Li Lan's sadness came from this. He mentioned that when Liang Yan and his wife hanged themselves by the weak water, even the wine in their hands felt tasteless. At the moment, they just kept playing with the wine glass and shaking it back and forth.
Mo Guyuan thought patiently and went out to town today. These hearsay news were more solemn than the last. They were completely different from what he heard at Liang Yan's house.
According to Liang Yan, the plague in the town was the result of news coming from the Town God's Temple. It was the Town God named Qin Qiong who induced the people of the town to falsely accuse Liang Yan's parents of being the source of the disease, and finally tied them up. Drowned alive by weak water.
But before Qin Qiong came here, although he didn't tell himself anything specifically, it was not difficult to see that the City God's Temple must have made a lot of sacrifices for this plague, and this sacrifice might even have a certain impact on Qin Qiong himself. You must know that as a temple, its greatest divine power is the love and incense from the people. Only by having many believers can it stabilize its strength. But in order for the people of the town to live and work in peace and contentment, Qin Qiong used his supreme magical power to stabilize their souls in the town and keep them in the present. It can be said that he took great pains and even acted against heaven.
But now that I have listened to Li Lanxian talk about so many past events from that year, one or two of them can tell me another story. The source of the disease did not come from Liang Yan's parents, but because Liang Yan had liked hunting since he was a child. It was after returning from the Heli Mountain that a plague broke out in the town. As for Liang Yan, he died early in the plague.
After sorting out his thoughts for a moment, Mo Guyuan no longer insisted on telling the two of them what he heard. Instead, he asked casually, "The plague was caused by Liang Yan coming back from the mountains, but why did Liang Yan's parents hang themselves in Weishui?" What about the side?"
Li Lanxian remained silent, as if remembering some sad past event, he fell into silence for a moment.
Mo Guyuan didn't want to be disturbed, so he had to wait aside.
Su Mo took a few sips of wine, sighed without trace, and continued, "When Brother Liang Jun was alive, the students in the private school all liked his classes. Even during the more than a year when the plague broke out, Liang Jun Brother still insists on going to school every day without interruption. Now it seems that it may be because he leaves early and comes home late, neglecting to teach Liang Yan that Liang Yan was accidentally seriously injured when he ran to the mountains alone. This must have made it difficult for the couple to let go."
Mo Guyuan paused, could it be that Liang Yan's temperament was because no one had cared about him since he was a child, so he acted so boldly and was not afraid of anything?
"Sir, according to what you said, no matter how busy Mr. Liang is, he won't be so careless that he doesn't care about his son. Besides, after listening to what you said so much, the younger generation can also hear something about Mr. Liang's character. With his talent, knowledge and broad mind "You are so bookish, how can you not educate your children well?" Mo Guyuan said slowly.
Su Mo frowned slightly, and when he was about to retort, an idea flashed across his face, and he suddenly became more thoughtful.
"Yes, why have I never cared about this? I just thought that everyone in the town cares about Liang Yan, or for Jun Liang's sake they don't care about this bastard. Logically speaking, Jun Liang has taught many people, no? Maybe he neglected to discipline his biological child." Su Mo rubbed his chin with a look of deep thought on his face.
Mo Guyuan smiled coquettishly and did not dwell on the issue. He continued to ask, "Sir, can you tell me how this plague came about?"
Su Mo nodded slowly, took over what Li Lanxian was saying, and continued, "After Liang Yan and his wife gave birth to a son, the family of three became the same as before. It's just that Liang Yan was stubborn and arrogant and refused to obey discipline. After his father went to private school, he tinkered with some hunting tools left at home, and often went hunting in the Gobi mountains. Everyone noticed this trip, but fortunately Liang Yan had a place to go. He won't destroy crops or set fire to trees like before, just to cause trouble to his parents."
"After Liang Jun knew about it, he did not dissuade him. He just told his children to pay more attention to their safety and to stay away from some ferocious beasts. But Liang Yan was young and still went his own way with his courage and some talent. This was the reason for his later The root of the disaster has been seriously laid."
Mo Guyuan listened carefully, knowing that the next point of the story was coming.
"The winter solstice two years ago left a deep impression on me. A few years ago, Qingyun Town had been covered with frost and snow, and the mountains and glaciers were all endless white. But when the winter solstice came that year, the desolate land of the Gobi still had not fallen. Half a snowflake, not only that, even Heli Mountain behind the town has no snow, and the top of the mountain is still lush and green, just like it is in summer." Su Mo elaborated.
"This... why is this? I have read records in ancient geography books. Regarding the Heli Mountain area in the north, it basically starts from the autumnal equinox, and the climate gradually turns cooler. When winter comes, this place It should snow all the time.”
"Yeah, I won't tell you. Is this the case in the first few years when I first arrived here? That year was particularly strange. Due to the weather, we just thought that winter came late and didn't pay too much attention to anything. That is During those few days, Liang Yan took advantage of the good weather to go hunting, but in the end, he lost an arm and broke a leg."
