reborn as husband and wife

Early the next morning, after the two of them had dinner, He Chenxu suggested that Su Qingqi go out with him to have a look at the land he bought a few days ago, and ask Su Qingqi to give him an opinion. For He Chenxu's trust, he expressed gratitude to This man appreciates and likes more and more.

This is the second time to set foot on this bustling street, but this time the direction is different. According to He Chenxu, the newly purchased land is at the foot of a mountain, which is a bit far away, so he hired a carriage.

In the carriage, the two sat side by side, maybe the road was bumpy, the carriage bumped badly, or maybe they had never been in a carriage, Su Qingqi leaned against He Chenxu from time to time due to inertia, He Chenxu didn't mind, but Su Qingqi did not There is a slight embarrassment.He silently moved to the side, trying to increase the distance between each other, just moved a little, He Chenxu said, "Qingqi, please sit over here, you have never been in a carriage before and you are not used to it, lean on me and point." So as not to bump into it," said Su Qingqi, pulling him closer.

I don't know how long it took, but the groom outside shouted, "You two masters! We're here!"

Su Qingqi's dizzy mind was awakened by the shock. After getting off the carriage, He Chenxu handed him clear water. The cool and sweet water flowed into his throat. The coolness awakened the chaotic nerves. He took the water bag in one stroke as a gesture of gratitude .

He Chenxu waved his hand, "Let's go." After walking for a while, he saw an abandoned village. The houses inside were dilapidated, and it was estimated that no one had lived there for thirty years.

Su Qingqi asked uncertainly, "This is what you mean?" At the same time, he looked around, "This village has been abandoned for so many years, and it is at the foot of the mountain, and there are no people around it. It is far away from the town and the road is rough," he continued. Walking forward, the high peaks are hidden in the white mist, and the shape is so hazy that you can't see clearly. You can vaguely see splashing waterfalls and lush green trees in the mountains. "This mountain is beautiful."

He Chenxu nodded, "It's here. This village was very lively before, but a strange thing happened suddenly more than [-] years ago. People in the village, men, women, old and young, gradually contracted diseases, and many people died. At first, some people said it was a plague, but the doctors in the city said it was not. When I came here, it was said that the village was cursed, and everyone in the village would die in the end, so everyone asked how to resolve the disaster. The Taoist said that they could only move out of the village, so some young people in the village left, some old people I don't want to leave, so I can only wait to die in the village. After a few years, there will be no one in this village." He Chenxu pointed to the mountain in front of him, "The Taoist said that this mountain is the root of the curse, and he also said that a story."

Walking to a stone, He Chenxu cleaned up the things on the stone, pulled Su Qingqi to sit down, and continued, "He said that there was a fairy in the sky who fell in love with a mortal woman, and this mortal woman is the life girl. In this village, in order to meet the woman every day, the god asked the Jade Emperor to say that he wanted to go down to the lower world to be the mountain god of this mountain, and the Jade Emperor agreed. But when the time between the god and the woman became longer, the god Discovering that the woman has gradually changed, by chance, the immortal witnessed the woman he loved deeply having an affair with another man. He was furious, massacred the whole village, and cast a curse, as long as the woman at the foot of the mountain The people living in the village will slowly suffer from strange diseases and die unexpectedly. The Jade Emperor learned that it was too late to take back the curse, and finally the curse disappeared after a hundred years, and the curse reappeared after a hundred years."

Su Qingqi thought for a while, and said, "What does this Taoist mean, that the curse appeared more than 30 years ago?"

He Chenxu nodded, "Well, that's what he said."

"Is there ever a record of this kind of strange disease in the whole village, and, do the old people in the village know this story?" Su Qingqi frowned.

"The Taoist said that the Jade Emperor sealed everyone's memories so as not to disturb people's hearts, so no one knows the story," He Chenxu smiled helplessly.

