Chapter 003
The little girl was born and grew up in this village. Chuning thought she would have a name like Da Ya or Xiao Hua, but unexpectedly, this girl's name was really up to par.
Her father's surname is Huo, and her name is Wanqing - a name that is so ladylike that she doesn't look like a bandit at all.
In order to facilitate the relationship, Chuning shamelessly began to kidnap the little girl, talking about Miss Qing and shutting her mouth about Xiao Qinger, and from the mouth of Miss Qinger, she learned some information that she wanted to know, such as some information about this era. History, such as the origin of Zizhu Village.
Of course, Qing'er did not tell Chuning all these things. Qing'er also had only a half-knowledge of some things, so Chuning had to speculate based on her few words. Therefore, Chuning only had a preliminary understanding of many things and had to verify them personally. can be used as a quasi-number.
However, what made Chuning happy was that although this little girl named Qing'er was still young and lived in the den of thieves, she was one of the few intellectuals in the den of thieves. Because of this, she was able to tell Chuning these things about the outside world, otherwise, Chuning would live in this den of thieves for a long time with his eyes darkened, and maybe one day he was unlucky and would gain reputation for others.
Besides Qing'er, there are four other intellectuals in this den of thieves. Chuning made a ranking in his heart. The one who ranked first was Wang Yuande, who was said to have been a teacher; the second was Qing'er's father. Huo Yunshu, the former second head of Zizhuzhai, is said to be able to write, count and fight.
No.3 is Qing'er. These days, Chu Ning has nothing to do when he is recovering from his injuries. He thought about her intentionally or unintentionally, and found that this child has a serious problem with subjects and is extremely sensitive to numbers, especially questions related to money. The addition, subtraction, multiplication and division can't help her at all.
No.4 is Qing'er's younger brother Huo Yu, who is nine years old and is studying "Poetry".And No. 5 is the head of Zizhuzhai, Chu Ning, the older sister of the original owner, Chu Rou, who can count silkworm cocoons after all, although counting by basket.
As for Chuning herself, she never considered herself a member of Zizhuzhai from the bottom of her heart. She always felt that time travel was just a dream, and when she woke up one day, she would still be the same person she used to be.
Every time Zizhuzhai is mentioned, Qing'er will mention the past and tell Chuning about the time when Zizhuzhai was the most powerful. It is said that at that time, there were five hundred people gathered in the whole village, and it was called Qinglongzhai together. The two most powerful dens of thieves.
After careful questioning, I found out that these 500 people were not all strong men, but they were all together with their families, the old, the weak, women, the sick and the disabled... For such a group of mobs who dare to call them strong, Chuning, as a person who is surrounded by various Film and television novels often gather millions of people who are baptized, expressing some unacceptable.
However, although the cottage is small, there are many troubles, and the biggest trouble is Qinglong Village, another den of thieves.
It is said that colleagues have feuds with each other, and this is very true. Chu Yidao, the former head of Zizhu Village, and the current head of Qinglong Village, have already become enemies with each other when they were still stirring the spoons in the same pot.
It is said that the original reason for this enmity was that when the two old masters shared their benefits after a certain rampage, the old master Chu took an extra bite.
Just because of this mouthful of food, the two old bosses fought from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, each raised a banner, gathered a den of thieves, and pitted each other countless times.
This time Chu Ning was so seriously injured, apart from her own "doing", a considerable part of the reason was because of this old enmity.
The reason why she is said to be "pretentious" is because she is too pretentious--the original owner of this body competed with her sister Chu Rou, and after losing, she cheated and had to compete again, but Chu Rou is the lord of a village after all, and she worries every day. Tired, how can I have time to coax people to play?So, the original owner was angry!He ran out of the village to hunt with two followers, and met people from Qinglong Village, his old enemy, and was beaten until his head was blown.
Originally, everyone in the village thought that Chuning would not be able to make it through, but who would have thought that after lying unconscious on the bed for more than ten days, she unexpectedly recovered her life from the gate of hell, even though she said she had lost her previous life. Memories and temperament seem to have changed, but in general, many people who care about her in the village are relieved.
Amidst Qing'er's gossip, Chuning stayed in her room for more than ten days, until a hunched old village man came over to replace the herbs on her head, and Qing'er was happy Announced that he could be released from prison.
