Gu Ning: "?"
Kicked in the head by a donkey?
What else is called a substitute for his dead wife?
After looking up and down, Gu Ning came to a conclusion.
The persistence of this dungeon seems to be not very smart.
Seeing that Gu Ning didn't answer his words, the Zombie King frowned slightly, looking unhappy, his eyes narrowed slightly, and looked at Gu Ning's face.
His thin lips parted slightly, exposing sharp canine teeth, his eyes were fixed on Gu Ning's lips, but he still wanted to speak harsh words in his mouth.
"Give you three seconds, if you don't choose, I will eat you."
Gu Ning looked at the man in front of him speechlessly, he pushed his hand away from his chin, and said softly, "You hurt me."
In the next second, he heard the man's slightly disgusted words: "Tsk, you're so delicate."
Zombie King glanced at the man on the portrait, and hugged Gu Ning in his arms, his thin lips slowly outlined a pleasant arc, and he said arrogantly: "Now your wife is mine, what do you want?" Did you say that?"
"Tsk, look at you like that, a beauty is worthy of you, it's really wronged beauty."
While dissing Edward, he tightened his arms unobtrusively.
Fuck, what kind of fragrance does this beauty smell, it smells too good.
But no matter how fragrant it was, it was not as fragrant as his wife's body. Zombie Wang Yizheng stood by his wife's side.
But he thought so in his heart, but the movements of his hands did not relax at all, and he still hugged Gu Ning tightly.
Gu Ning failed to break free, and couldn't understand the behavior of the Zombie King, so he gave the Zombie King directly, and successfully got out of his arms?
The zombie king was fighting against the portrait, when a dazed beauty came out of his arms.
This made Zombie King very unhappy.
He opened his arms and said to Gu Ning, "Beauty, come here."
Gu Ning looked at him like he was looking at a fool, he didn't move, his pupils under the long eyelashes were extremely helpless.
Is this a second child?
One mouthful of one beauty, Gu Ning's ears burst into flames.
The Zombie King understood Gu Ning's behavior as - he was unwilling.
So he got angry, and directly stepped forward to pinch Gu Ning's chin, and lifted it up slightly, his handsome face was condensed.
He said: "I don't care whose wife you were before, now you are mine."
"Don't think about other men in your heart!"
Zombie King said this to Gu Ning.
When Gu Ning heard this, his long eyelashes blinked slightly, and a sad look appeared on his face.
He said softly: "I was born as Edward's man, and I will die as Edward's ghost. Since I have married him in this life, I will recognize him, and there will be no one else."
In fact, Gu Ning sneered in his heart, isn't it just a competition of acting skills?Who is afraid of whom?
After listening to Gu Ning's words, the Zombie King felt a sense of sadness in his heart that he didn't know where it came from.
He didn't want to think about it, and simply and roughly classified it as - he didn't want to look at the person in front of him and be with other men with the same skin as his wife.
This is a betrayal of his zombie king, and he will never allow such a thing to happen!
The Zombie King pinched Gu Ning's chin, his thin lips moved closer, and when he was about to kiss Gu Ning's reddish lips, Gu Ning turned his face away, he only kissed the corner of his mouth.
The unhappy zombie king wanted to kiss Gu Ning again.
He heard Gu Ning ask him: "You kiss me, if your wife finds out, will she be sad?"
Then Gu Ning witnessed the painful expression of the Zombie King.
The painful expression on his head while holding his head made Gu Ning want to laugh but couldn't.
Pulling back his long eyelashes, Gu Ning asked the Zombie King again: "What's your wife's name?"
"And, what's your name?"
The Zombie King said blankly, "I don't have a name."
Then he said very sweetly: "My wife's name is Little Rose, she is a very, very beautiful little Rose."
"Unfortunately, my wife died..."
Gu Ning originally had a smile on his face, but when he heard that his wife was dead, his expression immediately changed to indifference.
Under the long eyelashes, it was very cold.
He said, "Shall I name you?"
The Zombie King raised his head in disdain and said, "You are just my wife's substitute, what right do you have to name me?"
"..." Gu Ning sneered, not wanting to talk to this idiot anymore.
009 is not a big deal to watch the excitement, it is the first time he has seen such a hard-headed big devil.
What it wants to see more is the picture of the big devil being subdued by Ning Ning, begging for mercy on his knees.
Gu Ning turned and left, not wanting to talk to the Zombie King anymore.
Seeing this, the Zombie King was annoyed. He came to Gu Ning, blocked his view of the portrait, and announced domineeringly.
"From now on, I reluctantly recognize you as my bride, and you can exercise your rights now."
"Come here and kiss me."
The Zombie King ordered Gu Ning unquestionably.
Gu Ning really wanted to hammer his head open to see if there was a pool of water in it.
Otherwise, how could he say such overbearing words.
"I reject."
Gu Ning helped the pattern on his sleeve, turned around, and the white silk flower headband caught the eyes of the Zombie King, and a dazzling emotion that made him angry permeated his chest.
He couldn't grasp this inexplicable feeling, which made him very angry, but he subconsciously didn't want to hurt the cold beauty in front of him, so he was very helpless.
It was the first time in his life that he encountered such a situation, and the zombie king was a little at a loss.
The red pupil looked deeply at Gu Ning's side face, cold and thin, exactly like his wife.
The Zombie King doesn't know if there are two identical leaves in this world, but the beauty in front of him is indeed exactly the same as his wife.
He frowned slightly, as if he didn't know what to do with Gu Ning.
Gu Ning turned his back to the Zombie King, his long eyelashes drooping slightly, and the emotions in his eyes were unpredictable. He couldn't figure out why Ming Zhi became like this.
It makes people angry and annoyed, but they can't be hard on him.
His long hair fluttered loosely at the back of his head.
The Zombie King reached out his hand to touch the long black hair, but he stretched his hand halfway, but he retracted it like an electric shock.
This person is not his wife, so he doesn't want to touch his hair.
When he was in doubt, Gu Ning said to him: "I still have something to do, so I won't keep you."
Under Gu Ning's slender eyelashes, there is a pair of cold eyes, as light as glass, which makes people feel cold.
"You leave or you stay, it's up to you."
As the words fell, Gu Ning gathered his clothes and strode out of the bedroom, leaving the stunned zombie king staring at the portrait face to face.
The Zombie King cursed in a low voice, and stomped his foot fiercely. He was so angry that he wanted to tear the portrait into pieces.
Before his fingers touched the portrait, he withdrew his hand.
The zombie king with an inexplicable face stretched out his hand again in disbelief, but he still couldn't tear up the portrait.
"what happened……"
Gritting his teeth, the zombie king left the bedroom and returned to his territory.
Isn't she just a beauty who looks like his wife, he won't be reluctant.
The Zombie King thought about it, and then walked into the underground palace with a look of grief and indignation, to see the portrait of his wife.
"Wife, the Great Elder insisted that you were not dead, but just disappeared. Heh, he still wanted to lie to me, but there was no door."
"Honey, today I saw someone who looks very similar to you, but I know it's not you."
"I miss you so much, wife, will you blame me for taking him as your substitute?"
The Zombie King sat on the ground, holding a portrait of his wife in his arms, looking pitiful.
He said softly, "Good night, wife."
"Come to my dream tonight..."
The night is like water, and the moon is like a hook.
After eating rice porridge and supplements in the dining room, Gu Ning sat in the car prepared by the housekeeper and went to the mayor's house.
There is a distance between Ming Mansion and the mayor's house.
Ming Mansion is in the suburbs, the air is fresh and the environment is quiet, but the mayor's house is in a busy city, and there is still a long distance between them, even if it is by car, it will take more than half an hour.
The housekeeper cared about Gu Ning's poor health, so he drove carefully to avoid bumping Gu Ning.
The road in the water town is not smooth, although the housekeeper tried his best to make Gu Ning sit comfortably, but the road did not allow it.
