Chapter 218
The next day, the group arrived at Xishan and headed towards the villa.
I saw that the mountains and rivers are still beautiful, with bamboos standing in the mountains, as beautiful as if they were not contaminated with the fireworks of the world.
The stream of water is still clear, and the flowing clouds in the sky are reflected in it, flowing slowly with the clear spring.
This was the first time Yu Qiluo had arrived here. She felt very happy and laughed: "The scenery here is a bit similar to my mother's paintings!"
Zhou Shaobai asked curiously: "Hey, why is your mother's painting a Middle Earth landscape?"
"My mother loved Middle-earth culture since she was a child. When she was young, she learned the classics, history, poetry, songs, etc., so her paintings often contain the Middle-earth scenery she imagined." Yu Qiluo looked at the scenery in front of her and praised, "If she saw this, she would definitely be very happy!"
However, when Chang Baicao saw the cottage hidden in the bamboo shadows appear, he lamented and said, "I was sorting out the prescription in the villa that day. Suddenly someone put a knife on my neck and forced me to leave with them. He left, but why did he kill those servants? These beggars are really cruel..."
Zhou Shaobai remembered the Beggars' Sect's conference that day and said, "The Beggars' Sect's appearance is now, and it has nothing to do with that fake gang leader."
"Fake gang leader?" Chang Baicao was stunned and asked, "Why do you say that gang leader is fake?"
"This matter is a long story," said Zhou Shaobai, "I will talk about the details slowly with Mr.
As the few people spoke, they had already entered the villa. Zhou Shaobai went to check it out. The bodies of the servants had already been collected and the inside and outside of the house had obviously been cleaned up.
"It seems that Mr. Liang sent someone to clean the place later, which saved us our efforts." Mu Ningzhi stroked the wall made of green bamboo and said. In fact, this villa is unique and simple, which suits her wishes.
Yu Qiluo reached out to greet Zhou Shaobai: "Come on, take a hand and take off the coffin and release the little beggar. The bumpy road was also uncomfortable."
Zhou Shaobai and Yu Qiluo worked together to lift the coffin off the donkey cart. Mu Ningzhi walked over, unsheathed the Ice Jade Sword and lifted the cover of the coffin with one sword. The little beggar who had been holding it in for a long time suddenly sat up and stared at everyone with a fierce look.
If it weren't for the iron chains that were locked tightly and the cloth was stuffed into his mouth, he would have pounced on him with howling.
Chang Baicao said, "Come on, settle him in my previous room so that I can check his condition at any time."
Zhou Shaobai nodded, took the little beggar into the study room, locked it on the pillar, and then came out, wiped the sweat from his head, and asked, "Mr. Chang, how did this flesh corpse become?"
Yu Qiluo also said, "Yes, it's so weird that a person suddenly becomes like this, which is not human or ghost."
Chang Baicao sighed and said, "What I saw that day was indeed very strange. The little beggar is called the dog's tail and has a leper on his head. After he was captured by the Beggars' Sect, this child has always been responsible for taking care of me. Although he always deliberately did bad things to me, his nature is not bad. It was just because of his miserable experience that made him temporarily lose it."
"Oh, I wonder what his experiences are there at such a young age?" Zhou Shaobai asked.
Chang Baicao smiled and said, "He is 13 years old this year, but he is only three years younger than you. You said that others are young, what about you?"
Zhou Shaobai smiled without saying a word, Yu Qiluo lit his head and said, "At a young age, don't interrupt casually!"
Everyone laughed, and Chang Baicao said again: "That day, the leader of the Iron Gang crushed a pill and sprinkled the medicine powder on the scaly sore on the dog's tail. Then the medicine broke out, and the child started to get a fever and talk nonsense. No, I thought it was nonsense, but later I realized that every word he said was true."
After saying that, Chang Baicao sighed and explained the reason why the dog's tail left home and became a beggar.
After hearing the tragic experience of Dog Tail, Zhou Shaobai, Yu Qiluo and Mu Ningzhi were deeply shocked by it and did not recover for a long time.
Zhou Shaobai said slowly: "Every son and eat..."
He remembered what Lu Wenqi said to himself: Since the beginning of the previous year, Hexi has been drought for two consecutive years. It was really a thousand miles away from the ground, with no harvest, and the people changed their children and fed. Young Master Zhou, can you think of that tragic situation?
I heard what others said at that time, and I felt it was unbelievable, but now, the person who has experienced that disaster is by my side.
This taste is completely different.
Zhou Shaobai slowly recovered from the shock, and only heard Chang Baicao say: "I have heard of the severe drought in Hexi for a long time, but I was not in Middle-earth for those two years, so I have never seen it in person. However, from his words, it seems like I saw it in person."
Mu Ningzhi was also shocked.
She grew up in Xianshan since she was a child, and she had never heard of these tragic disasters. Now she heard that there are such tragic things in the world, which greatly shocked her existing understanding.
"Why didn't the court go to provide disaster relief back then?" she said in confusion.
Zhou Shaobai remembered that he had asked the same question, sighed and said, "The food transferred by the imperial court to Hexi for disaster relief was exploited by local adults and men in Hexi. Before they could reach the victims, there was little left. Even so, the little left was replaced by moldy wheat bran."
Mu Ningzhi was shocked again, so shocked that he couldn't speak.
At this time, Yu Qiluo said, "This incident is indeed true. At that time, many refugees fled everywhere, and some of them came to my snowy plateau. My father accepted them and laid out land for them to farm and live, so that they could settle down and live well. I also followed my father to see the village they built. The disaster they said was exactly the same as what you said just now."
"That's why this child is so perverted." Chang Baicao said, "The pills crushed by the Iron Gang leader will first remind people of the most painful things they have experienced in their lives, making people lose their hearts and control them. Then even their body changes drastically, and ordinary people become strong and brave, not afraid of death."
When Zhou Shaobai heard this, he suddenly frowned and said to Mu Ningzhi: "Did you remember that when Senior Brother Zhang said that when he was guarding the city in Shouyang, the Qiankun scholars he encountered seemed to be controlled by others, and were extremely brave, not knowing what life and death were. Even if his limbs were cut off, he could only crawl on the ground, but he still went forward bravely without retreating. Even if more than 6,000 people were destroyed by the Thunder Sword Technique, he continued to move forward until he was called by the sound of flutes from somewhere, and then he retreated."
"Of course I remember, could it be that what you mean is that those Qiankun believers were turned into flesh corpses by the so-called white pills, so they were so brave?" Mu Ningzhi asked keenly.
Zhou Shaobai nodded: "No, but this is just my guess."
