Jiu: An abandoned village
After saying this, Chen Guang didn't care whether the big brother agreed or not, so he continued: "It's late today, I want to rest early, so that I can leave tomorrow morning, just sleep on the table between father and son, this big brother, you can also go back to the room to rest." ”
Chen Guang didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and even regarded this house as his own home, and issued an eviction order to Big Brother.
When the big brother heard these words, he didn't want to say anything more, so he had to get up and leave, but before going out, he glanced at Chen Guang, saw Chen Guang's resolute attitude, and then looked at Yi De, who was a little angry next to him, turned around and went out, falling into the fog.
It's just that although Chen Guang couldn't see where he was, there was a sigh and a faint thank you in his ears.
After the big brother left, Chen Guang got up and walked to the water tank, reached out and touched the temperature of the potion, which had become warm. Chen Guang glanced back at Yi De, who was still standing in place, and didn't know what to say. I had no choice but to shake my head, roll up my sleeves, and make a gesture to fish up the iron pillar from the potion by myself.
As soon as he started his hand, he realized that he had overestimated himself, although he had traveled all year round to collect medicine, and he was still very confident in terms of physical strength, but this was related to the work of strength, and as a pharmacist, he really didn't dare to compliment.
Just when he steadied his horse, took a few deep breaths, and counted down one, two, and three in his heart, he pulled hard before pulling the iron pillar up. After he took a few breaths, he realized that Yi De had been holding on to the iron pillar that had almost fallen since he had been holding on to it. Looking at his rolled up sleeves and splashed placket, Chen Guang thought that this kid should have helped when he pulled it up.
Thinking of this, the anger in his heart also disappeared a lot. So he quickly took the iron pillar from Yi De's hand, dried him and helped him to the bed, and then began to dress him.
After settling all this, Chen Guang turned around and found that Yi De had already fallen asleep on the table. He smiled, walked softly to the door, poked his head out and saw that it was still foggy outside, so he quietly closed the door, and then went back to sit next to Yi De, and as soon as he blew out the candle, there were thousands of sleepiness.
Chen Guang looked at the iron pillar in the darkness, and finally couldn't help but lie on the table, and before ten breaths arrived, he had already fallen asleep.
This night, Chen Guang had a dream, he dreamed that he was in a white mist, and there was the dark-skinned big brother standing in front of him.
Chen Guang in the dream approached him and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
But the big brother smiled and did not answer, just bowed deeply, and disappeared. During this period, his words echoed in the dream: "Actually, I also know about the beast outside." I don't know anything about this, so I can only find some rescuers for you, and as for my brother, I'll trouble Pharmacist Chen. ”
Early the next morning, Chen Guang woke up. He forced his eyes to yawn and stretch, and before he could fully sober up, he looked in the direction of Yide next to him, but the emptiness beside him made him more than half sober, and he jerked back to look at the bed, and the iron pillar was still lying peacefully on the bed, but the figure he wanted to see was not beside him.
Chen Guang chuckled in his heart, hurriedly stood up and walked to the door, thinking that Yi De would not return to the city for his father, so he opened the door and rushed out.
But as soon as he ran out, Chen Guang was stunned by the scene in front of him. He had thought that there was still a foggy village outside, but now it was very clear in front of his eyes, and the fog had dispersed.
Before he had time to wonder, Chen Guang found the small bridge where he got off the car, and he ran towards that road without saying a word, and the blood-red picture of Yide being dismembered by the demon beast began to appear in his mind.
As soon as he thought of this, he began to regret last night's conversation, he shouldn't have said it for Yi De to hear, and as he ran, he slapped himself violently, and the scorching pain could not stop his tears. So he quickened his pace, and was about to run to the small bridge when he suddenly heard a shout from the village behind him.
"Daddy!"
This shout stopped Chen Guang, and the familiar voice made him turn around subconsciously, and sure enough, his son was standing at the entrance of the village.
Chen Guang couldn't believe it, but he still turned around and walked towards Yide, at first he was a little cautious because he was wondering if it was a fantasy of a demon beast, but when he got to the back, he walked faster and faster, and even ran over.
When he arrived at Yi De's side, looking at his puffing expression, Chen Guang pinched Yi De's face, and Yi De, who was in pain, grinned and begged for mercy: "It hurts, it hurts!" Daddy, what are you doing! ”
Yi De struggled to shake off Chen Guang's pliers, took a few steps back and looked at Chen Guang with neurotic eyes, while not forgetting to rub his pinched flesh.
Yi De's reaction made Chen Guang confirm his inner thoughts, and after learning that this was indeed his own child, Chen Guang also breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked Yi De with a straight face: "What are you running out to do in the morning?" ”
"You are!" Yi De was a little inexplicable when he was asked, and a somewhat resentful expression appeared on his rubbing face: "Early in the morning, you don't leave without saying a word to me, and you run so fast, are you so afraid that I will follow?" ”
Chen Guang, who was asked a rhetorical question, couldn't speak for a while, and after listening to Yi De's question, looking at his appearance really made Chen Guang a little crying and laughing.
