Chapter 12: Epiphany I 3/3
Well, the grades weren't great, but I wasn't discouraged.
Think of yourself as a newcomer, go on step by step, I believe this will become an excellent work, and please support it!!
+++++++++++++++++++++
Nimba Mountain in the night, everything is silent.
The bright moonlight sprinkled on the mountains, as if a light veil was draped over Nimba Mountain. The torrential rain during the day makes the mountains still filled with water vapor, hazy, and also adds a bit of mystery to the Nimba Mountain.
In the moonlight, the group staggered through the rugged mountains.
Mike and Babu led a few sturdy black men to open the way in front, and Pei Tiejun was in charge of command in the middle.
At the back of the team, Yang Mu also changed into a camouflage military uniform, and he was carrying a huge military camouflage backpack.
He carried a Famas-assault rifle in his hand, fiddling curiously as he walked.
This assault rifle is his trophy!
Yang Mu didn't know how to shoot and didn't want to use firearms. However, Thea thinks that he can't always use mysterious witchcraft, and that having a gun on him will make it easier after all. Pei Tiejun is very supportive of Xia this time.
As long as anyone who has seen the scene of ten thousand snakes surging during the day, they will have an inexplicable fear of Yang Mu.
When Yang Mu was carrying a gun, it seemed less dangerous. At least to everyone, he still feels like an ordinary person.
"Mu, how long do you have to go?"
Xia Ya came to Yang Mu's side panting with a stick.
Yang Mu raised his head and glanced ahead, "Follow this road forward, and you will reach the top of the mountain in about another hour." Then down the mountain, you have to cross a canyon. At the current level, the border will be reached almost tomorrow afternoon. โ
"Mu, let's go too slowly."
Thomas was also at the back of the team, and when he heard Yang Mu's words, he spoke: "I'm a little worried, the Marinco people ......."
"Brother Thomas, don't worry.
The mountain roads of Nimba Mountain, without the blessing of the gods, ordinary people would not dare to walk at night at all. There are not only snakes but also all kinds of poisonous insects and beasts in this mountain. The Marinko are not fools, they have no little shamans and will never rush at night. โ
It was Babu's father, the old Babu, who spoke, a very simple black man.
He has a very athletic physique, standing 19o cm tall and looks a little bloated, but he is very agile in his movements.
Lao Babu is Yang Mu's staunchest supporter, and he has always believed that Yang Mu will protect them.
It also turns out that Lasses, who chose to follow Sawyer, has now died under the butcher's knife of the Malinko people, while the old Babu, who believes in Yang Mu, is still alive. Lao Babu was carrying an assault rifle on his back and followed closely behind Yang Mu, looking very relaxed.
Thomas was also lucky, although he suffered a little from the flesh and skin, but he was fine.
And his companion Tony ......
Thomas is a doctor from New York.
Originally, he was dismissive of the occult. But after the events of this day, it seems that something has changed. At least in his attitude towards Yang Mu, Thomas seems to be much more affectionate and respectful. In fact, anyone who witnessed the scene of ten thousand snakes running wild with their own eyes will have an inexplicable awe of the initiator.
Ten thousand snakes are running wild!
Thomas had never seen such a horrific sight in his life, and even when he thought about it now, he still felt creepy.
At the same time, he was very curious, because when the poisonous snakes attacked the Marinkos, the Baban people who were locked in a simple wooden house in the village, and the Kru, did not encounter a single poisonous snake attack. The room was so ventilated that even the door could not be closed, but not a single snake entered, and everyone was spared.
According to Babu, it was because they were protected by Yang Mu.
At that time, Babu placed a wooden carving in the doorway, and with a light touch of a lighter, the wooden carving immediately burst into flames. The small wood carving, like a guardian saint, allowed the poisonous snake outside the house to be ferocious, but it was extremely safe in the house.
Thomas guessed that the wood carvings might contain a drug that would help the vipers to avoid.
But if it's just medicine...... I'm afraid it won't be possible to protect everyone's lives. Thomas faintly felt that there must be a very mysterious element in this wood carving, even with factors that cannot be explained by science. The wood carving was made by Yang Mu, which made Thomas thank Yang Mu at the same time, but also had an inexplicable curiosity about Yang Mu.
