Chapter 579 Pay the price
"But we went to the fields yesterday afternoon, and when we came back we found that Zhaozhao had gone out."
"I asked him what he was doing outside, but he didn't say anything and just locked himself in the room."
The man said, sighing.
At that time, Zhou Zhaozhao refused to say anything until dinner was ready and she sat down to eat. Then she whispered to her parents that she had brought people to the entrance of the cave.
The parents had heard Zhou Zhaozhao mention the incident at the entrance of the cave once.
However, few villagers went towards the lake, so his parents thought that Zhou Zhaozhao got confused while running out to play, and did not take his words seriously.
But now he says he has taken others there, what a mess.
You know, the reason why the villagers didn't go to the other side of the lake was because they were afraid of the Dragon God.
The Dragon God lives in that lake, and the people of Xianxi Village rarely offend the area around the lake.
Not to mention going around the lake to the other side, so the area on the other side of the lake has not been reclaimed until now, and this is also the reason why it has remained in its original state.
But how could Zhou Zhaozhao take others with her?
What if the people he brought with him failed to keep the secret for him, or if the cave was actually the habitat of the Dragon God?
The man sighed and asked Zhou Zhaozhao who he had taken there, but he refused to say.
Even when the man held a broom and pretended to hit him, he kept shaking his head.
There is no other way but to tell Zhou Zhaozhao that no matter what unreliable remarks he makes in the past, he must be careful recently.
Xianxi Village has always regarded the Dragon God as a belief. If this kind of thing is criticized, they may find it difficult to survive here.
"As for why he went out again in the middle of the night, I don't know." The man shook his head.
He just scolded him during dinner, it couldn't be because of this, right?
If his child went out in the middle of the night and encountered such a thing because of his scolding, he, as a father, would probably live in regret for the rest of his life.
Gu Chaoxi narrowed his eyes. Zhou Zhaozhao's parents' sadness was not acted out. They might really not know Zhou Zhaozhao's whereabouts yesterday.
"Did he behave in any strange way, yesterday?"
"Yesterday?" The woman raised her head, as if she had thought of something.
She began to recall yesterday, when Zhou Zhaozhao got up in the morning and had breakfast with them. Later, when they were about to go out, Zhou Zhaozhao stood at the door and watched them see them off.
He looked very well behaved and stayed at home obediently without going out.
If there was anything strange, it was probably Zhou Zhaozhao's expression when they left the house.
The direction he was looking at at that time didn't seem like he was looking at them, but rather it seemed like he was skipping over them.
"Which direction did you go when you left the house?" Gu Chaoxi asked.
The woman wiped her tears and raised her hand to point to the right of the door, which was the direction Shen Yao had just taken them away.
As for that direction, Shen Yao pursed his lips and said, "From that direction, you can see the mountains, the mountains on the other side of the lake."
He finished speaking and fell silent.
Gu Chaoxi sighed. It seemed that Zhou Zhaozhao must be hiding something.
"After dinner that night, he said something else. Everything will be revealed one day, and all the stupid people will pay the price for what they have done."
The woman continued speaking, frowning.
"Pay the price?" Pei Yan wondered.
Even if the Dragon God sacrifice is fake, what does paying the price mean?
Regret? Or what?
The woman shook her head; she didn't quite understand.
"Zhaozhao has his own room, right?" Since he can go out late at night, he must have his own room.
The man stood up and walked towards the room on the right, looking sideways at the two of them: "This is the Zhaozhao room."
Zhou Zhaozhao's room is separated in half by the family's tool shed, because he once said that a room that is too big would make people feel insecure.
So the man built a wall of wood in the middle.
Pass through the tool room in front and Zhou Zhaozhao's room is inside.
The original window of this room was near the tool room, so there was no window in his isolated room.
With the door closed, Zhou Zhaozhao's room looks like a small box.
The man pulled the overhead light from the wall on one side, then stepped aside a little: "This is the room for taking pictures."
There is a bed against the corner, a huge wooden table next to the bed, and a wardrobe next to it.
You can see that many things here are handmade and a bit rough.
Gu Chaoxi walked inside, looked around, and was a little bit unbelievable: "Did you do all this yourself?"
"Yes, I made them all. My family used to do carpentry, so it's easy for me to learn these."
As he spoke, he stood motionless by the door, as if he had thought of something, and actually turned his head slightly and raised his hands to cover his face.
Gu Chaoxi didn't say anything, but immediately began to check the things in the room.
His parents probably really love him. In this room, there are many clothes in the closet, and they all look like they are tailored to his body.
There are also several wooden boxes on the table, which contain some toys that boys like to play with.
At the top she could see several slingshots, all made by herself out of branches.
It is conceivable how much the only child in this family is loved by the couple.
There were three horizontal drawers on the large table. Gu Chaoxi pulled them out one by one and took a look. Most of the things inside were toys, and there were no paper books or the like.
"Didn't Zhaozhao go to school?"
She muttered to herself, and then remembered that after leaving the village, even though they knew there were places to study outside, most people here still felt that farming was the most important thing.
After all, with the blessing of the Dragon God, they can be self-sufficient. As for other things, they are just a waste to them.
The couple seemed not to hear this.
Gu Chaoxi sighed, fumbled on the bed twice, and found that there seemed to be something under the pillow.
Perhaps it's not under the pillow, but under the cotton wool under the pillow.
She lifted the cotton wool and found a flat box underneath.
The man took a look and immediately threw out the box that Gu Chaoxi had taken out: "This is what I made for Zhao Zhao before, to put the butterflies he caught."
Because Zhaozhao said that the butterfly should be kept intact in the box, the man made several of them.
"Butterfly?" She shook the box in her hand. It shouldn't be a butterfly inside.
The next second, he opened the box and found a folded paper inside.
This kind of thing is not seen in other people's homes, but Dr. Zhao's home has a lot of it. He has so many books.
Pei Yan opened the folded paper in the box, which contained records of several medicinal herbs.
However, judging from the condition of the paper, the writing is very old, as if it was torn from an original book.