When passing a section of pitted children, the car suddenly turned off.
The butler got out of the car with a puzzled expression on his face and checked it, but he couldn't find the reason for the flameout.
He wanted to call someone to pick up Gu Ning, but there was no signal on the phone.
Cold sweat gradually condensed on his forehead, and the housekeeper fell into the ice cave. He looked up at the section of the road, and saw the fence beside the road at a glance. There was a dilapidated wooden sign beside the fence, which read - please stay away from the pool to avoid accidents .
The butler's body trembled slightly, he swallowed his saliva, he clearly avoided this road on purpose, why did he still drive here...
At this time, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and the housekeeper shuddered. He didn't dare to delay any longer, and opened the car door to pull Gu Ning.
"Ma'am, we have to get out of here quickly!"
The butler pulled Gu Ning out of the car and walked a few steps forward.
He felt that the touch in his hand was not right, and when he looked back, what he pulled was his wife, it was clearly a skeleton!
The housekeeper let go of the skeleton, and strode forward, but the skeleton refused to let him go. He was anxious and afraid, and he was still concerned about Gu Ning who was still in the car.
After running for a long distance, the butler wiped the sweat from his forehead and glanced back, almost scaring him out of his wits.
Behind him was a group of people with ghost-faced sores. The ghost-faced sores had already formed, a scary grimace, and hideous tentacles growing from their necks.
The butler fainted from fright.
After he fell into a coma, he seemed to hear his wife's voice.
"Butler? Butler, wake up."
"Ma'am, I'd better wake the butler up with water, otherwise, the butler's health will suffer if he continues like this."
Before the housekeeper had time to think, a basin of cold water was poured on him, freezing him awake.
The cold water in late spring is still bitter.Now, the butler has completely recovered from the nightmare.
As soon as the housekeeper woke up, the servant hurriedly said, "Ma'am, look, I told you that splashing water is useful."
Gu Ning saw the water stains on the butler's body, so he asked someone to bring a towel and let the butler wipe the water stains.
After taking the towel and wiping off the water stains on his body, the butler will take Gu Ning to the mayor's house.
Gu Ning saw that the housekeeper's clothes were wet with water, he said: "I'll just take someone with me, housekeeper, you should go back and change your clothes first, don't catch a cold and get sick."
The housekeeper stubbornly refused to leave: "Madam took people to the mayor by herself, and ignorant people will definitely take the opportunity to take advantage of Madam and take advantage of Madam. I should go with Madam. I know a lot of secretaries in the town. It’s been ten years, and it’s easy to deal with.”
Gu Ning lowered his long eyelashes and said, "If you are sick, butler, who will help me support Mingfu?"
He blinked his eyelashes, and said sadly: "No matter how good the town secretaries are, they will not attack a widow like me, but others will not be lenient."
The housekeeper thought that Gu Ning was talking about the old lady and the others, and he had no intention of arguing, so he found a trusted confidant, and after explaining it, he let Gu Ning leave in peace.
The housekeeper standing outside the gate felt cold when he saw the car leaving. He hurried back to the residence, and recalled the scene of being trapped in the bathroom, and couldn't help but feel his heart pounding.
Well done, how could he be haunted, and still go to that kind of place...
The butler decided to wait until the first seven days had passed and invite someone to do it at home to see if there was anything unclean.
It's okay that I ran into it, the main reason is that my wife is too sad and can't bear this kind of thing.
Just like the scene where the butler was haunted, Gu Ning was sitting in the car, and the driver was the butler's confidant, with strong muscles, he was a good hand in fighting and managing the tavern.
Sitting beside Gu Ning and accompanying him was the servant whom he had seen at the beginning.
During the chat, Gu Ning knew the names of the servant and the driver.
The servant's name is Chunju, which he chose by himself. He said he likes to eat oranges in spring, so he took this name.
The driver is called Li Mang, the adopted son of the housekeeper.
I heard from Chunju that his dead husband took care of all the affairs in the Ming Mansion, and didn't let him get involved in the slightest.
According to Chunju, it was because she was afraid that Gu Ning would be exhausted.
Gu Ning didn't know the life of the husband he created in the dungeon. Hearing what Chunju said, he substituted Edward's face and felt that this was indeed something Edward could do.
Chunju was afraid of causing Gu Ning's sadness, so she deliberately told him some happy and interesting things.
There is still some distance from the mayor's house, Gu Ning wants to take this opportunity to find out if there are any strange things happening in the town, and the life of the mayor.
Gu Ning changed the topic indiscriminately, and asked Chunju, "Is there anything new happening in our town?"
Seeing Chunju look over, Gu Ning lowered his eyelashes slightly, and said in an inexplicably sad tone: "You know, I've been in a bad mood these days, and I haven't gone out much."
When Chunju heard this, his heart ached, and he said, "Ma'am, don't be sad, Chunju will tell you about the interesting things that happened in our town."
Chunju is a purchasing servant of the Ming Mansion, who often goes to and from the vegetable market, chats with the vendors when buying vegetables, and knows more things than others after going back and forth.
Chunju said: "When I went shopping the day before yesterday, I heard the vendor say that the sacrifice may be canceled this year. He said that the mayor strongly demanded the cancellation. He said that such bad feudal customs should have been canceled long ago."
"Sacrifice?"
Gu Ning said softly.
Chunju remembered that Gu Ning was not from Water Town, so she explained: "This is an annual festival in the town, a festival born to prepare a bride for the God of the River."
“There is a celebration like this every year in late spring.”
Chunju said: "Last year's celebration bride was a beautiful girl, but her family had no money, so they sold her to the priest as a sacrifice to Shen He."
Li Mang, who was acting as the driver, also heard about this incident, he added, "I heard people say that a silver bar was sold."
Chunju sighed: "You can sell your daughter for a silver bar, it's really..."
Li Mang said: "A silver bar allows his son to marry his daughter-in-law, but he sells an unflattering daughter. Isn't this kind of thing happening rarely in this town?"
Chunju said angrily: "Our town really needs to be rectified. I heard that the new mayor is planning to abolish some regulations. I don't know if the priests will agree."
Li Mang said: "I think I know I won't agree."
Chunju asked: "Why?"
Li Mang turned the steering wheel, and the car drove into the urban area.
He answered Chunju's question and said, "The mayor has abolished the regulations, how can they suck blood?"
"What blood sucking?" Chunju knew some gossip, but he didn't know anything deeper, so he was a little curious.
"The bride of the river god will share the bed with the priest on the eve before the sinking of the river," Li Mang said sarcastically, "In order to let the river god get better service, the priest wants to mention the bride, what? What can be done, what can't be done."
Chunju had never heard of this before, and he said in a daze, "Aren't the priests afraid of the anger of the river god?"
"River God?"
Li Mang glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Gu Ning's light-colored and cold pupils. He seemed to be shocked, and immediately withdrew his resentment and whispered.
"If there really was a river god, the town wouldn't have suffered a severe drought a few years ago."
Mention it.Chunju was dejected, and said lazily, "During the severe drought, my parents were beaten to death by those bullies for begging for water."
"Give us a bucket of water afterwards..."
As Chunju spoke, her eyes turned red.
Gu Ning didn't expect that such a thing happened in this town, he patted Chunju on the head and said, "Don't cry."
After finishing speaking, he pursed his red lips, and said coldly: "The wicked will have his own harvest, and the retribution of karma should come to him sooner or later."
Chunju wiped away her tears and said in a low voice: "Madam is right, they will have retribution."
Gu Ning rubbed his head and handed him a handkerchief.
Chunju took it, and thanked Gu Ning with red eyes.
After hearing Gu Ning's words, Li Mang said inexplicably, "Retribution?"
He asked Gu Ning: "Dare to ask Madam, when will retribution come?"
Gu Ning raised his eyelids, the light-colored eyes under the long eyelashes carried a divinity of compassion.
