Chapter 114 Like

a Bandit It was drizzling again. Lin Du, wearing a bamboo hat, followed Granny Ma on the mountain trail.

"Why do you have to come? Don't you think your face is not scary enough?"

Lin Du pulled out a gauze scarf that he used to cover his face in winter, and wrapped it around the lower half of his face. He covered it with a bamboo hat on the top and the gauze on the bottom, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Is it okay now?"

Granny Ma was silent for a while, "There is no one in the world as troubled as you. Yesterday I asked you to watch the stove, but you insisted on studying some timed formation method. My pot of medicine was almost boiled in vain."

"The girl cried for most of the night and her eyes were about to go blind. I haven't even given her a vision for the future." Lin Du reached out and pinched his ear, "Besides, my consciousness has been released. It's useless for her to just watch. I'm just practicing carving formations casually."

"Then my pot lid was almost blown up by the carving." Granny Ma said calmly.

Lin Du was wearing a black robe today. Even though the material was of excellent quality, the gold threads were densely woven, and the ruby ​​on the crane's head was vivid, in Granny Ma's eyes, he still looked like a bandit.

"It was an accident." Lin Du coughed softly, "My right hand bone was fractured, and I couldn't help it, so I carved it wrong."

To engrave a formation on an object, a slight error could mean a thousand miles, and it required not only a strong mind, but also a steady hand.

Granny Ma looked back at her again, "You haven't answered my first question yet."

Lin Du knew he couldn't get around it, so he coughed lightly, "I just wanted to see, if people who are kept in captivity still know how to be self-reliant?"

Granny Ma glanced at her little bandit follower, "You worry about a lot."

Lin Du didn't say anything, as Granny Ma suddenly grabbed her right wrist, "No, granny, granny, it hurts, it hurts..."

A strange force penetrated into his flesh, and Lin Du suddenly stopped talking and pretended, letting her probe into his wrist bone.

The cold power wrapped around her wrist bone like a snake. "You didn't say a word when Mo Lin broke your wrist, but now you're crying out in pain?"

Lin Du was still able to smile. He could hear the indifference in her words even through the gauze. "It can be healed."

The yin energy was suddenly withdrawn. "No wonder you've been wearing a hard wrist guard these days."

A piece of black plaster was thrown into Lin Du's arms. "Stick it on. It will be healed within five days."

It usually takes more than a month for a young person's bone fracture to heal on its own. For a cultivator who has spiritual energy to nourish it, it will take even faster, but it still takes ten days to half a month.

Lin Du lowered her head and sniffed the smell of the plaster, which was even more chaotic than the medicine she drank. She hesitated again and again, "There won't be any bugs in it?"

"No," said Granny Ma calmly, "but there is something you don't want to know."

Lin Du put away his curiosity, "Then I'd better not ask."

She was very obedient, applying the plaster herself, and then re-fixing the wristband, just in front of Qinglu Village.

The village was still shrouded in mist and rain.

Lin Du entered the village and found that most people were still there. Only four or five young people who were not yet adults entered the city. They maintained their original living conditions. They worked hard to survive these years, and the food given by the Moon Goddess was still a lot.

The well whose bricks had been stolen was rebuilt with evergreen stones. In front of it was an altar with various snacks for blessing. It had been soaked by the rain and seemed to have grown mold. It must have been left unattended for a long time.

Lin Du accompanied Granny Ma to deliver medicine to each household. The excuse he made was that it was a cold spring and without the protection of the Moon Goddess, the children were young and might get sick.

Some people thanked them profusely, while others were hesitant.

Granny Ma and Lin Du did not try to persuade them. Lin Du behaved like a zombie throughout the whole process. He did not speak a word and was only responsible for distributing medicine.

After the last family was sent off, someone asked Granny Ma cautiously, "Do you still want servants? My son is definitely stronger and more capable than the one behind you."

Lin Du was mistaken for a servant. Granny Ma thought that Lin Du must be a mountain bandit, not a servant.

Granny Ma shook her head, and seeing the grayness and worry in the eyes of the family, she finally pointed the way, "You couldn't go up the mountain to pick mountain products before, but now you can. The fields were abandoned, but you can still cultivate them. How can you have no way to make a living?"

The man looked at Granny Ma blankly, "But... we won't..."

Lin Du lowered her eyes, and the plaster on her wrist brought a spicy and cold chill that penetrated into her bones. The cold and spicy taste was not pleasant.

She mechanically followed Granny Ma out of the last house and suddenly spoke, "But a few hundred years, a dozen generations, are enough to completely ruin a person."

Granny Ma did not say anything. Although Lin Du was young, he was always very empathetic about worldly affairs. Such a person was also gifted in spiritual matters, and being sensitive enough was not a bad thing.

"I once thought about this. What if they were not drained of their vitality, had enough food and clothing, and did not need to work? They lived happily for forty or sixty years, and then were harvested again? What would happen?"

"Now the people in Qinglu Village are secretly cursing the Moon God for abandoning them. They can't get food, and they don't know how to survive."

"I think maybe many people are willing to do this. I have even thought about it. Food, clothing, housing and transportation are all arranged by others. I play and daydream all day, and even if I become a human being in the future, I will have enough food."

Granny Ma paused and looked at the thin boy who still covered his face. "You want to be kept in captivity?"

Lin Du paused. "But after looking at it today, I still think that people should always have choices."

"If you are raised as a child from birth, with no choice, that is wrong. The ancestors may have agreed to be raised as sacrifices, but some descendants do not want to be raised in captivity. Those young people who ran away are the answer."

"As the pregnant woman said, people should always have the right to choose freedom."

The sky is high and the sea is vast, the desert is lonely, the river is setting, the south of the Yangtze River is misty and rainy, and the land is frozen. People who are raised and lose their freedom will never understand.

When you lose your labor, creativity, and even your thoughts, is you really a person?

After listening to her, Granny Ma silently put away the curse seal on her hand.

Lin Du didn't know that he was almost turned into a corpse puppet. After leaving the village, he dropped the scarf on his face, and his dark eyes showed a dark light of deep thought. "I just looked over, and many houses that were originally very clean were covered with dust."

"It's the homes of those young people who ran away."

"At least I didn't do a bad thing, at least I gave them a choice."

Granny Ma hummed, "It's not a good thing for you to be too cautious."

Lin Du smiled and said nothing.

She didn't want to become the superhero in the heroic story who picked up the car bought with someone's loan and smashed it at the villain, and even accidentally affected the house bought with someone's mortgage during the battle, and then accidentally smashed the family of the villain with a brick.

Lin Du thought, the wind that was brought up by the butterfly effect should be the wind of hope.

"It will take five days for Mo Lin to eliminate the remaining poison. Then you should hurry up and take him back to your sect to raise him. He makes a mess of my yard every day." Granny Ma said with disdain. She didn't know what she was thinking about, and added, "Your brothers have been really busy these days."

Lin Du's eyes suddenly became sharp, but the smile on his face deepened. "That's right. After all, if you want to completely remove a vine, you have to cut off the roots that are swaying and absorbing vitality first."

"Do you want to hear it?"

Granny Ma said decisively, "No."

Lin Du shrugged regretfully. Feng Yi and Ju Yuan should have collected a lot of treasures this time.

The only thing missing is the weapon shop. There is no news yet.
