Before Lin Mengya and Baili Rui could come up with a solution, the hornets suddenly fell to the ground.
In the past two days, all the families in the city had bought Lin Mengya's insect repellent at a high price.
Although they were reluctant, they still made Lin Mengya ten thousand taels of silver.
And this was the result of her limited sales.
She had to admit that it was really easy to make money!
However, on the sixth day of the Mad Hornet Calamity, the hornets that were so dense that they could not see the light of day started to fall off.
At first, there were only a few of them, but later, a thick layer of them could be seen on the ground in one night.
Everyone was afraid of those things when they were alive, but after they died, except for some extremely timid people who still did not dare to come forward, the others had already tried their best to get rid of them.
For a moment, everyone piled up the large and small hornets outside the door as if they were sweeping away snow.
They even started a childish competition.
They began to compete to see who had the taller and bigger hornets in front of the door, and they did it in full swing.
Lin Mengya's insect repellent also became a hot item in the blink of an eye.
Some people even came to the door to return the medicine. Anyway, the hornets were dead, and it was useless for them to keep the expensive insect repellent.
Lin Mengya was annoyed, so she asked someone to put up a small sign at the door — Once sold, no refund! If you want a refund, fight first!
Then, she also asked four strong men who looked quite tough to deal with to hold the scene.
When the four men stood there, even passers-by had to avoid them, not to mention to return the medicine.
Those who bought extra insect repellent could only blame their bad luck.
Who asked them to hoard so much before? They deserved it!
Just when everyone thought that the plague of bees was over, many people suddenly had a high fever overnight.
At first, they thought it was because they had caught a cold while working.
But from the first death, fear quickly spread throughout the whole Yuehu City.
That was because the person who had died had died too miserably.
And when the family collected the body, they were horrified to find that the body of the deceased decayed very quickly.
Although they were not coroners, they still had basic common sense.
The temperature in Yuehu City was warm all year round, but it should not be so fast even in midsummer.
The family was shocked and wanted to cover up the matter.
In the end, Yue Zhengzitan broke in with his men.
"You want to hide such a big thing? Are you trying to get everyone killed?"
Seeing that the family was unwilling to give it to him, Yue Zhengzitan could not help but shout angrily.
"Wah wah wah, Second Young Master, you can't do that! My husband can't die without a complete corpse. Besides, he's already dead. Why won't you let him go? "
The one who reacted the most strongly was the wife of the deceased.
Moreover, he was a woman, and Yue Zhengzitan couldn't do anything to a woman.
Just like that, a few adult males of the family actually came over to snatch the corpse.
Unexpectedly, the corpse rolled out of the coffin while he was pulling it.
In the next moment, a pungent stench quickly filled the entire courtyard.
At this moment, everyone could clearly see that the thing that was still fine last night had already rotted beyond recognition.
"Ah! Master! "
The woman screamed but did not dare to rush over. She sat paralyzed on the ground and continued to cry.
When the others saw this, their hearts were filled with doubt.
Something was wrong! There was obviously something wrong with the corpse!
But before they could think too much about it, the elder of their family was helped out by someone.
"Yue Zhengzitan, don't go too far!"
The elder of the family happened to be the old man who repeatedly refused to let go of Baili Rui.
Seeing him, Yue Zhengzitan had a headache.
To put it nicely, this old man was of virtue and prestige, but to put it bluntly, he was stubborn, like a stone in a latrine pit, smelly and hard.
If his elder brother had not been warned by Gong Ya in advance and knew that there was something fishy about this person's death, he might have been deceived by them.
Thinking of this, his attitude was not much better.
This old man's brain was simply a block of wood!
If he didn't want to live well, would he still implicate others?
"Elder Jiao, I'm here on my elder brother's order to take this corpse away. If anyone dares to pester us endlessly, it's tantamount to defying the leader!"
The old man called Elder Jiao was so angry that he knocked on his walking stick.
"Listen to what you're saying! Do you dare to fight with me? "
"Elder Jiao, do you mean that you don't listen to the leader's orders?"
Yue Zhengzitan sneered, "Elder Jiao, I'm afraid you've become muddle-headed with your old age. In times of crisis, anyone who disobeys the leader's orders is the same as a traitor! Elder Jiao, I advise you to keep a good reputation, but don't end up in a situation where you can't even protect your old age! "
"You, you little brat, how arrogant!"
Elder Jiao's walking stick almost hit Yue Zhengzitan's leg.
However, the young man stood tall and straight, his face cold. Because of his cold eyes, Elder Jiao did not dare to make a move.
He was old, but he was not muddle-headed.