"When it comes, it will come," he said.
Li Mang sneered and said, "Madam is still too young to believe these deceitful words."
Chunju said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Li, how can you say that about Madam?"
"Am I not right?" Li Mang's gloomy expression made his already fierce face even more creepy. He said, "If the retribution comes too slowly, to the victim, it is equivalent to no retribution."
He looked ahead, with a sad tone: "My mother was hacked to death by my scumbag father, and the old man is still alive and well."
"Poor my mother, she was beaten and scolded during her lifetime, and after she died, she was rushed to a roll of straw mats."
Li Mang didn't know whether to ask himself or Gu Ning: "Is there really retribution in this world?"
Gu Ning paused, and affirmed: "Yes."
In the dungeons he has been to, karma and retribution have never spared those who have done bad things.
For example, the psychic master and the short man in the previous instance, in the end they died silently amidst the carnival of the dance party.
Because of their bad deeds, retribution falls on them.
Let them die in a foreign country, and no one will collect their bodies.
It is said that it is safe to go to the ground.If a person dies in a foreign country and no one takes his body away, his soul will not be able to rest in peace, and he will become a lonely ghost until he dies completely.
Although the punishment wasn't deep enough, the mere fact that they couldn't rest in the ground was enough to make them collapse.
Hearing Gu Ning's words, Li Mang laughed out loud, and said, "I hope it's really like Madam said, karma reincarnation, retribution is not good."
Gu Ning said: "Maybe you can go back and have a look, he may have suffered retribution at this moment."
In the rearview mirror, Gu Ning's eyes were cold and his tone was cold. He said to Li Mang, "Sometimes, death is not the retribution."
Gu Ning said word by word: "Pain is the most unbearable punishment."
Compared with dying, living and suffering without end is the punishment of despair.
Li Mang was thoughtful when he heard this.
Perhaps, he should listen to his wife and go back to see that old man.
I heard that the old man married another beautiful wife, gave birth to several sons, and lived a happy life.
Li Mang sneered a few times, was it interesting?A few sons are enough for him to toss about. At this age, who would want an old man to work.
Not to mention, the old man is greedy for his mother's dowry and is used to living a life of meat, so can he still eat steamed buns?
Li Mang feels relieved when he thinks of the old man being tormented by life.
When his mother died, the old man didn't even prepare a coffin for his mother.The mat was still dilapidated, and they were buried hastily without even informing grandpa. This was the pain of Li Mang's life.
The old man hooked up with the illegitimate daughter of the former mayor, hacked his mother to death, and was only held for three months. If it wasn't for his grandfather's money and efforts, the old man would not have been punished.
When Li Mang thought of this, he hated the former mayor even more.
Even the mayor is disgusted.
The car drove through the downtown area. In front of them, someone was making trouble in front of the medical hall. Li Mang honked the horn but no one gave way, so he had to stop at the same spot.
Gu Ning listened to the noise outside, through the car window and the crowd, he saw the doctor who was taking his pulse, and was threatened by someone pulling his collar.
The man pulling the doctor's collar looked very strong.
But in the blink of an eye, the man fell to the ground.
The doctor patted the ashes on his clothes, took the medicine boy back to the medical hall, and closed the door of the medical hall with a click.
Before closing the door, Gu Ning was puzzled by the doctor's words.
The doctor said: "Don't come here again, I can't save you, you'd better go back and prepare the coffin as soon as possible."
The man who fell on the ground cried and howled, but refused to leave.
The few people who walked with the man were the ones who came to the clinic in the afternoon.
The sores on the ghost face on their backs were getting bigger and bigger, which made them turn pale in panic. They were still the size of a fist when they went out in the morning, but now they are almost the size of a human face, and their facial contours have appeared.
Everyone in Shuizhen knows it.
Once the ghost face sores appear in the shape of a human face, then death is not far away.
There is no way to get rid of ghost-faced sores, but the doctors in the town's medical center can restrain the growth of ghost-faced sores.
The few people who thought they could live for a long time suddenly learned that they might die in a few days, they couldn't accept it at all.
So they came to the hospital again, no matter whether they knelt down or threatened the doctor, the doctor still said the same thing - can't be saved.
The few people who were crying were being watched and pointed at.
Vendors who were robbed of money and goods yesterday spat at them.
No matter how much they prayed, the door of the hospital was always closed, and the few people gradually became desperate. A bold idea gradually took shape in their minds.
What they don't know is.
At the moment when they had evil thoughts, the outline of the sores on the ghost face on the back suddenly deepened, and it was almost exactly the same as a human face.
At the same time, the back of their necks also began to tingle.
But they have no way of discovering all this.
Gu Ning, who witnessed a farce, looked away and asked Chunju who was beside him.
"Chunju, do you know what's going on?"
Chunju was a little puzzled about Gu Ning's question, but he thought that Gu Ning was not from Shuizhen, and the young master loved his wife so much, so he would definitely not tell him these dirty things.
Glancing at Gu Ning, Chunju hesitated, whether she should tell him about these ghost-faced sores.
After all, in Chunju's eyes, the lady is so clean, without a speck of dust.
While Chunju hesitated, Li Mang said, "They are sick."
Gu Ning asked: "What disease?"
Li Mang said: "Ghost face sore."
Gu Ning had never heard of this disease, so he was a little surprised: "What is this?"
Li Mang was thinking about how to tell Gu Ning, when Chun Ju spoke up at this time, he said: "Ghost face sores, after getting sick, human face sores will grow on the back."
Chunju said: "The more human-like the face is, the sicker it will be."
Chunju finished speaking.Gu Ning lowered his long eyelashes and fell into deep thought.
After a while, Gu Ning asked Chunju: "What is the cause of the disease? Can it be cured?"
Chunju shook her head and said, "It can't be cured."
He pointed to the few people who refused to leave at the entrance of the medical center, and said: "If they can be cured, they will not come to the medical center to make trouble."
Li Mang continued, "If the sore on the ghost face can be cured, unless the river god manifests."
Chunju said unconvinced: "The doctor in the medical center can indeed get rid of some of the ghost face sores."
"It's just part of it," Li Mang said, "After it's gone, the ghost face sores will continue to grow, and there's no way to cure them completely. It's better not to prescribe medicine in the first place."
He said: "Since it gave people hope, it turned out to be just a dream. Doesn't this make people even more devastated?"
Chunju said: "But the doctor's medicine does make the sick people live longer."
"Although we still have to die in the end," Chunju said, "But aren't we all going to die in the end?"
Li Mang glanced at Chunju and said, "Then do you want to die now, or do you want to live for decades before you die?"
Chunju couldn't say no to Li Mang, and said sullenly, "I won't lift you up, you're so annoying."
Gu Ning rubbed Chunju's head and said, "What you both said makes sense, and neither makes sense."
Li Mang asked puzzledly: "What is the explanation for Ma'am's words?"
Gu Ning said: "People who are sick naturally try to find ways to survive."
Chunju looked at Li Mang proudly, but Li Mang was a little speechless.
He said: "Madam is right, but giving people hope makes people despair. It's better not to give people hope in the first place."
Gu Ning shook his head, looked at the crowd outside the car window, and said softly: "The ghost face sore is so terrifying, people who have the disease must know its severity in their hearts."
"They just want to," Gu Ning closed his eyelashes and whispered, "Live a little longer."
"Both of you are right, but people's emotions are very complicated. They know that there is no cure, but they still hope that someone will come to save him. The doctor of the medical center is the genius doctor who can save him."
"But the genius doctor can't help it, because this disease is too bizarre."
Chunju felt that what Gu Ning said was very reasonable, so she asked, "Why does Madam say this disease is bizarre?"
After listening to Gu Ning's words, Li Mang had an epiphany for a moment. He looked at Gu Ning in surprise. He always thought that Gu Ning was a canary raised by the young master, but now he understood.
