Chapter 3 What should Zhu Bajie do?
The crisis has been lifted for the time being.
Su Wu jumped up, didn't care about saying anything, and quickly ran towards the waterhole.
Su Wu, who was the first to run to the side of the pool, was about to fill it with water with a bamboo tube, but when the bamboo tube in his hand came into contact with the water in the pool, it couldn't hold a trace of water at all.
The water was like an illusion, allowing the bamboo tube to pass through it easily.
Weird!
As if thinking of something, Su Wu then turned his head and shouted at the few people behind him, "Give me the jade bottle." β
An emerald green, palm-sized bottle was handed to Su Wu by Su Xiaoshi, and then Su Wu stretched the bottle under the waterfall.
Strange to say, this time I actually received water.
However, what is even stranger is still behind, after only receiving a small bottle of water, the waterfall from the void suddenly collapsed, and the ten-zhang wide crack was also closed, whether it was the waterhole below or the waterfall before, it disappeared at once.
It's like the previous ones were all hallucinations.
The others were completely stunned.
A hint of horror flashed in Su Wu's eyes, and he forcibly lifted his mind and glanced around.
"Why are you stunned, hurry back the way you come. β
"That thing from before will probably come back at any time. β
Everyone made a clever move, and according to Su Wu's instructions, they quickly evacuated along the road after coming.
Passing by the place where they were lying just now, everyone subconsciously glanced at it, and then everyone's faces turned white, and their scalps were about to explode.
I saw that there was a pool of bright red blood about a meter away from the place where they were lying just now. And there was a series of blood-red footprints, stretching out to the other side.
"Don't look at it, run!"
Su Wu knocked Su Xiaoshi's head and pulled him to run.
Fortunately, the direction in which this footprint extended was inconsistent with the direction in which they returned, otherwise Su Wuwu would never dare to return the same way.
Follow the road signs that you have memorized in advance, and run frantically all the way.
When the sun was about to set, a group of several people returned to the area where Sujiazhuang was located with some of the prey they had hunted in the past few days.
......
And at the moment
The villagers of Sujiazhuang are also crowding in front of the simple gate of Sujiazhuang, looking out one by one expectantly.
"Sister, hasn't my brother come back yet?"
"The little one is hungry. β
A little girl in simple clothes, with a dirty face and a thin body, probably only four or five years old, snuggled up to a thirteen or fourteen-year-old woman and muttered.
This is Su Wu's sister, Su Xiaoyou.
Three days ago, Su Wu left in a hurry, and he didn't bother to say hello to this little guy.
In fact, the reason why he left so anxiously was that he had just fused the memories of his predecessor and was afraid of revealing his feet.
"Little young boy, Brother Su will be back soon. He's a trainee martial artist, so he'll definitely bring back a lot of prey, and you'll have meat to eat when the time comes. β
The woman, although she was also very thin, hugged the little girl into her arms hard, hoping to bring a little warmth to the little girl with her body.
"Oh, what a wickedness!"
"The young owner is only fifteen years old, how can you, how can you .......?"
"I can't wait to go with the young owner. β
An old man sighed, wiped his eyes with the sleeve of his coat, which had been torn several holes, and stopped talking.
The old, weak, sick and disabled around them also fell silent.
Among them were some young men, all of whom clenched their fists, their faces flushed, with a hint of guilt and resentment.
The young owner entered the extremely dangerous forest for them three days ago, and he has not returned yet, which is really worrying.
To say that the country of Wusi sits on such a large primeval forest, even if there is a major drought, it should not be impossible to survive, and there are all kinds of edible food in the forest.
However, the reality is that few people in the whole country dare to go deep into this primeval forest. Because there are not only man-eating jackals, tigers and leopards inside, but also all kinds of weird horrors that cannot be described in words.
For example, the human-faced cat demon who cries at night.
A deep pit that eats people and does not spit out bones.
Plants that can walk like animals, etc.
As a result, very few humans dare to ask for food from this large forest.
"That old farmer is really not a thing. His daughter also has a baby kiss with our young farmer, and this time he actually forced the young farmer to enter the interior of the big forest!"
