Chapter 818: Smallpox
Just when Liu Xing thought that Zhang Jingxu would not be able to escape this time, Yin En suddenly said: "Brother Ding, don't be impulsive, if you really want to be unfavorable to Zhang Jingxu now, then the royal family will not let you go easily, so please think twice before you act." ”
Ding Kun smiled coldly and said indifferently: "What's there to be afraid of?" Didn't this kid from Taoyuan Village just say that they don't have a single weapon in Taoyuan Village, and these villagers of Taoyuan Village may not be able to fight once in their lives, so I don't think the old man of the royal family can do anything to us, not to mention that as long as we let Zhang Jingxu pay off his father's debts now, we can leave Taoyuan Village directly, I don't believe that the old man of the royal family will bring people out of Taoyuan Village to find trouble with us. ”
Yin En shook his head and hurriedly said: "Brother Ding, you can't say that, you must know that although these villagers in Taoyuan Village don't like to fight, they are all not short of strength, and there are nearly a thousand people in the entire Taoyuan Village, of which there must be at least two or three hundred strong men. In addition, there is one more thing I have to tell Brother Ding, that is, the royal clan elders can close the exit of Taoyuan Village at any time, which is also the last defense method of Taoyuan Village, so unless Brother Ding, you can escape from Taoyuan Village before Zhang Jingxu's body is discovered by the royal clan elders, otherwise you may never be able to leave Taoyuan Village. ”
"What? Why didn't you tell us about this in advance? Zhang Wenbing said with a frown.
Yin En sighed, rolled up his sleeves and said: "I can't help myself, when I left Taoyuan Village, I once made a poisonous oath to the royal family, that is, after I left Taoyuan Village, I must not tell others about Taoyuan Village, but I like to brag to others after drinking two glasses of wine, so I still told others about the existence of Taoyuan Village, so I was punished as I deserved." ”
Liu Xing took a closer look and found that a very obvious red line appeared on the inside of Yin En's arm.
"When this red line reaches my heart, I will die because of the rush to attack my heart, so I can only come back to the royal family elder to admit my mistakes, although the royal family old man forgave me, but I must come to Taoyuan Village every month to find the royal family old to get the antidote, and at the same time, I have also become the royal family old man's subordinate outside Taoyuan Village, and I can never betray the royal family." Zhang Jingxu said helplessly.
Zhang Jingxu raised his eyebrows, and said with some surprise: "Wait, Yin En, you said that you are a subordinate of the royal family elder, so the reason why we were able to enter Taoyuan Village was also decided by the royal family elder at the beginning." ”
Yin En nodded and said seriously: "That's right, if it weren't for the orders of the elder of the royal family, how would I dare to bring Zhang Jingxu and you into Taoyuan Village?" So I'll give you a thorough understanding here, now the old subordinates of the royal family must be watching us on the side, as long as Brother Ding, you really kill Zhang Jingxu, then we will all be finished. ”
Ding Kun hesitated for a while, while Zhang Wenbing let go of Liu Xingdao, "I see, then Yin En, do you know what the royal family wants to do?" ”
Yin En hurriedly shook his head and said: "I really can't say anything about this, because as long as I open my mouth to say what the old man of the royal family thinks, then I will die violently, so I hope Brother Zhang, you can let me go." ”
Zhang Wenbing took Yin En's cuffs, put the dagger against Yin En's heart and said, "Oh, then who do you think is more important, me or the old man of the royal family?" ”
Yin Eun kept silent, just kept shaking his head.
Zhang Wenbing saw that Yin En was dead or alive, so he could only let Yin En go.
Ding Kun saw that Zhang Wenbing had let go of Yin En, so he also put away the dagger, but his eyes were still full of hostility towards Zhang Jingxu.
As for Zhang Jingxu at this time, he looked at Zhang Wenbing and Ding Kun with contempt, and seemed not afraid that Zhang Wenbing and Ding Kun would be unfavorable to him again.
However, Ding Kun and Zhang Wenbing didn't pay attention to Zhang Jingxu, and got together to discuss something, after all, the current situation was not favorable to them, because although they wanted to avenge Heifeng Village, they had no intention of dying together with Zhang Jingxu.
