Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 772 Smallpox

Just when Liu Xing thought that Zhang Jingxu could not escape this time, Yin En suddenly said: "Brother Ding, don't be impulsive, now if you really want to hurt Zhang Jingxu, then the royal family won't let you off easily. Yes, so please think twice before acting."

Ding Kun smiled coldly, and said indifferently: "What's there to be afraid of? Didn't this kid from Taoyuan Village just say that they don't have a single weapon in Taoyuan Village, and these Taoyuan Villagers may live for the rest of their lives. We can't fight once, so I don't think the old man of the royal family can do anything to us. Besides, we can leave Taoyuan Village directly as long as Zhang Jingxu pays the debt for his father. I don't believe the old man of the royal family will take people away from Taoyuan. The village came to trouble us."

Yin En shook his head and said quickly: "Brother Ding, you can't say that, you must know that although these villagers in Taoyuan Village don't like to fight, they are all peasants who are not lacking in strength, and the whole Taoyuan Village has a lot of energy. There are nearly a thousand people, and there must be at least two or three hundred strong men among them. If there is a real fight at that time, Brother Ding, you will definitely not be able to get any benefits. Besides, there is one more thing I have to tell Ding. Brothers, that means that the elders of the royal family can close the exit of Taoyuan Village at any time. This is also the last means of defense of Taoyuan Village, so unless Brother Ding and you can escape from Taoyuan Village before Zhang Jingxu's body is discovered by the elders of the royal family, you may be forever. I can't leave Taoyuan Village anymore."

   "What? Why didn't you tell us about this in advance?" Zhang Wenbing said with a frown.

Yin En sighed, picked up his sleeves and said, "I can't help myself. When I left Taoyuan Village, I once swore a poisonous oath to the royal family and the others, that is, after I left Taoyuan Village. , I must not tell others about Taoyuan Village, but I like to brag with others after drinking two glasses of wine, so I still told others about the existence of Taoyuan Village, so I received what I deserved punishment."

   Liu Xing took a closer look and found that a very obvious red line appeared on the inside of Yin En's arm.

"When this red line reaches my heart, I will die because of the fire, so I can only come back to the royal family to admit my mistake. Although the royal family has forgiven me, I have to come to Taoyuan Village every month to find the royal family. The old man took the antidote, and at the same time, I also became the subordinate of the old royal family outside Taoyuan Village, and I can never betray the old royal family." Zhang Jingxu said helplessly.

Zhang Jingxu raised his brows and said unexpectedly: "Wait, Yin En, you said that you are the subordinate of the royal family, so the reason why we can enter Taoyuan Village is that the royal family decided at the beginning. "

Yin En nodded and said seriously: "Yes, if it wasn't for the instructions of the royal family, how would I dare to bring Zhang Jingxu and you all into Taoyuan Village? So I will give you a thorough understanding here, now the royal family elder His subordinates must be watching us, as long as Brother Ding really kills Zhang Jingxu, then we will all be doomed."

  Ding Kun hesitated for a while, while Zhang Wenbing let go of Liu Xingdao, "So that's the case, then Yin En, do you know what the royal family wants to do?"

Yin En hurriedly shook his head and said, "I really can't say anything about this, because as long as I say what the royal family thinks, I will die immediately, so I hope you can let me go, Brother Zhang. "

   Zhang Wenbing held Yin En's cuff, pressed the dagger to Yin En's heart and said, "Oh, then who do you think is more important to me and the old royal family?"

   Yoon Eun kept his mouth shut, just kept shaking his head.

   Zhang Wenbing saw that Yin En did not say anything, so he could only let him go.

  Ding Kun saw that Zhang Wenbing had let go of Yin En, so he put away the dagger, but his eyes were still full of hostility towards Zhang Jingxu.

   As for Zhang Jingxu at this time, he looked at Zhang Wenbing and Ding Kun with contempt, as if he was not at all afraid that Zhang Wenbing and Ding Kun would harm him again.

However, Ding Kun and Zhang Wenbing ignored Zhang Jingxu and discussed something together. After all, the current situation is not favorable for them, because although they wanted to avenge Heifengzhai, they did not die with Zhang Jingxu. Intend.

