Chapter 845: Adventure 7.
The forest guard laughed heartily. "I've been guarding this place for ten years. Haha, it's at the south entrance. If you have any problems, you can come to me. As long as I, Old Hu, can help, I will definitely help."
Su Ranqing smiled and thanked him. He even gave the forest guard some dried rations. In the eyes of the villagers, these dried rations were all very valuable things. The forest guard was extremely grateful.
Ding Tianrou suddenly remembered the strange cry that had been made while eating. She could not help but ask softly, "Mr. Hu, is there anything strange in this forest? We heard a strange cry when we were eating earlier. It seemed human, but we weren't sure..."
Cheng Xue also nodded immediately. "Yes, yes! That cry sounded a little scary. Mr. Hu, have you seen anything strange or people wandering around here?"
Old Hu was startled and quickly comforted them. "That strange cry from before, I know who it was. It was someone from the village by the green lake. That young man was only in his thirties. It seems like everyone called him Guangzi. Guangzi planned to marry his fiancée five years ago, but he didn't expect that his fiancée would fall into the river and be gone. Guangzi was an infatuated man, so he had mental problems from the shock."
Shi Caining and the others could not help but fall silent. It turned out to be a person.
"However, you don't have to worry. Guangzi doesn't have any violent tendencies. He just walks around. Sometimes he cries, sometimes he laughs, and sometimes he sobs. His family also gave him medicine, but he didn't have the money to treat it... There was nothing he could do. However, he doesn't have any violent tendencies, so his family didn't lock him up." Old Hu sighed. "He was still a little afraid of humans, which is why he hid here. He had a rag doll on him. It was his fiancée's relic. Every time he saw someone, he would hold the doll and ask others not to steal his Xiao Fang."
"Xiao Fang is his fiancee?" Ding Tianrou asked curiously.
"Yes, his fiancee is called Xiao Fang. She was a nice girl. What a pity..." Old Hu sighed. "You don't have to be afraid. He really didn't hurt anyone. In the past five years, there hasn't been any record of him hurting anyone. At least, I've met many villagers. There are many village women who come here to pack wooden leaves and bring them home as fuel."
"Since that's the case, we don't have to be afraid anymore. It's just that Guangzi and Xiao Fang are so pitiful!" Ding Tianrou was a little melancholy. "The heavens are really blind. Such a couple has ended up like this."
When Shi Caining thought of herself and Gu Kuangen, she felt a little bitter.
The heavens had always been a disagreeable place for humans. Humans lived a life of suffering and enjoyment. How many people had a smooth life?
"Why didn't Guangzi's family send him to a mental hospital? If he stayed like this, wouldn't he be crippled?" Cheng Xue asked curiously.
"He took the medicine for three years. After that, he went home to recuperate for a period of time and became stupid again. Some people said that Xiao Fang's soul was attached to him... Uh, anyway, there were all kinds of theories. His family also felt that Guangzi couldn't be cured, so they couldn't be bothered to send him to a mental hospital. After all, people from the countryside have poor conditions," Old Hu said.
"There are pitiful people everywhere," Su Ranqing said softly after being silent for a while.
Suddenly, footsteps came from not far away.
Old Hu hissed, "Listen, these footsteps belong to Guangzi."
Cheng Xue and Ding Tianrou were still a little scared, so they hid behind Su Ranqing and Jiang Nan.
Shi Caining frowned. However, Guangzi did not have any violent tendencies, so there was nothing to be afraid of. She also hoped that this trip would end smoothly. By the end of the month, she would be able to see her daughter.
