Volume 2: The Loose World Chapter 159: Re-examination (61) Birth, Old Age, Sickness and Death
When it comes to substance, there is no difference between being a witch and being a man, but the witch thinks more, nothing more than three words, weighing, trade-offs, gains and losses.
For example, the pioneer team once met a small tribe in the wilderness, unable to find water or prey for half a month...... Survived on human blood.
For example, in the mire of Daze, the team encountered the forest python, and was defeated, the forest worm chased after him, and it was difficult to travel with the wounded, and the wounded were left behind to "break the back", and the rest took the opportunity to flee and were able to escape.
Another example, how to make the mountain soil and rocks of the mountain tribe, as well as the Lin Tuo of the forest tribe, make them "enlightened", make them willing to surrender and be loyal to the wood tribe, and the operation methods must not be known to outsiders.
Hearing this, Lin Lin was both scared and excited, these questions were naturally enthusiastic to her, but she didn't dare to listen to them more, although she didn't know what "you know too much" was, she faintly felt a little frightened.
The more she listened, the more bad it seemed to be, and Mu Wu's kind smile always made her shudder, and the ghost knew what he was thinking, whether he would take her with him on the road when he returned to the jungle.
In fact, Mu Wu didn't think too much, he just felt that some things had been held in his heart for too long, and he didn't feel like it, he wanted to find someone to share, he wanted to talk to someone, and he used her as a radio, that's all.
As for the end, whether to take the radio away or not depends on his mood. Lin Lin didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't dare to interject rashly, reducing his sense of existence, but when he heard Lin Tuo, he couldn't help but ask.
"Magic Fruit? What is it? Is it similar to the Magic Fruit?" what does it do?" Lin Lin asked cautiously, subconsciously looking into his arms.
Mu Wu glanced at her and smiled lightly: "It's somewhat similar, but the objects are different, the magic fruit can only be used by wild beasts, and the magic fruit is for people, and it can make people drunk and dream of death." ”
"Isn't that similar to wine!" Lin Lin exclaimed, faintly feeling afraid, thinking of the half bottle of rice wine hidden in the house, his face turned pale with fright.
"Oh! It's almost the same, it's different, wine can wake up, but magic fruit can't. Seeing that she was about to move, Mu Wu suddenly sneered: "This thing is not good, it harms others and myself, I will take it to the grave." ”
Lin Lin's eyes instantly darkened, and he said weakly: "The person who eats the magic fruit is still the original person?"
"He's still him, but his heart is magnified, his desires are more prominent, he becomes more controllable, and he overlaps his desires with the wood tribe and turns them into unshakable loyalty. Mu Wu quietly explained the principle of the magic fruit.
"Oh!" Lin Lin stopped talking.
"The magic fruit has a strong effect, and when you first use it, it is inevitable that it will be a little stiff and abnormal. Mu Wu knew what he wanted to ask, and disagreed: "With the increase in strength and will, it will gradually return to normal." ”
In contrast, Tuo is much more normal, the earth and stone, stiff as wood all day long, also because of the strength gap, the stronger the strength, the more emotions are unsealed, but the shackles on the soul will not be eliminated.
The shackles are the wood tribe, the stronger they are, the more loyal they are to the wood tribe, and eventually form shackles, the wood witch knows the truth, so they are not worried, they have no way to get rid of the wood tribe.
Without speaking again, Lin Lin's eyebrows narrowed slightly, and he fell silent, hiding his thoughts.
......
In the growing season, everything recovers, the ice and snow make the solution, the grass is vigorous, the flowers are in full bloom, the competition is gorgeous, the surroundings of the small courtyard are especially wonderful, the roses are hot and enthusiastic, the peony is fragrant, the begonia is fragrant and beautiful, and the peach blossoms are bright and splendid......
In the early spring, the climate is still cold, and it is not suitable to go out, but the spring is really charming, Mu Wu can't bear to watch, Lin Lin can't resist him, put on a big coat for him, put on gloves and velvet boots, push a wheelchair, and walk out of the yard.
Butterflies flutter, bees buzz, scramble for fresh nectar, look at the bright flowers, smell the seductive fragrance, walk among the flowers, do not speak, appreciate the beauty in the tranquility.
