CHAPTER XIX
Half a year has passed, and most of the white stone statue of Ji Niangniang has been gradually built from the initial prototype. Under the excavation day and night, some things have also been born, the most important of which is the strange thing about the turbid white mine cave.
Wu He and they dug in the cave for a long time, and inhaled too much ore powder in their bodies, and under the moonlit night, many parts of their bodies were faintly shining, as if fireflies had drilled into flesh and blood. This caused them to be horrified, and they cried out that they had suffered from the plague and were not far from death, but the Puyang servants did not care about this, saying that they would resume after a month's rest.
The statement of the errand service is not far from that of the Puyang service workers, although Wu He and they still have some concerns, they can only listen to it. There is something to explain in this matter, but another strange thing is difficult to explain.
When Wu He was digging at the junction of the cave, he suddenly felt that there was something moving in the white mine wall of the inner hole, at first Wu He thought that his eyes were disturbed by the powder, and he was dazzling, but as time went by, Wu He noticed more and more frequently, more and more clearly, so that sometimes he actually saw foreign objects for several breaths.
Wu He was extremely shocked, such a weird thing seemed to be evil, and in Wu He's cognition, it was a sign of disaster. There were also others who noticed this strange phenomenon, but the tired days seemed to paralyze their bodies and minds, and after hearing the remarks that the Puyang servants knew nothing about this, they did not panic for long, but returned to depression.
Soon after, there were servants who were in the lower layers of the cave during the day, and people saw that even though the servants were dealt with quickly and ruthlessly, they were still known to all the people in the service. For a while, rumors of ghosts spread.
Legend has it that from the inner cave, it is the residence of some kind of spirit, and the further you go inside, the more spirits will sneak into your body when you dig, suck the blood and qi all over your body, and eat your brain......
The danger of human life and the treacherous and invisible, this is the great horror in the hearts of the laborers, that is, they are all terrified, and their minds are tense all day long when they are in the cave, and they pay attention to their surroundings. And this will affect the progress of the construction.
Even if there are servants who come out to force pressure, but the pressure is urgent, the servants are even more panicked and slacking off. So the officer said that it could be avoided and gave a solution.
The errand rotated the laborers of the three areas, abandoning the initial test arrangement. But this is just a way to talk is better than nothing, and the people who manage the servants can be described as vicious, and if they can't solve the problem, they are lying and deceiving the laborers, blocking the spread of news, and persecuting those they see with death.
Naturally, the laborers were obsessed with living more, but no one dared to talk about it. And it is said that people are almost gone, and the panic of the laborers is to grind and fade into time, and they return to the paralyzing excavation.
Other trivial matters are nothing more than frictions between servitude workers. Even under such extreme pressure, Wu He can sometimes smile and laugh. Naturally, the negative mood of the villagers can be soothed by him, and there will be fewer incidents. Lack of birth is not not birth, in the face of incidents caused by the villagers, Wu He is not handy.
Wu He was annoyed with participating in disputes between villagers in the past, but now he can only listen to disputes between villagers and outsiders on the sidelines, and help them with reason. At one point, the villagers were very ignorant, so they just waited for them to argue, and only intervened to prevent the scene from getting out of control.
But don't bother with arguments. The servants are paralyzed in the excavation time, occasionally rubbing, and at most scolding each other, and will not really fight. Everyone is tired, so tired that they are angry and attack each other, after all, everyone is a hard-working person.
After the construction of Ji Niangniang's statue is completed, it will be a year later. And after the construction was completed, it happened to meet the arrival of the "season", which may have been calculated by Puyang.
He summoned a contingent of more than 1,000 servants, and announced that the conscription was over. They were finally freed at this moment, and almost all of them could hear it with tears flowing uncontrollably, and their already congested minds were rejuvenated.
Most of them were tormented by the time of hard digging, and the curved body was trembling slightly, as if it had regained the moist dry yellow weeping leaves, and was about to slowly return to the evergreen of the past.
Perhaps they have been hiding their thoughts and preciousness about the life in their respective villages, and it is at this time that the tide poured out and filled their minds.
In this atmosphere of more than 1,000 people crying, Wu He's Xu is inevitably sad and tearful, Rao is Wu He has long understood that he is in peace, and his heart is also surging at this moment. is always just a young man of nearly 20 years old, who can't see through the fluctuations of time, and his mind is turbulent.
Puyang's messenger did not let them go, but let them stay to meet the season together.
It is very nice to say, such as: this is the result of their participation, they should be in a good day, take a good look, how exquisite. Another example: Ji Niangniang loves the world, and transports the four seasons to breed things, so that they can show the "season" to the "season" with the self-sufficiency and variety of food and the joy and respect of the world, so that Ji Niangniang will be more harmonious and nurturing the world and benefit the world.
In addition, the messenger said that he would give each person two or three coins to participate in the greeting event that night.
