Chapter 241 Three people live forever
"boom!"
As the sound of trees falling to the ground came from not far away, everyone understood what happened——
We found the gathering place of the group.
Hu Xiaowu looked at the fallen tree trunks not far away, and then at me. After holding in the silent atmosphere for a long time, he muttered in a low voice:
"It's useless to talk to the gods, but I haven't even told you, sister."
I ignored him, gestured for everyone to be quiet, and then slowly walked towards the direction where there was movement.
Thanks to the layers of shading trees and the still-yielding sky, I quickly took the lead and approached those who were cutting down the trees.
In fact, there are not many people.
There were only three or four middle-aged men who took back their axes and chainsaws and took out ropes, preparing to tie up the big tree on the ground and drag it away.
They are real ordinary people, and they are not very alert.
Even Sister Ma dragged her steps and touched her carefully, but the group of people were still chatting:
"Old Hei, are your sons still outside and not back?"
"Nope."
"That's not possible. You have to come back. Today is a fireworks festival!"
"I know. I called them both early. They should be back later."
"That's okay, right? Why do I remember that when your son came back to see you at the end of the year last year, he still didn't believe in immortality and had a quarrel with you? Why is he willing to come back to participate in the fireworks festival this year?"
"Well, they have read some books and think that the world is like a well. If a book tells them how big the mouth of the well is, they believe how big the mouth of the well is. They never want to use their brains.
I later begged the village chief and took them to see his grandfather once, and they believed everything.
I haven’t come back now, so I guess it’s still early, so I went to buy some incense, paper money, etc. to prepare for the fireworks festival in the evening. "
"That's fine, you old boy are lucky! My son and daughter-in-law have gone out to study and have not come back. No matter how I tell them about our Wutou Village, I don't believe it and they refuse to come back. I really don't understand the rules."
"Hahaha, wherever you are, you are blessed! Come on, lend a hand and drag this up. The village chief is waiting for us to take the trees back and put them on the fire platform to dry, so that we can have fireworks at night."
A few middle-aged men simply cut off the branches and leaves of the tree crown, and tied the rope tightly to the tree. With a collective force, the tree dragged a long tail mark on the still moist mountainous ground.
Hu Xiaowu was a little unsure for a moment and asked his elder brother:
"Brother, shall we follow now?"
"The place they went to should be the festival center, and the miracle doctor should be there too."
Boss Hu has his own considerations:
"There must be a lot of people in the festival center. Your sister-in-law can't walk fast in the forest. If we carry them on our backs, the vegetation can't hide our figures and we will be easily exposed. There are always traces on the ground. Let's follow them from a distance and be careful when we touch them. Miss Tu, it's okay. ?"
I was still thinking about the words of those middle-aged men, but I was interrupted when Boss Hu named me:
"OK."
"But...be careful."
"Please remember, we are not here to alert others. We have to see what these people in Wutou Village do first."
"It is rumored that on the festival day, heads will be beheaded during the day and celebrated at night. Those people just mentioned the Immortals. On such an important festival, the Immortals will definitely show up."
"We must at least see what condition the immortals are in, what is the success rate of 'beheading for immortality' during the day, who is the miracle doctor, and what his medical skills are, and whether he is suitable to treat Sister Ma, and then ask for help. Understand?"
The little question I asked at the end was all said by looking at Hu Xiaowu. Hu Xiaowu listened with interest, but when I asked him suddenly, he pointed at himself with a confused look on his face:
"me?"
"Where do I have your brains? If you want me to move forward and back, just tell me. What else do I need to see?"
Hu Xiaowu's attitude is mainly "I don't have a good brain, but I am willing to put in the effort, and if anything happens, just say something".
Mr. Hu and his wife knew their brother's temperament, so they shook their heads repeatedly and said nothing more. He carefully carried his wife on his back again. And relying on my lightness, I took the lead in walking to the front to explore the path for them.
The place where the trees were cut down was not far from the place where the fireworks festival was held. After walking for about ten minutes, I saw a huge pile of wood standing not far away.
The entire pile of wood is in the shape of a cone. Each 'firewood' is two to three meters high. The bark is simply peeled off, and the thick end is stuck in the soil, and the tapered end is leaning against the air.
Several sharp daggers shot straight into the dome.
There is a burning brazier under the pile of wood.
The brazier was covered with fresh branches, so the fire was not very big. Only thick smoke came out, simmering the juice of these fresh trees and turning the originally white and tender peeling trees black.
Wrong, this is not a fire.
This is a simple 'altar'.
Outside the altar, the villagers of Wutou Village were sitting in a circle.
The villagers are old and young, but they all have several common characteristics -
They all sat in their own seats, looking towards the altar with burning eyes, without saying a word.
Wherever I looked, even five or six-year-old children who were in the troublemaking period were not playing. They were sitting in their mother's arms with their heads lowered, holding their beloved toys with trembling little hands.
I actually understand why that five- or six-year-old boy is different and has to lower his head and tremble.
I see.
After all, there were three immortals in the big iron cage next to the altar.
Headless, with hands stretched out, he is groping around, the Immortal Man.
The skin of the three immortals was covered with wrinkles, but it was far from dry, and even had a faint rosy color.
They carefully explored the boundaries of the iron cage. Since they had no heads and eyes, they would sometimes collide with each other. When their fingers collided, their skin would rebound very close to that of a normal person.
This illustrates a very important point -
They did not become like this after aging after becoming immortals, but they were like this before.
The 'miraculous doctor' really preserved the appearance and body of these people indefinitely.
Moreover, judging from the obvious purpose of these immortals constantly rubbing the iron cage to find the exit, these people should actually have basic self-awareness.
I glanced at Boss Hu behind me, who was obviously excited:
"Although they are wearing clothes and the places where their heads were severed are scabbed, these are still clearly 'decapitated immortals'."
"The situation is better than what we originally expected for the appearance of immortals, I thought"
I originally thought that according to the rumored methods of the miracle doctor, people would definitely be made to look like humans or ghosts, not to mention inhuman, but at least they would be in a very miserable state.
But now was obviously not the time to attack others, so I immediately swallowed back the second half of my sentence:
"He is conscious, and his muscles and skin have rebounded normally. Judging from the large-scale scabbing of the wound, he must have been an immortal for some years and is in good condition. This is undoubtedly a confirmation of the skills of the miracle doctor."
"But apart from the fact that the number of immortals is too small."
The Hu brothers' eyes were obviously intense and excited, and they could no longer listen to anything else.
I insisted on finishing the last sentence:
"There is another point that should not be ignored -
The immortals were all locked up. "(End of chapter)
