Chapter 283: Death Canyon (8)
"Patriarch, I know that this place is forbidden to the Maha, but my friends have been infected with an ancient virus, and I hope to be there to help my friends remove the virus from them. β
Hearing Xu Mu's words, the old man narrowed his eyes.
Xu Mu looked at us and asked us to show our arms to the old man.
And when we showed our arms, the old man's eyes could no longer take their eyes off our arms.
"It's it, you've seen it, haven't you!" asked the old man with a look of excitement.
"Cursed Bone, tell me where you've encountered it. β
"Kunlun!" Qin Yue said to the old man.
"We saw a crystal clear white bone in the glacier of Kunlun, and when we took it out of the glacier, it shattered, and then we went back to find that our arm had become like this. β
When Qin Yue spoke, the old man was looking into Qin Yue's eyes, and he was telling whether Qin Yue was lying from Qin Yue's eyes.
However, I am afraid that we will disappoint this old man, although we have deceived Xu Mu and deceived this old man, but this deception is a well-intentioned deception.
We are worthy of our hearts, so what we say is the truth with good intentions.
"Well, I can trust you, but I still have to advise you that there is no cure for the virus it infects, and although you have not encountered the cursed bones, the curse on your arms is very similar to the curse of one of my old people. β
"It took us fifty years to find a way to lift the curse. β
Fifty years?
Hearing the old man's words, I hurriedly asked the old man, "Patriarch, is the old man you mentioned still alive?"
"Alive?"
The old man looked at me sarcastically: "Little baby, do you know what it means to survive and not to die?"
"His hands are paralyzed, his legs are paralyzed, and I wish he had become a vegetative person, so that perhaps he would not be tormented, but this curse is the devil, and he has taken away everything from my old man, but not his life. β
"Lying on the bed and watching himself incontinent, he obviously had something to say, but he couldn't speak, he didn't want to hear anything, but this devil just wanted him to listen, forced him to see, and this was how he spent forty-nine years, begging to die, but he couldn't die, he couldn't live, he was a living dead for forty-nine years. β
"Forty-nine years have passed, his face has not changed, his skin is still the same as when he was young, his heartbeat is strong, one of the doctors of my clan said, these forty-nine miles, his heart has always stayed forty-nine years ago, now you know what it means to beg for death. β
The old man's voice fell, and I took a step back.
In order for me to live this life of the living dead in the future, I would rather end my life at once.
"If you want to die, why don't you just kill him with a knife?" asked Hesheridina, asking the old man.
"Kill?" the old man smiled sarcastically again.
"You haven't experienced it, so you don't understand, but the five of you are almost there, I ask you, will your relatives be able to do this to you? You should say that if they can't do it, you can choose to go on a hunger strike, people have brains, and when you lie still you will experience the taste of chewing food while shedding tears. β
"Patriarch, can we meet this old man of yours?" Qin Yue asked the old man.
"He's abroad, and if you leave here now, maybe you'll have a chance to see him, or when the curse on your arms erupts, you'll be like the old man I spoke of. β
The old man turned around after saying this to us.
"You really didn't lie to me, you can go wherever you want, and before you can walk, maybe you can choose to die in the forbidden land. β
The old man left with his people.
If I had a choice, I really hope I didn't meet this old man here.
This old man gives us a vision of our future, and this future is a future that is unacceptable to each of us.
"Let's go!" Qin Yue looked at me and said softly to me.
To say that the five of us were not under the influence of this old man would be a complete self-deception.
Qin Yue's expression was depressed, and so was each of us.
All the way silently, with his head bowed, he walked forward like a walking corpse.
"Fucking cheer me up. Xu Mu looked at us like this, and couldn't help yelling at us anymore.
"Look at the dejected way you are now, I haven't given up on you yet, you have given up on yourself, if this is the case, we don't have to go to that place. β
Hearing Xu Mu's words, I raised my head and looked at him quietly.
"Is it your belongings, this lame man, that I accompany you on your trekking through mountains and rivers? I can't see you in such a discouraged way, so I scattered, and went back to my own house. If you don't have the courage to face that kind of life, you will give yourself the fruit in this rainforest, if you don't have the courage to bear the fruit yourself, I will show you the way, and not far from that is the Snake Valley, and you will go into the Snake Valley, lie down on the ground, and keep your death clean. β
Xu Mu really walked back, and I looked at Xu Mu's limping figure, and my eyes were foggy.
"Mr. Xu Mu, take us to that place, I want to live like an ordinary person. β
Qin Yue's voice sounded behind me.
"Mr. Xu Mu, maybe you don't believe it, I have been pain-free with other babies since the day I was born, and other babies were born in the delivery room, but I am in a dark room, because my hands can't see the light, and when I see the light, my body will dry up. β
"Before I learned to walk, I lived in a room without sunlight, after I learned to walk, I saw the sun, and from that day on, I had to wear a special glove made in the family, which made my hands not feel warm and cold, I don't know what it was like to shake hands with someone, these hands never touched the real thing, and now I can finally touch these feelings that I have never experienced, I haven't lived enough, I haven't touched a fluffy toy, I have a lot of things that I haven't touched, so I beg you, take me, take us to that placeγ β
"No matter how slim the chances are, I want to try it. β
Hearing Qin Yue's words, I fell into a deep silence.
What the fuck happened just now? We were shocked by what the old man said.
"Brother Xu Mu, take us there, I know you are reluctant to leave us behind, right. β
I walked up to Xu Mu and said to him shamelessly.
Swept away the decadence, I am now the same as I was when I first met Xu Mu.
Xu Mu looked at me and smiled, then slapped me on the shoulder.
"Don't listen to that old man, maybe people are deliberately scaring you, don't you still have me, an old poison? Don't worry, no matter how many ancient viruses it is thousands of years ago, I don't believe that there is nothing in this world that can't cure it. β
"Cheer me up one by one, I'm a lame man who follows you five young people all the way, it's easy for me, and I owe it to you, to be your father and mother. Now that you've got rid of the virus, you'll have to treat me to a big meal. β
Hearing Xu Mu's words, Qin Yue smiled, Gou Tang smiled, and Gu Yicheng and Hesheri Diana also laughed.
Laughing with tears, not because we were moved, but because we once again strengthened the belief in our hearts.
"One meal is not enough, we invite you to eat for a lifetime. Gu Yicheng looked at Xu Mu and shouted.
Seeing that each of us had returned to its original state again, Xu Mu smiled happily.
"That's right! Keep that mindset and let's stride forward. β
Xu Mu waved his hand and walked towards us.
After this time, Xu Mu once again narrowed the distance between us and us.
This distance is not the distance of the location, but the distance between the hearts.
We didn't stop too much at the ruins of Maha and headed towards the denser jungle ahead.
What awaits us, I don't know, I just know that nothing ahead can stop us from moving forward.