Madam is not a canary that is being raised, but a divine bird that soars in the nine heavens.
He is clean and pure, free from dust.
He knows a lot of things and understands a lot of truths.
Being watched by Chunju and Li Mang, Gu Ning asked them without any pressure: "Have you ever heard of this kind of disease? There is a human face on the back, isn't it weird?"
Indeed, as Gu Ning said, ghost face sores are indeed bizarre.
Chunju didn't hear about similar strange diseases from the vendors, and Li Mang followed the housekeeper all over the world, and he thought he was well-informed, and he had never heard of such a strange disease.
Li Mang asked Gu Ning: "According to Madam, is this ghost face sore not an ordinary disease?"
Gu Ning shook his head lightly, his long hair swayed with the movement, and fell to his side, as beautiful as an oil painting.
"I'm not a doctor, so I can't judge the disease."
"But one thing is for sure," Gu Ning said, "This ghost face sore is not easy."
What is not a simple method, Gu Ning did not say.
Li Mang paused, then asked Chunju: "Little Juzi, I'm not at home often, do you know what this disease is?"
Chunju glared at Li Mang angrily, thought about it for a moment, and said uncertainly: "I was young at that time, so I'm not sure, anyway, it was after the severe drought that the ghost face sores appeared."
He frowned in distress and said, "You want me to tell you the specific time, but I really don't know which year it is."
Li Mang rubbed his chin, saw the people scattered at the entrance of the medical center, started the car, and said while driving, "When I was in the south, I heard that my colleagues in the water town said that the ghost face sores seemed to be caused by something bad. Only clean things deserve it.”
"As for what they ate, that person didn't say anything, and I don't know," Li Mang asked Chunju, "Little Orange, do you know what they ate?"
Chunju shook her head, saying she didn't know.
He said: "I said that when I was young, I couldn't find out about these things at all."
After a while, he said again: "But I seem to have heard from the steward that the first people who got sick were a group of fishermen."
"Fisherman?"
Gu Ning said softly: "Is there a fisherman in the town?"
Li Mang seemed to have heard similar words, he added: "Yes, Madam doesn't go out often, I don't know, before our town, we lived by fishing."
"But these years, because of the river god, I gradually stopped fishing, for fear of disturbing the river god."
Chunju also said: "The water in our water town used to be very clear and you could drink it directly, but since the severe drought, the drinking water has turned black, and you will get stomach upset after drinking it."
Li Mang said: "Speaking of this, I seem to have heard people say that in the year of the severe drought, it seemed that someone caught a big fish from the river. The big fish was five meters long. I don't know if this is true. fake."
"Since someone said it, someone must have seen it."
Gu Ning said: "So, ghost face sores started after the severe drought?"
Chunju and Li Mang nodded in unison, but shook their heads uncertainly.
Gu Ning lowered his eyelashes, thinking about it.
The big fish caught in a severe drought eat unclean things and get sick.
Like a thread, connecting all these in series seems to form a chain of clues.
But this is just his guess, there is no evidence to prove that these are right.
The most important thing now is to complete the task, Gu Ning said in his heart, it is not too late to think about other things after completing the task.
Gu Ning had a hunch that the mission of this dungeon must be related to ghost face sores.
I just don't know how difficult it is...
After all, it is a C-level copy.
Gu Ning was a little uneasy about the dungeon of this unknown mission.
His long eyelashes suppressed his emotions, and he sighed softly.
I don't know when Mingzhi will return to normal.
Looking for a substitute?
Gu Ning sneered, the corners of his lips pursed into a straight line.
Really untidy.
The car drove slowly into the mayor's house.
Uncle Bai was waiting for Gu Ning at the door, when Gu Ning got out of the car, Uncle Bai came up to him and said, "My condolences." He hurriedly led Gu Ning to the hall.
Li Mang asked Chunju to follow behind Gu Ning while he parked the car.
Chunju followed behind Gu Ning every step of the way, with a protective expression of "no one wants to bully my wife".
Gu Ning winked at Chunju, telling him to relax and there are no bad people here.
Chunju didn't seem to understand what Gu Ning meant, and she still looked fierce.
Seeing this, Gu Ning didn't give Chunju another wink, and followed Uncle Bai into the hall calmly.
The residence of the mayor is very large.
It's different from the Ming Mansion. The Ming Mansion has a heavy atmosphere of life, and there are fireworks everywhere.
But the mayor's residence, at first glance, is full of loneliness, with few servants, but the house is empty and not very popular.
Uncle Bai led Gu Ning to the living room, and said to Gu Ning: "Madam, wait a moment, the mayor is talking to someone."
"There are tea and snacks here, Madam might as well use them."
Gu Ning took the tea and took a sip.
The tea tastes bitter, but the aftertaste is sweet.
Gu Ning said: "Good tea."
Uncle Bai smiled and said, "As long as Madam likes it."
Not long after, Li Mang also came over. After seeing Uncle Bai nodding, he sat down next to Chunju and drank the tea.
Seeing this, Chunju laughed at him: "You are really chewing peonies, you have wasted a good cup of tea."
"I am willing." Li Mang raised his eyebrows, seeing Chun Ju's expressionless face, the corners of his lips slightly raised.
Uncle Bai didn't stay long, said a few words to Gu Ning, and left the living room.
The living room is not too small. Seeing that Uncle Bai had left, Chunju immediately walked to the door, looked left and right, and gently closed the door.
Then he sat back on the wooden chair and said to Gu Ning: "Madam, the mayor's house is so empty, I haven't seen many people along the way, if it's night, I won't dare to go out."
Hearing this, Li Mang mocked unceremoniously: "Look at your courage, it's just a little empty, it doesn't make you so scared, right?"
When Chunju heard this, she whispered, "Just talk nonsense if you know anything."
"Why?" Li Mang raised his eyebrows and asked Chunju, "Could it be that you know something inside, Little Juzi?"
"Tell me and listen, I'm bored."
Gu Ning swallowed the snack in his mouth, Bai Yu's fingers curled up, and he tapped the table lightly, signaling the two to restrain themselves.
"This is at someone else's house, don't say nonsense."
The implication is to wait until you get out.
Neither Li Mang nor Chunju were fools, so they naturally understood the meaning of Gu Ning's words.
After Gu Ning said this, they realized that something was wrong. Li Mang patted his head and said in a low voice: "What's wrong with me, I want to speak ill of others in someone else's house, it's not like me..."
Chunju was also surprised.
He touched his face, but it wasn't hot, and he didn't have a fever.
"It's strange, ma'am," Chunju wondered, "I don't usually do this. As a servant, it's necessary to keep my mouth shut. What's wrong with me..."
After hearing Li Mang and Chun Ju's words, Gu Ning felt something was wrong.
He raised his eyebrows and asked Li Mangchunju: "Have you two been anywhere before?"
"Or met someone?"
Gu Ning paused for a few seconds, and added: "It's best to go to places or meet people in the past two days at the same time."
When Li Mang and Chunju heard this, they both lowered their heads and pondered whether they had been to the same place at the same time, or met the same person at the same time.
After thinking for a long time, Li Mang and Chun Ju looked at each other and said in unison, "We went to see the old lady together on the day of the funeral."
Gu Ning frowned: "Old lady?"
As a personal servant, Chunju naturally knew that Gu Ning hadn't contacted the young master's relatives, so she naturally didn't know.
He said: "The old lady is the adoptive mother of the young master. The young master feels sorry for the wife who will be tortured by the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. He specially asked us to stop the old lady and not let her get closer to the lady."
Gu Ning's heart suddenly twitched at this moment.
His brows were slowly raised, and a smile gradually appeared on his cold face.
This dungeon is really interesting, even Ming Zhi's adoptive mother got it out.
Seeing this, Chunju said again: "After the young master is gone, the old lady has always wanted to return to the Ming Mansion to take over the power, but was stopped by the housekeeper."
