Chapter 13: old woman 13
Ning Qiu said solemnly: "Our village is being targeted, and some people want to poison our village."
It was big, red all over, and it was still writhing when it was clamped.
"What kind of worm is this, it's disgusting." Liu Zhu rubbed his arm, and after a few more glances, he was barely able to adapt, "But you just said that someone poisoned our village, What's going on here? Our Sanwan Village is full of ordinary people. To poison the whole village is to destroy the hearts of the whole family. Who is so vicious!"
When it comes to the back, he is so angry that his eyes widen. Even though he is old, his fists clenched in anger look very powerful. He knows who is poisoning. , he will be beaten to death for this old life.
Maybe at the beginning, Liu Zhu would doubt Ning Qiu's words, but now the facts are in front of you. This is not lying at all.
"How do I know who it is? It's the village chief's responsibility to investigate who did it." Ning Qiu glanced at the worm and crushed it on the ground into a pool of blood, and the ground suddenly took a long time. There was a very subtle sizzling sound.
How do you know? This is really what you said someone is going to harm our village? Sister, you can't keep hiding it any longer."
Suddenly, he had a flash of light, "Could it be that the origin of these bugs has something to do with the four wild boars brought back today? No, no, or it is related to wild boar blood."
The more he thought about it, the more he felt right, otherwise the old lady wouldn't be so nervous just now.
Ning Qiu stood up and gave him a look, Liu Zhu could see it clearly, it meant "not too stupid".
The poison is very strong. If it is not rescued within a quarter of an hour, it will definitely die, even if it is an elixir, it is useless. Therefore, its name is called a quarter of an hour, it looks like a maggot, but its size is much smaller. "
"A single worm is fine, but once the male worm and the female worm are together, the reproduction speed is extremely fast. In half a column of incense, hundreds or even thousands of them can be reproduced. "
Under Ning Qiu's explanation, Liu Zhu's scalp is numb.
No wonder there are so many bugs in the well in a short period of time. Even if they are killed one by one, they cannot keep up with the growth rate of the bugs.
"Is there any way to eliminate it? If it goes on like this, we can only move the village, but this is impossible. We have lived here for generations, and we can't move." Liu Zhu frowned, he couldn't figure out if he wanted to break his head, who wanted to kill their entire family.
Ning Qiu nodded slightly, "Of course there is a way. Just let me know that tonight the whole village will come to the ancestral hall for a meeting."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Liu Zhu heaved a sigh of relief, and the next second was puzzled, "Sister, how do you know these things?"
Everyone knows everything, he knows exactly what kind of person the old lady is. These things may not even those old doctors know, how could she know.
"I saw it in a book before." Ning Qiu made an excuse at random. As for whether she believed it or not, she didn't care.
It was said that she was here for the elderly, and she also recognized it as an elderly person, but she didn't expect so many things, which made her a little angry.
Although there are still doubts, Liu Zhu is also half convinced.
Before his death, Brother Zhang was also good at writing and reading a good book. If it weren't for the fact that the old Zhang family ran out of money at that time, he would definitely continue to study, instead of putting down his pen and working in the fields.
As the wife of Brother Zhang, the old lady, even if she did not know a single character before marriage, but after getting married for nearly ten years, she will always learn something.
Everyone is busy, Ning Qiu can't find anyone to arrange things, so she can only do it herself.
She picked up the butcher knife and turned to look at Liu Zhu, "Go get a few jars of salt and sprinkle it around the four wild boars and the well, wrapping it in a circle."
Liu Zhu quickly took out two jars of salt from the warehouse.
The ancestral hall is not big or small, but there is a large warehouse and cellar, which are full of all kinds of food, and the key is in the hands of each village chief, passed down from generation to generation .
A large-scale war broke out a few decades ago, and many people starved to death. At that time, Sanwan Village was also withered, and there were less than twenty people left.
Then it got better, and the granary and cellar shared by the whole village were built. A few communal land was freed up, and all the grains that were planted were collected into the granary. If it is full, it is sold, and the money obtained from the sale is used to buy other things, salt is one of them.
