8. Ancient Villages (4)

The tingling sensation swept through the whole head, and the sleepiness glued the two eyelids together, and I couldn't open them. There has always been a voice in my heart saying: "Wake up, Wang Yuling, there are still patients waiting for you, you can't sleep."

The body could not move, as if someone was bound hands and feet, and at this moment, there seemed to be a slight light in the eyes, which was extinguished, and then some noisy voices poured into my mind.

"Patriarch, I haven't found out yet, how can you treat Yuling like this?" It seemed to be Wang Tang's voice, what the hell was he talking about, why didn't he understand it at all.

"Isn't it obvious?" it was the voice of Wang Gui, the son of the patriarch.

Suddenly a bell rang, it was the alarm bell that something big happened in the village, why did it suddenly ring again, it just rang yesterday, what happened again, is it the spread of the disease?

Wang Yuling finally woke up in the struggle, in front of him gathered the old and young of the village, before dawn, they all held torches in their hands, each looked solemn, and even had some resentment, she wanted to go forward, but found that she was tied to the shame pillar of the village.

Wang Yuling asked puzzledly, "What happened, why did you tie me up?"

Patriarch: "Wang Yuling, you disguised yourself as a man and offended the gods, and the gods brought a great disaster to our village, and you are deeply guilty. ”

"How do you know?" she felt a chill in her chest, and when she looked down, she didn't know who had torn her shirt, revealing her breasts, and she was so ashamed that she burst into tears, and roared, "How can you do this to me?"

The patriarch glared angrily: "Tonight God sent a warning to all families, you ask everyone, what happened to them?"

"My chickens and ducks died overnight without knowing why. ”

"All of a sudden, my door broke and fell, almost killing me. ”

"Dead rats suddenly appeared in my house. ”

"My family has bloody handprints......."

Patriarch: "Don't you think this is enough to prove the warning of heaven to our village, there must be evil in the village. ”

Wang Shulang: "Fortunately, when I was at your house, I accidentally found some women's products, only to find out that you were a woman, no wonder our village has been in trouble for the past 20 years, first it was unable to reproduce, and now it is a plague." ”

Wang Yuling roared angrily: "Although I don't know the reason for the inability to reproduce children, I know that the plague was caused by Wang Shulang beating his wife Qi Yun and forcing her to eat rats with plague, causing her to also catch it." And now I've developed a cure for the plague......."

Everyone looked at Wang Shulang together, Wang Shulang was a little at a loss all of a sudden, "What, I beat my daughter-in-law, that's because she doesn't work hard at housework, isn't this normal in our village, as for forcing her to eat rats raw, that's nothing, you must be holding a grudge against me for exposing that you are a woman." ”

Wang Yuling: "You go and ask Qi Yun if she ate a mouse?"

The patriarch turned his head to the two sons beside him and said, "Go and pick up Qi Yun." ”

Wang Yuling looked at the villagers in front of her, her heart was cold, no one stood up to say a word for her, when it comes to their own vital interests, people are always so selfish.

She knew that it was useless to say anything at this time, and she could only use facts to make the group of people in front of her see the truth, and Qi Yun became a little light in her heart.

After a while, Qi Yun was carried in front of everyone, she was lying on the cart, Wang Shulang was extremely nervous at this time, he stared at Qi Yun deadly, and he was afraid and angry in his heart. If you dare to say it, Qi Yun will not be able to spare you when you go back, but if Qi Yun says it, what should he do, he stared at how to deal with it later.

Patriarch: "Qi Yun, have you eaten dead mice?"

Wang Shulang's nerves collapsed tightly, and there was silence all around.

Wang Gui walked over and asked again, "Qi Yun, what do you say?" Still no response, Wang Gui took the torch from the villager's hand and shone it on her face, he was so frightened that he took a big step back, and said in a trembling voice: "The person is dead!"

Wang Shulang's tense nerves relaxed, and he suddenly ran forward, lying on his stomach a foot away from Qi Yun and crying, "Ah Yun, why did you leave like this........." He suddenly turned his head to Wang Yuling and said, "It must be you who killed my lady." ”

Someone among the villagers said: "We found Wang Yuling at Qi Yun's house, and it happened that there was a medicine bowl next to Qi Yun at that time. ”

Wang Shulang: "Wang Yuling, you are hanging a pot to help the world on the surface, but you are secretly so despicable. ”

Wang Yuling: "I, Wang Yuling, ask myself, I have never done anything that hurts heaven and reason, and I live with a clear conscience, what good do I do to you?"

Wang Shulang: "Because you are a woman!"

Wang Yuling: "What's wrong with the woman?"