"
Kicked in the head by a donkey?
What else is called a substitute for his dead wife?
After looking up and down, Gu Ning came to a conclusion.
The persistence of this dungeon seems to be not very smart.
Seeing that Gu Ning didn't answer his words, the Zombie King frowned slightly, looking unhappy, his eyes narrowed slightly, and looked at Gu Ning's face.
His thin lips parted slightly, exposing sharp canine teeth, his eyes were fixed on Gu Ning's lips, but he still wanted to speak harsh words in his mouth.
"Give you three seconds, if you don't choose, I will eat you."
Gu Ning looked at the man in front of him speechlessly, he pushed his hand away from his chin, and said softly, "You hurt me."
In the next second, he heard the man's slightly disgusted words: "Tsk, you're so delicate."
Zombie King glanced at the man on the portrait, and hugged Gu Ning in his arms, his thin lips slowly outlined a pleasant arc, and he said arrogantly: "Now your wife is mine, what do you want?" Did you say that?"
"Tsk, look at you like that, a beauty is worthy of you, it's really wronged beauty."
While dissing Edward, he tightened his arms unobtrusively.
Fuck, what kind of fragrance does this beauty smell, it smells too good.
But no matter how fragrant it was, it was not as fragrant as his wife's body. Zombie Wang Yizheng stood by his wife's side.
But he thought so in his heart, but the movements of his hands did not relax at all, and he still hugged Gu Ning tightly.
Gu Ning failed to break free, and couldn't understand the behavior of the Zombie King, so he gave the Zombie King directly, and successfully got out of his arms?
The zombie king was fighting against the portrait, when a dazed beauty came out of his arms.
This made Zombie King very unhappy.
He opened his arms and said to Gu Ning, "Beauty, come here."
Gu Ning looked at him like he was looking at a fool, he didn't move, his pupils under the long eyelashes were extremely helpless.
Is this a second child?
One mouthful of one beauty, Gu Ning's ears burst into flames.
The Zombie King understood Gu Ning's behavior as - he was unwilling.
So he got angry, and directly stepped forward to pinch Gu Ning's chin, and lifted it up slightly, his handsome face was condensed.
He said: "I don't care whose wife you were before, now you are mine."
"Don't think about other men in your heart!"
Zombie King said this to Gu Ning.
When Gu Ning heard this, his long eyelashes blinked slightly, and a sad look appeared on his face.
He said softly: "I was born as Edward's man, and I will die as Edward's ghost. Since I have married him in this life, I will recognize him, and there will be no one else."
In fact, Gu Ning sneered in his heart, isn't it just a competition of acting skills?Who is afraid of whom?
After listening to Gu Ning's words, the Zombie King felt a sense of sadness in his heart that he didn't know where it came from.
He didn't want to think about it, and simply and roughly classified it as - he didn't want to look at the person in front of him and be with other men with the same skin as his wife.
This is a betrayal of his zombie king, and he will never allow such a thing to happen!
The Zombie King pinched Gu Ning's chin, his thin lips moved closer, and when he was about to kiss Gu Ning's reddish lips, Gu Ning turned his face away, he only kissed the corner of his mouth.
The unhappy zombie king wanted to kiss Gu Ning again.
He heard Gu Ning ask him: "You kiss me, if your wife finds out, will she be sad?"
Then Gu Ning witnessed the painful expression of the Zombie King.
The painful expression on his head while holding his head made Gu Ning want to laugh but couldn't.
Pulling back his long eyelashes, Gu Ning asked the Zombie King again: "What's your wife's name?"
"And, what's your name?"
The Zombie King said blankly, "I don't have a name."
Then he said very sweetly: "My wife's name is Little Rose, she is a very, very beautiful little Rose."
"Unfortunately, my wife died..."
Gu Ning originally had a smile on his face, but when he heard that his wife was dead, his expression immediately changed to indifference.
Under the long eyelashes, it was very cold.
He said, "Shall I name you?"
The Zombie King raised his head in disdain and said, "You are just my wife's substitute, what right do you have to name me?"
"..." Gu Ning sneered, not wanting to talk to this idiot anymore.
009 is not a big deal to watch the excitement, it is the first time he has seen such a hard-headed big devil.
What it wants to see more is the picture of the big devil being subdued by Ning Ning, begging for mercy on his knees.
Gu Ning turned and left, not wanting to talk to the Zombie King anymore.
Seeing this, the Zombie King was annoyed. He came to Gu Ning, blocked his view of the portrait, and announced domineeringly.
"From now on, I reluctantly recognize you as my bride, and you can exercise your rights now."
"Come here and kiss me."
The Zombie King ordered Gu Ning unquestionably.
Gu Ning really wanted to hammer his head open to see if there was a pool of water in it.
Otherwise, how could he say such overbearing words.
"I reject."
Gu Ning helped the pattern on his sleeve, turned around, and the white silk flower headband caught the eyes of the Zombie King, and a dazzling emotion that made him angry permeated his chest.
He couldn't grasp this inexplicable feeling, which made him very angry, but he subconsciously didn't want to hurt the cold beauty in front of him, so he was very helpless.
It was the first time in his life that he encountered such a situation, and the zombie king was a little at a loss.
The red pupil looked deeply at Gu Ning's side face, cold and thin, exactly like his wife.
The Zombie King doesn't know if there are two identical leaves in this world, but the beauty in front of him is indeed exactly the same as his wife.
He frowned slightly, as if he didn't know what to do with Gu Ning.
Gu Ning turned his back to the Zombie King, his long eyelashes drooping slightly, and the emotions in his eyes were unpredictable. He couldn't figure out why Ming Zhi became like this.
It makes people angry and annoyed, but they can't be hard on him.
His long hair fluttered loosely at the back of his head.
The Zombie King reached out his hand to touch the long black hair, but he stretched his hand halfway, but he retracted it like an electric shock.
This person is not his wife, so he doesn't want to touch his hair.
When he was in doubt, Gu Ning said to him: "I still have something to do, so I won't keep you."
Under Gu Ning's slender eyelashes, there is a pair of cold eyes, as light as glass, which makes people feel cold.
"You leave or you stay, it's up to you."
As the words fell, Gu Ning gathered his clothes and strode out of the bedroom, leaving the stunned zombie king staring at the portrait face to face.
The Zombie King cursed in a low voice, and stomped his foot fiercely. He was so angry that he wanted to tear the portrait into pieces.
Before his fingers touched the portrait, he withdrew his hand.
The zombie king with an inexplicable face stretched out his hand again in disbelief, but he still couldn't tear up the portrait.
"what happened……"
Gritting his teeth, the zombie king left the bedroom and returned to his territory.
Isn't she just a beauty who looks like his wife, he won't be reluctant.
The Zombie King thought about it, and then walked into the underground palace with a look of grief and indignation, to see the portrait of his wife.
"Wife, the Great Elder insisted that you were not dead, but just disappeared. Heh, he still wanted to lie to me, but there was no door."
"Honey, today I saw someone who looks very similar to you, but I know it's not you."
"I miss you so much, wife, will you blame me for taking him as your substitute?"
The Zombie King sat on the ground, holding a portrait of his wife in his arms, looking pitiful.
He said softly, "Good night, wife."
"Come to my dream tonight..."
The night is like water, and the moon is like a hook.
After eating rice porridge and supplements in the dining room, Gu Ning sat in the car prepared by the housekeeper and went to the mayor's house.
There is a distance between Ming Mansion and the mayor's house.
Ming Mansion is in the suburbs, the air is fresh and the environment is quiet, but the mayor's house is in a busy city, and there is still a long distance between them, even if it is by car, it will take more than half an hour.
The housekeeper cared about Gu Ning's poor health, so he drove carefully to avoid bumping Gu Ning.
The road in the water town is not smooth, although the housekeeper tried his best to make Gu Ning sit comfortably, but the road did not allow it.
