Chapter 54 It’s time to be released from prison
"No, uncles and aunts, this place is really not suitable for people to live in." Lu Shishen said in embarrassment.
Lu Yongshun said firmly, "We can always find a way! If the water source is gone, we can dig a well. We can't leave this home that we built with our own hands!"
"If it weren't for a group of strangers coming in, the villagers wouldn't have made such a mistake and provoked the wild beasts. In the past few years, the wild beasts have rarely dared to come here!"
"What do you mean by seizing the wild beasts' territory? How can the mountains and forests only belong to wild beasts? When our village becomes stronger, they will just run away!"
grass!
After all, it's all their fault, huh?
He is quite ambitious and wants to take over the entire forest!
You’re dreaming!
Sang Ning sneered, "You still want to expand the village. You are ignorant and stupid. You don't even know that the water sources are connected by the same vein. You won't find good water around here no matter how much you dig."
"If you keep drinking this kind of water, none of you will survive within two years!"
The villagers were horrified.
Lu Shishen asked hurriedly, "Miss Sang, do you know what's wrong with the water?"
"Don't you know it yourself? More and more villagers are getting sick. It's definitely a problem with the water source."
"One more thing, the issue of offspring is not as simple as you said."
"Then it's not just a water problem, it's also about your inbreeding."
"Close relatives, get married."
Lu Shishen repeated, a puzzled look on his face: "Are you talking about the issue of people with the same surname not being able to marry? But we've already avoided it."
In fact, at this time, the ancients had already recognized the dangers of marrying close relatives, especially those who practiced medicine.
Lu Shishen had read in the notes left by his grandfather that relatives with the same surname within three generations were not allowed to marry each other, and this was strictly restricted by the government.
The villagers of Lujia Village are not barbarians, and their ancestors are not so ignorant as to make such mistakes.
But their understanding is still insufficient. They only know the facts but not the reasons behind them.
"It's not just people with the same surname. Cousins, aunts, and other collateral relatives are all considered close relatives. You guys are all in-laws here, it's a mess. So after you get married, the chances of your children getting sick are very high. They can be deaf-mute, deformed, or mentally retarded..."
Nowadays, the government only imposes restrictions on people with the same surname, and ordinary people do not understand the reason, so collateral relatives still like to marry closer relatives.
"Why do children born between relatives get sick?" asked a childish voice.
Only then did Sang Ning notice Jintang standing beside him.
"Why are you here?"
"My fourth uncle asked me to come here. He was afraid that you would be bullied."
Sang Ning was amused and patted his head: "Your fourth uncle is taking a walk with you!"
She looked over there.
The boy's face was tilted to the side, with the intact side facing this side. He looked really good.
Jintang whispered, "No, Fourth Uncle is really worried about you. He said they are very united. Even the most reasonable people will side with their own family in the end."
Sang Ning nodded. "Okay, I'll take note. I'll tell you when I have time why close relatives can't get married."
Everything that needed to be said had been said, and Sang Ning didn't want to stay here any longer.
"Can we get someone to take us out of the valley now?" she asked Lu Shishen.
Feng Dali immediately shouted, "I, I, I, I'll take you there."
Sang Ning gave a final warning: "Whether you leave the mountain or not, this place is not a place to stay for long. Find another water source and move away as soon as possible."
Lu Shishen gave a bitter laugh. "How could it be easier said than done? To be honest, ever since the water started to smell strange, I've been looking for herbs and have visited many places, but there's nothing suitable for human habitation."
"We must leave. Miss and Brother Huo, please help the hundreds of people in Lujia Village!"
Lu Shishen spoke sincerely and made up his mind, never to waver.
But this time, the old guys didn't say anything.
Two years. No one survived.
This frightened them.
Only one person looked sad: "But the village chief..."
"I remember now, that's not what the village chief said." Another villager suddenly said.
Everyone looked at him in surprise.
The villager's face was serious, and he said in a deer-like voice: "No! Go! No, no, don't stay!"
He simply changed the pause in the middle and the tone, and the profound language changed its flavor.
"Did the village chief say that?" Lu Yongshun asked the others, shaking his beard.
The others who witnessed Lu Zhiming's death were stunned for a moment.
I think, that's what it says, right?
Yes! That’s what I said!
They all nodded, emphatically.
A group of old guys headed by Lu Yongshun: "..."
"Then, let's get out of the mountains!"
Passed unanimously.
Sanning: "..."
That clever brother, why didn’t you say so earlier?
It makes everyone waste so much saliva.
"You will have to stay here for a while. Once my husband is settled in Liangzhou, I will send someone to pick him up."
This is what Huo Changan said to Feng Dali and Lu Shishen at that time.
Of course Lu Shishen knew.
As long as they agree, there's nothing to worry about.
It's just... the protection against wild animals can be improved, and the water source...
Sang Ning had already spoken again: "As for the water source problem, I will first teach you a filtering method. Don't be afraid of the trouble, just drink it first."
Everyone's eyes lit up and they thanked him repeatedly.
Actually, when I drank that water before, I didn’t feel anything except nausea.
But Sang Ning said that he would not live more than two years...so no one dared to drink a single sip.
It would be great if it could be filtered the same as before!
Sang Ning asked someone to find something to filter the water.
Lu Yongshun came to Lu Shishen silently.
"Shi Shen, actually, your parents weren't arrested because their identities were discovered."
"They weren't familiar with the outside world. They were cheated out of their money, and then stabbed to death during an argument. By the time the officials arrived, they were already dead."
Lu Shishen was shocked that this was the case!
"I'm sorry, Shi Shen. We and the village chief were indeed frightened by the people outside, so we came back and said this."
They have never been out since they were young, they don't know anything, and they are afraid of people. Once they go out, they encounter things like this.
I am even more scared, even more scared.
That's why the younger generation is always under control and not allowed to go out and take risks.
After a brief moment of grief, Lu Shishen's eyes became more determined.
“So, Uncle Yongshun, it’s time for us to get out. After 60 years, we should be released from prison for the mistakes our ancestors made.
We cannot allow our descendants to become stupid pigs and dogs."
