Chapter 513: Saving People
Su Mu stood at the door for a while, but did not go back to his room. He thought about it www.biquge.info came to the door of Li Cheng's study, which happened to be next to his room, and then reached out and knocked on the door.
"Who?"
"It's me, Su Musha."
"......" was silent for a moment, and then said, "Come in." ”
The door was not locked from the inside, so Su Musha easily entered the study.
Li Cheng sat at his desk, looking at the book intently—even if it was the village chief's house, it was no different from the rest of Huangshi Village—and there was no electric light in Li Cheng's study, and it was an oil lamp in front of the desk that was used for lighting. Outside the candle flame, which was still bright, was covered with an extraordinarily fine glass lampshade, on which a rather delicate pattern of auspicious clouds was delicately depicted, which looked more like a handicraft.
The darkness crept in through the window, casting a deep shadow on Li Cheng's side face. Between the flickering candles, his face looked particularly mysterious.
After Li Cheng saw people coming in, he didn't move for a long time, and then he raised his head from the book. As a result, I happened to see Su Mu's eyes full of inquiry.
"What are you looking at?" Li Cheng habitually frowned, his expression a little impatient.
Su Musha shook his head, "What book are you reading?" ”
Li Cheng closed the book in his hand, "It's nothing, it's just an ordinary travelogue." You sit here. ”
He pointed to a wooden chair on the other side of his desk.
Su Musha took two steps forward, and then sat down.
Li Cheng couldn't help but be a little strange when he saw him looking calm and light, strolling leisurely, "Didn't you say you wanted to save your friend, why, don't you do it yet?" ”
"Don't worry," Su Musha looked at the huge clock hanging on the wall, the time was just half past nine, "It's still early, and I don't need to do it myself." ”
Li Cheng muttered, "Weirdo." ”
Su Mu covered his eyes on his nose, and looked at the glass oil seal on the table, "In your village, don't you use electricity?" ”
Li Cheng's eyes sank suddenly—even in such a dim environment, Su Musha could still see clearly—Li Cheng sat sideways in his chair and made a good posture, "You found out?" We don't have electricity here, in other words, the people in the village don't even know that electricity exists. ”
"What?" Su Musha was taken aback, and his words were a little difficult, "Could it be that no one has been to the outside world...... No, don't you know? ”
"What can I do?" The corners of Li Cheng's mouth smiled again with a sneering smile, "You don't know, I'm the only person in the village who has gone to school outside and been admitted to university for so many years. But no one in our village believed in what I had learned, they refused to accept the new things outside, they were used to this kind of life. This is my home, and when I stay at home, I have to compromise. ”
In Huangshi Village, all school-age children study in private schools, and most of the villagers live a self-sufficient life, they stay here all their lives, from birth to death, and never go to the outside world. Only a very small number of people have the ambition to go out and realize their dreams, but they never come back.
Of course, there is an exception.
When Li Cheng was still young, one of their uncles went out to travel for a while and then returned to the village, and he enthusiastically shared his experience with others, but no one wanted to listen to it. Only Li Cheng leaned up in ignorance, following behind this uncle like a little tail, listening to him talk about people and things that he had never heard of.
A seed quickly took root in his little heart, Li Cheng swears. When he grows up, he must also go out to see.
However, it is very sad that the uncle died of a sudden illness shortly after returning to the village. The people in the village said that he was infected outside, and since then he has been regarded as a flood beast when he leaves the village. Only inheritance has never changed his thoughts.
When he was eighteen years old, Li Cheng proposed to go out to school, which was strongly opposed by his father, but Li Cheng was also stubborn, packed his bags, quietly left home one night, stayed outside for three years, and finally was admitted to the university with his own efforts, and also saw those scenery that was very different from Huangshi Village. In order to survive, he suffered a lot outside, but Li Cheng gritted his teeth and endured it.
Later, Li Cheng's father couldn't resist the longing for his son, and finally relented and compromised, he wrote a letter to Li Cheng, allowing him to go to school outside, and begging him to go home.
Only then did Li Cheng return to Huangshi Village.
********
His words were like thunder, and for a while, many doubts were explained - why no one called the emergency number when Li Zhen had an accident, why the villagers could easily accept that outsiders were burned to death, and why there were no wires and other equipment here............