He knew very well that he had repeatedly used the family rules to suppress Yue Zhengzitan, the leader of the leader's family, which had already caused dissatisfaction.
Now, they were also using the family rules to suppress him.
Although he was dissatisfied, there was no way he could disobey the family rules.
He could only watch helplessly as the body of his family was taken away by Yue Zhengzitan.
"Great-grandfather, what should we do now?"
Someone next to him asked anxiously.
Elder Jiao let out a long sigh.
What was to come could not be avoided. They could only resign themselves to fate.
.....
The situation in the city was transmitted to Lin Mengya's ears in real time.
She knew very well what had happened to the first death.
The venom carried by the poisonous wasps was not fatal.
The reason why the man died so quickly was because of the effect of the venom, and also because of his physical condition.
Such a person, even if sent to her, would not be able to completely detoxify the venom because of his physical condition.
Or maybe he could not withstand the detoxification process and died.
After another night, many people in the city fell ill one after another.
Moreover, their symptoms were not the same.
Therefore, for a while, no one suspected that the poisonous wasps were responsible.
The sky had just turned bright when the manservant who was responsible for opening the door immediately saw two living people standing in front of the door.
"Oh, my God! Who are you trying to scare to death? "
The manservant patted his chest and glared at the two Yue Zhengjia brothers. Then, he suddenly realized who they were.
Immediately, he put on a smiling face.
"Oh, two distinguished guests. Wait a moment, I'll go back to inform them!"
Saying this, he turned around and ran back to the yard.
The two brothers, who had been frowning, did not know whether to laugh or cry after hearing the servant's words.
Immediately, they thought of the situation in the city, and their faces darkened again.
"Brother, how sure are you that you can persuade Gong Ya to help us?" Yue Zhengzitan could not help asking in a low voice.
Yue Zhengzixiu shook his head with a heavy heart.
But before he came, he had thought it through. Since the other party had already regarded this as a deal, he would definitely come up with a bargaining chip that would make them interested.
He could not let anything happen to his clansmen.
After about ten minutes, the manservant ran over again.
"Two distinguished guests, please come in."
The two looked at each other, and then walked in.
The servant looked left and right, then closed the door that had been repaired.
In the yard, Lin Mengya was holding her two cubs in the sun.
It was rare to have such good weather.
The two cubs were very happy. Early in the morning, they laughed and jumped with her. Obviously, they also liked this kind of sunshine.
Therefore, when Yue Zhengzixiu and his brothers hurried into the yard, they saw the mother and children bathing in the sun.
When playing with the children, Lin Mengya would change into clothes that would make it easier for her to move around.
Because of her physical condition, and because she had strictly followed the plan set by her teacher, she not only recovered very well, but also her figure was similar to before she gave birth.
Especially her back, with long legs and a slim waist, and a few strands of long hair on her shoulders, she looked very delicate.
"Aunt Qing?" At one glance, Yue Zhengzixiu overlapped the back in front of him with the one that left the deepest impression in his memory.
Walking beside him, Yue Zhengzitan's heart skipped a beat.
"Oh no, oh no!"
"Why did my brother recognize me at this critical moment?"
But soon, Lin Mengya heard the sound and turned around.
Then, Yue Zhengzitan saw the shock in his brother's eyes gradually disappear.
Only then did he wipe the sweat off his forehead.
He thought to himself, "Fortunately, Gong Ya looks nothing like Aunt Qing."
Otherwise, he might not even know how he died.
"You're here. Wait for me a moment."
She was holding Little Fubao in her arms, and Moyan was hanging on her legs.
After seeing the two of them, Lin Mengya did not immediately send the children back to their rooms. Instead, she squatted down and discussed with Moyan. She asked him to play with his sister first, and after she was done with her work, she would continue to play with them.
Fortunately, Mo Yan was a very considerate child. He agreed without hesitation.
"Let's go in and talk."
She got up and seamlessly changed her identity as a loving mother and the head of the family.
If they hadn't seen her domineering behavior that day, the two brothers would never have thought that the woman in front of them would have such a shocking side.
Yue Zhengzitan nodded and was about to follow her in, but his brother beside him did not move.
He tugged at his brother's sleeve and was about to say something when he saw a moment of confusion in his brother's eyes.
In addition, there was a deep sense of nostalgia.
Yue Zhengzitan immediately retracted his hand and broke out in a cold sweat with a guilty conscience.
"Could, could it be that his brother had noticed something again?"
"They really look alike." Yue Zhengzixiu quickly came out of his memory and whispered to him.
"What, what do you mean? Brother, what are you talking about?"
"I just think that Gong Ya and Aunt Qing are very similar. Don't you think so?"
