Chapter 161 Loss of conscience
The sorcerer Zhang Ke, who was good at using the human-snake technique and the hexagram formation, was very arrogant by nature.
He relied on his magical powers and had long been tired of being manipulated by the stupid woman. This time, he wanted to make some money and leave, but when he learned that Nuobao had the fate of a fairy, he became evil again.
Zhang Ke had always wanted to find a child with a special fate to be a human-snake, so how could he miss this good opportunity, so he hurried to Yuncheng.
As soon as he entered the government office, Zhang Ke asked Tian Zhixian to call all the girls who had been reported to the government office.
Tian Zhixian was annoyed and hesitated for a while.
"But those children before, the people from the Shen Mansion had already looked at them, and said that there was no one they wanted, so they had been driven away." Tian Zhixian muttered.
Zhang Ke frowned: "Then let them come again, I can't trust those idiots in the Shen Mansion!"
He looked down on the eyesight of the Shen family's men, so he had to verify it himself. He would rather kill
them by mistake than miss it. Tian Zhixian took the money from the Shen family, so it was not easy to refuse, so he called the children again.
In front of the government office, there were more than a hundred girls held by adults.
Their faces were childish and their expressions were ignorant. Some of them rubbed their eyes and called for their mothers, obviously not knowing what was about to happen.
Among them, there were twenty or thirty children who were obviously bigger and were not born in the year of Wu Zi.
But their parents were still grinning, and would rather lie about their age and send their children to try their luck.
Tian Zhixian was too lazy to care about it, so he waved his hand and ordered the children to stay and the adults to wait.
"Master, these are the girls we have collected." Tian Zhixian smiled flatteringly, "They are all here."
Zhang Ke glanced at the little kids, and the greed and desire in his eyes suddenly grew wildly!
He smiled grimly, waved the whisk in his hand to count them, "More than a hundred, not a small number, and then ten people in a group, listen to my instructions, and send them to the main hall for me to check."
Tian Zhixian and the people in the government office did as they were told.
They just thought it was to select a companion, so they had to test their speech, brain power, and physical defects, and didn't take it too seriously.
However, they never expected that after the first batch of children were sent into the palace, they could soon hear screams and trembling begging!
"No."
"Don't stab me."
"Daddy, mother, help...ah!"
The inarticulate crying, mixed with the terrified requests for help, echoed in the yamen, scaring Tian Zhixian and his men.
Tian Zhixian turned around and saw that the palace door was still shaking. Several little hands were banging on the door, but they were soon dragged away.
"What are you doing to the children?" The yamen runner widened his eyes in shock and wanted to go in to see.
Tian Zhixian was a little frightened.
But thinking about the money he received in the past two days, like flowing water, he quickly stopped them and said: "Wait, don't disturb the master, we can't afford to offend him if we ruin his important event.
"Maybe... he didn't do anything, it's those girls who are just making a fuss and making a big fuss. "Tian Zhixian closed his eyes guiltily.
The yamen runners all clenched their fists angrily, staring at Tian Zhixian.
Do you believe this nonsense, sir?
No wonder he has no offspring, he is so wicked, he deserves it!
Soon, batches of children were sent in, crying and shouting in pain pitifully, and never stopped.
Half an hour later, Zhang Ke finally came out. He wiped the blood spots on his robe in disappointment and shook his head.
"Waste, none of them, none of them are good material to be a top-class human slave, all my efforts were wasted in vain. "Zhang Ke snorted.
Tian Zhixian plucked up his courage, walked into the hall and took a look. Suddenly, his legs went weak and he fell to the ground, almost peeing his pants.
The ground was covered with blood. More than a hundred children were lying paralyzed in all directions, like rags, thrown together casually.
There were seven long needles inserted into their heads, which had penetrated deep into their brains. Some of them were twitching all over, and some were even motionless.
"No need to look, I pierced them with silver needles to test their talents." Zhang Ke tilted his mouth: "It's a pity that they are unlucky and not worthy of being used by me. "
The so-called human snake means to use a long needle to penetrate the brain, and then inject black dog blood for forty-nine days, so that the body can be preserved but the mind can be lost, and then it can be used for one's own purposes.
There were originally suitable physiques among these children, but Zhang Ke had already set his eyes on Nuobao, so how could he look at ordinary girls.
Now that Nuobao has not been found, he certainly will not give up.
Tian Zhixian rolled out of the hall, his face pale: "Then... next, what instructions does the master have?"
Zhang Ke narrowed his eyes and said, "There must be other girls born in the year of Wu Zi in Yuncheng, who have been hidden and not reported. You have to find them."
Tian Zhixian's voice was split.
"But this... if their family members deliberately did not report it, then, this official can't do anything."
The sorcerer Zhang Ke smiled coldly: "You are really a waste. "
Tian Zhixian was sweating all over and his calves were weak.
Could it be that this master was going to stab him with a silver needle?
"But it doesn't matter." Fortunately, at this time, Zhang Ke laughed arrogantly again: "Anything that I set my eyes on cannot escape from my grasp. I have my own way to force that girl out. You just need to cooperate with me then."
