Fortunately, the old man over there quickly cooked a large pot of porridge and fried a large pot of vegetables.
Everyone can get a bowl of porridge first.
No matter what, after eating this bowl of porridge, my body is somewhat warmer.
"I'm still cooking rice in the pot. I'll fry a few more dishes later." Kino picked up the bowl and drank a bowl of porridge in two mouthfuls.
The old man’s porridge was too thin, and he might also be worried that they were too hungry, they would have to cook for a longer time, and they didn’t have much energy to eat for a while, so he cooked the porridge and let them cushion their stomachs.
They don't even care about whether they are safe, whether there is poison or not, and now they are starving to death if they don't eat it.
Besides, Yun Chi said that they are not afraid of being poisoned for three years.
For a while, there was the sound of porridge drinking in the room.
Xu Jing also found out all the clothes here and put them on first.
The old man looked at the people in their house and sighed, "If you don't have enough clothes, you can look for them in other houses."
Ding Dou slowed over, pulled him to sit down, and was about to ask about the situation in the village.
"Old man, have all the people in this village moved out?"
"Which is moving away," the old man said sadly, "it was all forced to leave."
"Forced to leave? What's the matter?"
"You came from a different place? I didn't even hear about our village."
It turns out that there is a big stocked house called Baishizhai within a day and a half of going west in this village. Ten days later is the 50th birthday of the village owner, and the surrounding villages have to prepare birthday gifts for him.
People in their small village used to make a living by touching ginseng and selling ginseng. After the owner of Baishizhai knew about it, he had to give him fifty roots of wild ginseng as a birthday gift ten days later.
The villagers think this is impossible.
"Although our ancestors have relied on picking herbs and touching ginseng for generations, it's good to be able to touch one or two wild ginseng this year. Sometimes in order to find a wild ginseng, we don't know how many mountains have to be turned over."
The old man said with a bitter face: "The total population of the whole village is fifty or sixty people. There are old, small and women, and we can't all go into the mountain to find ginseng. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for us to send fifty roots of wild ginseng? "
"The village master? If you don't send wild ginseng, what can he do?" Ding Dou asked.
"Before we found wild ginseng, we had to send it to Siming City to sell. But to enter Siming City, we have to pass through Baishizhai. If we don’t obey and don’t give gifts, the master will let people give us the way to enter the city. We can’t sell the herbs, we can’t sell the ginseng, nor can we go to the city to buy rice or cloth, and we will not be able to live in the future. Besides, after that, the village owner always sends people over to make trouble, going to the houses from time to time , To see if we have hidden wild ginseng, that’s not letting people have a good time."
"So, the villagers are all gone?"
"If you don’t go, you can’t do it. Yesterday someone suddenly reported that it was the village master who was about to send someone over again to bring everyone to Bai Lei Ya. Let us all go to Bai Lei Ya to find ginseng. The big guys are scared. Yes, they all ran away."
Having said this, he couldn't help but look at them, seeming to think that they dare to go to Bai Lei Ya, which is a shocking thing.
But looking at them like this, it feels fortunate that the villagers all ran away.
It seems that Bai Lei Ya is really dangerous.
Everyone couldn't help but stare at each other.
I didn't expect that there would be such a thing.
"Then why did you leave without taking anything?"
"Where can I take care of it, the big guys are scared, and the people in Baishizhai can easily find them if they carry too many things. They all bring money, and they will run away when the wind is over."
Xu Jing looked at the cotton-padded clothes she was wearing, and was taken aback, "Then what we eat now..."
The old man waved his hand and said, "These things, the big guy didn't expect to keep them for future use. When the people from Baishizhai come over, I don't know what every household will be copied into."
"Old man, why don't you two elders leave?" Ding Dou asked.
He went to the old man's house just now and saw his old woman with poor legs and feet.
The two elders are left in the entire village.
"They all have a place to go, and those who have nowhere to go are going to find a mountain to simmer. The old woman and I are getting older and have no place to go. The sky is cold and freezing. How can I survive this time?" The old man's lips He trembled and said: "Let's just guard the village here, with rice and vegetables. We are always hungry. I hope the people from Baishizhai will come over and let us go."
Therefore, before he thought they belonged to Baishizhai, and didn't dare to open the door.
Had it not been for the two girls Zhu Ershuang'er in this line, the old man would really hide at home and dare not speak out.
"This Baishizhai really deceives people too much." Muye said.
Ding Dou sighed and said, "The strong bullying the weak is everywhere."
"You can't do anything right now, but you are full tonight. After the night, you should leave as soon as possible. I'm afraid they will come tomorrow." The old man said to them.
Xu Jing snorted.
Muye said: "Old man, don't be afraid, we won't be afraid when they come."
"Don't talk nonsense, those people are very fierce." The old man stood up and said, "I'll go get you some meat dishes and eat a little bit tonight."
The old man walked out again slowly.
I have to say that Ding Dou and the others knew the reason for the empty village, but they were relieved.
It's not a weird thing.
Someone is doing evil, they are really not afraid.
The whole village was forced to leave. They heard of this kind of thing for the first time.
Kino said in a daze, "Master, did you say that the mountains here really produce wild ginseng? We only need to be able to dig a few roots of wild ginseng for the girl, and that stuff can be made up."
Ding Dou squinted at him angrily, "Do you still want to go up the mountain? They know which mountains to go, don't plunge into the Red Dead Valley again."
At the mention of the Red Dead Valley, Mu Ye immediately shook, where he dare to enter the mountain.
In the room, the King of Zhenling personally wiped Yunchi's face and hands, helped her sit up, feed her porridge, and listened to the voices outside.
"If it feels wrong to eat, you have to talk to the king."
The king of Zhenling fed her and brought out the shadows.
I fed fish soup before, but the result was such a big problem. Now, who knows what's wrong with the porridge in this small village
Yun Chi pursed his lips for joy.
"The porridge is delicious."
He didn't eat it himself, and he cleaned it up when he came in, and fed her porridge. Where is this the frightening King of Zhenling
Where is the cold man who always wanted to kill her as soon as we met, and killed her all the way
"The master of Baishizhai must have good ginseng in his hands." Zhenling King said suddenly.
"Ok?"
Yun Chi looked at him, somewhat puzzled.
She also knows.
Since the owner of Baishi Village needs so many wild ginseng, it shows that he is a person who is extremely afraid of illness and death, and also attaches great importance to health preservation. It is normal to have good ginseng and good medicine in his hand.
But what did he say this suddenly
The King of Zhenling said lightly: "He is not worthy of food."
