Chapter 118: Rescue Operation
This faint light gave him hope to live, and the desire to survive prompted the mountain god to continue digging desperately, and after persevering to dig to the place where the light was, the mountain god chiseled the end of the sapper shovel through the gravel pile bit by bit.
After carving out a gap that would allow him to pass through, the mountain god found himself on the outside of Mount Fernan. And when I looked back, I came out of the ground. In other words, the mountain god is lucky.
The passage that was not completely blocked after the aftershocks was actually likely to be the exit of Caifolian Mountain to the outside world. However, if you look at it from the outside, this entrance is very hidden, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find it.
The mountain gods have this feeling after they come out of it, as long as they bury a little dirt and plug some gravel, it is a land that has no sense of disobedience at first glance, and there is no clue at all.
"You're so lucky, yes, brother, that's fate." Wang Er Mazi listened with emotion and patted the mountain god on the shoulder. But the mountain god just smiled bitterly, and his expression did not seem cheerful.
He said that although he had escaped with good fortune, he did not know what happened to the villagers. When the mountain god said this, everyone stopped talking. I think maybe it's because everyone knows the results.
How many entrances can there be from the underground Buddhist temple to the outside of Lotus Mountain? It was already a rare event that the mountain god himself happened to be trapped in that place, and he simply couldn't expect anything from such a faint possibility.
In addition, it has been nearly a month since the disappearance of the villagers, and the mountain god said before that everyone has food evenly distributed, and this stored food is only enough to eat for a week.
Even if they have a strong ability to survive in the wild, they must first get out of the underground Buddhist temple, and there will be no game to eat in the closed underground Buddhist temple.
"We have to figure out a way, we can't just leave it alone." The mountain god cast a plea of attention at Oe and us, but everyone was embarrassed. Let's not talk about the position of Dajiang and Lang Jin, for me and Wang Er Mazi, we came here to find the mountain god.
Of course, if you can rescue those villagers by the way, you will naturally save them, but now that the mountain god has ensured survival, is it necessary to enter the dangerous Buddha Lotus Mountain to take risks? I'm not a saint, neither is Wang Ermazi, the villagers of Nanhe Village wanted to drown us before.
“…… I'm going to get some chili peppers. ”
In silence, Lang Jin spoke softly, and then left the house. I looked at Lang Jin's silent back, and sighed in my heart. Although the girl didn't say anything, she must have panicked in her heart - her father was also on the team this time.
Even though her father is the first Orion in Nanhe Village, if as the mountain god said, everyone is trapped in the underground Buddhist temple, it is really unlucky, and I don't think that the ability of a hunter can be brought into play in the underground Buddhist temple.
“…… Save, of course, to save. ”
Not long after, Dae said something in a deep voice, and the mountain god looked at him nervously.
"However, we need manpower and time to prepare, and if we blindly go up the mountain, we will only put ourselves in danger...... Now, there have been quite a few things in Nanhe Village, and I'm not sure if the village chief will really agree to this rescue operation......"
"You can't just sit idly by!"
The mountain god hurriedly shouted, he seemed urgent, perhaps out of guilt. Oe didn't answer him and shook his head slightly.
"Mountain God...... Can you really be sure that they're all alive today? In case they have ...... What should we do if we people have met with misfortune, the situation is worse, if those of us who went to the rescue do not come back, how many wives and children in the village will become widows and orphans......
Oe's rational analysis was correct, and objectively, there was not a slight error in his statement, and the mountain god was choked by what he said, and his head hung deeply. It is reasonable to say that there is no problem for Nanhe Village to send people to rescue their companions, but the reality is cruel.
The population of Nanhe Village is not large, and in addition, outsiders are not accepted here, so there is one less villager to die, and each family has only one parent. No matter how good the relationship between the villagers is, it is not easy for you to ask them to put their own lives on the line for the lives of others.
And if we can ensure that these people who need to be rescued are still alive, maybe there are still people willing to take the initiative to participate in the rescue operation, but if the villagers knew what the mountain god told us just now, I don't think there will be a few people who are willing to participate, especially those who have families.
“…… Anyway, we already know the thing, let's do it today, and tomorrow we will think about it in the long run. ”
"If it's going to be saved, it must be as soon as possible, every minute and every second we're procrastinating here now, if they're alive...... It was terrible pain. ”
After the mountain god finished speaking, he left in silence, Wang Er Mazi glanced at me and hurriedly chased out, it is estimated that he wanted to say hello to him first, and said that we were going to find the ancient tomb.
Oe sat on a chair and looked at a little bit of the void with some distraction. I looked at him for a long time, and then said, "The child was born in winter?" ”
Hearing this, Dae was suddenly stunned, looked at me, and nodded slowly. I said to him, "Be good to your wife, the pregnant woman...... You can't live without your husband, even if you don't think about her, you have to think about your children. Let her be alone, raising a newborn child alone, can you bear it?
