Chapter 2: Death and the Heart of Protection
Cold, numb, suffocating, dark all around. It was as if his eyes were wrapped in something and he couldn't open them.
"Is this hell, it's not the same as I imagined. Ou Feiyu muttered to himself.
"Then what the hell am I now, a ghost?" Ou Feiyu wanted to move his body, but found that he couldn't sense the presence of the rest of his body, as if he only had one brain left.
Suddenly, some voices came from the darkness.
"Feiyu, wake up, don't sleep!"
"Feiyu, you must wake up!"
"Silly Feather, wake me up the......!"
"Brother, don't die, don't leave Yixuan alone, wake up!"
There were more and more calls, and Ou Feiyu also felt that his strength was getting bigger and bigger, and when he heard his sister's words, his strength finally broke through the critical point. The shackles in front of him were untied, and Ou Feiyu suddenly opened his eyes!
Light, the whole world is a blinding light, and the previous darkness is two extremes! Gradually, the light becomes softer.
In front of Ou Feiyu, there were faces full of anxiety.
"Brother, you've finally woken up, you're scared to death!Woo..." Ou Yixuan hugged Ou Feiyu, and the tears in her eyes kept flowing.
"Girl, I'm sorry for worrying you, okay, don't cry, I'm fine?" Ou Feiyu gently patted his sister's back and comforted. After a long time, Ou Yixuan stopped crying.
The villagers who were surrounding were also relieved to see that Ou Feiyu was fine. At this time, a young man about the same age as Ou Feiyu walked out of the crowd and lightly punched Ou Feiyu. He has short brown hair, upright features, and slightly green pupils, giving people a cunning feeling. There is a little freckle on the ordinary face.
"Silly Yu, I just went to my aunt's house, and you did such a show, you want to scare me to death?!"
"Gallo, are you back?" Gallo was Ou Feiyu's best friend, and his parents died when he was a child. But Garlo also has an aunt who loves him and lives in the town.
"What the hell did you encounter, why did you look like this, and why did you faint here?"
Ou Feiyu found that his upper body was not clothed, and he didn't know who covered him with a linen shirt. His head was still a little drowsy, Ou Feiyu thought about it carefully, but he always felt that his memory was not so clear.
"By the way, I seem to have met a stone wolf here! I had a fight with it, and then I fainted somehow, everyone be careful, it may still be nearby!" Ou Feiyu looked around, but there was no trace of the stone wolf. But he looked at the ground in the distance, which was covered with blackened and coagulated blood, and some minced flesh. Seeing those minced meats, Ou Feiyu had a strange feeling.
"Stone wolf? You still have a fight with it? You didn't wake up, if you really touched the stone wolf, you can still be here in the whole place? Garlo was sarcastic.
"Ka Luo, what are you talking about!" Ou Yixuan glared at him.
"I'm kidding. I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Garlo stuck out his tongue in embarrassment.
"I don't remember exactly, but it always felt very unreal. It's really like a dream. By the way, leave me alone for now, what is the [Mutant] that attacked the village this time?" Ou Feiyu shook his head and asked.
"Is it a megajawed ant, or a queen. "The giant jaw poisonous ant, a first-class [mutant variant], is only two to three times the size of a normal ant, has venom, and is not very toxic. However, the queen of the giant jaw ant can reach the level of a second-level [mutant], and its body size can grow to the size of an adult man, and its toxicity will increase exponentially, and it is not as slow as an ordinary queen ant.
"What about Grandpa Mance, how are they?" asked Ou Feiyu.
All the villagers fell silent and bowed their heads.
"When Grandpa Mance was driving away poisonous ants, he was poisoned by poisonous ants and passed away..."Ou Yixuan whispered.
"No, grandpa won't die, where is he, I want to see him!"
"Go back to the village, Grandpa Mance's body is already in the village. Gallo wept.
Back in the village, Ou Feiyu didn't even wear clothes, and ran directly to the chapel. Mance's body lay on the altar of the church, surrounded by flowers, and the only thing he was thankful was that Mance had a serene expression.