When passing a section of pitted children, the car suddenly turned off.
The butler got out of the car with a puzzled expression on his face and checked it, but he couldn't find the reason for the flameout.
He wanted to call someone to pick up Gu Ning, but there was no signal on the phone.
Cold sweat gradually condensed on his forehead, and the housekeeper fell into the ice cave. He looked up at the section of the road, and saw the fence beside the road at a glance. There was a dilapidated wooden sign beside the fence, which read - please stay away from the pool to avoid accidents .
The butler's body trembled slightly, he swallowed his saliva, he clearly avoided this road on purpose, why did he still drive here...
At this time, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and the housekeeper shuddered. He didn't dare to delay any longer, and opened the car door to pull Gu Ning.
"Ma'am, we have to get out of here quickly!"
The butler pulled Gu Ning out of the car and walked a few steps forward.
He felt that the touch in his hand was not right, and when he looked back, what he pulled was his wife, it was clearly a skeleton!
The housekeeper let go of the skeleton, and strode forward, but the skeleton refused to let him go. He was anxious and afraid, and he was still concerned about Gu Ning who was still in the car.
After running for a long distance, the butler wiped the sweat from his forehead and glanced back, almost scaring him out of his wits.
Behind him was a group of people with ghost-faced sores. The ghost-faced sores had already formed, a scary grimace, and hideous tentacles growing from their necks.
The butler fainted from fright.
After he fell into a coma, he seemed to hear his wife's voice.
"Butler? Butler, wake up."
"Ma'am, I'd better wake the butler up with water, otherwise, the butler's health will suffer if he continues like this."
Before the housekeeper had time to think, a basin of cold water was poured on him, freezing him awake.
The cold water in late spring is still bitter.Now, the butler has completely recovered from the nightmare.
As soon as the housekeeper woke up, the servant hurriedly said, "Ma'am, look, I told you that splashing water is useful."
Gu Ning saw the water stains on the butler's body, so he asked someone to bring a towel and let the butler wipe the water stains.
After taking the towel and wiping off the water stains on his body, the butler will take Gu Ning to the mayor's house.
Gu Ning saw that the housekeeper's clothes were wet with water, he said: "I'll just take someone with me, housekeeper, you should go back and change your clothes first, don't catch a cold and get sick."
The housekeeper stubbornly refused to leave: "Madam took people to the mayor by herself, and ignorant people will definitely take the opportunity to take advantage of Madam and take advantage of Madam. I should go with Madam. I know a lot of secretaries in the town. It’s been ten years, and it’s easy to deal with.”
Gu Ning lowered his long eyelashes and said, "If you are sick, butler, who will help me support Mingfu?"
He blinked his eyelashes, and said sadly: "No matter how good the town secretaries are, they will not attack a widow like me, but others will not be lenient."
The housekeeper thought that Gu Ning was talking about the old lady and the others, and he had no intention of arguing, so he found a trusted confidant, and after explaining it, he let Gu Ning leave in peace.
The housekeeper standing outside the gate felt cold when he saw the car leaving. He hurried back to the residence, and recalled the scene of being trapped in the bathroom, and couldn't help but feel his heart pounding.
Well done, how could he be haunted, and still go to that kind of place...
The butler decided to wait until the first seven days had passed and invite someone to do it at home to see if there was anything unclean.
It's okay that I ran into it, the main reason is that my wife is too sad and can't bear this kind of thing.
Just like the scene where the butler was haunted, Gu Ning was sitting in the car, and the driver was the butler's confidant, with strong muscles, he was a good hand in fighting and managing the tavern.
Sitting beside Gu Ning and accompanying him was the servant whom he had seen at the beginning.
During the chat, Gu Ning knew the names of the servant and the driver.
The servant's name is Chunju, which he chose by himself. He said he likes to eat oranges in spring, so he took this name.
The driver is called Li Mang, the adopted son of the housekeeper.
I heard from Chunju that his dead husband took care of all the affairs in the Ming Mansion, and didn't let him get involved in the slightest.
According to Chunju, it was because she was afraid that Gu Ning would be exhausted.
Gu Ning didn't know the life of the husband he created in the dungeon. Hearing what Chunju said, he substituted Edward's face and felt that this was indeed something Edward could do.
Chunju was afraid of causing Gu Ning's sadness, so she deliberately told him some happy and interesting things.
There is still some distance from the mayor's house, Gu Ning wants to take this opportunity to find out if there are any strange things happening in the town, and the life of the mayor.
Gu Ning changed the topic indiscriminately, and asked Chunju, "Is there anything new happening in our town?"
Seeing Chunju look over, Gu Ning lowered his eyelashes slightly, and said in an inexplicably sad tone: "You know, I've been in a bad mood these days, and I haven't gone out much."
When Chunju heard this, his heart ached, and he said, "Ma'am, don't be sad, Chunju will tell you about the interesting things that happened in our town."
Chunju is a purchasing servant of the Ming Mansion, who often goes to and from the vegetable market, chats with the vendors when buying vegetables, and knows more things than others after going back and forth.
Chunju said: "When I went shopping the day before yesterday, I heard the vendor say that the sacrifice may be canceled this year. He said that the mayor strongly demanded the cancellation. He said that such bad feudal customs should have been canceled long ago."
"Sacrifice?"
Gu Ning said softly.
Chunju remembered that Gu Ning was not from Water Town, so she explained: "This is an annual festival in the town, a festival born to prepare a bride for the God of the River."
“There is a celebration like this every year in late spring.”
Chunju said: "Last year's celebration bride was a beautiful girl, but her family had no money, so they sold her to the priest as a sacrifice to Shen He."
Li Mang, who was acting as the driver, also heard about this incident, he added, "I heard people say that a silver bar was sold."
Chunju sighed: "You can sell your daughter for a silver bar, it's really..."
Li Mang said: "A silver bar allows his son to marry his daughter-in-law, but he sells an unflattering daughter. Isn't this kind of thing happening rarely in this town?"
Chunju said angrily: "Our town really needs to be rectified. I heard that the new mayor is planning to abolish some regulations. I don't know if the priests will agree."
Li Mang said: "I think I know I won't agree."
Chunju asked: "Why?"
Li Mang turned the steering wheel, and the car drove into the urban area.
He answered Chunju's question and said, "The mayor has abolished the regulations, how can they suck blood?"
"What blood sucking?" Chunju knew some gossip, but he didn't know anything deeper, so he was a little curious.
"The bride of the river god will share the bed with the priest on the eve before the sinking of the river," Li Mang said sarcastically, "In order to let the river god get better service, the priest wants to mention the bride, what? What can be done, what can't be done."
Chunju had never heard of this before, and he said in a daze, "Aren't the priests afraid of the anger of the river god?"
"River God?"
Li Mang glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Gu Ning's light-colored and cold pupils. He seemed to be shocked, and immediately withdrew his resentment and whispered.
"If there really was a river god, the town wouldn't have suffered a severe drought a few years ago."
Mention it.Chunju was dejected, and said lazily, "During the severe drought, my parents were beaten to death by those bullies for begging for water."
"Give us a bucket of water afterwards..."
As Chunju spoke, her eyes turned red.
Gu Ning didn't expect that such a thing happened in this town, he patted Chunju on the head and said, "Don't cry."
After finishing speaking, he pursed his red lips, and said coldly: "The wicked will have his own harvest, and the retribution of karma should come to him sooner or later."
Chunju wiped away her tears and said in a low voice: "Madam is right, they will have retribution."
Gu Ning rubbed his head and handed him a handkerchief.
Chunju took it, and thanked Gu Ning with red eyes.
After hearing Gu Ning's words, Li Mang said inexplicably, "Retribution?"
He asked Gu Ning: "Dare to ask Madam, when will retribution come?"
Gu Ning raised his eyelids, the light-colored eyes under the long eyelashes carried a divinity of compassion.
