Chapter 202: Pain
There was light in the deep pool that was still dark just now, Zhang Ning was still in a daze, but another huge force suddenly came from under him, and the huge force instantly surged all over the body, and the internal organs were instantly greatly impacted. Zhang Ning is only a little stronger than ordinary people now, where can he withstand so many impacts, at the moment when the huge force hit, his eyes turned black, and he fainted directly.
I don't know how long it took, Zhang Ning woke up.
When he opened his eyes and barely stood up, the first thing that caught his eye was something he knew very well.
Forbidden Stone Tablet.
To his right, a forbidden stone tablet was stuck diagonally on the ground. Although the stele was covered by green moss, Zhang Ning recognized it for the first time, and the stele diagonally inserted in front of him was the taboo stele.
"How is it possible?" Zhang Ning's eyes widened instantly, and when he looked around, he was surprised to find that he had appeared in a cave. The cave is not big, but it is not small, about one or two hundred square meters. The stone walls of the cave are covered with a strange yellow vegetation, and it is the white light emitted by this vegetation that illuminates the entire cave. Not far from him is a three-meter-square pool.
What's going on?
Wasn't I still in the deep pool?
Could it be that the deepest part of the deep pool connects this cave?
Complicated questions followed, shaking his head, looking at the scene around him, and the memories of before the coma came back to his mind.
By the way, I saw a glimmer of light before I fell unconscious, and I guess this is the bottom of the deep pool.
"Seven Leaf Lotus!" suddenly remembered the purpose of his trip, Zhang Ning jumped up from the ground, and regardless of the faint pain on his body, he searched for it in the cave. As for the forbidden stone tablet behind him, Zhang Ning didn't take a second look at it at all, for him now, how many forbidden stone tablets are not as important as Qiye Lian.
In less than a moment, Zhang Ning's wild laughter rang out in the cave. "Haha, I found it, I found it!"
Just now, in the deepest part of the cave, Zhang Ning found more than a dozen horse chestnut lotuses!
The nine-leaf lotus may be precious, but in the whirlpool of the Bermuda Triangle, any precious medicinal herb can be found, as long as Angel first takes the seven-leaf lotus to avoid the pain every day, and then look for the nine-leaf lotus in the whirlpool.
After carefully putting away the Seven Leaf Lotus, Zhang Ning walked towards the forbidden stone tablet that was obliquely inserted on the ground. The stele is not deep, a little force, the stele is pulled up from the ground, this stele has been inserted on the ground for a certain number of years, the stele is full of stains, a lot of mud is tightly attached to the stele, how to get rid of it.
The stele was brought to the pool and cleaned for a while, and the taboo stele finally returned to its former appearance.
With the light emitted by the vegetation on the stone wall, Zhang Ning just wanted to see the things on this forbidden stone tablet, but suddenly a strange voice came from his ears.
Zhang Ning's face changed, and he turned his head suddenly.
Behind him, there was no one.
Night.
The sky was full of clouds, and the night wind howled, blowing deep in the shadowy woods. The snow piled up on the trees fell to the ground with a fluttering sound.
A few dogs barking outside the window, and Stan takes a few puffs of his cigarette and places the yellowed bongs on the table. Looking around at the few people at the table, he let out a long circle of eyes and said slowly. "I remember telling you back then that this winter was going to be very long, right? But why are you telling me now that you're running out of food?"
As he spoke, Stan's eyes swept over the group, and while their eyes weren't sharp, everyone he saw lowered their heads involuntarily.
Seeing that the few people who came with him were silent, Ehrman couldn't help but curse secretly.
Every year at the beginning of winter, the Emias Farm prepares food for the winter in advance in order to survive the cold winter. In accordance with past practice, this year the farm prepared two and a half months' worth of grain.
I thought that two and a half months of food should be enough, but I didn't expect this year's winter to be particularly long, so far, it has lasted for three full months, and from that day on, the wind and snow in the sky still did not stop. It looks like there will be more than half a month of winter, but there is no food left in the farm's warehouse.
In fact, if it weren't for the thrift in the following month, the people on the farm would have been without food a long time ago. However, frugality alone is not enough, and the two-and-a-half-month grain for three months has reached its limit, and now there is not much food left in the farm, and if no more food can be found, the whole farm will starve to death.
As a result, Ehrman and his party approached Stan, a well-known man on the farm, and asked him to show the way to the others.
Listening to Stan's complaints, and thinking of Stan's initial advice to himself, everyone felt their faces burn unconsciously. If they hadn't been able to think of any other way, they wouldn't have found Stan.
After a long silence, Ehrman coughed dryly and said stiffly. "Uncle Stan, this matter has made us think about it too much, we thought ......" Before he could finish speaking, Stan stood up from his chair, picked up the cigarette gun on the table and pointed it at Ehrman and scolded. "Didn't I remind you again and again? Didn't you tell me that you had hoarded enough food? Now you tell me, where is the hoarded food? Do you think I'm old and confused now, so what I say is not as useful as it used to be?"
When Stan was younger, he had traveled to the outside world, and he was much better at seeing and talking than the people on the farm, so when he returned to the farm, he became the most knowledgeable person on the farm. Because of this, the people of the farm often come to him when they encounter problems, and because he can often come up with solutions, he is very loved by people. It's just that in recent years, as Stan has grown older, the people on the farm don't believe him as much as they used to.
If it was before, as long as he said casually, the people of the farm would definitely prepare a large amount of grain for the winter, but now......
Thinking that his words were being ignored, Rao was past the age of gambling, Stan still felt very uncomfortable, and his old face was full of unhappiness.
Ehrman blushed and waved his hand. "No, Uncle Stan, we've always believed in you. Who doesn't know that you are the most educated person in the farm......" As he spoke, Ehrman winked at the group of people who had come with him.
"Yes, yes, I heard my mom say when I was a kid, Uncle Stan, you're the smartest person in our village. ”
"Uncle Stan, this time we were wrong, we were dizzy for a while, and we refused to believe you, we will definitely not be like this in the future. ”
The people who reacted hurriedly spoke, and all kinds of flattery and slapping words flowed out of their mouths. But how do these farmers know so many words, and the words that come and go are that Stan is smart, Stan is handsome, Stan is handsome, and so on......
Fortunately, Stan's requirements are not high, and seeing the boys' low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, his heart softened. After all, he is also a person in the farm, so it is impossible to watch the people in the farm not be able to eat, right?
"You asked me to find a way to get food, and I can tell you for sure that I can't help it. Stan's first sentence chilled everyone's hearts, but he added another sentence later. "But you can go to Brother Ziyou to discuss. ”
"Ziyou?" everyone looked at each other, not expecting to hear Zhang Ning's name from Stan's mouth.
Zhang Ning's sudden appearance on the mountain road was really strange, so on the day he was found, everyone in the farm knew about him, and after he woke up, the old Vic couple ran back to the farm excitedly and told everyone his name loudly.
So for Zhang Ning, everyone in the farm knows a lot.
However, because he had persuaded Old Vic to give up Zhang Ning, everyone rarely dealt with Zhang Ning on weekdays, firstly, because it was embarrassing, and secondly, because it took Zhang Ning three years to wake up, which made them feel an inexplicable fear of Zhang Ning. After all, not everyone can be in a coma for three years, and in their hearts, Zhang Ning, an Oriental, is a bit like a wizard.
Ehrman asked hesitantly. "Uncle Stan, can Brother Ziyou really solve the problem?"
Stan nodded without hesitation, then asked. "After Ziyou woke up, have you ever seen Vic and them come back to ask for food?"
