Chapter 3 The Girl in the Village
The rainy day in the death row village was dark and blurred. Su Meier took Lin Qinglong's arm and slowly walked in the rain. She used to hate such rainy days, because rainy days would hinder the progress of tasks and prevent her from making money, but today, she took Lin Qinglong's arm and had indescribable joy in her heart.
Lin Qinglong skillfully manipulated the remnant willows to return to heaven, so that the wind just blew away the drizzle. The raindrops bypassed the two and slid down. The two walked slowly in the rain, and their clothes were not wet.
There was a dead silence around, only the faint sound of drizzle. The two walked around several alleys. Not to mention seeing a person, they couldn't even hear a dog barking. The silence was a little strange. What happened to this death row village?
Seeing that Lin Qinglong's face showed surprise, Su Meier giggled and said, "You also found it? Today's death row village seems to be dead, and no one can see a figure. When I first came with you that day, I personally searched the village. There was almost no one. Even if I saw one or two people, I was basically waiting to die.
Lin Qinglong said "Oh" and asked, "Why is this village called a death row village? The name is really weird.
"There was originally a heavenly prison for death row prisoners in this village. Those imprisoned in the heavenly prison are all death row, so this village was named 'death row village', but with the passage of time, the heavenly prison for death row prisoners has long been gone! But the name of the death row village is left. Don't listen to the name of this village, but it is a prosperous place for fireworks. Because it is located at the junction of Kyoto and Liangzhou City, many merchants do business in the death row village. The death row village also has a well-known specialty called 'ice wine', which is an excellent ice wine to relieve the summer. I came to this village a few months ago. At that time, it was still prosperous, but I don't know why it suddenly became like this now!"
Lin Qinglong was about to say something when he suddenly felt the smell of some living things not far away. The shadow of the tree shook, the branches were rampant, a thunder fell, and the rain was heavier. He shouted, "Who is it?" Don't hide, come out!"
He shouted, and saw a little girl in an apricot satin skirt timidly poked her head out from behind the tree. She wore a pair of cute lamb horn braids, and her big eyes flashed, and her eyes were full of despair and fear. She stared at the two uninvited guests.
She cringeed and said, "I've never seen you before... Why are you here?"
Lin Qinglong and Su Meier looked at each other and looked at each other in contempt.
The little girl said, "Are you here to taste the iced wine in our death row village? In the past, many people made a special trip to taste it. My father made wine. At that time, my father was often too busy..."
It rained harder, "clattering", like a bamboo stick beating non-stop.
Lin Qinglong said to Su Meier, "Let's go. She's just an ordinary little girl and can't ask anything." Su Meier smiled, took up his arm and was ready to move on.
Unexpectedly, the little girl stopped them behind her: "Where are you going? It's raining so hard!"
It seems that because there are fewer and fewer people, the little girl couldn't find anyone to talk to for a long time, and she talked more when she saw two strangers.
Su Meier walked over with a smile and said gently, "Little sister, tell my sister, why are there only so few people left in the village?"
The little girl's face changed slightly and she gritted her teeth: "You..."
Su Meier smiled and said, "Overnight... right?"
The little girl looked at the two strangers, suddenly became alert in her eyes, and asked, "Who are you?" Obviously, ordinary people will not ask these questions, let alone come to this village at this time.
However, the alertness in her eyes was fleeting and still full of despair. She said lightly, "No matter who you are? They shouldn't have come at this time." The tone doesn't want to be an eight- or nine-year-old girl at all. She gritted her teeth and seemed to recall the frightening past. "This is a cursed village. Overnight, the plague took everyone away. No one can survive, I can't, and neither can you.
"Plague." Lin Qinglong and Su Meier looked at each other, and their eyes were full of doubts.
"Just the day before yesterday, suddenly, the plague took everyone away. Even those who survived... were almost waiting to die."
Lin Qinglong noticed that the little girl was holding something tightly in her hand and asked, "What are you holding in your hand?"
"Give my father the medicine."
Lin Qinglong asked, "Drug? Do you want to cure the plague?"
The little girl nodded heavily and shook her head vigorously: "I don't know, but my father is still alive. He is very ill."
"Where did this medicine come from?" Su Meier asked with a smile.
"It was left by the witch Yun in the village." The little girl replied.
"Grandma Yun!" Su Meier and Lin Qinglong were shocked one after another, "HUAN Yuanyi's men, Grandma Yun!"
Lin Qinglong's expression changed and he quickly asked the little girl, "Where is Grandma Yun now? Tell me quickly!"
The little girl shook her head in frustration: "The witch has left. I don't know where she has gone... But before leaving, she left the medicine... There is also a small note saying that it is to cure the plague."
"Is it Grandma Yun's enemy who destroyed this village? Grandma Yun escaped from death and left here?" Lin Qinglong said his thoughts. There are too many unusual places in this strange village. Even if he says so, there are still many doubts.
Su Meier giggled and said, "I want to say that it was Grandma Yun who destroyed the village with her own hands and then fled. You know, the purpose of our coming here is..." The following voice whispered to Lin Qinglong: "I came here to catch Grandma Yun alive and force her to explain the secrets of Huan Yuanyi. My means must be It would make her open her mouth. Maybe she got the wind in advance and ran for her own.
Lin Qinglong frowned and thought, "But why did she destroy the village and kill everyone in the village with the plague?" After all, this is the place where she has lived for many years... She is surrounded by her villagers. How can she do it?
Su Meier smiled and said, "It was because of Huan Yuanyi that she withdrew. Therefore, Huan Yuanyi once said to you: 'Before going to Kyoto, go to the death row village to find Grandma Yun'. This sentence is completely to deceive you, because Grandma Yun has already withdrawn, and maybe Grandma Yun has already joined Huan Yuanyi... It turns out that the old fox has been guarding against us for a long time! He may have guessed that Zhang Fu's place would be infiltrated by me, and he even guessed that Zhang Fu's wife was pretended to be an outsider. The boss's worry is not for no reason. We all underestimate the old fox.
Lin Qinglong is thoughtful.
The little girl listened to the conversation between the two and asked timidly, "Are you very powerful people? Are you here to save us?"
Lin Qinglong smiled defeatedly: "I can't even save myself. How can I save you?" He said to the little girl, "You'd better leave this village. If you leave here, there may be a way to live."
"But... we can't live without leaving here."
Lin Qinglong took out dozens of taels of silver from the universe bag and handed them to the little girl: "These are enough for you to live for three lifetimes. Take your father and go quickly!"
The little girl was very surprised, but she didn't dare to take the silver.
Su Meier said softly, "Little sister, take it. If you're sorry, it's all lent to you by this brother. It's not too late to return it in the future!"
The little girl took over the silver gratefully, which was enough for her and her father to leave the death row village and start a new life. She could even invite Langzhong to cure her father's plague. A line of hot tears flowed down her cheeks, and her eyes were full of vitality and hope.
"Thank you, brother and sister-in-law!" The little girl bowed sincerely, holding the silver tightly in her hand and the medicine brought to his father.
"sister-in-law?"
When Su Meier heard this, she couldn't help but be happy. She simply hugged Lin Qinglong tighter and said to herself, "This little girl's little mouth is even sweeter than melon..."
At this moment, Lin Qinglong also looked at her enthusiastically. He thought to himself, "If you really go to Lalun Fenwu, I am willing to go with you..."
