All the way down the mountain, to take the carriage back to the yard, Yu Wenhao didn't say much. It was Xu Yi who was chattering vigorously outside, saying that Mirror Lake was really magical.

Yuan Qingling didn't speak either. The frenzy is followed by deep thought.

Since she came here, she has missed her family all the time. The appearance of Jinghu reminded her of the homesickness that she had finally suppressed.

She wouldn't be so irrational to jump off the mirror lake, she just thought. A lot of things are justified when they exist. Since it is reasonable, there must be people who understand, such as those who send Mo Yilai.

With such a person and such a place as Mirror Lake, she became more and more determined. It's not a dream to go home and see it. It is possible in the coming days, and the hope is growing little by little.

Yu Wenhao was silent for a long time. He held back a sentence to Yuan Qingling, "Don't think about what happened before you borrowed the corpse to resurrect the soul." ”

Yuan Qingling leaned on him, "I didn't think about it." ”

"What the hell is that plane? Is it the entrance to the underworld? Yu Wenhao didn't understand in the end, and he was afraid because he didn't understand.

He felt that Yuan Qingling would be so happy. Presumably, Mirror Lake has something to do with borrowing corpses to resurrect souls.

Yuan Qingling smiled and said, "Why do you think like that? ”

Yuwen Hao said sullenly: "For me." It was like an entrance to hell. ”

Yuan Qingling just got closer and closer to him, and he couldn't tell the difference. After all. It is uncertain whether the mirror lake is the entrance to time and space, and what the Taoist said is not necessarily credible, not that he is lying, but that the master uncle may have gone down the mountain by himself, everyone thought that he got off the mirror lake and appeared last, and mistakenly thought that he appeared from the mirror lake, as for the other world and the entrance to time and space, it may also be heard from elsewhere, and it is even possible that he knew the juniors, and the juniors told him about the things of the other world and space.

So, now that I'm calming down, I'm thinking more rationally.

Back in the courtyard, Ah Si grabbed Yuan Qingling and spoke, "The two of them haven't said a word today. ”

Yuan Qingling sighed, "Don't force it, let them each like it." ”

Ah Si said depressedly: "It's just not a taste to watch." ”

Yuan Qingling gently patted her shoulder, and then went in to see Yuan Yongyi's wound.

Man'er pulled Ah Si to talk about everything he saw in Mirror Lake today, saying that Mirror Lake was a different world, and that if he lost something and went in, he would disappear immediately, and Ah Si wanted to go and see it, and looked at Xu Yi excitedly, "Let's go again tomorrow." ”

Xu Yi looked at Ah Si's shining eyes, and said lightly: "Don't go, so as not to misunderstand." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Ah Si looked at his back in surprise, what did he misunderstand? This kid hasn't lost his breath yet, huh? It's stingy!

There is nothing to say all night, and everyone has something to worry about. The next day he was going to leave for the leprosy mountain.

Yuan Yongyi was injured, so King Qi and Ah Si took her back to the capital first.

Xu Yi and Man'er followed Yu Wenhao and his wife to secretly go to the leprosy mountain to have a look, and they had personally seen the situation on the leprosy mountain, and Yuan Qingling could also make a plan.

No one is allowed to enter the leprosy mountain, especially the current crown prince, if people know about it, they are afraid that they will be impeached in the court.

When leprosy broke out five years ago, an official in the DPRK proposed that leprosy patients be killed and their bodies burned.

This is because leprosy has always existed, but it is rare to have such a dense outbreak in Beijing.

This official, named He Ruxiu, is the Zuo Sancai regular attendant of Menxia Province, and now he is the disciple of King An. This He Ruxiu was born in the imperial examination, and was promoted by Di Weiming, and when he came to the province of Menxia six years ago, when leprosy broke out, it was he who ran rampant with a vicious disease, which damaged the Tianwei of the Northern Tang Dynasty.

Because it was a secret performance, no one knew about this matter, and Yuwen Hao would know that he happened to be waiting in front of the hospital bed of the Emperor Taishang at that time, and he heard Emperor Ming Yuan go to discuss with the Emperor Taishang.

The Emperor Taishang was sick at the time, and he was very sympathetic to the patients, so he did not agree with He Ruxiu's proposal, and finally chose a compromise method to confine these patients in the mountains, and the place where the people were confined at that time was only ten acres of mountainous land.

The supply is the responsibility of the imperial court, but these are all patients abandoned by the world, and the imperial court is only responsible for life, maintenance, death and burial, as for the quality of life, it is completely absent.

They were kept here like dogs, the food was the worst, and the yamen, who were in charge of supply, did not give a single piece of meat all year round.

This is the real situation on the leprosy mountain today, but the silver allocated by the imperial court is enough to supply a meal of meat every day, and it is not known whose pocket the money of these appropriations falls on.

Yu Wenhao never asked about Leprosy Mountain before, but in fact, no official in Beijing would think about paying attention to these patients who were abandoned on the mountain, and no one was willing to mention it.

If it weren't for Mama Xi's leprosy and Yuan Qingling's attention, probably Leprosy Mountain would never appear in anyone's eyes.

The bottom of the mountain is unguarded, because no one can come up here.

The soldiers on the mountain did not guard against outsiders, but from the sick.

Therefore, it is not difficult for Yu Wenhao and Yuan Qingling to go up the mountain, but if they want to go in, they must take the dense forest, but they don't need to really go deep into the dense forest, they just need to go over from the side.

It is around the Mid-Autumn Festival, whether it is the capital or the state capitals, they are celebrating the reunion in a big way, but since the moment they set foot on the mountain, they feel that the dead silence and strange atmosphere are filled, and the sun is clearly hanging high, and it always gives people a cold feeling, as if this is a hell where the sun does not shine.

There is a world of difference between this and yesterday at Wanfo Mountain.

Bypassing the edge of the forest, you will find a flat land, on which there are dense and low buildings, wooden houses, very rudimentary and disorderly.

There was a mountain breeze blowing here, but there was a stench blowing from the other side of the house, and when I took a deep breath, it seemed to smell of rotting corpses.

Xu Yi soon discovered that the carrion corpse was not transmitted from there, and he, who had always been babbling, was also sad at this time, "There are a lot of corpses over there." ”

Yu Wenhao and Yuan Qingling looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a mass grave-like hill outside the fence, with white bones piled up on it, corpses lying horizontally, stinky flies buzzing around the freshly decomposed corpses, and the smell came from this hillock, and at a glance, there were at least four or five hundred corpses including the white bones.

Because it is close to the dense forest, no one burns the corpses, and the wind and sunlight in the forest are not enough, and the corpses stink when they decompose, and you can even see the rotting corpse liquid on the ground.

Yuan Qingling almost didn't throw it up, she held on to the trunk next to her, retched, and tears came out, on this leprosy mountain, human life is very cheap.

When they died, there was no one to bury them, they just discarded them here.
