Chapter 113: Farewell
When he went to visit the village chief's house the next day, Sima Qing got the inside story about this matter from this worried man who seemed to have aged four or five years in a few days.
According to the hurry of Jiuniang and the others when they left, the relationship between this family and Jiuniang's family, and the presence of Shi Shilang, the village head obviously had some guesses about the inside story of this matter, but Sima Qing seemed to be unclear. Therefore, Jiuniang insisted on not using government means to solve the problem, so he had to keep these things in his heart and just do not know.
Killing all six members of the other party's family overnight and erasing all traces made everyone think it was an accident. Who would have guessed that the woman who seemed to be just a bit stubborn had such a vicious method?The village head is the most knowledgeable person in the whole village, and guessing that Jiuniang's previous background may not be reliable, he buried this matter even more in his heart.
However, thinking about the relationship between the head of the household and Jiu Niang's family, the village head also sighed: "Jiu Niang's husband, Shi Qi Lang, you should also know that Xu Ping is his adopted son. When Shi Shi Lang's father was still alive, The child was adopted by a family with the same surname. The winter was too cold that year. The child’s father never returned after he went up the mountain. He hugged him back, and his usual upbringing and clothes are the same as Shiqilang's, and the two grew up together."
Even when he grew up, before Shi Qilang's father passed away, he decided to divide the family, and also divided Xu Ping's house and fields, which was the one that was burned last night. Who in the village would not say anything about Shi Qilang's family? kind.
Xu Ping is also very polite. When Shiqilang's mother was still alive, he often ran up and down to help repair houses and fields. Shiqilang often advised him not to do this. We are brothers, so why should he repay his kindness?Xu Ping just refused, saying that only brothers should take care of their mother.
This is also a good story in the village.
Speaking of this, not only the old village chief who saw these two children grow up sighed, but Sima Qing also felt very uncomfortable. If the other party's previous hospitality was just for repairing the house at Shiqilang's house, they would not be in trouble. If you put the cone you made into it, the scheming is too deep.
Sima Qing suddenly understood why Jiuniang refused to say the person's name directly, but wanted to create such a "fire" that even those who cared about it felt wrong. I can more or less understand her means of revenge, but...
The friendly relationship between the two families lasted until Shiqilang passed away. When Shiqilang was buried, Xu Ping almost got into a fight with Jiuniang. Xu Ping said Jiuniang Kefu and Kemu in front of everyone. It was she who killed Shiqilang's family and said that Shiwulang was just like his mother. If it weren't for that, why would she follow Jiuniang instead of his biological father?
In short, when this incident broke out, not only did the two families no longer interact with each other naturally, but Xu Ping took his biological mother back and cared for him with all his heart, as if he had given up his status as an adopted son of Shi Qilang's family.
Moreover, the quarrel was too loud at that time. Many children in the village, after learning something from the adult's private words, refused to play with Shiwulang anymore.The village chief tried privately to mediate several times, but to no avail. It was Shiqilang's family, and the speed at which the family was ruined was too fast and too evil, so no one could let people think about it.
Knowing how vicious Xu Ping is, Sima Qing still can't bear it. This person is indeed heinous and disgusting. Although Sima Qing doesn't particularly agree with this kind of blood relative revenge, it is still understandable, but Xu Ping's biological mother , his wife and three children should not have participated in the conspiracy, but Jiu Niang killed them together...
It's just that Xu Ping is dead, and Sima Qing has no way of knowing from him where he learned that evil technique, so he can only hide his regret in his heart, and he will finally bid farewell with Florian.
In fact, if possible, Sima Qing still wants to stay in this village for a few more days to find out what the country and dynasty in which the village is located in is like what it is like now, instead of just knowing a little superficially from the villagers. During the discussion, I managed to piece together some uncertain impressions.
The current monarch has been in power for 15 years, and the original prince and queen passed away six years ago. Now the positions of the middle palace and the east palace are vacant. There are more than a dozen adult or near-adult princes, as well as the concubines in the harem. Those two positions were eye-catching, but the emperor never made a statement.
Even the common people know about the battle between the royal families, so it can be seen that the situation must be very bad, but Sima Qing and the others have to leave. Although Sima Qing has an alluring appearance that he can't see, they have just arrived in this village. Jiuniang's family moved out overnight, and Xu Ping's family's massacre, these two major events, really make people feel uneasy...