"When it comes, it will come," he said.
Li Mang sneered and said, "Madam is still too young to believe these deceitful words."
Chunju said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Li, how can you say that about Madam?"
"Am I not right?" Li Mang's gloomy expression made his already fierce face even more creepy. He said, "If the retribution comes too slowly, to the victim, it is equivalent to no retribution."
He looked ahead, with a sad tone: "My mother was hacked to death by my scumbag father, and the old man is still alive and well."
"Poor my mother, she was beaten and scolded during her lifetime, and after she died, she was rushed to a roll of straw mats."
Li Mang didn't know whether to ask himself or Gu Ning: "Is there really retribution in this world?"
Gu Ning paused, and affirmed: "Yes."
In the dungeons he has been to, karma and retribution have never spared those who have done bad things.
For example, the psychic master and the short man in the previous instance, in the end they died silently amidst the carnival of the dance party.
Because of their bad deeds, retribution falls on them.
Let them die in a foreign country, and no one will collect their bodies.
It is said that it is safe to go to the ground.If a person dies in a foreign country and no one takes his body away, his soul will not be able to rest in peace, and he will become a lonely ghost until he dies completely.
Although the punishment wasn't deep enough, the mere fact that they couldn't rest in the ground was enough to make them collapse.
Hearing Gu Ning's words, Li Mang laughed out loud, and said, "I hope it's really like Madam said, karma reincarnation, retribution is not good."
Gu Ning said: "Maybe you can go back and have a look, he may have suffered retribution at this moment."
In the rearview mirror, Gu Ning's eyes were cold and his tone was cold. He said to Li Mang, "Sometimes, death is not the retribution."
Gu Ning said word by word: "Pain is the most unbearable punishment."
Compared with dying, living and suffering without end is the punishment of despair.
Li Mang was thoughtful when he heard this.
Perhaps, he should listen to his wife and go back to see that old man.
I heard that the old man married another beautiful wife, gave birth to several sons, and lived a happy life.
Li Mang sneered a few times, was it interesting?A few sons are enough for him to toss about. At this age, who would want an old man to work.
Not to mention, the old man is greedy for his mother's dowry and is used to living a life of meat, so can he still eat steamed buns?
Li Mang feels relieved when he thinks of the old man being tormented by life.
When his mother died, the old man didn't even prepare a coffin for his mother.The mat was still dilapidated, and they were buried hastily without even informing grandpa. This was the pain of Li Mang's life.
The old man hooked up with the illegitimate daughter of the former mayor, hacked his mother to death, and was only held for three months. If it wasn't for his grandfather's money and efforts, the old man would not have been punished.
When Li Mang thought of this, he hated the former mayor even more.
Even the mayor is disgusted.
The car drove through the downtown area. In front of them, someone was making trouble in front of the medical hall. Li Mang honked the horn but no one gave way, so he had to stop at the same spot.
Gu Ning listened to the noise outside, through the car window and the crowd, he saw the doctor who was taking his pulse, and was threatened by someone pulling his collar.
The man pulling the doctor's collar looked very strong.
But in the blink of an eye, the man fell to the ground.
The doctor patted the ashes on his clothes, took the medicine boy back to the medical hall, and closed the door of the medical hall with a click.
Before closing the door, Gu Ning was puzzled by the doctor's words.
The doctor said: "Don't come here again, I can't save you, you'd better go back and prepare the coffin as soon as possible."
The man who fell on the ground cried and howled, but refused to leave.
The few people who walked with the man were the ones who came to the clinic in the afternoon.
The sores on the ghost face on their backs were getting bigger and bigger, which made them turn pale in panic. They were still the size of a fist when they went out in the morning, but now they are almost the size of a human face, and their facial contours have appeared.
Everyone in Shuizhen knows it.
Once the ghost face sores appear in the shape of a human face, then death is not far away.
There is no way to get rid of ghost-faced sores, but the doctors in the town's medical center can restrain the growth of ghost-faced sores.
The few people who thought they could live for a long time suddenly learned that they might die in a few days, they couldn't accept it at all.
So they came to the hospital again, no matter whether they knelt down or threatened the doctor, the doctor still said the same thing - can't be saved.
The few people who were crying were being watched and pointed at.
Vendors who were robbed of money and goods yesterday spat at them.
No matter how much they prayed, the door of the hospital was always closed, and the few people gradually became desperate. A bold idea gradually took shape in their minds.
What they don't know is.
At the moment when they had evil thoughts, the outline of the sores on the ghost face on the back suddenly deepened, and it was almost exactly the same as a human face.
At the same time, the back of their necks also began to tingle.
But they have no way of discovering all this.
Gu Ning, who witnessed a farce, looked away and asked Chunju who was beside him.
"Chunju, do you know what's going on?"
Chunju was a little puzzled about Gu Ning's question, but he thought that Gu Ning was not from Shuizhen, and the young master loved his wife so much, so he would definitely not tell him these dirty things.
Glancing at Gu Ning, Chunju hesitated, whether she should tell him about these ghost-faced sores.
After all, in Chunju's eyes, the lady is so clean, without a speck of dust.
While Chunju hesitated, Li Mang said, "They are sick."
Gu Ning asked: "What disease?"
Li Mang said: "Ghost face sore."
Gu Ning had never heard of this disease, so he was a little surprised: "What is this?"
Li Mang was thinking about how to tell Gu Ning, when Chun Ju spoke up at this time, he said: "Ghost face sores, after getting sick, human face sores will grow on the back."
Chunju said: "The more human-like the face is, the sicker it will be."
Chunju finished speaking.Gu Ning lowered his long eyelashes and fell into deep thought.
After a while, Gu Ning asked Chunju: "What is the cause of the disease? Can it be cured?"
Chunju shook her head and said, "It can't be cured."
He pointed to the few people who refused to leave at the entrance of the medical center, and said: "If they can be cured, they will not come to the medical center to make trouble."
Li Mang continued, "If the sore on the ghost face can be cured, unless the river god manifests."
Chunju said unconvinced: "The doctor in the medical center can indeed get rid of some of the ghost face sores."
"It's just part of it," Li Mang said, "After it's gone, the ghost face sores will continue to grow, and there's no way to cure them completely. It's better not to prescribe medicine in the first place."
He said: "Since it gave people hope, it turned out to be just a dream. Doesn't this make people even more devastated?"
Chunju said: "But the doctor's medicine does make the sick people live longer."
"Although we still have to die in the end," Chunju said, "But aren't we all going to die in the end?"
Li Mang glanced at Chunju and said, "Then do you want to die now, or do you want to live for decades before you die?"
Chunju couldn't say no to Li Mang, and said sullenly, "I won't lift you up, you're so annoying."
Gu Ning rubbed Chunju's head and said, "What you both said makes sense, and neither makes sense."
Li Mang asked puzzledly: "What is the explanation for Ma'am's words?"
Gu Ning said: "People who are sick naturally try to find ways to survive."
Chunju looked at Li Mang proudly, but Li Mang was a little speechless.
He said: "Madam is right, but giving people hope makes people despair. It's better not to give people hope in the first place."
Gu Ning shook his head, looked at the crowd outside the car window, and said softly: "The ghost face sore is so terrifying, people who have the disease must know its severity in their hearts."
"They just want to," Gu Ning closed his eyelashes and whispered, "Live a little longer."
"Both of you are right, but people's emotions are very complicated. They know that there is no cure, but they still hope that someone will come to save him. The doctor of the medical center is the genius doctor who can save him."
"But the genius doctor can't help it, because this disease is too bizarre."
Chunju felt that what Gu Ning said was very reasonable, so she asked, "Why does Madam say this disease is bizarre?"
After listening to Gu Ning's words, Li Mang had an epiphany for a moment. He looked at Gu Ning in surprise. He always thought that Gu Ning was a canary raised by the young master, but now he understood.
