The next day, the group successfully arrived at Xishan and headed for the villa. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

I saw that the mountains and rivers here are still beautiful, and the bamboo trees are planted, and it is so beautiful that it seems that it has not been contaminated with the fairyland of fireworks in the world.

The water of the stream is still crystal clear, and the clouds in the sky are reflected in it, flowing slowly with the clear spring.

It was the first time for Yu Qiluo to come here, and she didn't feel in a good mood, and she grinned: "The scenery here is a little similar to my mother's paintings!"

Zhou Shaobai asked curiously, "Hey, why is your mother's painting a scenery of Middle-earth?"

"My mother has been fond of Middle-earth culture since she was a child, and when she was a child, she learned about those subsets of scriptures and histories, poems and songs, so her paintings often have the scenery of Middle-earth that she imagined. Yu Qiluo looked at the scenery in front of her and praised, "If she sees this, she will definitely be very happy!"

However, when Chang Baicao saw the thatched house hidden in the bamboo shadow appear, he sighed and said, "I was sorting out the prescription in that mountain villa that day, and suddenly someone put a knife on my neck and forced me to leave with them. Leave and leave, but why kill those servants? These beggars are so cruel......

Zhou Shaobai remembered the beggar gang meeting that day and said: "The beggar gang has become what it is now, and it has nothing to do with that fake gang leader. ”

"Fake gang leader?" Chang Baicao was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why do you say that the gang leader is fake?"

"It's a long story. Zhou Shaobai said, "I will tell Mr. the details of the situation later." ”

While a few people were talking, they had already entered the villa, Zhou Shaobai went to check it, the bodies of those servants had already been collected and taken away, and the inside and outside of the house had obviously been cleaned up.

"It seems that Liang Gongzi sent someone to clean up this place later, but it saved our effort. Mu Ningzhi stroked the wall lined with green bamboo and said, in fact, this mountain villa is chic and simple, which is very suitable for her.

Yu Qiluo stretched out his hand to greet Zhou Shaobai: "Come on, take a hand, unload this coffin, and release the little beggar." The bumpy road is also uncomfortable enough. ”

Zhou Shaobai and Yu Qiluo worked together to lift the coffin off the donkey cart, Mu Ningzhi walked over, the ice jade sword was unsheathed, and the coffin lid was opened with a sword, and the little beggar who had been holding back for a long time sat up suddenly, glaring at everyone menacingly.

If it weren't for the chains on his body and the cloth in his mouth, he would have screamed and pounced.

Chang Baicao said, "Come, settle him in my previous room, so that I can check on his condition at any time." ”

Zhou Shaobai nodded, took the little beggar into the study, locked it on the pillar, and then came out, wiped the sweat on his head, and asked, "Mr. Chang, how did this corpse come about?"

Yu Qiluo also said: "Yes, it is really strange to be a good person, and suddenly become such a person who is not a ghost or a ghost." ”

Chang Baicao sighed and said, "What I saw that day was indeed very strange. The little beggar was called Dog's Tail and had a leprosy on his head. Ever since I was kidnapped by the beggars, this child has been taking care of me. Although he always deliberately treats me badly, his nature is not bad, but because the experience is too miserable, he is temporarily lost. ”

"Oh, I don't know what experience he has at such a young age?" Zhou Shaobai asked.

Chang Baicao smiled: "He is thirteen years old this year, but he is only three years younger than you." You say that others are young, but what about yourself?"

Zhou Shaobai smiled and said nothing, Yu Qiluo nodded his head and said, "At a young age, don't interject casually!"

Several people laughed, and Chang Baicao said again: "On that day, the iron gang leader crushed a pill and sprinkled the medicine powder on the leprosy on the top of the dog's tail, and then the medicine attacked, and the child began to have a fever and babble nonsense. No, I thought it was gibberish, but later I realized that every word he said was the truth. ”

After that, Chang Baicao sighed and explained the reason why the dog's tail left home and became a beggar.

After Zhou Shaobai, Yu Qiluo and Mu Ningzhi heard the tragic encounter with the dog's tail, they were deeply shocked for a while, and they didn't come to their senses for a while.

Zhou Shaobai said slowly: "Yi Zi eats ......"

He remembered what Lu Wenqi had said to him: Since the beginning of the previous year, Hexi has been in a major drought for two consecutive years. It was really a thousand miles of red land, there was no harvest, and the people of Li were easy to eat. Zhou Shaoxia, can you think of that tragic situation?

At that time, I only felt unbelievable when I heard what others said, but now, the people who experienced that catastrophe are around.

This taste is completely different.

Zhou Shaobai slowly recovered from the shock, only to hear Chang Baicao say: "I have heard of the drought in Hexi for a long time, but I was not in Middle-earth in those two years, so I have never seen it in person. However, from what he said, it was as if he had seen it himself. ”

Mu Ningzhi was also stunned.

She grew up in Xianshan since she was a child, and she had never heard of these tragedies, but now she heard that there were such tragic things in the world, which greatly shocked her existing cognition.

"Why didn't the imperial court go to disaster relief back then?" she wondered.

Zhou Shaobai remembered that he had asked the same question, sighed, and said: "The grain transferred by the imperial court to Hexi for disaster relief has been exploited by the local lords and lords in Hexi, and there is not much left before it reaches the hands of the victims. Even so, what little grain was left was replaced with moldy wheat bran. ”

Mu Ningzhi was shocked again, so shocked that he couldn't speak.

At this time, Yu Qiluo said: "This matter is indeed true, at that time, there were many displaced people fleeing in all directions, and some of them came all the way to my snowy plateau. My father took them in and set aside land for them to cultivate and live in, so that they could settle down and live well. I also went with my father to the village they had built, and they said exactly the same calamity as you just said. ”

That's why this kid is so good. Chang Baicao said, "The pill crushed by the Iron Gang Master will first remind people of the most painful things they have experienced in their lives, making people lose their hearts and souls, and being controlled by others, and then even their physical bodies will undergo drastic changes, and ordinary people will become strong and brave, and they will not be afraid of death." ”

When Zhou Shaobai heard this, he suddenly frowned, and said to Mu Ningzhi: "Have you ever remembered that Senior Brother Zhang said that when he was guarding the city in Shouyang, the Qiankun Sect disciples he met seemed to be controlled by people, and they were extremely brave, and they didn't know what life or death were. Even if he was cut off and could only crawl on the ground, he moved forward bravely and did not flinch. Even if more than 6,000 people were wiped out by the thunderbolt sword technique, they continued to move forward until they were called by the sound of the flute from nowhere, and they all retreated. ”

"Naturally remember, could it be that you mean that those Qiankun Sect disciples were also turned into corpses by the so-called white pills, so they would be so brave?" Mu Ningzhi asked keenly.

Zhou Shaobai nodded: "Yes, but this is just my guess." (To be continued.) )
