Chapter 30: Antecedents and Consequences
When he woke up again, he found himself lying on a shabby folding bed. A choking stench all around him almost made him faint again. Mo Zhitian endured the pungent smell and got up from the bed. He looked intently and saw that it was a simple shack. The shack was dirty and messy, and there were some daily necessities scattered around the bed of this folding bed. In the middle of the shack was a small homemade stove with a rusty kettle bubbling hot.
Here are two people who walked in from outside the shack without waiting for Mo Zhitian to think about it. It was Xiao Xiao who walked in front, and the tall man in the back also knew him, it was Lakshen from the original village.
As soon as Xiao Xiao saw Mo Feitian sitting on the bed, she immediately pounced: "Brother Mo, are you awake?" You've been in a coma for three days, but it freaks me out. ”
"Me? Unconscious for three days? What the hell is going on, girl? Mo was confused. The impression of Zuihou in his memory is that guardian stone. The strange light, the sudden collapse, and the chill I felt when I was holding it in my hands.
"I don't know. It was Lakshin who saved us, so you should ask him. Xiao Xiao replied.
Mo had no choice but to ask Lakshen behind Xiao Xiao again. This Mongolian young man is not good at talking, but he finally explained the whole thing.
It turned out that since Xiao Xiao left alone, Lakshen had been inquiring about her. However, due to the Mo Dang Tian incident, martial law was imposed throughout the country. In particular, in the capital, there are people in the city to conduct an inventory day and night. When Lakshin found the capital based on the clues found, the local government issued a more draconian policy: non-local residents were strictly prohibited from entering and leaving the capital during official government hours. Lakshin's search for the missing person has been greatly curtailed.
There was no way, so Lakshin could only scout around the city every day, hoping to get useful information. It's a pity that no matter how hard he tries, he can't find Xiao Xiao, and he doesn't even have any news at all. But Laxin did not give up, and he found a secluded place on the outskirts of Seris, where he set up a shack to live in. He felt that Xiao Xiao should still be in Seris, and as long as he continued to stay here, there would be hope to find her.
Three mornings earlier, Rakesh had gone to a nearby dump to pick up some necessities. As soon as he walked in, he felt the earth tremble. Then he saw a black fog gradually enveloping the center of the garbage dump. This black fog is menacing and will soon engulf the entire garbage dump. Sensing the impending danger, Rakesh immediately put the long knife he carried with him in his hand in case of an attacker. The black mist had reached his knees in seconds. Lakshin only felt a suffocating smell in the black mist. It seemed to have the effect of anesthetizing human nerves, and Rakshen immediately spun around after inhaling the gas from the black mist. His limbs lost their intuition, and his five senses gradually lost their function. At this moment, this black fog retreated inexplicably.
After all, Lakshen is tall and has excellent physical fitness, and he has recovered after a short period of discomfort. He looked up and found that the strange black fog just now was already nowhere to be seen. And in the middle of the dump, where the black fog appeared, there were two more people for no apparent reason. Both men lay motionless as if they were dead. Lakshen walked over and took a look, and was immediately overjoyed, weren't the two people lying down Xiao Xiao and Mo Yantian? Rakshen didn't think much about carrying these two people directly on his back and returned to the shack where he lived temporarily.
Xiao Xiao woke up from a coma the next day, but Mo Beitian kept falling asleep. Rakshen examined it carefully and found that Mo Beitian did not have any external injuries on his body, and it seemed that there must be some other reason that caused him to be unconscious. Lakshin is not a professional doctor, and there is no way to conduct a more thorough examination, so he can only use the soil method to boil some decoction and pour it into Mo Beitian to drink, hoping that it will have some effect on him. He had been doing this for three days, and until just now he had gone to the mound next to him with Xiao Xiao to pick some herbs and prepare to come back to decoct the medicine for him.
That's how it all went. Although Mo Yitian still had some doubts in his heart, he knew that if he asked Lakshen again, it was estimated that there would be no result. It's better to wait until your body has fully recovered before you plan for these problems.
Thinking of this, Mo Yitian shifted his gaze to Xiao Xiao, he looked at the somewhat emaciated girl and said, "It's really hard for you and Lakshen these days." You two are busy for me."
Mo Beitian wanted to continue, but Xiao Xiao stopped Mo Beitian with her fingers: "Brother Mo, you don't need to say it." I understand your intentions, we have been looking at you who have been lying in bed for the past few days, and you are indeed very anxious. But now it's okay, just wake up! We're not tired, we're busy with big and small things, and there's a stupid grandpa to help us! ”
"Silly grandpa? Who is Silly Grandpa? "Don't ask against the sky.
"Oh, I met the second brother on the road. He kept saying that he lost his daughter, and he was a little stupid, but he was a good person, and he was taking care of you when we both went to collect medicine. He must have gone fishing at this time, right? There's a little river around here, and he'll always go there to catch some fish and come back and make you fish soup to drink. Xiao Xiao explained.
Seeing Xiao Xiao say this, Rakshen also said, "Yes, that old man is indeed very good. In the beginning, he was crazy and dressed in tattered clothes, and his face was covered in beard and dirty mud. He and I walked down the street, and there were always people watching us. I was afraid that we would arouse suspicion if we were too high-profile, so I shaved him and changed his clothes. Not to mention, he really looks like a literate person when he simply cleans up. Although he sometimes got sick for so many days, it didn't cause any trouble, and I saw that he was pitiful and simply took him with me. ”
"I see. When I was in New Alexandria, I also saw old people wandering. I didn't expect that what the republic has been flaunting is so hypocritical in reality. If everyone were good and loving, I don't think there would be any homeless old people. Mo said with emotion.
Xiao Xiao nodded and agreed: "Yes, stupid grandpa, he is really pitiful, if only there were more good people on this shijie." I still don't know what his name is, he always talks about his daughter, it seems that he really loves her, and I don't know what happened to his daughter, alas! ”
Lakshen patted Xiao Xiao's back with his big hand and comforted: "There are some things that there is no way to do. Forget it, let's not be sad, the stupid grandpa is coming back, if he hears what you say, he will probably get sick again. ”
As he spoke, he heard the sound of small footsteps outside, followed by the curtain of the shack, and an old man with a withered face walked in. He slowly put down the fishing rod in his hand and said with a smile: "Daughter, I'm back!" Daddy caught you a big fat fish, hahahaha! ”
When Mo Yitian saw the old man almost fall off the bed, he grew up and couldn't say half a word for a long time.
