The reborn concubine becomes a concubine

Chapter 387
The wine and meat of the wealthy family stinks, and there are frozen bones on the road. This situation can't help but make people embarrassing.

The deceased was the eldest, so Da Ying found a roll of bamboo mat to roll up the child, and found a relatively clean place to rest, and calmed him down a bit, before asking about the whole story.

It turned out that the woman's surname was Lu, and she belonged to a family at the foot of the Lujia Village. Her husband made a living by blacksmithing for generations. "My husband's name is Lu Ping, and he is an honest blacksmith. That day he went to the mountain to cut firewood as usual, but he never came back. Not even the dead body was found..."

"Does Brother Lu have any enemies?" Yan Yunxi asked.

"We are all ordinary people, and we have never had any enemies." After she finished speaking, she began to cry again, "Not long after the child's father disappeared, there was a flood, and our village was flooded. It's all gone... My child and I escaped with great difficulty, but unexpectedly... my great treasure..."

"Sister Lu, according to what you said, your husband probably had an accident in the mountains. If that's the case, why do you want us to save your husband?" Yan Yunxi didn't understand why she went to rescue her husband and went up the mountain It is not uncommon to have accidents when chopping wood. It is possible to encounter a beast attack, or accidentally fall into a valley while walking.

"No, he's definitely not dead yet." Shaking her head, Lu Shi firmly rejected Yan Yunxi's statement.

"Oh why?"

"In the beginning, I also thought it was more ominous, but then I found out that the child's father has come back." Sister Lu recalled some fragmentary fragments. Occasionally, she would find newly hunted rabbits and pheasants at the door, as well as her She likes to eat a kind of wild fruit on the mountain, which her husband often picks for her.

After things like this happened several times, Lu Shi began to wonder if Lupine had come back, because none of these things could be done by others, but for some reason, Lupine just didn't show up.

"I also went to the mountain to look for him, but I couldn't find him. Then they said that the mountain was haunted, and some people who went up didn't come back. It was also rumored that the government was going to close the mountain, so I didn't go..." Sometimes, she couldn't help it. I kept thinking, could it be that my husband had turned into a ghost, otherwise why didn't I come back to see her.

So Lu suspected that her husband was locked up, or was threatened and refused to go home, or even a ghost trapped him in the mountain, "If my husband can't come back, then what's the point of my life... ..."

"What's the name of being haunted?" Unexpectedly, she could smell something like this, so Cui Shiyan struck while the iron was hot.

"I'm not very clear about the specifics. I heard from the hunters that the sound of iron chains and roars can be heard in the mountains at night, but no one was found. It's weird."

Yan Yunxi: "What's the name of that mountain?" It seems that they need to investigate.

Lu Shi: "Because it looks like a bull's head, we all call it Niutoushan."

Cui Shiyan: "Is that place far from here?"

Lu Shi nodded, "It's quite far away."

This is even more strange, Yan Yunxi looked around at the refugees, "Are you all together? Why did you all escape here? Didn't the local county magistrate open a warehouse to release food?"

Speaking of this, Lu's face became even more bleak, "Oh, you don't know, they are simply bullying..."

It turned out that after a few days of heavy rain, several villages at the foot of Niutou Mountain were flooded. The flood water poured down from the mountain. The continuous heavy rain for several days had caused the river to swell a lot. Slowly, the houses were flooded and the roofs began to flood. Water leakage, when everyone realized that the situation was not good, they could only choose to flee.

Although the situation in the town is better, they also need to protect themselves. In this weather, the food in the field is soaked, and the refugees have nowhere to go. They all gather at the gate of the county government office. The county magistrate is a good official, but the county government's granary was emptied within a few days, so he had to lead everyone to Zhizhou Yamen, hoping that Zhizhou could help.

"The county magistrate said that Zhizhou had promised to help us, and then he went back, but..."

"But what?"

"Zhizhou is willing to help, but he has conditions." At this time, an old man sitting next to him also spoke, and his words were full of vicissitudes.
