Chapter 31
Hearing this news, Xue He was naturally a little surprised.But if you ask more carefully, Dr. Ji doesn't know.This time, he was just telling them his father's "crazy words" as the truth.
"That's all I know. Most of those who knew what happened ten years ago are gone. They either moved away, or they are all old people. They don't know how to speak." Dr. Ji said, "These young masters ran away in vain. It’s been a while, now that my father is gone, the pharmacy is gone, and I can’t give you anything..."
"My condolences to Doctor Ji." Xue He said.
On the contrary, Doctor Ji was not very emotional, he just said: "If what my father said is true, it must be karma."
This place is uninhabitable, Querong took out a few banknotes from his bosom, and handed over all his savings to him, "I don't have much, so this will count as the consultation fee, as a thank you to Dr. Ji for saving my life." Grace."
Dr. Ji had never seen so many banknotes in this small fishing village. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to accept them. "Young master, there is no serious problem at all. This consultation fee is too expensive."
Querong didn't take it back, but forced it into his hands, "He's not in good condition, I'm already uneasy. But if something happens, how can this consultation fee be saved? It's worth buying peace of mind, Doctor Ji, just take this money and leave here. After a few days of rain, Yujiang Village will be gone."
The two stopped prevaricating, and now Dr. Ji only has one consultation box to take away.After thinking about it, he decided to listen to his words, "Master Ji will never forget the kindness of your son."
Querong smiled and said, "Just remember it. In the future, practicing medicine will benefit the common people."
"Young Master, if you have the common people in your heart, you will be blessed." Doctor Ji was so grateful that he didn't know how to express it, and left with his only possessions.
Xue He was by the side the whole time, not saying much, because he hadn't figured out some things, "Shall we go back too?"
Querong turned around and looked at the post-disaster land. More than a dozen families suffered, some were empty, and some had already moved away. However, seeing the scene of the raging river with their own eyes was really frightening. "What about those people?" ?”
Xue He said with a smile: "Young Lord, you have given everything you have to save one person, what can you do with the others?"
"It's only one person who can help." Querong answered him. He didn't think too much, but just walked towards the village woman who was carrying logs in front of her, and gave her a hand.
This time the river water hit about a dozen families, causing many casualties.Yujiang Village is just a small village. There are only dozens of households and hundreds of people here. Many of them have moved out to seek refuge because of the recent heavy rain.
It rains every year, but never before has there been no sun for half a day like now.
Many people are guessing that the mountain god is angry.
Que Rong rescued many seriously injured people and buried those who passed away. Xue Yan held an umbrella for Xue He, but he never made a move again.
If it is as Doctor Ji said, do these people deserve to die?At this time, Xue He suddenly remembered the murals in the cave, the house was destroyed by the flood, and the giant dragon hovered in the sky.
Dragons and monsters with horns and scales...
Xue He didn't dare to continue thinking, suddenly, Querong's voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Come here and have a look, what is this?" Querong greeted him, and suddenly picked up a tile.
"What is it?" Xue He stepped forward, and Xue Yan quickly followed.
At the first glance, he was stunned and speechless.Querong wanted to reach out to pick it up, but he stopped him, and he carefully picked it up from the tiles himself.
This is a golden scale, half the size of a palm, with blood on the top of the scale, as if it had just been pulled out.This thing happened to confirm his absurd idea.The rain splashed on his handsome cheeks, which was colder than ever before.
"What is it?" Querong asked him involuntarily, having never seen this thing before.
Xue He gasped, his voice was unusually heavy, he raised his head and looked at him, his eyes were a little dazed, "It's the dragon scale."
Querong stood up and looked around, thankfully no one cared about them, "We'll talk as we walk."
·
He followed Xiao Langjun into the house and came back to see Jiang'er, while talking about the strange appearance of the people in this village. Ever since Xue He picked up that piece of dragon scale, he has not been at ease.
"If that monster is a real dragon, wouldn't it be..." Xue He hesitated to speak, he sighed, "The dragon clan is a lineage of the gods, these mortals are too daring. Killing the lineage of the gods alive is not tolerated by the law of heaven."
"Do you think this disaster was not accidental?" Querong pushed open the door, and the two were still arguing there.
Xue He followed into the door, still talking non-stop: "The rivers, lakes and seas are under the jurisdiction of the Dragon Clan. Even I can't rashly intervene."
"Human life has already been lost. If we don't care about it, then Yujiang Village will definitely be destroyed." Although he couldn't bear it, Querong still told the truth and the consequences.
"But don't you think it's strange? It just happened that we were going to cause the river to flood, but because we mentioned it?" He took out the dragon scale and showed it to Querong, "The blood on it is not dry yet, it is really a dragon scale. Is the girl coming for revenge?"
"Sister... Sister..." Jiang'er was lying on the bed and talking dreamily.
Hearing the movement, Yang Qingfeng who was lying on the bedside suddenly woke up.When the two entered the door, Querong told him not to say any more.
Xue He shut his mouth obediently, stepped forward to look at the little guy, "How is the situation?"