"Lin Hua thanked Chunhong, too hurried, helpless to come to the cold rain, late wind, rouge tears, drunk each other, when is it heavy?
In the summer season, the grass and trees are luxuriant, the sun is blazing, the jungle is full of vitality, the mulberry forest is green and oily, the bunches of mulberry fruits are fat and purple, sweet and greasy, Mu Wu is tired of eating a few pieces, but Lin Lin is very happy to eat.
The reeds in the big lake ripple slightly, the lotus leaves cover the pond, the lotus flowers in full bloom are dotted among the green leaves, the woman lifts the trouser legs, wades into the shallows barefoot, picks the lotus flowers and lotus canopies, and picks the fresh lotus leaves to make tea.
The boat broke the lotus leaves, the old man lay leisurely on it, looking at the green rice field lotus pond, listening to the accompaniment of cicadas and frogs, eating cool watermelon, the girl waded gently and returned, and put the lotus leaves on his head.
"The little baby supported the boat, secretly picked the white lotus, and did not understand the traces, and the duckweed opened together. The woman sat on the side of the boat, her feet swaying and splashing, breaking the lotus canopy and eating lotus seeds, not understanding his leisure and elegance, but smiling at him.
In the dry season, the plants withered, the fields were golden, and the bleak autumn wind brought coolness, the wind was full of fruity and rice fragrance, and also blew off the swaying dead leaves, and fell to the ground, making a thick carpet, soft and comfortable.
The fruits are abundant, and when they are picked, the rice and wheat fields are full of golden light, heavy seeds, bending the poles, the plants bow their heads, kissing the earth, and the fruit grove behind the yard is also full of harvest.
Golden mangoes, snow-white pears, plump oranges, plump apricots, verdant lemons, seeded pomegranates, hearty grapes...... Lin Lin moved home with a full basket and made fruit wine and fructose by herself.
And the fun of the wood witch is the chrysanthemums that bloom outside the courtyard, and the appreciation, wine, and tea are all of the highest quality: "After the east fence puts the wine at dusk, there is a dark fragrance in the sleeves." Mo Dao is not ecstatic, the curtain is swept by the west wind, and people are thinner than yellow flowers. ”
In the cold season, the weather is freezing, the snow is falling, the snowflakes are fluttering all over the sky, and in the bare woods, except for the white snow, there is not the slightest variety, the animals are nowhere to be found, and even the clansmen have returned home early.
There are only a few plum blossoms, standing in the snow and cold, silently opening alone, not afraid of the cold, and becoming more and more tenacious. Standing at the door, you can still see the mountain in the distance, and the totem trees that are still flourishing are a rare spectacle.
The corner of the eaves is hung with wind chimes made of ice edges, and there are several big snowmen piled up in the courtyard, Mu Ling and Lin Lin, wearing thick fur, playing snowball fights in the snow, having fun, coming and going, very cheerful.
It wasn't until their hands and faces were red from the cold that they were willing to stop each other, warm up around the stove, and taste the freshly heated freshly brewed rice wine: "Green ant new brewed wine, red mud small stove, can you drink a glass of snow in the evening?"
The wood witch lying on the chair with an animal skin blanket on the side suddenly opened his eyes, humming and groaning like this, Mu Ling frowned, she knew all the words, but she could connect them, why didn't she understand?
Just as he was thinking about asking out loud, Lin Lin, who was sitting next to him, poured a glass of rice wine and handed it to him, Mu Wu smiled, reached out and took the wine glass, drank the warm rice wine, and looked at the falling snow outside the window.
......
In the peaceful spring, digging new bamboo shoots, stealing honey from wild bees, picking fresh jasmine, next to the peach blossom tree on a sunny day, the two drank jasmine honey tea, played chess, sometimes regretted chess, sometimes quarreled.
In the hot summer, picking ripe watermelons, catching noisy knowledge, fighting annoying mosquitoes, in the corner of the rainy pavilion, the two drank lotus leaf tea, did not speak, and listened to the sound of rain and falling leaves outside the curtain.
