Chapter 42: How to cry
Another day passed, Mu Cheng and Lu Dongqi were actually safe, except for Lu Dongqi's face gradually changing, there was no bad news, which may have made the exhausted Mu Cheng a little happy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhizi Tian left and didn't come back, and there was no trace of her sister, the silence of the night made Mu Cheng think a lot, and when it was dawn, she helped Lu Dongqian wipe her face and started a new day.
The location where they are now is basically bordering Nanshan, and on the other side of Nanshan is a village, the famous Niu Village, where Mu Tianyu was born. Afraid of bringing disaster to the village, Mu Cheng did not rush to the village, and now she and the half-dead Lu Dongqi are left, and even food has become a problem. On the one hand, he couldn't wait for Wan Gong to come back, so he had no choice but to ask for help from the people in the village.
Before asking for help, Mu Cheng was always reluctant to leave Lu Dongqi for half a step, so he used his sword to cut some dead vines and dry wood early in the morning, made a simple wooden domain, and dragged Lu Dongqi out of the cave. She was very familiar with the path here, and when she got out of the cave, she found a relatively flat shortcut to Cow Village. Fortunately, Lu Dongqi was thin and didn't cause much trouble to Mu Cheng.
What brought trouble to Mu Cheng was the current situation of Niu Village, in the season of spring plowing and summer ploughing, there was no one inside and outside the village, Mu Cheng didn't think that there would be demons and monsters nearby, so he went straight into the village. The doors and windows in the village were closed, the streets were deserted, and Mu Cheng, who had no way out, was not afraid of what was happening here, but continued to drag Lu Dongqi to take the steps that were already a little physically exhausted. The clenched sword in her hand, ready to be drawn at any time, indicates that she has not let her guard down.
"Orange!" As soon as she entered the village, someone shouted.
Wen Sheng looked over, but saw a hunter poking his head out of the room on the side, and recognized it as Mu Dali at a glance, so Mu Cheng relieved his heart. Mu Dali is a cousin of the family, older than Mu Cheng is more than ten years old, they have known each other since childhood, and after seeing their relatives after a long time of loneliness, a warm current also entered Mu Cheng's heart. Along with Mu Dali, there were two other hunters, and Mu Cheng saw that they were all hiding in the house, and he also understood that something must have happened here.
"At this time, why did you come back, who is he?" Mu Dali greeted him excitedly, and asked as soon as he came up.
Mu Cheng was very weak, took the withered vine of Lamu Fan in his hand, looked at Mu Dali and replied: "I'm a little hungry, let's find something to eat first." ”
Mu Dali had a look in his eyes, and gestured, and the two people beside him took over Mu Fan. Then he gave another order, and the two simply lifted Mu Fan up and entered the courtyard on the side. And he also took Mu Cheng's arm and followed behind.
When entering the courtyard, Mu Dali also looked left and right on both sides of the street, cautious and cautious, but he seemed to be sneaky, like this in his own village in broad daylight, Mu Cheng was very puzzled. But she couldn't wait for Mu Cheng to ask, as soon as she closed the door of the courtyard, Mu Dali said to her: "The village has not been peaceful these days, and the population has been lost again and again, so the whole village has hidden. In order to find out the reason, the village chief asked us to take turns to guard at the head of the village, and this is the eighth day. ”
"What anomalies can you find?" Mu Cheng couldn't help but ask.
"No, I've been here for a few days, and there's been no movement day or night, but in the past two days, I haven't heard of any fewer people in the village. ”
"This happened, why didn't you send someone to inform us?" Mu Cheng asked again.
Mu Dali frowned for a moment, paused and replied: "Since the second uncle has become the head of Donghua Mountain, we have never gone up the mountain to ask for one thing, you also know that the second uncle was kicked out of the village back then, and the old people in the village, how can they still have the face to ask his old man for help." ”
"Confused, human life is at stake, and you can take care of this. ”
They entered the house as they spoke, and as soon as they entered the room, Mu Dali closed the door behind him again, and the sound of their voices gradually became inaudible. I can't hear it here, just the ordinary mortals on the street, and as soon as they enter the house, they see a person walking out of the courtyard gate, but he can still hear it clearly.
It's actually the feathered ghost who has arrived.
Yu Ghost Teng's appearance was obviously following Mu Cheng, but because Mu Cheng didn't want to see him, he never showed up. Including after Mu Cheng followed others into the house, he still didn't mean to bother. Just stood silently like that, as if he had changed into a different person, and he was no longer the ruthless murderer.
Mu Cheng and Mu Dali didn't know anything about the appearance of Yu Guiteng, and when they entered the house, Mu Dali found something to eat and let Mu Cheng sit down, and the other two carried Lu Dongqi to the bed. While eating the food, Mu Cheng began to look at the furnishings in the room, there were more than a dozen crossbows and axes of all kinds, which first attracted her attention. And when she saw the peach branches and ghost talismans at the door, she couldn't help but sigh that they were really attentive.
After settling Lu Dongqi, the two of them went back to the window to set up a sentry, but Mu Dali asked again, "Who is he?"
Mu Cheng took two bites with a big mouth, and then introduced: "He is my friend, he is poisoned, I have to find a way to save him, I can't watch it alone, so I can only come to the village for two nights temporarily." ”
"Poisoning? What kind of poison did he get? The fat fourth man in the village can cure snake venom, if he can use it, I will go and invite him over." Mu Dali said and came to his senses.
Seeing this, Mu Cheng hurriedly replied: "No, the poison in him, if it was so easy to solve, it would have been solved a long time ago, and I have another way to bring him here." ”
Mu Dali didn't feel that he was being sentimental, but followed up and said: "That's better, you can say what you need, come back here, this is your home, you must not be polite." You Brother Dali doesn't have any other skills, but you still have the strength. ”
Mu Cheng smiled and began to eat again. At first, I still ate in a big gulp, but after eating two bites, it gradually slowed down, and after taking another bite, two tears actually came out, and I couldn't swallow a bite anymore. Mu Cheng cried, because the "home" in Mu Dali's mouth was no longer the home in her heart.
"Girl, why are you crying, is it wrong for me to say it. Mu Dali couldn't help but be worried.
Mu Cheng shook his head, tears continued to flow from his eyes, but he smiled on his face again, this smile seemed to leave all the grievances he had suffered in recent days behind. But Mu Cheng also understands that there may be more to face in the future, and it is precisely because of relatives like Mu Dali that she does not feel lonely.
After a burst of joy in his heart, Mu Cheng wiped the tears on his face, and said lightly: "In the afternoon, I want to go to the mountains in the afternoon, and I am still bothered that Brother Dali is optimistic about my friend." ”
"No, you can't go at this time, the village has lost people one after another, and many people say that it is because the mountains are haunted, if you go at this time, you may meet something, if you really want to go, at least you have to get past this limelight. Unexpectedly, Mu Dali directly refused.
Mu Cheng stopped eating, straightened a little, and was not afraid, so he said again: "Then I should go even more, just to help you catch ghosts." ”
Mu Dali was stunned for a moment, feeling incredible, but looking at Mu Cheng's face, she was not joking at all. Suddenly not knowing how to react, Mu Dali immediately changed his position and blurted out: "Then I'll go with you." ”
"No, I just want you to take a good look at my friend. ”
