Chapter Seventy-Eight: Flesh and Blood
In the humid environment, bacteria thrive, and the corpses are so decomposed that it is impossible to identify them by the remaining clothing.
Yan Yu searched carefully, only in the pile of hair that fell on the ground, he found a silver and jade-inlaid hairpin, the shape was simple, slightly elegant, seeing this, Yan Yu's heart was pinched in one place.
Yan Zhenqing is diligent and thrifty, lives an extremely restrained life, and does not wear gold and silver, but this hairpin has been worn, according to him, this is his love affair with Yan Yu's mother!
Holding the hairpin in his hand, looking at the corpse and the sword, Yan Yu was also sad and indignant, and he inevitably complained in his heart.
"Just for such a little thing, you abandon your family and children, for this little thing, you run around, for this little thing, you don't hesitate to throw me in Longfu Mountain, for this little thing, you don't hesitate, you don't hesitate to lose your life, is it worth it!"
Yan Yu was originally just an inner accusation, but he was so excited that he finally shouted out all the words in his heart!
The accusatory words echoed through the dark space, and then were muffled by the sound of water overhead, drowned out by the vapor.
His voice seemed to awaken something in the darkness, and at this moment, his ears were ringing like a precursor to an earthquake, as if time had stopped passing, and even the sound of water above his head had briefly disappeared!
However, it was only a short moment, as if his brain had stopped for a second, and he could clearly feel it, but he couldn't tell the subtle changes.
It seems that his father's undead is blaming him for being an irreverent rebel, but Yan Yu doesn't care at all!
He pointed to the corpses and the sword, and said angrily, "I will destroy this thing today, see what else you have to sacrifice!" ”
Yan Yuben just kicked the giant sword angrily, who would have thought that the platform suddenly shook, and it was really like a powerful earthquake!
The dust and gravel fell, and the huge dragon head had the momentum of leaning downward, and it could even be clearly seen that the arc of the giant sword was increasing!
"It's such a big shelf, I can't complain, right!" Yan Yu cursed, but the shaking did not stop.
Seeing that the giant sword is getting more and more bent, if it goes on like this, I am afraid that it will break, once the dragon head tilts down, it falls into the abyss, and there is no channel to guide it, and the water flow on the head will run directly into the abyss on the bottom of the foot, and it will not fall into the stone trough, and the fairy gourd mouth will be cut off!
"I'm just whining, do I need such a big temper!" Yan Yu jumped to his feet and scolded, but what appeared in his heart was the embarrassment when the village was short of water in the past!
In order to find a water source, he pestered Zhang Gulin and walked all over the valleys of all sizes, and he didn't know how many caves were marked, and how many caves he hit with a shovel.
He could not forget the chapped lips of the children, the suffering of the women digging the rhizomes with the children, and the men hiding in the corners of the walls, because the family members suffered but could not do anything and secretly wiped their tears.
At this moment, he didn't hesitate too much, gritted his teeth, squatted down, got under the dragon's head, and pressed the dragon's head with his shoulder!
The flashlight was bitten in his mouth, the iron sheet was about to get teeth, the battery was squeezed, and the flashlight flickered, and it seemed that it would go out at any time!
His pants were all crumbling due to excessive exertion, and he finally felt the huge crushing pressure when the dragon's head fell, which was simply impossible for humans to resist!
"Don't be angry, I understand you, I understand!" Yan Yu's heart shouted this sentence over and over again.
The moment he crouched down, he really understood.
No matter how much dirt and filth there is in this village, even if the whole village is full of evil people, there is no way to refuse in the face of such a choice!
He may not be a good person, but he is not a bad person, and if he cuts off the water source, he will kill the whole village, including the children in the village, they are all innocent!
Perhaps the father also knew that some people in this village did not deserve sympathy, but most of the people, even if only the children were innocent, could not watch this water source be cut off like this!
Xu is Yan Yu joined, somewhat shared some of the pressure, the giant sword was relieved a little, or maybe the upper and lower ends of the giant sword were loosened, but at this moment, it was ejected because of the change of direction!
"Buzz!"
There was still the sound of the sword blade trembling in the air, and the giant sword shot to the opposite side, and it was actually inserted into the falling star disk!
"Suffered!"
The Falling Star Disk is an extremely complex and delicate mechanism, pierced by the giant sword so strongly, I am afraid that it will destroy the machine spring in it, if it is damaged because of this, it is difficult to open it, Yan Yu will be completely trapped here!
Sure enough, the falling astrolabe sounded and clicked, and it actually began to run slowly!
Yan Yu's heart was full of struggle, without the support of the giant sword, he couldn't stop the dragon head from falling, although the dragon head was slowly sliding at this time, he couldn't stop it at all, if he didn't leave, he would be crushed into powder!
He wasn't a father, he could spend an entire summer searching for water, and he believed that even without this fairy gourd and lotus pond, Old River Fort would still be thirsty and immortal!
He had made up his mind to give up, but his steps did not move, as if a force was pouring out of his heart that prevented him from getting out, or perhaps his father had suffered the same struggle.
