Chapter 525 The other two did not wake up
The man who brought the news had a gloomy expression and shook his head, "Only Xiao Shi woke up, the other two didn't wake up."
Xia Wange lowered her eyes and remained silent. She glanced at the time. There was only one day left, which was twelve hours in total. "Let's go check the time first."
Several people hurried to Xiaoshi's home and saw that Xiaoshi had already sat up and was leaning against the head of the bed, drinking porridge in small sips. Zhou Qingze and Bai Yuyao lived closer to Xiaoshi's home and arrived earlier than Xia Wange. At this time, they were tying copper coins with red thread and tied them around Xiaoshi to suppress his soul.
One is to prevent the soul from being taken away by the mountain god when it is unstable. The other is that if the soul leaves the body for too long, there will be some side effects. The two do this to eliminate the side effects.
"How do you feel?" Xia Wange walked up to Xiao Shi and asked.
Xiao Shi looked at Xia Wange in confusion. Although he hadn't figured out what happened, he knew he almost couldn't wake up. It should be the people in front of him who saved him, so he quickly said, "I feel a little dizzy now, and my body keeps getting hot and cold, but everything else is fine."
Xia Wange nodded. Before she could say anything else, Aunt Li rushed out from the inner room. "Is it Master Xia who is here? Master Xia is here, right?"
"Master Xia! Thank you so much, Master Xia! If it weren't for you, my son would..." At this point, Aunt Li quickly fumbled to pull Xiao Shi, asking him to kneel down with her to Xia Wange, "Xiao Shi, Xiao Shi, come and kneel down to your benefactor, come quickly! If it weren't for her, you would never have come back!"
Seeing that the two men were about to kneel down, Xia Wange quickly moved away and stood beside them. Xiao Shi saw Xia Wange move away and was stunned for a moment.
"You don't have to kneel to me." Xia Wange looked at Xiao Shi and said, "Do you remember anything?"
"I..." Xiao thought for a moment and knocked his head in pain, "I just remember that I seemed to see the chicken mushrooms. When I was about to pick them, I suddenly felt weightless. Then I woke up and it was now."
Xia Wange opened his third eye and looked at Xiao Shi. Seeing that his soul was intact, he nodded and said, "You should have a good rest. I still need to go check on other families."
"Yes, yes, I won't keep you any longer. Master, you can go check on the Wu family and Bian Nizi's cousin. We are fine. We are all fine. Go see if they need red string or something after they wake up. If they don't have enough, just take the one tied to Xiaoshi. We are really fine."
"Thanks to the two of them. If it weren't for them, I might not have come back in an hour. Thanks to them, I am fine now. I am awake now. It's good that I am awake now."
Hearing this, Xia Wange looked at Sister Bian and several villagers in the house. They all shook their heads at Xia Wange.
Xia Wange understood that this was a secret from Aunt Li, not letting her know that the two people had not woken up yet in order to save Xiaoshi...
After leaving Aunt Li's house, Sister Bian said, "Xiao Shi just woke up, and Aunt Li has to stay with him and take care of him. Aunt Li's health is not good. If she knew that the person who saved Xiao Shi was still not awake, she would be overwhelmed with joy and sorrow, and her body would easily collapse. That's why we decided to hide it from her."
"Don't you think it's unfair?" Xia Wange asked in a low voice.
Hearing this, Sister Bian lowered her head and sighed softly, "If he really can't wake up... that's fate. We should think positively. At least one of them is awake now, right? It's also fortunate that my brother and the eldest brother of the Wu family have descendants. Their families can live for the sake of their children. If Xiaoshi died, Aunt Li would not have survived either."
Xia Wange pursed her lips and did not comment on what Sister Bian said.
She had noticed that Sister Bian was very optimistic before, but looking at her sad expression now, she felt that such optimism was built on endless pain, as if she had no choice but to compromise.
Yes, it is the mountain god who has detained the souls of the villagers. What should we do?
God is God, the embodiment of the villagers' faith for generations, and is born out of prayers and hopes. But now their God has changed. In fact, maybe he has not changed. The mountain god has always only hoped that the villagers can live well at the foot of the mountain and does not want them to leave.
It is the times that have changed, not it; it cannot keep up with the times.
"Maybe my brother and Brother Wu woke up before noon." Sister Bian curled her lips and said, "It is said that children's souls are light and float fast. Maybe my brother and his brothers are still floating on the road?"
Hearing this, Xia Wange curled the corner of his mouth and shifted his gaze away, not daring to meet Sister Bian's gaze.
The remaining two are difficult to wake up.
Only letting one of them wake up was like a test from the mountain god, or like the other party was giving her a way out. This signal was telling her not to interfere anymore. This time he compromised, but if she pushed further, the majesty of the mountain god would not allow her to offend...
The few of them went to the second house in silence. His wife was crying. When she saw Xia Wange and Sister Bian coming, she cried even more sadly. She opened her mouth to speak, but didn't know what to say. She wanted to blame someone but didn't know who to blame, so she could only cry.
In fact, there have been cases of people losing their souls in the mountains before. This is the only time in all these years that someone has woken up. She should be happy, but the person who woke up was not her man, so she really couldn't be happy.
The unconscious person was still the same as before, with no improvement. Several people went to Sister Bian's cousin's house again. They were in a heavy mood and no one spoke along the way. When they arrived at Sister Bian's house, everyone was still lifeless. Sister Bian's mother and cousin wanted to give Xia Wange a smile, but in the end they showed a smile that was uglier than crying.
The only lively person in the room should be their one-year-old daughter who could only walk. She kept shouting "Bababa" and "Mamama", picking up things and throwing them everywhere in the room. She had no idea of the adults' worries.
"Let's wait until noon." Zhou Qingze calmly put the reality in front of them, "Noon is their last hope."
If you don't wake up before noon, it means that the mountain god will not let you go. The mountain god is born out of faith, and he will do everything in the morning and will not leave it until the afternoon.
Time passed minute by minute. Xia Wange couldn't stand such a depressing environment anymore, so she went to the rooftop to get some fresh air. Lu Qiu followed her closely.
Xia Wange looked at the end of the road, wanting to wait for her master to come, but as she expected, it seemed that her master would not be able to come.
"In our line of work, not everything can be accomplished." Zhou Qingze also went up to the top floor. "The more you spy on other people's fate, the more you understand what it means to be helpless. We are not gods, and we cannot be perfect. You should let it go."