Speaking of which, it is still mid-September, but the weather in this world has gradually turned cold, and in this den of thieves, there are no brocade clothes and wide sleeves in novels and TV dramas. In Qing'er's astonished eyes, she put down the third piece in her hand after endured and endured, thinking of her previous life from the bottom of her heart.
At that time, although Chuning often shouted about the bad air and global warming, she had done a lot of things like wearing single clothes or short skirts to show off her style in November. Who would have thought that she would wear them in such a place now? Come, a world where there is no cotton cloth... Can she survive this winter?
With these self-pity, Chuning followed Qing'er, finally stepped out of the room for the first time, and saw the first glimpse of this brand new world.
Although it is a bit cold today, it is really a good weather. The sun has already risen high, the clear and white clouds are floating thousands of miles away, surrounded by valleys in the distance, towering green mountains, towering ancient trees, criss-cross streams under the trees, and luxuriant grass, just like a A fairyland of Taoyuan isolated from the world.
For the first sight of this world, Chuning saw it from a distance to a near one, so she was quite satisfied, as if she were going out for a trip to see the scenery of the mountains and fields, and to be immersed in the aura of the plants and trees.
She slowly retracted her gaze from a distance, and then saw a large area of purple bamboo forest outside the stockade, saw the wooden stockade fence, and saw the houses with low walls and low eaves—these houses had no plan at all, and were all made of adobe. Or the stone wall, with holes of different sizes everywhere on the mottled wall. I don’t know if it’s because of disrepair or a back door deliberately left for mice.On the low wall, some houses are covered with a thin layer of thatch, and some houses are built with high-end and elegant stone slabs... All in all, Chuning does not think that these houses can play the role of shelter from wind and rain, nor does he think that These houses are safe to live in.
In the open spaces in front of and behind these houses, many people are busy. Some are picking cocoons in bamboo dustpans, some are boiling water in a large pot on a muddy earthen stove, and some are reeling with a wooden reeling cart. Silk……
No matter men, women, old or young, they are all doing what they can do or what they can do without force. Corresponding to their hard work, everyone is disheveled and skinny. Everyone is covered with clothes and patches. patch.
Poverty and dilapidation - this is Chuning's initial and deepest impression of Zizhu Village.
"Ah! The Second Master has come out!"
"Is the second head's injury healed?"
"It's very windy over there, the second master, come over and warm up by my stove, don't get cold..."
……
Chuning had only taken a few steps out of the door when he was seen by busy people outside, who greeted and cared one after another, and these sincere greetings and caring almost gave Chuning the illusion—is this really a fake village?According to the legend, the thieves and bandits in the cottage were vicious, eating meat and drinking heavily, why the bandits here have a harder life than the refugees?
With such thoughts in mind, Chuning imitated the etiquette of those ancient costume TV dramas in his memory, smiled and cupped his fists in thanks, and sat beside a cocoon-cooking stove amid the eyes and care of everyone who didn't know whether it was surprise or strangeness. A three or four-year-old child took over the job of adding dry firewood to the clay stove.
The person in charge of this stove is a woman in her 40s. While watching the situation in the cauldron, she is reeling silk at the side. She can also spare time to instruct Chuning to pay attention to the heat, and chat with Chuning from time to time. After a few words, Chuning found out that she was a widow named Sun with her husband's family name. Her husband died that night more than ten years ago, and she had a son named Sun Xing. He was 17 years old this year. Ning's former playmate.
Since Chu Ning woke up, he had seen several people in the village, but he didn't have any impression of that Sun Xing, so he chatted with Mrs. Sun for a few more words before he realized that the original owner of this body was besieged by bandits in Qinglong Village At that time, she let her playmates Sun Xing and He Wu escape first, and she kept the rest, and faced the siege of seven or eight people in Qinglongzhai alone, killed one, injured two, and finally escaped Come back, so, when Sun spoke, she was full of gratitude, and Chu Ning felt ashamed when she heard it, and couldn't explain that she was not the original Chu Ning, so she kept laughing and said that it should be so, but she thought in her heart, In addition to "making", the original owner also has some merits.
