The Rise of a Farm Girl

Wang Jingru and the other two walked around the town, buying food, drinks and daily necessities. Two secret guards followed behind Wang Jingru.

The two men were covered in all kinds of things, large and small bags in their hands and hanging around their necks.

In the end, when they couldn't take it anymore, the two secret guards said helplessly, Princess, we can't take it anymore.

This is a lot of stuff. If we add more, we won’t be able to carry so much stuff on our journey!

If Wang Jingru hadn't said anything, she wouldn't have noticed it. But when Wang Jingru saw the things hanging on them, she burst out laughing.

The two men were in a really miserable state, with shopping stuff hanging all over their bodies, a backpack on each shoulder, a package in their hands, and all kinds of food wrapped in oil paper hanging around their necks.

With every step they took, those things would collide with each other, making a tinkling sound, as if mocking their embarrassment.

His arms were red from being squeezed by the bags, his fingers became numb from carrying so many things, his face showed helplessness and fatigue, and there were even a few beads of sweat the size of beans dripping from his forehead.

How could they still look like secret guards? The two men's faces became as dark as could be when they saw Wang Jingru making fun of them.

They were secret guards! But there was nothing they could do. They could only accept their fate. After all, she was a princess! And she would be their master in the future.

Wang Jingru thought they had almost finished their tour. The town was not that big to begin with, and after walking around for a while, they had walked around the entire town. Then the three of them returned to the inn.

Wang Jingru put all her things together, ordered some hot water, washed herself, and lay down on the bed.

The other two secret guards also asked for a guest room each. They washed up and then lay down on the bed to sleep.

When on the road, Wang Jingru did not need their protection. She should rest when necessary because she had the ability to protect herself.

Besides, their rooms were next to each other, and they had been practicing martial arts for many years, so they would know any slight disturbance. Therefore, they were not worried that Wang Jingru would be in danger.

The night was calm and peaceful, and they slept very soundly. They also bought a lot of dry food, enough for them to eat for two or three days on the road.

Wang Jingru and her friends got up early the next day. After they packed up, they went downstairs to eat. The three of them ate some buns and porridge, led the horses out of the town, and several people got on the horses and rode them, quickly moving forward.

After traveling for two days, they happened to pass by a village. There were soldiers guarding the area one mile outside Gouzi Village, and no one was allowed to pass by.

Wang Jingru asked one of the secret guards to inquire about the news. After a while, the secret guard came back. The master's village had a plague, and the entire village was locked up in the village. No one was allowed to enter within a mile radius.

Many people have returned to the nearest town. Because this village is the only way to the imperial city, those who want to go to the imperial city must pass through this village. Now that someone in the village has the plague, they can't get through for a while, so they can only return to the nearest town.

Besides, all the dignitaries were afraid of being infected with the plague. As soon as they heard that there was plague in the village ahead, they ran away early.

Wang Jingru and the other two had no choice but to return to the town closest to the village. They wanted to find an inn to rest, but when they asked around, they found out that all the inns were full.

Since there was no inn to stay in, they could only rent a house nearby. They asked one of the secret guards to go to the Yahang to rent a house, and the house was soon rented. The Yahang knew that these people could not stay for long, but they would not rent for just one month and were willing to rent for at least three months.

There was no choice but to pay three months' rent. There were three rooms in this small courtyard. Wang Jingru and her family lived in this small courtyard.

People on the street talk about the epidemic in Gouzi Village every day, but no one knows the specific situation in Gouzi Village.

There were still soldiers guarding the village every day. Wang Jingru found it strange because the entire village was surrounded by soldiers. Then why did the plague infect Gouzi Village? There were several villages next to Gouzi Village, so why were none of them infected?

Wang Jingru planned to explore Gouzi Village at night, but when he shared his idea with the secret guards, they strongly opposed it.

They both said to Wang Jingru at the same time, Princess Jingru, you are the future mistress of our Prince Zhan's Mansion, the future Princess Zhan, and we are sent by Prince Zhan to protect your safety.

If you are hurt or in danger even in the slightest, neither of us will be well again if we go back.

Wang Jingru was stubborn and said to the two secret guards, "Zhan Wang is such a good man, why would he punish you? You see, he usually speaks gently and kindly."

