Chapter 102: Forgotten History


When Zhao Zitong saw the shriveled face clearly, saw a pair of black eye holes, and saw a mouthful of yellow teeth exposed outside, she was so frightened that she almost fainted.Even in the most terrifying movie she's ever seen, she'd never seen such a terrifying monster.Zhao Zitong had no items to defend himself, so he had to take off his gas mask as a weapon.The dry corpse slowly got up and swayed towards Zhao Zitong, like a zombie who had lost his mind.Zhao Zitong slowly retreated in fright and hit the pillar of the pavilion.She wanted to turn around and run away, but she didn't expect the dry corpse to suddenly squeeze the sound of hard bones colliding from her throat, and then spread her dry arms and pounced on her.At such a close distance, Zhao Zitong wanted to dodge, but it was too late.She screamed, and instinctively raised her hand to smash the gas mask down on the oncoming corpse.Coincidentally, she was impartial this time, and just put the gas mask on the head of the dry corpse.Seeing that the corpse was about to hit her, she covered her ears and crouched down screaming, not knowing what to do.Hearing only a "bang", the dry corpse wearing a gas mask hit the pillar, retreated several steps, and collapsed in the corner of the gazebo.Zhao Zitong waited for a while, and found that he was still safe and sound, and raised his head tremblingly, and saw the dried corpse lying opposite, motionless.She slowly got up, trying to get out of here as quickly as possible.Unexpectedly, at some point, several aquatic vines climbed up and quietly wrapped around her ankles, no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't shake them off.She screamed loudly and flung her legs desperately, only to find that the vines were getting tighter and tighter.At this point, she had no choice, her mind was blank and she stood in place, not knowing what to do.At this moment, a faint voice suddenly came, and it was an old male voice talking to her."

Sit down and listen to me tell you a story."

Zhao Zitong crossed his arms, trembled, raised his flashlight and looked left and right, all he saw was the gloomy garden and the cold rockery, except for the motionless dry corpse in front of him, he didn't see a single figure.She wished she had fainted immediately and not bothered with the strange encounters, but she had never been so awake before.Then the voice said, "Sit down, or you will die." ”Zhao Zitong almost collapsed, and didn't care where the voice came from, so he squatted down tremblingly.Then, the voice told a tragic story to itself.I listened to it for so long, and finally heard the key place, and before I knew it, I was already sweating in my palms.Leng Yue asked lukewarmly on the side: "It's not over yet" Zhao Zitong bit her lip, shook her head, and told the story she heard: In 1645 AD, under the leadership of Aixinjue Luo Duoduo, the Qing soldiers defeated the Ming army all the way, occupied many cities in a row, and arrived in Yangzhou on April 19, surrounded Yangzhou City with both land and water armies.Shi Kefa, the general who defended the city, led the army and people of Yangzhou City to resist to the death in isolation, but finally lost Yangzhou City on April 25 due to the exhaustion of arrows and food.After Aixinjue Luo Duoduo occupied Yangzhou City, he tried in vain to recruit Shi Kefa and his subordinates to serve him in Pingjiangnan, but was refused.In a fit of rage, Aisin Jue Luo Duoduo ordered the slaughter of the city on 20 May.The Qing soldiers tore off the skin of human nature, lit up the cold and piercing bloody blades, and swung at the remnants of the soldiers and civilians in Yangzhou City, even the old and young women and children did not let go.The soldiers and civilians of Yangzhou City, regardless of men and women, old and young, fought to the death and shed the last drop of blood in their homeland.This exterminating killing lasted for ten days, and was known as the "Ten Days of Yangzhou" in history.In the dense pile of corpses all over the city, unnoticed, a man came out, taking advantage of the dark night and high wind, and the Qing soldiers were unprepared, escaped from Yangzhou City, went all the way north, and saved his life.Twenty years later, a person came to Yangzhou City, and with his scheming and secret schemes, he created a solid foundation with great speed and became an important figure in the two Huai salt merchants.At that time, Kangxi had already ascended the throne.Under the governance of a generation of Ming monarchs, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, their living standards improved, and the salt industry of Lianghuai developed rapidly.Kangxi attaches great importance to the salt industry of Lianghuai, strengthens the authority of the salt inspection and imperial history, and is concurrently served by the governor of Lianghuai, and the official residence is secondary.It can be seen how developed the salt industry was at that time.This person is a wealthy salt merchant on the surface, but in private, he plots against the Qing Dynasty and restores the Ming Dynasty, and even has a relationship with Hongmen Tiandi.Unexpectedly, a traitor would appear in Hongmen Tiandi and denounce the salt merchant, so that he finally ended up in the end of raiding his family and exterminating his family.However, what is even more unexpected is that the bodies of the salt merchant and his family disappeared overnight, and what is even more bizarre is that even his sealed mansion has been turned into a wasteland overnight.Some people say that these were done by people from the Hongmen Heaven and Earth Society, all to create public opinion and put pressure on the Qing Dynasty; It is also rumored that it was Emperor Kangxi who ordered the house to be razed to the ground overnight in a fit of rage.However, the real reason is not known.Gradually, this incident was buried in the flood tide of history and gradually forgotten.Far away in the northeast of Yangzhou City, more than 150 kilometers near a small hill, since then, there will be a sudden appearance of miasma from time to time, and the miasma can faintly see a luxurious ancient house.For hundreds of years, someone has come across this ancient mansion and dared to walk in, but never came out again.That old mansion is where we are now.After listening to Zhao Zitong's narration, we all fell silent.This bizarre story, if it weren't for our encounter, wouldn't have believed it at all.I don't believe in ghosts, I don't think there are ghosts or spirits in the world.In contrast, I prefer to believe in Cold Moon's "mirage theory".However, such a tragic event that has been forgotten by history, how could Leng Yue know that he knew that there was something he wanted hidden here, and why was he sure that it was a mirage that made the ancient mansion reappear frequently I looked at Leng Yue and wanted to ask him, but I thought that if I asked, he would most likely either let me guess or be silent, so I simply didn't ask.After all, I'm no longer a child, I don't have that much curiosity, I only focus on things related to our safety.I asked Zhao Zitong: "You said, that voice, why did you tell you such a story, why did you have to tell it to us" Zhao Zitong shook his head and said that he didn't know, and asked me: "What should we do next" I shook my head and didn't answer, because I didn't know how to answer, I secretly guessed in my heart why the owner of the mysterious voice wanted Zhao Zitong to convey this story to us What is its real intention but, I thought about it for a long time, and I couldn't think of a reasonable answer.Suddenly, I heard a loud "boom", and the ground trembled violently.Leng Yue turned her head to look in the direction of the Spring Garden, and whispered, "Let's go, they have entered the garden." ”Mobile Visit: AA2705221:
