Chapter 384 Pujiazhuang (3)
Seeing the villagers' tough appearance, Pu Zixuan suddenly felt angry, but was replaced by his heart in an instant. Only then did he realize that as the descendant of Pu Songling, who was the real price of goods, was actually so rejected by this place of origin of blood. Village chief Pu Pinglu's treatment of courtesy only represents his personal attitude.
However, Pu Zixuan still did not give up his way out at the first time. He knew that if the villagers were allowed to bring Shadali back, he would miss the opportunity to treat her and kill her, and he would have cut off the only way to understand the truth. If they really cured Shadali, this woman would be very likely to cause casualties to the villagers in order to escape. This was something he didn't want to see, but he could not be too tough on the villagers, so he had to sincerely say to Pu Pinglu: "Village Chief, if she does not receive timely treatment, she may die..."
Pu Pinglu responded reluctantly with a smile: "Haha, you must believe in the medical skills of our village doctors. I dare to guarantee that our village doctors will definitely save her from such injuries. She will be cured in less than a month. Besides, we are consuming here, isn't it just that she can't get timely treatment?"
Su Sanniang interrupted, "Village Chief, I'm going to tell you that this woman is not an ordinary person, but a purifying messenger like Mr. Liu Quan. Why did she come to Pujiazhuang and why she was seriously injured is still an unsolved mystery. I really doubt whether she had encountered a powerful monster? If this is true, you have to keep her in the village for a month. For such a long time, it is likely that she will attract monsters and bring a catastrophe to Pujiazhuang!"
Su Sanniang originally wanted to persuade the five people to retreat by relying on such a terrible thing as monsters. Unexpectedly, the five people not only did not show any timidity, but even Pu Pinglu changed his attitude. He stared at Su Sanniang with sharp eyes and snorted coldly: "Monster? Humph, where does the monster come from in this world? You are really good at joking!"
A villager also said, "I'm afraid I've watched too many "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" and came to our Pujiazhuang. I'm immersive and have delusions?"
Another villager echoed: "Hmph, I don't think it's that simple. It's clear that they want to return this woman and deliberately make people confused. I thought that the famous monster novels were born in Pujiazhuang. Will we believe these nonsense?"
The villagers sang and talked with each other, which shocked Pu Zixuan and others. It would have been fine if there were villagers from other places in the past who said this, but this was Pujiazhuang, a land that was once ravaged by monsters. Moreover, in the past year, with the continuous recovery of Taixu Crystal, the level of activity in the demon world is far from comparable to that in the past. They have already seen people talking about monsters naturally. However, they heard such words in Pujiazhuang today, which is a good accident.
Pu Zixuan wanted to fight for something, and the villagers who were close to him in front cursed and pulled him aside with his free hand, then continued to walk forward with Pu Pinglu.
"Hey, I said you guys..."
Pu Zixuan was about to go forward and stop him, but Chen Shuqing pulled him with his left hand from behind and said softly: "Okay, Xiaoqi, let them go."
Although Pu Zixuan was unwilling to accept it, he still cooperated with Chen Shuqing's actions. After the villagers walked away, he asked Chen Shuqing: "Do you have any better ideas?"
Chen Shuqing looked lonely and blamed herself: "Actually they said it's not bad. We have been living in Pujiazhuang for a long time, and we are only caring about our affairs, but we never thought about saying hello to the villagers. It is normal for them to have ideas about us. Before, I always thought that one hundred and fifty years have passed. Since I don't know all the people here, I don't have to get close to them. However, who knows, would the villagers just now be the descendants of one of my old acquaintances? Haha..."
Pu Zixuan said disappointedly: "I thought there was any good idea to retake Shadali..."
Sun Xiaoshu smiled and said, "Sister Shuqing is right. If it were our tree demons, even if they saw a relative who could not hit the edge of the corner, they would have been so excited that they would have burst into tears. I think you should visit the door and visit it. When the ice in their hearts melts, it will naturally be much easier to communicate."
Seeing that Sun Xiaoshu, who had never liked to express his opinions, was as confident as a mature adult, Pu Zixuan completely let it go and said with a sigh of relief: "Okay, it seems that there is nothing to do for the time being. Since Xiaojiu has said that, let's do it."
