Chapter 22: The Secret (1)

There were about sixty or seventy households in the village, and only one of them was at the entrance to the east, and the rest were surrounded by earthen walls, but after all, it was only half a person high, and older children could easily climb over it. Outside the fence on the south side of the Pen, Fun and Pavilion www.biquge.info is a few acres of land. In the center of the village are two warehouses that store the resources of the whole village, such as grain, meat, vegetables, salt, stones, firewood, and some animal manure as fuel, which are distributed on a regular basis. The village's technology was not enough to make locks and keys, so the warehouses were guarded by people on a rotational basis. There are three wells in the village, one next to the warehouse to prevent fire, one in the middle of the south for farming and irrigation, and one in the north. Other than that, there is nothing worth mentioning about this village.

The vacant houses are in the northwest corner of the village, people always have to live, grow old, sick and die, and the number of people in the village cannot remain the same, the population has been large in recent years, and there are more than 20 vacant houses in the village when the people are the least.

"Well, here it is. Si Heng led Mo Wunian and Meng Qianwu to a row of empty courtyards and spread their hands, "How do you live?"

Mo Wunian looked at Meng Qianwu, of course it was safest to live together if she was unfamiliar with life, but she was a girl after all, and it was a bit of a ...... to live in the same house with two men

"Uh...... I'm still with ......" Meng Qianwu is also a little entangled.

"If you're so embarrassed, let's live in one by yourself, I don't think Village Chief Shi has any malicious intent, and it shouldn't be bad for us. Si Heng said.

"How?" asked Mo Wunian.

"Whew-okay, I'd better live by myself, it's not like I haven't been alone, and Xiaoya is also by my side. Meng Qianwu smiled and glanced at the beetle called Little Tooth on her shoulder. Little Fang also moved his wings in cooperation, and his small black eyes were bright.

"Well, give it, food and water, let's be careful, don't go to the village to fetch water, anyway, I have more here. Mo Wunian took out some dry food and water bladders out of thin air and handed them to Meng Qianwu, "I just live next door, just call me if you have something." ”

"Oh, great rich man, I should have robbed you while I was in the mountains. Si Heng pretended to be unwilling.

"Then you'd be dead a long time ago. Meng Qianwu rolled her eyes, knowing that he was joking, took the food and water, nodded at the two, and turned around and walked into the courtyard.

"Brother Mo...... Then we ......"

"You're coming with me?"

Si Heng heard that Mo Wunian's tone seemed to be a little reluctant, and he couldn't help but be stunned: "What's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing, it's just a habit of being alone. Mo Wunian seemed to be thinking about something, "Forget it, let's live here together, be safe." ”

Pushing open the courtyard gate, a fragile piece of haphazard straw, a cloud of dust rose on the ground, and it seemed that it had been uninhabited for a long time. The house has no door, only a straw curtain to cover it. The autumn and winter of the wasteland were already cold, and this stone house could not protect against the cold, so a cold air rushed up when I walked into the house. A few holes had been dug into the wall to count as windows, and the room was bright, and the air was not cloudy, but it was also full of dust. The furnishings are very simple, there is a stone table in the door, there are three mud mounds that are considered stools, two adjacent rooms, one is a small kitchen, the other is a bedroom, the bedroom is also very simple, two stone beds, on which are laid with straw mats, it looks quite thick, it will not be too hard and too cold to sleep, a stone table, on which there is an oil lamp that has run out of oil. There are some tools in the corner, hoes, pitchforks, brooms, and I don't need them anyway.

"The house is surrounded by walls. Si Heng sighed, and sat down at once, ignoring the dust on the bedβ€”after all, he had been sleeping in the wilderness for so many days, and he didn't know what dirty his body had become. He looked at Mo Wunian, who was looking at the room, and his expression became serious, "Brother Mo, that village chief has something to hide from us. ”

"Hmm. Mo Wunian didn't take it to heart, "You also said that he didn't have malicious intentions, wouldn't it be good?"

"But I think this time he is afraid that there is something unspeakable, and he wants us to leave early several times, just like ...... We're in big trouble if we stay here. Si Heng pondered it carefully and said how he felt, "It's the same with the people in the village, something may have happened here." ”

"Oh?" Mo Wunian raised an eyebrow, "But so what?"

"He reluctantly agreed to stay for three days...... What could happen in three days. Brother Mo, I have a good impression of this village, can we pretend to leave when the time comes, see what is going on in this village, and help them if we can. ”

"I'm going to help myself. "Mo Wunian didn't want to do much.

β€œ...... You're a little kind, okay? Si Heng couldn't help but be a little annoyed when he saw Mo Wunian's refusal so simply.