"After Liang Yan went out that day, he didn't come back until the evening. It was only when Liang Jun got home that he realized something was wrong. Yan Honghu was also anxious. When Liang Yan didn't return, she thought he had just returned from hunting and went straight to the town, but I didn’t expect that when Jun Liang came back after dark, there was still no trace of his child.”
"The couple hurriedly contacted the people in the town, so they all went out to search overnight. According to people who worked in the fields during the day, someone saw Liang Yan riding his horse in the direction of Heli Mountain during the day, so everyone rushed towards Heli Mountain. Look for it in the mountains."
When Mo Guyuan heard this, he thought a little in his heart. He Lishan had read the records in the foreign scriptures. The mountain covers an area of hundreds of miles, and behind the mountain is the Black River. In front of the mountain is the weak water. The two rivers are intercepted by a mountain and divided into two. They happen to be in the center of Heli Mountain. Therefore, this mountain It is also the dividing line of weak water in Heihe River.
"After working hard all night, at dawn, I found Liang Yan unconscious under a shallow stream of water in a canyon. When people in the town found him, they didn't dare to call his parents because they were afraid Liang Jun and Yan Honghu couldn't accept it when they saw Liang Yan's appearance. But after all, this was about human life. At that time, they saw that Liang Yan was still breathing, so they hurriedly brought him back to the town, for fear that it would be too late. " Su Mo said while thinking about it.
"Fortunately, Liang Yan survived in the end, but it was a pity that he became a disabled person. Later, I heard from him that he caught a jackal that day and chased it all the way to the depths of the mountains. He accidentally got lost in the mountains. He lost his way and finally rolled down the mountain in a daze. Because he broke his bones and couldn't get up, he had to lie there all the time. But who knew that the jackal he was chasing came back and came back to seek revenge. Liang Yan resisted with all his strength, but in the end his hand was bitten off by a jackal, and his legs suffered from falling off the mountain."
Mo Guyuan understood and said, "I see. I didn't expect that Liang Yan could escape with his life. I don't know how he survived at that time."
"A child has such a heart and can still resist a vicious and bloody jackal. Would you be afraid if it were you?" Su Mo asked funnyly.
Mo Guyuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded. If he had been in Luoxing Village, he must have been mainly afraid.
"Now you know how troublesome this kid Liang Yan is. Not to mention his courage, even his personality is sometimes unpredictable and uncertain. Fortunately, he survived the disaster and survived. During the days when he was recuperating from his injuries, his mother stayed close to him and stayed by his side every day, fearing that if he wasn't careful, this kid would cause trouble. As for Liang Jun, he spent less time in the private school and stayed by his side every day. Also go back early to take care of you.”
"Until one day, Liang Jun went to the private school as usual, but he kept coughing in class. As the cough became louder and louder, he finally vomited blood and passed out on the stage. When we sent him to school When he went to Dr. Zhang's house, after examination, it was found that Liang Jun had red rashes all over his neck. Except for his face, which was not very obvious at that time, his hands and feet were all covered with dense red rashes. By the time Dr. Zhang confirmed it, he was already helpless." Su Mo There was a bit more horror on his face.
Mo Guyuan asked in surprise, "But Liang Jun has noticed something strange about himself a long time ago. In order to prevent the people in the town from noticing the abnormality, he has been hiding it?"
On the side, Li Lanxian looked pained, and suddenly started beating his chest and stamping his feet, not knowing what he wanted to express.
Su Mo looked at his expression and said, "This can only be the case. There are so many children in the private school. Liang Jun has been infected with the plague for a long time, but he has never told everyone. The students he comes into contact with every day in class, After returning home, they naturally had to communicate with their parents. This went back and forth, and soon the disaster swept through the entire Qingyun Town."
Hearing this, Mo Guyuan felt a little relieved, and seemed to have figured out some key points.
"Liang Jun thought that he could hide Liang Yan's condition in this way, but he didn't know that he himself was also infected subtly and brought this disaster to the people in the town. The plague broke out and every household was infected with the virus, but only Doctor Zhang was the only one in the town. He opened a medical clinic, and even he himself had too much time to take care of himself, so how could he take care of the people of the town. And the messenger sent by the mayor had not yet returned. Qingyun Town is located in a remote place, and who would dare to come here after knowing that there is a plague. Yeah." Su Mo said bluntly.
"That year, we were in dire straits. We were in so much pain that we wished we could just die, so as not to suffer for nothing and live in pain." Su Mo murmured, recalling everything that happened two years ago.
Li Lanxian came back to his senses and advised, "You've already got through this, why are you talking about this? Think of something happy."
Mo Guyuan blinked and looked at the two of them meaningfully. Looking at their postures, it seemed that as Hu Baxian said, they did not know that they had all died in the plague.
A dead person does not realize that he is a dead person. It is a fantasy, but it is also reasonable. Mo Guyuan thought of it inexplicably.