The two secret guards shook their heads like rattles. Their War King was ruthless and had the title of Black-faced King of Hell, but he was gentle as water to the princess. The two of them disagreed with everything. Wang Jingru saw that they disagreed, so she could only go quietly by herself.

The two secret guards followed her closely, fearing that this little ancestor would leave secretly.

Wang Jingru was resting inside the house. The two secret guards were standing one in front of the house and one at the back.

The two of them thought this would be foolproof, but they didn't know that Wang Jingru had space.

At night, Wang Jingru changed into night clothes and used the space to leave the courtyard. After leaving the town, she rode a fast horse to Gouzi Village.

When they were some distance away from Gouzi Village, Wang Jingru had already collected the horse. Wang Jingru used her Qinggong skills to move forward quickly and soon arrived at Gouzi Village.

There were still soldiers guarding the outskirts of the village. Wang Jingru easily avoided the soldiers and entered the village. She was also afraid that the plague was serious, so she drank spiritual spring water in advance and made a temporary mask for herself.

I quickly walked around the village and found their symptoms. Is it really similar to the plague?

The first symptoms of plague are fever, chills, high fever, headache, muscle pain all over the body, swollen lymph nodes, and respiratory system symptoms such as cough, chest tightness, and excessive sputum.

Difficulty breathing, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, bruises on the skin, bleeding spots, bleeding in the oral and nasal mucosa, etc.

And if it is really the plague, it can be transmitted from person to person through droplets.

It's almost winter now, so there's no need to worry about mosquito bites spreading the disease. But Wang Jingru still finds it strange that there's plague out of nowhere!

Why did it happen only in this one village? There are several villages around it, and they are all very close to each other.

Wang Jingru walked around the entire village. There was no one walking around in the village, and there were only elderly people in every household. Where were the young people and children?

Some of the elderly had died in the house, while others were still struggling to survive. There were no young people or children to be seen, which Wang Jingru found very strange. There were not many households in this village, only about fifty or so.

Wang Jingru walked around for a while, which didn't take her long. What made Wang Jingru feel strange was that in this small village, at the very back of the village, there was a family with a particularly large house.

It seemed like someone was walking back and forth in the yard. Wang Jingru used her lightness skills to jump over the wall, which was as high as the wall of that wealthy family.

Wang Jingru jumped into the courtyard wall and directly jumped onto the roof. She lay on the roof and looked around. As she looked around, Wang Jingru felt something was wrong. Why was there a guard in this yard?

The guards were patrolling around the yard. Wang Jingru was lying on the roof, watching intently when she heard voices talking inside the house. Wang Jingru hurriedly entered the space because two people came out of the house where she was.

The two men had very strong internal strength. Wang Jingru was lying on top of them. When he saw the two men coming out of the room, he looked up at the roof. It seemed that he had discovered her. He felt safe only after Wang Jingru entered the space.

As soon as Wang Jingru entered the space, the two people jumped onto the roof. When they got to the roof, they saw nothing. The two people whispered, "I just felt someone on the roof." Another person also said, "I felt it too."

But why didn't we find the person? With our skills, if there was someone here, he wouldn't be able to escape from our grasp!

The two people said, maybe we were wrong, hey, come down! If there is really someone who can run out of this yard.

I think so too, and after saying that, the two of them walked out of the yard. When they left the yard, Wang Jingru also came out of the space.

Seeing that the two were walking in the direction of the mountain, Wang Jingru followed them not far away. The two entered the mountain and walked straight inside.

When they arrived at a cave, the two of them walked in quickly. There were people guarding outside the cave.

Wang Jingru entered the space and stayed outside the cave for a while. She heard the two guards guarding outside say that the second young master Qian had been frail and sickly since childhood and did not live past the age of 20.

Our Grand Tutor really loved his youngest son. He built such a large cemetery for him and also provided him with many burial objects.

The most crucial thing is that all the villagers of Gouzi Village were buried with the second young master Qian.

Another person said, you are wrong, didn’t the elderly people in Gouzi Village all die in their own village?

Wang Jingru listened to the conversation between the two and became so angry that veins popped out and she clenched her fists. This Grand Tutor Qian relied on the support of the Empress in the palace.