After discussing for a while, Ding Kun said to Zhang Jingxu and Yin En: "Zhang Jingxu, Uncle Ben will let your head stay on your neck for a few days, but don't be too happy, we will avenge the revenge of Heifeng Village sooner or later, so if you and Yin En dare to tell the elders of the royal family about these things, then we will definitely not let you have a good time." ”
At this time, Zhang Wenbing also smiled at Liu Xing and said: "Little brother Liu Xing, I believe that although you have been staying in this isolated Taoyuan Village, you should also know what to say and what not to say, so we hope that you can behave yourself and be cautious in your words and deeds, otherwise you will have to try my dagger soon." ”
Liu Xing nodded hurriedly, pretending to be frightened.
As for Zhang Jingxu and Yin En, they finally agreed to Ding Kun's request.
Of course, Ding Kun and Zhang Wenbing also knew that Liu Xing and the three of them were only compromising on the surface, and they must be thinking about how to get rid of the control of the two of them behind their backs, so Ding Kun and Zhang Wenbing let Liu Xing and the three of them walk half a step in front of them to monitor Liu Xing and the others' every move.
However, Zhang Jingxu still didn't care, and kept asking Liu Xing about the customs of Taoyuan Village.
Soon, Liu Xing and the others walked to the pond where people were "active" every night.
Liu Xing deliberately looked at the pond twice, and Zhang Jingxu also noticed Liu Xing's strangeness.
"Liu Xing, is there any difference between this pond and other ponds? I think you seem to care about this pond. Zhang Jingxu asked with a smile.
Liu Xing pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then told Zhang Jingxu and the others what he had seen in the past few nights.
"Is there such a thing?!" Zhang Jingxu said in surprise: "I didn't expect that there are such terrible customs in your Taoyuan Village, I thought this was really a paradise!" ”
Yin En, who was on the side, said with a puzzled expression: "Brother Liu Xing, you can't see those things in your dreams, right?" I don't think this pond is any different from other ponds. ”
"I think so too." Ding Kun echoed.
As Ding Kun and Yin En said, the pond that Liu Xing followed looked no different from other ponds, and the water inside was also very clear, allowing people to see everything at the bottom of the pond at a glance.
The bottom of the pond can be said to be very clean, not even a large piece of gravel can be seen.
Although Liu Xing was sure that he was not wrong last night, he now has to admit that he may have made a mistake.
Of course, Zhang Jingxu and the others also knew that what Liu Xing said was true, but now they couldn't find anything unusual about this pond, so Zhang Jingxu took the lead and left the pond, ready to wait for another opportunity to find out.
So, Liu Xing and the others continued to move forward.
After walking around Taoyuan Village for more than an hour, Zhang Jingxu was escorted back to the home of the elder of the royal family by Zhang Wenbing and Yin En, and Liu Xing was threatened by Zhang Wenbing before leaving.
After returning home, Liu Xing began to think about a question, that is, should he tell the clan elders what happened today?
To be honest, Liu Xing really didn't expect that his group would "turn against each other" in this mod, and the five people belonged to four different camps - as the aboriginal of Taoyuan Village, he was suspicious of the existence of Taoyuan Village, and most importantly, he witnessed a terrible scene; Zhang Jingxu, as a celebrity in Wuling City, wanted to find out in Taoyuan Village, but was trapped in Taoyuan Village, and there were two traitors around him who wanted to end his life; Yin En, as a fisherman controlled by the old royal family, can be said to be in Cao Ying's heart in Han, he must want to get rid of the control of the old royal family; As for Ding Kun and Zhang Wenbing, their goal now is very simple, that is, to leave Taoyuan Village with Zhang Jingxu, and then solve Zhang Jingxu.
Of course, although Liu Xing and the others belonged to different camps, except for Liu Xing, the main purpose of everyone else was to leave Taoyuan Village, so everyone still had a reason to sit together and cooperate.
However, the character of "Zhang Jingxu" is really troublesome, and Liu Xing suspects that "Zhang Jingxu" is very likely to be unwilling to cooperate with Zhang Wenbing and Ding Kun.
So now if he wants to promote cooperation between all parties, Liu Xing feels that there is only one way, that is, to force the royal family to act in advance, so that Zhang Jingxu, who finds danger, can have a reason to cooperate with his mortal enemy.
However, if what Yin En said is true, then the next problem is also very troublesome, that is, the entrance and exit of Taoyuan Village are under the control of the old royal family, and unless his party leaves unknowingly, they will definitely be closed and beaten by the old royal family.