He is not a person who gives up halfway, until the last moment, he wants to desperately persevere, seeing that the falling astrolabe is about to be completely chaotic, Yan Yu finally felt the pressure on his shoulders disappear in an instant!
The faucet seems to be stuck!
Yan Yu breathed a sigh of relief, his whole body was already sore at this time, but he didn't dare to stop half a step, and ran out quickly.
The beam suspension bridge was still wobbly and had experienced a moderate vibration, like a pendulum, but Yan Yu's time was running out.
Barely touching the ground, he swept over the beam as fast as he could, and when he reached the side of the falling astrolabe, he slapped his palm on the center of the astrolabe.
Although the middle line was no longer straight, and even a little uneven, Yan Yu's sudden impact still pushed the door open!
The giant sword loosened, and when it was about to hit the ground, Yan Yu grabbed the hilt of the sword and dragged the giant sword with him and rushed out.
The body has just been brushed, the falling astrolabe has collapsed and closed, and the squares on it have shown an extremely irregular bite, falling into a "dead end" that can no longer be solved!
After all, the falling astrolabe is a mechanism, as long as it is a mechanism, there will be a situation that can no longer be untied, just like tying a knot will also be tied into a dead knot, unless a character like the ancestor does it himself, otherwise with the ability to speak strictly, I am afraid that it will be difficult to open this door again.
Yan Yu was also extremely remorseful in his heart, he was only on the line between life and death, and there was not enough time for him to bring the corpse out together, once this door was locked again, the corpse could only sink into the darkness, unable to enter the ground.
It's just that the current situation also doesn't leave much time for Yan Yu to think, because there is only the edge of the wat board half a foot wide outside the falling astrolabe, and Yan Yu's speed of rushing out is too fast, there is no way to stop at all!
His body flew out of the air, his feet in the air, and he knew that something was wrong, and in an instant, he slipped to the edge of the lowest part of the wat board!
At the moment of lightning, Yan Yu almost instinctively slashed the giant sword upwards!
The Pure Yang Sword is the treasure of Longfu Mountain, lifting weights like light, extremely handy, the blade is sharp and can be called sharpening iron like mud, this knife is cut on the wat board, the blade is really stuck in the stone crack!
Yan Yu grabbed the hilt of the sword, his feet hung in the air, but he lowered his head, and the flashlight shone below, which was still more than two meters high from the ground, but Yan Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He shook the hilt of his sword carefully, the blade loosened, and Yan Yu finally landed firmly on the ground.
Letting go of his already swollen mouth, the flashlight fell to the ground, Yan Yu sat down, and he gasped for breath, and it took a while to ease his strength.
At this time, the sun is rising in the east, and it is finally dawn.
Because the immortal statue is backed by the mountain range, Yan Yu can see the sun at this time, which means that the sun has risen very high, and if he doesn't leave, the villagers of Laohebao will come to inspect, and it will be unclear if he is found.
Yan Yu gathered some strength, jumped up and ripped off the "safety rope", put the flashlight into his bag, took off his coat, wrapped the giant sword, and carried it behind his back.
Just as he was about to leave, Yan Yu subconsciously glanced back, but his brows furrowed.
Because the dragon's head has slipped a lot, most of the water spit out falls directly into the abyss, and even fewer can be channeled into the stone trough.
At this time, the water flow of Xianhukou has been intermittent, if it is said that the villagers of Laohebao can barely save their lives earlier, and they will not be dying of thirst, I am afraid that this time I can only find another way to live, relying on this lotus pond to continue my life, I am afraid that it will not be able to continue.
Thinking of the lotus pond, Yan Yu couldn't help but think of the round and fat groundhog, but at this time, looking at the lotus pond, the fat guy was gone.
This guy seems to be able to live only at night, and he disappears during the day, and Yan Yu has no time to take care of it at the moment, so he can only leave the ancestral grave land quickly.
Thanks to his timely departure, when he arrived at the fire ground of the Dragon King Temple, he had already seen Qin Zhong walking towards the entrance of the ancestral tomb with Ergou and a few other young villagers.
After the burning fire, there were not many places near the Dragon King Temple that could be shielded, and Yan Yu had to hide behind the ruins, so that he could be regarded as avoiding Qin Zhong and the others.
When they passed by, Yan Yu came up and slipped back to his hut as soon as possible, and before he had time to put down his things, he lay down on the bed, never wanting to get up again.
This fatigue is of course due to physical exertion, but it is more of a psychological shock and emotional impact.
He took out the silver-inlaid jade hairpin from his pocket, and all that came to his mind was his father's voice and smile.
This matter of time is always cherished only after it is lost.
Thinking back at this time, all he could recall was his father's kindness to him, and it was inevitable that sadness would come from it, and then he thought about his father's flesh and blood, almost stupidly carrying the dragon head that weighed more than a thousand catties, and Yan Yu's heart was also full of mixed feelings.
He didn't know much about his father, but last night, he seemed to have begun to see some of his father's brilliance, and unfortunately, he was afraid that he would never see his father's face again.
