Chapter 164 Li Zicheng, the King of Rebellion!
"This is good stuff. It's definitely better than your dry tobacco, and it won't irritate your throat."
After Xiao Muyang lit a cigarette for Mr. Li with a smile on his face, he also lit one for himself and started puffing away.
Li Ke took a deep breath and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Well, it's really delicious."
Hearing this, Xiao Muyang smiled and replied, "Mr. Li, if you like it, I'll send you a few later."
"These cigarettes shouldn't be cheap, right? How can I do this? I can't accept such expensive things from you for no reason."
"Grandpa, please don't be polite to me. In the next period of time, I will have to rely on Xiaoxiao to prepare my meals. This little happiness is nothing."
"That won't work either!" Mr. Li refused firmly.
"If that's the case, then I have some things I'd like to ask the old man. Just consider it as my payment for the consulting fee. How about it?" Xiao Muyang made this suggestion after thinking for a moment.
"If that's the case, it's feasible, but what questions do you have for me?"
"If it's about the zombie, I really don't know much about it." Li Ke replied while leisurely smoking a cigarette and gently waving the paper fan in his hand.
"I've already heard this from my colleagues. What I want to ask is not about zombies." Xiao Muyang said after thinking for a while.
"Oh? Then what do you want to ask?" Li Ke put down the fan in his hand, stared at Xiao Muyang, and asked curiously.
"I heard that this village was formed more than 400 years ago?" Xiao Muyang continued to ask.
"Yes, it should be more than 400 years ago. At that time, the ancestors of the village gathered together to live, and gradually a village like this was formed."
After hearing what Xiao Muyang said, Li Ke thought for a moment and responded.
"Then have you ever heard your ancestors talk about the past events of the village, or why the ancestors of the village gathered together more than 400 years ago?" Xiao Muyang seemed to be very interested in this topic. He stared at Li Ke closely, looking forward to his answer.
Li Ke frowned and began to try hard to recall the stories he had heard.
He closed his eyes and lost himself in his own thoughts, trying to capture some details that time had forgotten.
After a while, Li Ke slowly opened his eyes, a thoughtful look on his face. "Well... I seem to have heard something about this."
"It seems that the ancestors of the village were all descendants of the Dashun Army."
There was a hint of uncertainty in his voice.
Xiao Muyang's curiosity was completely aroused. He could not wait to get close to Li Ke and asked anxiously, "Dashun? Is that the Dashun of Li Zicheng, the King of Rebellion?"
"Yes...it seems to be like that..." Li Ke said with certainty after thinking about it carefully again.
.............
Xiao Muyang suddenly fell into deep thought.
Li Zicheng, the King of Rebellion...
If that tomb group belongs to Li Zicheng, whose final cause of death remains a mystery, then that means those zombies are the soldiers who followed Li Zicheng at that time?
Then why did they attack this village formed by the descendants of the Dashun Army?
Could it be that after they became zombies, they lost their minds and could no longer recognize their own descendants?
But that doesn't make sense. The flying zombie that attacked Tie Niu before clearly had a little bit of intelligence...
The more Xiao Muyang thought about it, the more he felt that the matter was not simple. He decided to investigate the history and background of the village to see if he could find some clues.
.............
After a while.
Xiao Muyang continued to ask Mr. Li about the situation of the village: "Mr. Li, has this village remained the same since it was formed? Has anything else strange happened?"
After hearing Xiao Muyang's question, Li Ke pondered for a moment before slowly speaking: "This village was indeed established by the descendants of the Dashun Army!"
"The ancestors of our village followed Li Zicheng, the King of Rebellion, to conquer the world! Later, they fled here after being defeated, and settled down here, where they have lived and multiplied for generations."
"If you want to talk about something strange..." Li Ke hesitated, as if he was recalling some terrible experience.
Seeing this, Xiao Muyang quickly asked, "Mr. Li, please tell me! What is this strange thing?"
Li Ke took a deep breath and continued, "Then there are only those zombies we encountered a few days ago..."
"If you have never seen these horrible things with your own eyes, who would have thought that there are such things in this world? It's really scary..." His voice trembled, as if he was still immersed in fear.
"As for the current situation you mentioned, fifty or sixty years ago, a family named Liu in the village suddenly became very rich."
"At that time, the whole village was spreading rumors that Liu Mang might have dug up some treasure."
"After all, we are all from the same village, so we know each other a little bit..."
After listening to this, Xiao Muyang frowned slightly and asked, "Last name Liu? So how is this family now?"
Hearing Xiao Muyang's doubts, Li Ke responded: "They moved to the city decades ago."
"Over the years, even on the days of ancestor worship, I have never seen them come back."
Xiao Muyang then asked the old man if he knew about Li Zicheng's tomb. The old man slowly shook his head and said that he had only heard about it from his elders when he was young, but he couldn't remember it now.
Just when Xiao Muyang was feeling a little disappointed, Li Ke continued.
He mentioned a long-standing legend.
It is said that before his death, Li Zicheng, the King of Rebellion, hid the countless treasures and gold and silver he had looted after conquering the Ming Dynasty in a secret place that no one knew about.
Xiao Muyang couldn't help but feel moved after hearing what the old man said.
Today's harvest is quite big...
If what Mr. Li said is true, then that group of cemeteries most likely belongs to Li Zicheng, the King of Rebellion.
This village is the descendants of those Dashun soldiers who survived the disaster.
The only uncertainty now is why those zombies attacked this village...
And did the Liu family suddenly become rich because they dug up the treasure buried by Li Zicheng, the King of Rebellion?
Just when Xiao Muyang wanted to ask about the specific location of the Liu family in the city, Li Xiaoxiao came towards them holding Li Qiang's hand in one hand and holding a plate of freshly cut watermelon in the other.
"What are you guys talking about? So absorbed in it?"
Xiao Muyang took a piece of watermelon handed over by Li Xiaoxiao, took a bite, and responded: "I just want to ask Mr. Li about the past of this village."
