Liu Shengsheng nodded, "You three are waiting here, let's go and go back."

After saying that, they left hand in hand.

Bai Quan, who was pushed away, looked depressed, "No, this king ......."

"Little prince, try to be as quiet as possible, after all, this strange place is afraid that the wall has ears." Xiao Jiang reminded softly.

Bai Quan sighed, "This king doesn't want to go yet!"

「……」

When Liu Shengsheng and Nan Muze walked to the well, they happened to see Lai Yi sitting in the pavilion next to him in a daze.

Since the well was not far from the pavilion, Laiyi also saw them, "Why didn't you two go to rest? I should be tired after a long day's journey."

Liu Shengsheng smiled, "I found that your well is very good, much larger than ordinary wells, we don't have such a big well there, so I was curious, so I came here to take a look."

Laiyi got up and walked over to them, "Everything in our clan is the best, and so is the well, if I have the chance, I can take the girl to see something else, fresher."

Liu Shengsheng said thank you, and then brought a bucket of water with Nan Muze.

Lai Yi thought they were surprised, and didn't think much about it, but said slowly, "It's already dark, you shouldn't have eaten yet, right?" Why don't I cook something delicious and bring it over?" qs

After Liu Shengsheng observed the well water for a while, he looked at Lai Yi with a smile, "No, we are not hungry, we have eaten too much dry food on the way here, and our stomachs are still supporting."

"That's ......."

Liu Shengsheng nodded, "Your well is so big, do all the people of the clan come here to drink water?"

Now it was Laiyi's turn to smile, "What did the girl say? Our Lin clan is very big, and almost every household has a small well, but now the plague is rampant, and many of the people in the clan live together in order to take care of each other, so there are only a dozen wells in use in total......

After a pause, she added, "But there are also a few families who like to go to the mountains to fetch water, saying that the mountain spring water is sweeter."

Hearing this, Liu Shengsheng's heart understood a general idea.

She walked slowly to the pavilion, sat down on the stone bench in the pavilion, and said, "I heard you mention any curse or retribution, what did you mean by that?"

Laiyi looked left and right, and saw that there was no one, so he sat down next to her and said, "I don't believe it that much, but the big guys all say that this plague is a curse of the gods and a retribution from the dragon king, who knows if it's true or false."

"Gods? Dragon King? I don't understand what you're saying."

Seeing Liu Shengsheng's curious face, Lai Yi sighed, "The Dragon King is the god that our Lin clan believes in, for decades, we have had good weather here, and there has never been a catastrophe, everyone says that the Dragon King is blessing us, so in the past few decades, we have given the Dragon King very precious gifts."

"It's just that a young man suddenly appeared a few years ago, and he quietly took away those generous gifts for the dragon king, and when the clansmen found out, they were furious, thinking that he had destroyed the feng shui of our Lin clan, that he did not abide by our customs, and that he despised the gods, and after causing public anger, he was beaten to death on the seashore......

Speaking of this, Lai Yi lowered his head.

"That sea is not far from us, and through the forest in the back mountains, we can reach the sea, but now few people pass by, and only when they give gifts, people will pass by."

"What kind of generous gift can provoke the anger of the whole clan and beat people to death?" Liu Shengsheng asked.

Lai Yi was silent for a long time, and said: "Some bad customs, don't mention it, anyway, after the death of the young man, our Lin clan has not been peaceful, and it didn't take long for the plague to appear, and the whole clan thought that this was the dragon king's punishment for everyone, because the young man robbed the dragon king of the gift, so the dragon king repaid the plague for everyone."

After a pause, she said, "After this incident, everyone did not dare to go out, and the business they did gradually decreased, and of course, no one dared to say anything about the plague that started from us, for fear that if it spread, people from other places would come to take revenge on us......

As he was talking, a cough suddenly came from not far away

sounds.

Lai Yi was startled, and quickly got up and walked over.

"Patriarch, why did you come out?"

Patriarch Lin said with a displeased face, "What are you talking about?"

"It's nothing, just ask them if they're hungry."

Patriarch Lin sighed, "I've already asked people to cook a meal, let a few of them eat a little together."

With that, he turned and walked back to the hall.

Laiyi looked back at them cautiously.

Liu Shengsheng said, "The troublesome girl told Patriarch Lin that we had all eaten, and I was really sorry to disturb you."

Lai Yi nodded, and also followed Patriarch Lin back to the hall.

Wait until the surroundings are quiet. Nan Mu Zecai took Liu Shengsheng's hand and said, "Xu is revenge."

Liu Shengsheng was silent, "I also think that it is possible that the young man did not die at all, and then secretly poisoned the well?"

Nan Mu Ze nodded, "It's possible, but it's also possible that someone next to that man is poisoning."

"It's unlikely that we'll guess so easily, I think that patriarch is weird, why don't you just tell them it's not a plague?"

Nan Mu Ze said, "You might as well go directly to the well."

Liu Shengsheng's eyes rolled, "This is okay."

After a pause, she added, "But what if you don't find out the person who poisoned him, and after the poison is resolved, he will continue to poison?"

As they spoke, the two of them had already walked back to the backyard.

Yizhou leaned against the door of a room, clutching his stomach pitifully, "Girl, I'm so hungry, haven't they cooked yet?"

Liu Shengsheng said helplessly: "You can't eat it even if you cook it, the well water here is poisonous, and according to my guess, every well in the clan is estimated to be poisonous."

Hearing this, Yizhou's eyes widened suddenly.

Bai Quan frowned even more, "Who is so vicious? Poisoned in every well? This is an attempt to exterminate the race!"

Xiao Jiang said: "If every well is really poisoned, then this Lin clan should be blocked, and then arrest everyone and ask them one by one."

Nan Muze didn't say much, but Liu Shengsheng said seriously, "I'm not sure if every well is poisonous, so this requires you to go out together."

Yizhou blinked, "What does the girl mean?"

"Let's all check every well in our clan." Bai Quan said irritably.

Liu Shengsheng nodded, "You fetch a little water from each well back to me, and I will be able to know if every well is poisonous after I check it."

Yi Zhou nodded, and walked out directly with Xiao Jiang.

Bai Quan looked at Liu Shengsheng uncomfortably and said, "This king doesn't want to fetch water, if you want this king to make a move, you have to go with this king, this king can take you with light skills, and if you take you, you can directly know whether the well water is poisonous or not."

As he spoke, he explained, "Don't get me wrong, this king is just too lazy to fetch water to come back, and he doesn't want to take you with him."
