Chapter 860 Good News and Bad News
The pigs were originally diseased and died, so they carried germs. Although cooking them at high temperatures can kill most of the germs, it still can't withstand eating them year after year.
The first to fall ill in their family were the man's children from his previous marriage. The children were still growing, and pork was a relatively precious food in this not-so-wealthy area.
Adults are reluctant to eat it and save it for the children. If the children eat too much of it, they will naturally get sick first.
Then came the man himself. Shang Qiuyan thought she would be an exception because she hated the smell of dead pig meat and had stopped eating meat in dishes a long time ago.
But since they were family, eating and doing things together, Shang Qiuyan ultimately couldn't escape it.
"She had witnessed the unbearable suffering of her husband and children after contracting the disease, and she had also seen the villagers struggling in terror and disarray after contracting the disease. She was terrified."
Feng Tianyu raised an eyebrow, not quite understanding this woman's logic: "So, she came back to take revenge on the Ji family?"
"In her view, there were three people who caused the tragedy of her life. The husband who bought her was dead. The man who sold her had disappeared. The only ones left were the Ji family, who had no regrets about their past actions and had stayed in the same place. She could find them when she came back. Since she was going to die, she naturally wanted to come back and take someone down with her."
Did she say how many people died in that place?
"Yes, according to her, most of the village’s hundred or so households have died, and the rest probably won’t survive."
Feng Tianyu's expression changed slightly: "This is no small matter."
So many people died at once, and because of this kind of thing, some people are to blame.
"Xiao Jihui has received the news and should have already sent people to handle it."
As soon as Ye Wanxi finished speaking, her phone rang. It was Xiao Jihui calling.
The call was brief, lasting less than two minutes.
After hanging up the phone, Feng Tianyu looked at Ye Wanxi, hesitant to speak.
Ye Wanxi's heart skipped a beat, and she asked anxiously, "What happened?"
"Xiao Jihui just told me some good news and some bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"
Ye Wanxi disliked this choice, but couldn't suppress her curiosity, and frowned as she said, "Good news."
"The floodwaters in the water town have receded, and the losses have been tallied. Although many houses were damaged and many businesses suffered significant property losses, thankfully, there were no casualties."
This is indeed very good news. The flood in the town was fierce, and if the people in the town had not evacuated in time, not to mention all their possessions, it would have been questionable whether they would have survived.
Ye Wanxi already had a feeling about this when she received the tribulation lightning, and now that she had received a definite answer, the matter was settled, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"And... what's the bad news?"
“The bad news is…” Feng Tianyu’s expression darkened slightly, “Xiao Jihui’s people have found where that guy is hiding by looking through Bai Huahua’s past memories.”
As soon as Feng Tianyu finished speaking, Bai Huahua, who was walking past the two of them, froze. She was unsure whether to stay and listen or pretend nothing had happened and turn away.
Ye Wanxi didn't give it a chance to choose. Seeing it standing there dumbfounded and at a loss, she simply scooped it up and brought it back to listen together.
"We found where he was hiding? Isn't that great news?"
"Finding the location is certainly good news, but unfortunately, they were too slow. Just as they confirmed the location of the mountain, before they even reached its foot, they heard that the mountain had suddenly caught fire in the middle of the night two days ago. In this weather, everything is already dry, and the fire started in the middle of the night, so by the time it was discovered, it had already been burning for a long time."
"The mountain is said to have been burned down to its bare state. There are hardly any houses left, and even the trees are almost gone."
After Feng Tianyu finished speaking, his bright white eyes completely dimmed.
When Ye Wanxi saw its appearance, she knew that it still hadn't let go of the past.
All the beautiful and heartwarming moments of the past, whether painful or not, vanished with the smoke of this fire.
The man left resolutely, without looking back, which made the other bird seem hesitant and indecisive, truly pathetic.
Bai Huahua felt a pang of self-loathing, then felt a warm, large hand gently stroking its head.
"That's fine too."
"squeak?"
Before it could react, Ye Wanxi stroked its fluffy white fur again: "A fire has completely erased your past. From now on, you have nothing to do with each other, and you will be enemies if you meet again. Or is it that you still can't let go of him and want to go find him?"
"Squeak!!!" Who's going to look for him? It's not a masochist; it almost got skinned and dismembered, yet it's still eager to be tortured.
"That settles it. It was just a fabricated warmth, a mirage. Now it's just that the mirror is broken and the water is stained. Three-legged toads are hard to find in this world, but there are plenty of two-legged men. Why hang yourself on one tree?"
Bai Huahua: "..." It seems to make sense, but something seems wrong?
Feng Tianyu, the man with two legs: "..."
Ye Wanxi was comforting Bai Huahua, the little rabbit who had finally returned to the family under the pretext of visiting other neighbors. She had just heard the little black dog in the backyard boasting in a teasy tone about how she had recently done a good deed and received praise from her little master, and even had several extra meals. She was already feeling a little depressed.
Back in the front yard, he saw Ye Wanxi embracing her new lover and touching him enthusiastically. He immediately felt as jealous as if he had eaten a pound of lemons. He angrily jumped to Ye Wanxi's feet, grabbed Ye Wanxi's trouser leg, and acted pitiful and coquettish.
Ye Wanxi felt a weight on her feet, looked down and saw the little rabbit squatting beside her. She blinked and asked softly, "Do you want to hug it too?"
The little rabbit nodded eagerly, gazing at her expectantly.
Unexpectedly, Bai Huahua, who had been hiding in Ye Wanxi's arms and trying to jump down, suddenly stopped when she saw this. She glanced down at the little rabbit and let out a sneer.
To the little rabbit, that smile was nothing short of a provocation.
The little rabbit's fur instantly bristled with anger.
"Gu..."
Get out of here! Get down here!
"squeak……"
You think I'll just come down if you tell me to? Then come up here if you dare!
"Coo coo!!! Coo coo coo!!!"
You little vixen, get down here right now! If I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't know who the real queen is!
"Squeak!!! Squeak squeak squeak!!!"
I won't lower it, I won't lower it, what can you do about it? Hehehe...
The two adorable little creatures, about the same size, were exchanging heated insults. Although Ye Wanxi didn't know what they were saying, she could vaguely sense that they weren't saying anything nice.
She wanted to mediate the fight, but didn't know how, so she looked to her senior brother for help.
Feng Tianyu's lips curled slightly. He pinched the rabbit by the scruff of its neck with one hand and the white flesh with the other, lifting it up to make it look at him. He sneered, "Mine."
