026, leaving the village
“Um…”
When Sister Ling woke up, her eyes were clear.
In front of me was a familiar roof, pressed with thick thatch, and a familiar smell was floating in the air.
"Sister Ling, you're awake!"
"Zhengji...had I been home?"
"Well, you've already gone home and it's fine." Zhengji was so happy that he was about to shed tears.
"Zhengji has been here for two days," Lu Ye came over with a wet cloth, "How is it, do you feel better?"
Violet came over, too: "Is it okay?"
She has not been idle these two days. Whenever she has time, she will come to touch Sister La Ling's eyelids to see if her eyes have turned red.
Sister Ling has always taken care of the young children and Zhengji.
As the person who cares about others, he is now suddenly being asked about his well-being, which seems a little flattered.
"Well... I remember that I wanted to pick more wild vegetables up the mountain, but after that... I can't remember it very clearly."
"You just fell down and dizzy when you hit the stone in your head." Lu Ye said, "Because we haven't come back, we went to the mountain to find you."
Sister Ling touched the back of her head, which was still a little painful.
"Is that right? It turns out that I've been sleeping for two days."
"Let's rest, Sister Ling, I'll cook right away."
Zhengji winked at Lu Ye, comforted Sister Ling for a moment, and both left the house.
In the courtyard outside the house, Ban Bingwei was playing with Sister Ling's young brother on the grass, and used branches to make a gadget to catch insects.
The child had a great time and ran on the grass with a snot on his face.
Only at this time can Banbingwei smile on his old-fashioned face.
"Mr. Ban Bingwei! Sister Ling is awake!!"
Zhengji, who came out of the house, reported the good news.
"Is that right?" Hearing this sentence, the wrinkles between Banjianwei's eyebrows faded a lot, "It's good."
"It's such a blessing in disgrace. Sister Ling lost the memory after being attacked." Zhengji said, "Otherwise, with her temperament, I'd be afraid of a rope for the rest of my life. As the saying goes, once you are bitten by a snake, you'll be afraid of a rope for ten years."
"That's right. If you remind her of those memories, it would be too cruel."
Lu Ye said as he tightened the knife around his waist.
Seeing this, Banbingwei seemed to understand something and stood up from the grass.
"Since the matter has come to an end, let's leave, Zhengji."
"What, are you leaving now?"
The sudden farewell caught Zhengji off guard.
"Yes, I've been staying here for nearly seven days. It's time to set off," Lu Ye said. "After all, I'm a traveler, and I won't stop traveling until I arrive at my destination."
"Is that right... I can't help keeping you, after all, winter is coming, and the food reserves are not enough." Zhengji said a little apologetically.
Although it is not very polite, this is the truth.
The war is not over now and the form is still very serious.
Lu Ye and others can save more food for the winter if they leave one day earlier.
"By the way, talk about food..."
Lu Ye seemed to remember something, ran to the back of the house, and then dragged out a large cloth bag.
"Come on, this is for you."
"What's this?"
Zhengji was very curious. When did this thing come from behind the house?
"Some food is considered the cost of staying here in the past few days."
"Why are you doing this... You have helped us a lot!"
Zhengji was very ashamed. He felt a little thankful for Lu Ye and others' departure because of food. Lu Ye sent food directly to him.
You should know that this is a life-saving thing. When winter comes, it is difficult to catch animals in the mountains and forests. In a white and cold world, if there is not enough firewood and food, you will just wait for death.
"Don't mind, I have a lot of them here. I'm not the kind of bad guy who distributes food to others when I can't even eat enough... take it." Lu Ye comforted Zhengji.
"Thank you... I'm so grateful." Zhengji didn't know what to say.
He helped the village solve the bandits, helped the village solve the Shenyin, and finally rescued Sister Ling.
He hadn't read much, and he didn't even know a few words.
Although there is only one thank you, he will always remember this kindness in his heart.
In fact, Lu Ye is not very kind-hearted.
The [compressed cookies] purchased from the store is really affordable, so it is very inconvenient to walk with so many.
So just send some out...
"By the way, remember not to tell the villagers about red-eyed things for the time being." Lu Ye said.
"Ah... OK." Zhengji nodded, "But is there really a way to get everyone back to their original state?"
After returning from Gaofeng Mansion, Lu Ye told Zheng Qi about the incident in the mine.
Originally, Lu Ye didn't plan to tell the villagers, because this would only cause panic in vain, but considering that the villagers in the mine needed care, he only told Zhengji.
Of course, Masaki, who initially trusted Gao Feng's family very much, did not.
But seeing that it is true, Lu Ye took him to the mine and threw the truth directly in front of the young man.
Zhengji's performance was not disappointing. Before Lu Ye made a request, he volunteered to take care of these villagers.
"There is a method. A strange thing like Immortal Power must have a source. As long as the source is eliminated, the villagers should be able to restore it to its original state," Lu Ye said. "Then before I come back, everyone will ask you to take care of it. Remember not to get too close to them. Although they are unconscious, they may do something extraordinary."
"Don't worry, if you wrap it around me, will Mr. Banbingwei leave too?"
"After all, things have been promised, so I naturally have to give some strength." Banbingwei said, "Thank you."
"It's okay. If Mr. Banbingwei finishes his work, he will come to the village to live." Zhengqi smiled embarrassedly, "What do you think, I live alone in my house, and there are still a lot of spaces."
"...then I'll be kind." Banbingwei nodded slightly.
In this way, in the quiet morning, when smoke from the village had not yet risen, the three of them left the village.
At the entrance of the village, Zhengji waved his hand vigorously: "Let's go slowly all the way!!"
...
On the path, the afternoon sun shines through the leaves and casts mottled shadows on the ground.
It has been more than five hours since I left the village, and the three of them rested on the roadside trail.
Violet squatted on the ground, curiously poking the spots on the ground.
"Vilrit, remember to wash your hands later." Lu Ye said.
"Okay, Violet is painting."
"Oh, what are you drawing?" Lu Ye asked curiously.
"Puppy." Violet made way out and let Lu Ye watch his works.
"Forehead……"
After seeing the "painting", Lu Ye was speechless.
It is not so much a dog, but a human face, although it is just the simplest smiling face.
However, judging from the length of the hair, he should be a man.
Puppy?
man?
An unknown premonition arose in Lu Ye's heart.
"Can you ask, why is this puppy human?"