"Your father, is it ...... Anyway? After a moment of surprise, Su Musha regained his composure.
If the villagers are allowed to fall into a state of ignorance and ignorance, a normal village chief will not do this at all.
Li Cheng seemed unwilling to answer this question, and said in a rough voice: "You don't care about these things." Our village has been like this for more than a hundred years, Su Musha, you and your sister are just two people, and your strength is impossible to compete with the people of a village. If you want to spend these two days here in peace, learn to be smarter, don't ask anything, don't say anything. ”
Su Mushu was silent - Li Cheng obviously knew something inside, but he didn't want to say it at all.
The atmosphere in the study became a little awkward for a while. At this time, the dull sound of "bells" sounded, but it was the sound of the ancient bell on the wall, one, two, three...... It took a full ten knocks before the sound stopped.
It was already ten o'clock in the evening.
Su Musha's eyes flickered slightly under the lenses, and he raised his right hand slightly and made a "hold" motion-
At the same time, not far away, the iron fixing the door lock on the door of the Li family's firewood room suddenly fell off automatically without any external force, and the door lock naturally fell down.
In the firewood room, Zhang Daoyuan had already taken the knife that Su Musha gave him, quietly cut the hemp rope tied to his body, and stood up from the ground.
- Don't ask him why he doesn't have a watch or a mobile phone, and he knows it's ten o'clock in the evening. If he didn't even have this ability, would he really laugh at the Zhang family's group of animals to death?!
Zhang Daoyuan still admired Su Musha's plan to let him escape now. Because in the afternoon, the village chief brought a few people to see him in the firewood house, for fear that he would run away. And among these people, there is the old Taoist priest who killed him last time. The old Taoist priest was still holding the strange-looking thing that had prevented him from using his aura last time, and his eyes were always staring at him.
If Su Musha took him to escape from here during the day, he didn't know what traps these people had set outside. And with the cover of this night, everything is much more convenient.
And Xiao Susu also promised himself to let himself be wronged, Xiao Susu is really the best? (ˊwˋ*)?!
- Zhang Daoyuan thought all the times.
He patted the dirt on his clothes, and like a thief, he quietly stood on tiptoe and came to the door of the firewood room.
Zhang Daoyuan pushed open a crack in the door of the firewood room, poked his head out and swept around in the darkness, making sure that there was no one outside, then opened the door and walked out.
A huge black shadow swooped down from the sky at this time, Zhang Daoyuan immediately tensed the muscles of his whole body, and as soon as he raised his head, he was immediately happy-the one above his head was not the Dapeng bird covered by Su Musha?
The roc bird is quiet and makes little noise except for the flapping of its wings. It quickly landed in front of Zhang Daoyuan, opened its mouth and grabbed his collar, and threw it on his back. After he sat down, the Dapeng bird immediately spread its wings and flew into the sky, and soon disappeared without a trace......
*********
There was a low bird call from the sky, the sound was not loud, and there were already many trees in Huangshi Village, so those villagers who had not slept only regarded this as an ordinary bird call, and did not pay attention to it at all.
The smile on the corner of Su Mu's mouth was fleeting - the thing was done.
"So glad your friend was saved?" Li Cheng noticed this subtle expression on Su Musha's face, so he teased.
Su Mu didn't hide it, "I'm saved, thank you." ”
Li Cheng was stunned for a moment, "I/Damn, I'm just talking...... You people ......"
"We're just ordinary people." Su Musha stood up, "Thank you Young Master Li for your hospitality, if Ling Zun asks tomorrow, I hope that Senior Young Master Li will testify for me, and say that I will chat with you in the study, thank you." ”
"I'll just say why you ran here inexplicably, it turned out to be to take advantage of this son. Su Musha, you're too unkind. Li Cheng couldn't help laughing, "Do you want me to borrow you two books, tomorrow, you said to read books with me in the study, I guess my father will not doubt you." ”
Hearing this, Su Mushu paused, he turned around, and a smile appeared on his face, "Is it really possible?" ”
Looking at Li Cheng's confused appearance, Su Musha stretched out his hand and pointed to the book on his desk, "Can you lend me this travel book?" ”
"............," Li Cheng understood, "...... it! ”
Of course, in the end, Su Musha still took the book back to his room ( ̄▽ ̄).
