Chapter 18: Strange Thoughts
The old man never appeared, which surprised Feng Fenglin. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info you must know that the old man cares a lot about the relationship between her foot injury and the symbol, as well as the words she said yesterday. Just as he was thinking to himself, there was a noise outside, and the siblings looked at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.
When they walked outside, they saw dozens of people standing in the small courtyard, and when they saw the sisters and brothers coming out, the group of people knelt down and kowtowed to them under the leadership of the old man.
"Bang bang." The sound of his forehead hitting the ground.
Feng Yunlin was shocked by this scene, what happened? Before she could think about it, Feng Yunjing was already anxious to help people up, and shouted, "Sister, come and help me, I can't let them knock down like this, they will break their heads." ”
Feng Yunlin was a little ashamed, she was not as sensible as her younger brother, and her younger brother knew how to help people up, but she stood aside and looked at it dumbfounded, without any reaction at all. At this moment, she felt very clearly that her younger brother had really grown up and was sensible.
"Sister, why are you still standing? Can you help me? Feng Yunjing urged again and again.
"Well, here we are." Feng Yunlin hurriedly responded, and followed his younger brother to help people up one by one, counting the old man, a total of twenty-three people.
Everyone stood respectfully, looking at the two siblings with great devotion in their eyes, as if they were their faith.
"Yun Jing, what's wrong with them? Why are you looking at us like that? Feng Yunlin, who was uncomfortable by their eyes, had to turn to his brother for help, hoping that he could give him an answer.
Feng Yunjing pursed his mouth, tilted his head and looked at it for a while, but he still couldn't see the reason, and helplessly gestured to the old man three times in a row, and the old man also made a comparison in response.
Feng Yunlin stood silently on the side and watched, some strange feelings swelled up inexplicably in her heart, and she couldn't say it for a while, so she didn't think much about it. She saw her younger brother take out the drawing of the route from his arms, and gestured to the old man a few times, the old man groaned for a while, and finally he was very reluctant to quickly compare something with him, Feng Yunjing first shook his head and then nodded again and again, and his face also showed joy.
"Sister, the old man said that he was willing to tell us the road map of leaving, and he could show us the way, but he hoped that his sister would tell them how his sister's foot injury came about, when he had seen the symbol, and where he learned what his sister said yesterday."
Feng Yunlin was a little big for a while, "They don't know the situation, aren't you still unclear?" I don't know what's going on with that foot injury, if it weren't for the weird vines they drew before, I wouldn't know that this foot injury is related to weird vines, and then that symbol, you've never seen it with me, and I naturally haven't seen it, when it comes to what I said yesterday, I'm really just talking nonsense, have you ever seen me learn other words? No, that's right. I'll leave these things to you to communicate with the old man. ”
"Why am I communicating? Obviously, the old man is asking about his sister? Feng Yunjing was very dissatisfied with her irresponsible attitude.
"Because you are the only one of us who can communicate with him, do you want me to tell him that he can understand what I say? Besides, if you're so capable, of course, you have to behave well. Feng Yunlin had a natural expression.
Feng Yunjing still wanted to refute a few words, but when he saw his sister's appearance, he knew that there was no need to discuss, this matter had to be solved by himself, and if he messed up, his consequences could be imagined. He cautiously gestured to the old man, his expression was extremely serious, and the old man seemed to have become more cautious under his influence.
Feng Yunjing told the old man that the foot injury was caused by being entangled in strange vines. The old man asked him why he was entangled in strange vines. And how to get out?
One was careless and got entangled in the strange vines, cut the strange vines with his sword, and fled. As for the symbol, I really don't remember if I've seen it.,What I said yesterday was also overheard from a wanderer.,I thought it was funny and wrote it down.。
The old man asked again when he had seen the symbol, which was extremely important to them, and where was the wanderer?
Feng Yunjing shook his head again and said that he really didn't remember the symbols, and the wanderers had only seen them when they were very young, and now he really didn't know where they were.
The old man looked disappointed, and he still didn't give up asking about the appearance and age of the traveler.
Feng Yunjing told the old man again that they had seen the wanderer when they were very young, and they had no impression of their appearance and age at all, and they could say that sentence because they were interesting and often used to remember it until now.
The old man sighed softly and told Feng Yunjing that he could take them out of the jungle with him, and he wanted his people to leave with him.
"Why did his people leave with us? Don't they know the route? Won't they go on their own? After listening to her younger brother's relay, Feng Yunlin asked three questions in a row.
