Chapter 7: Half-Blind
Please don't be stupid!! don't go!!
Ji Yuan was anxious behind the statue, if something happened to these foot traders, it would be his turn in the end!
He couldn't just scream, he could only listen to the footsteps getting farther and farther away until they disappeared into his ears.
Under this strong inner struggle, Ji Yuan's eyelids trembled violently, the corners of his mouth trembled constantly, and the little finger of his right hand actually moved slightly.
Ji Yuan felt this change for the first time, which immediately lifted his spirits, which was originally in an extremely bad mood.
He felt his body carefully, and found that under the violent struggle of consciousness, this "ghost press" had been relieved a little, and a few of the fingers of his hands could barely flex, although the amplitude was not large, but it was indeed a huge improvement.
This made Ji Yuan ecstatic, the four foot merchants who were taken out were bound to have a worrying ending, but if he could move and unite these foot traders, maybe he would still have a way to live.
At the entrance of the mountain temple, Zhang Shilin lit only two of these torches, and then handed them to Wang Dong, and the cold wind at night blew the flames left and right.
"Be careful, pay attention to protect Lu Gongzi. ”
"No problem, Slinger!"
"Lao Jin, pay attention!"
"Don't worry! I'll look at it!"
Jin Shunfu took the torch and assured Zhang Shilin with several other people that after all, he was a foot trader, and he was also half an old mountain guest, so he would not be afraid of such a little road.
Zhang Shilin wanted to hand over the second lit torch to Lu Shusheng, after all, the other party was going to lead the way, but Lu Shusheng didn't take it.
"No, no, I'm a little afraid that the torch will burn my long shirt, just let Brother Xiaodong take it!"
"Yes, yes, give it to me, hey, hey, hey"
Wang Dong directly smiled and snatched the torch.
"You kid!"
Zhang Shilin scolded with a smile, put the remaining unlit torches into the light back basket carried by Liu Quan, and once again instructed them to pay attention to the road under their feet, and the group set off to dig the mountain king ginseng.
In the mountain temple, Ji Yuan's face was hideous, his hands and feet were twitching, this was naturally not a disease, but a violent struggle to gain control of his body.
The remaining eight merchants at the door knew that the firelight was gone, so they returned to the mountain god together, and the expressions on their faces were full of anticipation and joy.
Even if it is not Sanwang ginseng, a ginseng plant that is full of vintage is worth a lot of silver, after all, rich people spare their lives, and good medicinal materials are willing to pay for it.
"Zhangtou, what's wrong with this beggar?"
Someone sat by the fire, and they noticed the strangeness of Ji Yuan, and couldn't help but exclaim.
Zhang Shilin hurriedly walked over, and the other foot merchants also came over, and they were a little panicked when they looked at Ji Yuan's struggle.
"He's sweating a lot......"
"Is this a sheep madness?"
"Bring a stick, pry his mouth open, don't let him bite his tongue off!!"
Zhang Shilin squatted down to fix the beggar's twitching body and yelled at the others.
Immediately someone found a suitable one from the pyre.
"I'll open his mouth, and you will immediately stuff him in!!"
"Woo... Woohoo......"
Ji Yuan instinctively resisted, and he was not crazy, and he didn't know how dirty this wooden stick was.
"Help me hold him!!"
After a while, a wooden stick was stuck in Ji Yuan's twitching mouth, but fortunately it was horizontally for him to bite.
A group of footmen watched for a moment, and slowly returned to the fire.
Someone sighed.
"This beggar won't be able to survive tonight, and if that's the case, let's dig a pit for him and bury it." ”
"Yes, we will also settle down in the mountain temple in the future, so don't let the corpse stay here. ”
What the hell are you guys!!
Knowing that they had good intentions, Ji Yuan heard that his muscles were inexplicably bursting out.
That is, the previous wave of people walked for about ten minutes.
"Roar ~~~~~~~~~~"
A terrifying roar suddenly sounded from a distant place, frightening everyone in the mountain temple.
"Twitter......" "Pop ......"
Countless birds on the surrounding mountain trees were frightened and scattered in all directions, chirping in a hurry around the mountain temple.
At the same time, a cool breeze blew through the temple gate, blowing the fire in the temple to sway.
"Open your head !!" "Shilin!!!, what's the sound?"
"Beasts?"
Zhang Shilin's face was a little pale, and he subconsciously shrank back as he looked at the night outside the temple.
"The tiger roars and frightens the mountains and forests...... It's a big bug!!"
"Hiss ......."
There was a sound of inhalation around.
"That Xiaodong and Lao Jin are they!?"
No one dared to go any further.
Zhang Shilin also clenched his fists and looked outside the temple.
"The voice of this big insect is far away, Xiaodong they... It should be fine, yes, they still have torches, just in case, everyone get the guys ready, they can't sleep tonight!"
This tiger roar also frightened Ji Yuan's fierce spirit.
It's just that after this excitement, Ji Yuan found that he had actually gained control of his body!
At this moment, his right hand was retracted and clenched, although it was a little jerky but controlled, he did not rush to straighten up, but carefully experienced this hard-won feeling.
Then, Ji Yuan slowly opened his eyes, if he could see his eyes, he would find that the center of his eyes was light at the moment, a clear gray white.
I felt that the light was a little faint, so dim that it was difficult to see clearly, if it wasn't for the fact that I couldn't see anything at all, Ji Yuan almost thought that he was blind now.
He tilted his head slightly, looked at the fire, and chuckled inwardly.
The fire seemed very blurry in his eyes, and the light of the fire was like a thick layer of frost, and the light that came through his eyes was limited.
Isn't it simply a little flawed in my eyesight......
'At least not completely blind...'
Ji Yuan had no choice but to comfort himself in his heart.
But just after opening my eyes for a while, my eyes are a little sour, not unbearable, but definitely uncomfortable.
"Zhang Tou, the one who asked for food woke up!!"
Although the rest of the traders were nervous now, someone still noticed the abnormality of Ji Yuan, and this sound also caused everyone to look in the direction of the beggar, and sure enough, they saw him moving, and turned their heads to look this way.
It's just that now even Zhang Shilin didn't have the time to pay attention to this beggar who was not related to him, everyone took out firewood knives and short sticks from the basket and held them tightly in their hands, and paid attention to the direction of the temple gate with a nervous expression.
Ji Yuan didn't have time to worry about his eyesight problems, the most critical thing at the moment was his own life, he tried to sit up, but he only got up half with his arms supported, and there was a strong feeling of dizziness and powerlessness.
"Smack...", Ji Yuan fell back to the ground and hit the back of his head.
"Shhhh Whew..."
This time it was very painful, so that Ji Yuan couldn't help but bare his teeth.
He found that although he could move, it was like he had just recovered from a serious illness, and he couldn't use his strength, and the footmen didn't pay attention to him at all.
Ji Yuan didn't open his mouth to ask for help, he grabbed the base of the statue on the side with his right hand, and sat up with great difficulty.
