Chapter 33: Savable
Uncle Liu was already unconscious when he was brought back to the broken temple by the little sister, and the little sister put him on the ground on all fours, like a stiff corpse. Erhei leaned down in front of him and called him several times without any response.
Erhei looked up at the little sister, the little sister spread her hands and said, "Look at what I do, he was already like this when I found him." ”
Erhei turned his head and called softly: "Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu, wake up, Uncle Liu......"
Uncle Liu's eyes were closed, and his face was dead ash. The dried blood clot solidified on his body, and there was a faint smell of fish. Erhei stretched out his hand tremblingly......
His hand slowly reached under Uncle Liu's nose, paused for a moment, and suddenly, Erhei's whole body trembled, and he retracted his hand suddenly.
At this moment, Uncle Liu was completely out of breath, just like the corpse in the dead man's village.
The second black nose was sore, and he almost shed tears.
Xiaomei walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Don't look at it, let's go." ”
Erhei squatted motionless in front of Uncle Liu and did not speak.
The sun outside was just right, and a ray of light shone in and landed right in front of the shrine. The idol inside the shrine had long been smashed to pieces, and the sun could not shine on its body. At the moment, it was hiding behind the red cloth, grinning strangely, and it was no longer solemn.
This is a god without believers.
Xiaomei didn't know where to take out a piece of cake, handed it to Erhei, and said, "It's noon, let's eat something." ”
Erhei didn't pick up the piece of bread, he lowered his head, still motionless. The little sister stood in front of him, she couldn't see his face clearly, she only saw a black hair, and she didn't know what was going on in her head under the black hair.
A tear fell and quickly seeped into the ground.
The little sister sighed slightly and asked, "Do you want to save him?"
Hearing Xiaomei's words, Erhei's body moved slightly. The action was very small, but it was seen by the little sister. However, he only moved for a moment, and nothing else.
The little sister squatted in front of Erhei and said, "I know what you're thinking." You must be thinking: he's out of breath and can't be saved, right?"
After a moment, Erhei suddenly raised his head. His eyes looked straight at Xiaomei, Xiaomei is a person who is different from ordinary people, maybe, she really has a way to save him! Erhei looked at Xiaomei with teary eyes, as if he saw hope again.
The little sister smiled slightly and didn't say a word.
"You mean...... Erhei looked at her, then at Uncle Liu, and asked in disbelief, "Can you still save it?"
"It can still be saved. The little sister said affirmatively, "I do have a way to save him." Not to mention saving his life, even his severed hand can be connected to him, and it will never leave a scar. But ......" the little sister's eyes were firmly fixed on Erhei.
"I'll go back with you. Without waiting for the little sister to finish speaking, Erhei preemptively said. "Whatever you want me to do, I'll do it!"
"No regrets?"
"No regrets!"
The little sister smiled lightly, and her hand reached out in front of Erhei again: "Let's eat something first." ”
Erhei silently took it and ate it in a big gulp. The little sister squatted in front of him and looked at him quietly.
"Aren't you going to eat?" asked Erhei.
The little sister handed him a pot of water, shook her head and said, "No need." ”
"Then what do you think I'm doing?" Sensing the little sister's surprised gaze, Erhei asked uncomfortably.
Xiaomei squatted in front of him, supported her chin with her hands, and said, "I'm curious, this person seems to be just your neighbor, right? He is not your relative, why do you care so much about him?"
Erhei looked at the little sister, the little sister at this moment, with her hands on her cheeks, frowned slightly, just like a very ordinary girl, Erhei looked at her innocent appearance, and suddenly burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing. Erhei shook his head.
"You haven't answered me yet. Xiaomei asked.
Erhei quickly finished eating the things in his hand, raised his head and drank the water, and asked her, "Don't you people in the Peach Blossom Garden usually come and go?"
"Coming and going?" the little sister shook her head and said, "Everyone has their own way, why do you want to go back and forth?"
Erhei said: "When you know why people interact with each other, you will know why I care so much about him." ”
Of course, there is another reason why Xiaomei doesn't understand Erhei's mood, that is, Xiaomei is different from ordinary people, she never knows the feeling of birth, old age, sickness and death, and life is just two words for her. Even if she knew that someone would die instantly in front of her eyes, she probably wouldn't feel anything.
"Then when are you going to help me save him?" asked Erhei, wiping his mouth.
"Not yet, I have to take him back to the Peach Blossom Land to ......"
At this moment, a slight moan suddenly sounded on the two of them. The two hurriedly looked over, and saw that the dry woman that the little sister had brought back from the dry straw pile had woken up faintly.
"I almost forgot about her!" said the little sister.
"Who is she?" Erhei also noticed the woman at this moment.
"I don't know. The little sister walked over and saw the woman slowly open her eyes.
"Are you awake?" asked the little sister calmly.
The woman glanced at her and nodded slightly.
"Who are you?" asked the little sister.
The woman was lying on the ground, looking down at her little sister, and suddenly laughed twice from her nose. She struggled to sit up from the ground, and was in a trance for a while before she recovered. The woman glanced at the little sister and slowly slipped her thin hand through the tattered neckline into her clothes......
The little sister looked at her in surprise, not knowing why she did this.
Erhei, who had just walked in front of the two, also turned his head awkwardly when he saw this scene.
The woman fumbled inside her clothes for a long time before finally withdrawing her hand. Her fists were clenched, and she seemed to be clutching something important in her hands.
The woman looked like something was wrong. The little sister thought to herself.
Perhaps it was too excited, and the woman's hands were trembling slightly.
The woman stretched out her hand in front of the little sister, her palm spread out, and a bright peach blossom lay in her palm. The woman's clothes were already very ragged, and her body was covered with various scars, and it was evident that this woman must have suffered a lot before coming to this ruined temple. However, this peach blossom was in her arms, and the color did not change under this tattered clothes, and not even a single petal fell.
This is no ordinary peach blossom!
Seeing this peach blossom, the little sister's expression was obviously stunned. She recognized it at a glance, this is a peach blossom in a peach blossom garden!
"Where did you get this peach blossom?" asked the little sister.
