Chapter 517: The Plague
The next morning, An Shuangchi and Mo Qingrou went to find the county order.
It's just that no matter where the person is, after waiting for such a little sesame, the junior official will always have a feeling of looking down on people, and at such a time, An Shuangchi's token in his hand can be regarded as having a role.
As soon as these people saw this, they naturally didn't dare to slack off.
The county order here is that a middle-aged man with a fat brain doesn't look like a good thing.
"You are the county magistrate Zhang!"
He nodded hurriedly.
"I wonder what happened to Lord Jinyiwei coming over today? Why didn't people give advance notice? ”
The county commander opened his mouth strangely, An Shuangchi's tone paused, and he was helpless in his heart.
He wasn't trying to deceive people, but pretending to be now might get what he wanted to know faster.
"I just came to do a surprise inspection as ordered, and I don't know, what happened to you here, why is it so deserted, it's just unbelievable, because I also came to this place a few years ago, and it wasn't as desolate as it is now, and you tell me what happened in these three short years?"
As soon as the county magistrate heard this question, the expression on his face was exactly the same as that of the shopkeeper just now, which made Mo Qingrou feel even more curious.
He wanted to know even more what interesting things happened in this small place, which actually made this official afraid to become like this?
"It's not that my lord is talking nonsense, it's just that our place accidentally offended the Celestial God a few years ago, and the Celestial Lord's plague sent down the Celestial God, so we became what we are now."
An Shuangchi has never believed in these words, he has never felt that there are any ghosts and gods in this world, for him, these are just scary people.
"You are talking nonsense here, something important has happened, you, as a parent official, should tell the court about this matter as soon as possible, otherwise what if this disease spreads everywhere, what should you do then?"
An Shuangchi spoke, but the county magistrate also shook his head helplessly.
"That god lives on the back mountain, and we need to send a living person over every half a month, otherwise the plague will be brought to us again, and we have no choice but to do what he asks, so the talents here will become fewer and fewer, and more and more deserted, because there are some people who have to rely on have run out, and the rest are people who were born and raised here and have nowhere to go."
An Shuangchi felt even more strange after seeing this.
But it can also be determined that the person on the mountain behind him will definitely not be a god, someone should be pretending to be a ghost, but why does he need a living person every half a month?
"Rou'er, why don't you just stand in this place, I'll go tonight according to this Lord Zhang's words, but take a good look at the back mountain, what kind of person is he, pretending to be a ghost here to make people panic, if I am caught, he will definitely die a good death."
An Shuangchi opened her mouth indignantly, but after Lord Zhang heard this, you felt a little anxious when you drank.
"Lord Jinyiwei, it's not what I want to see when something like this happens, but I know that we can't offend that adult, otherwise this matter will only get worse and worse, and none of us will be able to end it at that time."
"That's it, no matter what kind of consequences happen, I will bear it alone, and I don't need you to make any sacrifices, so it's okay, right?"
An Shuangchi spoke, and Lord Zhang nodded at this time.
"Okay, Lord Jinyiwei, since you don't believe me, then you can see for yourself, but if there is an accident for one day, don't blame us."
After hearing this, An Shuangchi also nodded impatiently.
When he looked at Mo Qingrou, he was extraordinarily gentle.
"Wait here for me, I've seen something in the past, and if there's anything, you're waiting here for me to know, right? Don't run around. ”
Mo Qingrou was also a little reluctant after hearing this, after all, she didn't have a good feeling in this place, and it would be too difficult to let her stay here alone.
"Why can't you let me go with you? I'm a little scared if I'm left here alone, and if he suspects that something happened to you, the two of us can take care of it, right? ”
When Master Zhang heard this, he immediately shook his head. After all, this matter is not trivial for them, and if there is really any accident here at that time, I am afraid that he will not be able to explain it to the above at that time.
"I advise you to forget it, although I also know that you are thinking about our people here, but something has happened, and there is nothing to be done. You'd better die of this heart, and don't cause any more unnecessary trouble to our people here. ”
After An Shuangchi heard this, he immediately felt a little magical, what is called unnecessary trouble, is it that for this person, the safety of so many people here does not matter, no wonder the people here are so timid, it turns out that there is such a timid adult.
"If you feel like you're in this position you're doing a little bit uncomfortable. Just tell me directly, and I will arrange someone to take your place when the time comes, and everything that happens here will be exposed, and then see which of us will be scolded. ”
When Master Zhang heard this, you felt a little scared in your heart, so you were embarrassed to say anything more, so you had to nod.
"If the two relatives say so, then I can't help it, if you really want to go, I can only ask you to be careful."
An Shuangchi looked at Mo Qingrou, although she didn't want this girl to go on an adventure with her, but after going through so many things, the two of them couldn't be separated.
Even if they knew that the road was full of dangers, they had to go down together.
"Since you said so, I don't have to worry about leaving you here alone, you can go with me, and the two of us can be more careful when the time comes, and there is no need to care so much."
Mo Qingrou nodded reassuringly after hearing this, she was unwilling to let a person like him face danger.
The two of them simply packed up some things and walked to the mountain behind.
I don't seem to have anything strange here, except for a few tall trees that don't seem to be remarkable, but it's cool and doesn't let in the sun at all, and the rest doesn't seem to be a big deal.
"Where the hell is that immortal? I'm going to see what kind of people are pretending to be gods here, and killing so many people? ”
Mo Qingrou originally thought that this was just a superstitious reason, but the illness of so many people should have a lot to do with this person.
"Now let's split up and look for it."
Mo couldn't help but ask, but was refused.
"How can this be? None of us have ever been to this place, so what if the two of us get lost before we can find him? You're still obediently by my side, so that I can protect you from any danger, don't you? ”
Mo Qingrou also felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, but he also nodded reluctantly, and now it seems that it can only be like this.
After two people looked here for a while, they found that it was not a big deal, but at this time they found out that I left a small thatched hut here, and it seems that this so-called fairy lives in it.
"I thought he was really a great person, but now it seems that he is just a doctor, and the two of us don't know what will happen here, so we have to be careful."
Mo spoke softly, and An Shuangchi nodded.
There was smoke outside the thatched hut, and it seemed that there were indeed people living inside.
The two of them also went in secret.
It seems that the owner of this place is not here now, but what is going on to make this person kill the people here? But it wasn't until the two of them went in that they understood why?
This place was a little scary for the two of them, too, with lots and lots of beds made of ice.
The whole room looked very eerie, after all, there were so many corpses here, and each corpse was stuck in a while, it seemed that this person was studying the so-called human body.
"It's just too much, it seems that those people were sent here, and nine times out of ten they have become the test subjects of this person, we definitely can't let him slip away like this."
Mo felt that his humanitarian spirit had been seriously damaged, but he didn't expect that there would be such cruel people in such an era.
An Shuangchi had no choice but to nod helplessly, at this time the two of them heard it, and there was a sound of footsteps from outside, it seemed that the so-called fairy who lived here had returned, and now the two of them could not startle the snake, so they could only hide silently to the side, wanting to wait and see.
The two of them only found out at this time that the person was an old man with gray hair and beard.
This old man does seem to have a bit of a fairy meaning, and he shouldn't do such a thing.
The first thing the old man did when he entered the door was to care about whether his corpses had been damaged, and after checking them, there were no accidents, and then he nodded reassuringly and sat down.
Sitting here like this and doing nothing, An Shuangchi and Mo Qingrou only felt a little anxious.
After all, the two of them were indeed a little tired hiding in such a small corner.
