Chapter 192: The Rest of My Life
After Mu Degui promised everyone, all the Tang people were jubilant, and they all seemed to see the hope of their survival. If they don't leave, the two of them will suffer a catastrophe.
There is an exception among these fellow villagers, that is, Zhang Chuan, who worriedly and privately approached Mu Degui with his own worries: "Big brother, you saved my life, I must repay you, so I can't watch you die today." ”
Zhang Chuan is the ancestor of the first generation of the Zhang family who crossed the ocean to overseas.
At that time, everyone was poor, and every soup and meal paid attention to reciprocation, and when he was sick and dying, it was Mu Degui who saved him.
He knew that Mu Degui not only knew herbs, but also had some mysterious kung fu.
Such a good person, such a capable person, should not die in a foreign land.
"Big brother, is there any way? You teach me, I'll do it!" Zhang Chuan is sincerely grateful to Mu Degui, after being rescued, he felt that his life belonged to Mu Degui, and he could work for Mu Degui at any time: "You still have an old mother in your hometown waiting for you to go back and pay respects, don't take risks." ”
Mu Degui asked, "What do you know?"
Zhang Chuan wiped away a handful of tears: "I've seen ghosts hitting the wall on that road!"
Since he was sick and was rescued by Mu Degui, he has turned on a function that he can't explain himself, he can see things that others can't see.
So he didn't know whether he was evil or really good, and he secretly held it alone, and he didn't dare to tell others.
Until the road is repaired here, there is no way forward.
During the day, their hoes and hammers were digging in the ground, but they couldn't dig anything, and they often jumped some stones, which had already injured several fellow villagers.
Everyone thinks it's a problem with the soil, this is a reminder to each other, be careful when digging stones, the stones have no eyes, and it's okay to break the head and bleed, so I'm afraid of jumping into the eyes, and there is no place to reason if I'm blind.
Only Zhang Chuan knew what was going on with these stones.
One night, the weather was hot and stuffy, and all the Chinese workers fell asleep after a hard day's work.
Zhang Chuan slept until midnight, and suddenly had a stomach upset, and he hurriedly ran out without wearing trousers and a shirt.
There were many mosquitoes in the woods, so they didn't dare to run deep into the woods, so they squatted in the shadows behind the trees beside the road.
Unexpectedly, there was also a co-worker, and when he saw Zhang Chuan coming, he shushed and motioned for him to look outside.
It was then that he saw a few rabbits spinning in circles in the moonlight, where they had been repairing the road during the day.
The worker whispered: "These rabbits have been running for a while, I don't know if they hit their heads, they have been spinning in circles here, I estimate that they will run away after a while, and then the two of us will go and pick up the rabbits, and roast them tomorrow, and we can fight tooth sacrifices." ”
Zhang Chuan gasped.
The reason why those rabbits kept running in circles was because they were stopped in a barren well, and they hit the wall as soon as they ran, and they hit the wall as soon as they ran, so the rabbits were not spinning in circles at all, but were looking for a way out after hitting the wall.
Next to the well, there are several white shadows with thin arms, singing and dancing, and they are truly spinning in circles - as if dancing a dance to celebrate the success of the hunt.
In between, the rabbits moved more and more slowly, and finally fell to the ground with a few feet twitching, slowly losing consciousness.
I heard my fellow villagers shouting happily: "Brother, go pick up rabbits!"
The sudden sound shook the shadows, and they stopped to look at Zhang Chuan and them.
Zhang Chuan was terrified and wanted to call his fellow villagers to let him not go over.
Because he dreamed that he was sick, he also saw a similar white shadow.
If my rabbits are the prey of those shadows, then they should not rob the creatures of the other dimension for food.
The townsfolk moved quickly, running and jumping over.
Zhang Chuan saw the white shadows, and all of them took the weapons in their hands and aimed them at his fellow villagers.
I saw my fellow villagers fall to the ground with a sigh, grabbing their feet and necks and shouting vigorously: "Zhang Chuan, come and help me, I've hit my feet, come over and grab the rabbits, don't let them run away, they don't seem to be dead." ”
Zhang Chuan stood in place and didn't dare to move.
