All three looked at him for no apparent reason.

Jin Jiaojiao poked him on the back and reminded, "What are you doing!"

"Distracted, distracted." Zhao Bingyu came back to his senses and scratched the back of his head, like a second fool.

Li Qian waved his hand: You don't have to be so polite, Ling Zheng's leg injury still needs to be taken care of, you have a good rest tonight, and you don't have to rush out of the valley.

Jin Jiaojiao and Zhao Bingyu couldn't read sign language, so they all relied on Li Yiyao's interpretation.

Zhao Bingyu said, "Then it's going to be bothersome tonight."

After Li Qi gave a few words to Li Yiyao, he turned around and went to the back kitchen to decoct the medicine.

So Li Yiyao took the two of them to the empty room in the east.

It is set aside for patients who need treatment and care at night to rest, and the people of Jufang Village are very close to here, so this kind of special situation does not happen very often.

Li Qi is a big man with a half-old child, and there are naturally many omissions in life, and the house is full of dust, and it seems that no one has lived in it for a long time, and they have forgotten to clean up and clean it.

Li Yiyao entered the house and lit the oil lamp, the room could not be inhabited without tidying up, Zhao Bingyu exited the room and put Jin Jiaojiao on the rattan chair at the door, and began to clean the house.

While working, he didn't forget to tease Jin Jiaojiao, "My eldest lady, I'm afraid I've never lived in such a house in my life, so I have to wronged you tonight."

"I've lived."

Looking at the simple thatched house, Jin Jiaojiao's eyes were deep, and her thoughts were pulled back to many years ago......

The rain struck people's faces through the dilapidated roofs, and the entrainment was like ice knives in winter; Rusty doors, windows, and iron rings, which no one repaired, creaked in the cold wind; The cries of children, the helplessness of adults, the lamentations of the elderly, and the death and despair on everyone's faces converge into a unique mournful tune of early spring.

At that time, she was almost as old as Li Yiyao, and everything recovered and spring became the season for her to do nasty......

"I've lived in worse than this." Jin Jiaojiao added.

Zhao Bingyu was holding the bed, choking on the ashes, and couldn't help sneezing, not hearing what she just said.

"Huh? What have you ever lived?"

Jin Jiaojiao returned to her thoughts, but said that it was nothing, let him quickly clean the room, rest by himself, and get up early tomorrow to hurry, so Zhao Bingyu stopped asking more questions and concentrated on business.

Li Yiyao, who was on the side, had nothing to do, and came up to talk to Jin Jiaojiao, "Big sister and big brother live in peace, my master said that my sister's current leg injury is not suitable for long journeys, and she needs to take care of it, otherwise it will be easy to leave sequelae."

Jin Jiaojiao remembered the blind woman's warning to them, and said, "Thank you and your master for your kindness, but since that blind aunt is so unkind to us, let's leave early tomorrow morning, so as not to cause trouble to you."

"No, no, no." Li Yiyao defended: "Aunt Blind didn't wait to see you. It's true! She is very nice, and she always thinks of me and my master when she has any delicious and fun things, and she will make us new clothes during the New Year's holidays."

The milky yellow coat he was wearing was the new clothes made for him by his blind aunt, and children were always happy to show off their beloved things to others.

The stitches are delicate, and the auspicious cloud pattern embroidered on the collar and sleeves is chic, and it is completely impossible to see that this is from the hand of a blind man.

"It's beautiful, it's perfect for you."

In addition to the slightly coarser fabrics used, the embroiderers were even slightly better than those in the Jin family's ready-to-wear shop.

Li Yiyao smiled and said shyly, "Thank you, sister."

Then the young man sighed: "There is a plague in the village, Brother Sheng is also sick, and no one has gone into the mountains with me for a long time to catch rabbits and go down to the river to wipe crabs."

"Plague!"

These two words were like arsenic/frosted red iron, piercing her flesh and blood, and some painful memories suddenly came back to life and choked her throat, making her unable to breathe, Li Yiyao worriedly took her hand that was clenched into a fist and asked, "

Sister, are you okay, is the wound hurting again?" jj.br>

Jin Jiaojiao's chest concussed, and she took two deep breaths of fresh air before calming down.

"Sister is fine, don't worry. Can you tell my sister more about the plague in the village? Why did the plague happen, and how long has it lasted?"

Li Yiyao said: "It started about two years ago, and when the epidemic started, the master locked me in the house and didn't allow me to contact outsiders, so what exactly happened."

His little face was embarrassed, very confused and sad, "I don't know, many people have died in the past two years, first the elderly, then adults and children."

"It wasn't until May this year that the epidemic was brought under control, and the master prepared a prescription to prevent the epidemic from spreading, but it still couldn't save those who were already infected, and the blind aunt drove you away because she was afraid of affecting you."

No wonder there are so many new graves in the forest.

The blind aunt's husband, father-in-law, eldest son and second son all died of the plague, and now only the mother-in-law Cao and the youngest son Sheng Ge'er are left in the family.

Li Yiyao continued to say sadly: "When my master and I first came, Jufang Village was still very lively, and there were many people who came to Forget Worry Valley to see butterflies every year, and sometimes they came down late, and the enthusiastic villagers would take the initiative to invite them to stay at their homes.

There was hope in his eyes, "Sister, can you tell me about the Mask Temple Fair in Yuzhou City? Isn't it fun, I always hear people mention it, I have never been there, the master said that when the people in the village are better, they will take me outside, I really hope everyone can get better soon."

"It's going to be fine." Zhao Bingyu, who was cleaning up the room, appeared behind the two of them at some point, he touched Li Yiyao's head and squatted in front of him, and said gently: "It's going to be okay, everyone will get better soon, and when the time comes, my brother will personally take you to Yuzhou City and buy you a lot of cute masks?"

"Really? Thank you, brother." Li Yiyao happily jumped up and hugged Zhao Bingyu's neck, "Then can I bring Brother Sheng with me then?"

"Of course you can, but you tell my brother first, did the Nanmu Miasma Forest exist before?"

Li Yiyao looked puzzled, "What miasma forest? She knew about Nan Mu Lin, and she had gone to pick herbs with her master before, but she didn't see the miasma."

How could you not have seen such a big miasma?

"But Yaya hasn't been to Nanmu Forest for more than a year."

That is to say, the miasma in the forest has only existed in the past year, and Jin Jiaojiao has a guess in her mind that there may be some kind of connection between the bizarre plague in this village and the strange miasma in Nanmu Lin.

There is no rooster crowing, no dog barking, and the nearby Jufang Village is quiet, without the slightest bit of fireworks that an ordinary village should have.

Li Yiyao suddenly leaned mysteriously to the side of Jin Jiaojiao and Zhao Bingyu's ears, and whispered, "Brother Sheng'er's grandmother said that Jufang Village was cursed by the gods, so the gods sent down punishments."

At this time, the physician Li Qi walked out of another room with a steaming medicine bowl, and Li Yiyao saw it and immediately stopped.