After discussing for a while, Ding Kun said to Zhang Jingxu and Yin En: "Zhang Jingxu, this uncle will keep your head on your neck for a few days, but you shouldn't be too happy, we will have a grudge against Heifengzhai sooner or later. It will be reported, so if you and Yin En dare to tell the elders of the royal family about these things, then we will definitely not make it easier for you."

At this time, Zhang Wenbing also smiled and said to Liu Xing: "Little brother Liu Xing, I believe that although you have been staying in this isolated Taoyuan Village, you should also know what to say and what not to say. , so we hope you can do it well and be cautious in your words and deeds, otherwise you will have to try my dagger."

   Liu Xing nodded quickly, pretending to be frightened.

   As for Zhang Jingxu and Yin En, they finally agreed to Ding Kun's request.

Of course, Ding Kun and Zhang Wenbing also knew that the three of Liu Xing were only compromising on the surface, and they must be thinking about how to get rid of their control, so Ding Kun and Zhang Wenbing let the three of Liu Xing walk half a step ahead of them. , to monitor the every move of Liu Xing and others.

   However, Zhang Jingxu still looked like he didn't care, and kept asking Liu Xing about the customs of Taoyuan Village.

   Soon Liu Xing and others walked to the pond where people "active" every night.

   Liu Xing deliberately took a second look at the pond, and Zhang Jingxu also noticed the strangeness of Liu Xing.

   "Liu Xing, is this pond different from other ponds? I think you seem to care about this pond." Zhang Jingxu asked with a smile.

   After pretending to hesitate for a moment, Liu Xing told Zhang Jingxu and others what he had seen in the past few nights.

   "Is there such a thing?!" Zhang Jingxu said in surprise: "I didn't expect your Taoyuan Village to have such a terrible custom. I thought it was really a paradise!"

On the side of   , Yin En said with a puzzled look: "Brother Liu Xing, don't you see those things in your dreams? I don't think this pond is different from other ponds."

   "I think so too." Ding Kun agreed.

   As Ding Kun and Yin En said, the pond that Liu Xing followed looked no different from other ponds, and the water inside was very clear, allowing people to see everything at the bottom of the pond at a glance.

  The bottom of the pond can be said to be very clean, not even a large gravel can be seen.

  Although Liu Xing can be sure that he did not read it wrong last night, but now he has to admit that he may have made a mistake.

   Of course, Zhang Jingxu and others also know that what Liu Xing said is true, but now they can't find the abnormality of this pond, so Zhang Jingxu took the lead and left the pond, ready to wait for the opportunity to find out.

   So, Liu Xing and others moved on.

After    around Taoyuan Village for more than an hour, Zhang Jingxu was escorted by Zhang Wenbing and Yin En to the old Wang Clan's home, and Liu Xing was threatened by Zhang Wenbing again before leaving.

   After returning home, Liu Xing began to think about a question, that is, should he tell the clan elders what happened today?

To be honest, Liu Xing really didn't expect that his group would "turn against each other" in this mod. The five people belonged to four different camps - as an aborigines of Taoyuan Village, he was very concerned about the existence of Taoyuan Village. Aroused suspicion, and most importantly, witnessed a terrible scene; Zhang Jingxu, as a celebrity in Wuling City, wanted to find out in Taoyuan Village, but was trapped in Taoyuan Village, and there were two traitors beside him who wanted to end it His life; Yin En, as a fisherman controlled by the old royal family, can be said to be in Cao Ying and Han, and he must want to get rid of the control of the old royal family; as for Ding Kun and Zhang Wenbing, their current goal is very Simple, that is to leave Taoyuan Village with Zhang Jingxu, and then deal with Zhang Jingxu.

   Of course, although Liu Xing and others belong to different camps, the main purpose of everyone except Liu Xing is to leave Taoyuan Village, so there is still a reason for everyone to sit together and cooperate.

   However, the character of "Zhang Jingxu" is really troublesome, and Liu Xing suspects that "Zhang Jingxu" is likely to be unwilling to cooperate with Zhang Wenbing and Ding Kun.

   So now that he wants to promote cooperation between all parties, Liu Xing feels that there is only one way, and that is to force the elders of the royal family to act in advance, so that Zhang Jingxu, who finds danger, can have a reason to cooperate with his mortal enemy.

