Chapter 45: The Aftermath
Looking at Gai Valen, who had lost signs of life, the black light that occupied Jiang Heng's entire pupil slowly faded, like water, flowing down his body and disappearing into the shadows.
Jiang Heng instantly felt that his feet were soft, and he was a little unsteady on his feet, and Gai Valen's body lay quietly in front of him, leaving with a last smile.
"In a way, you've taught me a lesson. He murmured softly.
At this moment, Gavalen's shadow seemed to become a swamp again, and his body sank little by little, deeper into the shadow, as if something was dragging him down again.
"Leave his body behind. Seeing this scene, Jiang Heng just said a bland sentence, and stopped that action.
The presence in the shadow hesitated for a moment, and Gavaren's body began to rise, returning to the ground.
The "ink" flowed down the ground to Jiang Heng's shadow, "Don't worry, I can bear this kind of scene a little bit now, not to mention, I have to leave some evidence." ”
Jiang Heng said softly, as if responding to the comfort and worry from the shadows. Ignoring the surrounding corpses.
Looking at the pile of specimens and data piled up in the corner, Jiang Heng shook his head and decided to leave everything here, "If the person sent by the city lord is smart enough, he knows what to do." ”
After tidying up the tattered clothes on his body a little, Jiang Heng pulled up his feet and walked slowly towards the entrance of the cave. However, every step taken seems to require a huge effort.
"I, I, is this not okay?" gritted his teeth and struggled forward, the pain from his heart intensified with each step forward.
"Ink" was close to Jiang Heng's feet, and two slender black arms grew out of the ground and supported Jiang Heng.
"Don't worry, I can still hold on. That's what he said, but his body was completely slumped on both hands, "Okay, I really still have to rely on you, Xiaoyu." ”
With the support of the two hands that seemed a little terrifying to others, Jiang Heng slowly walked in the direction of Xia Er Town......
"Sister Ika, did you see it? See?" Lottie stared at the sky for a long time and couldn't come back to her senses, and asked Iga next to her in a daze.
"Alright, alright, I see it. Please, don't keep asking and stabbing me again, okay. Iga unceremoniously knocked Lottie's outstretched hand.
"What was that just now? Could it be that Chief Mo did it?" Lottie, whose hand was hurting, instantly came back to her senses and asked in surprise.
"I, this, doesn't look like it, Akabane...... It shouldn't be that strong. Remembering the huge pillar of light that had just illuminated the entire night sky, Bero now had palpitations.
"And that move looks like a fire-type or light-type combat skill, but as far as I know, Chief Mo is an ice-type one. Iga thought for a moment and echoed Bello.
"Could that be some kind of powerful martial arts ......" "After the medicine is collected, send it to me." The words that were not loud, but just enough for the three of them to hear, interrupted Lottie's conjecture. So the three of them hurriedly held the medicine basket and walked into the back room of the chapel.
The three of them walked into the back room, the back room is not big, a small hardboard bed, it occupies a quarter of the size of the room, in line with the local style, without too much decoration of the bluestone wall, a small lamp hanging on the bedside, an ordinary wooden cabinet, some fruits and vegetables in the corner, on which is a four-grid wooden window, through which you can clearly see the medicine garden and vegetable garden behind the church. That's all there is to this back room.
Sitting on a small bench, Pastor Eli was wiping his medicine mill, when he saw the three of them walk in, pointing to the small medicine knife next to him that had been wiped clean, "Use them, cut all the herbs into half finger lengths, cut off the roots and whiskers, and put them on the other side, I will use them later." ”
So, the three of them squatted in front of Eli and began to process the medicinal herbs, and seeing Eli's ancient face, Lottie couldn't help but ask, "Pastor Eli, did you see the huge pillar of light on the mountain just now, it is particularly bright, you should also be able to see it here." As he spoke, he glanced at the small wooden window.
"Nope. With no explanation or intention of explaining the reason, Lottie had no choice but to give up, but soon she had a new question, "Well, Reverend Eli, did you just run out of medicine for those Inhumans?
The movement on his hand paused slightly, as if it had been wiped clean, put down the medicine mill, and picked up another medicine stick, "The wound medicine is still a little, not enough, and it will be needed again soon." ”
"Hmm, what does it mean to need it right away?" all three of them asked question marks at the same time.
Just as Lottie was about to ask for more details, she was interrupted by an urgent knock on the door. "Excuse me, anyone?"
Lottie felt a little broken inside, as if she had been unable to finish her words lately, and got up to open the door, "Hey, that voice just now seems a little familiar." ”......
When looking at the huge pillar of light falling from the sky, a large number of Inhumans were lying on the ground, constantly kneeling down, as if worshipping the gods they believed in. Although the scene in front of him is indeed quite like a heavenly punishment.
While the others all looked at the continuous pillars of light in surprise, but there were two people who had some other emotions in their eyes besides surprise.
A golden feather slowly fell, and he effortlessly reached out and caught it, watching it slowly turn into particles in his hand, dissipate, and then clench suddenly.
Seeing that the others didn't pay attention to this for the time being, Ah Han, who was holding Mo, quietly stretched his mouth to Mo's ear, "Brother Mo, this seems to be ......"
Mo's eyes were solemn, "The strength of the family guard." ”
Looking at the golden particles, overflowing from the gaps in his fists, Mo lowered his head and did not speak again, as if thinking about something.
