Chapter 231 Don't Treat Him as Your Grandson
Several houses were built next to the Moon Well.
The guards here are the county magistrate's office soldiers, a total of ten people, who take turns day and night.
When Sang Ning arrived, there were still many people pushing water carts or buckets to draw water.
She looked at the edge. The water was clear and she couldn't see anything. She smelled it and it was the same as the one at home, with a strange fishy smell.
This water comes from an underground river, and Sang Ning remembered a story he heard in modern times.
It was said that when someone was cleaning a water tank somewhere, they found a dead mouse inside. The mouse had grown to the size of a cat.
This is what Sang Ning was thinking about at the moment, wondering if something rotten had fallen into the underground river.
Or perhaps some animal fell directly into the well.
She said to the guards, "Don't let the people draw water yet. This well needs to be cleaned. I'm afraid something dirty has fallen into it, and the water tastes wrong."
The palace soldiers all knew her and immediately drove away the people who were fetching water.
"Madam Sang, this well has only been used for a short time. It doesn't need to be cleaned, right?" asked a palace soldier.
"Don't you think the water tastes weird?"
"This...is not available?" the palace soldier said to Huo Jingya.
Huo Jingya raised her brows: "Why are you looking at me? It's my fourth sister-in-law who's asking you!"
This guy, with his squinting eyes, doesn't look like a good person.
"I'm talking to Madam Sang!"
Sang Ning: "I'm on your left?"
"yes!"
????? ?????
Sang Ning and Huo Jingya discovered that this person had a problem with his eyes! He had severe strabismus!
This is not right. Can he be a palace soldier if he has eye problems?
His companion beside him was also very surprised: "Old Hu, weren't your eyes cured a long time ago?"
Lao Hu's eye was shot by a hidden weapon when he was catching an escaped prisoner.
After one eye was injured, the other eye gradually became squinting.
But later his injured eye healed and his slanted eyeball returned to normal. Why is it like this again now?
Old Hu seemed to have just realized that his eyesight was damaged again.
I was so frightened that I wanted to cry.
He can't be a palace soldier anymore, and he is disabled!
Sang Ning and Huo Jingya looked at the companion who was speaking in surprise again.
"Why are your arms shaking while you speak?"
"I……"
What's going on?
His arm has healed a long time ago. It’s been seven or eight years since he was injured. How come he’s out of control again?
Sang Ning looked at the well water solemnly, and thought of Xiaolian's father's eyes.
It's also a recurrence of old injuries.
"Go find a bamboo pole!"
This is not just about getting dirty, it's likely about getting poison that damages the immune system!
It's okay if it's in a well, but if it's in an underground river, it would be troublesome.
The well was originally dug to a depth of fourteen meters, and it took three bamboo poles connected together to reach the bottom.
Because it was too deep, Sang Ning's feeling was not very accurate. He inserted it back and forth many times before he was sure that there was really something underneath.
A palace soldier found an iron hook, tied a weight to it, and swung it around underneath.
"Hooked."
Everyone watched with wide eyes as he carried the things up bit by bit.
"It looks like waterweed."
"Will aquatic plants grow in well water?" Huo Jingya asked doubtfully.
"It's possible. But this well has been used for a short time, so it's unlikely to grow aquatic plants," said Sang Ning.
Then, the floating object finally surfaced.
“Oh my god!”
"ah!"
What is that?
It's hair!
It's hair with a piece of scalp attached!
On the tip of the hook was a piece of blistered white scalp, which was being lifted to the edge of the well.
After a few terrifying screams, there was silence for a few seconds.
Then, there was a burst of vomiting sounds.
Huo Jingya also tasted that water, and she also washed her clothes with that water!
My scalp is tingling and I feel nauseous.
"vomit--"
"Something happened, something happened..." Sang Ning muttered to himself.
She stared at the water surface, and through a distance of more than ten meters, she seemed to see a corpse lying face up, with its dark eyes open, looking at her.
"You've been guarding here day and night, haven't you discovered anything?" she shouted to the palace guards.
Nothing found, nothing found.
They didn't neglect their duties either.
The water source of Liangzhou City is a big deal. They were chosen to be the guards and were entrusted with an important task. How could they let down the adults’ trust!
What on earth is going on!
"Do you remember that a few nights ago, we heard a sound of water?" said Lao Hu.
"When I ran out to look, I didn't see anyone."
"Yes, we thought a night bird had fallen in and flown away."
It’s over!
It seems that this is exactly what happened that night!
What's next?
yes……
"Zeng Sanjin, come with me!"
A soldier made a quick decision, took off his shirt, and jumped into the icy well without hesitation.
…
When Zhao Xiaoyong returned home, he smelled the mouth-watering aroma of meat.
"Mom, what did you make? It smells so good!"
Aunt Goose looked at her son with a smile.
"Is it fragrant? These are some seasonings given by Madam Huo. She said they make delicious dishes, and they really are delicious!"
When Zhao Xiaoyong took a look, he found that it was a large bowl of meat with some red and green seasonings in it, which he didn't recognize.
I picked up the chopsticks and took a bite.
"Delicious, what kind of meat is this?"
Aunt Goose sighed: "He really learned the rules outside. If it were in the past, wouldn't he have caught him earlier?"
Zhao Xiaoyong was stunned and looked at Aunt Goose.
But Aunt Goose still smiled kindly and picked up several pieces with chopsticks and put them in his bowl.
"Eat quickly, eat quickly. I stewed Xiaoyong. He won't lay eggs anymore, which would be a waste of food. Just eat him. It's just the right amount to replenish you."
Zhao Xiaoyong froze again.
Stew...Xiaoyong?
Knowing that his mother had mistaken the goose for him in recent years, Zhao Xiaoyong still felt uncomfortable when he heard it. However, he also felt sorry for his mother.
"Mom, I have something to tell you." Zhao Xiaoyong put down his chopsticks.
"If you don't listen, eat the meat first, otherwise it will get cold." Aunt Goose pretended to order.
He busily found a few pieces of good meat and put them into his bowl.
Zhao Xiaoyong had no choice but to quickly finish all the meat in the bowl.
I have to say, this meat is so delicious that my mouth feels numb after eating it, and I want to keep eating.
So he ate a few more pieces with his mouth slicked.
Aunt Goose poured him more water.
Zhao Xiaoyong gulped down the whole bowl.
Anyway, the water was drawn earlier, so even if there were some unclean spots, he had already sprinkled the antidote on it.
"Mom, you eat too."
Zhao Xiaoyong picked up a lot more for Aunt Goose.
Aunt Goose started eating slowly.
"Son, what do you want to tell me?"
"Mom, I told you not to be angry. My son can't marry Xiaolian."
"Why?" Aunt Goose's voice was calm.
Zhao Xiaoyong didn't notice.
"Mom, actually, I've already married a wife and have a son.
Mom, you have a grandson now, and he's so cute."
"Really? Where is he? What's his name? Bring him to see me soon." Aunt Goose was very anxious.
Zhao Xiaoyong felt half relieved.
I know that what my mother is most anxious about is having a grandson.
"Mom, his name is Kuku. He's a bit far from here. Can I take you to see him?"
"Kuku...it sounds so ugly." Aunt Goose was no longer anxious.
"He's just a grandson, there's no reason for me, his grandmother, to see him. If he wants to come, then come. If he doesn't, I won't treat him as my grandson!"
Zhao Xiaoyong was a little surprised.
Mom, why are you speaking so... harshly?
Aunt Goose raised her hand, slowly took off the silver hairpin her son had brought her, and immediately inserted it into the goose meat in the bowl.
