Chapter 115: Desolate Homeland
Qi Gu did not notice the thrilling scene behind him. He was concentrating on closing the life-protecting formation. Soon, those firework-like runes disappeared in the air. Qi Gu took a few steps back with a pale face and leaned against the trunk of the banyan tree, his thin chest heaving violently.
At this moment, those vines and water corpses turned into endless black powder, drifting in all directions with the night wind and falling into the water and mud of their homeland.
Only the village chief was different from them, his figure remained unchanged. He was the closest, so he ran towards the banyan tree without stopping.
The banyan tree's self-awareness was recovering. It lowered its eyes and saw the village chief and other humans in front of it. It spoke to them with difficulty: "Thank you for not killing me directly, and for taking the trouble to save my life... But I am not worthy of you..."
Although its consciousness was blurred, it could still feel what was happening outside. It could see "itself" killing many villagers and doing many wrong things. In the end, it even wanted to hurt the village chief who planted it.
The tree has no heart, but it feels pain all over its body, which is even more unbearable than when it was tortured by Bai Yu.
"It's not your fault," said the old village chief. "You are a kind tree. The one who made the mistake is the evil ghost who wanted to use you to do evil."
"But I..."
"You will forget, it just takes time." Qi Gu said, "You are a tree with a long lifespan, and you already have spirituality. You will guard here in the future, and you will see Huaishui Village get better, with a thriving population and prosperity."
The banyan tree was a little confused, but was also attracted by the picture described by Qi Gu, and unconsciously revealed its yearning.
【Finally the dust has settled】
[Huaishui Village can start broiler farming in the future. After all, the chickens raised by the village chief are so delicious. The village chief should lead everyone to raise chickens and get rich.]
【Then I will buy it directly】
Later on, the banyan tree and the village chief guarded the village together, and as they wished, they saw Huaishui Village becoming better and better.
The annual rings go around and around, year after year.
…
Qi Gu took out the green bone he had just obtained with his blood-stained hands, and placed it in front of his eyes together with the previous piece to examine it. Then he found that the two pieces could be put together exactly, and the gaps matched each other. Qi Gu did not hesitate to test it, but just turned the two bones back and forth with a heavy look in his eyes, and looked at them for a long time.
[It seems like they can be put together. Gugu should have seen it too. Why don’t you give it a try? 】
[Gugu has his reasons for not trying, so stop worrying about useless things]
Seeing that the formation had been removed, the others breathed a sigh of relief and hurried towards Qi Gu.
Everyone was in a mess. Miao Yue, Pubugesang and Qi Gu, who were holding umbrellas, were already soaked. Mu Xingchen's raincoat was torn to pieces by the water corpses and thrown into the puddle. Only Lin Hanzhi's raincoat was still intact.
Miao Yue and Lin Hanzhi stepped forward, one on each side, to help up the exhausted Qi Gu.
Qi Gu was already very tired, but he frowned and whispered in a rare heavy tone: "There should be quite a few green bones..."
“I don’t know where the others are scattered… If bones like these were scattered in a downtown area, the number of casualties would be unimaginable.”
"Go back first and get some sleep first." Lin Hanzhi looked at his worried face, raised her hand, put her fingertips on his lips, her face gradually turned pale, "Did you vomit blood? Do you have internal injuries?"
"It's okay... I was just in a hurry to finish it, so I used the blood from the tip of my tongue." Qi Gu spoke with his pale lips.
Seeing Lin Hanzhi so worried, he felt happy and sad for some reason.
It was an extremely contradictory emotion.
"Let me see." Lin Hanzhi has always been weak on the show and seldom speaks in such a tough tone. Qi Gu was a little surprised to hear him say this, so he obediently opened his mouth, revealing a small part of his tongue tip that was no longer bleeding but had a bruised wound.
Lin Hanzhi's brows furrowed more and more as he watched. He regretted that he had only been focusing on the center of the formation and had not taken more glances at Qi Gu.
Qi Gu was stared at by Lin Hanzhi's beautiful eyes for a long time. Even those who were not sensitive to this thought felt that this action was not right, so he quickly retracted his tongue and said, "It's just a minor injury, it will heal soon."
"I'll apply medicine for you when we get back." Lin Hanzhi said, taking over most of Qi Gu's weight from Miao Yue, letting him lean on his shoulders, and then squatting down -
Sensing Lin Hanzhi's intention, Qi Gu put his hands on his back and said, "No, I can't let you carry me. You're not in good health."
As he spoke, he looked at Miao Yue who was standing beside him: "Can you do it?"
Miao Yue felt a ray of death from her stepfather. She leaned against Mu Xingchen and covered her chest exaggeratedly: "I am so tired. I really don't have any strength left. Mu Xingchen, please help me walk. Thank you."
The sensible daughter took herself and Mu Xingchen away in a one-for-one exchange, and the only ones Qi Gu could choose were the exhausted weasel, the young Pubugesang, and the very active Lin Hanzhi.
Lin Hanzhi thought the result of this choice was very self-evident. He was about to squat down and carry the person on his back, but he saw Qi Gu stuff the green bone into the purple gold gourd, and then poured out a black pill from the gourd, grabbed the weasel next to him and stuffed it into its mouth.
The weasel took the powerful pill... no, the elixir, and immediately felt that the demonic power that had been consumed in its body became abundant again, even stronger than before. It immediately transformed into a big weasel, grabbed Qi Gu by the collar and threw him onto itself, and dutifully carried the man away from the flooded area.
As for the corpses of my parents, second uncle, third uncle and fourth uncle? Anyway, it is still staying in Huaishui Village, and there is still a long time before it can see them again.
If you don't hug your thigh now, it will never be your turn in the future.
Lin Hanzhi stood there with his head down, his hair covering his eyes, making him look like a broken villain.
No, if I had known this, I wouldn’t have made the sickly characters so popular among people.
[Ah... this scene is inexplicably bleak]
[Brother Queen also failed. Gugu is afraid that he can't do it, so he would rather not let him carry him. Hurry up and do something to prove your physical strength, brother]
[For example, doing hundreds of push-ups in one breath]
【I don’t want to understand it in a second】
