Chapter 83: Sacrifice
There were not many people on the plane, and there were not many things stored in the luggage compartment, so it was not long before Ye Mu moved it empty.
"What's going on in the baggage compartment?" Ma Kun asked, tilting his head.
"Three flight attendants died here." Ye Mu replied lightly, and then said, "Find out your bronze Buddha and talisman, we have to hurry up." ”
Ma Kun quickly found his luggage in the bloodstained package, he borrowed the short knife in Lu Xin's hand, and directly cut the package, which was full of some clothes.
Wrapped in clothing is a half-head-sized bronze statue of Maitreya Buddha, dressed in a bodhisattva costume, sitting with his feet crossed, and then hanging under his left foot, bending his right leg, and holding his cheek with his right hand.
Maitreya Buddha, also known as Maitreya Buddha, that is, the future Buddha, is widely believed among the people.
Ma Kun took out a red coat again, fumbled in his pocket, and took out four small red bags, on which a golden swastika was printed.
Ma Kun handed the bag and the bronze Buddha to Ye Mu together, and said solemnly: "That's all, it should be more or less effective, the talisman contains the rune paper that copied the Buddhist scriptures, and it can't be wet, the Maitreya Bronze Buddha can shake ghosts, but it must face the evil thing, you can distribute it." ”
"You don't keep one?" Ye Mu wondered.
"I have a jade Buddha pendant, this kind of magic weapon can only be offered to one person, I can't provide that bronze Buddha, you have to hand it over to an open-minded, pure-minded person." Ma Kun explained.
Ye Mu nodded, he glanced at the four talismans in his hand, some of them were big, and after a moment of silence, he spoke: "Dai Qing and Liu You'er use one talisman, Qin Aowu and Liu Wen use one talisman, old professor, you and your assistant use one talisman, Jiang Wu, you take one talisman alone." ”
"Do you take the bronze Buddha?" Ma Kun was stunned, he didn't seem to hear Ye Mu mention himself.
Ye Mu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "How dare I take this kind of treasure, my mind is pure and I have nothing to do with it." ”
After saying that, he carefully handed the bronze Buddha in his hand to Lu Xin, and then spoke: "Among all the people I know, you should be regarded as the purest mind." ”
Lu Xin was flattered by the bronze Buddha, and her face was grateful.
Everyone took the amulet bag handed by Ye Mu and looked at it in amazement.
"Don't touch the water." Ye Mu admonished again.
And they picked out some useful things from the luggage all over the ground, and put them together and carried them on their backs.
"Let's go, let's go, but I'm not sure I'll leave this area before I run into that little hanged man at night." Ye Mu beckoned to everyone and signaled everyone to prepare to go.
The road is full of stone forests and scattered trees, many areas are empty as far as the eye can see, and the surrounding stone forests are full of a large number of poisonous scorpions, and no one wants to approach rashly.
As long as you don't get close to these stone forests, you won't be attacked by poisonous scorpions.
In the afternoon, you can already see the dense forest in the distance. This means that they are about to get out of this barren and empty area.
The old professor walked slowly to Ye Mu's side and proposed: "Let's take turns to rest, it's relatively safe during the day, and maybe it will be haunted at night, so let's recuperate first." ”
Ye Mu agreed: "It's better to think ahead, professor." ”
The old professor suggested that Ye Mu was naturally as good as a stream, not to mention that now he himself was a little tired, sharpening his knife and cutting firewood, and recuperating to prepare for the enemy.
"Then I'll go over there for convenience, please help me take care of Xiao An." The professor squinted his eyes and smiled kindly and warmly.
"Well, I'll do my best to protect everyone." Ye Mu nodded in response.
The old professor turned around with a smile and walked towards a tree in the distance with his back bent.
Looking at the back of the old man leaving, Ye Mu frowned slightly.
It's just convenient, why is it necessary to go so far.
As long as he didn't approach the stone forest rashly during the day, there would be no danger, and Ye Mu was too lazy to meddle with things.
"Brother Ye Mu, have you seen Professor Cai?" Assistant Xiao An hurriedly ran to Ye Mu and asked.
Ye Mu was surprised: "You're not with him?" ”
"I... I went to the toilet and when I came back, the professor was gone. The girl's cheeks were slightly red.
"He went to the toilet too, under that tree." Yemunu mouth.
After the professor left, he never returned, and he ran under the tree with the group, and there was no one behind the tree, except for the suicide note he had written on the dirt floor with a wooden branch and a red bag pressed by stones.
