Chapter 20: The Plague
Fu Jingchu was even more unappetized by her sharp tooth skills.
I can't see that the arrogant and domineering daughter of the Ye family on weekdays looks like a dog.
This lost his appetite, so Fu Jingchu got up and stood in the courtyard looking around and observing.
Looking at the lush bamboo forests around them, only some bamboo forests looked very depressed.
He crouched down and gently pinched the dirt with his fingers, and then compared it with the bamboo woodland outside the door, and then he felt that what he was thinking was not wrong.
There is indeed something wrong with this bamboo garden.
Aze saw Fu Jingchu walk out of the door, but he was nowhere to be seen in the blink of an eye, and he was a little worried in his heart.
Ye Chu took care of both ends, serving vegetables to Aze for a while, and vegetables for the eldest lady for a while.
When he saw Aze's worried expression, he comforted: "Master Fu naturally has something, don't worry. ”
She wished that something would happen to Fu Jingchu, so that she might be able to smear oil on the soles of her feet and return to Jingzhou.
Anyway, she couldn't get used to staying here, and once this person left the house, she found that the outside was not as comfortable as at home.
It's just that her unkind calculation was in vain.
When she saw Fu Jingchu coming back from the door, she was silent, just burying her head in hardship.
All the meat and rice in this mouth are Fu Jingchu, gritting his teeth and chewing it.
If he hadn't insisted on bringing her here, she would have suffered so much.
Fu Jingchu returned to his original position with his hands behind his back, and asked, "Auntie, how many years have you lived here?" ”
This opening made Ye Chu a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, Fu Jingchu, who grew up in Jingzhou, could speak fluent southwestern Mandarin, and she really underestimated Fu Jingchu.
As soon as the eldest lady heard Fu Jingchu speak in dialect, she finally didn't have to say the broken Jingzhou dialect anymore.
In the blink of an eye, he also responded to Fu Jingchu in dialect: "I grew up in Zhuyuan when I was a child, and I have never been far away from home for generations, but this is the only place to go to Jianghuai, so I know a little Jingzhou dialect." ”
"Auntie, the people in Zhuyuan now wear veils, is this some custom of Zhuyuan?" Fu Jingchu continued to ask.
At the mention of this matter, the eldest lady's face was unspeakable, and she sighed heavily: "In the past, the villagers in the bamboo garden were not like this. ”
According to the information provided by the eldest mother, Aze translated it to Ye Chu, and Ye Chu sorted out the whole thing.
It turned out that there was a peaceful atmosphere in Zhuyuan Village before, but this peaceful atmosphere was completely broken seven days ago.
At first, I didn't know who was sick, and then I started a large-scale contagion, and the disease was so ferocious that people began to die in less than three days.
Everyone thought it was a vicious disease, and it was probably a plague.
They did not dare to report it to local officials because they were afraid that they would be used as quarantine areas, so they set them on fire.
In order to protect themselves, they can only live with veils on their faces.
Many shops and taverns have been closed, and some even believe that it is all due to the illness caused by outsiders.
As long as there are outsiders who do not wear veils, they will be driven out of the village by the villagers of Zhuyuan Village, just to protect the entire village.
After hearing this, Ye Chu also lost his appetite for eating, put the dishes and chopsticks lightly on the bamboo table, and asked, "Auntie, you just said that the disease brought by the outsider, who is this outsider?" ”
