"If you don't mind, come in and have some food together."
The door was gently opened, and the woman looked at Xu Miaomiao and the others and spoke. Xu Miaomiao nodded: "Thank you for your trouble."
They were all very simple meals, white porridge, pickled radishes and some pancakes.
Xu Miaomiao broke off a piece of the biscuit, put it in her mouth, and looked at the Xuguo next to it.
Xuguo understood what Xu Miaomiao meant and said, "Grandma, I noticed earlier that the crops and vegetables here are not growing well. Is this due to the natural disaster this year?"
Hearing Xuguo's words, the woman's pupils shrank nervously and she waved her hands quickly: "It's... a natural disaster."
"I don't know what's going on."
The woman was a little frightened and didn't say much. She kept muttering, "I don't know, I don't know."
When the old man at the side heard this, he immediately looked up and said to them, "Please stop asking. No one in Shui Village dares to talk about this matter now. Please don't embarrass us."
After hearing this, Xu Miaomiao and Xu Guo beside her didn't say much.
After dinner, Dabao went out to find out what was going on, and Li Yi and Xuguo waited in the house with Xu Miaomiao.
"Master, these things are strange in the first place. Why don't these people dare to talk about them? Besides, what's wrong with telling us?"
Xu Miaomiao smiled and said nothing.
Li Yi continued, "Why hasn't Dabao come back yet? He should let me go with him."
"Don't make trouble here." Xuguo, who was standing by, listened to his mumbling and said unhappily, "If you go with Dabao, I'm afraid everyone in the village will know why we came here. You should just stay here honestly."
Listening to Xuguo's words, Li Yi curled his lips.
"alright."
Xu Miaomiao reached out and touched Li Yi's hair, then spoke: "You are so good at martial arts, so you have to stay here to protect us. If you are not here, I will be scared."
After hearing Xu Miaomiao's comfort, Li Yi regained his joy and nodded to Xu Miaomiao: "Okay, Master said so, I will naturally protect you."
Young people should not be so arrogant at this age. If Xu Miaomiao didn't stop them, I'm afraid they might really fight.
The door was pushed open, and Dabao walked slowly to Xu Miaomiao and bowed to her, saying, "Mother, I have checked. People in this village generally don't dare to go out, especially at night, and they keep their doors closed. And now I have found a place in the east of the village."
"Somewhere."
Xu Miaomiao asked curiously. Dabao didn't say anything more. Xuguo on the side said, "I'm afraid it's a temple. Let's go and see this temple together today."
Everyone nodded.
The sun had just set and there was still some afterglow, so the sky was not dark, but every household had locked their doors and windows and no one went out.
Seeing this, everyone ignored everything and walked outside together.
The village seemed to be the same as usual, but it also exuded a strange atmosphere.
When she arrived in front of the temple, Xu Miaomiao was still a little shocked. There was a statue of a woman enshrined inside.
The woman was wearing a thin blue shirt and holding a stalk of wheat in her hand. She looked quite old. The temple was also a bit dilapidated. However, although it was a dilapidated temple, there were many offerings in front of it.
"This is the Vega phase. They had previously destroyed the Vega phase, but because the food this year was like this, they started repairing it."
Xuguo, who was standing by, looked at the temple with the tribute in his hand and then spoke slowly.
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao also looked up at the statue.
However, there are signs that it was smashed by someone, and it has not been repaired yet. It doesn't matter that the temple looks dilapidated, but people still come here to worship.
"Since it's the Weaver Girl, and they're afraid of her, why don't they just build a new one?"
Li Yi was still a little confused, so he looked at everyone and spoke.
Dabao smiled and patted Li Yi's arm with his sword: "They haven't sold any grain this year, so where can they get the money to repair this temple?"
"So what happened back then, and who are these murderers?" Xu Miaomiao supported her head and lowered her head in confusion.
"Who, come out!"
Dabao was startled and quickly chased after the eye that had just appeared at the window.
When Li Yi heard the sound, he immediately took out his sword and stood in front of Xu Miaomiao to protect her.
Knowing that there was no movement nearby, everyone went out.
Dabao drew his sword and pointed it at the man on the ground.
The man on the ground was lying on the ground, with messy hair and tattered clothes, looking like a beggar.
"He is the man picked up by the Weaver Girl." Xuguo stared at the man and spoke immediately.
Hearing Xuguo say this, Xu Miaomiao took two steps forward and squatted in front of the man, wanting to take his pulse to diagnose him. Dabao, who was standing by, did not dare to relax, for fear that he would hurt Xu Miaomiao, so he held the sword against him.
"Mother, how is it?"
When Dabao asked, Xu Miaomiao withdrew his hand and stood up, staring at the man on the ground, and said thoughtfully: "Strange, his pulse is normal, I didn't find anything abnormal, but he seems to be poisoned."
"Poisoned?"
Dabao spoke in confusion.
Xu Guo, who was standing by, heard this and stepped forward, looking at the man on the ground and said, "He was picked up by the Weaver Girl. If there really was a natural disaster, it wouldn't be surprising for people to poison him to vent their anger. But this man is really weird, I'm afraid the poison is not that simple. Sister Xu, do you know what the poison is?"
"It's a common poisonous weed that can be found in the Black Mountains. Everyone knows about it, but the antidote isn't hard to find. It's just a matter of how the poison was used."
Xu Miaomiao was also a little curious.
"Who else could it be? It must be those villagers. They don't dare to provoke me, so they vent their anger on him."
Listening to Li Yi's words, Xu Guo did not say anything, and Xu Miaomiao on the side also did not comment. There were too many doubts about this matter.
"Since he is innocent, let him go." Xu Miaomiao said immediately.
Hearing Xu Miaomiao's words, Dabao immediately put away his sword, and the man left like a madman.
"Sister Xu, what do you think about this matter?"
Xuguo immediately asked Xu Miaomiao.
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao smiled, looked at Xu Guo and said slowly: "You are obviously the best at this matter, and I believe you must have already had the answer in your mind."
Xu Guo smiled and didn't say anything more. He just nodded and looked at Xu Miaomiao without saying anything more.