Qing'er is a hardworking girl. She was helping Sun's silk reeling, and while listening to Chu Ning and Sun's chatting, she inserted a sentence or two from time to time, and saw all of Chu Ning's words and deeds. Looking at it, she couldn't help feeling a little emotional in her heart. She felt that the Erdangjia had changed a lot since she woke up. Whether it was words, deeds or behavior, they were very different from before. Even when she cried, she always covered her face with a wet cloth, There was no sound.
You know, the former second-in-chief was never willing to get involved in these jobs. Apart from wielding guns and clubs all day long, he just pestered the first-in-chief, not to mention chatting with the villagers in such a friendly manner, it was just a matter of words. They rarely talk to people.
Qing'er doesn't know whether Chu Ning's change is good or bad, she only knows that the current second boss is much easier to get along with than before. Several silk reeling women nearby were chatting enthusiastically, asking them how to choose silk cocoons, how to cook silk cocoons, how to reel silk, and how to weave silk.
Obviously, these women liked Chuning's transformation very much, and they all happily answered Chuning's questions, but when it came to weaving silk, they all became silent, and this sudden silence , also mixed with obvious sentimentality.
Seeing this, Chu Ning knew that he had asked something he shouldn't have asked, so he could only talk about it, trying to resolve the sentiment, and asked, "Where did Chu Rou go? Where did those two boys, Sun Xing and He Wu go? The Lord has been out for so long, and I don't see them coming to care about..."
He Wu is another playmate of the original owner of this body. He often takes Chuning up and down the mountain and down the river with Sun Xing.
"The first leader took his brothers up the mountain to pick cocoons, and Sun Xing and He Wu went out with bows and arrows. They presumably wanted to hunt some wild game and come back to replenish the second leader's health."
Answering Chuning's voice came from behind, Chuning put down the firewood in his hand, turned around and saw a man who was over the age, this is the only decently dressed man Chuning has seen so far in this village Man—his clothes, though old, were clean and unpatched.
Seeing this man, men, women and children all around greeted him with smiles, and many children rushed over directly, pulling his hand and playing tricks: "Mr. Huo, Mr. Huo, where is caramel? You promised Where is the one who brought us caramel? Where is it?"
"Father, you're back?" Qing'er put down her work, stepped forward to take a burden from his shoulders, and led the children away with a smile, taking the time to introduce to Chu Ning: "Second master, this It's my dad."
In fact, Chu Ning already knew his identity the moment he saw him. Huo Wanqing's father - Huo Yunshu, ranked second among the five intellectuals in Zizhu Village.
Huo Yunshu's brows are soft, with a bit of literati's elegance. It doesn't look like a difficult person to get in touch with, but there is always an awkwardness in Chu Ning's heart. She always feels that she is incompatible with this world. For her, it is like an NPC in an online game, which lacks a sense of reality, which prevents her from in-depth contact with the idea of communication.
However, Chuning forgot that NPCs can also increase their favorability. Qing'er's companionship and care over the past ten days has already increased her favorability to a very high level, and has already occupied a place in her heart.
For example, at this moment, Qing'er just looked at Chuning with full expectation, and Chuning immediately gave up the entanglement in her heart, stood up and clapped her hands together, saying, "I met Uncle Huo!"
"There is a way to gain wisdom through suffering. I didn't expect our second leader to understand etiquette after suffering." Huo Yunshu smiled gently, and after joking with Chuning, he asked Qing'er to put the burden, and told Chu Ning Ning Dao: "Is the second master free? How about walking a few steps with Uncle Huo?"
Huo Yunshu was wearing a straight skirt and a half-arm shirt. His long hair was tied neatly on the top of his head with a wooden hairpin. His steps were steady and powerful. At first glance, no matter in temperament or imposing manner, he was Chu Ning. Among the people she met these days, she was the most outstanding one. Even though she had met so many high-ranking people in the business and political circles, she felt from the bottom of her heart that few people could compare to Huo Yunshu in these two aspects.
But, how could such a person settle down in this poor and shabby den of thieves?
While thinking about this question, Chuning followed Huo Yunshu's pace, passed by the dilapidated huts, and came to the middle of the village, the only courtyard house with a thick grass roof.
Apparently, someone often came to clean the yard, and it looked very tidy. Inside were old wooden machines. After thinking for a while, Chuning realized that these machines should be spinning wheels for weaving silk.
