Chapter 52: At the foot of Mt. Wushan
In one of the wooden houses, an oil lamp burned quietly, and its dim glow illuminated the room a dull yellow.
On a wooden bed in the house, Li Ge was lying on it with his eyes closed, and on the two long wooden benches in front of the bed, Lai Changsheng, Mao Yuanshan, Mao Eighteen, Lin Xuanying and Lin Yurou sat respectively.
"Let's go, Lao Mao, let's keep vigil. Lai Laodao got up and walked to the bedside to look at the apprentice, and went out of the house with his hands behind his back. Mao Laodao also reached out and patted his apprentice's head and walked behind the former.
"Auntie, what happened here last night, why were so many seniors injured?" After the two old Taoist priests left the house, Lin Yurou looked at the elders beside him and asked.
"There were a lot of zombies here last night, among them there were two Mao Roar, you Grandpa Lai, they killed one Mao Roar, ...... tonight" Speaking of this, Lin Xuanying sighed and said kindly, "Yurou, Eighteen, you two stay here to take care of Ge'er, I'll go outside to keep vigil with them." ”
Hearing this, the two juniors nodded silently. After sitting still for a while, Li Ge, who was unconscious on the bed, slowly opened his eyes.
"Yurou, eighteen. Lige's weak call came from his mouth, and he immediately moved his hands to support himself against the head of the bed. However, he found that only one hand could move, and the other hand that had been bitten by the corpse was not his own, and he had no strength at all, and in addition, he felt a tingling pain coming from his head.
"You're awake. Seeing Li Ge wake up, Lin Yurou showed a sweet smile on her face, got up and walked to the bed.
"Great, Brother Ge, you're worried about me. Mao 18 also walked to the side of the bed and held Li Ge's hand tightly.
Li Ge saw the two people next to the bed smiled slightly, glanced at the room, and found the oil lamp in the house, and said with a panicked face, "Is it dark? You should quickly extinguish the oil lamp, otherwise you will attract zombies." ”
"Don't worry Brother Ge, we're not in Zhu'er Village right now, this morning my master and Changsheng senior, Aunt Xuanying, came to Zhu'er Village to find us, and took us to a mountain village at the foot of Wushan Mountain. Mao 18 happily explained.
"What about them?" Hearing Mao Eighteen's words, Li Ge breathed a long sigh of relief.
"They went out to keep vigil. Lin Yurou walked to the bed with a cup of tea from the side, "Hungry, drink some water first, I'll get you something to eat." ”
"Thank you Yurou. Li Ge raised his movable hand and took the teacup, and drank it all in one gulp.
After a while, Lin Yurou walked in with a bowl of soup in one hand, she sat on the edge of the bed and smiled at Li Ge, "Your hand that was bitten by zombies shouldn't be able to move yet, I'll feed you." ”
"Okay~ Thank you. Li Ge smiled awkwardly and opened his mouth to take a sip of the soup.
"Brother Ge, you eat first, I'll call the elder of Changsheng. Mao 18 dropped a sentence and ran out of the room. After a while, he led Lai Laodao and Lin Xuanying back to the room.
"Ge'er, are you okay?" Lai Laodao walked to the side of the bed and glanced at the apprentice after entering the house, and then flicked a finger on the apprentice's head, and scolded fiercely, "You stinky boy is really getting more and more worry-free, have you ever thought about the consequences of forcibly casting spells? Also, I let you stay in the county town, why did you go into the mountains?"
"Master, I'm ......" Li Ge was about to open his mouth to explain, but his teacher waited on top of his head with another finger.
"Don't explain to Lao Tzu, a manly man, you should admit if you do something wrong. You said that you little rabbit cub can just go into the mountains alone, why do you bring Yu Rou and Eighteen with you? If something happens to them, see that I don't break your dog's legs. ”
"Grandpa Lai, don't be angry, Li Ge is not to blame for this, it was me and Eighteen who begged him to lead us into the mountain. Lin Yurou on the side explained apologetically.
"Yes, Senior Changsheng, don't blame Brother Ge for this, don't you think we're fine, don't be angry. Mao 18 also echoed on the side.
"What did you do as an elder? As soon as the child woke up, you treated him like this, belch~ He may not know how many grievances he has suffered. Lin Xuanying pulled Lai Lao Dao away, walked to the side of the bed and asked with concern, "How is Ge'er, do you feel uncomfortable there now?"
"I feel a little dizzy in my head right now, and I don't have the slightest strength in this arm. ”
"Don't worry, it's okay. You forcibly performed the operation yesterday and damaged the Lingtai, so it's normal to have a headache now. As for the arm that was bitten by the zombies, I already helped you apply the medicine during the day, and you are resting for the night, and you should be able to regain your strength tomorrow. ”
"Thank you, Aunt Hyunyoung. Li Ge looked at the old woman sitting on the edge of the bed and smiled happily, and immediately turned his gaze to the master who was standing beside him.
"Xuanying, I've never abused this child. Lai Laodao stood aside and touched his head and thought for a moment, and then said to the apprentice on the bed, "Ge'er, did you say that the teacher usually abused you?"
"No, Master, you have always been the best to me. Seeing that the master cared so much about Aunt Xuanying's words, Li Ge secretly smiled bitterly in his heart. I can't imagine that the master, who has always been not afraid of heaven and earth, will have a day of cowardice.
Lai Laodao smiled proudly after hearing this, and immediately walked to the bedside, and was about to reach out to touch the apprentice's head, when a corpse roar suddenly sounded outside the house, the old Taoist's face sank, withdrew his hand and ran out of the house quickly, and when he ran to the door, he turned his head and said, "Xuanying, you and a few children will stay in the room." ”
"You be careful, be immortal. Lin Xuanying looked at Lai Laodao's back and instructed, as soon as the words landed, a thunderous whine outside the house sounded 'boom~', and then several corpse roars from far and near rang out outside the house at the same time.
"Aunt Xuanying, my master will be okay with them, right?" Mao Shibai looked flustered.
"Don't worry, eighteen, we have laid out two layers of formations outside, one layer of large formations covers most of the village, which can block those little zombies, and there is also a small formation around the house where we are staying now, which can temporarily stop Mao Roar. Lin Xuanying explained, and when she saw Li Ge get out of bed, she immediately said, "Let's go, you can go to the attic with me." ”
Walking out of the room, directly opposite a wooden staircase, Lin Xuanying led the three juniors to the wooden fence on the second floor, and suddenly what happened in the village came into view.
This mountain village is built against the mountain, and it is in a row of twists and turns. In front of each house there is a large flat land, and when the flat land between the houses is connected, it forms a wide road, and on the opposite side of the road is a large mountain shrouded in mist.
On the main road in front of the village, there are two large fires, one is more than ten zhang away on the left side of the building where the four people stay, and the other is more than ten zhang away on the right.
Not far from the periphery of the two fires, you can see many zombies with straight bodies, as if they have been stopped by something, jumping straight to the fire, but they can't move forward.
In the firelit mountain village, on the left road not far from Li Ge and them, several monks and Taoist priests were fighting with three zombies, and on the right road, Lai Lao Dao, Mao Lao Dao and several other cultivators were also fighting with several zombies.