Feng Yunjing expressed her question to the old man.
The old man said slowly, Feng Yunjing could roughly understand that it was the ancestral precept that stipulated that they could not leave this jungle by themselves through the secret passage, which would cause their entire tribe to be wiped out, and only when someone chosen by God came here could he lead them to leave safely. The person chosen by the heavens needs to have three points, to be able to escape from under the strange vines, a stone left by the ancestors will emit light, and what Feng Yunlin said yesterday, only if the three are satisfied at the same time, can the person be told the route out of the jungle.
This is a good explanation why the sisters and brothers asked the old man a few times about the route to leave, and the old man said that he didn't know, and after Feng Yunlin said the inexplicable words, the old man drew a road map for them instead.
The old man is also selfish, he refused to tell the sisters and brothers how to look at the road map, because he was afraid that once he told them, the sisters and brothers would secretly leave, then his people would never be able to leave this jungle again, as the patriarch of the tribe, he naturally hoped that the tribe could develop better under his leadership, and the clansmen could live better, so he violated the ancestral teachings and did not tell the sisters and brothers.
"They said they couldn't leave on their own, someone had to take them with them so they could get out of the jungle safely." Feng Yunjing said succinctly.
"Do you want us to leave with us? Will they be in any danger if they follow us? Feng Yunlin hit the nail on the head. Yesterday, the old man was reluctant to tell them, but today he suddenly said that he could leave with them, but he needed to take his people to leave with him.
Feng Yunjing looked at her with blank eyes, "Sister, let's help them, they are so pitiful." ”
"Nope." Feng Yunlin immediately denied it, these people knew the route out, but they wanted them to take it out, there must be a problem, she didn't want to get into trouble, she couldn't agree to her brother's momentary plea, it would hurt them.
"Sister, help them." Feng Yunjing pleaded again, "We're also going out, so it's also a matter of taking them out by the way, let's help them, right?" ”
Feng Yunlin is very determined this time, no matter what her brother says, she won't agree, there are a lot of weird things in the jungle, she can't guarantee that the two of them can get out safely, isn't bringing so many more people just looking for death?
"Sister, sister, we can't die without help." Feng Yunjing was not discouraged, and still wanted to convince his sister.
"Yun Jing, be obedient, we can't take them with us." Feng Yunlin persuaded in a good voice that it was a good thing for his younger brother to be kind, but he couldn't express kindness to everyone. When you want to help others, you must first consider whether you are capable, if you can't even protect yourself, then how can you help.
Feng Yunjing lowered his head, which was his unhappy reaction. If it was in normal times, when she saw her brother's expression, she would definitely relent, but not this time.
The group of people seemed to understand what the sisters and brothers meant, and knelt down and kowtowed, only two or three kowtows, and blood oozed out of their heads, which showed how hard they kneaded.
Feng Yunjing really couldn't bear to see them knock down again, and hurriedly stepped forward to help them up one by one, this time they really refused to get up, presumably they also understood that Feng Yunlin was the one who could decide things among the sisters and brothers, and if she didn't let go, it meant that things didn't work out.
Feng Yunlin's already undetermined heart began to sway from side to side again, and she believed that if she didn't agree, they would keep knocking until she agreed. She is not a cold-blooded person, and she will not shirk it if she usually asks him to help some people, but this time it really can't.
"Sister, sister, help them." Feng Yunjing saw that he couldn't pull people, so he changed his direction to beg his sister, and his eyes were wet and he almost cried.
She could ruthlessly refuse her brother's pleading, but she couldn't refuse the pleading again and again, Feng Yunlin finally nodded helplessly, just for her brother.
Feng Yunjing immediately laughed happily, and quickly gestured towards everyone, everyone smiled, and stood up with a nodding head.
Feng Yunjing consciously handed the paper to the old man again, Feng Yunlin was very satisfied with his performance, and his younger brother could still distinguish the priorities of things.
The old man will no longer shirk this, but seriously gesture towards the sister and brother, Feng Yunlin looked at his younger brother and the old man seriously compared with each other, and saw the younger brother nodding from time to time, looking focused and serious, and couldn't help but look at his younger brother in a daze.
"Sister, sister, what's wrong with you?" Hearing his brother's shout in his ears, Feng Yunlin came back to his senses, saw that his brother's face was very close to herself, thinking that she had just watched her brother distracted, her cheeks couldn't help but flush, and an inexplicable feeling rose in her heart, very weird and weird, and she couldn't tell the reason.