"These spinning wheels were all made by Mrs. Chu when my wife was still there. Although they looked rough, they really brought us a good life." Huo Yunshu fell silent as he spoke. Yes, it seems to be reminded of those old days, so there is a nostalgic look between the corners of his eyes and brows.
"At that time, Madam was here, teaching those ingenious women to weave silk."
"I still remember that at the beginning, Madam picked more than [-] people from the village, but unfortunately, only a dozen or so people really learned how to weave silk."
When Chu Ning bent down to look at these spinning wheels, Huo Yunshu sighed and talked about the old people related to these spinning wheels: "Oh, it's a pity that no one in the village knows how to weave silk anymore."
The ins and outs of Qinglong Village, in fact, Chu Ning already knew something from Qing'er's words. She knew that the wife Huo Yunshu mentioned was the mother of her body. , had to ask perfunctorily: "Have all those women who can weave silk left?"
"They... were all snatched away by other cottages." Huo Yunshu turned around without a sound, looked at Chuning's slightly frowning brows, and suddenly had an idea in his heart, hesitated for a moment, and then tried He said: "Qinglong village was originally divided into seven, but two died, four in Heihu village, three in Shiyan village, two in Taoling village, a total of 16 people, all of whom were taken away."
"Take them all?"
Sixteen living people, all of them were snatched away together?
"At the same time?" Chuning asked.
"Yes! At the same time." Huo Yunshu said: "It was raining that night, these weavers were resting in their homes, the leader of Qinglong Village rushed into the village with a group of people, and robbed them all."
"Uncle Huo wants to say, did those villages have a premeditated plan?" After speaking, Chuning paused, then thought again, and said, "It was raining that day, and it was night, and the silk weavers didn't gather together. At the same time, it is not easy for Qinglong Village to snatch away all the living people in the chaos! So... it should be that someone betrayed Zizhu Village, or they planted eyes and ears in the village to steal the faces of these women. And the location of the house was identified."
As soon as Chu Ning finished speaking, he saw Huo Yunshu looking at her in surprise, coughed, and said awkwardly, "Uncle Huo, did I say something wrong?"
"No, no, no! What the second master said is exactly what I have guessed all these years." Huo Yunshu said excitedly: "It's just that I didn't expect that the second master could figure things out in such a short period of time... Before , I have never mentioned this to the two masters."
"Why?" Chu Ning couldn't help asking after hearing the words: "There are ghosts in the village, shouldn't Uncle Huo tell Chu Rou to take precautions?"
Chu Ning didn't agree with her current status, she blurted out and called Chu Rou by name, and didn't treat her as a sister at all.
Fortunately, Huo Yunshu didn't show any strange expression anymore, as if he had gotten used to it, he just explained: "I have discussed with Brother Chu about the inside ghost in the village, and I spent a lot of energy to investigate it at that time, but Cha Ke didn't Nothing. Now after many years, although the village is run by the head of the family, but with the character of the head of the house, if he knows about this, he will inevitably find someone to ask about it... At that time, everyone will know about it, but instead It's a surprise."
Chu Ning thought about it, and felt that this was also the case, but after so many years, what did Huo Yunshu mean by suddenly mentioning this matter?Do you still want to continue the investigation?But what if it is found out?Could it be that if we catch the inner ghost, we can take back those weavers?Will it be able to restore Zizhu Village to its former prosperity?This is obviously an unrealistic idea.
Thinking this way in her heart, Chu Ning asked this question, but she never expected that Huo Yunshu would have such a big reaction to her question.
Huo Yunshu first looked at Chu Ning in astonishment for a few breaths, then the astonishment was replaced by joy, and after laughing loudly, he cupped his hands and bowed to the sky, "Brother Chu, Ning'er has finally awakened." , Zizhuzhai has a successor! Zizhuzhai has a successor!"
In fact, it is not to blame that Huo Yunshu's reaction is too exaggerated. It is really that the two sisters of the Chu family were too shallow in the past. Although they took the position of head of the family with his full support, no one has the ability to take on the responsibility of the head of the house. Now Chu Although Ning has changed a lot, he has become able to think things through. For Huo Yunshu, this is of course something to be happy about.
After finally calming down the excitement and joy, Huo Yunshu brought Chuning to a low table in the room, and the two of them knelt and sat face to face, Huo Yunshu couldn't wait to say: "Yininger looks What should we do?"