He forcibly squeezed out an embarrassed smile, reached out and rubbed it on Yi De's head, so that Yi De shrank his head and retreated again and again.
Chen Guang glanced at the village in front of him, and only then did he have time to think about why yesterday's fog had disappeared.
It should have seen Chen Guang's doubts, Yi De also looked back at the mud brick houses in front of him, and said in a flat tone: "Dad, this is an abandoned village." ”
When he first heard this sentence, Chen Guang didn't understand the meaning in it, and after a while, Chen Guang looked stunned and couldn't believe his ears: "What did you say?" ”
Yi De glanced at his father, then looked back at the houses, his voice was flat, and he couldn't hear any waves, and he said, "When I woke up in the morning, I wanted to go out to breathe, but I found that all the fog that was still in the air last night had dissipated. So I walked a few steps deeper into the village, but all I saw were mud huts with broken walls and broken door frames. At first I thought it was a mistake, but I walked through the whole village and didn't see a single figure. Until I heard the door open at the head of the village, and when I came to look, I saw you running out like a ghost. ”
Chen Guang listened as he approached and observed the houses at the same time, and sure enough, the houses in this village, except for the one where the iron pillar was recuperated, were all in ruins.
Suddenly, Chen Guang turned his head and looked at Yi De with a strange expression: "The one from last night, where is Tiezhu's brother?" ”
"Daddy." Yi De and Chen Guang glanced at each other, then shook their heads and said, "There is no figure." ”
As soon as these words came out, Chen Guang's heart set off a thousand huge waves. He was convinced that the big brother he had seen last night was not a hallucination, but when he woke up, he suddenly found that the village where he had stayed for the night was actually an abandoned village; The figure I saw faintly when I came yesterday, as well as the big brother who had been chatting all night, woke up the next day and was all gone. This thing was so weird that Chen Guang shivered when he didn't blow the wind.
At this time, Chen Guang remembered the dream last night, in which he said that the big brother had gone to move the rescuers and asked the father and son to take good care of the iron pillar.
Chen Guang thought, a little unbelievable, but with the current situation, he just doesn't believe it, and he can't do anything, if he goes back to the city alone to find someone, not to mention that Yi De and the two are simply the fast food of the demon beast, even if the demon beast doesn't come, whether Yi De can find food to survive two or three days while healing the iron pillar is a question, as for the rest, let alone think about it.
At this time, he could only believe that a miracle had happened, but there was really none, so he first cured the fracture of the iron pillar, and then found a way to remove him.
"Let's go, take me to see the houses."
"Not going back to the city?"
"If you go back now, at least one of them will die. Why don't you take a look at the situation first, maybe you don't have to go back? ”
With that, Chen Guang walked towards the gate of the village. After waiting for Yide, he began to follow the path that Yide had walked in the morning, and walked again.
As Yide said, the village has been abandoned, and it has been at least ten years, otherwise the houses would not have collapsed so badly. At first, Chen Guang thought it was man-made, but after walking from the head of the village to the end of the village, he felt that after the villagers moved out, these houses collapsed and fell into dilapidation because they had been exposed to wind and rain for a long time and could not be repaired.
Walking to the end of the village, Chen Guang suddenly found that a certain location was out of place with other places. So he strode over and crouched down to take a closer look.
This is the back of a room, the reason why no one has repaired it for a long time, it is already an overgrown picture, it was originally all knee-high grass, but here there is a new trace that seems to have been pressed by something for a long time and then recently moved away.
Looking at the round shape, Chen Guang and Yi De suddenly remembered the water tank that the big brother had brought last night, and they were still curious about why the water tank in the village was full of cobwebs and so dirty, and it turned out to be rolled from here.
In this way, the big brother last night is definitely not an illusion, that is to say, the dream last night is very likely to be true, but why can the big brother enter his dream? Will he be able to escape and enter the city? Or even that in his case, would anyone believe in him and come to his aid?
What's more, even though the whole village has run away, why do the two brothers stay in this village to live?
Chen Guang didn't dare to think too much about it, as long as he had a hopeful thought now, he could take care of Yide here and heal the iron pillar at the same time.
Next, since the iron pillar and his brother have already expressed their sincerity and went out alone to find rescuers, as pharmacists, they can't be idle.
So they started to act, first Chen Guang went back to Tiezhu's room first, and observed the injuries on Tiezhu's body, and it can be seen that in addition to the wound that was pierced by fangs, those abrasions on the body have also begun to show signs of scabbing, as for the bones in the body, they can only find a way to pick fresh Shanghu vines today, use them for a day, and see the effect tomorrow.
