5. A Loving Mother Eats Her Son Chapter 47 An Uninvited Guest
"That's so good, you should be planting and selling, right?" Mingxia drank a little first, pursed his lips, felt that the taste was not bad, and learned to dry it in one gulp!
"No, no, no," Li Zheng shook his hand again and again, "These are the same as the sacred trees, they are all given by the mountains, and they can't be moved easily." ”
"In other words, this grass also grows in the mountains, and it is in the same place as the paulownia tree!?" Yu Bing put down the water glass and said softly.
"Yes, even though it grows here, it's easy not to get it. That place is very evil, every time I go to a dozen people, only one or two come back in the end, and after coming back, I will be in a coma for a long time. Li Zheng said this, carefully closed the door, returned to his original position and sat down and continued, "It is said that this is a mountain spirit and a ghost, and people with yang energy should not take it." ”
"I'm getting more and more interested in this place!" When Chang Xiao heard this, he was also completely aroused by his curiosity.
"By the way, you have a little son missing here. Don't know what you know? Mingxia saw that a few people were getting farther and farther away, and reminded him with a needle.
"Who doesn't know!?" Li Zheng suddenly understood, "It turns out that you are here for this matter, so you are all official families?" ”
"Mingxia, late autumn," Mingxia hadn't waited for Yubing to speak, and had already rushed back first, "The two of us were ordered to come to visit the county master." ”
"Yo! You are still the distinguished guests of the county master!? Lizheng's daughter-in-law brought two dishes in her hand, and put them down on the table after entering the door, "We are at least seven or eight miles away from the county government here, and there are many big insects in the mountains. ”
"Just do what your daughter-in-law says!" Li Zheng responded in his mouth, and the people had already accused Yubing and them of going out.
As Yu Bing and the others chatted, time passed.
"Why hasn't this old man come back? All the dishes are ready! "Coming in with the last soup, Lizheng's daughter-in-law couldn't help but complain when she saw that her husband hadn't come back yet." No, I'm going to check it out! Putting down the soup, she reached out and wiped it on the apron around her waist, "You sit down first, if you are hungry, eat first, you're welcome, don't worry about us." Mine go and see where he's gone! As he spoke, he took off his apron, put it on the bench, and hurried out of the yard......
"The adults here are so welcoming!" Chang Xiao put down the bamboo cup and muttered to himself.
"That's not right!" Yu Bing seemed to think of something, and when he reached the bamboo cup on his lips, he paused, "Glad you met him at home?" Or on the road? ”
"I met on the road!" Happy didn't understand, "What's wrong?" Any questions? ”
"What do you do when you have a guest in your house?"
"Of course, please sit down and pour tea?" Happy looked at Yu Bing suspiciously, "Isn't that exactly what he did?" Isn't that normal? ”
"No, didn't you pay attention? He took us out into the yard first and didn't go into the house right away, but got permission from the hostess to bring us in! Yu Bing gently turned the bamboo cup and analyzed, "If he is the male owner of this house, why does he have to ask the woman's consent to bring him into the house?" Instead of bringing it in directly? ”
"What's the difference?" Mingxia listened for a long time before interjecting, "It just shows that this man is afraid of his daughter-in-law!" ”
"No, it's not just that, it's more!" Yu Bing put down the bamboo cup, "If she is really the hostess of this house, she should be familiar with all the rooms, and she can advance and retreat freely with her eyes closed." Then how could she walk to the next room with the food and come back only when she saw that she had made a mistake? ”
"And that kind of thing?" Chang Xiao tightened the sword in his hand, "I'm too careless!" ”
"Why didn't I find out?" Wanqiu picked up the bamboo cup again, and was about to take a sip, when she heard Yu Bing say this, she immediately threw it on the table, "Forget it!" If you don't drink it, who knows if he added any other condiments to the water! ”
"Even with other condiments, you've been drinking it for so long!" Happy rolled his eyes, "I've already drunk everything in my stomach!" ”
"You," the late autumn pair is happy, always the tip of the needle to the wheat, but every time it ends in failure.
"What now?" Chang Xiao stood beside Yu Bing, on guard at all times. "Are you still waiting?"
"The best defense is offense!" Mingxia copied the silver gun in his hand, "Go!" Look for him! ”
Before he finished speaking, there was a sound of fighting in the courtyard......
Several people looked at each other, nodded silently, turned their heads to blow out the nearest candle, and quietly touched the door together......
Looking out through the crack in the door:
The two men in black were having a lot of fun in the yard! One person makes a knife, and the other plays with a folding fan. You come and go, what is demolished in the aftermath of the fight, and the neat yard will be demolished in a short time! There is no such thing as a complete thing.
"Sister Bing, where can we help?" Happy leaned over to Yu Bing's side and asked quietly.
"Let's see!" Yu Bing looked at the fight scene outside, and always felt that the figure of one of them was extremely familiar.
Just as she was about to make a move, another man in black seemed to notice the existence of several of them. After temporarily stopping his opponent with a few ruthless moves, his figure withdrew from the courtyard in a few flashes, and instantly disappeared into the darkness......
