Chapter 167: Evil Spirits
Ning Qingxi couldn't help but shudder, and horror flashed in his eyes.
Is this the cannibalism recorded in the history books?
Just looking at these three words is already terrifying, but at this moment, it is really happening around them, in the Taixi County where she once became.
She couldn't help but look at the group of people in the distance, so how many of these people who survived survived by eating human flesh?
As soon as he thought of those three words, Ning Qingxi couldn't help but feel a surge in his stomach, and hurriedly ran to the tree in the distance to retch.
After a while, Wang Xiujuan walked over, originally wanting to comfort her granddaughter, but seeing the other party vomiting over there, she couldn't help but want to vomit too.
Ning Changrong had also experienced a lot of fighting scenes before, but at this moment, he was also a little disgusting, he glanced at Shopkeeper Lin, but he still couldn't help but walk over, wanting to ask the doubts in his heart.
"Shopkeeper Lin, what did you eat to survive in the city before?" His eyes were very complicated, staring at the other party tightly, for fear of missing a trace of information.
Shopkeeper Lin smiled bitterly, he knew what Ning Changrong meant by asking.
"Fortunately, I opened an inn, the grain on the surface was robbed, and there were still some rotten vegetable leaves in the cellar that no one wanted.
The rotten leaves emitted a foul smell, and even the swill on weekdays smelled better than it, but there was no way, they couldn't go out, and there was nowhere to buy food, and his family, old and young, were all old and young, and if they went out to buy food, maybe it would become food for other people.
He originally had a son and daughter-in-law, but in order to protect them, they were gone.
Ning Changrong was silent for a while, and then apologized: "I'm sorry Shopkeeper Lin, I didn't mean to offend. ”
He looked at the old wife of the shopkeeper Lin and several of his grandsons, whose eyes were numb.
When Shopkeeper Lin told the story, there was not the slightest reaction, as if these things had nothing to do with them.
He sighed deeply.
Shopkeeper Lin smiled bitterly, "It's all over, but I have a request, I don't know if you can agree." ”
He was an old man with an old wife and a few little grandsons, and it was because everyone was afraid of running into Hu Dadao that they involuntarily assembled into a team.
But right now, the eyes of these people looking at them eating food are green, if they are separated from Ning Changrong and them, how long his grandchildren can live, it is difficult to say.
He looked at Ning Changrong and their normal faces and seemed to be strong, and guessed that they should be doing well, so when the other party asked them how they had lived until now, he carefully explained all their things.
It was also to let Ning Changrong dispel his concerns.
But what he said is indeed the truth, even if they want to eat, let them be old and young, who can they kill?
Ning Changrong looked at the pleading in Shopkeeper Lin's eyes, and probably guessed what the other party wanted to say, so he nodded.
"Shopkeeper Lin, if there is anything you can tell me first, if you can do it, I will definitely try my best to help."
Shopkeeper Lin glanced at his three grandsons and his old wife, his eyes were full of pleading, "Changrong, can we join you?" I'm old, but I still have some strength, as long as you can give us a bite to eat. ”
Ning Changrong didn't think about it and nodded directly.
"Yes."
Shopkeeper Lin wanted to beg for something again, but suddenly his eyes were stunned, and after reacting, he asked, "Changrong, what did you just say?" Do you mean you can let us come with you? ”
Ning Changrong smiled slightly: "Shopkeeper Lin, you heard it right, I am willing to let you join, but if you join, you have to abide by our rules." ”
The corners of Shopkeeper Lin's eyes were red when he was moved, and he couldn't help but burst into tears, "Evergreen...... Don't worry, we'll keep your rules! ”
Hearing the cry of the shopkeeper Lin, Mrs. Lin, who had lost her son and daughter-in-law, came back to her senses and cried.
Crying is contagious, and after a while the others also remembered their days in the past few months, and everyone began to cry.
After Wang Xiujuan heard that Ning Changrong was ready to let Shopkeeper Lin and them join her team, she did not object, "That's how it should be, they are old and young now, if they continue to follow this group, I don't know what the fate will be." Anyway, we also owe a big favor to others at the beginning, and now we are not short of food. ”
Ning Qingxi stood aside, "Shopkeeper Lin is literate, and he can also ask him to help teach others to read and write." ”
"That's okay, when our city is almost built, let those children know how to read."
Their family knows the importance of literacy best, and after the construction of this city, the population will definitely increase, and they can't just rely on their family to manage, they have to train a few subordinates, but they can't rest assured, they can only choose from these people.
Those who know how to read only identify the Ning family, and even those in Ning Village only know a few words.
But they have something to do as a family, so how can they have time to ask others to read?
Ning Changrong paused and said, "I don't need it now, but I can also let them do what they can, and they will always be able to support themselves." ”
They are short of people, but they are also short of others.
He has long known the character of Shopkeeper Lin, and he can also contribute by joining them.
Wang Xiujuan was about to go to see Shopkeeper Lin, her eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, her steps were a little stiff, and then immediately returned to normal.
casually went to shopkeeper Lin and said a few words, and then found Ning Changrong non-stop.
"Not good Evergreen! I found Hu Dadao! ”
Wang Xiujuan pulled Ning Changrong to the side and whispered.
Ning Changrong's pupils shrank, and he was about to look back and freeze, and asked softly, "Where is it?" ”
Wang Xiujuan also talked as if she was talking normally, "At nine o'clock behind you, the man who was wearing a cloak and injured his left arm was sitting alone in the canopy. ”
Ning Changrong secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the other party was injured.
"Mother, don't care, pretend that nothing happened, and continue to do your thing."
Wang Xiujuan didn't have anything to do, she was in charge of stop-and-go staring around here.
After Ning Changrong left, he quietly called Ning Da Niu Ning Er, and after telling the two of them about the situation, the three of them quietly approached the one-man tent.
"Don't move!"
Ning Da Niu seized the opportunity and rushed forward with an arrow, the huge machete was on Hu Dadao's neck, and the other people around were shocked by this sudden scene, and they didn't know how to react.
After reacting, he got out of the canopy and hid far away.
"Brother, what does that mean?" Hu Dadao was held to his neck by a long knife, and two people next to him were holding a small arrow aimed at his head and chest, and he raised his hands and did not dare to move.
"Hu Dadao, right? Brother like you, we don't dare to be it. ”
When the others heard the three words Hu Dadao, they were shocked, and the name of Hu Dadao was already synonymous with evil ghosts in Taixi County.