Therefore, Liu Xing knew that if he went to tell a certain clan elder, then Zhang Jingxu's resurrection module would fail nine times out of ten.
Thinking of the end, Liu Xing felt that it was better to wait and see what happened for a while.
At this moment, Liu's mother suddenly said in the living room: "Liu Xing, the royal family always asked you to go to his house. ”
Liu Xing frowned, could it be that something happened to Zhang Jingxu?
Liu Xing hurriedly rushed to the outside of the courtyard of the old royal family, and found that there was no movement in the courtyard, and it seemed that it was not Zhang Jingxu, Zhang Wenbing and Ding Kunyu who died and broke the net.
After breathing a sigh of relief in his heart, Liu Xing entered the royal elder's house and was taken to the living room by a royal elder's subordinates.
In the living room at this time, Zhang Jingxu and others were sitting around a round table with the elders of the royal family, and several dishes had already been served on the table.
As Zhang Jingxu wrote in a small note before, Liu Xing saw several vegetables that were introduced to China in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the plates used to serve the dishes were also complex and colorful.
As for the round table or something, Liu Xing didn't want to complain.
"Liu Xing, since Mr. Zhang is willing to recruit you as a guide, then you have to entertain Mr. Zhang for me." The elder of the royal family said with a smile.
Liu Xing nodded and said respectfully: "The kid will listen to the clan elder's orders." ”
The elder of the royal family stretched out his hand and pointed to a position next to Yin En, and said, "Sit down." ”
Liu Xing hurriedly walked over and sat down, but he didn't forget to take the opportunity to observe the situation of Zhang Jingxu and the others.
Because he was worried that Zhang Jingxu would suddenly expose the two of them, Ding Kun sat down next to Zhang Jingxu, while Zhang Wenbing was eyeing Yin En.
However, on the surface, Zhang Jingxu and others are not unusual.
After the banquet, the elders of the royal family have been asking Zhang Jingxu all kinds of questions about Wuling City, and Zhang Jingxu has been answering fluently.
"I didn't expect that after so many years, the outside world has become like this, I really wish I could go and see the scenery outside in my lifetime." The elder of the royal family suddenly sighed.
Zhang Jingxu immediately smiled and said: "Elder of the royal family, you are still moving freely now, you can follow me to Wuling City for a spin, and I will also fulfill the friendship of the landlord at that time." ”
The elder of the royal family shook his head, and said with some melancholy: "Forget it, I can go out for a walk now on the surface, but I can feel that my body is no longer good, if I really have to travel a long way to Wuling City, I'm afraid I will never be able to return to Taoyuan Village, so I can only thank Mr. Zhang here for your kindness." ”
Zhang Jingxu thought for a while, and took advantage of the situation to say: "Elder of the royal family, I actually want to ask you a question, that is, now that the world is peaceful, your Taoyuan Village can also be reborn to get in touch with the outside world, and when the time comes, with the various specialties of your Taoyuan Village, it will definitely be able to significantly improve everyone's living standards." ”
The elder of the royal family showed a meaningful smile, then shook his head and said: "Mr. Zhang, in fact, you should also know very well that our Taoyuan Village is already self-contained, completely self-sufficient, and everyone lives in peace and contentment, but if Taoyuan Village is really reborn, our Taoyuan Village may never have peace." ”
Zhang Jingxu wanted to speak and stopped, and finally could only nod and remain silent.
"Okay, let's not talk about this issue again, and I also hope that after you leave our Taoyuan Village, you will never mention our Taoyuan Village to others again, and it is better not to come to our Taoyuan Village again." The elder of the royal family wanted to say something more, but suddenly shivered.
Seeing this, Liu Xing hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern: "Elder of the royal family, what's wrong with you?" Are you not feeling well? ”
The elder of the royal family waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, I've suddenly had a little headache and fatigue in the past two days, maybe I'm old." ”
Liu Xing nodded, and he had some calculations in his heart.
The royal family is old and has smallpox!
As a medical student, Liu Xing knows that smallpox is one of the oldest infectious diseases, and symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, and chills can occur in the early stages of the disease.
What's more, when Liu Xing was close to the elder of the royal family, he saw that the elder of the royal family had a rash on his forehead and cheeks!
