Chapter 230 Becoming One of the Dominators
Sang Ning didn't think much about it and asked again: "Uncle, do you feel that the water you are drinking now tastes a little strange?"
"ah?"
Isn't that right? He didn't notice.
I’ve drunk the muddy water from the Shatu River and the water from the stinky puddles before, but the water from the Moon Well is so clean and delicious!
What's wrong?
Xiaolian's father hunched his back and looked at Sang Ning in confusion.
The sun was shining in his eyes.
Sanning was startled.
His eyes are so red, like two red lanterns!
"Oh, I'm sorry to scare you. When I was young, I worked day and night to look after the crops for my master, and my eyes were damaged.
Now, whenever I feel unwell, my eyes get irritated first. Ahem…"
Xiaolian's father lowered his head, took a few deep breaths, and started working again.
Sang Ning became more and more surprised and suspicious.
"If you don't feel well, don't do it. Your health is more important."
Xiaolian's father didn't look up and continued to shovel the soil.
He muttered to himself, "I have to work. This month's food is going to be given to Xiaolian as a dowry.
I've finally waited for this good marriage, I can't hold them back... If they don't despise me..."
Sang Ning didn't finish listening, and felt like a huge stone was pressing on his heart.
She looked at Zhao Xiaoyong again.
This guy, there better be no problem!
Sang Ning and Huo Jingya went to the Moon Well.
Not long after they left, Xiaolian's father staggered and fell to the ground.
At the same time, Zhu Fansheng, who has always been stronger than others, also felt dizzy, his legs were numb, and he could not stand steadily.
Liu Sifang and Lu Youtian, who were with him, were all exhausted and sweating.
Another person fell down in the coal yard, and there was chaos.
The village head shouted for someone to find a doctor.
I was frightened when the moon was not full, so I ran over to check.
Some people feel chills, some feel feverish, some develop blisters, some have incessant coughs, and some have numb legs, as if ants are biting them.
In short, they are all different.
When asked, everyone said it was an old problem, but it was more serious this time.
But some people started to whisper behind their backs.
"Is there really something wrong with this coal dust? Otherwise, why did Madam Sang ask us to cover our noses with cloths?"
"Every day when I go back home, I feel a tightness in my chest."
"Stop talking nonsense! If there was a problem, the Huo family wouldn't be doing this themselves." Zhu Fansheng stopped everyone from talking nonsense.
"My legs got frozen when I was stuck in the snow. I almost thought they were going to break. Has everyone forgotten? Doesn't it happen every year? It just came a little early this year!"
Don't let anyone gossip and start talking nonsense. You have no brains. There are so many people who want to come to the coal yard. Maybe it's people from other villages who are deliberately spreading rumors to get us out so they can squeeze in! "
What Zhu Fansheng said made a lot of sense. Many people outside were jealous of their Liuxia Village.
But not all diseases can occur at the same time.
It's just very strange, right?
Someone else said, "We're not the ones who suspect Madam Sang, we're the ones who suspect coal. This thing has never been seen before. Maybe Madam Sang doesn't understand its toxicity?"
"I went to see Uncle Niu yesterday. He was in so much back pain that he couldn't get up. He even said he would rather die. He seemed like he was going crazy. It was really scary," a young man continued.
Seeing that people were becoming increasingly panicked, the village chief told everyone to shut up.
"This stone coal is not poisonous! To tell you the truth, when it was first brought to our village, I thought it was black and looked not good, so I secretly asked a doctor to test it."
As expected of the village head, he was very thoughtful and didn't even believe everything the county governor said.
"I not only had the doctor test it, but I also dissolved it and had my chickens drink it. After seeing that the chickens were fine, I drank a few sips of it myself.
I drank it all and I'm fine, so what are you afraid of? Those people from other villages just want to steal our jobs, don't trust anyone!
Wait until the doctor comes and sees what's going on!"
The villagers finally quieted down, helped everyone up and put them aside, waiting for the doctor to arrive.
"No, no..." Yue Buyuan muttered to himself.
He seemed to have seen these people's symptoms somewhere before. It seemed like... a kind of poison!
It must be recorded in the books left by my grandfather.
My grandfather collected a lot of strange stories and miscellaneous records.
There were so many that he couldn't remember which one it was.
"Uncle Huo, please keep an eye on the coal yard here. I need to go home." He said to Huo Baohong.
"Okay, go ahead."
"Jintang, go home with the teacher to find something."
Yue Buyuan called Jintang and went home together to look for her.
No one knew that the Yue family had a secret basement where all the books written by the grandfather with his life's work were kept.
There are even many rare copies that have been extinct in the world for hundreds of years.
These days, he also understood Jintang's character thoroughly.
I have read almost all the books at home.
You can enter the basement now.
Everyone is busy with their own things.
Zhao Xiaoyong carried Xiaolian's father on his back worriedly.
"I'm afraid uncle can't wait, I'll take him to the clinic first!" His face was full of anxiety, and he strode out of the village with the man on his back.
Zhu Fansheng and others also sighed: "Xiao Lian has found the right person this time. She will never find someone as filial as Xiao Yong again."
However, they could not see that Zhao Xiaoyong turned around and put away his honest expression, and his eyes became cold and ruthless.
The strongest men in the village have all fallen ill, and it is only a matter of time before others fall ill.
His mission was accomplished.
It's time to go.
After leaving the village, he carried Xiaolian's father on his back and entered the woods by the roadside.
"Uncle, don't blame me. If you hadn't insisted on asking for eight taels of silver as a betrothal gift, I wouldn't have gone on a courier mission and been sold into slavery.
My father died with regrets."
Zhao Xiaoyong threw Xiaolian's father to the ground.
"Xiao Lian..." Xiao Lian's father called out weakly, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.
Zhao Xiaoyong poured tung oil on him and said, "Xiao Lian, don't worry. You and your daughter will be reunited on the road to the underworld.
How dare you, a fallen woman, be my wife?
My wife is the noble Miss Tulun, who has pure aristocratic blood..."
The fire broke out everywhere.
Zhao Xiaoyong's eyes were stunned for a moment, and then became arrogant.
From then on, he was no longer a lowly poor boy, nor was he a beast led around by others.
He is a superior person, a small lord with his own territory. In the future, he will become a great lord, be crowned king and become one of the rulers of this land.
The fire was raging.
There was also a fiery red fanaticism in his eyes.
