Weird past in the countryside

Chapter 88

Chatted with Mingzhu without any connection, and finally I fell asleep leaning against the wall.Until I felt someone kicking me, I opened my eyes and found that the patriarch led a group of people standing in front of me, and a mighty man was kicking my leg.

I endured the pain and stood up, cursing: "Paralyzed, you are sick, don't think you can bully people because you are hundreds of years old. I don't know if I am injured, why are you kicking me?"

When the man heard this, he was on fire and wanted to come up and fight with me.Then the patriarch coughed, and the man hurriedly backed away, not daring to say another word.It seems that the patriarch's prestige is unshakable.

The patriarch came up and asked, "Are you injured?"

I said coldly: "Skin trauma, it's okay."

The patriarch gave a wink to the back, and someone behind responded and walked out.The patriarch asked me: "Are you ready for the night? What do we need to do?"

I said: "At night, you will go on as normal, and everything will go according to the procedure. Don't let people see the flaws. It's just that Mingzhu can't go, I will go to the altar for her. Then I will lure the child away and go outside the stockade. .”

When the patriarch heard that I was going to replace Mingzhu, his expression changed at first, but later he looked at me with admiration.

I didn't care what he thought. Seeing that it was already dawn outside, I asked the patriarch, "Patriarch, can you let Mingzhu take me around the village, and I'll see where it's better to do it."

The patriarch hesitated for a moment, as if he was considering whether it was appropriate to do so.I didn't explain too much, no amount of explanation at this time is just trying to cover up.

Finally, the patriarch nodded: "Okay, Mingzhu, you can take this young master outside for a walk, and you can come back before dark." Then he turned around and saw that the person who had just gone out had returned, and took it from the person. Passed a bottle and handed it to me: "It contains ointment, which is very effective for trauma, you can keep it for rubbing." Then he turned and left.

Mingzhu took the bottle from me, pulled out the cork, and said to me: "Come on, this is a good medicine from the village, and its effect is much better than those herbs. I'll wipe it for you."

Thinking that there will be a fierce battle in the evening, I no longer postpone it and let Mingzhu treat the wound on my back.When this ointment was applied to the wound, it felt cool, and the pain and numbness disappeared, and I felt refreshed instead.After Mingzhu finished treating my back, I wanted to wipe the front again, so I quickly took the bottle: "I'll do the front myself, I can wipe it. Thank you."

Mingzhu looked at it and smiled again: "They said they were going to call me Grandma Grandma, Grandma Grandma will rub some medicine for you, you are still embarrassed."

I thought to myself, you look smaller than Yuling'er, you don't look like grandma.Thinking of Yuling'er, my heart tightened again. Since the mist cleared, I haven't heard from her until now.I don't know where this girl has gone, and if something happens, how can I explain it to the teacher.

Later, I was irritated by my own thoughts again. At night, I couldn't protect myself, so I didn't have the energy to think about others.After applying the ointment, I feel that my body has basically recovered.

I suddenly felt that my current thinking was too pessimistic, which was not conducive to action at night.So I walked out of the house, exhausted my dantian energy, and roared to the air.Mingzhu was so frightened that he hurriedly chased it out, but the other people in the village acted as if they hadn't heard it, maybe the patriarch had already explained the relevant matters.

After shouting, I said to Mingzhu: "Okay, Mingzhu, lead me around the village." I saw Xiaoyao lying on the door, so I waved: "Xiaoyao, let's go together?"

Xiaoyao rushed over, wagging his fluffy tail, looking very happy.Just like that, two people and a big cat walked out of the gate of the village together.

Along the way, we were largely ignored.After leaving the village, Mingzhu asked me, "Where are we going?"

I said: "Whatever." Originally, I said that I would walk around, mainly to see if there is any connection between the environment here and the underground palace, and if there are any similarities with the scenes I saw in my previous life. Relax your nerves before.

Mingzhu said: "Then let's go casually, and I will show you the surrounding scenery."

I smiled and said, "What's so fun?"