They even wanted to bury the whole village with the dead to offer sacrifices to the tomb, so that the feng shui of the Qian family's tomb would become better and better.

In order for your descendants to prosper, your Qian family must use the people of the entire village to offer sacrifices to the tomb.

For fear of arousing public anger, they did this. They didn't know what kind of medicine they gave the villagers, but it turned out to have the same symptoms as the plague.

Master Qian used his power to even dispatch the local county magistrate, who sent people to guard the entire village.

It was said that the people in Gouzi Village had contracted the plague, and we needed to prevent it from spreading to other people and spreading the epidemic.

All the people coming and going had to take a detour, even where they came from, and return to their hometowns. The ancients were afraid of plague and pestilence. Once they got it, death was waiting for them.

Wang Jingru wanted to go in and see what was going on inside to see if all the villagers had been killed, so he released a rabbit from the space and ran away.

The two people guarding the entrance of the cave heard the noise and hurried over to check. When they saw it was a wild rabbit, they returned. One of them was cursing, "Damn it, you scared me, I thought there was someone there!"

Wang Jingru took advantage of this opportunity and quickly ran into the cave. After walking about 20 meters, stone steps appeared in front of her. She walked down the steps and after a few minutes, she arrived at the underground tomb.

The tomb was very large, filled with coffins of various sizes, probably the ancestors of the Qian family. What moved Wang Jingru the most was that a corner was filled with gold, silver and jewelry. The gold, silver and jewelry were packed in boxes, but the lids were all opened. They were just placed there.

The villagers of Gouzi Village were divided into four parts, with boys and girls separated, and men and women in the village also separated.

Wang Jingru seemed to be planning to divide into four groups to offer sacrifices to the entire tomb, so that the descendants of the tomb could have better and more prosperous lives.

I don’t know how deep the hatred between these two people and the people of Gouzi Village is, that they actually want to take the lives of the entire village.

This Master Qian really treats human life as worthless. Who can blame him for having the Queen's daughter as his backer? What can happen? The Queen is there to take care of it!

Wang Jingru was just about to take action to put the gold, silver and jewelry into the space, but then she heard the two men say that the gold, silver and jewelry in the secret room must not be moved.

The Grand Tutor had specifically instructed that the gold, silver, and jewelry inside were burial objects for the ancestors, and those just carried in were burial objects for the second young master.

One of them, who looked like a housekeeper, bowed and said, "Master, when is the best time to sacrifice these people? I will start making arrangements."

The two men said to the man who was the housekeeper, "Do you see any grooves on the edge of the tomb?"

Start on time at midnight tonight, don't miss the time.

The inner grooves there should be filled with the blood of young boys and girls, and the outer large grooves should be filled with the blood of adult men and women. When the blood in the grooves is filled and the blood in the inner and outer grooves is connected, the sacrifice is considered successful.

But remember, when bleeding boys and girls, you should see the Yin-Yang Bagua, and the Yin and Yang should be separated. That is, the blood of boys and girls should be separated.

Until they meet, you have to continue to drain blood inside until it meets the blood in the groove outside. When the sacrifice is successful, you can exit the tomb.

Wang Jingru was so angry that her lungs almost exploded when she heard what was happening in the space. Capturing people for sacrifice and draining their blood was so cruel. Wang Jingru thought that these two people were not good people either, so she thought it would be better to deal with them first. Don’t they have strong internal strength?

Then he would take these two people into the space and let them be at his mercy. If he didn't like to take people's lives lightly, then he would torture them.

After the two of them finished talking, they walked outside. Wang Jingru followed them out of the cave.

The two people guarding outside the cave hurriedly saluted respectfully and said, "Hello, Master." The two masters nodded very arrogantly and walked out.

After the two men walked away, Wang Jingru came out of the space, scattered a handful of sleeping pills, knocked out the two people guarding the cave entrance, and took them into the space.

Wang Jingru quickly chased after the two men again. When he caught up with them, he did not hide this time. He ran to their side, and before they could react, the two men were already in the space.

Wang Jingru was like a fish in water in the space. She entered the space and controlled the two people. As soon as the two people came in and saw Wang Jingru, they wanted to resist and attack her.

Wang Jingru has the final say in this space. She is the master. If I let you die, you will never be able to live.
