Chapter 262: Good and Evil in Human Nature
"Where did you hide Xue Rong?" Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore and rushed forward to ask, "Do you want us all to die before you hand over Xue Rong?"
"Isn't everything I do now the same thing you did to my mother and me back then?" Madam Mei walked out of the ancestral hall.
Most of the people who gathered at the gate of the ancestral hall that night were witnesses of Yan Niang's incident. When they saw Madam Mei's face clearly, they were so scared that they dared not speak.
The young people didn't know what was going on and were still shouting, "You are the one who destroyed our snow mushroom and trapped us here?"
"Snow mushroom?" Madam Mei said these two words with a smile and sarcasm, "Do you know how snow mushrooms grow?"
"Madam, please be careful with your words!" A man with a sinister look suddenly interrupted Madam Mei.
Madam Mei opened her red lips and explained the origin of Xuerong in detail.
Several decades ago, when Ning County was hit by a famine, the Ning clan leader saved a young boy from the Miao area. In order to express his gratitude to the Ning clan leader for saving his life, the boy used witchcraft to make snow mushrooms grow out of the cracked ground. In order to survive, the people of Ning County ate the snow mushrooms to prolong their lives.
The people of Ning County seemed to have survived the famine by relying on snow mushrooms, and the young man from Miao also left.
I didn’t expect that eating a lot of snow mushrooms would be addictive. If you can’t eat snow mushrooms all the time, your skin will start to fester.
As the young men from Miaojiang left, the snow mushrooms gradually withered. If all the snow mushrooms disappeared, what would the people of Ning County do?
Perhaps God would not destroy Ning County, and the Ning clan leader found a way to make the snow fungus continue to grow, which is to water the snow fungus growing on the ground with human blood, and the snow fungus will continue to grow and spread.
This is why snow mushrooms only grow in Ning County.
The descendants of the Ning family also discovered that taking a small amount of snow mushroom has a calming effect, so they figured out a way to make money and became merchants selling snow mushroom as medicine.
Hearing this, Su Chenyu suddenly became angry. How could this person from the Ning family be so obsessed?
Taking a large amount of snow mushroom will initially make people addicted. In places unknown to them, are there people who have been using snow mushroom as medicine for a long time, but died of skin ulcers after stopping the drug?
Madam Mei revealed the truth about the snow mushroom, which was not a secret to the older generation.
For decades, people have been eating snow mushrooms. In order to survive, they have to keep eating. In order to eat snow mushrooms, people have been dying in the dark places of Ning County. Their blood has been drained and the snow mushrooms have grown all over the ground.
But this is too much of a shock to young people. They can’t believe that this is how they eat snow mushrooms: “So we are like this now because the supply of snow mushrooms is cut off?”
The man with sinister eyes spoke again: "That's right, if it weren't for those bandits who burned all the snow mushrooms, how could we have become like this?"
"What if we water it with blood again?" Finally, someone asked this question.
The man shook his head. "There are no more. Snow mushrooms can only reproduce if you pour blood on them. But the fire destroyed all the snow mushrooms."
"So we're all going to die?" The young man obviously couldn't believe it. "You clearly knew the harmful effects of snow mushrooms, so why did you let us eat them since we were little?"