"I'm old, I can't keep up with my physical strength, and staying with you can only become a burden to everyone, tell Xiao An not to look for me, please help me take care of her,"
Assistant Xiao An knelt on the ground, crying bitterly.
"Professor... Teach why he left on his own..."
She never imagined that her beloved professor would choose to leave the team silently.
"He's afraid of dragging everyone down, and he's even more afraid of dragging you down." Dai Qing pursed her lips and said softly to the girl.
In fact, the older people get, the more afraid they are of death, because they know that it is good to live.
The old professor devoted himself to scientific research, never married, and when he was old, he taught and educated people, and the peach and plum were all over the world.
It's a pity that he never had a son in his life.
The old professor saw very clearly, and his old age and frail body had undoubtedly become the biggest burden to the team and a burden to the assistant.
In the eyes of the old professor, he has long regarded the assistant Xiao An as his own.
As a parent, you are always willing to make some sacrifices for your children...
At the end of the suicide note, it was neatly written...
'Don't read'
...
"I'm going to the professor!" Xiao An had tears in his eyes, and his tone was resolute.
"He chose to leave alone for you." Ye Mu reminded softly.
"That's why I'm going to find him!"
"The two of you are together, one is old and weak, one is a woman and a child, I don't think any of you will survive." Ye Mu reminded again.
"Then die, I can't let the professor die alone in this hellish place."
Ye Mu waved his hand: "Then you go, we won't mess around with you." ”
Assistant Xiao An was stunned, looking at Ye Mu in disbelief, he didn't expect this man to be so cold-blooded and ruthless.
Everyone was silent, and Dai Qing took the hand of the assistant Xiao An and persuaded: "The old professor is also for your good, don't waste the old man's thoughts." ”
Xiao An clenched his fists, clenched his silver teeth, and his face was gloomy as water.
"Why don't we go to the old professor with Sister An?" Lu Xin whispered.
Liu You'er frowned slightly, and quietly pulled the corner of Lu Xin's clothes.
Assistant Xiao An's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at everyone expectantly.
Everyone's eyes dodged, and no one echoed Lu Xin's proposal.
"We shouldn't let the old professor die." Lu Xin's tone was sad, trying to persuade everyone.
Liu You'er sighed and spoke leisurely: "Teacher Lu, if Professor Cai is kidnapped, I will consider saving him, but this is his own choice, and I will respect him." ”
"No one can stop a person who is bent on death." Ye Mu shook his head and sighed lightly: "Lu Xin, have you forgotten how we got into trouble with the boy in red?" ”
"Then why don't you take the Maitreya Bronze Buddha and go to the old professor with your assistant? People are self-aware, you are the one who is protected, and you still have the face to ask others to risk your compassion? Liu Wen sneered directly.
Lu Xin's pretty face turned red, and she couldn't refute Liu Wen's cynicism every time, she simply hated this indifferent woman.
Seeing that no one supported her, Lu Xin could only obediently shut her mouth and let her go to the professor with her assistant Xiao An alone, not looking for death?
"Let go of me!" Assistant Xiao An trembled by everyone's words, she shook off Dai Qing's hand suddenly, clutched the talisman in her hand and ran into the distance.
"Have you ever watched those bloody emotional dramas?" Ye Mu looked up at the sky, and the sun stabbed his eyeballs: "It's this kind of plot, but often there will be no good ending, there is always one person who stupidly lives up to the kindness of the other." ”
"It's too capricious, like them, the team has long been in chaos, and sooner or later it will kill everyone." Dai Qing skimmed her head, and her autumn-like eyes showed a trace of unbearable.
The professor was immersed in his heroism, and he thought: 'I am for the good of everyone, for the good of Xiao'an, and I will sacrifice myself.' ’
Xiao An thought: 'I can't let the professor do such a stupid thing, I want to die together, I have to find him.' ’
The end is to die together.
It sounds romantic, but the reality is skinny.
Xiao An only has a professor in her eyes, and there is no team, so there is no Xiao An in the eyes of the team, and no one will pay for her willfulness, after all, everyone is not familiar with her.
'Please take care of Xiao An. ’
This was the professor's request before leaving.
I'm going to try to protect everyone. ’
This is Ye Mu's answer.
'I'm sorry Professor... I want to take care of my friends even more. ’
The departed professor and assistant Xiao An never returned.