"Haha, before that, there is one thing to do..." Chen Shuqing glanced at Pu Zixuan with deep meaning and showed a thief smile.
Pu Zixuan wondered, "What else is there?"
"What else can it be?" Chen Shuqing said with his eyes shining, "It's rare to go back to the Pujiazhuang I'm dreaming of. Of course, I have to go to the market and buy a few candied haws to eat. I've been so hungry!"
"Haha, if you don't say it, I'm almost forgotten that you have this hobby." Pu Zixuan smiled, "Look, I'll treat you to you."
Chen Shuqing said happily: "It is better to have fun than to have fun alone. Who else among us wants to go together? Raise your hand."
Shaoqing, Chen Shuqing saw Pu Zixuan and Sun Xiaoshu raised their hands and nodded and said, "Okay, there are three people in total."
"Wait a minute, what are three people in total? You just don't take me seriously!"
Everyone followed the sound and saw that Songsong on Gulu's shoulders had also raised his claws, but even if the claws were raised, they just reached the height above their heads, which was easy to be ignored.
"Oh, there is also this greedy ghost..." Zhu Yuanliang looked at Songsong's funny appearance and took the opportunity to make some sarcasm.
Songsong shouted loudly: "What does 'there is this greedy ghost'? All of us are equal! Humans and rats are equal! Do you understand?"
"Okay, go." Pu Zixuan grabbed Songsong from Gulu's shoulders, and then everyone was divided into two four-person groups, one group went back to Liaozhai, and the other group walked towards Hongshan Town.
This time I went shopping, nothing strange happened. After eating candied haws, the four of them bought a total of 70 kilograms of Zichuan Chi pears as gifts, and then returned to Liaozhai.
In the evening, after everyone had supper, Pu Zixuan and Chen Shuqing decided to visit the villagers' homes one by one. As the saying goes, "There are many rituals and people don't blame each other." With these Chili as "a weapon to open the way", the atmosphere of the two interacting with the villagers has improved a lot.
The two were warmly received at the homes of each villager. After visiting the five families, it was already dark and Pujiazhuang disappeared in the night when they were unable to see their fingers.
The good atmosphere and optimistic mood made the two still not stop visiting. However, in the sixth home, something unpleasant finally came.
This is a house located in the west of Liaozhai. Before entering, the two of them saw the candles in the house from the window flowers, and the noise was heard one after another. It should be that many guests had already visited.
After hesitating for a moment, Pu Zixuan still knocked on the door.
Shaoqing, the door slowly opened, and a woman came to greet him with an oil lamp. When she saw Pu Zixuan and Chen Shuqing, she was stunned: "What are you?"
Pu Zixuan entered the ceremony and said, "I am a descendant of Pu Songling, a lay Buddhist in Liuquan. I came to Pujiazhuang to find my roots. I have been staying in the Stories from a Chinese Studio for a few days. Today I will visit all the villagers."
The woman looked embarrassed and said, "My husband feels a little uncomfortable today. Can you come back another day?"
"That's it..." Pu Zixuan thought for a while and said, "I understand some medical skills. If your husband is sick, maybe we can help some things."
After saying that, Pu Zixuan handed a basket of Chili to the woman and said politely: "A little gift is not worthy of respect, hehe."
"Then... since that's the case, come and take a look with me." The woman took the basket and placed it on the table in the main hall.
Pu Chen and the others immediately entered the house, turned right after the woman, and came to the side room.
At this time, there were all the villagers in the side room, including men, women, young and old. Just as you were talking about something, one of the villagers was taking the pulse of a man lying on the bed.
"Excuse me, what disease does this owner have?"
Pu Zixuan stepped forward to ask friendly, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
However, at the moment when the eyes of both sides met, no pleasant smile appeared. Instead, one of them glared and said, "Wow, look, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here."
Pu Zixuan was suddenly confused and looked at it carefully. Although the candle fire was dim, he still recognized that this person was one of the villagers who carried Shadali away during the day today.
After looking at it, three of the more than ten villagers were very familiar with each other - two of them participated in the raising of Shadali, and one was the village chief Pu Pinglu.