Madam is not a canary that is being raised, but a divine bird that soars in the nine heavens.
He is clean and pure, free from dust.
He knows a lot of things and understands a lot of truths.
Being watched by Chunju and Li Mang, Gu Ning asked them without any pressure: "Have you ever heard of this kind of disease? There is a human face on the back, isn't it weird?"
Indeed, as Gu Ning said, ghost face sores are indeed bizarre.
Chunju didn't hear about similar strange diseases from the vendors, and Li Mang followed the housekeeper all over the world, and he thought he was well-informed, and he had never heard of such a strange disease.
Li Mang asked Gu Ning: "According to Madam, is this ghost face sore not an ordinary disease?"
Gu Ning shook his head lightly, his long hair swayed with the movement, and fell to his side, as beautiful as an oil painting.
"I'm not a doctor, so I can't judge the disease."
"But one thing is for sure," Gu Ning said, "This ghost face sore is not easy."
What is not a simple method, Gu Ning did not say.
Li Mang paused, then asked Chunju: "Little Juzi, I'm not at home often, do you know what this disease is?"
Chunju glared at Li Mang angrily, thought about it for a moment, and said uncertainly: "I was young at that time, so I'm not sure, anyway, it was after the severe drought that the ghost face sores appeared."
He frowned in distress and said, "You want me to tell you the specific time, but I really don't know which year it is."
Li Mang rubbed his chin, saw the people scattered at the entrance of the medical center, started the car, and said while driving, "When I was in the south, I heard that my colleagues in the water town said that the ghost face sores seemed to be caused by something bad. Only clean things deserve it.”
"As for what they ate, that person didn't say anything, and I don't know," Li Mang asked Chunju, "Little Orange, do you know what they ate?"
Chunju shook her head, saying she didn't know.
He said: "I said that when I was young, I couldn't find out about these things at all."
After a while, he said again: "But I seem to have heard from the steward that the first people who got sick were a group of fishermen."
"Fisherman?"
Gu Ning said softly: "Is there a fisherman in the town?"
Li Mang seemed to have heard similar words, he added: "Yes, Madam doesn't go out often, I don't know, before our town, we lived by fishing."
"But these years, because of the river god, I gradually stopped fishing, for fear of disturbing the river god."
Chunju also said: "The water in our water town used to be very clear and you could drink it directly, but since the severe drought, the drinking water has turned black, and you will get stomach upset after drinking it."
Li Mang said: "Speaking of this, I seem to have heard people say that in the year of the severe drought, it seemed that someone caught a big fish from the river. The big fish was five meters long. I don't know if this is true. fake."
"Since someone said it, someone must have seen it."
Gu Ning said: "So, ghost face sores started after the severe drought?"
Chunju and Li Mang nodded in unison, but shook their heads uncertainly.
Gu Ning lowered his eyelashes, thinking about it.
The big fish caught in a severe drought eat unclean things and get sick.
Like a thread, connecting all these in series seems to form a chain of clues.
But this is just his guess, there is no evidence to prove that these are right.
The most important thing now is to complete the task, Gu Ning said in his heart, it is not too late to think about other things after completing the task.
Gu Ning had a hunch that the mission of this dungeon must be related to ghost face sores.
I just don't know how difficult it is...
After all, it is a C-level copy.
Gu Ning was a little uneasy about the dungeon of this unknown mission.
His long eyelashes suppressed his emotions, and he sighed softly.
I don't know when Mingzhi will return to normal.
Looking for a substitute?
Gu Ning sneered, the corners of his lips pursed into a straight line.
Really untidy.
The car drove slowly into the mayor's house.
Uncle Bai was waiting for Gu Ning at the door, when Gu Ning got out of the car, Uncle Bai came up to him and said, "My condolences." He hurriedly led Gu Ning to the hall.
Li Mang asked Chunju to follow behind Gu Ning while he parked the car.
Chunju followed behind Gu Ning every step of the way, with a protective expression of "no one wants to bully my wife".
Gu Ning winked at Chunju, telling him to relax and there are no bad people here.
Chunju didn't seem to understand what Gu Ning meant, and she still looked fierce.
Seeing this, Gu Ning didn't give Chunju another wink, and followed Uncle Bai into the hall calmly.
The residence of the mayor is very large.
It's different from the Ming Mansion. The Ming Mansion has a heavy atmosphere of life, and there are fireworks everywhere.
But the mayor's residence, at first glance, is full of loneliness, with few servants, but the house is empty and not very popular.
Uncle Bai led Gu Ning to the living room, and said to Gu Ning: "Madam, wait a moment, the mayor is talking to someone."
"There are tea and snacks here, Madam might as well use them."
Gu Ning took the tea and took a sip.
The tea tastes bitter, but the aftertaste is sweet.
Gu Ning said: "Good tea."
Uncle Bai smiled and said, "As long as Madam likes it."
Not long after, Li Mang also came over. After seeing Uncle Bai nodding, he sat down next to Chunju and drank the tea.
Seeing this, Chunju laughed at him: "You are really chewing peonies, you have wasted a good cup of tea."
"I am willing." Li Mang raised his eyebrows, seeing Chun Ju's expressionless face, the corners of his lips slightly raised.
Uncle Bai didn't stay long, said a few words to Gu Ning, and left the living room.
The living room is not too small. Seeing that Uncle Bai had left, Chunju immediately walked to the door, looked left and right, and gently closed the door.
Then he sat back on the wooden chair and said to Gu Ning: "Madam, the mayor's house is so empty, I haven't seen many people along the way, if it's night, I won't dare to go out."
Hearing this, Li Mang mocked unceremoniously: "Look at your courage, it's just a little empty, it doesn't make you so scared, right?"
When Chunju heard this, she whispered, "Just talk nonsense if you know anything."
"Why?" Li Mang raised his eyebrows and asked Chunju, "Could it be that you know something inside, Little Juzi?"
"Tell me and listen, I'm bored."
Gu Ning swallowed the snack in his mouth, Bai Yu's fingers curled up, and he tapped the table lightly, signaling the two to restrain themselves.
"This is at someone else's house, don't say nonsense."
The implication is to wait until you get out.
Neither Li Mang nor Chunju were fools, so they naturally understood the meaning of Gu Ning's words.
After Gu Ning said this, they realized that something was wrong. Li Mang patted his head and said in a low voice: "What's wrong with me, I want to speak ill of others in someone else's house, it's not like me..."
Chunju was also surprised.
He touched his face, but it wasn't hot, and he didn't have a fever.
"It's strange, ma'am," Chunju wondered, "I don't usually do this. As a servant, it's necessary to keep my mouth shut. What's wrong with me..."
After hearing Li Mang and Chun Ju's words, Gu Ning felt something was wrong.
He raised his eyebrows and asked Li Mangchunju: "Have you two been anywhere before?"
"Or met someone?"
Gu Ning paused for a few seconds, and added: "It's best to go to places or meet people in the past two days at the same time."
When Li Mang and Chunju heard this, they both lowered their heads and pondered whether they had been to the same place at the same time, or met the same person at the same time.
After thinking for a long time, Li Mang and Chun Ju looked at each other and said in unison, "We went to see the old lady together on the day of the funeral."
Gu Ning frowned: "Old lady?"
As a personal servant, Chunju naturally knew that Gu Ning hadn't contacted the young master's relatives, so she naturally didn't know.
He said: "The old lady is the adoptive mother of the young master. The young master feels sorry for the wife who will be tortured by the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. He specially asked us to stop the old lady and not let her get closer to the lady."
Gu Ning's heart suddenly twitched at this moment.
His brows were slowly raised, and a smile gradually appeared on his cold face.
This dungeon is really interesting, even Ming Zhi's adoptive mother got it out.
Seeing this, Chunju said again: "After the young master is gone, the old lady has always wanted to return to the Ming Mansion to take over the power, but was stopped by the housekeeper."
