The seventh copy
Xu Shan, a well-known philanthropist in this area, came from a family of boatmen who later made their fortune by buying and selling goods and transporting them.
This man was not tall and was a bit fat, but he had a kind face. When he grew up, he married a beautiful wife and concubines, and had children, each one more handsome than the last. Among them, the one Xu Shan loved the most was the youngest son of the Xu family.
I was just about to find a servant for my son, but I don't know how the eldest prince got wind of it, but he actually sent someone to bring a letter.
Xu Shan was shocked when he saw it.
He did not sleep all night, and on the second day he finally realized that the order was difficult to disobey, so he simply let the prince's men do the work and did not get involved at all.
Xu Shan was the first to know that Du Ming and Wang Dabao were taken back to the Xu family. He paused playing with the bird and cursed.
Du Ming hadn't seen Mr. Xu for several days, only the servants brought him meals every day.
One day, he was standing at the window looking out when he noticed a pair of eyes fixed on him.
Du Ming looked up and his eyes met someone standing in the corridor.
Not only is he dressed in gorgeous clothes and has a noble temperament, but his appearance is also somewhat similar to his appearance in another branch line.
Du Ming suddenly realized who this person was.
The eldest prince!
Don't think of anyone else except this one.
It will be relatively easy to deal with the matter once we know the mastermind behind it.
The only remaining question now is how to solve the current dilemma.
What happened next was just as Du Ming had expected. The servant had drugged the food. He identified it as a drug that caused hair growth and also affected mental function.
Of course, the change will only occur when a certain dose is taken.
Du Ming advised Wang Dabao not to eat, but the child refused to listen. Instead, he thought Du Ming was trying to harm him and raised his hand to hit him.
Someone dodged it in time and no one cared about it anymore.
Things changed when one night, Wang Dabao's arms first started growing hair, then his whole body and head.
He screamed and attacked people and objects around him like crazy.
Hearing the noise, the servants hurried over from somewhere else.
Du Ming glanced at Wang Dabao, put on a mask, and squatted pitifully in a corner where the other party could not attack him, pretending to cry.
By the time the servants arrived, Wang Dabao had gone completely crazy.
Because the only one who had actually seen the two of them was the first servant, and although the other party was a little puzzled as to why Wang Dabao had lost some weight, he didn't think much about it.
Besides, the real Wang Dabao on the other side went crazy and had super strong fighting power.
At first, two or three servants couldn't catch him, but later they finally caught him, but they were almost bitten by him.
Even though Xu Shan finally asked a doctor to diagnose it as a strange disease, the reputation of the monster eventually spread.
Wang Laichang, who was sitting at the entrance of Xiaoli Village smoking a pipe, was a little stunned when he received the news.
After a while, he suddenly slapped his thigh, and his eyes and eyebrows revealed joy.
"Yeah, okay." Wang Lai could hardly utter a word, and just kept repeating the word "okay".
The people who came urged him impatiently to spread the news quickly.
Only then did Wang Laichang come to his senses, changed his expression, and walked towards the village with his hands behind his back.
Perhaps he was a lotus root spirit in his previous life, and in this life, he was full of scheming. Wang Laichang did not actively spread the news, but took the opportunity to let a few gossipy women in the village know about it during a few casual conversations.
Ever since Du Ming was sent away, Wang Xiaocao felt like his backbone had been taken away, and he couldn't muster any energy for several days.
A few days ago, I went to the village head's house to inquire, but was always "persuaded" to come back with excuses.
That day, she was washing by the stream, and next to her were several gossipy women in the village. When Wang Xiaocao first came to Xiaoli Village with her son, they were ostracized by several of them.
Now that he saw them, he naturally didn't want to pay any attention to them. He just quietly chose a seat a little further away and listened to their chatter from time to time.
"Have you heard that something strange happened recently at the residence of Mr. Xu, the Great Kind Man?"
"Strange thing?"
"What's strange? Tell me quickly."
"Oh, don't worry, I just heard it from hearsay. I heard that the servant boy in the Xu family first grew hair all over his body for no apparent reason, and then started biting people, as if he had gone crazy."
"Oh my, this is horrifying. You are not lying to us."
"Get lost! When have I, Zhao Chunliu, ever lied to you?"
...
At first, Wang Xiaocao didn't care. After all, don't listen to what Zhao Chunliu said. In fact, seven out of the ten sentences were exaggerated by her, and the remaining three were heard from others.
Don't take it seriously.
But this time it was different. What Zhao Chunliu said was very convincing, and the content she said was also very detailed.
Xu Mansion, Changmao, Book Boy... ?
For no apparent reason, Wang Xiaocao felt a surge of panic in her heart. She dropped the clothes in her hands and hurried to the village head's house.
When she arrived, Wang Laichang was standing in the yard with his hands behind his back, his face gloomy.
When he saw her expression suddenly froze, then he smiled, "Hey, Xiaocao is here."
The ominous premonition grew stronger and stronger. Wang Xiaocao quickly walked over and almost grabbed the village head's clothes to speak, "Li Zheng! Tell me, has something happened to Shi Tou?"
Wang Laichang hesitated to speak, and after a while he finally made up his mind and told the whole story.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaocao's legs went weak and he couldn't even stand.
She muttered to herself in a daze: "No... No!"
"Li Zheng, you lied to me, didn't you? You lied to me! You must have lied to me... Wuwuwu——"
Wang Xiaocao did not show up for the next two days. It was not because she didn't want to, but because she was so shocked by the sudden news that day that she fell ill. It was not until the third night that she had the strength to get up.
Before she could go out to find out the news, she heard a knock on the door. "Xiao Cao! Is Xiao Cao home?"
Wang Xiaocao forced herself to open the door, but someone grabbed her wrist. "They're planning to take Xiao Shitou...to Qishan... Hurry out! If you hurry, you might be able to...catch one last glimpse."
Wang Lai spoke haltingly, as if he was genuinely thinking for others, but in fact, his sinister intentions were known only to himself.
On the other hand, since Wang Dabao went crazy, Du Ming was called to stay in another place, and that woodshed became a place specifically for imprisoning "monsters".
During this period, Du Ming couldn't escape.
Fortunately, the Xu family recognized him as Wang Laichang's grandson and did not withhold his food.
Some time passed like this, and one night Du Ming was suddenly pulled out of bed.
Outside the house were servants of the Xu Mansion holding torches. Du Ming didn't recognize the one leading them, but there was a man behind him holding a tattered cloth bag, which was constantly bulging with bulges here and there.
Du Ming suddenly realized that the critical point had arrived!
