Xu Xiaotang, who was walking beside Si Muqiao, narrowed her eyes slightly.
She quickly ran to Si Muqiao, lifted the stool beside her, and smashed it hard on his father's head.
The kitchen knife in Xu Xiaotang's father's hand fell to the ground with a thud, and the whole person fell down with a grim face.
When he fell down, his eyes were still staring at Xu Xiaotang, as if he died with his eyes open.
"Xiaotang, are you okay?" Si Muqiao asked worriedly.
"My benefactor, I'm fine." Xu Xiaotang said these words with trembling teeth.
She killed someone.
She killed her own father with a stool.
Because her biological father wanted to kill the person who saved her.
When her biological father came, he stared at her with a very dissatisfied look.
Is he blaming his daughter for being cruel?
But she doesn't regret it.
"I'm sorry." Xu Xiaotang closed her eyes for three seconds, then looked up at Si Muqiao and apologized.
If it wasn't for saving her and the little girl who was killed in the yard, the benefactor in front of him would not have been frightened by this scene.
She could tell that the benefactor wearing the hat was also a girl.
Her voice was as clear and sweet as a nightingale, and her hands looked white and tender. She looked like a young wealthy lady.
She had seen many wealthy ladies from Guozhou City on the streets before, and they all treated her as a beggar.
Those people are either weak and timid, or arrogant, noble, and untainted by the world. They appear gentle on the outside but are disdainful on the inside.
But her benefactor was different. She was glowing with golden light, and spoke to her gently and calmly, with obvious concern.
She had never experienced this kind of care since she was a child.
Her parents have always disliked her since she was born, making her have endless work to do and endure endless beatings and scolding every day.
She even clearly remembered that from the time she could remember till now, she had only eaten meat three times.
Just because she is a woman, she is what they call a money-loser.
So, even though her parents died, she wasn't sad at all.
real.
But I don't know why, the tears just kept flowing out.
"Xu Xiaotang, you haven't let me down."
"Just now, thanks to you, thank you."
Si Muqiao walked over and squatted in front of Xu Xiaotang. She took out the handkerchief she carried with her and wiped the tears from Xu Xiaotang's face bit by bit.
Then, he reached out and hugged her, patting her back gently.
A little girl of seven or eight years old was able to react so quickly at that time and helped her without hesitation.
It's really amazing.
She even wondered whether the little girl's worldview had been impacted after having been frightened so many times today.
Will it have any impact on her future personality and life?
Xu Xiaotang fell asleep.
He closed his eyes and fell asleep after Xu Wei pressed his acupoints.
"Miss Erya, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, let's go."
Perhaps because of the shock of the scene just now, Si Muqiao's mentality is now a little more stable than before.
"When you get back, find someone to deal with their bodies."
"That poor little girl, let's erect a nameless tombstone for her."
"Yes." Xu Wei nodded in agreement.
After returning to the villa, Murong Qingli and Feng Liuyu had not returned yet, but the sky was gradually getting dark.
Si Muqiao asked the people in the other courtyard to prepare hot water, and then took a bath.
After taking a shower, she found that Xu Xiaotang had woken up.
After someone brought the warm porridge to Xu Xiaotang, Xu Xiaotang thanked him and drank up the porridge in the bowl obediently.
"I've asked someone to prepare some hot water. Go take a shower first. The clothes are also ready. They're just in there."
"Sleep with me tonight, and we can talk tomorrow."
"Yes, thank you, sister." Xu Xiaotang nodded and thanked her seriously.
Unexpectedly, the sister who saved her turned out to be so beautiful.
She could swear that this was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen.
How could her life be so good!
Xu Xiaotang finished her bath quickly, then quickly lay down on the bed and closed her eyes.
Si Muqiao hasn't slept yet. She is thinking about something.
There will be a great epidemic after a great disaster!
If she remembered correctly, this sentence should be correct.
If she hadn't witnessed the scene of cannibalism with her own eyes today, she wouldn't have thought of these things.
In that year of severe drought, the people had no food to eat.
In order to survive, we have to find all kinds of food to eat.
Dignity? What is that?
In order to survive, humanity is lost.
Grass roots, tree bark, and Guanyin soil. If they are gone, they will eat rats and humans, both the living and the dead.
In years of famine, rats had nothing to eat and could only eat human corpses.
Rats are dirty by nature, they are hosts to various viruses, and they feed on corpses, so they have many viruses on their bodies.
Once they circulate in people's homes, they will bring the virus to the people, causing increasingly serious infectious diseases, which is the legendary plague.
In modern terms, this is the plague.
Plague, also known as the Black Death, was a pandemic with a high mortality rate.
In modern society, it is defined as a Class A managed infectious disease.
Even in modern times where medicine is advanced, with antibiotics and various medical equipment, the mortality rate is still around 10%.
Not to mention this backward ancient times.
No, this matter must be taken seriously enough.
She didn't know whether the situation she had guessed had actually happened.
But she had to tell Murong Qingli about this in advance.
If it doesn't happen, it's best to take precautions in advance.
If there are signs of this, they need to be dealt with as soon as possible to prevent greater uncontrollable and terrible consequences.
After waiting for almost an hour, Si Muqiao finally saw Murong Qingli and Feng Liuyu coming back.
They were also very busy with Guozhou's affairs.
As soon as he came back, Xu Wei told Murong Qingli everything that happened during the day without reservation.
Feng Liuyu was sitting nearby, so he naturally heard all of this.
"What? Eating people? It seems that the drought in Guozhou can't be delayed any longer."
"No matter what, food must be distributed tomorrow."
"How is Lady Si? Is she okay?"
Murong Qingli's voice was cold and chilly, and in the chill there was a hint of worry that was not very obvious.
"Your Majesty, I think Lady Si is fine."
"However, after coming back from outside, Concubine Si has been waiting for Your Majesty, saying that she has important matters to report to Your Majesty." Xu Wei began to report.
"Let her come."
"yes."
"Your Majesty, how about I go back first?" Feng Liuyu said.
He always felt that Concubine Si was a woman different from ordinary concubines in the harem.
He even felt that there were many suspicious points about Simiren, and she was particularly worthy of suspicion.
Including today during the day, he mentioned this matter to His Majesty.
But just now, after listening to Xu Wei's report, he had a new understanding of Si Meiren.
No matter how mysterious Si Meiren was, he could feel that Si Meiren was a good person.
She has the pride and magnanimity unique to the Si family in her bones.
It is a kind of demeanor and also an attitude towards life.
"No need, you stay and listen first. I think what Lady Si wants to say should be related to the drought in Guozhou."
