Chapter Twenty-Six: The Living Dead
Suddenly, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old guard came running to say goodbye.
"Miss, a villager accidentally cut off a hand while cutting down a tree! Well, it wasn't his hand, it was a crazy woman. The woman ran out of the peach blossom forest, and I don't know if there was water in her brain, but she actually sent her hand under the axe, and she didn't cry out in pain after her hand was chopped off......"
"Have you asked her name? Who is she?"
Sister Zhen asked her, and she said that she was Zhou Ye'er, He Zhuo's concubine. ”
Shen Zhiwei and Uncle Liang exchanged a look, and they both thought that the person who came out of the peach blossom forest was not credible, and he was obviously controlled by the peach kernel.
She looked at the girl who was brought over by the arms of the two female guards, the other party's left hand was cut off, the wound was bleeding profusely, but the expression on her face was completely unaware of the pain.
The female guard put Zhou Ye'er on the ground, and Zhou Ye'er sat down on the ground with a plop, her head drooping slightly, and her intact right hand propped herself up. Indeed, as the guards say, there are more like madmen than normal people.
"Hello Miss Zhou. Shen Zhiwei raised his voice slightly, briefly introduced himself, and asked, "Can you tell me what you encountered in the Peach Blossom Forest?" Not including you, there are already eight people missing in the Peach Blossom Forest, and their lives and deaths are unknown. ”
"Miss......" Zhou Ye'er raised her head, her snow-white face was delicate facial features, her age was about seventeen or eighteen years old, even if she was embarrassed, she still exuded a flattery, which made people think that she was frivolous and not dignified.
Her eyes were also looking at Shen Zhiwei presumptuously, and after a while, she said with some disappointment: "You are the daughter of the main family? ...... Why didn't you come earlier? I want to see you, I want to ask you to do justice......"
Shen Zhiwei looked at Uncle Liang.
Uncle Liang reminded in a low voice: "Miss Zhou is unwilling to live with He Zhuo, and He Zhuo forced her father to sell her to him. ”
Shen Zhiwei was silent.
As the owner's family, Dongfang Wuyang is really not responsible enough, indulging He Zhuoqiang to rob the people's daughters.
She looked at Zhou Ye'er, who was babbling nonsense, and said in a soft voice: "Miss Zhou, I'm sorry. Can you answer my question, what did you encounter in the peach blossom forest?"
Zhou Ye'er has awakened the occult arts, and he is already a mystic master with a third-order cultivation.
However, Shen Zhiwei was not sure if this Zhou Ye'er was alive.
In her perception, Zhou Ye'er was surrounded by a rich and pure dead qi, theoretically it should be a dead person who had no breathing and heartbeat, and could not move.
"Peach Blossom Forest?" Zhou Ye'er muttered, "Dead, dead, all dead, hahaha......"
"Miss, she's gone crazy. Uncle Liang said, "You sit here, I'll ask her." ”
He didn't dare to let Zhou Ye'er get close to Shen Zhiwei's body.
In case Shen Zhiwei was held hostage by Zhou Ye'er, or if Shen Zhiwei was injured, the entire Liuxi Village would have to bear the wrath of Dongfang Wuyang.
Back then, Dongfang Wuyang swung his sword to cut off the heads of Diao Nu's family, He Zhuo was the one who witnessed it, and so was Uncle Liang.
Zhou Ye'er was taken aside, and Uncle Liang followed.
Shen He stared at the blood on the ground and said, "Sansan, isn't that woman afraid of pain? After so much blood has been shed, her hand is broken, just don't say a word, and laugh! She is not afraid that others will be scared to death by her!"
The clan elder stroked his beard and looked at Uncle Liang and Zhou Ye'er worriedly: "I sort out the family tree in the ancestral hall every day, and I don't leave home, but I don't know that He Zhuo has done so many evil things from me......" Turning his head to face Shen Zhiwei, "Miss, do you have something to hide from me?"
"I'm third, not the eldest lady. Shen Zhiwei corrected and motioned for the maid to bring a pot of flowers.
There are potted plants at the entrance of the Zhuangzi, with flowers and trees.
The maid picked a pot of camellia flowers that bloomed excellently, and the red petals were like blood.
Shen Zhiwei raised his hand and nodded, urging the scaleless gray snake hidden in the camellia with a trace of vitality, and the camellia withered and died in an instant.
"This!" the patriarch was shocked.
"This pot of flowers is infected. Do you know what infection means? When it gets sick, it spreads to flowers and plants, to chickens, ducks, cats and dogs, and even to people. ”
"Can I save it?"
"The infected flowers and plants will definitely die, and theoretically, they should be saved. Shen Zhiwei concealed the information that he was able to kill the Scaleless Gray Snake and the Black Scale Jewel Snake, and said solemnly, "You can't live here, you have to move out as soon as possible." ”
"But ......" clan elder was puzzled, "We have lived here for hundreds of years, we have land, land and houses, how can we give up ......?"
"That's your business. If you insist on staying here, you may die. Shen Zhiwei made it clear what was at stake, "I notified my father and mother three quarters of an hour ago, and if there is no accident, they are coming." ”
Liuxi Village is near An Yingcheng, if something happens here, An Yingcheng will not care, as for how they will take care of it......
Shen Zhiwei instructed the maid to bring all the potted plants and concentrate on the study of the scaleless gray snake.
Two quarters of an hour later, Uncle Liang returned to Shen Zhiwei's side and said, "When you were still on the road, He Zhuo locked Miss Zhou in the house and didn't allow her to see anyone. Miss Zhou was unwilling, she wanted to find justice for the master's family, so with the help of the maid, quietly——"
Shen Zhiwei interrupted him: "Which maid?"
Uncle Liang thought for a while and said, "Miss Zhou didn't say who it was. However, there are not many maids in Zhuangzi, and there is probably only one Xiao Chunlan who will help Miss Zhou. ”
This answer was not sure enough, he went to ask other maids, and reported to Shen Zhiwei: "It was Xiao Chunlan who released Miss Zhou behind He Zhuo's back." ”
continued the original narrative: "Miss Zhou hid in the Peach Blossom Forest from everyone except Xiao Chunlan, planning to wait until you come, and then come out to find you to administer justice for her." But as she was holding on to a peach tree and was about to sit down to rest, something flexible around her neck. The thing strangled her, hung her up a tree, and never put it down. ”
Can you still live if you are hung around your neck?
Shen Zhiwei suspected that Zhou Ye'er was already a dead person.
Uncle Liang's tone also became subtle: "Later, Miss Zhou saw Erxi, but she was hung on a tree and couldn't open her mouth to call people. Erxi didn't get close, and he was scared away. Xu met He Xiaoqian on the road, so he told Miss Zhou about hanging. He Xiaoqian went to find He Zhuo, and the two uncles and nephews entered the peach blossom forest with Erxi and put Miss Zhou down. ”
Shen Zhiwei thought to himself, if Zhou Ye'er had spoken at that time, Uncle He Zhuo's nephew was afraid that he would be so frightened that he would run away.
"Miss Zhou is fine, but He Zhuo, He Xiaoqian, and Erxi were all hung up on a tree. Uncle Liang whispered to his master, "Although Miss Zhou can speak and move, she has no heartbeat or breathing. ”
Such a terrible monster should be burned to death, lest she harm others.
Shen Zhiwei said: "Lock her hands and feet, lock her up first, she may be used in the future, and she can't be burned." ”
She stood up and walked to the path below the peach blossom forest, looking at the peach grove that gradually disappeared under the axe, feeling sad.
Zheng Sanlang and the three guards have not appeared so far, I am afraid that there will be more than one luck.
