"If the human antler survives, I don't know if it will mutate later."
"Even though it looks more and more like a person now, it is essentially inhuman."
"The worst result is that it will continue to eat away at your wife's life, and eventually both of you will die at the same time."
"But if you kill someone right now, your wife will also die."
"It's even possible that wherever humans are, there will be another 'cotton shed'."
"So, you must stay away from this place and live in seclusion in an uninhabited place."
"Understood?"
The above is what Zheng Xiu said to the man.
The "frustrated" Cuihua seemed to have come back to life at this moment. She hugged her child and her husband and said goodbye to Zheng Xiu and Ruchen without any worries.
They dare not stay here.
The residents of Jingtang Town were frightened by Zheng Xiu and did not dare to come forward. Once Zheng Xiu and Ruchen left, the man could expect that Cuihua mother and son would be burned alive.
He originally didn't want to admit that Ren Rong was his child, but when Ren Rong said the word "mother" for the first time, for some reason, the man softened his heart.
"My benefactor is so kind and virtuous that I can never repay you in this life. Please accept my gratitude! May God bless you and may this good man be safe forever!"
The man had gone through ups and downs, but now he had a peaceful mind. He knelt on the street and kowtowed three times to Zheng Xiu in front of his collapsed house.
winter! winter! winter!
The couple decided to fly away.
Their houses were burned down and there was little nostalgia.
Before leaving, the man told Zheng Xiu that his wife Cuihua was the concubine of a wealthy businessman in Naozhou when she was young. She once gave birth to a son who died of a serious illness and was never pregnant again. The child who died in infancy became a heartache for Cuihua. Later, Cuihua was divorced because she could not carry on the family line for the wealthy businessman.
The man met Cuihua in Maozhou. Cuihua was criticized by others for being like a fallen flower and a willow. In order to seek peace of mind, the man took Cuihua to live in seclusion in Jingtang Town.
This pregnancy happened again in Jingtang Town. After several twists and turns, the man has now figured it out. He feels that the reason why the child survived must be God's will. No matter what the child turns out to be in the end, or even if it is not a human being, The man decided to respect Cuihua's decision and raise this human being.
Zheng Xiu and Ruchen stood side by side, looking at the figure of a family of three with empty sleeves, supporting each other and walking away under the sunset. They fell into deep thought, and neither of them spoke for a while.
"Brother Zheng, the young monk realizes his mistake."
Ruchen sighed.
Zheng Xiu asked: "What's your fault?"
Ruchen smiled bitterly and said: "The young monk initially thought that killing the cotton slough was a good deed, but unexpectedly, after killing the cotton slough, the pregnant women infected with the cotton slough would die suddenly at the same time. This is a bad thing. However, people Rong survived, but the monk was so kind-hearted that he couldn't bear to kill him and let him go. This seemed like a kind act. But if Rong did evil again in the future and killed more people, the monk's move became malicious again. So, no matter what No matter what, the young monk is wrong."
Ruchen could not hide his self-blame in his words.
Zheng Xiu smiled and said: "Zheng did not expect this to be the case at first. It is difficult to distinguish between good and evil, and it is difficult to distinguish between black and white. No wonder, for hundreds of years, the custom here has been to use the 'purification ceremony' to solve the 'cotton slough', because The ancients have known this for a long time. But Huahua, everything has two sides, black and white, just like the ordinary world and the dark side, which cannot be judged by common sense. If they first let them burn many pregnant women alive, you couldn't bear it, and neither could I. Now those pregnant women are difficult to save, The result is the same. The only difference is that because of our intervention, someone survived. So, what you said is not entirely correct."
Ruchen frowned: "Is the young monk right?"
Zheng Xiu shook his head: "It's wrong. If it's wrong, it's wrong."
Ruchen frowned: "Then..."
Zheng Xiu: "As long as you have a clear conscience."
Ruchen: "What if Renrong does evil again?"
Zheng Xiu sighed: "That's another matter."
Ruchen nodded: "What Brother Zheng said makes sense."
Zheng Xiu smiled slightly: "Besides, I was the one who killed Mianshei, and I was the one who released the human antler. What does it have to do with you?"
Ruchen was stunned.
He never expected that Zheng Xiu would take all the causes and consequences of this incident into his own hands.
