Chapter 280: Change
After a while, when the woman bandaged a few bags of herbs and raised her head to gently wipe a few drops of fine sweat on her forehead, she accidentally saw a little spider looking at her by the window, and couldn't help but smile lightly: "Spider, are you back?" ”
Her facial features are exquisite, her appearance is delicate and beautiful, and her smile has a different kind of sweetness, which makes people feel a little good at a glance and feel pity.
Du Bai noticed that her facial features were quite similar to the young girl, or that the woman in front of her seemed to be the little girl when she grew up.
"Is it more than ten years in a flash?"
Of course, the speed of time in the dream world is different from reality, so Du Bai is not particularly surprised.
It's just that I can't help but wonder what kind of story I skipped in the middle, so that she, a child from Miao Jiang, is now alone in this strange Central Plains, relying on this spider......
I think there may be some special changes in the family......
Just as Du Bai was thinking, the woman brought a green leaf of an unknown plant from the side and put it in front of the spider and said, "Eat it, your favorite spirit leaf...... It's been getting harder and harder to find lately, and you have to go deep into the mountains to get ......."
Do spiders eat leaves?
Du Bai was a little strange, but this spider did eat it, and it seemed to eat it very well.
And he also found that this leaf seemed to contain a special aura, which could give birth to the spider's spiritual intelligence and help it become a essence......
When it was finished, the spider hissed and seemed to be talking to the woman. And the woman seemed to understand its words, and nodded the herbs that had been bandaged just now and replied with a smile: "Well, wasn't Aunt Zhang's grandson sick a few days ago, so I specially picked some herbs, hoping to help her." ”
Immediately, she frowned slightly, and sighed lightly: "After all, the goddess in the village is really unreasonable, these ordinary diseases are not allowed to the villagers to go to the doctor to see a doctor, and the price is too high, like if Aunt Zhang is not at home really can't come up with surplus food, she will not come to ask me to ......."
The spider continued to hiss.
The woman nodded, reached out and gently touched the spider as if to appease, and said with a light smile: "Spider, don't worry, Aunt Zhang is very good." I helped her last time, and she was kind enough to give me two eggs......"
After talking for a while in such a way that is incomprehensible to ordinary people, the spider crawled out along the wall, and it did not live here.
And it already had the first signs of becoming a demon, and when it passed by the other houses in the village, it keenly and faintly heard some whispers from other villagers.
"When does the woman from Miao Jiang plan to stay in our village before leaving?"
"Who knows, as long as she's here, I won't dare to go there......"
"Me too, and I'm so close, I'm afraid that in the middle of the night, some poisonous snake belly worm will crawl on my bed and bite me!"
"Speaking of which, I heard that a few days ago I saw a centipede as thick as her arm and a spider the size of a millstone crawling around in her house! It's a terrible person! ”
"Yes, I was also very scared, and repeatedly told my child that he should never get close to the house, but two days ago, the woman deliberately did some food to lure my child over, if my mother-in-law hadn't seen it in time, she ran over and slapped the food in her hand, I'm afraid my child would have really eaten it!"
"Oh, your family is so close to that Miaojiang woman and still in contact? Will she be secretly tricked? It's better to go to the goddess as soon as possible, and ask for peace of mind! ”
"Yes, yes, the goddess has said that the woman is dangerous, don't come close. It's still the most reliable to listen to the goddess! ”
……
There was a lot of talk about this, and as the spiders passed through the village, they could hear the gossip from the houses.
Although many of them sound ridiculous and unrealistic, these simple villagers are also the ones who believe in this weird tale the most.
But Du Bai looked slightly stunned, and slowly had a bad premonition in his heart, and vaguely had some guesses about the future of the Miao Jiang woman.
The seeds of calamity always seem to be planted slowly and inadvertently, and they also take root and sprout in people's hearts, and malice and distrust are the fuses......
After that, for a while, the spiders were hiding in the mountains, as if they were slowly digesting the previous accumulation, and they also seemed to be slowly brewing, waiting for the upcoming opportunity to break through the life level.
It seemed like a long process, and it was quickly skipped in the dream.
After the scene and time stabilized again, he could finally feel that although it still maintained the form of a spider and the volume was still not large, Du Bai could feel that it had already successfully transformed into a demon, and it seemed that because it had been refined before, its strength was a little stronger than that of ordinary monsters that had just been born!
At this time, it already has the same intelligence as a human, and it can finally speak, but it doesn't seem to be used to it, so at this moment, it makes a voice like a child who is just beginning to read, and stammers: "Demon ...... Fantasy...... Phantom clouds! ”
Du Bai remembered that Phantom Cloud was the name of the Miao Jiang woman.
He could somewhat understand the spider's feelings. One person and one spider have relied on each other for so many years, and it has long been a relationship comparable to that of relatives, and at this time I have finally become a demon, and such happy events naturally want to be shared with good friends.
But when the spider excitedly made its way through the mountains back to the village, it found that it seemed that a disaster was happening here that it had not anticipated.
Pestilence!
No one knows how it happened, and no one knows why it happened. All the people in the village know is that one night, someone began to cough violently, and the next day he had a high fever and could not go down to work.
Then came the second, the third......
Slowly, almost half of the village was infected, and even seriously ill people began to die!
Fear began to spread through the village, with roadside bodies wrapped in straw mats left unattended because the entire family had died, and unburned paper money used for funerals flew all over the air, as if a thick haze had enveloped the land.
The small village, which was once peaceful and peaceful, became empty in an instant, and most of the few pedestrians who could be seen on the road were either numb or weeping.
The fear of death has brought many here to the brink of collapse.
And the door of the legendary goddess was even more flattened, and many people dragged their families to the door in the hope of getting treatment, even if it was just to relieve the pain.
However, the goddess still maintained that arrogant attitude - she wanted to heal? Yes, pay the consultation fee, and the medicine for the treatment will naturally be given to you!
However, the price is much more expensive than before, and many people can't even afford it!
