Chapter 8 We all want to live forever
However, even if Yu Xing had strong endurance and walked such a long way, it was reasonable to say that the wound should have opened a long time ago, but it didn't, they didn't crack after they stopped bleeding, so the goddess who realized this also looked up at him.
He could see it clearly, and a shallow smile appeared on the corner of the goddess's mouth.
What are you laughing at, how do you feel like she's quite satisfied?
The medicine session ended in Yu Xing's active mind, and at this time, it was already dark.
The goddess walked to the door: "You change your clothes, and then come out, and I will take you to find someone to live in temporarily." ”
"Okay." Yu Xing obediently agreed on the surface, but actually carefully checked the clothes.
This is a cotton caftan with a pure black top, a buttoned placket in the middle, and white pants on the bottom, but the style is not old-fashioned, and many small changes have been made to make the clothes look very designed.
This seems to be ...... Be...... Yu Xing felt that he could recognize its applicable age, but his mind was empty, and this feeling was too uncomfortable, like he obviously owned a thing, but was tightly covered by a thick cloth.
Never mind.
Yu Xing felt that he couldn't recall anything if he forcibly recalled it now, but he was subconsciously sure that this was a kind of clothes made by some kind of family with good economic conditions, and just now the goddess said that it was her man's...... Then she must have come from town.
He put them on one by one, and walked out of the room without daring to waste time looking at the contents of the plate on which the stone statue was enshrined, which he cared about.
The goddess's gaze swept over for the first time, she seemed to be satisfied with her nod, and then said, "Follow me." ”
……
The goddess took Yu Xing to a house in the middle of the village.
Yu Xing found that this village was much larger than the small village where Lao Zhang lived, and it seemed that there were at least a few hundred people living in it.
The standard of living seems to be much higher, at least the house in front of him has a small yard.
The goddess knocked on the door, and there was silence for a while, and then there was a sound of wood colliding with the ground, and after ten seconds, a rickety figure came out.
The old woman, who was only a little more than one meter and four meters, was on wooden crutches, and when she saw the goddess, she looked excited: "Lord goddess, why are you here?" ”
"This is our new companion, staying at your house for the time being, no problem, right?" Facing the old woman, the goddess looked faint, and there was a feeling of superiority, which was far inferior to her attitude towards Yu Xing.
"No problem, no problem!" The old woman's teeth were leaking when she spoke, and she seemed to have only noticed that there was another person at the door now, and she cast her gaze, and was obviously stunned when she saw the clothes on Yu Xing's body.
"This ...... What do you call it? ”
As soon as Yu Xing wanted to say that I don't have a name, the goddess coughed lightly, looked at him and said, "Anyway, you don't have a name, but you always need to have a way to call me, so it's better to call you Shiwei." ”
Yu Xing thought for a while: "Does this name have any purpose?" ”
"Sounds good." The goddess is concise and to the point.
The old woman obviously didn't know anything, but she agreed next to her: "Good name, what the goddess thinks of, must contain the aura of God, release only, release only good." ”
Yu Xing: "......" You are really brainwashed.
The goddess smiled: "You live here, you want to eat and ask Granny Li to do it, Granny Li's house is big, her grandson didn't want her in the early years, she ran away, there is a room that has been empty, you live just right." ”
She just said Granny Li's sad things, and Granny Li didn't refute a word, and the matter was settled.
After the goddess left, Yu Xing followed Granny Li to the house, he saw that Granny Li was trembling, her body was thin and weak, her clothes were very loose on her body, and the whole person seemed to fall down at any time.
Strange, the conditions in this village are better, why are the villagers so thin one by one?
The men and women I saw at the beginning were also like this, not as strong as Lao Zhang and his daughter-in-law.
"Granny Li." Yu Xing spoke up.
Perhaps because she felt that the goddess had a different attitude towards Yu Xing, and gave him such decent clothes, Granny Li's attitude towards Yu Xing was equally respectful, and even implied a trace of awe and eagerness, and when she heard Yu Xing call her, she hurriedly replied: "You say, you say." ”
Yu Xing: "I'm hungry and want to eat. ”
"No problem, there's a lot left over for dinner, I'll heat it up for you right away, and I'll make you fresh tomorrow!" Granny Li happily turned to the kitchen, leaving Yu Xing alone in the main hall.
Through the lit kerosene lamp, he saw a stone statue in the center of the main hall that looked exactly like his aunt's house.
Looking closer, this statue is actually not a full body, it is carved with a man's half, the man's face is blurred, his hair is very long, the upper body is wide and the robe has large sleeves, the lines of the clothes are smooth and fitting, and the hips are not carved down, only a slightly wide round base.
It looked like a man had come out of the pedestal.
There was also a plate in front of the stone statue, but this plate was empty, and it was clean, so that it was impossible to see what had been put down.
Yu Xing was silent, secretly retreated, and sat at the dining table waiting for his dinner.
Granny Li quickly brought the food, and the aroma of white rice mixed with the stir-fried pork with green vegetables was appetizing.
Yu Xing was really hungry, and although he had something he wanted to take the opportunity to ask, he still decided to eat seriously first.
One bowl is not enough.
He served another bowl of rice.
Granny Li smiled and sat on the side to watch him eat, very idle, and I don't know what this old woman usually does alone.
It wasn't until Yu Xing had almost eaten and his hunger was gone, that he asked, "Granny Li...... You are all called goddesses, where does this title come from? I heard her say, this village is blessed by a priest? ”
"Didn't the goddess tell you? It could be that she was a little busy today, so she didn't have time to say it. Granny Li covered her heart with her skinny hands, and said with a reverent face, "The people in our village are all people who have escaped the black and white impermanence and made a book of life and death." ”
"Huh?" Yu Xing asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Granny Li sighed: "You are still young, probably you haven't thought that when you are old and are going to die, black and white impermanence will come over with a chain to put your head on the head." Isn't everything you get in this world someone else's? I'm so old, but I don't want to die yet, I want to live forever, and the people of our village want to live forever and ever. ”
"O goddess, she is the spokesperson of the gods who helped us deceive the soul seducer and let us live forever in the world, she guides us to please the gods and tells us what to do, she is the most feared person in the whole village!"
Yu Xing: "...... Oh. ”
This is not only brainwashing, this is almost a cult.
He glanced at Granny Li: "Granny Li, are you old this year?" ”
Granny Li, who looks to be in her seventies, said: "I am 100 years old this year, and I am blessed by the gods!" ”
Yu Xing raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Is it 100 years old? At the age of 100, I still have such an active mind, but I really didn't expect it.
Could it be that the goddess really has this ability?
