Chapter 23

early morning.

As the night faded, a pale morning light slowly emerged from the distant hills.

Lijia Village, which had been noisy all night, gradually quieted down.

All the people in the village who were infected with the plague took pills. Except for some who were extremely sick and had to lie in bed, most of the others with milder symptoms improved significantly.

Jiang's family.

Fang Yao tidied up the remaining pills and re-covered the box.

Everyone in the village unanimously requested that the box be placed by her side for her to keep and dispose of. Their expressions showed that they trusted her so much.

This is a box of good things. In this famine year full of diseases, medicinal materials are comparable to gold.

Unfortunately, there is only one box.

The yellow silk cloth said that the pills are three times a day, one at a time, and those who were bitten last night in the village must also take them.

It would be a waste of the medicine that each of her dispensed for only one day each time, just like this, just last night, one-tenth of the medicine was consumed.

When everyone in the village gets better, there probably won't be much left of this box.

However, she doesn't dare to ask too much now, she just wants to end the closure of the village soon so that she can go out of the village to find Mrs. Jiang.

She lowered her head and looked at Dabao and Xiaomei who followed her closely from left to right, and she sighed.

I'm really not very good at raising children.

"Auntie, Erya said that you killed the biggest mouse monster in the cave, and you are the most powerful person in the world!" Dabao's eyes sparkled.

Fang Yao felt a little bit guilty, everyone thought she had shown her supernatural power and exterminated the rat monster, but she couldn't deny it.

She patted Dabao's head and changed the subject: "Okay, Auntie is going to cook, so you can play in the yard for a while, how about going to sleep after eating?"

"Ok!"

The two children nodded in unison, cheered and ran out the door holding hands.

Fang Yao put the key next to her body, and she went to the kitchen to boil water for cooking.

It is said to be cooking, but it is actually boiling water to soak dry food.

After lighting the fire, she turned her head and glanced at the yard. The two children were squatting at the gate playing with ants. She yawned, looked away, and took out the booklet to read again.

The moment she escaped from the stone room last night, she saw with her own eyes a thin black thread flying out of her clothes, piercing into the crack of the stone room at an extremely fast speed, and then flying back.

Because the speed was too fast, no one saw it at all, and she even thought that she was dazzled when she ran away in a panic.

But after leaving the cave temple, my mood gradually calmed down, and it suddenly occurred to me that the place where the black thread flew out was the inner jacket where she put the booklet!
Later, she quietly opened the booklet and looked at it, and there was indeed a problem.

A cloud of black ink appeared on the blank page opposite the picture of Shuoshu Raiding for no reason.

At that time, the villagers were all waiting to distribute the medicine to save their lives. She glanced at it hastily and put it away. Now that she was finally free, she had the opportunity to slowly study it.

Be careful to turn to that page, because Fang Yao often looks at the graphics on this page of the booklet, Fang Yao remembers very clearly that before the stone chamber collapsed, there was no trace at all on the other side, it was completely blank.

But now, a ball of black ink the size of a thumb suddenly appeared on it.

Fang Yao stared at this dark mass for a long time.

"what……"

She rubbed her eyes, which were dazzled by the fire from the stove, could it be that she was dazzled, why did the edge of the ink ball seem to have jagged edges... wriggling? ?

Something flashed in his mind, Fang Yao's little heart suddenly jumped violently, and then he looked down, this ball of black ink...however, the more he looked at it, the more he looked like that "fleeing in fear of sin" from the mouth of the mouse monster black bug? !

Perhaps she had been staring at it for a long time, and her eyes were a little ferocious. The ball of black ink on the dark yellow rough paper trembled more and more visibly with the naked eye...

Fang Yao also closed the booklet tremblingly with both hands. What a resemblance, it was clearly the black thread on the booklet that caught the black bug back!

She remembered the scene where the booklet was dropped near Li Datou's house, and the lines of the picture of rats raging on it shook rapidly, and she felt more and more familiar.

It turns out...the ink stains on it...are all...living things? !

For a moment, the booklet in his hand became a little hot.

"Grandpa patriarch, are you looking for my aunt again?"

In the yard, Dabao's voice brought Fang Yao back to her senses, and she quickly rolled up the booklet and stuffed it back into her inner jacket.

"Master!" The patriarch looked festive as if it was Chinese New Year, holding a clucking hen in his hand, "You are still cooking... Huh? Master, you..."

Fang Yao was still ripping off her clothes subconsciously, and when she thought of being intimate with the strange bug, she felt uncomfortable.

The patriarch looked at Fang Yao again. The latter was fair and delicate, and he was very eye-catching when he appeared in the village on the first day.

Most of the past two days, when I saw her wearing a face scarf or a mask, I didn't think much of it. At this time, when I suddenly looked at her in broad daylight, I always felt that she had become more beautiful, her skin was fair... Like glowing.

If such a woman is not a master, he will suspect that she is a canary who sneaked out from some rich family.

"Patriarch...?" Fang Yao's eyelids twitched lightly, wondering if there was something on her face.

"what!"

The patriarch suddenly came back to his senses, wishing he could slap himself, and stared at the master's face so disrespectfully, he quickly remedied, "Master, master, it's like this, I..."

"I know, you are here to deliver the chicken." The little girl happily took the bound hen, and said unceremoniously, "By the way, patriarch grandpa, yesterday you said that it is not only a chicken, but also a chicken." Goose."

The joy on the patriarch's face turned into embarrassment: "..."

I didn't expect that what I said casually in an emergency yesterday would be remembered by this little girl.

Of course Fang Yao knew the purpose of the patriarch's visit, she smiled slightly: "Little sister, don't talk nonsense, we can't get out now, where can the patriarch grandpa get you geese?"

Dabao tugged at the younger sister, who nodded obediently: "I see, then after we can go out, the patriarch grandpa will give us a goose."

When the patriarch heard that the little girl was so obsessed with the goose, maybe the master hadn't mentioned this on purpose, he quickly flattered him: "I will find a way to get a big white goose for the little girl at that time, okay?"

"Okay!" The little girl looked innocent and innocent, "By the way, patriarch grandpa, my aunt says that the food she eats is bland every day, can you send us some more salt?"

The patriarch was immediately enlightened, and he even mentioned Yanba. It must be because the master was embarrassed and ordered the younger sister to remind him!

He immediately slapped his thigh, "Oh, look at my memory! Wuzi fucking told me, I'll take it to you now!"

Looking at the back of the patriarch, Fang Yao and Dabao cast admiring glances at the little girl.

……

On the hillside outside Lijia Village.

The army stationed at night received orders from the leader, and all the soldiers kept their eyes wide open all night, patrolling back and forth on various hills and intersections.

The bearded Zhou Nan got out of the sweltering tung oil tent to breathe. Suddenly, he found smoke rising from every house on the slope, and vaguely saw children playing in the yard in the distance. It was a peaceful and peaceful scene!

And Fan Chen, who had agreed to leave, was holding his gossip mirror, taking pictures up and down, left, right, left, right, and right of Lijiacun.

I also heard him talking to himself: "No, why... are they all gone?"

Zhou Nan was curious: "What's missing?"

Fan Chen turned to look at him, and said seriously: "The miasma, the miasma in Lijia Village disappeared overnight."