The fellow who fell to the ground, his voice began to tremble: "Hey, come and save me, I'm out of breath, help." ”
The few white shadows, seeing that Zhang Chuan did not run over, picked up the stick or fork in his hand and pointed it at his fellow villagers, desperately stabbing and beating desperately.
Zhang Chuan was so frightened that he shouted: "Help!"!
"Are there any wolves?" Zhang Chuan's shout woke up the other workers, and one after another people ran out of the shed and asked what was wrong.
The fellow sat up from the ground inexplicably: "I had a cramp in my calf just now, oh my God, just that moment, it hurt me, I thought I was going to die." Hey, Zhang Chuan, did you hear me shouting for help?"
Zhang Chuan palpitated: "You bumped into a ghost......"
He saw those white shadows, holding the weapons in their hands and slashing the legs of their fellow villagers, very fast, fast and ruthless, until the townsmen fell to the ground and couldn't move.
The other workers were so frightened that they looked around, and there was a lot of gossip, where is it?
His fellow villager jumped up from the ground and patted the dirt off his body, and his walk was unaffected except for a slight sprain on his ankle.
The townsman always thought that his own shouting had called out the other workers.
After dawn, the workers took the rabbits and roasted them.
There were only two people, Zhang Chuan and Mu Degui, who didn't touch a mouthful.
Mu Degui doesn't eat rabbit meat because he is particular, he always has some magical days when he can't eat this, or can't eat that, and then he has to abide by some special rules, bathing, washing hair and washing clothes much more diligently than others.
Zhang Chuan didn't eat it because these rabbits must be the prey of those white shadows, and if he ate them, it was tantamount to forcibly taking other people's food.
......
Zhang Chuan told Mu Degui about this matter as it was: "There were several ghosts that night when we stopped a few rabbits, and we couldn't build this road, I'm afraid it would ......."
He didn't dare to say the rest of the words again.
He seemed to see a dense group of shadows staring at him.
Mu Degui listened, smiled and patted Zhang Chuan's shoulder: "Thank you! If something really happens to me, there will be only one life, but if this road can't be repaired, it will be dozens of lives for all of us, and we will be gone, and there will be hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of people coming over later, and they can't be allowed to lose their lives for no reason. ”
Zhang Chuan opened his mouth wide in surprise: "You already knew?"
Mu Degui nodded slightly: "That's what I did, and everything in the underworld and the yang world can be seen." ”
Originally, everyone walked their own way, crossed their own bridges, and were safe with each other.
The indigenous people of the American continent, including many plants and animals that have lived on this continent for thousands of years, have been destroyed by the invaders because of the continuous excavation and construction of roads and exploration and prospecting, resulting in countless lives and suffering.
Zhang Chuan became even more nervous: "So what you said wasn't the story?"
Oh my God, every day when everyone sits together and talks about their hometown, the ghost stories that Mu Degui told are true!
Mu Degui smiled lightly and acquiesced.
Zhang Chuan: "Why don't you tell everyone?"
"Didn't I tell me?" If he didn't say it, how could people come to him to exorcise the demons?
Their conditions here are so difficult, and if they tell everyone the real environment, many of them will not live long.
The reason why their lives are hard is that they all have a firm desire to return to their hometown.
Zhang Chuan was very concerned about the danger of this matter: "That fellow villager was injured that day, what will happen if you do it?"
Will you lose your life?
If he could, he would try his best to stand in front of Mu Degui.
Mu Degui has never seen anyone so sincere to him, and he also saves people out of his duty and is trained by a teacher.
"I don't know what will happen, if they are all alive, we will not understand each other. Fortunately, now they are all undead, and I can ask my grandfather to help. ”
Mu Degui thought about it and explained to Zhang Chuan: "I will write a letter and leave a token, in case I really can't do it, after you go back to the hometown of the Tang Dynasty, help me send it back, I have been given by my family to the master to learn art since I was a child, in order to live, I rarely do my filial piety in front of the high hall." Originally, I had accumulated enough merits, and who knew that I would follow you on the boat. ”
In fact, Mu Degui had already figured it out, he didn't get on the boat in a daze, it was the ancestors of these laborers who wanted to bless his children and grandchildren, and went to the underworld to ask for the gods.
He was able to get on the boat himself, there were so many people on the boat, he just followed Zhang Chuan and their group, if it was an ordinary person, it could be said that it was fate, and for Mu Degui, it was also destined to come to these people.