"Grandpa Mance... Are you really leaving us like this?" Ou Feiyu fell to his knees, tears rolling down his face.
"Silly old man, don't sleep, get up and scold me, today I let you win me... Make fun of me, I'm a twelve-year-old cub who still wets the bed..."Les also knelt beside Mance, the man who usually didn't walk properly, and was crying all the way at this time.
"Alright, let's say goodbye to the village chief at last," said the only priest in the village. One by one, the villagers said goodbye to Mance, and in the face of this kind and humorous village chief, every villager sent their most sincere wishes to Mance.
Ou Yixuan and Galuo helped Ou Feiyu up, put a dress on him, and stood aside. The pastor began to pray:
"Mance Findor, the great chief of the village of Marg. You have dedicated your sweat and time to this village. Under your management, the villagers of Marg Village are united and kind. Life in the village is not rich, but it is comfortable. Now you've given your life for the village. Although your ** is far away from us, your soul is one step closer to God. With the blessings of the villagers, leave with peace of mind, God will bless you!
The passionate prayer continued, and gradually, in Ou Feiyu's ears, the voice changed, becoming distant and low.
"Heheha, is it painful? Helpless? Feel like you're incompetent, right?"
"It's sad to see someone close to you die. ”
"What will you do, what will you do next, hehehahahaha..."
"I'm going to be stronger! strong enough to protect the villagers in the village, to resist all the [mutants]," Ou Feiyu suddenly yelled.
"Brother, what's wrong with you. Ou Yixuan took her brother's hand and asked. Only then did Ou Feiyu realize that he had raised his hands up, as if he was roaring in the sky, and all the villagers around him looked at Ou Feiyu.
"Feiyu, now is the most solemn time, please be quiet. It's also a sign of respect for your Grandpa Mance. The pastor said.
"I'm sorry, Pastor Kote. I'll take notice. Ou Feiyu signaled that his sister was okay and stood up again, he felt that something was wrong with him, and he always did something inexplicable. But after thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't find anything wrong with my body, so I gave up.
After two hours, the prayer was finally over, and the next step was to wait for tomorrow's funeral. Walking out of the church, Ou Feiyu asked his sister to go home first, and he walked to the steps of the small mill by the river and sat down, looking at the sadness on the faces of the villagers.
"Hey, what are you doing sitting here?" said Gallo to Ou Feiyu's side and sat down.
"I'm wondering, what will happen next to the village?"
"What else can I do, continue to live, no accident, everyone will choose Uncle Rice as the next village chief. ”
"I know this, but how long can I live this life of constantly worrying about the attack of [mutants]? I don't want to lose the people around me one by one. Ou Feiyu looked at the sunset on the horizon and whispered.
"I don't want to live this kind of life either, I was also raised by the whole village, of course I want our village to be good. However, we did not have the money to build a strong wall, let alone ask for the protection of the army. Garlo sighed.
"Galuo, I have an idea, let's go join the army! If we can make a difference, we can help our village and keep everyone from being harmed by the mutants!" Ou Feiyu's face was full of hope for the future.
They say it's hard to join the army, and you can lose your life. Gallo worried.
"I'm not afraid, I'm sure I can persevere. I want to protect this village on behalf of Grandpa Mans!
"Well, we are brothers, of course we have to be together, and the two of us together are the best combination, we will be able to be safe and sound, and take down all the enemies! By the way, as long as we are successfully included in the army, there will be a bonus, as if there are five copper coins (1000 iron coins = 1 copper coin, 1000 copper coins = 1 silver coin, 1000 silver coins = 1 gold coin, 1000 gold coins = 1 diamond coin), and the two of us will have 10 copper coins together, so that the village can build a wall and no longer have to live a life of fear. ”
"Oh my God, 10 copper coins, I've never seen that much money in my life!" Ou Feiyu said excitedly.
"My aunt's town of Merr is on the conscription, let's go there. When Grandpa Mance's funeral is over, we'll go!"
"Well, let's protect the village together!"
"Come on!"
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the hands of the two teenagers were clasped tightly.
This agreement carries the friendship and responsibility of the two teenagers!
