Chapter 9: Lieberthal in the Dark
Huang Zheng had no choice but to change the topic again and said: "Auntie, my father said that there is a river demon in the river in August, and I am worried that the river demon has hooked my soul, what is the matter with the river demon?" β
Li's face changed, he looked left and right, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "Zheng'er, don't ask about the river demon in the future, that is, my aunt is close to you, so I told you." β
The August River, originally called the Suyue River, was plagued by locusts thirty years ago, and the emperor listened to the words of the Taoist priests and killed countless people who exterminated the locusts without permission, and the corpses were all thrown into the river.
The people were already green and yellow, and the locusts were condemned by the emperor, and several bandits took advantage of the situation to rise up and grow rapidly.
At this time, the emperor woke up like a dream, changed the killing of people to the extermination of locusts, and issued an edict of guilt, and the people who were sentenced to rebellion were calmer, but some people began to suffer from diseases like a woman who was pregnant, at first it was only an itchy rash on the body, and then the belly grew bigger and bigger, until eight months later, when he was about to give birth, he bled to death.
Huang Zheng was stunned, and finally knew why Huang Tianba looked at Huang Zheng with a sad face, and Huang Zheng was afraid that he drank the water of the August River, it turned out that the illness was really related to the river water, and the villagers of the entire Zhuxiang Village had to walk the mountain road for half an hour to eat the clear spring river water on the mountain.
Huang Zheng didn't expect to face such a big danger when he crossed over, and his eyes couldn't help but be horrified.
Seeing that Huang Zheng was a little afraid, Li continued with satisfaction: "The nobles found a Taoist priest to do it, saying that the locust was the son of the river demon, and the prince succeeded to the throne and killed and poked heavily, which angered the river demon, so he was looking for a child, when someone survived eight months and successfully gave birth to the baby of the river demon, when will this disaster be solved." β
It is naturally nonsense to anger the river demon and help the river demon have children, behind this is a conspiracy and a coup d'Γ©tat, and it is not something that the ordinary people can know.
Li Shi's eyes rolled, took Huang Zheng's hand, and said with a sad face: "Zheng'er, you also fell into the river, what if this happens...... Becoming a family can be regarded as having a home, isn't it ......"
turned around, and it turned back to Huang Zheng and Lieberthal's family affair.
Since you know that you have also fallen into the August River, why do you still ask to marry yourself?
Huang Zheng is self-aware, his current self is about 1.7 meters tall in modern times, his body is very strong, his face is dark, and he doesn't look like a mesmerizing fetus.
The family affair is naturally indisputable, but it is Huang Gong's illness, and whether he has the disease or not, is imminent.
Li Shi saw Huang Zheng's stunned face, and he mentioned Li Kan many times, but Huang Zheng just didn't make up for it, and felt bored, so he returned home.
The Li family and the Huang family are only separated by a courtyard wall, and the courtyard walls are all low walls of yellow mud, and the Li family can step over as soon as he raises his legs.
At this time, Li Kan was packing up the fishing nets in his yard, and when he saw Li coming back, he smiled at Li and whispered something, Li glanced at Li Kan with disgust, and went back to the room.
Huang Zheng looked at Li Kan quietly, Li Kan raised his eyes to look at Huang Zheng, glanced at Huang Zheng's clothes again, his eyes flickered, and then he lowered his head and continued to pick up the remnants of aquatic plants hanging on the net.
Li Kan is a typical rural boy, medium stature, muscular, looking at himself is deep and quiet, people can't see what emotions are, although I can't guess what Li Kan means, but Huang Zheng can be sure that among all kinds of emotions, there is no such thing as love.
Compared with stones, Huang Zheng felt that stones were simpler and easier to touch.
Especially this Li family, a picture of asking for marriage, which made him quite disgusted.
