Young wife Li, she won again

Chapter 369 Cause and Effect
The pedestrians I saw on the road were all skinny and skinny, with dull eyes and slow movements, making people shudder.

"Why is Qingfeng so different from the nearby areas?" Su Qingyue asked curiously.

"Miss Su doesn't know something. This green abundance evil, not to mention the barren land, and the constant famines have led to a serious outflow of people, leaving only some incompetent old and weak women and children. That's all, because it is at the junction of two provinces , so it is often trampled on as a battlefield, how can ordinary people be better in this situation?" Qiao Nan said.

"So, the situation here is similar to that of Lingxi?"

"It's worse than Lingxi! It's said that Feng Shui here doesn't support people, and it's full of evil spirits. In short, it spreads more and more evil, so that foreign businessmen dare not pass by here, lest they will cause bad luck..."

"Woo—" The carriage stopped suddenly.

Qiao Nan terminated the conversation, opened the curtain and walked out.

Seeing a few ragged civilians blocking the way ahead, holding a broken bowl with a gap in their hands, they kept beckoning them to donate food.

"There is no food, but there are a lot of guns, do you want to?" Qiao Nan pulled out the gun on the spot.

Seeing this, the other party immediately dispersed, and escaped cleanly in the blink of an eye.

"If you encounter a similar situation again, don't stop, just rush over! They will naturally avoid it."

Qiao Nan finished his confession in a cold voice, and sat back in his seat.

After receiving Su Qingyue's gaze, Qiao Nan touched his nose in embarrassment.

"Does Ms. Su think that my behavior is too unreasonable? These people come here in groups. Once we take out food, they will rob us of all the food we brought, and even It may be more serious. In order to return to Qincheng as soon as possible, I have no choice." He said helplessly.

"I understand, because I have also experienced the situation you mentioned." Su Qingyue said softly.

"Miss Su can understand, that would be great. The people are indeed pitiful, but our good deeds at this time are just a drop in the bucket, and will not be effective at all. The only hope right now is to centralize power and use force to protect us." People, stop the war...if only the young master can get through this calamity safely." Qiao Nan whispered.

When he said this, his eyes were sincere and calm, very similar to Lin Jin's.

"Miss Su, the county is just ahead, but the officials have all fled, and the situation there is probably not much better... If there is an emergency, we will protect you, so don't panic." Qiao Nan warned.

"En." Su Qingyue responded lightly.

After entering the city, the situation was as Qiao Nan said, the buildings were still dilapidated, and even the main road was full of potholes.

A few people fought on the road because of some unknown reason, surrounded by a large group of onlookers, instead of persuading them, they had to clap their hands and applaud them, encouraging them to beat them to death.

The driver had gained experience, so he didn't stop, but whipped his horse and rushed straight over.

The big guys were startled, and then avoided at a fast speed.

"Find a place to live first, and ask for the best inn!" Qiao Nan said.

"Don't worry, gentlemen, I know this place very well," said the coachman.

"Is uncle a local?" Su Qingyue asked out loud.

"The ancestors moved here during the Song Dynasty and lived here for hundreds of years!"

"Then you should be familiar with Qingfeng's situation, right?"

"Of course, I'll tell you the truth, I used to be a teacher, and then the private school closed down because it couldn't accept children, so I came out to find a job to make a living.

"So that's how it is. If uncle doesn't mind, he can be a guide for us. As for the reward, we can talk about it."

"Then I will thank you a few!"

The carriage galloped through the city road, and finally stopped in front of an inn.

"In Qingfeng, this is the most decent place. There is no better place, so let's make do with it!" said the coachman.

Although the house in the inn was dilapidated, it was kept clean and tidy. Everyone checked it out and there were no complaints.

After taking a rest in the room, Su Qingyue signaled Qiao Nan to take out a few oceans.

Seeing this, the coachman was flattered.

"Uncle, I want to ask you an old story. About seven or eighty years ago, there was a descendant of a witch doctor named Xu..." Su Qingyue said.

"Ah, what you want to inquire about is that poisonous woman who murders like a devil!" The coachman was stunned.

"You know her?" Su Qingyue was surprised.

"There is no one in Qingfeng who doesn't know about it!" said the other party.

"That would be great, Uncle, can you tell us something about her?"

"Okay, that woman's surname is Xu. When she was young, everyone called her a little girl. Later, when she was old and did many evil things, we called her Mrs. Xu. These three words were used in Qingfeng County. Scaring children is better than anything else! Mrs. Xu is from a family of witch doctors, and she is quite famous here. In her generation, the Xu family only has one girl, so the family did not expect her to carry forward witchcraft I just think that she can marry a good family, and I am content. Not long after Mrs. Xu got married, her husband had someone outside. She was not reconciled, so she made tricks on her face. She is a witch doctor , who is good at doing some weird operations, and then she became more and more beautiful, and the man changed his mind. But the good times didn't last long, because her face was repaired frequently, and eventually rotted...Later, Mrs. Xu killed the man and returned His head was chopped off, and he was left with a female body. His death was quite miserable. The local county magistrate took pity on him, so he sent someone to transport the body back, and the nearby neighbors collectively raised money to bury the man in the west of the city. The whereabouts of Mrs. Xu are still unknown, some people say she is dead, and some people say that she met her in other places...Anyway, there are all kinds of theories."

"That man's body was actually buried in Qingfeng?" Su Qingyue frowned.

"Yeah, everyone thought it was a good deed, but on the day of the burial, an old monk passed by here, saying that the big guy chose the wrong cemetery, which ruined the feng shui of the entire county and caused resentment to gather. Qingfeng There will be no good life in the future! Who would believe his words at that time? Everyone ridiculed him and left him. But no one thought that, later..." He could not bear to Can't help but let out a long sigh.

"What happened next?" Qiao Nan was also attracted by the past.

"Later, strange things happened frequently in the city, famines continued, and the once prosperous small town gradually became what it is today... Those who didn't believe it at first began to believe the monk's words. So someone proposed to move a grave for him , or to renovate the cemetery, but the plan has not yet been implemented, and the person who proposed it suddenly passed away due to illness. Since then, no one dared to mention it again, and the western suburbs have also become a forbidden area. , refused to pass there!" the coachman said helplessly.