Huo Yunshu's question has three hidden meanings. The first is to ask how to catch the ghost; the second is to ask what to do after the ghost is caught; how to go.
Obviously, he was testing Chuning. Firstly, to test whether Chuning really had a sense of enlightenment; secondly, to test whether Chuning knew the path he was going to take; , to take on the entire Purple Bamboo Village.
Her father's surname is Huo, and her name is Wanqing - a name that is so ladylike that she doesn't look like a bandit at all.
In order to facilitate the relationship, Chuning shamelessly began to kidnap the little girl, talking about Miss Qing and shutting her mouth about Xiao Qinger, and from the mouth of Miss Qinger, she learned some information that she wanted to know, such as some information about this era.

Because of this, she was able to tell Chuning these things about the outside world, otherwise, Chuning would live in this den of thieves for a long time with his eyes darkened, and maybe one day he was unlucky and would gain reputation for others.
Besides Qing'er, there are four other intellectuals in this den of thieves. Chuning made a ranking in his heart. The one who ranked first was Wang Yuande, who was said to have been a teacher; the second was Qing'er's father. Huo Yunshu, the former second head of Zizhuzhai, is said to be able to write, count and fight.
No.3 is Qing'er. These days, Chu Ning has nothing to do when he is recovering from his injuries. He thought about her intentionally or unintentionally, and found that this child has a serious problem with subjects and is extremely sensitive to numbers, especially questions related to money. The addition, subtraction, multiplication and division can't help her at all.
No.4 is Qing'er's younger brother Huo Yu, who is nine years old and is studying "Poetry".And No. 5 is the head of Zizhuzhai, Chu Ning, the older sister of the original owner, Chu Rou, who can count silkworm cocoons after all, although counting by basket.

No matter men, women, old or young, they are all doing what they can do or what they can do without force. Corresponding to their hard work, everyone is disheveled and skinny. Everyone is covered with clothes and patches. patch.
Poverty and dilapidation - this is Chuning's initial and deepest impression of Zizhu Village.
"Ah! The Second Master has come out!"
"Is the second head's injury healed?"
"It's very windy over there, the second master, come over and warm up by my stove, don't get cold..."
……
Chuning had only taken a few steps out of the door when he was seen by busy people outside, who greeted and cared one after another, and these sincere greetings and caring almost gave Chuning the illusion—is this really a fake village?According to the legend, the thieves and bandits in the cottage were vicious, eating meat and drinking heavily, why the bandits here have a harder life than the refugees?
With such thoughts in mind, Chuning imitated the etiquette of those ancient costume TV dramas in his memory, smiled and cupped his fists in thanks, and sat beside a cocoon-cooking stove amid the eyes and care of everyone who didn't know whether it was surprise or strangeness. A three or four-year-old child took over the job of adding dry firewood to the clay stove.
The person in charge of this stove is a woman in her 40s. While watching the situation in the cauldron, she is reeling silk at the side. She can also spare time to instruct Chuning to pay attention to the heat, and chat with Chuning from time to time. After a few words, Chuning found out that she was a widow named Sun with her husband's family name. Her husband died that night more than ten years ago, and she had a son named Sun Xing. He was 17 years old this year. Ning's former playmate.
Since Chu Ning woke up, he had seen several people in the village, but he didn't have any impression of that Sun Xing, so he chatted with Mrs. Sun for a few more words before he realized that the original owner of this body was besieged by bandits in Qinglong Village At that time, she let her playmates Sun Xing and He Wu escape first, and she kept the rest, and faced the siege of seven or eight people in Qinglongzhai alone, killed one, injured two, and finally escaped Come back, so, when Sun spoke, she was full of gratitude, and Chu Ning felt ashamed when she heard it, and couldn't explain that she was not the original Chu Ning, so she kept laughing and said that it should be so, but she thought in her heart, In addition to "making", the original owner also has some merits.
Qing'er is a hardworking girl. She was helping Sun's silk reeling, and while listening to Chu Ning and Sun's chatting, she inserted a sentence or two from time to time, and saw all of Chu Ning's words and deeds. Looking at it, she couldn't help feeling a little emotional in her heart. She felt that the Erdangjia had changed a lot since she woke up.

