Chapter 447 Curse
Zhao Que's outstretched hand froze in mid-air. He turned to look at the woman who had spoken, a look of amazement flashing in his eyes. He had been amazed when he saw Gu Chengyun before, and now there was an even more beautiful one. He had heard that she was his cousin, so it was no wonder.
Yunyi only reminded him because she saw no filth in his eyes.
"Young lady," Zhao Que said, clasping his hands in a fist salute to Yun Yi after regaining his senses, "I am Zhao Que. May I ask if you know me?"
"I didn't know him before," Yunyi shook her head, "but I know him now."
“But just now you…” You clearly called him doctor.
“You’re the only person in your village with a different surname, and…” Yunyi suddenly stopped.
"And what?" Zhao Que was a very persistent person. The fact that the other party hadn't finished speaking made him feel very uncomfortable. It was because of this that he studied medicine very seriously and his medical skills were quite good.
"Are there fewer and fewer children in your village?"
"How did you know?" Zhao Que asked instinctively.
"I also know that it's not that fewer children are being born, but that most of the children born have problems, and there are very few without problems."
"you……"
This time, not only Zhao Que was surprised, but the villagers were also horrified, because Yun Yi was right.
Especially now, among the younger generation, only Shidan is normal and healthy. The other boys of similar age are either deaf or have eye problems, and one of them is even born with a castration. If this continues, their Wangyue Village will really become extinct.
Of course, any normal girls had already drowned in the back hill.
"Do you know what happened?" Zhao Que's eyes lit up. Actually, his father had told him to leave when he passed away. After all, he had medical skills and wouldn't starve if he went out. As for his old enemies, so many years had passed and they should all be gone. His son was so tiny back then, and now that he's grown up, he wouldn't recognize him even if he saw him. But he still stayed because he had also discovered the problems in the village, but he hadn't been able to find the cause.
For someone obsessed with medicine, it would have been fine if he hadn't encountered it before, but now that he has, he wants to figure it out before he leaves. However, after several years, he still hasn't found the reason.
"Of course." Yun Yi tilted her head proudly. Inbreeding, especially when it's three or four generations of such inbreeding, how could it possibly be good?
Shidan is normal because his mother is not from this village and is not a close relative, so naturally the child she gave birth to is fine.
"why?"
"Why should I tell you?" Yunyi frowned as she looked at the other person.
"you……"
"In that case, as long as you tell me, I am willing to... pay the fee."
"Reward?" Yun Yi scoffed. "The people in your village can't even leave the mountains. They just rely on what they find in the mountains to survive. What reward could you possibly offer me?"
Zhao Que was indeed stumped.
"At least... your cousin survived because of the village."
At this moment, Shi Dan in the crowd was still reaching out to Gu Chengyun, his little face already streaked with tears.
Gu Chengyun could only pretend not to see it.
A woman who can become the Crown Princess is not a fussy, indecisive woman; otherwise, she wouldn't have resolutely jumped into the river to lure away the assassins, giving Zhou Jingyu and the children time to escape.
Her relationship with Mr. and Mrs. Shi ended when they sold her ten taels of silver to Shi Hulu.
The only thing I can't part with is the stone egg.
Those were children who had drunk her milk and were raised by her.
But at this moment, she would not waver because of the child.
"Do I need to explain why my cousin survived? Her family treated her like a wet nurse to take care of their children. Now that the children are grown up, they can sell her to someone else to have a son. If I hadn't come today, what would have happened to my cousin? She would have been locked up in this village for the rest of her life. It would have been better if she had died."
"What exactly do you want?" Old Master Shi couldn't hold back any longer. After all, his son had already wet his pants. What if he continued and something bad happened?
"Of course, we'll take my cousin with us," Yunyi smiled. "How about we trade one for one?"
"No!" At this moment, an old woman rushed over from behind. "We can't let her go! Have you forgotten what that person said? If our village wants to break the curse and change our luck, we have to keep this woman. Once she leaves, our village will be doomed."
Boss Shi was immediately conflicted.
Yun Yi frowned and glanced at Gu Chengyun: "Is this village cursed?"
“I don’t know the specifics, but I heard from Shi Dan’s grandmother that this village was cursed back then. If the curse isn’t broken, the villagers will die one by one until they are all dead.” Gu Chengyun lowered her voice. Now that she didn’t need to pretend to have amnesia, she naturally wouldn’t call those two people her parents anymore.
"When did it happen?"
Gu Chengyun shook her head; she didn't know that.
"Village chief, who told you that your village is cursed?" Yunyi asked Shi Laoda.
"Yes……"
"Village chief, you can't tell!" the old woman suddenly shouted. "Telling it would be revealing a heavenly secret, and you'd be punished by heaven prematurely."
Old Shi couldn't say anything at all.
"Who is that old lady?" Yunyi asked Gu Chengyun again in a low voice.
“That’s the village chief’s second aunt, and also the oldest and most senior woman in the village right now.” Gu Chengyun lowered his voice again. “She’s the one who raised the village chief, so she carries a lot of weight.”
Yun Yi understood, then smiled and said, "Grandma, you're wrong. Is it a secret that you're cursed? If that's the case, how did you know you were cursed? Secrets can't be told, so it's right that you don't know."
Aunt Shi was speechless, unsure how to refute him.
"Also, I guess you are descendants of the previous dynasty, right? After the previous dynasty fell, you were worried about being affected, so your ancestors brought you here to live in seclusion."
"You know that too?" Zhao Que was surprised.
Looking at the other person's expression, Yunyi couldn't help but laugh: "Is this difficult?"
Zhao Que twitched the corner of his mouth, realizing he seemed to have become stupid.
"Alright, the sun's already up, it's time for breakfast. Are you going to release her or not?" Yunyi was too lazy to argue anymore. "As long as my cousin leaves, I can break your curse."
"What if we don't?" Boss Shi's face darkened slightly.
“Then I can take my cousin away, while you… will soon be wiped out.”
"Don't exaggerate," someone shouted. "We'll let your cousin leave, but you stay and give us a son."
"Are you worthy?"
"you……"
The man wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Boss Shi, after all, his son still had a large snake wrapped around his neck.
"Can you really break the curse for us?"
