Chapter Eighty-Four: The Curse
Zuo Wenchan frowned and looked at Lin Xia, and his intuition told him that Lin Xia must have other channels to learn some news in advance. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for them to perceive the problem by the route he led.
"How did you know about the route?"
"Mr. Zuo, it's very boring to go around like this. Since we have the same purpose, we cooperate without trust and mutual suspicion. It's just going to make everyone tired. β
Shen Yu did not answer Zuo Wenchan's words, and directly pointed out the main idea. Zuo Wenchan must have his own purpose, to be exact, it was the Zuo brothers who went down to this tomb, and it was definitely not a matter of what fog spirit mushrooms they said.
"What do you want?"
Zuo Feiyu was swept by Shen Yu's scrutinizing gaze, a little uncomfortable.
"I won't ask about the real purpose of your coming here, but don't hinder us from investigating the case, we will each take what we need."
"That's nature..."
"That's good! I hope you remember what you just said. β
After finishing speaking, Shen Yu continued to bite his ears and whisper to Lin Xia, just like a scene of honey mixing oil and sprinkling dog food. The angry Zuo Feiyu felt like a stone in his heart, so he simply went to the courtyard to breathe, and Zuo Wenchan also went out.
After the two left, Lin Xia smiled shyly: "You still have a way, but we really don't interfere in their affairs?" β
"I just said they don't get in our way, I didn't say it, I don't check on them. Besides, I don't need to look it up! Isn't it Brother Sen? β
Ah Sen, who was remotely located on the other end, was made upside down by the title Shen Yu. In order to ensure the safety of the two people, they also have to listen to the movement and terrain restoration at any time, and Asen cannot leave the workshop for a moment. As a result, Shen Yu gave him another job with a word.
"Team Shen, capitalist oppression is not advisable."
When the two heard Ah Sen's words, they almost squirted out the tea in their mouths. You must know that Assen, as a technical worker, usually speaks little, and it is a miracle to be able to say a few more words. This kind of cold joke has been forced out, which shows how helpless Asen is.
Lin Xia giggled and instigated, "Sen Sen! Capitalism is all vampires and has no human rights. Don't take this kind of drudgery next time, let you Shen team go in a hurry. β
Ah Sen controls four computers with two hands to check things, and from time to time he has to look at the dimension map of the terrain restoration. Hearing Lin Xia's words, he let out a rare wry smile. Then he said: "Thank you for the remote comfort of the capitalist lady." β
At this time, the tea in Lin Xia's mouth was completely sprayed, and he laughed loudly while coughing, this kid is so cute! Shen Yu also held back a smile on the side, knowing that Ah Sen was working very hard for this, but he didn't want this kid to be a hidden poisonous tongue.
When the brothers in the courtyard heard the laughter, they thought it was Lin Xia and the couple playing again. Zuo Wenchan looked at Zuo Feiyu with a black face and shook his head helplessly.
"There are times in life when you have to have it, and there are times in life when you don't have to force it. To let her go is to let yourself go. β
"I know, I don't need to be reminded. How's your preparation? β
"It has already been deployed, and the reason why they haven't understood the mausoleum for ten years is that they haven't found the real coffin. But where is the real coffin, we need Shen Yu and them to find it. As long as you find it, you can also find something to deal with Tao Yan. β
"The Fog Spirit Mushroom is just a cover, and it is estimated that Lin Xia and they also know it. But we didn't lie, the fog spirit mushroom can indeed resist Tao Yan's psychedelic drugs, but we just want to make Tao Yan disappear completelyΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Before Zuo Feiyu finished speaking, Zuo Wenchan suddenly pressed his finger against Zuo Feiyu's lips and made a silent movement. Zuo Feiyu looked left and right, and saw that Lu Mei's mother was walking over here after cooking.
"The meal is ready, let's have something to eat! When Lao Lu comes back, you can continue to talk. β
Lu Mei's mother was very depressed, but in this village in the deep mountains, the man's words were bigger than the sky, even if her daughter died, the body did not return. What Lu Zhenmin explained, she still has to do.
"Auntie has worked hard, you can rest! Eat together later. β
Lin Xia saw Lu Mei's mother outside the hospital, hurriedly walked out, took the woman's hand cordially, and couldn't help but feel a little sad when she saw the large and small wounds on her hand because of her perennial work.
When Lu Mei's mother saw Lin Xia, her eyes turned red. Lin Xia's well-behaved appearance always reminded her of Lu Mei.
"Auntie, there's something I've always wanted to ask you. When we came in, we found that many of the children had mutilated fingers, what was going on? So cute children, is there any physical disease? Can I help the kids take a look? β
The woman was stunned, her face a little panicked, and she didn't know how to speak. But looking at Lin Xia's concerned expression, he couldn't help but feel a little unbearable. Looking outside the door, Lu Zhenmin hadn't come back yet, and whispered to Lin Xia: "It's not a disease... It's a curse. β
Lin Xia looked at the cautious woman in surprise, turned around and gave Shen Yu a look, Shen Yu got up and naturally stood at the door, blocking the view from the outside.
"Auntie, what the hell is going on? Those kids are so young..."
"Ahh There is a curse in our stockade. All newborn children are chubby and cute. But the older you get, the bigger you get. Some people are less than ten years old, and they begin to have a puffy body and fat, and then their fingers will turn black, and if this blackening spreads to the heart, the person will die. β
"So... Do you want to chop off your fingers when you see them black? β
Lin Xia was a little incredulous, she thought of Lu Mei's fingers. At that time, she thought that Lu Mei's finger was related to a folk ritual she had heard of, but she didn't want this to be the case.
"At first, no one thought of this method, it was discovered by Lao Li in the village. At that time, he saw that his son was getting fatter and fatter, and his fingers were getting darker and darker, and he was worried about drinking every day. Once I drank too much, somehow, I directly chopped off the child's fingers. The child almost lost his breath from the pain, but the swelling on his body was much better the next day.
After a few more days, his son's physical condition was getting better and better, and he also lost weight back to his normal size. The people in the stockade believed in this method and chopped off the child's blackened fingers. Therefore, the children in the village are basically missing fingers. β
Lin Xia couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart, is there still a curse in this world? And listening to the woman's description, it was not so much a curse as a genetic inheritance of some virus, or something poisonous in the people in the stockade, which was transmitted to the child's body through the bloodstream.
"When did this curse begin?"
Shen Yu suddenly asked, and Lin Xia had a flash of inspiration and understood what Shen Yu meant. The woman thought for a moment and said thoughtfully, "Probably more than ten years ago, right?" At that time, Meizi hadn't left yet, and suddenly became fat when she was a teenager, and then she lost weight in this way. β