In fact, the "cotton sloughing incident" that occurred in Jingtang Town is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong if we insist on tracing it. Zheng Xiu and Ruchen are not indifferent people. They can't just watch the pregnant woman being burned to death. Since they intervened, they will solve the problem. The fact that Ren Rong survived in the end was an accident, and the heart-to-heart connection between Ren Rong and Cui Hua was even more unexpected. At that moment, the small human body gave Zheng Xiu a feeling of "giving birth to a human heart".
Zheng Xiu couldn't predict the consequences of letting Ren Rong and the couple go.
But, eradicate the roots?
Who can start?
The two of them walked towards Jing Wu's house.
Zheng Xiu calmed down and said as he walked: "In any case, the matter has finally been solved. I hope that the old witch can keep his promise and prepare supplies. We will go up the mountain overnight, lest things change."
"good!"
Ruchen, who was depressed in his heart, also tried hard to put the slight discomfort caused by this incident behind him. He admired the strong man Zheng Shan more and more for his conduct. He acted openly, right was right and wrong was wrong. He was responsible and courageous. He never looked forward or backward and had the courage to bear the consequences.
Brother Zheng is really handsome and unparalleled.
Ruchen worshiped silently in his heart.
The people took the initiative to separate and watched the couple leave. The anger on their faces was not as good as before.
Zheng Xiu and Ruchen strode past the crowd. He observed everyone's expressions and soon understood.
What the people of Jingtang Town care about is not "whether Mian Shang will die or not", but "whether Mian Shang is still in Jingtang". As long as Cuihua and his wife take the "human antler" away from Jingtang Town, it has nothing to do with them where they go or where there is turmoil in the world.
After understanding this, Zheng Xiu silently lamented "human nature". This emotion has nothing to do with right or wrong, good or evil, but is just the true side of human nature.
suddenly.
Zheng Xiu stopped.
Ruchen, who was looking at Zheng Xiu's broad back and thinking wildly, accidentally bumped into Zheng Xiu's back. In an instant, he felt like he had hit an iron plate.
Ruchen covered his nose in pain and said with a smile, "What's wrong with Brother Zheng?"
Zheng Xiu looked shocked: "That's not right."
Ruchen asked: "What's wrong?"
Zheng Xiu turned around suddenly, with a ferocious look on his face: "That's not right! There's something wrong with the Jing Wu! How could I not notice it!"
As he spoke, Zheng Xiu quickened his pace and walked towards Jing Wu's house, shouting and explaining as he walked: "Fuck, that kid's behavior was so natural that I didn't even suspect it!"
"What's going on? Brother Zheng!"
Ruchen hurriedly followed, walking like the wind, with waves of ghosts appearing behind him.
"That door lock!" Zheng Xiu said angrily: "That door lock is locked from the outside! No one has lived in that yard for several years. How did the old wizard get out of the house? You can't just repair a small broken house. Set up a secret passage?"
When Ruchen heard this, he suddenly realized.
When I arrived at the door of Jingwu's house, I saw Xiaozhao, the sixteenth generation of Jingwu, guarding the door. There were two large bundles at his feet. The bundles were bulging, obviously full of things.
Xiao Zhao saw the two running wildly from a distance, raising high dust behind them, and he waved to them happily:
"Two heroes, Grandpa heard that you killed Mianshe, and what you want is already ready!"
boom!
Zheng Xiu used his strength to grab Xiao Zhao's neck, lifted him up and pressed him against the wall.
Of course, he looked fierce and never killed anyone.
"Say! Who are you!"
Xiaozhao looked frightened, kicked his feet in panic, and said intermittently: "Xiaozhao, I am Xiaozhao, the 16th generation Jingtang Town witch!"
"Where is your grandfather! He is a human or a ghost! He came out of nowhere!"
"Grandpa is grandpa!"
"Where is he!"
"Grandpa is gone, grandpa is gone...he is gone!"
Xiao Zhao's expression and tone did not seem to be fake. Zheng Xiu thought, put the child down, stood in front of the courtyard door, and looked at the door from a distance.
Sure enough, the copper lock was locked from the outside.
Xiaozhao, who was put down, covered his neck and coughed, in shock.
When Meng Nan and Ruchen walked towards the dilapidated house in silence.
Xiaozhao suddenly said with a smile behind them:
"My grandfather left you a message."
Zheng Xiu turned around.
"Grandpa said,"
Xiaozhao suddenly became dumb and imitated the old man's tone.
"Have you ever regretted it?"