"Brother Babu, it's not that I don't believe in Mu."
Old Babu's explanation did not let Thomas go, he was still a little worried: "The key is that we people, old and young, are either injured. It had been almost ten hours since the tribe had been evacuated at noon. If we continue like this, I'm afraid that if we don't have to catch up with the Marinkos, we will be half exhausted.
Mu, I think everyone needs to rest, eat a little, and replenish their bodies.
Also, some of the injured also need to be re-bandaged...... Can we stop and rest for a while, everyone is already tired! โ
The Marinko people will almost kill all the Kru and Baban people before the healthy years, leaving only some old and sick people.
Ten hours of mountain travel is indeed exhausting.
Yang Mu didn't feel anything, but the others ...... Even a relatively strong person like Old Babu may seem like nothing on the surface, but in fact, from his breathing, it can be heard that he is tired and almost unable to support it.
"Mu, is there a place to rest around here?"
Xia was about to lose her legs and asked softly.
Yang Mu frowned, thought for a while, and pointed forward with his hand, "I remember that further on, about five kilometers or so, there is a water pool, the terrain is relatively flat and relatively hidden. You can take a break and have a bite to eat...... Old Uncle Bรกb, please inform Bรกb. The Bรกb had been there with me, and he knew how to get there...... Thomas, you go and help Brother Pei, let everyone hold on a little longer, and we will rest next to the water. โ
Invisibly, everyone has taken Yang Mu as the backbone.
Old Barb and Thomas excitedly agreed, and hurried to inform.
And Miyuki Harukawa and Xia followed behind Yang Mu one left and one right, although they didn't speak, they had their own thoughts.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Knowing that they could rest, the pace of the procession immediately sped up a lot.
After walking for about another hour, the water pool that Yang Mu said appeared in front of everyone.
To be exact, it was a lake, a lake with an area of about 80 acres. The water of the lake is very clear, and under the cover of night, there is a thin layer of mist on the surface of the lake, which makes people feel like they are in a fairyland.
"It's so beautiful!"
When Xia saw this lake, she couldn't help but sigh.
And in the crowd, there was a cheer that suppressed excitement.
People walked to the lake to wash the dirt from their bodies, or lay on the ground and put their heads into the water to quench their thirst.
Xia helped Pei Tiejun change the medicine and re-bandaged him.
Thomas saw that she couldn't hold it anymore, so he drove her aside to rest......
Mike took Suzuki with him and took charge of the guard on the perimeter with a gun.
"Can you sit down?"
Xia Ya walked up to Yang Mu and asked softly.
When everyone was resting, Yang Mu sat quietly on the ground against a big tree, stretching his legs, and fiddling with the firearm in his hand from time to time.
"Huh?" Hearing Xia Ya's question, Yang Mu was stunned, looked up at her, and said quite casually: "Sit down, it's not my house, there are not so many rules." โ
Xia also couldn't tell the reason, why she was sitting next to Yang Mu.
This big boy, who seems to not care about anything, has a delicate appearance and quiet manners, and there seems to be a fatal attraction on him, which makes it difficult for Xia to control himself. He is shrouded in a veil of mystery, quiet and kind on the one hand, and ruthless on the other. Sitting next to Yang Mu, Xia will feel very safe.
"How did you do that?"
Yang Mu pulled the bolt of the gun and turned his head to look at Xia Ya, "What did you say?" โ
"I mean, how did you do that?" Those snakes...... I feel like those snakes are following your commands. โ
Yang Mu didn't answer immediately, but suddenly raised the gun and did the action of aiming and shooting.
This was taught to him by Pei Tiejun on the road, and after groping and practicing all the way, Yang Mu did a good job.
Putting the gun beside him, Yang Mu smiled: "I didn't do that." โ
"You didn't do it?"
"Yes, I don't know snake language, how can I command so many snakes." As he spoke, he raised his hand and said, "It's Gollum, it's directing those snakes to attack." As for the wooden carving in Babu's hand, I had practiced it with witchcraft, and it had a gurgling smell in it. Gollum can command those snakes, and those snakes naturally don't intrude into Gollum's territory. โ