Apart from wielding guns and clubs all day long, he just pestered the first-in-chief, not to mention chatting with the villagers in such a friendly manner, it was just a matter of words. They rarely talk to people.
Qing'er doesn't know whether Chu Ning's change is good or bad, she only knows that the current second boss is much easier to get along with than before. Several silk reeling women nearby were chatting enthusiastically, asking them how to choose silk cocoons, how to cook silk cocoons, how to reel silk, and how to weave silk.
Obviously, these women liked Chuning's transformation very much, and they all happily answered Chuning's questions, but when it came to weaving silk, they all became silent, and this sudden silence , also mixed with obvious sentimentality.
Seeing this, Chu Ning knew that he had asked something he shouldn't have asked, so he could only talk about it, trying to resolve the sentiment, and asked, "Where did Chu Rou go? Where did those two boys, Sun Xing and He Wu go? The Lord has been out for so long, and I don't see them coming to care about..."
He Wu is another playmate of the original owner of this body. He often takes Chuning up and down the mountain and down the river with Sun Xing.
"The first leader took his brothers up the mountain to pick cocoons, and Sun Xing and He Wu went out with bows and arrows. They presumably wanted to hunt some wild game and come back to replenish the second leader's health."
Answering Chuning's voice came from behind, Chuning put down the firewood in his hand, turned around and saw a man who was over the age, this is the only decently dressed man Chuning has seen so far in this village Man—his clothes, though old, were clean and unpatched.
Seeing this man, men, women and children all around greeted him with smiles, and many children rushed over directly, pulling his hand and playing tricks: "Mr. Huo, Mr. Huo, where is caramel? You promised Where is the one who brought us caramel? Where is it?"
"Father, you're back?" Qing'er put down her work, stepped forward to take a burden from his shoulders, and led the children away with a smile, taking the time to introduce to Chu Ning: "Second master, this It's my dad."
In fact, Chu Ning already knew his identity the moment he saw him. Huo Wanqing's father - Huo Yunshu, ranked second among the five intellectuals in Zizhu Village.
Huo Yunshu's brows are soft, with a bit of literati's elegance. It doesn't look like a difficult person to get in touch with, but there is always an awkwardness in Chu Ning's heart. She always feels that she is incompatible with this world. For her, it is like an NPC in an online game, which lacks a sense of reality, which prevents her from in-depth contact with the idea of communication.
However, Chuning forgot that NPCs can also increase their favorability. Qing'er's companionship and care over the past ten days has already increased her favorability to a very high level, and has already occupied a place in her heart.
For example, at this moment, Qing'er just looked at Chuning with full expectation, and Chuning immediately gave up the entanglement in her heart, stood up and clapped her hands together, saying, "I met Uncle Huo!"
"There is a way to gain wisdom through suffering. I didn't expect our second leader to understand etiquette after suffering." Huo Yunshu smiled gently, and after joking with Chuning, he asked Qing'er to put the burden, and told Chu Ning Ning Dao: "Is the second master free? How about walking a few steps with Uncle Huo?"
Huo Yunshu was wearing a straight skirt and a half-arm shirt. His long hair was tied neatly on the top of his head with a wooden hairpin. His steps were steady and powerful. At first glance, no matter in temperament or imposing manner, he was Chu Ning. Among the people she met these days, she was the most outstanding one. Even though she had met so many high-ranking people in the business and political circles, she felt from the bottom of her heart that few people could compare to Huo Yunshu in these two aspects.
But, how could such a person settle down in this poor and shabby den of thieves?
While thinking about this question, Chuning followed Huo Yunshu's pace, passed by the dilapidated huts, and came to the middle of the village, the only courtyard house with a thick grass roof.
Apparently, someone often came to clean the yard, and it looked very tidy. Inside were old wooden machines. After thinking for a while, Chuning realized that these machines should be spinning wheels for weaving silk.
"These spinning wheels were all made by Mrs. Chu when my wife was still there. Although they looked rough, they really brought us a good life." Huo Yunshu fell silent as he spoke. Yes, it seems to be reminded of those old days, so there is a nostalgic look between the corners of his eyes and brows.
"At that time, Madam was here, teaching those ingenious women to weave silk."
"I still remember that at the beginning, Madam picked more than [-] people from the village, but unfortunately, only a dozen or so people really learned how to weave silk."