In the cool golden autumn, picking the blooming chrysanthemums, picking the fruitful fruits, watching the wild geese flying south, in the middle of the night when the moon is full, the two drink chrysanthemum wine, eat round moon cakes, and watch the bright moon.
In the cold winter, making wind chimes for ice sculptures, cutting beautiful colored paper, writing festive couplets, in the snowy inner house stove room, the two of them cooked winter melon bacon soup, some said that the salt was too much, and some said that the sugar was too much.
Day after day, year after year, day and night, the friendship gradually warmed up, something was quietly calling, unconsciously, the two had a tacit understanding, and they could understand each other's meaning without words.
However, the flowers are similar every year, the people are different every year, the wood witch is getting older and older, but Lin Lin is young and lively, the two of them have their own concerns in their hearts, and no one took the lead in opening their mouths, rashly piercing the window paper.
What I like is not people, what I like is life, what I like is companionship, such a leisurely and leisurely day, this kind of heart-warming companionship, some words, said openly, it doesn't end well, there is nothing.
Time did not notice in the slightest, it has been three years, the development of the tribe is stable as usual, the wood spirit is coming less and less, and is quickly getting familiar with affairs, growth is a good thing to be happy about, and the wood witch is also very pleased.
In 124, Lin Tuo went out of the pass, successfully broke through the middle stage, and his strength made a leap, originally, the wooden body, and the defensive ability were far inferior to the bronze, but after he was promoted, he could match Jue by defense alone.
The number of the Muhua army has also increased from three hundred to one thousand, the Lin clan can't be without a master for a long time, Lin Tuo is ready to return to Lin Gu to replace Yu, and at the same time, he also invited Lin Lin to go back with him.
If she doesn't mention it, she may forget that she is still Lin Wu, such a day is too leisurely, making people forget about the world, she is reluctant, but the clan is her weakness, she can't let it go.
locked herself in the room, thought about it for three days and three nights, she still couldn't let go, she couldn't bear to leave the old wooden witch, and only let Lin Zhen go back to help, Lin Zhen is a witch disciple of the Lin clan, and he has healing abilities.
Lin Tuo left with Lin Zhen, and his life returned to normal, but Mu Wu was getting older and older, his health was getting worse and worse, and he was declining at a speed visible to the naked eye every day, and he couldn't walk anymore, and he couldn't speak clearly.
Finally, in 125, it completely broke out, and the second catastrophe came, and he lay on the couch, his eyes fixed on the roof, his body twitched, his eyes scattered, and the green tendons under his thin skin burst out.
Even if she tried her best, Lin Lin was helpless, seeing that his life breath was getting lower and lower, she panicked, her face was pale, and she couldn't find a way, so she could only leave the attic and quickly found Mu Ling.
The high-level people who were holding the meeting were originally very dissatisfied with her intrusion, and when they heard that the old witch's situation was critical, they also changed their faces one after another, and hurriedly gathered people, Yizheng and Wu disciples, and all rushed to Xiaolou.
Everyone joined forces to help, Mu Ling, Lin Lin, and several witch disciples frantically instilled healing abilities, but the abilities leaked out from the seven orifices, sealing his seven orifices, and releasing them from the pores around his body, which was of no use at all.
Seeing his life passing, no one had anything to do, Lin Lin burst into tears, her face was full of tears, she grabbed his thin palm, buried her head and cried, sad, remorseful, reluctant, and fearful...... Mixed tastes.
"Don't ...... Don't cry...... "The other thin palm rested on her head, and the Wood Witch returned to the light, revealing a weak smile, no longer staring at the ceiling, but at her, trembling and comforting.
"People...... Each person has ...... There is life, life and death...... Die...... Unusual. He was powerless to be relieved, Lin Lin couldn't hold back any longer, tears burst out of his eyes, grabbed his hand, and cried: "You don't want to die! I don't want you to go!"
"I'm ...... Try to ...... He ...... at her closely, touched her face, and suddenly had the motivation to die again, but before he finished speaking, his body suddenly straightened, his eyes were wide open, and his arms hung down weakly.
Lin Lin's eyes widened, her eyes were red, and everyone around her couldn't cry......
