Chapter 171 The Nunnery
Chapter 171 The Nunnery
Since Chu Xiaoheng found the way, he cleaned the yard during the day, and after night fell, he sneaked to Fang Yan's place, eating, drinking, sleeping, and hugging beauties by the way, so uncomfortable.
Oops... It's just sweeping the floor, it's really hard work.
Chu Xiaoheng is a little anxious, things have to make some progress, and he can't sweep the floor here every day, right?
"Hey, are you a servant here too?"
He sat on the porch to shelter from the rain, swinging his legs, bored.
There is a lot of rain in Ai Ci, and it often comes unexpectedly, and it rains heavily. People like them are allowed to take shelter in the corridor and continue working after the rain stops.
This is already a rare gift.
"Why don't you talk? Can't you talk?"
Anyway, there was no one around, so Chu Xiaoheng tore off the veil to get some air.
A dusty figure squatted not far away, and it must have come to hide from the rain. Chu Xiaoheng didn't think much of it, thinking that she was working in another place, so he talked to her, but she didn't answer him at all.
"what?"
Out of curiosity, Chu Xiaoheng thought it was a mute, so he couldn't help jumping down, approached him, and patted him, "I said brother——"
When the other party turned around, Chu Heng was startled, revealing gray and white messy hair and a jet-black face.
"Hey, I'm going! What... are you dressed up like? You scared me!"
Chu Xiaoheng took two steps back and was really taken aback.
She's an old lady?
Chu Xiaoheng clutched his chest, let out a long breath, and complained: "It's broad daylight, I thought I had run into a ghost!"
The "grandmother" still ignored him, squatting on the porch by herself, watching the rain outside.
"Hey—I'm sorry!" Chu Xiaoheng chuckled, "I'm not saying you're a ghost! I just think...it's a bit strange for you to squat here. How about...what are you doing here?"
His brows and eyes were crooked, and he smiled recklessly, "Look, look! I'm a sweeper, here, that's my broom. This whole big yard is my job. I think everyone else in their place is Two or three people sweep such a big place, but I am the most exhausted, hey! Life is hard—”
Chu Xiaoheng curled his lips, not knowing that this was actually arranged by Wu Sheng in advance, in order to facilitate his actions without letting others find out.
The old woman didn't move, like a sculpture, staring at the distance of nothingness, her eyes were dim, and she didn't know what she was looking at.
As a professional chatterer, Chu Xiaoheng originally had no one around during the day, but now he managed to catch one and chattered endlessly.
He didn't care if the old woman didn't respond, he just talked to himself, and he was cheerful.
"Ai Ci has so much rain in four seasons, it seems to be raining every day, sometimes it is bigger, sometimes it is smaller."
"Hey? By the way, have you seen the Queen? And Princess Mary, I heard that they are all so beautiful!"
"The queen has a male favorite named Rick, have you heard of it? It is said that this man is very capable, and it is because of him that the queen can sit firmly in this position. Princess Mary lost, and Ai Ci became Now there is a balance of power between the two parties.”
Chu Xiaoheng counted with his fingers, sometimes tilted his head, a little puzzled, sometimes excited, his eyes narrowed with a smile, and he opened and closed his mouth, but he had never heard of it.
Finally, the old lady couldn't stand the noise anymore, she stood up, turned around and left.
"Hey? It's raining so much! Where are you going?"
Chu Xiaoheng turned his head, took the umbrella, and ran up in three steps, and opened it, "If you get wet like this, you will definitely catch a cold at night."
The old lady paused and didn't avoid it, but turned her head to look over, the vigilance in her eyes disappeared.
Suddenly, she grabbed Chu Heng's wrist with great strength and went straight in one direction.
"Oh, I'm going!"
Chu Xiaoheng was caught off guard and staggered, only to realize after a while that this man seemed to be taking her somewhere.
"Slow down, I can't keep up..."
Although this old woman is not young, but her legs and feet are very agile, and her movements are fast, Chu Xiaoheng was out of breath, and finally couldn't run anymore, squatting on the ground, panting.
It just so happened that the rain stopped.
Chu Heng put away his umbrella and looked up, only to see a dilapidated courtyard where the writing on the plaque was obscured by moss, making it difficult to read.
He took a few steps forward, half-closed his eyes, and looked carefully for a while. It turned out that it was written in the local language with three big characters of "Nuns".
"Grandma, are you from the former convent?"
Chu Heng became serious and asked the old lady.
The old woman brushed her hair back, revealing a dirty face. She gave Chu Heng a meaningful look, turned her head and continued walking.
"Grandma, you are not dumb, are you?"
After singing the one-man show for so long, Chu Heng was also a little depressed, and followed up muttering, "Do you know where Rick's former laboratory is? I heard that it was abandoned a long time ago. Later, when the experiment was stopped, he went to No new laboratory was built in Aici, only a huge residence was left."
The old woman turned her head and glared at him, as if telling him to shut up.
This guy babbled all the way, it was too noisy.
The nunnery is very large. It is said that it was built when the last queen was alive. It is a continuation of Aici's custom. In order to accommodate homeless orphans, let them become saints who preside over royal sacrifices and pray for blessings, and keep their innocence for life. , to serve the gods.
But later, Rick experimented with some of them, using a virus brought from China.
He was eager for success, and wanted to see if the special medicine he had developed was effective, so he did not care about the lives of the people here, and tested the efficacy of the medicine on them.
Fang Yan's mother, namely Qin Qin, was also in Ai Ci at the time, and because of this incident, a huge quarrel broke out between them.
With one hand in his pocket, Chu Heng kept looking at his surroundings.
This should be an abandoned yard. It is estimated that the later Aici people were afraid of the plague that happened in this yard, so they locked it up. At the time, other people in the nun were also dead or injured, even if they were lucky. Those who survived probably wouldn't stay here, and begged for grace to leave the palace while the new queen took the throne.
Then how did Qin Qin and Rick's team develop the original medicine?We must know that the medical conditions ten years ago were not comparable to those of today, such a powerful virus... How did the two of them develop it?
Chu Heng touched the stone sculptures in the yard with a thoughtful expression.
His intuition told him that there must be something strange in it.
The old woman suddenly approached and handed something over.
"what is this?"
Chu Heng was puzzled, so he took a look and found that it was a black and white photo of a young and beautiful woman.
"Who is this?"
Chu Heng raised his head and frowned. Seeing that the other party was still silent, he tentatively guessed, "Is it... Qin Qin?"