"Look there!" cried out a sheriff, and as the crowd looked in the direction it had indicated, several huge pillars of light smashed into the base they had just escaped, and the top of the hill burst open, and the rumbling sound was accompanied by a rolling wave of dust, and the tremors were so loud that even some people could not stand still.
"This is the power of God!" "This is God's punishment!" "It is God's punishment for those disobedient monsters!" ......
The surrounding Inhumans were in chaos in an instant, but fortunately, it didn't cause any turmoil, and most of them showed expressions of madness and joy on their faces, which can be regarded as calming the fear just now.
Affected by the surrounding sounds, Mo came back to his senses and said to everyone, "There is a town of our Terran near here, and the signal flare just now showed us the direction, let's go there first, and then make plans." ”
So, under the leadership of Mo, hundreds of people walked in the direction of launching the signal flare.
So there is this next scene.
"You are mainly due to long-term malnutrition and overwork, muscle strains and some other minor problems, I will give you some medicine, just take a look, and then supplement nutrition, rest for a period of time to recover. ”
"You were bruised? At least three days ago, the wound was not treated in time, it was all suppurated, bear with it, I will remove it for you." ”
"You put it down for me! It's not for you all to put it down, that one over there, that one under the tree! The fruit picked by others is fine, and the one you took is my medicine!"
"Lottie, go and see if Iga porridge is ready. Belo I told him to go to town and get something ready. ”......
Mo sat under a tree in the open space in front of the church, looked at Eli who was constantly shuttling back and forth in the crowd, and said to Yijia who was boiling porridge beside him with some interest, "I didn't expect that there was a church of the Temple of Light here, although it was a little cold." When I saw your pastor's face, I thought he was a very serious person, but I didn't expect to be so friendly. ”
Holding a big stick, constantly rolling the fruit and rice porridge in the iron pot to prevent the bottom from being mushy, Yi Jia was a little crying and laughing, "Pastor Eli is only very patient with the sick or injured, and he usually has a straight face to us, and he cherishes words like gold, I think he is almost finished with a few years of words today." ”
Hearing this, Mo became even more interested, and turned his head to look at Yi Jia, "You're the sheriff of Shire Town, right?
Yi Jia laughed instantly, and the porridge she stirred was about to fly, "It's not just me, there's another stupid guy named Bello." We were supposed to investigate the dynamics of the surrounding monsters, but we accidentally found a suspicious person, followed up and investigated, and then discovered the big conspiracy. ”
"Well, how did you know we were coming?"
"I'll tell you, both of us were about to get into enemy management. ”......
His feet were as heavy as lead, and his stomach was so sick that Jiang Heng suddenly pushed away the black hands that supported him, ran under a tree, and vomited.
It was uncomfortable, very uncomfortable, I don't know why, my head was dizzy, my stomach was rolling, I wanted to vomit everything I had eaten, and even tears came out.
Even though he had nothing on his hands, he felt like he was stained with blood, he could smell the smell of fish when his clothes were nothing but torn, and he felt like the sword had passed through him, even though he had killed only the wicked.
Spit pale, fingers weak, the cloud of ink just sat there and watched.
Finally, it was almost there, I felt a little more comfortable, I took a few deep breaths, raised my head slightly, and just saw a handkerchief handed over.
He smiled and reached out to take it, not looking up any further, "Thank you, Mesha." ”
Mei Sha withdrew her hand and watched Jiang Heng wipe her tears with a handkerchief, and felt sad in her heart, "Young master, next time, let me do this kind of thing." ”
"Thank you for your kindness, but I can only take it personally. He tried to speak in the usual relaxed tone, but his voice trembled uncontrollably.
sighed, "Young Master, you are not born to be such a person, you value life more than everyone around you, no matter who you are dealing with, as long as the other party has their own thoughts and wisdom, you are like this." ”
Jiang Heng stopped and didn't speak, and Meisha also stopped and didn't continue.
And just like that, after a while.
"I like this character of you, young master, but in this world, you don't need this kind of character, but I want you to keep yourself, young master, so, this kind of thing, let me do it in the future." "It's bland, it's calm, every word is audible.
"But," Jiang Heng slowly took the handkerchief from his mouth and put it in his hand, "I also hope that Meisha can always keep the way she looks in front of me." ”
In an instant, Meisha's face turned red, and the whole person quickly turned around.
"I haven't seen it, but I don't want to see Mesa do something like this, and besides, as you said, in this world, it's not okay not to do this, and I have to adapt to it. The same bland and calm tone, even a little weak, but it contained such determination.
Ink, hovering at the feet of the two, seemed to be puzzled by their conversation.
Meisha dragged the leaves of the tree next to her for a long time, and finally pulled them off, without looking back, and walked forward, and the usual laughter came, "Forget it, I don't care about you this kind of thing." Anyway, when you do that kind of thing, Qi Ye and Xiao You can help you stabilize your emotions, just the two of them, what else am I worried about. ”
Jiang Heng looked at Meisha's back and couldn't help laughing, but suddenly, he remembered something, "Wait a minute, where are we going now?"
Meisha looked back, "Back to Shire, of course." ”
"Wait," Jiang Heng hurriedly made a pause gesture, "We'd better discuss the development of the plot first." ”