When they came to the village chief's house before, they felt that the expressions of the villagers they met on the road were a little weird.When people close to Xu Ping went to clean up the funeral for his family one after another, the muttering became louder. Although the beauty is beautiful, it's better to keep a little distance from him.
Sima Qing also felt strange, whether they have crossed now or what is going on, this country, or the world, not only suppressed the luck above other people's heads, making them look very small and unrecognizable, but also Suppressing the strange charm brought by his exercises, and changing a region, without the supply of a large amount of power of faith, Sima Qing's strength has dropped a lot.
Small villages like Xujia Village are relatively closed and conservative. There is no such channel as the Star Network that can quickly receive information and communication, and it is far more difficult to obtain the power of faith than before.
Combining all kinds of factors, it is very difficult for Sima Qing to create as great momentum as Du Dexing in a short period of time.If the predecessors in ancient times had the same difficulty as him when practicing the spiritual path, it is not difficult to understand why there are very few people who can achieve it.
He misses the star network and the optical brain. Why was he able to play online games stably every day before time travel and let himself go, but when he came to the more developed interstellar world, he was forced to disconnect from the Internet from time to time?This feeling is really depressing.
As if sensing Sima Qing's depression, Florian stretched out his hand, wrapped his arms around his shoulders, and advised him softly: "Don't worry too much, no one here can resist my casual blow, At least the security issue isn't a hassle anymore, is it?"
Sima Qing nodded helplessly, he could only take one step at a time now.He lowered his voice and asked Florian, "Did you hear the movement of the mecha or the aircraft?" Florian shook his head solemnly, while Sima Qing could only sigh.
There is not even a mecha, maybe there is no Internet in this place... Thinking of being isolated from the world before leaving, Sima Qing finds it difficult to lift her spirits.Florian patted him on the shoulder and comforted him. Sima Qing cheered up and began to prepare the things she needed to leave Xujiacun.
This small village on the edge of the mountain forest is relatively closed. Just like now, they want to exchange some things for money, such as the dried meat in their hands, but there is no way.
It's not that Sima Qing is boasting, according to the recipes stored in the kitchen toy, the food made by Sima Qing's craftsmanship is very delicious-even though they don't know what kind of animal meat it is, it is non-toxic, delicious, and thorough. Cooked food is safe and nothing to worry about.
It's just that Sima Qing and the others brought out meat, but no one in the village could afford it. Here, except for a small number of people, eating meat is a luxury during Chinese New Year.It is still difficult to exchange things, and it is even more difficult for them to exchange for money. Copper coins are very scarce in the hands of these people.
As for the clothes they were willing to exchange, Florian took a look and turned his head silently.Although this could help them integrate into the local people more quickly, to be honest, it was difficult for Sima Qing to accept this kind of coarse linen clothes, so she had to give up.At least it's comfortable to wear like this.
So Sima Qing and the others, who didn't add any new luggage except for two thick straw mats, embarked on a journey with an unknown destination again.In any case, go to the capital or a nearby big city to see the situation.The customary language and so on here are so similar to Huaxia, Sima Qing always feels that she can finally find the way back based on this clue.
It's just that they didn't waste the time on the road, and they couldn't always look at Florian as he couldn't understand anything and looked more and more out of place. Sima Qing tutored him in Chinese and the characters here while walking.
Although the more he taught Florian, Sima Qing became more guilty, but he still had a very righteous look on his face.Knowing how to speak a language is not enough to teach others to learn it. This involves many aspects, such as grammar, which are key points that are difficult for people who use this language as their mother tongue to perceive.
Fortunately, Florian is a very good student. If you only need to master the most everyday sentences and the contexts in which they are used, such as "thank you", "sorry", "have you eaten?" His pronunciation is pretty standard now.
After leaving Xujia Village, they didn't have to walk for long before they found Xinghua Town, the nearest town to Xujia Village.
It is said that the original name of this place was "Xinhua", but the apricot blossom wine produced later was very famous, and then somehow, it became such a new town name.With this characteristic production, there are many tourists and merchants looking for it specially, and this small town seems to be quite lively.
When Sima Qing was thinking that there should be a pawn shop here, and what else could they pawn in an emergency, she saw a brightly decorated carriage running slowly out of the town, and the people inside lifted the curtain , but immediately called the coachman to rein in the horse, got out of the car and greeted Sima Qing and the others: "Sir, you have also come to Xinghua Town, please come to my house and let me entertain you for a while."
If this person is not the young master they met at Jiu Niang's house, who is it?