Mingzhu smiled: "Of course I do. I have traveled within a five-mile radius for hundreds of years. I know how many trees there are, and where there is an extra grass."

I felt a little sad when I heard it. Being trapped in a small place for hundreds of years is not much better than being in prison. Putting myself in my shoes, sometimes life is really worse than death.

Mingzhu led me along the Langshui River, which was very fast.I asked casually, "Where does this river lead to?" Mingzhu said, "I don't know. We have this river here, and it hasn't been done for so many years. Ah, I remembered, before There is a very interesting place, I will take you there."

Speaking of which, Mingzhu bounced and walked ahead, walking a few steps and picked a few wild flowers at random.Her personality is very similar to Yu Ling'er.I suddenly felt that when I started teaching as a support teacher, it was like walking into a dream, an endless dream, because I always met people and things that I could only dare to think about in my dreams.I imagined that if I went out of the village and told others that the lively girl in front of me was hundreds of years old, would I be sent to a mental hospital.

Not long after we walked along the river, Mingzhu turned a corner, and I saw the Langshui River coming here and diverging into a tributary.The tributary is very narrow, and the current is not very urgent.Mingzhu walked along the tributary, and I followed behind, Xiaoyao looked absent-minded, chasing flying insects or butterflies in the grass all the way.

The tributary flows into a pond at last. The pond is very large and the water surface is very calm. It looks like a big lake.But after a closer look, it can be found that there is also a slight current in the lake. I speculate that there should be an outlet for the current, and this is only a place for temporary water storage.There are many round leaves growing on the lake, floating on the water, moving slowly with the slight current.The lake was covered with weeds, and some flying insects flew out of the weeds, densely packed, innumerable.

I waved my arms wildly to drive away the flying insects that flew in front of me.I asked Mingzhu with a bitter face: "Mingzhu, is this the fun place you said?"

Mingzhu said: "Oh, you are not lucky to see it. This place is only fun at night. There is really nothing to see during the day. Let's go."

I casually asked: "What's interesting at night, isn't it also a lake, can flowers grow there?"

Mingzhu asked in surprise, "Yeah? How do you know?"

"Huh?" I asked, "What do I know?"

Mingzhu said: "Long flowers, at night, flowers can really grow in this lake. It's very beautiful. There are also these little flying insects, which will glow at night, so beautiful. It's a pity that something happens at night, otherwise I must I want to take you to see."

My heart moved when I heard this, and I asked, "Mingzhu, you said that flowers bloom here at night, so what kind of flowers are blooming, and what color are they?"

Mingzhu saw that I was interested in this, and in order to prove what she said was true, she introduced it to me word by word: "A kind of big flower blooms in the lake at night, and people in the village told me that it is called lotus. It’s so spectacular that it’s blooming all over the lake.”

When Mingzhu said this, her eyes twinkled, full of longing.It seems that in her impression, this is the most beautiful thing.I thought to myself, if possible, I really want to take her out of this damn five-mile range and let her see the outside world.

But right now, I am more concerned about the lotus she mentioned, and I asked, "What color is the lotus?"

Mingzhu said, "Purple ones, we call them purple lotus."

"Purple! Purple!" I said to myself: "It's right, it's right."

Mingzhu asked in confusion: "What's wrong? What are you talking about?"

I concealed: "Ah, nothing? I was thinking about other things. By the way, Mingzhu, what about the sky at night? What color is the sky?"

Mingzhu said: "Of course the sky is black. There are moons and stars on it. What color can it be?"

I muttered again: "How could it be black? Isn't it this place?"

Mingzhu gave me a strange look, and simply stopped asking me.

The round lake surface and the purple lotus, how come it looks like the entrance to the underground palace I saw in my previous life.It was Yuan Duliang who was standing by the lake that day and pierced the underground palace with a gun, but the sky was also purple that day.

I walked to the lake and stood still, turned my head to look at the far end of the lake, there was a mountain covered with moss.No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like there is an underground palace.I thought to myself: "Is it here?"