Just now, facing Dajiang, who was hesitant to face the mountain god who was in a hurry to save people, was actually a little different from his style. In my impression, Oe is a very righteous and action-oriented boy. But I understand him, 100% of the time.
He's not alone, it's like having a pregnant wife. I think that if Oe was alone, he would have agreed to the mountain god's request without saying a word.
Even if it was only the mountain god and the two of them on the road, I don't think he would have any hesitation. After all, it was the mountains and rivers of Nanhe Village that gave birth to him and raised him, and the villagers of Nanhe Village were relatives to him.
“…… Thank you, I think I know what to do. Da Jiang tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled lightly, and I laughed silently.
And at this moment, suddenly there was a scream outside the house—it was a woman's scream, a heart-rending scream.
"Someone!! Come and help!! Dongzi was taken away——!! My baby!! My child——!! ”
"Let's go!"
Oe and I were stunned at the same time, and then hurried out of the house, and when we reached the source of the sound, we found that many people had already gathered there, and in the middle of the crowd there was a crying woman who was about to die.
I remembered what she had just said, and hurriedly looked around, but I didn't see any figures—suddenly, from the southeast corner, I saw a white shadow.
It's not a shadow of a person, it's a fog. I could see the mist out of the corner of my eye, but in a matter of seconds, the mist had completely dissipated, leaving no shadow. I felt a lot heavier in my heart.
It was the Banshee of the White Mist, and although I had seriously injured her at the time, I had not been able to get rid of her completely. However, the Banshee of the White Mist itself is a goblin that cannot be solved by "brute force".
Beside the crying heart-rending woman, Lang Jin, the mountain god, and Wang Er Mazi had already surrounded them. I noticed a few deep scratches on her hands, but there was not a trace of blood left behind - the wounds were frozen in a thin layer of ice.
After seeing this wound, I was completely sure that the murderer who took the child was the Banshee of the White Mist.
"Brother Da Jiang, come and help my sister bandage her wounds!"
Seeing that Lang Jin was anxiously shouting to himself, Dae immediately greeted him, and I followed him and stopped Dajiang when he was about to bandage. Lang Jin and Da Jiang were both stunned, staring at me with some confusion.
"Jun, what are you doing?"
I shook my head at Oe's puzzled expression, and Nunu motioned for him to take a closer look at the wound. Da Jiang and Lang Jin, as well as Wang Er Mazi, all came up to take a look, and then they found that it was strange, and their faces changed.
", what's the situation, why is this wound still frozen, this big summer joke, right?"
“…… This is, what's going on......"
"Sister, sister...... Do you feel pain in your wound? ”
Lang Jin hurriedly asked the woman, but her intestines that had been crying because the child was snatched away were about to be broken, and I don't know when her crying began to weaken.
Seeing Lang Jin ask herself, she looked down at the wound, then at Lang Jin, and said weakly that she didn't know, she didn't feel it, so she slowly closed her eyes.
"Brother Dajiang, is this poisoned? Could it be that Dongzi was snatched by a wild beast? ”
The wound on the woman's arm was rare, a bit like a scratch by an ocelot. It's just that no one is sure, after all, there are all kinds of beasts in this deep mountain.
Seeing that none of them suspected the head of the White Mist Banshee, I sighed, wanting to explain the existence of ghosts to this group of simple villagers, which was a headache in itself. didn't talk to them either, and motioned to Lang Jin to put the woman on the ground and let her lie down.
I asked Wang Er Mazi to go back to the house and take out my bag, I took out a brand new pale yellow rune paper from the package, poured the potion mixed with dog blood and black donkey hoof powder that had been prepared in advance into a bowl, dipped it with a brush, and drew an exorcism spell on the charm.
After that, I burned the rune paper and put the ashes in a new bowl, and added a bowl of water, so that Lang Jin could lift the woman's head so that I could feed her water.
Lang Jin, who was very cooperative, immediately stopped doing it when he saw this, stopped me at once, and said a little angrily: "How can you drink this water mixed with ashes, what are you thinking!" ”
I sighed, didn't bother to explain, and said, "If you want to save her, don't ask, do me a favor." ”
"No! No is no good! You're going to hurt her! ”
Just when I was having a headache, a majestic voice suddenly came from a distance.
"Lang Jin, you let him do what he thinks, don't stop him."
I was stunned, and when I looked up, I saw that the crowd had automatically dispersed into two rows, and the village chief and two village cadres were walking towards me.
"Village Chief! Don't you see that this water is full of ash! How can you drink this kind of thing! ”
Lang Jin is a violent temper, and no matter who ordered him, he stood up and confronted the village chief at once—and I took advantage of this effort to hurriedly ask Wang Er Mazi to pry this woman's mouth open for me, and then poured all the water into her.
"Hey, what are you two doing! You're crazy, aren't you? After everything was done, Lang Jin's angry voice came from behind him.
