Chapter 99 Turn 11(2/2)
Bo Ruoyou looked at him for a moment and didn't say anything. She just turned around and wanted to leave. She just wanted to open the door, but Zhang Yu misunderstood what she meant. He grabbed Bo Ruoyou and said, "Don't go--"
Bo Ruoyou turned around, Zhang Yu said childishly but with some fear: "Don't go, my mother-in-law doesn't let me go, I'll go... I'll go..."
His voice was as delicate as a mosquito, but it was trembling slightly. Bo Ruoyou's heart moved slightly and turned around and said kindly to him, "What will happen if he goes?"
Zhang Yu pursed his lips tightly, hesitated for a while before whispering: "I will be punished if I go."
"Punished?" A strange feeling hit Bo Ruoyou's heart.
Zhang Yu let go of Bo Ruoyou and took a step back, as if he didn't want to continue talking, but Bo Ruoyou felt that there was a secret about Zhang Yu about to be told. She couldn't help but hold him back, "Can you tell me what punishment is?"
Her voice was gentle, Zhang Yu frowned and fought again. He finally looked up and said, "After... the punishment of heavenly punishment, you will be punished by heavenly punishment. If you don't listen to your mother-in-law, you will be punished by heavenly punishment. Many people have already been punished. Don't go--"
After he finished speaking, he seemed to feel that he had done something wrong, so he broke away from Bo Ruoyou's hand and ran back to the inner room. Bo Ruoyou's hand was still in the air, but his whole body was stunned like a stone sculpture.
The punishment of heavenly punishment.
These four words have no beginning or end, but are quite intimidating. At first glance, it looks very similar to the words that adults scare children. But when Bo Ruoyou heard these four words, the question that had been lingering in his heart for a day and a night was suddenly solved.
When she was young, she followed the medical books she had read from her adopted mother. She clearly recalled what the punishment was. It was not the punishment used by the gods in the heavens in the legendary story book, but an extremely terrible epidemic disease that can be called disaster. Those who suffer from this epidemic will die at worst, and at the worst, they will have abnormal changes in their hands, feet and limbs, and they will suffer from lifelong disability. The most terrible thing is that this epidemic will infect people without any warning and there is no cure.
Grandma Zhang's deformed legs, the worm-like bloodline on the hands of the Wu sister, and the Guzhang Village, which died in the village due to the plague... Bo Ruoyou's back chilled, and a terrible thought suddenly arose in his mind.
She could no longer calm down, and almost immediately turned around and entered the wing room, lit the fire note, and woke everyone up. Everyone opened their eyes in a daze, and only saw Bo Ruoyou standing alone, they were a little confused.
Bo Ruoyou said with a tight voice: "Everyone wakes up, things are a little bad. I have guessed our doubts during the day. It's because of the emergency, so don't sleep."
Hou Yang stood up first, looked inside the house, and immediately found that Wu Xiang was missing. "What did Miss Bo find? Where did the captain go?"
Bo Ruoyou said: "Just now, Grandma Zhang sneaked out of the door, and Captain Wu followed him. Zhang Yu also got up just now. She told me something. Grandma Zhang always told him that if she disobeys, she will be punished by heaven--"
Hou Yang hadn't reacted yet, "What's wrong with this? Didn't Grandma Zhang scare him?"
Bo Ruoyou shook his head: "No, if the people in the village have not had a strange disease, I can still regard this as a joke to deceive children. But I once saw a strange epidemic in a medical book. The epidemic is extremely harmful to the world. It is difficult for almost all people to survive in the place where it appears. Then there was a saying in the market that called the epidemic "Tianxing". I suspect that the punishment of Tianxing that Grandma Zhang mentioned was the plague in Guzhang Village that year. The reason why Grandma Zhang and other people in the village got sick and disabled was because they had also contracted the plague."
Everyone's expression changed drastically when they heard this, Hou Yang said, "Are they from Guzhang Village?"
Bo Ruoyou was not sure, "Either the people from Guzhang Village escaped, or they had contracted epidemics because of something else. In short, the secret they wanted to hide must be related to epidemics. If Guzhang Village believes in the water god and river god, it is also related to epidemics, then everything will be explained. Most of them have been infected with epidemics, and the babies found on the banks of the Luo River must be inseparable from the people in this village."
After saying that, she said anxiously: "I just remembered the epidemic. Captain Wu followed Grandma Zhang out of the house. He didn't know where he went, and whether there would be any accidents."
Hou Yang immediately said: "I'll go out to check it out!"
Hou Yang called a brother to go out together, but Bo Ruoyou was a little uneasy. Soon Hou Yang and the others came back and said that the road outside had already been done, and it was not clear which direction Wu Xiang and Grandma Zhang had gone a moment ago.
When Bo Ruoyou heard this, he felt his heart sinking into the valley.