This is his profession, and life and death have long been put aside.
Zhang Chuan inserted a handful of tears, straightened his waist, and clenched his fists: "Big brother, you'll be fine, I have already taken you as my own brother, I am an orphan, and when I go back to my hometown in the Tang Dynasty, I have nowhere to go, I will follow you in the future!"
In the end, the two of them really knelt down and planted grass in front of the moon.
......
What happened later was more serious than Zhang Chuan imagined.
On the night when Mu Degui started his operation, all the workers were asked to stay in the shed and not go out.
It's strange to say that there was a sudden tornado on the body, flying sand and stones, and the eyes of the people who were missing couldn't open them, as if they could be swept away by the wind at any time, even if Mu Degui didn't tell them, these people didn't dare to run out.
They all sat in the shed and talked quietly, all guessing that the gust of wind was rolled up by Mu Degui, and he said that he had a nose and eyes: "I saw him flick his finger with my own eyes, and the fingernail was suddenly a foot long, pointy, white, and shiny. ”
Zhang Chuan was worried, but he couldn't see it when he looked out at the root of the wall.
Then the wind blew stronger and stronger, and it went around their shed.
The workers were very worried, for fear that the wind would sweep away their sheds.
Later, the roof of the shed was really overturned.
The workers hiding in the shed hugged each other tightly, facing the wind and rain, and did not dare to move.
Later, I don't know how long later, when the wind and rain stopped, several workers in the outermost circle fell to the ground at once, their lips were white, and their breathing was short.
Everyone pinched people and scraped with all their hands and feet.
Zhang Chuan hurriedly ran out to find Mu Degui.
But before he could reach the door, it was as if he had hit a wall, and he flashed to the side, changed places, and walked again, still hitting an invisible wall.
Zhang Chuan's brain boomed, and he remembered the few rabbits that were stopped that day, and they collided like this.
The more he panicked, the more he felt the invisible wall fall down on him.
"Come on, come and help. ”
Zhang Chuan shouted loudly, and he saw the workers coming and going beside him, and two of the workers who fell to the ground slowly woke up and sat up.
There was also a worker who looked like he was dead, and the worker who was pinching him next to him was crying anxiously.
Zhang Chuan was also anxious when he saw it, it was the youngest child among all their fellow laborers, only 14 years old.
Zhang Chuan desperately kicked two feet in front of him, although he couldn't see it in broad daylight, he knew what was going on.
I didn't expect him to be ruthless, and the wall was opened.
Zhang Chuan couldn't hold his back, rushed forward all of a sudden, and fell to the side of the little fellow villager.
After a few moments, when the pain of a dislocated arm came, he howled and cried, it was good that he was still alive.
It didn't take long for the sun to come out.
Workers who had experienced a storm came out of the shed to see what was going on outside.
I saw that they had built roads outside, but there were places that could not be repaired, and they had turned into a piece of mud.
And that's not even the scariest of all.
A sharp-eyed worker pointed to the mountain in the distance and shouted, "The flash flood is coming, run!"
Everyone panicked: "Run!"
It's not the flash flood that's scary, it's the mudslide that the torrent is pouring down with gravel, mud and trees.
Flash floods just wash people away, not necessarily deadly.
Mudslides will collapse and people will die.
Zhang Chuan sobered up at this time: "You can't run on the road!"
When they came out to build the road, the architect of the foreign devil reminded them of the precautions, and when they encountered a flash flood, they had to run to both sides of the road and run to high places.
Mu Degui also told Zhang Chuan that if he saw the earth dragon launching, he must avoid the earth dragon.
Under Zhang Chuan's reminder, the workers finally did not panic, looked at the direction of the flash flood and predicted the situation, and supported each other to run to a safe place.
Zhang Chuan wanted to go to Mu Degui, but his arm was dislocated, and it was difficult for him to maintain his balance, not to mention running, and he couldn't walk fast.
The youngest fellow stumbled up and shouted to Zhang Chuan with a crying voice: "Brother, you have to save me." ”
The rest of the villagers had already run a dozen steps away, and the two of them were still standing in the shed.
If they don't leave, the two of them will suffer a catastrophe. (Later)
