After leaving Guining Town, it didn't take long for Chi Jing to strangle the horse rope again.

It turned out that there were three old gentlemen with white sideburns standing in the middle of the road, and although they were wearing coarse linen clothes, they also looked a little tough. A closer look reveals that the three of them all look exactly the same, and not only that, but the eyes of all three are equally blank - she was blocked by three blind compatriots.

In the past, the road to the capital was unimpeded, why is it so unsmooth this time?

"Three old gentlemen, please give way." Chi Jing raised his voice, but he didn't expect that the three blind men shook their heads in unison.

So, is there a deliberate way to get in the way? She was displeased, and sighed: "What do you want, and who are you instructed by?" ”

The three blind men shook their heads again. The old gentleman in the middle, who looked calmer than the other two, said, "This girl, we don't mean to make things difficult. Girl, just go with me, and I won't hurt her. ”

Don't you rob money and lust? Is it possible that the three blind men can still see her face under the veil? Chi Jing raised his eyebrows and said, "What if I don't want to?" ”

"If the girl is unwilling, the old man will kill himself on the spot!" The blind man on the right said that he had a knife around his neck at some point.

"That's up to you." She said coldly, she didn't like to be threatened with her life.

"Please forgive me, girl." The blind man on the left noticed the unkindness in her tone and said with shame.

"Let's hear first, why do you want me to go with you?" Chi Jingdao, she has to figure out first, who is she provoking whom?

"It's true, and we don't know why." The blind man in the middle smiled bitterly, and his face actually showed a little confusion.

...

The next town in Guining Town is called Guiyuan Town, and these three old gentlemen were originally triplets from a family in Guiyuan Town's next village called Box.

The village is also called the village of the blind, because for some reason in recent years, more and more villagers have lost their sight for no reason, and even the children born are also blind, and the village has become a village of the blind.

At first, I thought that there was a problem with the water source in the village, and the villagers did not dare to drink the village water, so they did not bother to draw water from the wells of the neighboring villages, but the number of blind villagers only increased. Later, I thought that there was a problem with the rice I ate, and the family stopped farming and bought rice from the neighboring village to eat, but it still did not help.

Then he suspected wheat, clothing, livestock, and of course, it was possible that the lonely ghosts were haunting, and invited the mage to do the ritual for seven days and seven nights...

The solutions that should be thought of have been figured out, and those who shouldn't be blind are still blind one after another.

I don't know where the root causes are.

However, since half a month ago, the three old gentlemen began to have the same dream every day in a row, and this dream was so simple that people couldn't figure it out at all. There is only one road in the dream, and at the front of the road, a veiled woman gallops on an old horse...

The old gentlemen were puzzled by the meaning of this dream, but they did not dare to despise it, and had no choice but to inform the village chief.

The village chief, who was over half a hundred years old, listened to their descriptions, half-squinted his eyes that were about to see people clearly, stared at these three respected old gentlemen for a long time, and seemed to have finally seen a glimmer of light in his lifetime.

According to the description of the three old gentlemen, and then instructed the villagers who were not blind in the village to find the road that appeared in the dream, and everyone quickly locked on the target - it was the official road to the direction of the capital.

Because only three old gentlemen dreamed of this girl, the village chief did not let the whole village go out, so as not to be self-defeating, but scared the girl away. So the three old gentlemen had to take a villager who could see things, and waited by the roadside every day until she appeared.

"Remember, even if we die, we will keep this girl!"

...

"So, you're here today and stop me, but no one knows why you're stopping me?" Chi Jing wanted to squeeze out a helpless smile, but she thought that no matter whether she was laughing or crying, the other party couldn't see it, so she had to give up.

"Please forgive me, girl." The blind man in the middle said.

That's it.

"Lead the way." Chi Jing said briskly, and as soon as she finished speaking, she saw a person flash out from behind a tree on the side of the road, and the person respectfully waved at her, didn't say anything, and took the three old gentlemen to walk with her to another fork in the road.

Of course, she also wanted to know why she was remembered by the whole village for no reason.

This village is the same as the others, except that there are indeed more blind people, but there is not much difference. The wild crane walked slowly, and Chi Jing did not dismount, and looked carefully at this village that looked a little depressed but everything was in order.

It's just that there are really a lot of people who can find their way with a cane.

What is it that causes the whole village to lose their sight one after another? If, as they say, it's not a food problem, it's not a water quality problem, then what is cursing this village?

All this is incredible.

…

"His father, how could the baby's illness suddenly recur?"

While Chi Jing was meditating, a pair of anxious parents hurriedly passed by the two of them while talking. The mother was carrying a three-year-old child in her arms, wrapped in a black cloth all over her body, and even her fingers were tightly wrapped, revealing only a pair of ignorant eyes.

The child's father said, "What has the child eaten these days that he shouldn't eat?" ”

The child's mother said, "This... I didn't eat anything, but yesterday night my uncle brought me a few pieces of hair cake..."

"Ahh The child's father screamed when he heard this. "Damn, why are you so confused, didn't the doctor say that you can't eat any hair?"

"I, I—" The child's mother turned red with anxiety when she heard this, and she didn't know how to refute it for a while.

As a mother, how can you not remember your son's dietary taboos? After the doctor's explanation, she didn't dare to forget a word. It's just that she just thinks that her son's illness has been cured, and she can't compete with her son's longing eyes, thinking that it shouldn't matter if she eats a small piece, that's why...

She was the one who killed her own child!

As a husband, seeing his wife's expression, can he still guess what his wife has done?

The child's father sighed lightly, and couldn't bear to blame it anymore: "Pay attention in the future, fortunately, there are a lot of thorn flowers behind the village, let's continue to cut some and come back to bathe the baby, it's okay, don't cry." ”

After that, the man said something in detail, and the couple walked away with the child in their arms.

"Thorn Flower?" What kind of flower is this? Chi Jing muttered with some curiosity.

The villager who led the way had sharp ears, turned around when he heard this, smiled kindly, and explained: "Occasionally, some children in our village have itchy skin, and if the doctor's ointment does not work, the doctor will advise them to bathe in water boiled from the thorn flowers, which can relieve the itching." ”

"Oh." Chi Jing replied clearly, and said, "I really want to see what this thorn flower looks like." ”

The villager scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "It's better not to go, girl." ”