The person behind didn't have time to say anything, just nodded to Yu Bing and the others, and disappeared in the direction where the person had disappeared......
"Let's go, catch up and see!" After Yu Bing finished speaking, the person had already rushed in the direction where the two had disappeared......
"This?" Seeing that she was missing in the blink of an eye, Late Autumn only had time to say a word.
"What is this, what is this, and I still haven't kept up!" Happy said this, and people also swept through the courtyard with Chang Xiao.
"I," Wanqiu pointed to herself, and wordlessly pointed in the direction where they disappeared, Mingxia took his hand, "What am I, let's go!" ”
"Sister Bing, there are corpses!" Chang Xiao, who was at the front, was mixed by the things under his feet, stopped and squatted down to check, and said to Yu Bing, who was following behind.
"Ahh Sister Bing, I have it here! Then came the happy exclamation!
"We've found out, too!" Mingxia followed closely behind.
"A lot of people have died here!" Late Autumn was the last to interject.
"Judging by the way he was dressed, it was obvious that he was from the village where we came just now." Yu Bing came to one of the corpses, crouched down and examined them carefully, and came to the conclusion, "They have calluses on their hands and feet from years of farm work. And they're all young adults. ”
"You shouldn't get sick at this age, right?" Mingxia also saw that it was unusual, "Even if you die of disease, it is impossible for everyone to die immediately after getting sick!" There's got to be a time lag, right? ”
"Huh!? Isn't this Rizheng? "Happy walked a few more steps into the depths of the jungle, but I didn't expect to find an accident." Why did he die here!? ”
"What did you say?" Yu Bing immediately got up and walked towards Xingxing, "Are you sure it's Lizheng?" ”
"Of course! After all, we were in his house, and we can't be mistaken! Happy nodded affirmatively.
When he came to the corpse, he looked at the familiar face that he had just talked and laughed with, but now it was full of flies, and he squatted down and observed carefully: "It's him!" Wrapping her hands in a silk handkerchief, she pressed the dead skin, "And judging by the degree of decay, it should have been dead for half a month!" After getting up again, Yu Bing took the handkerchief handed over by Chang Xiao, rubbed his hands and said confusedly, "Strange, how did he die?" ”
"Didn't these people get killed?" Late Autumn looked at Yu Bing with some surprise.
"It's not!" Yu Bing shook his head, "He doesn't have the slightest external injury on his body. The hand touches the heart and lungs normally, and it is not suffocation. At this point, she paused and continued, "He must have starved to death!" ”
"Starving?" Even Chang Xiao felt strange, "Won't they be looking for food?" I think there's a lot more to eat around here! How could they starve to death? ”
Mingxia searched around among these corpses, and after a while, he was full of harvest: "To be precise: 'Why can't they eat?' Mingxia spread out what he found from those corpses to a few people: fire folds, insect repellent, and some tung tree fruits. The most eye-catching thing is the scallion pancakes in the baggage, which are already moldy and hairy!
"Isn't that something to eat?" Happy to look at the corpses lying on the ground in all directions. looked at the food in Mingxia's hand suspiciously, "Why would they rather starve to death than eat?" ”
I think of something! Chang Xiao plucked the silver hairpin on his head, and checked these foods one by one, but found that the silver hairpin was as bright as new, without the slightest sign of poison. "It's not poisonous!? So why don't they eat it? ”
"Strange!" Yu Bing picked a wildflower at some point, and gently rotated it in his hand, "There is no miasma here, and there will be no hallucinations." There is no trace of other people's fighting, and it is not a collective stomach problem. Why, exactly? Yu Bing paced back and forth, carefully sorting out her thoughts. The pace suddenly stopped, she sniffed the wildflowers in her hand carefully, and then looked up and down carefully before smiling, "I see! ”
"What's wrong?" Seeing her smiling happily in late autumn, she was a little inexplicable for a while.
"Stupid!" happily replied to him proudly, "Sister Bing, this is the answer!" ”
"Oh!? Wild flower? "Late autumn can also see that all this seems to be related to the wildflowers in her hands." What does this have to do with it? He picked one nearby, just as he was about to smell it.
"Don't!" Yu Bing immediately persuaded, "Don't smell it!" ”
He was a little puzzled for a moment, "Why?" Haven't you been taking it and smelling it for so long? ”
"If you don't want to be like them, lie here forever, just listen to Sister Bing!" Happy took the wildflowers from his hand and played with himself, of course, far from his nose.
Yu Bing took the flower away from her nose, and when she saw that she was still puzzled in late autumn, she patiently explained: "This flower is called stuffy head flower, also known as poisonous fish grass, and smelling it will not be fatal." Without waiting for Wanqiu to refute, she added, "But if you smell it for a long time, you will be dizzy, nauseous and want to vomit." If you can't escape in time at this time, you will slowly become weak, and your whole body will be sore, and you can only watch yourself fall to the ground. It won't let you die right away! It wants you to slowly experience the taste of death, so most of them can't breathe and suffocate to death in the back, and there are people like these people on the ground, starving to death! ”
