Chapter 215 Who Are You?

Huo Guang turned around and asked Wang Yi, "Do you believe in ghosts and gods in this world?"

Huo Guang knew that in ancient times, due to the lack of scientific knowledge, people would take it for granted that some unexplainable problems were attributed to the existence of ghosts and gods, and they would ask the gods for blessing when encountering some natural and man-made disasters, so he did not feel strange when he saw the scene in front of him. Instead, he turned around and asked Wang Yi, but Wang Yi's answer made Huo Guang get to know this seemingly rough and unreasonable man again.

Wang Yi stared at Jianghuan, obviously he also saw this farce, and he was very dissatisfied in his heart, and his tone was slightly angry when he spoke, "Only these foolish people would believe that the farmer's harvest is good because of God of Valley, Hmph, when there is a natural disaster, I don’t want to think about how to solve it. I only want to vent my anger on the poorest orphans and widows. Stealing food will anger Gu Shen? I did steal food when I was a child, and I’m living well now.”

Huo Guang was stunned, and looked at Wang Yi blankly. Obviously, Wang Yi didn't say these words to him, but just expressed his dissatisfaction.

It may be that Wang Yi spoke out the anger in his heart, and then he gradually calmed down. At this time, he remembered that the county horse asked himself a question, and suddenly realized that his words were impolite, so he quickly explained, "The villain couldn't control it for a while. The dissatisfaction in my heart is vented, of course the villain does not believe that there are ghosts and gods in this world, but just say, otherwise we can just hire a master to deal with those barbarians on the border, why bother to go all out with white knives in and red knives out."

Wang Yi's words are not rough. He doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, let alone children who steal the sacrifices will be punished by the God of Valley, which will affect this year's harvest.

Huo Guang continued to stand where he was, frowning slightly, "Then what do you think is the cause of the boy's stomach?"

"The villain doesn't know, but the villain believes that it's not because of offending the god of the valley. I don't want to hide it from the county horse. When the villain was young, he also did the thing of stealing sacrifices. Which naughty child didn't do it, but the villain now All right, so the villain doesn't believe it. As for the boy's belly, the villain really doesn't know."

Wang Yi was also puzzled. Of course he didn't believe that there would be any bullshit, but the little boy's belly was indeed terribly big, like a nine-month pregnant belly.

Huo Guang curled his lips. Ever since he saw this farce, he wanted to meddle in this nosy business. He thought Wang Yi would have the same idea as these people. Fortunately, the person he brought out was not stupid, "This brat who stole the sacrifice, I ate something I shouldn't eat, that's why my stomach is like this."

"Jun Ma, you actually believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, and also think that this boy was cursed to become pregnant because of what he ate?" Wang Yi looked at the Jun Ma he admired the most in his heart with great confusion, and then asked carefully After saying this, how could Jun Ma, who is so talented and knowledgeable, believe in the stories of ghosts and gods?He looked at Huo Guang in disbelief.

Huo Guang tugged at the corner of his mouth helplessly, "Whoever said that because he ate something he shouldn't have believed in the curse of the Grain God? He got sick because he ate something unclean secretly. It may be because he had a parasite in his stomach. insect."

"Parasite?" Wang Yi repeated. This word was very new to him. He had never heard it before.He had heard of locusts, scale insects, and grain worms, but he had never heard of parasites. "What are parasites?"

"It is a kind of worm that lives in the body of humans or animals and survives by absorbing nutrients from humans and animals. It usually lives in the body, so it is difficult to be found. It is parasitic in another organism, so it is called a parasite. "

Hearing Jun Ma say that this kind of bug lives in the bodies of people and animals, Wang Yi couldn't help but feel his scalp numb. He subconsciously touched his belly. Goosebumps all over his body. He swallowed hard and said, "Stomach." If there are parasites in it, will it die?"

When Wang Yi said this, his voice trembled slightly. He didn't know what a parasite looked like, but he just randomly presented the image of the most disgusting and terrifying insect in his heart, and then stuffed it into the little boy's stomach. He was not afraid, but when he thought about the parasite described by Jun Ma, he felt a little scared in his heart.

Huo Guang took a few steps forward, and Wang Yi followed carefully behind him.

After standing still, Huo Guang said casually, "It won't happen in the short term. Over time, it may induce disease in other organs of the body. It's hard to say."

Wang Yi couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and his eyes fell on the little boy again, "The county horse, save this boy, they are going to drown him now, you take the worm out of his body, the stomach is small, these people will not That’s enough to say.”

Of course, Huo Guang would take the worm out of the boy's stomach, but he didn't reach in and pull the worm out. It took time. The first thing to do was to convince these people that he could change the little boy's stomach back to its original state. , and his big belly is due to illness, not because of the curse of Ceres.As for whether there is a Valley God in the world, Huo Guang does not want to correct these people. After all, this feudal superstition has been deeply ingrained, and it is difficult to abolish it in a short time. The most important thing now is to solve the immediate problem.

The woman sat paralyzed on the ground, holding the child in her hands, and she was sobbing. The little boy saw his mother crying, but he didn't know what happened. Why did these people drown himself, and cried together with his mother. We hugged each other and cried bitterly, the crying was full of despair and helplessness.

But the people around them were not ready to let them go because of their crying, but kept urging and roaring, and the person who seemed to be the patriarch even said cruelly, "If you don't let go, we will come hard!" gone."

The woman still didn't want to let go, the patriarch winked to the left and right, and the two men rushed forward to snatch the child from the woman's arms. With shouts, the child was about to be taken from the woman's arms.

She was completely desperate, and she had thought countless times in her heart that if her son was taken away, she would not be alive, and she couldn't let her son be alone on the road. He closed his eyes tightly and struggled with his last bit of strength.

Suddenly it all came to an abrupt end, the snatchers of his child stopped.

Just when the woman opened her eyes suspiciously, and turned her eyes to the two people beside the patriarch, he suddenly discovered that behind those two people, there were two figures he didn't know at all, and it was these two people who didn't know each other. The person who is grabbing the patriarch's thugs.

Because everything happened so suddenly, no one at the scene could react. It was not until the two thugs reacted that they shouted angrily at Wang Yi, "Who are you? Let us go. If you don't let go, your lives will be ruined."
