Chapter 15: Waiting 4
Wait 4
"In front of us, there is a vast white field, and this is ah, the mountain that nourishes us. β
"The cold wind, blowing the hunter's face, the road ahead, how can I open my eyes. β
"Come to me, all beasts, and return with me to the village, O spirit. β
"Wind and snow, bow your head and walk through the mountains and rivers, O gods, please bless the safety of my mountain peopleγγγγγγ β
Above the white snow-capped mountains, the rough mountain song hovers in the ethereal like a dragon entwined in the distance, spreading in the endless distant mountains. Two men with shotguns on their backs were staggering along the long and narrow mountain road covered with snow, and the two of them came and went, singing as they went, as if to scare away the weak creatures and attract the bold beasts with this high tune. Snowflakes were falling from the sky, and they wore straw hats and robes, and stepped on knee-deep snow pits with vigorous steps.
In front of their singing path, two women trembled and lifted the body of a kobold, and moved with great difficulty into a freshly dug snow pit, a lion sleeping at the women's feet, and a thin old man still dreaming on his back. The singing of the two men did not attract the beasts, nor did they frighten the weak spirits, but the two women were frightened and threw down the corpses at a loss, watching the arrival of the two men in a daze.
"What is wrong with you?" The older of the two men looked at the corpse thrown into the snow pit in surprise, slowly approached the edge of the pit, and looked at the two trembling women with an incredible look, "Did you meet the orcs? evil orcs?
The two women nodded, shook their heads in a panic, and pointed to the old man at their feet. The young man behind him rushed to the old man's side in surprise, lowered his head and measured carefully, the young man reached out to probe the old man's snort, and shouted in surprise: "My mountain god, it must be the mountain god who has blessed these people, they actually killed the evil orcs, and there is also a lion!"
As if in a big surprise, the young man fell to his knees, folded his hands, and bowed to the sky. "The mountain god protects, the mountain god protects!" The middle-aged man beside him was much calmer than the young man, just stood with his hands folded, shook his hands politely, and then took the young man's hand and said, "Okay, Dosan! Maybe the mountain god blesses, but now we have to help them bury these monsters and leave this place, if these orc accomplices find out, we will suffer!"
As he spoke, the middle-aged man pulled the young man up, and the two knelt beside the snowdrift together, holding the cold snow with both hands, and pushing the snow into the snow pit at once. The two women just stood at a loss, not knowing whether to help or get out of here.
"Is this really what he did? can he kill an orc, and he can also kill a lion?" After burying the snow pit, the middle-aged *** got up and pointed to the old man on the ground and asked.
The woman quickly shook her head and said to the middle-aged man in a panic: "Ahh It's our friend, in order to save us, he was knocked unconscious by a gun, you see it still breathes! Liangsheng too, he still breathes! Can you help and save them?" the woman begged, a little embarrassed.
"His name is Liangsheng, who are you?"
"We are ... Be... It's husband and wife, this is our daughter's name is Joruan, and my name is Natasha! Please help!" The woman's face turned red as she spoke. The middle-aged man squatted down to look at the old man, then at the lion, turned to the young man and said, "Come on, Dosan, choose one!"
"Oh, uncle, how can I let an old man like you do the heavy work, of course I will carry this lion. Just go and save the old man who is about the same size as you!, hahaha!" Dossan smiled heartily, walked up to the lion, grabbed its two front legs, and with great force, carried a male lion twice his size on his back, and began to walk crookedly.
"Hehehe! Dosan, be careful, don't let an old man see your joke!" said the middle-aged man who tugged on the old man's arm a little harder, but he stumbled and almost fell to the ground, and no matter how hard he tried, he still didn't pull the old man up. The middle-aged man looked at the thin body on the ground suspiciously, and stretched out his hands to reluctantly carry the old man on his back with all his strength.
The middle-aged man looked up at the two women who were staring at him, and said embarrassedly: "This old man is not light! Let's go, let's go back to the village with us first!"
The village mentioned by the middle-aged man is just a small village of more than a dozen families, each of which is built with stones and then covered with thatch, and the village is surrounded by branches more than ten meters high to form a simple fence, and an iron bell is hung on the wall at a few meters intervals. When the wind passes, the iron bells jingle with the wind. When the two men entered the village with Liangsheng and the lion on their backs, they were greeted by the attention of everyone in the village, and everyone's eyes were full of surprise and incredulity, the women looked at the big lion and pointed, while the men looked at Natasha and Joroan and giggled stupidly. The bold children followed behind Tosan and kept asking questions, and after several men saw the beauties, they hurriedly ran behind Tosan to carry the huge body of the lion.
"Oh, my mountain god, is this your prey?" said an old man who trembled up to Tosan, touched his pale beard, and asked happily.
"No, no, no, grandpa! these are the friends of those people, they are friends with animals like us, grandpa, they must be good people!" Dosan smiled heartily, and carried the lion hard, and continued to walk, "I think we should get it to the hut, it must have a shelter from the wind! Go and see the people, there is an old man who has not woken up yet!"
"Okay, good!" the old man agreed, walking towards the middle-aged man.
"This is our village, there are only thirty or forty people, all of whom have come here for refuge, and they are all homeless people!" the middle-aged man turned back to Natasha and pointed to a thatched hut in the village. "That's my home, let's put this first... Get this heavy old man to my house!" said the man, and walked towards the thatched hut, and Natasha and Joron nodded and followed the man.
"Honor the mountain gods who nurture us, bless us with peace, and give us food... RyΕsheng slowly opened his eyes and found himself lying in a dimly lit hut, the walls of which were flickering with yellow flames that warmed the room, which was empty with only a table and a wooden stool. The door was made of thick branches, and the closed door could only be concealed, not completely closed, and from time to time the wind crept in through the crack in the door. Outside the door, an old voice was chanting and praying for the protection of the gods.
