Chapter 135 Sacrifice to Heaven
Chapter 135 Sacrifice to Heaven
Jin Yuyao has been feeling that someone is always pointing fingers at her these days. She wanted to ask, but no one told her, so she had to ask Wang Jingshan for help and ask him to find out indirectly.
Jin Yuyao watched Wang Jingshan from afar in the dark as he joined the crowd.
She waited anxiously there, looking at Wang Jingshan in the distance from time to time.
After a while, Wang Jingshan came back with a dark face.
Jin Yuyao asked expectantly, "How's Jingshan? Have you found out? What's going on?"
Wang Jingshan forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, you're just overthinking it. It wasn't you he was talking about at all."
Jin Yuyao knew he was lying when she saw him like that. The incident must be related to her, otherwise Wang Jingshan wouldn't have such an expression and forced smile.
Jin Yuyao begged, "What exactly is going on? Is it something bad that I should do? Then you should tell me. Only when I know can we solve the problem, right?"
Wang Jingshan looked at Jin Yuyao and insisted on knowing what was going on. He pulled Jin Yuyao to a secluded place and said, "It's...it's..."
Jin Yuyao looked at his hesitation and said anxiously, "Just tell me, can I bear it?"
Wang Jingshan then said with a dark face, "They've been saying these days that the locusts are a punishment from heaven because of your arrival. As long as you're here, the locusts will always be there. They say that the heavens have instructed them to burn you to death as a sacrifice to the heavens, and the locusts will disappear. They say that if Prince An follows the will of the people,
Jin Yuyao thought to herself, no wonder some people have been acting so abnormally these days.
She said, "Then let's go back first."
Before Wang Jingshan could say anything, he saw people gathering here from afar.
Jin Yuyao also heard someone say: "That's Jin Yuyao, it should be her, there is only one woman among them.
"That's her, that's her. Now that we've met her today, we can't let her get away. Surround her quickly."
Wang Jingshan took Jin Yuyao's hand and said, "Why are there so many people here? Let's go quickly because there are more and more people."
Jin Yuyao said vigilantly, "There are more and more of them. Let's leave quickly."
Wang Jingshan said: "It's really abominable."
He saw a branch as thick as an arm on the ground, picked it up, and cleaned it up to make a stick.
When Jin Yuyao saw Wang Jingshan's expression, she thought he was going to fight with these people, which would make things even worse.
"Jingshan, calm down and don't do anything, otherwise the situation will be irreversible."
Wang Jingshan whispered, "Don't worry, I know my limits."
The two were surrounded by more than a dozen people.
They seemed to be villagers from nearby. They said, "Leave Yu County immediately, or we will sacrifice you to the gods."
Jin Yuyao was about to speak when she heard Wang Jingshan say, "We're here to control the locusts and help you. Instead of being grateful, you treat us like this?"
Those people didn't listen at all and said, "I don't care if this woman leaves now, or we will sacrifice her to the gods."
"Leave, leave, offer sacrifice to the heavens"
Seeing that those people were not listening at all, Jin Yuyao leaned over to Wang Jingshan's ear and said, "Don't tell them. Let's leave as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to escape as more and more people gather."
Although Wang Jingshan was reluctant, he had no choice but to find a way to leave given the situation.
He held the stick in his hand and said: "Get out of the way, this guy has no eyes."
Some people wanted to step forward, but Wang Jingshan just swept them away and they fell down before he could even touch them.
There was fear in those people's eyes.
Wang Jingshan pulled Jin Yuyao and the other person forward. Those people were afraid of Wang Jingshan, so they slowly made way for him.
The two of them then came out as quickly as possible.
Those people were still reluctant to give up, but they were still a little scared when they saw Wang Jingshan's appearance just now.
After the two of them walked out, some people were still following them. Wang Jingshan quickened his pace and took Jin Yuyao to the small path.
When Wang Jingshan and the others reached a deserted area, they said, "Finally they got out."
Jin Yuyao nodded and said, "Let's take the side road. I don't know who spread such rumors, but I'm afraid someone is manipulating them from behind."
Wang Jingshan and Jin Yuyao took the small path home.
After entering the county government office, Jin Yuyao said, "It's alright, go and take care of what you have to do first."
Wang Jingshan still reminded her worriedly, "Luckily I was with you just now, otherwise what would have happened to you? I'm scared just thinking about it. Don't go out today, okay?"
He repeatedly reminded Jin Yuyao and saw her nodding and promising not to go out before he left.
She watched Wang Jingshan leave and walk into the county government office.
It seems I still can’t go out today.
Jin Yuyao walked into the pharmacy and saw the doctors busy at work.
She went forward to help.
When Prince An, Chen Qianhe and Wang Jingshan returned in the evening, it was already late.
Jin Yuyao happened to be in the courtyard and asked, "Prince Chen, have you eaten yet?
Chen Qianhe said, "After what happened today, Jingshan told us that you should not go out in the future, otherwise those people will harm you. If you are not there, the locusts will be even more out of control."
Jin Yuyao asked, "I wonder how many people have been bewitched now?"
Prince An shook his head. "We didn't notice this at first. We didn't know when so many people started showing up. And when we were distributing porridge today, someone came up to us and asked us to deal with you, saying that you were the culprit."
At this time, Kong Qing came running in and said, "Prince Chen, something terrible has happened. What should we do?"
Chen Qianhe said, "What is it? Why are you so flustered? If there is anything, just say it quickly."
Kong Qing took a breath and said, "Now everyone outside is saying that Doctor Jin is the scourge of disaster, and this locust plague is all her punishment for our Yu County. She must be sacrificed to the heavens."
Chen Qianhe said: "How could it be so serious that they wanted to burn Doctor Jin to death? They didn't even realize that Doctor Jin made the greatest contribution in curing the locusts. How foolish!"
Kong Qing said aggrievedly, "It's been like this for the past few years since I came here. People don't listen to discipline at all and just believe in these things. They even worship them. Lord Chen, now you know that I am here to lead you in a difficult way, right?"
Chen Qianhe said, "Can you tell us later whether it's difficult or not? Now let's talk about Doctor Jin's matter. What should we do now?"
Wang Jingshan also said with a bitter face: "I originally thought that it would be fine if Yuyao didn't go out, but who knew it would turn out like this? Who on earth spread such news?"
Jin Yuyao felt a little sad after hearing what they said and said, "The most urgent thing is to find the mastermind behind this.
The common people have been deceived. The people behind this are so despicable.
It is despicable that they disregard the lives of ordinary people and incite them to do these things."
Wang Jingshan said anxiously, "We didn't know where to start this conspiracy, and we discovered it a little too late."
For a moment, everyone was frowning and no one answered this question. What should they do as the situation got worse and worse?
