"At one time, our mountain village was very peaceful. Although we were very poor, every family lived in peace. But last year, a rich businessman came and went to the cave at the back of our village."

"In the past, we only knew that there was Koizumi in the cave, but this spring did not attract money. Since ancient times, it had a bitter taste. In addition, the river bank was not far from our village, so no one ever went to the cave. However, the rich merchant somehow went to the cave and found a deep pool."

"There's a fish there. If you catch one, you'll get 200 Wen! At that time, the capable villagers went to the pool like crazy to catch fish and sell them. Rich merchants came to collect fish every once in a while. "

"Because the fish was so expensive that no one would eat it. They kept it for sale. Over time, every family had their savings from selling fish, and even those who had caught more were moved out of the village to the town, but the fish were quickly caught."

"The rich merchant said that all the living things in the cave were valuable, so the villagers went crazy to hunt in the cave. Rabbits, mountain mice, foxes I don't know how many have been arrested. Many people have made a lot of money... "

With that, the woman's eyes began to panic. "Unexpectedly, at this time, some people began to get sick. What medicine they took didn't work. One after another, the villagers fell down one after another. Those who fell ill were all the first ones who went into the cave to catch fish and hunt!"

"What's the matter with them?" asked the egret? What about the other villagers? "

"Although these people fell ill, the other villagers still couldn't help going to the cave, because the money given by the rich merchant was increased again. They all thought that those who got sick were just bad luck, but who knows Soon those who fell ill died one by one! At the same time, there are still people getting sick! "

Gu Qingci wrung eyebrows, "why not ask yamen for help?"

The woman cried, "no, Lord Li Zheng said that we had offended the mountain god master, so after that, the villagers were forbidden to go to the cave, and the whole village was not allowed to make a fire, just to calm the mountain god's anger. No one dares to use the money we earned, so it's all buried."

"Is that of any use?" asked the egret

Gu Qingci droops his eyes and thinks that it is useless to do so.

The woman cried: "there are dead people in the village all the time. It is said that this matter can't be spread out. Otherwise, our village may be regarded as a plague outbreak and then isolated, or even trapped in the mountain. So, we keep it from the outside. Lizheng takes the rest of us to sacrifice to the mountain god, hoping to have a way to live."

The egret said angrily, "you are too stupid. To do so is to let more people have the risk of poisoning."

The woman cried more bitterly, "after his father died, I took my son and I depended on each other. I didn't dare to make a fire to cook. I ate bran and swallow vegetables every day. I prayed to the mountain god for forgiveness. But my life was very hard. My son still contracted this disease. When he was dying, he was put into the prepared coffin as a sacrifice..."

The woman couldn't say any more, and she almost cried.

In the woman's crying, Gu Qingci also roughly understood the secret here. Greedy villagers kept entering the cave for money and contacting poison, which led to the spread of poison in the cave.

But what is the status of the rich businessman?

So Gu Qingci asked about the rich merchant again. The woman shook her head in confusion. "I have never seen anyone, and all the people I have seen have died. Since the death began in the village, the rich merchant has never come back."

The egret sighed, "then no one knows. It's a pity that the rich merchant must have known that these poisons are poisons, so he bought them at a high price. Otherwise, he will die after buying fish for the first time."

Gu Qingci nodded, "indeed, this rich merchant must have a different purpose, but it is a pity that he has harmed these ignorant villagers."

From Gu Qing's words, it was not the mountain god's revenge, but the poison in the cave was provoked out, and the woman's face was full of grief.

She knelt down again in front of Gu Qingci and prayed: "madam, my husband and son are dead. My life is useless for a long time. I just hope you can save the village."

Gu Qingci wrung his eyebrows. "I'm here to solve this problem. My friend is poisoned by your village. I'll try my best to find an antidote."

Back to the living place arranged by Li, He Lian Cheng is sitting on the eaves.

Gu Qingci frowned, "there is no moon or star in the sky, what do you see?"

Helian City leisurely said: "enjoy the wind."

"I'll come too!" said the egret with a smile

"Egret will not walk with me for three months

Helian City touched his forehead and continued to sit back. "What are you doing here?"

Seeing Helian City sit back, egrets smile, "you want to enjoy the wind, I also want to enjoy the wind, it's better to enjoy it together."

Gu Qingci mouth slightly floating up a smile, "the mountain has the Lan Xi, the LAN has the wind, you continue to appreciate, I can have to make up a sleep."

When Gu Qingci woke up the next day, he heard the egret sneezing, but his face was full of laughter.

Gu Qingci looked at her, "snot is almost flowing down, but also smile, did you eat tofu last night?"The egret chuckled, then looked at both sides and said in a low voice: "the wind was too strong last night. The tile almost broke. I accidentally fell on his leg."

At this time, the voice of Helian city came from outside, "speak disorderly, be careful not to eat."

The egret spat out its tongue and whispered, "I feel his waist! Make it, make it

Seeing the egret wiping her nose happily, and then seeing Helian city outside, Gu Qingci picked her eyebrows. How could she feel so pleased?

After breakfast, He Lian Cheng left immediately, obviously did not want to stay with egrets.

Egret begged for a bargain last night. Now she went to see the little girl at Yao's house. Gu Qingci, who was at the end of the journey, was looking for her in the quilt.

Li was looking at Gu Qingci and said in a deep voice: "I know that madam is capable, but the little granddaughter of Yao family has not recovered completely. No one can say whether this can be done or not. I don't want the villagers to mess up because of this."

Looking at Lizheng, Gu Qingci thought of what the woman said last night. In fact, Li Zheng, who seemed to have been trying to save Dongquan village, completely delayed the opportunity and unintentionally expanded the situation.

Gu Qingci took a look at Li Zheng and nodded: "of course, everything here should be done according to your will."

Seeing Gu Qingci, he agreed without hesitation. Lizheng breathed a sigh of relief. He continued: "madam, there is no peace in Dongquan village recently. Many people have left, so many villagers are suspicious. As Lizheng, I just want to let the villagers live and work in peace and contentment."

Gu Qingci raised his eyes, "you are right. It is the most important thing for the villagers to live and work in peace and contentment."

With that, Gu Qingci began to say, "Lord Lizheng has said that many people in Dongquan village have been fishing and selling in mountain springs for a while. Has Lizheng ever known about this business?"

Li Zheng shook his head, "as Li Zheng, how can I do business? My wife is joking."

Gu Qingci looked at him, "then you don't know that someone has paid for the fish?"

Li Zheng was surprised, "madam, what are you talking about? I don't understand. "