Hou Yang comforted: "This little grandson is still at home. She will not go far, and the captain can come back soon."
Bo Ruoyou had to comfort himself like this when he heard this.
However, Grandma Zhang went out and did not go to any family, but walked along the path to the northwest. It rained during the day. Tonight, there were no stars or moons in the sky, and almost no five fingers were seen. However, Grandma Zhang did not hold lights or handed over the fire notes, and she actually went into the mountains and forests like this. Wu Xiang followed far away and was afraid that he would not be able to see anyone and lose him. When he followed half a stick of incense, he realized that Grandma Zhang was actually heading towards the Black Water Pool.
In the middle of the night, an old woman actually slandered her and walked towards the pool in the woods?
Grandma Zhang limped and walked inconveniently, but she seemed to have walked the road under her feet thousands of times, and her slender figure was wrapped in a wide cloth shirt. When the mountain wind came, it was as scary as a ghost. Wu Xiang followed behind her. Although she knew that she was following someone, she was walking farther and farther away, even he felt a little scared.
The mountain road was not easy to walk. Wu Xiang sprained his feet several times before he walked to the Black Water Pool. When he approached, he suddenly found that there was more than Grandma Zhang next to the Black Water Pool. In addition to her, there were also a few people standing by the pool like ghosts.
Wu Xiang did not dare to approach, so he squatted in the bushes in the distance and looked at this side. The night wind blew through the woods to cover up the movements of them, and also sent the sound of their speech.
Grandma Zhang said viciously: "I said I'll let them leave the village as soon as possible, but which of you actually made the earth on the mountain collapse and block the road and keep them. Now, they went to search for it today, but I'm afraid they know everything."
"How can you know everything? It's been more than ten years, and even if the gods come, they can't guess what happened back then."
A cold man's voice sounded. Wu Xiang didn't hear who it was at first, but when the words were settled, a chill suddenly appeared on his back. The person who spoke was the eldest brother of the Wu family. At this time, his tone was gloomy and cruel, and he was not the kind and honest village man in his usual life.
He continued, "Do you think they'll leave? That's the toll of the Beijing Yamen. They will go to inquire about the past, go to the village before to investigate, and send people to investigate us again. At that time, there will be endless trouble. Since they have been targeted, can they still get out?"
Grandma Zhang said again: "Then how do you want to act? You also know that they are a toll-man, and there are nearly ten people in a group! I thought that how we changed places and became people again in the past will be like that today. At worst, we will just run away when they leave."
The eldest brother of the Wu family said gloomyly: "Although they are many people, they are not prepared. Why should we start the fight first?"
At this time, an old man's voice sounded, "How to start first? I could move back then, but now your aunt is sick and your own sister is sick. How should I deal with those people? And what Mrs. Zhang said about running away, where can I run away now?"
The one-armed old man from Wu's family was shocked when he heard this. But when he looked closely, he found that there were three figures beside them who had never spoken. Two of them looked familiar, and they thought they were brothers of the Zhang family, but there was another tall figure, but he couldn't tell it no matter how he was.
At this time, the eldest brother of the Wu family said again: "Since you can't escape, then just do it all the time. The leader among them is a little agile. In addition, they are all small minions who obey orders and a girl who doesn't care about things. What can't be done with just some means? Have you forgotten how we acted back then?" After saying that, he stared at Grandma Zhang, "You have put all the medicine I ordered you to put?"
Grandma Zhang smiled coldly again, "They are very cautious. This is the first time I asked me to cook tonight. How dare I let it go?"
The eldest brother of the Wu family seemed a little impatient. At this time, the Zhang brothers on the side spoke, "Since they entered the village, I knew it was difficult to easily get over this. They have been looking for it all the way, and no one outside knew where they had found. What are we afraid of when we deal with it cleanly? We have not let it go tonight, so we will let it go tomorrow. They see you, an old man, and have had another meal. I don't think we're too careful about you."
"Mother, you do this. There is indeed no way." The strangest figure spoke.
Wu Xiang, hiding in the dark, was shocked. He didn't know when Grandma Zhang's son would come back to the village!
At this time, the man said again: "Have you alarmed them when my mother came out?"
Grandma Zhang shook her head and said hoarsely: "They have been tired for a day and are already sleeping and snoring. I heard it for a long time and found that there was no movement-"
"Then my mother should go back soon, so as not to have variables."
Grandma Zhang wanted to speak but stopped, and finally sighed and obeyed them. Wu Xiang looked at it from a distance. Seeing Grandma Zhang going to come back, he was shocked. He was so big that he was not easy to hide, and Grandma Zhang could only walk more than ten steps to catch him. He thought to himself that he was alone now, not the time to attack, so he got up and wanted to hide. However, as soon as he turned around, his feet slipped and suddenly made a sudden crisp sound!
Everyone standing by the black water pool immediately looked in his direction!