Seeing someone walk in, Yang Qingfeng got up to salute, looked at Xue He again, and replied politely: "I haven't been sleeping well. I've been sweating a lot, and my clothes are wet, but I'm fine."
Xue He glanced at his sleepy eyes, and deliberately teased: "You slept quite peacefully."
Yang Qingfeng lowered his head and did not speak.
Xue He lifted the quilt and looked at Jiang'er. His body was still cold, his clothes were soaked and stained with blood, and he didn't know if it was a new wound or an old wound that was bleeding again. "If you wake up, take him Go wash it, you can't dress like this, you have to find dry clothes to change into."
With a murmur in his ears, Jiang'er barely opened his eyes and went to look for Yang Qingfeng's figure, "Afeng..."
Xue He stepped back, and after getting Querong's permission, Yang Qingfeng came forward to take care of him personally.
"Take him to wash first, if he catches a cold and it gets worse, we'll go back after cleaning up," Querong said.
Xu San came in at the door, and when he heard people saying they wanted to leave, he kindly tried to persuade them to stay, "It's hard to walk at night in this heavy rain, and the humble house is simple but can shelter from the wind and rain, why don't you just stay here for a night."
Querong declined, "There are so many of us, we can't live here, Brother Xu, don't make things difficult."
Xu San refused to listen, and insisted: "You still call me Big Brother Xu and stay here. Laisu's room is empty, you can live in her room. Mr. Querong used to help our family a lot. I am alone. There is really no way to repay the rough-headed old man."
Having said that, it is not easy for the bird to shirk, and there are patients, so it is really not suitable to travel at night.
Afterwards, Mr. Xiao Lang asked Yang Qingfeng to wash Jiang'er.Xu San brought Xu Laisu's clothes, all of them are ten-year-old children, and there is not much difference in stature at the moment.Xue Yan went out to tidy up the house together.
The people dispersed, only Xue He and Que Rong were left in the room, and it was very quiet.
"Mr. Yang seems to listen to Mr. Xiao Lang very much?" Xue He asked him curiously.
But Querong still had a calm expression on his face, and he didn't care, "Afeng has been attached to me since he was a child, and he has lived in my house for a while, so he is naturally close to me. Now he has no one to rely on, his elder brother is his father, Of course you have to listen to me."
"Really..." Xue He turned his back and looked at the heavy rain outside the window.Mr. Xiao Lang's words are always reasonable, making people unable to grasp the truth.
The two talked about the dragon girl again, and Xue He shared his doubts with him.The rumors in the mouth of the mountain spirit are different from what the villagers here say, but the murals are exactly the same as what happened here.
"The only thing all things have in common is that there must be a girl sacrificed, otherwise there will be a catastrophe." Xue He summed up, while connecting all the things he heard these days.After thinking about it carefully, he asked Xiao Langjun, "If these stories are combined, will it become a complete story?"
"I would like to hear more about it." Querong sat on a chair beside her and just looked at him like that.
Xue He paced around the room, waving the golden fan in his hand, and then slowly said: "The story is just as the mountain spirit said, the boy prodigy from heaven killed the evil mountain god and dragon girl, and the boy was punished. Cursed, this village has to sacrifice a girl every ten years. It used to be peaceful until ten years ago...
Ten years ago, a real dragon girl ventured into Yujiang Village and was treated as a monster by the villagers.The villagers abused and humiliated her, and it was the day of the mountain god's sacrifice. The villagers knew each other and were unwilling to be born out of their own children, so someone suggested that the monster should be sent to the cave as a sacrifice. "
"That's why it's easy to explain why there are so many formations in the mountain." Xue He stopped his movements, looked at him and asked, "How can an ordinary villager and a ten-year-old girl need so many vicious formations?" Law?"
"Maybe it's just because I'm afraid that those girls will turn into evil spirits and come to seek revenge from them?" Querong pretended to guess.
Xue He shook his head, "That's not right. Those who offer sacrifices are poor families, and if they take money, they sell them. Even if they don't go to sacrifice, how can those poor families survive here? When they grow up, they are also sold to brothels everywhere. So those girls who received the money are all voluntary."
"Voluntary?" Querong couldn't imagine such a thing happening.
Xue He added: "When I came, I heard Xu Laisu crying in the sedan chair, but she didn't yell, and she didn't show any signs of breaking free."
"But Brother Xu didn't mean..." Que Rong thought of Xu San's disgusted look again, and couldn't help but twitch in his heart.
"It's very likely that the villagers conspired to deceive the Xu family," Xue He said.
At this moment, the door was knocked suddenly.
"That's all I know. Most of those who knew what happened ten years ago are gone. They either moved away, or they are all old people. They don't know how to speak." Dr. Ji said, "These young masters ran away in vain. It’s been a while, now that my father is gone, the pharmacy is gone, and I can’t give you anything..."
"My condolences to Doctor Ji." Xue He said.
On the contrary, Doctor Ji was not very emotional, he just said: "If what my father said is true, it must be karma."
