Chapter 480 Hatred for that man.
Amei glanced at her.
There was a trace of uneasiness and suspicion in Amei's eyes, and it took a while before she asked softly, "Is what you said true?"
Mu Xi nodded and said, "Now you are the only one who can communicate with me normally. I can only trust you, and you can only trust me. So, are you willing to choose to trust me?"
Amei looked at the clear and clear eyes of the girl in front of her, and the sea breeze kept blowing in front of her eyes. Amei blinked and said, "Actually, not only the two children in the village chief's family were born with diseases, This is true of many children in the head, some are blind, some are dumb, some are deformed, and few are normal."
This time Mu Xi was completely shocked, and he was stunned for a long time before he asked, "Why is this happening?"
"The old wizard said that it was because of the geographical environment of the Xuanming Sea that they couldn't conceive a complete child." Amei smiled lightly.
Mu Xi stared at her blankly and didn't speak.
"Miss Su doesn't believe it, right?" Amei smiled again and said, "I don't believe it either. Compared to this, I prefer to believe it's a curse."
Mu Xi couldn't believe it anymore, why did she feel that Amei's statement was even more unreliable?
But what Amei said next surprised her: "Miss Su, have you heard of the Infant Spirit Festival?"
Mu Xi shook his head.
"You probably don't know that this is an annual custom in Minghai Village. On this day...the villagers will hunt and kill a lot of baby spirit carp..." Amei shook her head with a smile, and sighed: " At night, there seemed to be countless children crying in the village, but those villagers were very excited. I always felt that those abnormal children were related to the baby spirit carp in Xuanming Sea. This is probably retribution, a curse."
Mu Xi looked at Amei blankly, "What is the origin of the baby spirit carp, has no one investigated it?"
Amei shook her head very calmly and said, "The villagers only know that the baby spirit carp can make them live longer, do you know? I once watched my child's heart ache, and I mustered up the courage to mention this to the old wizard. I know that the abnormality of the children is all because of the baby spirit carp, but no one will believe it, and so does the old wizard. You may not believe it. The old wizard is the longest-lived person in Xuanminghai. I heard that he has already died. I have lived for more than 600 years, and I have been living long by eating the baby spirit carp. When I mentioned it to the old wizard, the old wizard asked me a question, and he said: "If this is a curse of retribution, then they are the ones who eat the baby spirit carp. How can these adults repay the children? "According to the old wizard, the abnormality of the children has nothing to do with the baby spirit carp. But over the years, more and more children have been abnormal since birth, and it is difficult to grow up..."
As she was talking, Amei's eyes suddenly turned red, and she became sad all of a sudden, she shook her head and choked up slightly, and said, "Miss Su, you probably don't understand my feelings. Every day I see two children sulking... Shen Shen looks like that, I wish I could kill them to free them, but I can't bear it, no matter how much I hate that man and this village, but after all, that is my child who was born in October..."
In front of Mu Xi, Amei no longer called the village head "husband", all her eyes showed her hatred for that man.
Mu Xi never thought that there would be such a terrifying true face hidden in the seemingly peaceful and happy Minghai Village...
Infant spirit carp... Abnormal children... Long-lived locals...
Perhaps because she was afraid that the village chief would become suspicious, Ah Mei didn't chat with Mu Xi for too long before going back. When she arrived in the yard, Ah Mei returned to her silent woman appearance. Mu Xi found that Xiao Shi was not there. She also went out to inquire about the news, so she went back to the house first, and did not forget to put the latch on.
She remembered that when she left from Baimei Mountain, Xiao Shi prepared a lot of things, including some important classics.Mu Xi opened the bag and searched for a long time, finally found an ancient book that was close to the East China Sea, and began to search page by page.
The East China Sea is the closest sea to the Xuanming Sea, and the King of the East China Sea is still in Tiangong, so it's impossible that he doesn't even know where there are places outside his territory?
But in fact, Mu Xi couldn't find anything useful after searching for a long time, and was about to doze off, when a small black shadow suddenly appeared outside the house, and knocked on her door lightly, with very light force, Probably Amei's child, Xiaoping, came to knock on the door. Mu Xi put down her books, walked over to open the door, even though she was well prepared, she felt her spine tense because of Xiaoping's gloomy appearance standing there with slanted white eyes, and she opened her eyes. He opened his mouth and asked, "Xiaoping, what's the matter?"
Xiaoping stretched out his hand mechanically, pointed in the direction of the hall, and left.
Mu Xi closed the door and followed the child. It turned out that it was meal time. The table was full of meals, but the village chief was nowhere to be seen. Ah Mei came out with the bowls and chopsticks and said, "He took your friend out and hasn't come back yet. .”
Mu Xi frowned, why hasn't Xiao Shi come back...
It would be fine in normal times, but now in a place like Minghai Village, she already knows that Minghai Village is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface, so she will naturally worry about what happened to Xiao Shi outside...
However, just when she was about to get up to find Xiao Shi, she suddenly heard the village chief's laughter from outside the yard. Mu Xi poked her head out to see that the village chief and Xiao Shi had returned, but Xiao Shi's face was a little pale at that time , and he didn't look energetic, but because he couldn't tell her in front of the village head, he just smiled at her reluctantly, and Mu Xi guessed that Xiao Shi must have encountered something that surprised him .
Afterwards, the atmosphere at the dinner table was very harmonious, with Amei as the interpreter, and several people chatted happily. Of course, in fact, Mu Xi and Xiao Shi were very absent-minded, but they had to perfunctory the village chief.
The village chief also asked about their lifespan, perhaps in Minghai Village, lifespan is the reason for the distinction between strength and weakness.
Mu Xi waved his fingers: "Two hundred years."
The village chief raised his eyebrows, looked at Xiao Shi, and babbled to ask how old Xiao Shi was. Xiao Shi didn't need Amei's translation and said without batting an eye, "Almost seven hundred years old."
Mu Xi almost choked on the food.
The village chief opened his eyes in surprise when he heard Amei's words. After speaking, Amei said flatly, "He said you are older than our old wizard."
Xiao Shi smiled and said, "I'm a god."
After dinner, Xiao Shi was pulled into the house by Mu Xi, and he curled his lips: "Brother Xiao Shi, you can talk freely... If the village chief finds out that you are a mortal, let's see how you end up!"