Liangsheng got up and got out of bed, slowly opened the door, and looked out, dozens of men, women, and children were kneeling in the direction of the mountains under the leadership of an old man, clasping their hands together and bowing to the mountains reverently.
"Hey, if the mountain god can protect people's safety, how can this world become like this!" Liangsheng looked at the men, women and children in the village, but there was a depression in his heart that could not be calmed down, and he couldn't help but sigh. After Liangsheng said this, he saw that the people in the village were looking at him angrily, and the old man stood up and said with a smile: "This old gentleman, everyone here believes in the mountain god!
"Well, I'm not ungodly, I just want to ask if this mountain god has really blessed you?"
Twenty years ago, the evil beasts chased us deep into the mountains, and they were about to catch up with us and kill us all, but they encountered an avalanche that crushed dozens of evil beasts in the snow and suffocated them all in the snow. In the past twenty years, we have been finding food in the snow-capped mountains, and no one has starved to death, isn't it the mountain god who has blessed us?" The old man looked at the snow-capped mountains from time to time as he spoke.
"Then you still live here, and you are not afraid of another avalanche?" Ryosheng smiled and sat on the stone platform at the door of the hut. "Since an avalanche can crush evil beasts, it can also crush people!"
"Since the mountain god has saved us, he will not kill us again!" the old man retorted, "We have been living here, praying for the mountain god's blessing, and waiting for the mountain god to save this world!"
"Wait, if we can wait for world peace, then there will be no war!Natasha!How long have we been here?" Ryosheng finally found Natasha and Ruo Ann in the crowd, and the two of them slowly walked towards Ryosheng.
"They saved you, we've been here for a long time! Are you alright?" asked Natasha as she squatted down beside Liangsheng with concern.
"You also follow them to believe in the mountain gods?"
"It was the mountain god who saved us, otherwise why would you have so much strength to kill all those monsters?"
"yes, maybe, but we need to get out of here, old man, and you must get out of here with the rest of your village, or the orc accomplices might find you!"
As soon as Liangsheng's words fell, he heard a cannon fire in the direction of the distant mountain, and a cannonball fell from the sky and fell towards the village. With a bang, the shells exploded on the north side of the village, and the huts in the village collapsed with a loud bang. The people of the village began to scream and run around.
"Run out of the village!" Ryosheng shouted as he protected Natasha as the lion rushed into the middle of the village, grabbed Joryoan's clothes and threw her on his back, and ran towards the entrance of the village. Another cannon sounded, and Ryosheng looked up to see a stray bullet rushing towards the center of the village, and in desperation, Ryosheng threw Natasha to the ground and blocked the shell with his body. When Liangsheng turned his head to look, more than a dozen people had fallen in the middle of the village, lying on the ground, covered in blood, some of their arms had been blown off, some of them had lost their legs, and some of them had been unrecognizable.
At this time, some villagers in the village screamed in fear again, and Liangsheng stood up and rushed to the entrance of the village with Natasha, who had fainted. Just when Liangsheng ran to the entrance of the village, he only heard the sound of dense gunfire, twenty or thirty orcs with guns at the same time to shoot at the village, and the male lion kept dodging in the gunfire and retreated to Liangsheng's side. In front of their eyes, more than two dozen villagers were pierced through their bodies by bullets. Liangsheng knelt down at the entrance of the village in pain, but saw the three children lying outside the entrance of the village crying incessantly, and the wolf-headed half-orc led by him roared fiercely and bit at a little girl.
At this moment, a huge roar shook the entire valley, and Liangsheng's trembling body began to grow gradually, the long red hair on his body quickly grew all over his body, and the four sharp fangs in the bloody mouth slowly bulged. In front of the male lion and Ruo Ruoan, a thin old man instantly turned into a red-haired giant ape.
The red-haired giant ape roared and raised its arms, its fist the size of a millstone slamming into the ground. Under the shock of the giant ape, a group of half-orcs outside the village no longer dared to make any movements, and the wolf-headed half-orcs who rushed towards the little girl stopped beside the girl and looked at the huge monster in front of them in fear. I saw that the thick legs of the giant ape kicked the wolf-headed half-orc more than ten meters away, and then jumped high and rushed towards the half-orc outside the village.
The bodies of all the half-orcs were torn apart by the giant ape, and the village entrance was thrown all over the ground, and the blood soaked into the black ground under his feet, and the giant ape held the last wolf-headed half-orc in his hand, holding it high in the air, and the giant ape bared its nose and gritted its teeth and asked, "How did you find this place? Who sent you?"
The wolf-headed orc was already trembling with fright, closed his eyes and replied, "I... Our men are missing, and the men who have been sent out to find them have reported that they are looking for them... Find a village, wolf... The Wolf King sent us... β
"Where is he?!"
"In the orc camp at the gates of the southern city, please spare me... Before the wolf-headed orc could finish speaking, his body had been torn in two.
At the gate of the village, Natasha struggled to stand up and looked at the giant ape in fear, Ruo Ruoan was still on the back of the male lion and was already trembling with fright, only the male lion riding under her lowered his head and let out a whine! The giant ape slowly walked up to Natasha, his body gradually became smaller, the red hair on his body slowly disappeared, and finally turned into a human form, and the gray hair and beard looked at her quietly: "Old Na, are you okay?"
If there really are gods in this world, please open your eyes and see this absurd era of good and evil! If you are interested in redeeming the world, please reach out as soon as possible and bring those who are in misery out of this miserable era of good and evil!
