Chapter three hundred and eighteen looking for traces
After talking to Mrs. Gu, we each went back to our rooms to rest.
When Loach lay on his bed, he was still crying and howling, "I've been following you around every day. Yesterday I went to the Tomb of the Ancient Ming Dynasty, today I'm looking for coffin fungus, and tomorrow I'm going to investigate Lu Changqing. Dongfang, you can't let me
Do you want to take a rest?"
I ignored Loach's complaints. He was just such a person. If I didn't let him go with me, he would be full of complaints.
Lao Bai, who went to bed early, said, "Loach, just be content! Now you can at least walk around! It's better than me lying in bed all day in a daze!"
I looked at Lao Bai, "How is your leg now? When will you be able to walk normally?"
"Actually, it has gotten much better, but I still have a slight pain when I walk. I think it will be fine in a day or two."
This puts me at ease. We will leave Lujia Village once the matter of the Guizi family is figured out. If Lao Bai's injury hasn't healed at that time, it will be really troublesome."
Then we chatted a few more words and then went to sleep.
Because we have been running around non-stop for the past two days, we are physically and mentally exhausted, so we slept for a long time and didn't get up until the sun was already shining on our butts.
After hurriedly eating the breakfast prepared for us by Mrs. Gu, Loach and I hit the road.
Sister-in-law Gu told us yesterday that the house where Lu Changqing lived before was very old. Since then, the land area of Lujia Village has undergone relatively large changes, so his original residence is quite far away from us.
"Let me go, this place is really desolate!" As he walked on the road, Loach looked around at the situation.
"Ouch, it hurts so much, please help me!"
"Who will save me..."
At this time, I suddenly heard a groan. The voice was very old, and it was an old man asking for help.
I ran over following the sound and saw an old lady sitting on the ground, moaning in pain.
This is really strange, this old lady is so old, she still dares to enter Wangbashan alone.
Sister-in-law Gu said that few people usually come here. How come I heard the old man calling for help now?
I originally planned to run over and stopped, but when I thought of this I was a little hesitant and didn't know whether I should care about the old lady.
When the old lady groaned, she seemed to have seen me. She waved to me, "Young man, come here and save me. I went up the mountain to collect herbs alone, and then I accidentally sprained my foot. Please do it."
, come and see me quickly."
I thought about it and finally decided to go over and have a look. If this old lady really accidentally sprained her foot while going up the mountain to collect medicine, wouldn't it be harming her if I left her here alone by leaving her alone.
Thinking of this, I quickly ran over and said, "Old lady, what's wrong with you?"
"Hey, young man, you are finally here. Old lady, I am alone. Today I want to go up the mountain to collect some herbs to supplement the family income. But I didn't expect that I am old and have failed. By accident, not only did I not collect the herbs, but I also
I accidentally sprained my foot. Fortunately, old lady, I met you today, otherwise, I might have died here." The old lady said, covering her leg.
I looked at the old lady's legs. Her ankle was indeed swollen a lot. It seemed that she had accidentally sprained it.
I looked at the sky and saw that it was going to be dark soon, so I said, "Old lady, do you think this is okay? The party will stay on the mountain tonight. You can come with me and I will take care of you. I will go down the mountain early tomorrow morning."
Then I will carry you down the mountain."
After hearing what I said, the old lady patted my hand, "Young man, I really have to thank you. It's also my old lady's good fortune to meet you today."
"It's okay, old lady, you don't need to be like this." I said.
Then, I squatted down and turned my back to the old lady, "Old lady, come up here! The terrain here is too rugged. Let's find a flat place to rest for the night, and then we will go down the mountain tomorrow morning."
"Okay, okay," the old lady said happily.
Then he sat on my back.
I carried the old lady on my back and started looking for a place. Fortunately, the old lady was not particularly heavy, so I could carry it easily.
But carrying it on my back, I felt something was wrong.
The more I carry the old lady, the more difficult it becomes, as if the old lady's weight is constantly increasing.
How is it possible? Why is it becoming more and more difficult for me to carry the old lady on my back?
"Young man, are you tired? If you are, stop and rest for a while." The old lady said with a smile.
It's just that the old lady's smile at this time made me feel weird, and I felt very uncomfortable.
I freed up a hand to wipe the sweat from my face and said with a smile, "It's okay, I can still persist."
"hehe……"
I carried the old lady on my back and continued walking forward. The old lady was like a mountain to me, weighing me down and making me breathless.
I suddenly thought of a time in Journey to the West, when Sun Wukong fought with the Golden Horn King and the Silver Horn King. The Silver Horn King also turned into an old man and was carried by Sun Wukong.
In the end, Sun Wukong found that what he was cupping was a mountain and he was pressed underneath.
Thinking of this, I felt a chill in my heart. Could it be that this old lady was also transformed into a monster and came to harm me on purpose?
I also thought that in "Alibaba and the Forty Thieves", Alibaba once went on an expedition to the sea, and he was also carrying an old man on his back. It turned out that the old man was turned into a devil. In the end, he pressed on Alibaba and refused to get down.
Alibaba had no choice but to keep carrying the devil.
I discovered that Wu Lu is in Chinese mythology or in Western folk tales. Bad people like to turn into old people and let others carry them, and the people who carry them don't seem to have a good end.
Damn it, could it be that the old lady on my back is really some kind of monster and wants to harm me?
If that's the case, then I'm really unlucky. I'm a good person, but I've been tricked.
"Old lady, I'm a little tired. Let's take a rest! I'm too tired now." I said loudly.
But the old lady didn't react at all.
The old lady must have fallen asleep and didn't hear me, so I said, "Old lady, let's take a rest. I'm really too tired."
"quack……"
The old lady behind me didn't say anything, she just laughed weirdly.
Oops, I'm afraid the old lady on my back is really not a good person.
I turned my head and saw the old lady looking at me with a half-smile, and there was a trace of black energy flowing in her eyes.
My heart sank. Saving my life was the most important thing at this time. I couldn't care about anything else. I grabbed the old lady and wanted to throw her to the ground.
