The pretty woman came over carrying a lunch box, followed by the little girl with braids.
The village chief, who had been guarding the entrance of the courtyard, looked tired, with sunken eyes and red eyes. It looked like he hadn't slept for a long time, and he shook his head tiredly.
"It's been two full days. Little brother Wang hasn't had any water and has been locked in the yard... Nothing will happen to him, right?"
The woman looked worried.
"What nonsense!"
The village chief glared at his daughter-in-law.
After the daughter-in-law put down the lunch box and left with the little girl, the village chief also glanced at the yard behind him with some concern.
Two full days have passed since Wang Jin entered this courtyard.
In the past two days, except for the sound coming from the yard yesterday to stop them from picking up medicinal herbs and delivering them, there was no sound from the yard.
In the past two days, the village chief was worried about Wang Jin's health and asked his daughter-in-law to deliver food on time every day, but Wang Jin did not touch it.
In the past few days, the village chief has also been worried about whether something happened to Wang Jin in the yard. He wanted to go in and take a look several times, but in the end he endured it.
"It should be okay..."
The village chief thought as he mentally sensed that there was still an extremely scorching temperature in the yard, which had not weakened at all in the past two days.
"Village Chief, why don't you go and take a rest? I'll just guard you here."
Erzhuzi was also here. Looking at the village chief's haggard expression, he couldn't help but say.
Ever since Brother Wang entered the courtyard and stayed behind closed doors, the village chief has been standing guard outside the courtyard, never leaving. He even eats here and hasn't slept for two whole days.
The village chief shook his head. He didn't trust others to guard him and insisted on guarding the yard himself.
Er Zhuzhu tried to persuade the village chief several times, but the village chief remained unswerving. He had no choice but to give up the idea of persuading the village chief to let him leave, and stood guard outside the yard with the village chief.
He chatted with the village chief all the time, trying to relieve the village chief's fatigue.
"Village Chief, do you smell anything?"
Suddenly, Erzhuzi's nose twitched a few times.
"smell?"
After not sleeping for two consecutive days, the village chief was very tired and his five senses were weakened a lot. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he sniffed hard, and sure enough, he smelled a strange aroma floating faintly in the air.
The fragrance was very light at first, mixed in with the grass-scented wind, but gradually, the fragrance became stronger and stronger.
Erzhuzi's nose twitched non-stop, and he sighed intoxicatedly: "It smells so good..."
This aroma is not the strong and attractive smoke of barbecue at the market, but the fruity aroma exuded by the bright red and attractive fruits in a fruit forest.
It was extremely rich, a strange aroma that Erzhuzi had never smelled before. He twitched his nose intoxicatedly and swallowed involuntarily.
The village chief was also a little intoxicated by this alluring aroma, and his saliva secreted involuntarily.
"What exactly does this smell like? Why does it smell so good?"
He was a little confused and searched for the source of the aroma. He was soon surprised to find that the source of the aroma seemed to be coming from the yard behind him.
"What on earth is little brother Wang doing in the yard?"
He was getting more and more confused.
He personally arranged this courtyard for Wang Jin, and he knew what was inside it best.
It was just an empty yard. Apart from the medicinal materials sent in according to Wang Jin's request and the huge cauldron, there were only some debris that had not been cleaned in time.
No matter how you think about it, there is no way that something that can emit such a strange fragrance exists.
Could it be that you are really preparing some kind of tonic?
The village chief's alarm clock subconsciously showed the pot tripod bought from a nearby town at Wang Jin's request.
Such a huge cauldron is obviously just something used by country people to cook a large pot of rice on a running table. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with such a high-level thing as preparing tonics, right?
But if it wasn't preparing tonics, where did this strange aroma come from?
While he was still speculating in his mind, he suddenly heard the worried voice of Erzhu on the side: "Village Chief, why do I feel like the sky is going to change..."
Things are going to change?
The village chief looked up and found that the night sky, which was originally full of stars, had turned completely dark at some point.
No, it's not completely dark.
The village chief's eyes suddenly widened.
Because he discovered that not the entire sky became dark at this moment.
Just above Heming Village, there were dark clouds shrouding the sky, covering up the stars.
Looking into the distance, the moon and stars were sparse, and there were no dark clouds at all.
To be more specific, it seems that the dark clouds are thickest in the sky above the courtyard behind me?
Upon discovering this, the village chief subconsciously turned his head to look at Erzhuzi on the side, only to find that the latter was also turning his head to look at him with some horror.
"Village Chief...why don't we find a place to take shelter..."
Er Zhuzhu instinctively sensed something was wrong, swallowed and said.
The village chief was a little discouraged, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "No, Brother Wang is still inside. What if someone accidentally breaks in after we leave? Go get an umbrella."
Erzhuzi gritted his teeth and nodded, then trotted quickly to get the umbrella.
When he came back with two umbrellas, the dark clouds over the courtyard had accumulated deeper and deeper, and it seemed that he could vaguely see little bits of electric light swimming in the dark clouds, like tiny strips of light.
Electric snake.