"There are so many troublesome people in the world, where can they help? Mo Wunian was unmoved, "Giving them so much salt is already repaying them and helping them a lot." ”

"......" Si Heng was silent. He owes Mo Wunian along the way, it's not good to ask him for anything, and it's also his selfishness to want to help this village, but Mo Wunian doesn't agree, and he has no ability to help.

On the other side, the village chief's house.

Chief Ishimura returned to the house with a heavy heart, and he didn't know where to put the package in his hand.

"Daddy, what's the matter? What is this?" asked a young man in his twenties, who was not very old, but as strong as his father. They were eating when they came just now, and after a while, the young man had already eaten.

Village Chief Shi shook his head and didn't answer his question: "Ah Liang, you go out first, I have something to say to your mother." ”

"Oh......" Ah Liang agreed unhappily, but because of the usual authority of the village chief, he still ran out obediently, he didn't want to be beaten.

"What's so mysterious, even my son doesn't let me know. A middle-aged woman at the dinner table got up and asked strangely.

"Look...... Ishimura sighed and put the burden on the table.

"This, this is!"

"Yes, those people from other villages sent me, hoping to borrow it for a few days. Chief Ishimura smiled bitterly and explained what had happened.

The woman was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses: "This, this can't be." Leave them behind, and if you run into that bastard, you can't detain them......? And that girl, I glimpsed it from the window, she looked so smart, I was afraid of ......."

"He went out, and he won't come back in five days, so he shouldn't have met him. Chief Ishimura was worried, "I didn't dare to reveal the matter of the master, his methods ......"

"Alas, by the way, that boy is the one who followed Mr. Luo a few years ago, right? Mr. Luo is kind to our village......

β€œ......”

"If you want me to say, hey, you better remind them to leave early. A day or two of rest is enough, and tomorrow, let them go!" the woman said worriedly.

"But after all, I took their things, so I can't drive people away for some reason, this salt, our village needs it." "Chief Shi was not an indecisive person in the first place, and he was also embarrassed at this time.

"Well, it's up to you to call the shots. Think about it. We can't implicate those kids for ourselves. The woman finally persuaded her.

Besides, Meng Qianwu, such a simple house, coupled with the accumulation of dust, made her frown again and again. Dancing lightly with his hands, Meng Qianwu directly used the Youzhu Jue. The aura of the bamboo can flexibly control the flow of water droplets to clean wounds, but now it is used to clean the room. However, it is also with this hand, Meng Qianwu will clean his body and clothes a little every day, and he will be dusty for several days in a row, but his body is still clean.

"Phewβ€”it's kind of a place to live. After cleaning up carefully, Meng Qianwu threw her package on the bed, and the person also fell on the bed. She just stared at the roof with her eyes open, and when her tense nerves were suddenly able to relax, she suddenly became confused, feeling lonely inexplicably, and she didn't know what else she would encounter on the road ahead.

Father......

There are also brothers and sisters in the same family......

Why...... When...... That's it......

"Qianwu?" Suddenly, there was a voice from outside the door.

"Ah, what's the matter, come in. Interrupted by the voice, Meng Qianwu immediately retracted her mind and got up, anyway, now that there are two partners together, there are people to help if something happens, someone can discuss, and I feel a lot more relieved.

"Chimai, I want to help this village. "It was Si Heng who came first, and he told the matter straight to the point," ...... Therefore, only if you agree, Brother Mo can help, please!" After being coldly rejected just now, Si Heng suddenly thought of Meng Qianwu, now Meng Qianwu is Mo Wunian's "employer", if Meng Qianwu is willing to take care of this matter, Mo Wunian is really not easy to let go, so he .......

"Ah......?" Meng Qianwu has been a doctor since childhood, and the doctor is benevolent, and she heard that the village may be in trouble, so of course she wants to help, but Mo Wunian made it clear that she didn't want to do much, which made her embarrassed to say, so she had to look at Mo Wunian with embarrassment and expectation.

"......" Mo Wunian didn't answer.

"Brother Wu Nian, just help them. After struggling for a while, Meng Qianwu still spoke.

"Yes, yes, you see that even Qianwu said so!" Si Heng suddenly became energetic.

"......" Mo Wunian glared at Si Heng, who had a triumphant expression, and turned to Meng Qianwu, "This may cause a lot of trouble, are you sure you want to take care of this matter?"

"Hmm. I don't know if that's nosy, but if we have the ability, we can help. In the past, my father often said that studying medicine is used to save people, don't care about the return. With such ability comes such responsibility. Besides, if it weren't for the good relationship we made in the past, I would have died on the way to chase and kill by now. Meng Qianwu said something from the heart.

β€œ...... Good. Mo Wunian moved his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he only spit out one.

"Thank you. Meng Qianwu smiled gratefully.

"Thank you!" Si Heng put away his playful expression and said earnestly to Meng Qianwu and Mo Wunian.
