Chapter 379: "I've Become Sluggish"
I almost forgot about this mess just now, and followed Ling Xiao towards the gate of the brewery.
I found that the workers had already woken up, and the white-robed and black-robed women were long gone.
TMD。 Or let them run away, I cursed in my heart.
When we walked out of the brewery, we found that there were a lot of ghost people gathered here, and when we asked, we found out that they were from a nearby farm, because they heard the explosion just now, and they rushed over without knowing what was going on at the brewery.
When I saw these villagers, I immediately remembered the poisoned food, and it seemed that at least some people had survived. I was comforted a little.
But how do I sue them about this winery? Will they believe it?
When the ghost people saw us running out, they were already talking about it.
"Didn't they want us to burn our crops?"
"Did they blow up the wine?"
The wine was fried? What's going on? I asked one of the good-looking ghost people, and he told me that someone had blown up the carriage parked outside, and it was full of freshly brewed wine.
Ling Xiao and I looked at each other, who blew it up? It seems that this person has the same purpose as us, to stop this conspiracy, could it be the same person who injured the woman in the black robe?
When the explosion sounded, I felt a powerful ghostly aura, and the white clothes would be scared like that, this mysterious person is definitely not a simple character.
When the little wine spirits heard that the poisonous wine had been destroyed, they naturally cheered. The ghost people didn't know what was going on, so I asked the little wine spirits to tell them the truth.
The most daring of the drunkards told the Oni people what had happened in the distillery, and some of them didn't believe it at first because they had always been suspicious of us, but the workers who woke up confirmed the little winery's words. The ghost people were all silent.
"Do you have any snow contaminated food at home?" I asked the ghost people.
They nodded, and an elderly man said to me that if he hadn't heard the little wine spirit say this, he would never believe that the snow would be poisonous, and he sighed again.
"If I had listened to you and burned all the food, so many people would not have died."
I was also silent, I knew that this would be the result, but the survivors no longer misunderstood me, and I still felt a little relieved, and now the ghost people have treated our group as the great heroes of Kang Jiawei.
"And what will the brewery do in the future?" The old man looked at the winery behind us. Not without concern.
Actually, I was thinking about this just now. For such an important distillery in the demon world, it can't just be closed because of this, but the original director is dead, who can afford this heavy responsibility?
As soon as the old man asked this sentence, the boldest little wine spirit kept pursing his mouth and his expression was very strict, in fact, I could see that it was different from when we first met, and in the process of us taking the winery along the way, the little wine spirit could be said to have played a vital role.
I walked up to it and said, "This factory director, are you willing to do it?" ”
Xiao Jiuling didn't speak, but looked at me very seriously, I could see that it was a responsible little guy, but probably never thought that he was going to be a factory director, and he was still struggling with ideas.
Ling Xiao also saw the little wine spirit's thoughts, and said loudly, "Save the winery this time, without the help of the little wine spirit, we won't succeed!" How about handing over to the little wine spirits in the future for a winery with such a spiritual spirit as Kangjiawei? ”
Ling Xiao's words were very inspiring, as soon as he finished speaking, it was quiet at first, and the little wine spirit was very worried, but after a short period of calm, all the villagers, the little wine spirit and the workers all broke out with a warm response, they praised again and again, and the brave little wine spirit finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It settled itself down and walked to the very middle of the crowd. Although it is small, it is very tall compared to the factory director who blindly pursues his own power and succumbs to the wicked.
After loudly announcing its vow that it would never betray the distillery, it danced, followed by the other wine spirits and ghost folk, apparently as their special way of celebrating.
We laughed at each other and quietly left the people, and Red Flame saw me from afar, happily spreading joy on the spot.
When I looked back at the brewery, I saw that everyone was waving at us, as if to thank us, and I waved at them and went on my way. Winter pond rowing.
By the time we passed by the farm where we had lived, it was already dark, and I saw that the old man was still busy in the fields, and I wanted to go and say goodbye to him.
When I got behind him, I wanted to pat him on the back, but when my hand reached out, it felt empty and I didn't touch anything!
The old man is dead?
He looked back at me with an embarrassed expression, "Oh, my old man misunderstood you before, and I have been awkward in my heart, and I want to apologize in person, but now I finally see you." ”
I didn't know what to say, it seemed that he didn't know he was dead, I smiled at him, told him it was okay, and said goodbye.
I hope that the old man and other villagers who don't know that they are dead can continue to be confused like this and not be disturbed, so that at least they can continue to exist.
It reminds me of the ghost town we went to after Snow Maiden was injured, and their situation is the same as that of the old man, and I think there must be some kind of connection between them, and these are all related to the conspiracy brewing in the demon world.
Along the way, I noticed that Yujie had been quiet, and I remembered her strange expression in the fermentation room.
"Don't you have something to say to me?" I whispered over to her and asked in a low voice.
Yujie lowered her head and stopped, I saw that she was hesitant, so I let the others go first.
When there were only the two of us left, Yujie was willing to speak, "I want to say, I can't go down with you."
"Why? Where are you going? "I was shocked when I heard it, although I didn't trust Yujie in the past, and I didn't like her to have so many thoughts, but after getting along for a long time, I naturally had a kind of friendship responsibility for her, and I couldn't think of where she could go after leaving us.
"Do you remember anything about the factory director?"
I said of course I do, but what does it have to do with her leaving us!
"The director said at the time that he had been knocked unconscious, and he woke up when he heard the movement, and if it was normal, he would have thought that we who were smashing the barrel were the ones who attacked him, wouldn't he? But not only that, he also showed a very friendly appearance, if I was careful enough, I could find that the factory director had a problem, but I was careless! ”
"It's not your fault! Even the little wine spirits didn't see it, you could suspect that it might be a disguise technique, I think it's already very powerful, is it because of this, are you going to leave us? ”
Yujie shook her head, and then suddenly looked at me with an extremely complicated look, what was this girl thinking?
"Four Tigers, in fact, I found that since I came to the Demon Realm with you, the longer we get along, the greater your influence on me, the abnormalities that I can clearly perceive, the situations that can be analyzed, many of them can't now." Speaking of which, I saw something twinkle in her eyes, and my heart tugged.
"Four Tigers, I've become sluggish because I'm with you."
She showed a frustrated expression, paused and continued to say to me, "I once asked you to help me come down to save people, but now I realize how selfish I was in the beginning, I am a mortal, I have such a little ability, but now I can't play it, I will only drag you down if I continue to walk with you." ”
"How can you think that? Haven't you noticed many times that it was because of your cleverness that you saved everyone? I need your help too. We all have people to save, and I understand your feelings. I don't care about the things that happen in the world anymore, I've seen it after so much. ”
"Do you really think so?"
"Of course! Why should I lie to you, and say that you left us, where can you go? Do you want to fulfill your wishes! I patted her on the shoulder and looked at her seriously, "So, stop talking like that, let's go, everyone is still waiting for us." ”