Once new grain comes in every year, the old grain will be taken out and distributed to the whole village.
According to Ning Qiu's statement, Liu Zhu sprinkled salt all over the surrounding area, and saw that the pig-killing knife flexibly turned around in Ning Qiu's hand, and then quickly and accurately cut the knife After wiping their necks, long and deep bloodstains appeared on the necks of the three wild boars, slowly leaving behind a bit of thick pig blood, which converged into a pool on the ground.
What made Liu Zhu's scalp tingle even more was that he seemed to smell blood. The bugs that were squirming on the rock wall of the well began to go crazy, and soon crawled out of the well densely. It rushed towards the **** beach and tangled in piles, and many climbed directly into the wild boar. Seeing the pig's skin bulging slightly, and something moving inside, it was scary to watch.
"...How did you do it, without changing your face." Liu Zhu turned his head uncomfortably, not wanting to see a scene that made him nauseous.
The old lady is indeed an old lady, she can keep calm no matter what time it is!
"They're afraid of salt!"
Suddenly, a scream came from behind.
"Ah!"
The two looked back and found that the second daughter-in-law was standing behind them, her face pale and staring at the squirming bugs, she immediately covered her mouth with her hands, turned around and retched.
Liu Zhu, a big man, felt disgusting when he saw it, let alone a weak woman, she was considered strong without fainting.
Several strong men came back soon, each carrying a handful of firewood on their shoulders.
Seeing that there are piles of worms in a circle of salt, and the original color of the four wild boars has turned black and purple, their eyes are widened.
Zhang Youfu put down the firewood on his shoulders and asked in confusion, "Mother, why are there so many maggots, and they are not white."
Sure enough, the first time everyone saw it was to see a bug like a quarter of an hour as a maggot.
Ning Qiu did not explain, and said directly: "You throw all the firewood on it, and then set a fire to burn."
"Oh, oh, good." It's not easy for everyone to ask anything, just follow what Ning Qiu said.
Until the raging fire was burning, everyone was still at a loss. It was a quiet life before, but the danger was suddenly caught off guard.
Especially after Liu Zhu's explanation, everyone clenched their fists, their faces were full of anger, and a few grumpy men walked around the yard with their hands on hips trying to calm down Furious, he couldn't help but punched the wall in the end, leaving a fist mark.
The vicious heart wants them all to cut off their children and grandchildren. If this revenge is not repaid, how will they face their ancestors after death.
Standing beside the still burning fire, the reflection of the rushing flames flickered in their eyes, the heat coming from their faces did not make them take a step back, and everyone was invariably angry.
"Mother, do you have any clues?" Zhang Yougui turned to look at Ning Qiu and directly told him that Mother had something to think about this matter.
The person who spoke was Zhang Quan, he clapped his chest and said loudly: "Yes, aunt, if it wasn't for your discerning eyes and pearls to discover this matter, it is very likely that all of us in the village We can't make it through today, and there are no descendants to collect the corpses. Now if you have any idea, just say, we have nothing else, but our strength is enough. No matter who it is, who dares to call our Sanwan Village's attention, even if If you don't die, I will also find people out!"
What he said directly indicated that he would listen to Ning Qiu's arrangement. First, it was because Ning Qiu discovered the poisonous insects, and he knew the solution. A little more respect.
Incisively and vividly.
"Sister, if you have an idea, just say it, and I will cooperate fully. Since someone wants to exterminate our entire village, this plan can't be done today, and there will definitely be another plan. I am an old man. It doesn't matter if the bones are dead, but there are still many little babies in the village, that is our future, they must not have an accident." Liu Zhu said excitedly, with tears in his eyes, almost full of tears.
We genocide."
Liu Zhu turned sideways and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his old hands, feeling very uncomfortable.
He just went to see the butcher's condition, a quarter of an hour has passed, but there is still no sign of waking up, it proves that he can't be saved, and his heart is full of keep falling.
The white-haired person sends the black-haired person, I feel uncomfortable.
At the same time, this is also a danger signal. If there is no way to find out who started it, other people, even all the villagers, will fall in the future.
