Chapter 266 Mo Jingchun's Past
Understand how to live better.
Lou Xiao walked slowly along the narrow stone road. The corners of her clothes rubbed against the weeds on the roadside, scaring the fish and frogs hiding in the rice fields, as well as the chirping birds.
There are scarecrows standing in the fields, and occasionally a black snake shadow will swim by.
People are used to it because this is Qieyue Village.
It is the largest village in Nanzi, famous for its expertise in making poisons.
"We haven't seen outsiders in our village for a long time! Why did the elders allow you to come in? Are you in love with a man in our village and are you here to ask for marriage?"
The boy picked a piece of grass from the roadside and put it in his mouth, shouting along the way to drive away the birds that were eating the rice.
Lou Xiao laughed dumbly, "No. I have a request to Qieyue Village."
Hearing this, the young man leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I'm telling you, even if you like someone, you can't take them away. We don't allow people to marry outside our village."
It’s getting more and more outrageous!
Lou Xiao glanced at Elder Qu Yan who was walking briskly. She was helping a farmer carry a huge backpack on the ridge of the field in front of her, and she didn't care at all about what the two were talking about.
"I only know one person from Qieyue Village, and he is not allowed to come back. How could he be interested in him?"
Lou Xiao stopped and took a big step over a small snake that was crossing the cobblestone road.
"Qieyue Village doesn't allow outsiders to enter, and your elders didn't stop me."
The boy lowered his head and thought for a moment, "You are not allowed to come back—"
He looked back the way they came, but still said nothing.
Lou Xiao did discover something, "Do you know him?"
"Who?" the boy asked reflexively. The next moment he realized who it was, but he couldn't say it clearly. He whispered,
"At least he's still alive after being kicked out, but if he stays, it's hard to say.
It’s actually hard to tell right from wrong in what happened back then. My mother said he was very pitiful and there was no need to hate him.”
Mo Jingchun said that he had committed an "unforgivable" crime, but Lou Xiao had not yet learned what had happened.
There was no way to find out his past before, and this time it was a good opportunity for her to find out what shaped his personality.
Don't care about your own life, nor do you care about others'.
"Why was he kicked out?"
The young man hesitated for a while, secretly looking to see if Elder Qu Yan noticed this.
It was not until Lou Xiao assured him that she would never tell anyone that he sighed.
"They stole the mother-child Gu from the village and exchanged it for food with others.
Actually, this matter is not so bad. Although the people in the village regard the mother and child Gu as a treasure, in that situation, human life is more important.
The bad thing was that when they were stealing, they accidentally knocked over the torch, which burned down most of the tower and killed many people. "
Lou Xiao thought, Mo Jingchun said he was not qualified to learn the more profound witchcraft,
When he tried to steal the mother-child Gu, he must have been in a panic.
Considering his age, he was still a teenager at that time.
"What is the Mother-Child Gu? Why do we need to exchange it for food?"
The first thing Lou Xiao thought of was the Gu in her body. Could there be a connection?
The boy looked at her warily, "That's right - I can't tell you, but it's very important anyway.
At that time, there were forest fires and famine in the village, and many people were starving. We also had to be on guard against other villages coming to rob us, which was very difficult.”
No one knows where he found the way. Someone used food to lure him into stealing the mother-child Gu left by the former leader of Qieyue Village.
People outside spread the rumor that it was magical, saying that if an elderly person was carrying the mother Gu, he would be able to share the youth, vitality and life of the person carrying the son Gu.
Some people once offered high prices to find someone to negotiate with Qieyue Village, but they were all driven away.
It is said that Qieyue Village regards it as a treasure and will not let go no matter what price you offer.
The more this happens, the crazier outsiders become.
However, only a few people in Qieyue Village knew that the mother-child Gu was not that effective.
They put it aside simply because they haven't studied it thoroughly yet.
Lou Xiao listened to him talking intermittently about how many people were starving at that time.
Mo Jingchun went hunting in the mountains and fishing in the river just to survive.
At that time, the entire village was preparing for a tough battle that might come at any time, but Mo Jingchun himself disappeared, and no one knew where he went.
At that time, some people said that he was originally a captive. Even though he had adoptive parents in Qieyue Village and grew up with other people, he eventually returned to his original hometown.
When everyone thought he had abandoned his adoptive parents, he came back.
No one knew that he came for the mother-child Gu.
At that time, a priest was leading people to pray for rain and food in the village square, asking God to forgive them and save their people from starvation.
Countless people from the village gathered around, but Mo Jingchun took this opportunity to do the opposite and went to the wooden building where the mother-child Gu was stored.
What happened next?
In panic, Mo Jingchun held the mother-child Gu and ran away without knowing where to go. He didn't even notice that the torch in the building had fallen.
He wanted food, wanted his foster parents and even his neighbors to have enough to eat.
He didn't know what the mother-child Gu was, but if it could help him get food for the village, he was not afraid to take the risk.
But when he handed the mother-child Gu to the other party as agreed, Mo Jingchun came back to face a half-burned tower.
The already difficult situation in the village became even more difficult.
Mo Jingchun waited for the man to deliver the food as promised.
But after waiting for a long time, there was no news. Mo Jingchun felt that he had been cheated.
The people in the village testified that he was the one who stole the Mother-Child Gu and set fire to the tower.
Accusations came one after another, and he resigned himself to his fate, lowered his head and remained silent, and was pushed into the water dungeon.
Mo Jingchun thought desperately, if he died, would her adoptive parents still be able to survive?
He refused to say where the mother-child Gu was sold to, and allowed himself to be tortured without uttering a word.
After many people requested to kill him, the long-awaited food was transported in, which finally alleviated the difficulties of Qieyue Village.
So dealing with Mo Jingchun became a problem.
So many people died because of his mistake, but because of his actions, they got the food that was most needed at the time.
kill him?
It's better to let her go, because some people will always be dissatisfied.
"My family also received some food at the time, and my mother said she forgave him.
But I also cannot ignore the innocent people who died, and in the end all parties compromised and came up with this solution.”
Drive Mo Jingchun out of Nanzi and never see each other again.
"Only in this way can the families of those who died slowly forget about it and start a new life."
Mo Jingchun knew that his adoptive parents would not starve to death after all, and that it didn't matter if they were separated. He would definitely find a way to return to Qieyue Village.
What he didn't expect was that it was easy to leave, but it was extremely difficult to come back.