After that, he turned his sleeves into the bedroom to prepare for the hexagram formation.
Tian Zhixian breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ordered people to get rid of these children first.
In the hall, more than ten people died because of Zhang Ke's heavy hand.
The remaining children could only open their cracked mouths and breathe hard. Seeing this situation, even if they could save their lives temporarily, they would be seriously injured.
Even the usually domineering yamen runners were shocked to see the children being tortured like this. Teng, could not help but feel tears in his eyes, and sent him out quietly.
Although the government had blocked the news, there is no wall that is impenetrable.
Some families who lost their beloved daughters had hanged themselves in grief, while others felt guilty about their children and wandered around the streets crying.
One of the families happened to be the cousin of Yang Er's wife. Yang Er's wife felt sorry for him and gave him half an ounce of silver to help him with the funeral.
When she went back to work, she told the story to Fushan Hall. Jiang's family and fellow villagers were all shocked.
"What? A good child, went to the government office and died, and the government office didn't even give an explanation. How could such a cruel thing happen in the world?" The village chief yelled.
Yang Er's wife sighed: "Not only that, I heard that some girls survived, but they were stupid and stupid. I'm afraid they will have a hard time in the future."
Feng's body was numb, her heart was about to jump out of her throat, Jiang Fengnian's face was pale, and his palms were covered with cold sweat.
Fortunately, they were not blind and sent Xiao Nuobao to the government office as soon as they saw the notice.
Otherwise, now... Nuobao would have suffered that torture...
The village chief patted Jiang Fengnian on the shoulder, thankful and uncomfortable, saying: "Your family is broad-minded and didn't fall for it. If our Nuobao really suffered that torture, it would be no different from digging out flesh from my heart."
When everyone thought about it, they all felt lingering fears, and looked at little Nuobao with red eyes.
So they surrounded her with all their hands and feet, kissed and hugged her for a while, and they were reluctant to let go no matter how they hugged her. They inexplicably felt a kind of "survivor's fear".
Little Nuobao's face was covered with saliva, but she was sensible and endured it obediently.
She knew that everyone was worried about her, and she was very grateful. She even took the initiative to pout her little face, happy to let the adults touch her face and smack her a few times.
"Don't be afraid, everyone. No matter what happens, Nuobao can protect herself and nothing will happen." After being pampered, little Nuobao took a breath of fresh air and patted her chest to assure.
Just yesterday, she had concealed her fortune. Even if there was a master who could tell fortunes, he couldn't figure out that she was in Daliushan Village.
Little Nuobao raised his fat paws and rubbed them on his mother and the village chief's faces. He blinked with heartache and wiped the moisture from their eyes.
The villagers were really scared.
After all, if the Jiang family hadn't been so wary and reported Nuobao to be a companion, the little guy would have been hurt!
"So many children were just injured at the government office. I don't know why. They won't. They will continue to look for people born in the year of Wu Zi." Jiang Fengnian said worriedly at this time.
Xiao Nuobao narrowed his eyes, and suddenly two words popped out of his mouth: "Human pig!"
"What did you say, my lady?" Mrs. Feng looked confused.
"Human pigs are a kind of crooked way." Xiao Nuobao said word by word, trying to make his baby voice as clear as possible: "Putting a needle into the brain is the first step to control human pigs."
Everyone was nervous when they heard that there was such a dirty thing as human pigs.
Xiao Nuobao shook his head and analyzed: "And they harmed so many children at once, and then let them go. They must have thought that these children were not talented, so they gave up after trying."
Mrs. Feng and the villagers opened their eyes wide, and their hearts were alarmed.
Although they did not understand the mysterious arts, they could understand some of the twists and turns.
"That means, if they are not satisfied, they may continue to look for more girls." Jiang Fengnian's heart skipped a beat: "Until they find someone suitable to be a human slave!"
Xiao Nuobao clenched his fists and said nothing.
The person to be found was actually her.
But the damn warlock dared to covet her little fairy, and harmed so many innocent children. She must make this man die a miserable death!
The villagers touched their chests and hurriedly discussed how to guard against the people in the government office to protect Xiao Nuobao.
"Everyone in our village has to be smarter than me. Whenever someone comes to the village to ask if there is a girl born in the year of Wu Zi, no one is allowed to let it slip, understand!" The village chief was so anxious that his voice was angry.
Old Zhang nodded like a garlic: "When the time comes, Tian Mei and I will go door to door to inform everyone. If our village is united, we should be able to prevent this kind of thing." Old Li snorted
and held the hoe: "If anyone dares to snatch my Nuobao, I will fight them even if I have to sacrifice my old bones, damn it!"
The villagers nodded angrily, some clenched their fists, and some gritted their teeth.
"Those unscrupulous people in the government office!"
"Don't let anyone hurt our baby!"
"Don't let anyone touch her even if you risk your life!"
Even the old people in Fushan Hall were infected, and they all rushed out to join the villagers.
