Chapter 1482: Death in Substitute

"One more thing. In the conversation just now, the old woman repeatedly mentioned the three words Dafengchao. You must know that this is the previous dynasty, but she seems not to have realized that the dynasty has changed. Yao, Shunyu and Yu reminded: "Her memory seems to be It stayed in the previous dynasty, when General Guo was still there. "

Zhu Jie heard the implication, "You mean the old woman died in that era, so the memory stagnated. The time when this village was massacred should be after General Guo and his party were killed."

What Zhu Jie said made sense. After all, if General Guo was still alive, the then Zhennan Marquis would not have dared to attack the village.

Jiang Cheng took out the wooden sign from his arms. The wooden sign came from the Hou Mansion. The fake grandpa and those who died in vain all bore this sign.

These villagers did not kill people for no reason. They were able to enter this village only because of this wooden sign representing the Hou Mansion, which was a guide sign.

Looking at the wooden sign in his hand, Jiang Cheng suspected that his chance of survival was related to this wooden sign. After all, only those who hold the wooden sign in their dreams would see the fake grandpa. Also, next to the many heads buried in the open space at the entrance of the village, all The wooden signs are all carefully wrapped in cloth, which looks more like a ritual.

There were patterns on the wooden sign, but Jiang Cheng couldn't understand it after looking at it for a long time. Tang Qisheng seemed to have seen the signs. After taking the wooden sign, he touched it carefully with his hands. After a while, he nodded, "Same as before, the painting on it is Shui Shu, because it is inscribed, is not easy to find.

Shuishu is a memorial text, a language specifically used to communicate with ghosts. It seems that this wooden sign is prepared for these ghost villagers in the village.

Everyone looked at Shao Tong. It was Shao Tong who interpreted the late wife’s surname and birth date last time. Tang Qisheng handed the wooden sign to him and said, “Translate it.”

After Shao Tong took it, he looked at it for a long time and frowned slightly.

"Is there a problem?" Tang Qisheng sounded suspicious.

Shao Tong took a deep breath, "It's true that it's Shuishu, but there are many kinds of Shuishu. This kind is more ancient. I've only heard about it a little bit, and I can only interpret a small part of it."

It was about whether Li Bai could survive. Fatty couldn't help but ask: "What did you interpret?"

Yin Ji couldn't see clearly and could only touch it with his hands. Shao Tong took Fatty's hand and asked him to touch a location on the sign. "Did you touch it?" Shao Tong asked.

The fat man's face became excited, "I touched it, it seems... it seems to be a word! By the way, what is this word?" The fat man looked at Shao Tong.

Shao Tong's expression remained unchanged, "Death."

"Huh?" The fat man trembled and almost dropped the sign to the ground.

"Sorry, I can only decipher this one word. Shao Tong spread his hands with a very helpless expression.

The fat man's face turned red and white. He looked at the sign faintly, thinking that this might not be a guide sign. It should be called a death sign.

Yao and Shunyu walked to the courtyard gate and looked out through the crack in the door. The villagers were guarding the intersection not far outside, looking straight at this place, and the distance seemed to be closer.

The situation was urgent and they had to make a decision. The current situation was obvious. The bowl of rice must be eaten, otherwise the villagers outside the door would not rule out going berserk.

"I have an idea, you might as well listen to it." Tang Qisheng suddenly said, but his eyes were directed at Shao Tong, who was out of tune with everyone. The atmosphere was a little subtle for a while.

"Say." Jiang Cheng looked as usual.

"Everyone has seen the situation now. There are villagers guarding outside. If the bowl of rice is still there at night, then Miss Li Bai may not be the only one who will die."

Before Tang Qisheng finished speaking, Fatty immediately objected, "I don't agree. It's not the last moment yet. Li Bai is good at using medicine. Everyone here has received her favor. Now that she is in danger, we will abandon her immediately. This is a breach of trust and I don’t agree with it!”

"Haha, brother Fugui misunderstood, that's not what I meant." Tang Qisheng smiled, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, "What I mean is that the bowl of rice must be eaten, but the person who eats it doesn't have to be... If it’s Miss Li Bai, we can change her.”

The fat man was stunned for a moment, but he soon came to his senses and looked at Shao Tong with a look of disbelief. It could be seen that the fat man's eyes were full of entanglement and hesitation, but after a few seconds, this complicated feeling was diluted. , the fat man’s eyes gradually became firm.

"Mr. Tang just said that you should use me as the scapegoat. There is no need to beat around the bush."

Shao Tong was magnanimous, and he had nothing to say until now. He glanced at the people present one by one, Tang Qisheng, Yao, Shunyu, Wang Fugui, Zhu Jie, and Zhang Qizheng. These people were all looking at him with cold eyes. No one spoke for him.

Zhu Jie sneered and said: "Shao Tong, you asked for this, no wonder others, you and Lu Qin should have had this awareness when they teamed up to deceive us!"

Tang Qisheng took a step back, cutting off Shao Tong's retreat, "If you are wise, take the initiative. We won't make it difficult for you. Everyone should be decent. If you don't want to be dignified, haha, then don't blame us for helping you to be decent!"

Seeing that the situation was gradually getting out of control, Shao Tong did not panic. Finally, he looked at Jiang Cheng. He was the only one who had not expressed his position, "Brother Jiang, do you think so too?"

"This is a way." Jiang Cheng paused: "But unfortunately, the success rate is very low."

“You have to give it a try to know whether it works or not!”

The fat man was anxious. In his opinion, it was perfect to exchange Shao Tong's life for Li Bai's. Even if there was only a one percent chance, he would fight for Li Bai.

"Go in, Li Bai should have something to say." Jiang Cheng did not express whether he agreed or disagreed, and the group walked into the room.

Li Bai, who was lying on the bed, looked paler and paler. In just a quarter of an hour, her condition had deteriorated visibly. Li Bai heard their quarrel outside.

Just as the fat man was about to say something, Li Bai shook his head slightly, and then forced a weak smile at the fat man, "Thank you all, I heard everything, but this time I am the chosen one, so... so please don't waste your energy anymore."

"That sign is very important. Although I can't interpret the words on the sign for the time being, I will find clues sooner or later. You must keep it well."

"Also, after I eat that bowl of rice, I will tell you how I feel. If you have any questions, ask them quickly. I am worried that I can't hold on for long. In this way, if there is another person, you will know how to deal with it."

After saying this, Li Bai looked at Shao Tong, with a calm look between his eyebrows, "You said you were forced to cooperate with Lu Qin. I believe you and hope you won't let me down."

"It's my fate to be chosen. I won't implicate you, but remember, if you harm my friends in the next mission, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost."