When Chu Ning bent down to look at these spinning wheels, Huo Yunshu sighed and talked about the old people related to these spinning wheels: "Oh, it's a pity that no one in the village knows how to weave silk anymore."
The ins and outs of Qinglong Village, in fact, Chu Ning already knew something from Qing'er's words. She knew that the wife Huo Yunshu mentioned was the mother of her body. , had to ask perfunctorily: "Have all those women who can weave silk left?"
"They... were all snatched away by other cottages." Huo Yunshu turned around without a sound, looked at Chuning's slightly frowning brows, and suddenly had an idea in his heart, hesitated for a moment, and then tried He said: "Qinglong village was originally divided into seven, but two died, four in Heihu village, three in Shiyan village, two in Taoling village, a total of 16 people, all of whom were taken away."
"Take them all?"
Sixteen living people, all of them were snatched away together?
"At the same time?" Chuning asked.
"Yes! At the same time." Huo Yunshu said: "It was raining that night, these weavers were resting in their homes, the leader of Qinglong Village rushed into the village with a group of people, and robbed them all."
"Uncle Huo wants to say, did those villages have a premeditated plan?" After speaking, Chuning paused, then thought again, and said, "It was raining that day, and it was night, and the silk weavers didn't gather together. At the same time, it is not easy for Qinglong Village to snatch away all the living people in the chaos! So... it should be that someone betrayed Zizhu Village, or they planted eyes and ears in the village to steal the faces of these women. And the location of the house was identified."
As soon as Chu Ning finished speaking, he saw Huo Yunshu looking at her in surprise, coughed, and said awkwardly, "Uncle Huo, did I say something wrong?"
"No, no, no! What the second master said is exactly what I have guessed all these years." Huo Yunshu said excitedly: "It's just that I didn't expect that the second master could figure things out in such a short period of time... Before , I have never mentioned this to the two masters."
"Why?" Chu Ning couldn't help asking after hearing the words: "There are ghosts in the village, shouldn't Uncle Huo tell Chu Rou to take precautions?"
Chu Ning didn't agree with her current status, she blurted out and called Chu Rou by name, and didn't treat her as a sister at all.
Fortunately, Huo Yunshu didn't show any strange expression anymore, as if he had gotten used to it, he just explained: "I have discussed with Brother Chu about the inside ghost in the village, and I spent a lot of energy to investigate it at that time, but Cha Ke didn't Nothing. Now after many years, although the village is run by the head of the family, but with the character of the head of the house, if he knows about this, he will inevitably find someone to ask about it... At that time, everyone will know about it, but instead It's a surprise."
Chu Ning thought about it, and felt that this was also the case, but after so many years, what did Huo Yunshu mean by suddenly mentioning this matter?Do you still want to continue the investigation?But what if it is found out?Could it be that if we catch the inner ghost, we can take back those weavers?Will it be able to restore Zizhu Village to its former prosperity?This is obviously an unrealistic idea.
Thinking this way in her heart, Chu Ning asked this question, but she never expected that Huo Yunshu would have such a big reaction to her question.
Huo Yunshu first looked at Chu Ning in astonishment for a few breaths, then the astonishment was replaced by joy, and after laughing loudly, he cupped his hands and bowed to the sky, "Brother Chu, Ning'er has finally awakened." , Zizhuzhai has a successor! Zizhuzhai has a successor!"
In fact, it is not to blame that Huo Yunshu's reaction is too exaggerated. It is really that the two sisters of the Chu family were too shallow in the past. Although they took the position of head of the family with his full support, no one has the ability to take on the responsibility of the head of the house. Now Chu Although Ning has changed a lot, he has become able to think things through. For Huo Yunshu, this is of course something to be happy about.
After finally calming down the excitement and joy, Huo Yunshu brought Chuning to a low table in the room, and the two of them knelt and sat face to face, Huo Yunshu couldn't wait to say: "Yininger looks What should we do?"
Huo Yunshu's question has three hidden meanings. The first is to ask how to catch the ghost; the second is to ask what to do after the ghost is caught; how to go.
Obviously, he was testing Chuning. Firstly, to test whether Chuning really had a sense of enlightenment; secondly, to test whether Chuning knew the path he was going to take; , to take on the entire Purple Bamboo Village.