"This is simply nonsense, and those people believe it?" Su Qingqi was a little speechless. I really don't know if those people are simple or stupid. The principle of seeking a doctor when you are sick has not changed since ancient times. What kind of Taoist priest should you look for?

He Chenxu rubbed his chin, "When those people in the village left, the strange disease disappeared."

"Huh? Leaving the village and getting sick?" Su Qingqi turned to look at He Chenxu and asked, "The Taoist explained that it was because of a curse?"

"That's right, the Taoist said that leaving the cursed place will save you, and those who left were indeed saved." He Chenxu nodded.

Su Qingqi stared into He Chenxu's eyes, and replied flatly, "So, what's your opinion on this matter?" The hands under the sleeves were clenched, loosened and then clenched again.

"Ridiculous!" He Chenxu stood up and uttered these words, and Su Qingqi heaved a sigh of relief.

"First of all, my position on the theory of ghosts and gods does not exist. I am an atheist, so the words of Taoist priests are not within my scope of thinking. Secondly, I want to make sure that those who left the village back then survived. ?" Su Qingqi also stood up, looking at the mountain ahead with her hands behind her back.

"Well, I'm sure." He Chenxu looked at Su Qingqi with great interest, with a serious expression, and his brows showed confidence and calmness. From the first time he saw him until now, most of his expressions seemed to be indifferent, occasionally slightly hooked. She pursed her lips in thanks.Yes, not to be surprised by favor or shame, calm and calm, thoughtful, very good.

"Then, get rid of ghosts and gods and judge things according to facts. If you live in the village, you will get sick, but if you leave, you will be fine. It can only show that there is a problem in this village. At the same time, analyze the cause of the disease. The agent of getting sick is food, so, generally speaking, I think there is a certain kind of plant in this village or on that mountain, and this kind of plant is very common, so people in the village will pick it as daily food, then This kind of food is ingested in the villagers' bodies more, and some villagers may transport some to the city. It is not ruled out that some people in the city like to eat too much, but there are no strange diseases in the city. The reason may be that the food itself has no The problem is that it is poisonous because it is mixed with some things. Look at that," Su Qingqi pointed to a small stream in front of him, walked over, and continued, "Food may be transported to various places, in an area where there is no shortage of water. There is no need for transportation. Generally speaking, people rely on water to eat water. This stream flows down from the mountain in front. Seeing that there are some things at the bottom of the stream, it should be carried with it when it flows down from the mountain. Assuming this material and that kind of plant The mixture is poisonous. Drinking this kind of water and eating this kind of food all the year round is equivalent to drinking chronic poison every day, and strange diseases will appear. Most of the people who leave the village are young people who have a shallow intake of toxins, and their bodies will adjust later. Elderly people, if this continues, they will die from strange diseases."

He Chenxu patted Su Qingqi on the shoulder, and laughed loudly, "Qingqi, Qingqi, you are really capable, yes, what you said is completely true." Saying this, he walked forward with Su Qingqi, preparing to go up the mountain.

"When I was young, I met a tall man who lived in my house for a while. At that time, he told me many stories. This is one of them." He Chenxu smiled as if remembering something interesting.

Su Qingqi asked, "Thirty years later, it is impossible for no one to doubt this matter. Why is the village still empty?"

"Because most people still think this is an ominous place, and some people who fear gods would never dare to offend the gods. By the way, the story has not been finished yet. Later, the Jade Emperor sealed the god in this mountain, so Almost no one comes to this village or this mountain anymore." He Chenxu said while walking, "Actually, this mountain is very beautiful, but it's a pity that no one cares about it."

Su Qingqi nodded, it was indeed a pity, they had already walked a distance on the mountain at this time, looking around, the red leaves were rustling under the blowing of the wind, the warm sunlight fell on the face through the branches, warm warm.The two leisurely walked and stopped on the mountain, Su Qingqi had an illusion that the two of them came to visit the mountains and rivers, but no, the image of the noble son He Chenxu gradually disappeared, replaced by a bold and unrestrained chivalrous man.