However, if what Yin En said is true, then the next problem is also very troublesome, that is, the entrance and exit of Taoyuan Village are under the control of the royal family, and unless they leave without knowing it, they will definitely He was beaten by the royal family.

   Therefore, Liu Xing knew that if he went to inform a certain clan elder, then Zhang Jingxu's resurrection module would probably fail.

  Thinking of the end, Liu Xing felt that he should wait and see how things change for a while.

   At this moment, Liu's mother suddenly said in the living room: "Liu Xing, the royal family always told you to go to his house."

   Liu Xing frowned, did something happen to Zhang Jingxu?

   Liu Xing hurried to the outside of the old courtyard of the royal family and found that there was no movement in the courtyard. It seemed that Zhang Jingxu, Zhang Wenbing and Ding Kunyu were not dead and the net was broken.

   After heaving a sigh of relief, Liu Xing entered the old royal family's house and was taken to the living room by a subordinate of the old royal family.

   In the living room at this time, Zhang Jingxu and the others were sitting around a round table with the old royal family, and several dishes had already been served on the table.

   As Zhang Jingxu wrote in the small note before, Liu Xing saw several vegetables in the dishes that were introduced to China in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the plates used for serving dishes were also intricately patterned and brightly colored.

   As for the round table, Liu Xing doesn't want to complain.

   "Liu Xing, since Mr. Zhang is willing to recruit you as a guide, you have to entertain Mr. Zhang for me." The old man said with a smile.

   Liu Xing nodded and said respectfully: "The boy will listen to the instructions of the clan elder."

  The old man of the royal family stretched his finger to a seat next to Yin En and said, "Sit down."

   Liu Xing hurriedly walked over and sat down, but did not forget to take the opportunity to observe the situation of Zhang Jingxu and others.

   Worried that Zhang Jingxu would suddenly expose the two of them, Ding Kun sat down next to Zhang Jingxu, while Zhang Wenbing stared at Yin En.

   However, on the surface, Zhang Jingxu and others are not unusual.

   After the banquet, the elders of the royal family kept asking Zhang Jingxu various questions about Wuling City, and Zhang Jingxu answered them fluently.

   "I didn't expect that after so many years, the outside world has become like this. I really hope that I can go and see the scenery outside in my lifetime." The royal family elder suddenly sighed.

   Zhang Jingxu immediately said with a smile: "Old royal family, you are still moving freely now, you can follow me to Wuling City for a walk, and then I will be able to fulfill the friendship of the landlord."

The old royal shook his head and said with some melancholy: "Forget it, on the surface I can go out for a walk, but I can feel that my body is no longer good, if I really want to travel a long distance to Wuling City. , I'm afraid I'll never be able to go back to Taoyuan Village, so I can only thank Mr. Zhang for your kindness here."

Zhang Jingxu thought for a while, and said, "Old royal family, I actually want to ask you a question, that is, now that the world is at peace, your Taoyuan Village can also be reborn to get in touch with the outside world, and then rely on your Taoyuan Village's various specialties. It will definitely improve the standard of living of everyone.”

The old man of the royal family showed a meaningful smile, then shook his head and said: "Mr. Zhang, in fact, you should also know very well that our Taoyuan Village has become a self-contained place and can be completely self-sufficient. Everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, but if it is true If Taoyuan Village is reborn, our Taoyuan Village may never have peace."

   Zhang Jingxu hesitated to say anything, but in the end he could only nod his head and say nothing.

"Okay, let's not ask this question again, and I also hope that after you leave our Taoyuan Village, you will never mention our Taoyuan Village to others, and it is best not to come to our Taoyuan Village again." I wanted to say something more, but suddenly a chill came.

   Liu Xing, seeing this situation, quickly stepped forward and asked with concern: "Old royal family, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

  The old man of the royal family waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's alright, it's alright, I've suddenly had a headache and fatigue in the past two days, maybe it's because I'm old."

   Liu Xing nodded, but he had some calculations in his heart.

  The royal family got old with smallpox!

  As a medical student, Liu Xing knows that smallpox is one of the oldest infectious diseases, and symptoms such as headache, fatigue, and chills will appear in the early stage of the disease.

   More importantly, when Liu Xing was close to the royal family elder, he saw that the royal family elder had a rash on his forehead and cheeks!