"Damn old thing!"
A young man gritted his teeth and said that he was angry, and even smashed his fist on the simple wooden fence.
"I heard that there are a few martial artists from the Tang Dynasty, which force handed over some treasures of the forest, and they taught some martial arts of the Tang Dynasty to the heirs of this force. That's a mysterious martial arts, who in our little Wusi country can't be tempted. β
"And the owner of the old village is also treating his son, and he is also out of the way, and he doesn't want to lose his face. β
The old man who had sighed just now sighed again.
The atmosphere around was completely depressed.
It's getting dark, and according to the rules, if you spend three nights in the forest in a row, the chance of dying will be greatly increased.
And today, it is the end of the three days agreed with them when Su Wu set off!
"Wait, look, is that the young owner?"
"Oh my God, it's really the young owner!"
"He's back!"
Everyone suddenly cheered.
.......
night
Everyone gathered in the inner square in front of the clan hall and simply roasted and cooked the animals that a few people hunted.
Except for a few young people who were keeping vigil, most of the villagers of Sujiazhuang were here.
There were about 300 people.
Holding Su Xiaoyou, Su Wu thought about his thoughts. And the latter was obviously still in a state of joy, clutching a rabbit leg, eating with oil on his face, and very happy.
Su Xiaoyou hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and this time her brother brought back a lot of prey and gave Su Xiaoyou a whole fat rabbit, which made her very happy.
It's a pity that the big stupid brother is only allowed to eat one rabbit leg at a time, saying that he is afraid of holding on. I just underestimate her Su Xiaoyou's belly!
"Huh, big fool!"
Thinking like this, Su Xiaoyou arched into Su Wu's arms again, and wiped the greasy on his hand on Su Wu's clothes.
Touching Su Xiaoyou's head and looking at the happy villagers around him. Su Wuxin sighed in his heart.
Zhuang Min put all his hopes on Su Wu, which made him very stressed.
The drought came too suddenly, and Sujiazhuang was unprepared, resulting in this year's grain production. Although it rained before, it still could not alleviate the general trend of drought.
Now the whole Zhuangzi is panicked, and on average, each family has less than three days of grain in reserve, and it is only two or three catties of grain. Even Su Xiaoyou, the younger sister of the owner, was starving.
It is conceivable that the entire Sujiazhuang has reached the point of collapse.
If this continues, famine will emerge in Sujiazhuang.
The seeds of the story of the living corpse, which is hidden somewhere, will definitely take the opportunity to take root.
"You've left me with the worst mess!"
Su Wuxin smiled bitterly.
When people come to Journey to the West, they all take advantage of the wind to cultivate immortals and enjoy the world.
And what about yourself?
You need to think about how to eat enough and how to make the people in the whole village full.
He could actually be selfish and just leave. With his ability, he can feed him, Su Xiaoyou, and Su Yue everywhere. But fifteen years of memories were obtained, which was equivalent to his home, which could not be parted with.
Besides, the tasks released by the story collection are obviously related to Zhuangzi, or his own territory, which makes him unable to leave.
"Farming, cultivating immortals, controlling story seeds, cultivating martial arts, and establishing power ......."
"There's so much I want to do. β
"Fortunately, now I have successfully obtained what the owner of Gao Lao Zhuang needs. It's not a hopeless start. It's better than a dog at the beginning. β
Su Wu glanced at the jade bottle in his arms, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
It's dangerous!
If it weren't for the fact that it was too late, he would have wanted to send it to Gao Laozhuang overnight.
"Treasure...... What the hell are these things?"
Su Wu sighed again, even though he had the memories of his predecessor for fifteen years, he still felt very unfamiliar with this world.
Due to shallow knowledge, some deep things are not understood.
But what is certain is that this world is indeed a journey to the west, with four continents, the Tang Dynasty, and the Wusi Kingdom, and even next door to their Zhuangzi, there is a famous Gao Laozhuang.
He is still the fiancΓ© of the famous Gao Cuilan!
It's just that what should Zhu Bajie do?