"Village Chief, I think something is really wrong here..."
Erzhuzi was a little scared, and subconsciously took a few steps closer to the village chief. He looked up at the dark sky, which was far more oppressive than other places in the village: "Why do you feel that these dark clouds seem to be gathering specifically over this courtyard..."
The village chief said nothing. He was not blind, so how could he not see it.
The dark clouds seemed to be attracted by a magnet and accumulated over the courtyard behind them.
The further away from the courtyard, the lighter the dark clouds become, and the suffocating and oppressive feeling becomes lighter and lighter.
However, this is just an ordinary courtyard, how could it possibly attract all the dark clouds in the sky?
Could this also be related to Wang Jin in the yard?
This is too ridiculous. How could one person attract all the dark clouds in the sky?
Boom!
Just as an idea that seemed a bit ridiculous to him emerged in the village chief's mind, he heard a sudden explosion in the sky, as if a grenade exploded above his head.
The village chief and the second pillar subconsciously shrank their necks, and the second pillar was so frightened that he almost jumped up. They both looked up and saw a flash of lightning in the dense clouds above their heads, like a sharp sword.
Like a sword, it tore apart the thick dark clouds in the sky for a moment.
Before the two of them could be frightened, they heard another thunderous roar above their heads. They were both startled this time. Erzhu trembled a little and said: "Village...Village Chief, do you feel that this sound
The roar seems to be coming from the yard behind you?"
Without Er Zhuzi opening his mouth, the village chief, who is a second-level spiritual master, naturally noticed that the roar just now was not only heard in the sky, but also there was a huge roar in the yard behind him, as if something exploded.
Same.
It's just that the thunder in the sky was too loud, covering up the vibration in the yard behind him.
"How about... village chief, let's go in and take a look. Is there anything going on with little brother Wang..."
Erzhuzi became more and more worried. The strange clouds above his head and the roaring sound in the yard without any warning made him a little uneasy.
The village chief was also a little shaken this time. He hesitated for a moment, and the worry in his heart became more and more intense. He finally nodded, and the two of them stepped forward together, and were about to reach out and push open the courtyard door.
Suddenly, that strange and extremely fragrant aroma came again, this time it was extremely strong, and I don't even know how many times it was than before.
The two of them were intoxicated by the rich and strange aroma for a moment before they came back to their senses. The courtyard door in front of them suddenly creaked and opened from the inside.
When the courtyard door opened, the two of them were shocked to find that the courtyard was filled with white mist.
There is an indescribable sweetness in the breath, and the white mist is actually the source of the rich aroma.
The two breathed in the white mist in the courtyard almost subconsciously and greedily. I don't know if it was an illusion. After inhaling a few wisps of the white mist in their noses, the physical fatigue of both of them was relieved a lot.
In the vast mist, a figure emerged vaguely, staggering to the door, shaking his body and almost falling to the ground.
"Little brother Wang!"
Erzhuzi exclaimed and hurriedly stepped forward to support the figure.
In just two days, Wang Jin seemed to be a completely different person. His already slender figure had lost a lot of weight, his cheeks were somewhat sunken, and his face looked tired. Only his eyes were as bright as
usual.
Even the clothes are a little tattered.
"Quickly, help little brother Wang into the house."
The village chief could tell at a glance that Wang Jin was clearly suffering from excessive mental exertion, so he hurriedly called Erzhu and helped Wang Jin to rest.
However, Wang Jin waved his hand and said in a weak voice: "No, village chief, please take me to the high-speed rail station."
"Send it to the high-speed rail station?" The village chief was stunned for a moment: "But your current body..."
"Village Chief." Wang Jin struggled to support his body, pushed away the two pillars and supported his hands. Although his eyes were weak, they were extremely firm, as if with an irresistible force: "Please, please take me to the station.
The sooner the better.”
Looking at those firm eyes, the village chief could only nod his head and asked Erzhuzi to hurry up and drive his van to take Wang Jin to the station.
A few hours later, Erzhu drove back in the van, but unexpectedly found that the sky had returned to clarity, dotted with stars, just like the thick clouds that had accumulated in the sky before. With Wang Jin's departure,
It has also dissipated.
"Could it be that little brother Wang really brought that dark cloud..."
He muttered and came to the yard, only to find that the yard was empty. The medicinal materials that the whole village had gathered from the mountains had gone to no one.
The village chief was standing in the courtyard blankly, staring at somewhere in the courtyard in a daze.
Erzhuzi was a little confused about where all the medicinal materials had gone. He was also a little surprised by the village chief's appearance, so he followed the village chief's gaze.
I saw a large burnt mark in the center of the yard, as if it had been struck by lightning.
There was a large pile of fragments scattered in the yard. Even though they were scattered, Erzhu could still tell that it was the cauldron that the village chief ordered him to buy from the town.
However, the cauldron that he spent a lot of money to buy had been broken into countless pieces and scattered all over the ground.
Vaguely, you can still see the arc that has not completely dissipated beating on the fragments, making a few sizzling sounds, and then completely dissipating in the air.