Wang Shulang: "Because you are oppressed by men, you are dissatisfied, so you came up with this way to end up together." ”

Wang Yuling: "It turns out that you also know that it is unreasonable to oppress women, but you men ignore this unreasonable system for your own interests. Hahaha, it's ridiculous that you men, as well as us women, including me, were probably also enslaved by this damn system, and they didn't know how to resist from the beginning, and they deserved it. ”

The wind ruffled Wang Yuling's hair, blowing her cold all over her body, but she felt that she had not lived so comfortably and comfortably since she was a child.

The patriarch gestured a look to Wang Gui, and Wang Gui spoke: "This woman has offended the gods, according to the old rules, she will be executed!"

Wang Yuling laughed, several villagers with knives in their hands, came to her, at this moment they were all executioners, they cut off Wang Yuling's face inch by inch, hands and other sunlight to get the skin, blood flowed down the blade, dripping on their hands, warm.

Wang Yuling's screams tore through the ridiculous camouflage on everyone's faces, but it hit people's hard shells like pebbles falling to the ground, and it had no effect. She fainted several times in pain, and then woke up from the pain, she just wanted to go to hell at the moment, maybe it was better than the human world, at least there was no terrible human heart.

The men were expressionless, and the women bowed their heads in fear. Blood was dripping all over the ground, and she was more like a chicken at the moment, and the women were monkeys.

But fate did not favor her, and she survived this cruel punishment.

A few days later, the plague began to rage, and most of the people in the village fell ill, and Wang Yuling lay at home, not knowing who had carried him back, unable to move. It was as if God had given her a few more days to watch her victims die one after another.

The voices of neighbors in the village are becoming less and less, and the coughing sound is quite dense in the first few days, and the next few days are deadly and silent. Wang Yuling had already guessed what was going on outside.

One day she heard a rustling sound at the door, and someone else would come to see her at this time, probably a rat or something. A human face appeared in front of him, it was Wang Tang's face, and his face was a little pale, "Yuling." ”

"What are you here to do, to appreciate the way I look like a ghost or a ghost?"

Wang Tang: "No, I just came to see you, I have been thinking about the words before the master left, he said that people are watching the sky, there must be evil in the village, I was like them before, I thought you were evil, but now I think about it, maybe I am as wrong as them." ”

"Wang Tang, do you know that you have harmed the whole village!"

"No, I don't, I'm just thinking about everyone. Wang Tang was silent for a long time, lowered his head and said, "Yuling, didn't you develop a prescription last time, where is it, maybe the village can still be saved." ”

After a while, Wang Yuling said: "There is a prescription on the table, which is for the treatment of the plague, but I haven't tried the efficacy of the medicine, I want to be quiet, you can go." ”

"I'm sorry....."

The hatred of this life does not want to be carried over to the next life, and that is too painful.

After Wang Tang left, Wang Yuling fell asleep groggy, and lost consciousness after a sharp pain in his neck in his sleep.

And when she woke up, she felt lilt, surrounded by her familiar surroundings, and she was still in this village.

The only difference is that the plague is gone, and the village is peaceful, no different from before, except that there is a little boy sitting in front of his house.

After asking all the people in the village, no one knew the little boy, so Wang Yuling had no choice but to adopt the little boy.

Life in the village was the same as before, except that no one spoke of the plague again.

It should be the prescription that works, Wang Yuling thought.

He still healed and saved people as usual, and the painful memories gradually faded in time.

With the company of the little boy, life seems to have added a different color, but unfortunately, the little boy can't speak.

So, the two lived day after day, simple but happy.

The little bone man was still taken back to Zhaohua Mountain, and all the white bones in the village were buried in the dust along with Wang Yuling. The village that had long since ceased to exist, or that had not existed since the plague, disappeared along with it.

Lou Qingyue was sitting in the center of the hall, holding a floating pen in his hand, fiddling with the classics that had just been put in the classic furnace, without too much expression on his face.

Xiaoxiao walked into the hall with lunch, "Little aunt, it's time to eat." ”

"Put it there. Lou Qingyue continued to pound the classics.

Standing there with a smile, she usually looks like a puppet, but today she is preoccupied, with an expression of wanting to speak and stopping.

"Little aunt, why do you want to be punished and confined to you?" said Yunhe, who was sleeping in the corner.

Lou Qingyue: "Do you also think that you shouldn't be punished?"

Yun He was stunned for a moment, and immediately opened his eyes and replied, with a slight flush on his face, "No." I don't think it should be based on sacrificing other people's lives, even if it's to repay the favor. ”

"Smile, do you hear me?"

"Yes, Xiaoxiao understands. So, Xiaoxiao turned into a puppet again, standing silently aside.

After a while, black smoke rose from the furnace of the classics.......... That's going to be thrown into the Tai Chi Abyss.