Who would want to welcome this season? It's not like they don't want to. After a year of suffering, I could afford to wait for a day or two, but in the silence of no answer, the messenger arranged things by talking to himself, and distributed the currency.
The days passed, and the days of the season came. At night, the starry sky of the night moon seemed to Wu He to be cheerful, because the moon was big and round, and the light was transparent.
Wu Hehui's mind was more moist because of what he saw. Not only the bright moon in the sky is pleased with him, but the layout of Puyang City is also pleased with him.
This extends all the way to the outside of the city, and people are also wandering, scattering on the road, and all people, whether they are in gorgeous clothes or rags, are all in the same place, and for the time being, they have eliminated their differences, and there is no inferiority or arrogance.
Although it is an illusion, Wu He can only accept it in peace, that is, he is scattered, and begins to walk around, not caring about the disgusted eyes of some "traders", thinking that some traders are not real traders but are brought in to fill the number, just like Wu He, the people who have welcomed the "season" for nearly a thousand years.
Wu He ignored the contemptuous gaze that was cast from time to time and played with himself, after all, if he missed this moment, he would have no chance in the future.
The people of Wu He Village also listened to Wu He's funny story, and began to go around to join in the fun, even if there were only three coins on their bodies, it was not a pleasure to dig to see the novelty.
As Wu He gradually marched leisurely, all kinds of strange food and interesting fun crowded into Wu He's eyes, and he saw this carved puppet, then went to see the beautiful brocade, and saw what words of candy, painting candy, drawing sugar, etc., but it was really very fancy and seemed to be famous?
The celebratory festival has made the air permeated with all kinds of faint fragrances, circling around Wu He's nose, and even Jue Ha seems to have a sweet feeling in his breath.
If it is a wonderland on the horizon, this is the prosperous city festival in the book? Wu He was happy in his heart, and his face showed a faint smile unexpectedly, but he really had some recognition. This is to be noticed by others, and when they see Wu He smirking, they all have different expressions and jokes in their hearts.
Wu He walked on the avenue for a while, then squeezed out of the crowd and came to the quiet path next to him. I have been wrapped in various fragrances, and Wu He is also the first time to contact so many things, and his mood is uncontrollable, so he found a side road to walk, scattering the splendid meaning on his body, just his heart is confused by Huacai, and it will be fatal if he is greedy.
As Wu He walked alone in the dark streets, his state of mind gradually calmed down. At this time, Wu He suddenly saw a snack vendor who did not match this place.
The stall was lit by a weak light, and the stall owner sat there with his eyes closed, but he was fiddling with something in his hands, and he didn't even need to look at it.
It's weird...... Wu He's previous leisurely mood was stopped by this strange scene, and his eyes widened and he observed carefully. He is dressed in brocade clothes and is relatively simple, not like the many pendants of the noble women on the avenue, his expression is calm, his complexion is as white as the moon, his hands are slender, and his eyes are closed and he looks well-behaved, which is inexplicably provoking people's joy.
A noble woman with a beautiful face sells snacks alone on a near-deserted path? Is it as Puyang Servant said, the so-called weird habits of dignitaries? Or is it a seductive demon that harms people and eats souls?!
Wu He slowed down and walked forward slowly, thinking in his heart, and feeling: It is impossible for an evil person to be a demon at this time, if so, then he really didn't find a chance, this is when the season comes, if it harms someone, how can it escape and be destroyed?
Therefore, it should not be a demon. Wu He approached carefully, but nothing happened, and even the stall owner didn't pay attention to him.
Wu He quietly walked to the vendor, and looked at the stall owner's appearance in more detail, not only well-behaved. The eyebrows are as thin as willows, the thin lips are long, and the birth is really beautiful, and the face feels a little familiar to Wu He, as if he has seen it there.
It sits upright behind the stall with a clever color, but there is a bit of charm, although it is a low level compared with the Huanyu in Wu He's memory, but it also loses the magic that makes people move.
But is such a noble girl setting up a stall here because of her habits? What kind of thoughts do you have......
Wu He didn't care about this, and it was rare to pay attention to the strange movements of the noble woman, so he wanted to turn around and walk on his own, leisurely.
Without waiting for Wu He to walk away, the girl seemed to notice that someone was in front of her vendor, so she asked in surprise:
"This ..... This Zilang? Why come here...... Well...... Is it for some sugar? ”
Hearing this, Wu He didn't say anything, because he didn't see her eyes open. Talking with your eyes closed? Wu He is even more strange, could it be that his eyes are blind? Isn't such a person more dangerous?
The girl didn't hear anyone answer, but she felt that someone was indeed standing there, and she suddenly became a little flustered:
"Sub...... Man? ’
Wu He saw that her face was aggrieved, her voice trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but smile. This little noble girl is really interesting, isn't she here herself? Didn't expect to encounter strange things? It's really interesting.
Ben, Wu He had no intention of making the bad and wanted to go away, but this noble girl stopped him, so he had to let this noble little suffer a joke.
