Chapter 190: Nanzi Traitors Are Not Allowed to Return Home
That night.
The bright moon hangs high in the sky, silver light is shining, and insects are chirping.
The 100,000 mountains of Nanzi are like silent giants in the night, guarding this land from outsiders.
It also stops those who want to go home.
In the night, a figure walked through the bushes, wearing a black bamboo hat and night clothes.
The corners of his clothes brushed against the dew on the bushes, but the heavy cloth could not stop him from moving forward.
The grass in the valley rustled. He suddenly stopped and listened. Flying insects the size of fingernails flew out of his sleeves and circled around him.
The grass beneath my feet seemed to be gently swaying in the night wind. A black snake suddenly stretched out from the grass, its mouth opened wide, and venom sprayed out.
He raised his foot and stepped back quickly to avoid it, but he saw a black snake suddenly appeared behind him and surrounded him.
As soon as he moved, they would pounce on him and inject the poison into his body.
"You come again, you still won't give up?"
A half-naked man walked out from behind the tree. His face was dark, and in the night, only his eyes, which were clearly black and white, could be seen.
He wore a colorful skirt and pants, with silk and silver ornaments hanging on them, and was barefoot and naked.
The hat was tilted on his head, and a string of beads dangled from his ears, almost reaching his shoulders.
"I won't let you into Nanzi, please leave."
As he spoke, a thin black snake emerged from his hat and slowly slid down the beads hanging from his ears.
The man in black whispered, "I want to go in."
"Then they will bite you. They will definitely bite you this time." The naked man could not speak Chinese very well, but he made his point clear.
The surrounding black snakes hissed as well, and when the man in black moved, they immediately jumped up, opened their mouths and showed their fangs.
The hem of his clothes fluttered, and as he leaped up, the heavy clothes swept past the black snake.
He kicked the closest person away, then used his sleeves to block the venom that was spraying out.
He grabbed the black snake that was rushing towards his face with one hand and pinched its head, leaving it with its mouth wide open in vain, unable to bite it.
At this time, another volley of arrows flew over, and the man in black threw away the black snake in his hand and dodged quickly.
He knew that he must not be touched by the arrows, as they were highly poisonous and would kill him if touched.
The arrows at his feet missed him by a hair's breadth each time. The naked man stamped his feet in anger, and the bow and arrow in his hand continued to shoot.
But I only saw the other party rolling on the ground, running into the woods, and jumping on the branches in a few steps.
Ran?
The naked man put away his bow and arrow and looked in the direction he was going.
The scope of Muge Village has nothing to do with him.
The black snakes followed the naked man. He squatted down and touched their bodies, feeling sorry for the black snakes that had been kicked.
"Does it hurt? Let's bite him next time."
----
The man walking through the trees at night looked back and didn't see anyone coming, so he stopped and leaned against a tree to tear open his clothes.
I saw a reddish and black spot on the side of the waist, which was the mark of the arrow.
He took out the ointment from his collar and applied it carefully. His increasingly heavy heartbeat and chilly body told him that
He was poisoned.
The antidote pills were on him. He lifted his hat with one hand to reveal his face, and with the other hand he held the medicine bottle and poured a few pills into his mouth.
Then he sat down and dared not move, waiting for the medicine to take effect and detoxify him, and then he continued his journey at night.
A sigh in the silence made Mo Jingchun immediately tense up and look around in panic.
"Since you have already betrayed me, why come back?"
An old voice came from all around. When Mo Jingchun looked up, he saw a hunchbacked old man with wrinkles all over his face, holding a huge sheep-head cane, standing not far from him.
Her eyelids were droopy and she was as small as a child, but Mo Jingchun could not underestimate her.
When facing a strong person, one must show weakness. Mo Jingchun lowered his eyes and said in a weak voice,
"I have no choice... Please have mercy on me and let me pass this path."
The old man took a step forward, and the bones on the sheep-head crutch looked frighteningly white.
But it was nothing like the words she said that made Mo Jingchun shiver all over.
"I also know about the fire in Qieyue Village. If you were in my village, someone like you who killed thirty people would not be allowed to live one more day."
The old voice was cold and murderous, "You can just run away from Nanzi, but how dare you come back?"
Mo Jingchun suppressed the alternating chills in his body and continued to show weakness.
"That... was not done by me. This time I am going back to clear my name, find the real culprit, and clear my name!"
He thought he spoke passionately, but the old man was skeptical, "Is there someone else who is the real murderer?"
Mo Jingchun only replied, "I am innocent."
The old man stared at him for a while, and was about to let him go, but was stopped by another voice.
"Full of lies."
This time, Mo Jingchun's face turned pale. He looked at the figure walking out of the night and murmured,
"Elder..."
"Don't call me elder! You have been expelled from Qieyue Village! Coming back will be a death sentence!"
The middle-aged woman with a stern voice bowed her head to the old man before her, then pointed at him and cursed,
"You said that you were wrongly accused of burning the city tower! Then, is it also wrong to steal the mother-child Gu from the village and give it to outsiders?!
What are you going to do in Nanzi now? What does your master want? ! "
Mo Jingchun remained silent, because the latter thing was indeed a mistake he made.
but……
"I know that I have committed a grave sin and cannot refute it. I ask the elder to allow me to return to the village. You can kill me or chop me up as you wish."
His good attitude in admitting his guilt could not change the anger of the middle-aged woman.
"No...you can never come back. Your adoptive father begged for your life before he died, but no one in the village wants to see you again...including your adoptive mother..."
"You will be exiled for eternity, with no place to return. If you dare to step into Nanzi again, I will kill you."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave. Mo Jingchun was so anxious that he shouted "Elder!"
She just stopped and didn't look back.
Mo Jingchun had thousands of things to say in his heart, but in the end he only asked one question, "Is she... okay?"
The elder naturally knew who he was talking about, "Your foster mother is old and cannot stand being frightened.
If you don't show up, it will be the greatest filial piety to him."
After saying this, the man disappeared into the night.
Mo Jingchun lowered his head to look at the sweat on his palms. The poison in his body had been eliminated, but the sadness in his heart could not be relieved.
Tears fell one by one, and the old man with the sheep-head cane disappeared.
He was left alone in the night, his sweat-soaked clothes clinging to his skin, and he was shivering slightly in the cold wind.
He couldn't go back... couldn't go back.
No matter how many times he tried, even if he suffered numerous serious injuries, he could never set foot in Qieyue Village again.
But he wanted to see his old adoptive mother again, and...
He wanted to find out whether the poison in her body came from Qieyue Village.
Is this just an excuse for him to strengthen his belief in going back?
Mo Jingchun didn't know.
