Chapter 108 Li Mazi is recruited
I smiled and said, "You will know naturally then! Now I will arrange for you to do something. As long as you do as I tell you, it will be guaranteed that the villagers will be saved in a few days."
Niu Dazhuang nodded immediately: "Okay, I will do whatever you say."
I said, "After you go back, you tell the villagers that I have already fished up the kneecap and the clay pot, and have already dealt with it, so that they don't be afraid. That's all, leave me the rest."
Niu Dazhuang still looked disbelief.
I shrugged helplessly and said that if I do what I said, there will be no problems.
Niu Dazhuang had no choice but to agree in the end, but before leaving, he told me viciously that if I dared to fool him, I would throw me into the mountains and feed the wolf.
After returning, Niu Dazhuang immediately did what I told him, and I went directly to find the old witch doctor.
The old witch doctor's family is poor, but the cleaning is very clean, and the cabinets, tables and other things are neatly arranged.
It can be seen that the old witch doctor should have been a hardworking woman when he was young.
I don’t know if the old witch doctor doesn’t welcome me or if he treats everyone like that, but he doesn’t have a good attitude towards me. He glanced at me and asked me what’s wrong with me here?
I smiled and asked the old witch doctor what he thought about the villagers’ illnesses?
Will this disease be contagious?
The old witch doctor said impatiently: "How do I know? Anyway, I treat them every day and there is nothing to do."
I asked the old witch doctor again if he could give me an excuse to drink water. Today Niu Dazhuang would lock me up in the Land Temple, and I am afraid he would not eat or drink all night.
The old witch doctor suddenly became excited and said, "Everyone here is like this. If you can't stand it, get out quickly, otherwise you will definitely die here."
I sighed helplessly and said that if I could get out, I would have gotten out long ago. My brother was still locked in the Land Temple. How could I leave?
The old witch doctor didn't say anything, and after a while, he said, "Do you really want to leave?"
I nodded.
"Okay, I can rescue you." The old witch doctor said: "After all, I am also a doctor who saves the lives and heals the wounded. I don't want to see you beaten to death by the villagers. But remember, don't come back after leaving, and don't be found by Gao Dazhuang and others!"
I excitedly asked the old witch doctor what to do?
The old witch doctor asked me to stay in the Land Temple honestly first, and someone would come to save us at night. As for Li Mazi's illness, she could do nothing and could only leave it to fate...
I nodded and said, "Okay, let's wait for our savior tonight."
After saying that, I left. Before leaving, I glanced at the old witch doctor's room.
I returned to the Land Temple, but was told that Li Mazi had been taken to Niu Dazhuang's home.
I had to go to Niu Dazhuang's house to find it, and then I found that the most luxurious tile house in the village was Niu Dazhuang's house. It seems that the treatment we enjoyed has improved a lot in an instant.
When I asked to send Li Mazi back to the Land Temple, Niu Dazhuang was stunned.
"Brother, what do you mean? Do you think our village is not well-received?" Seeing Niu Dazhuang's embarrassing expression on his face, I was too lazy to pay attention to him, so I simply said that this was part of the plan and told him not to think too much.
Even so, Niu Dazhuang was still a little reluctant.
In the end, there was no choice but to carry Li Mazi and walk towards the Tudi Temple.
The Land Temple is still so dilapidated. I didn’t see it clearly that night when it was dark. I regretted it when I came here again during the day.
The walls were cracked, the statues were crooked and spider webs were densely covered with, and even the beams on the top of their heads showed signs of collapse at any time.
Am I asking for trouble?
I laughed at myself, put Li Mazi on the ground, and took a deep breath. Looking at Niu Dazhuang who was about to leave, I shouted: "Village Party Secretary, don't leave, I'll ask you something."
Niu Dazhuang immediately ran forward: "What do you want to ask, just give me instructions."
"I'll ask you, that old witch doctor, it seems that he is not a local person in his accent, right?" I said with a smile, trying to relax Niu Dazhuang.
Niu Dazhuang was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a while. Maybe he was wondering why I suddenly asked him about the old witch doctor?
But he still honestly said to me: "Yes, that old witch doctor is indeed not a local, he married from another place."
"Where did you get married?" I asked, "Where is my hometown?"
Niu Dazhuang hesitated a little, and finally shook his head and said he didn't know.
I already understood 70% or 80% in my heart, and smiled faintly, "Okay, nothing is wrong. Tonight I will ask a few people to guard the well in the village, so I must hide it! If someone goes to the well to fetch water, catch him. Remember not to be tough and treat others well."
Niu Dazhuang was very surprised, saying that since the accident, the villagers had long stopped drinking the water from the well and ran to the mountain spring ten miles away to carry water.
I said impatiently: "Just do what I said, and then there will naturally be someone to fetch water. Remember to be hidden."
Niu Dazhuang glanced at me with a strange look, but he didn't say much and hurriedly ordered.
I checked Li Mazi's injury, but fortunately it did not continue to worsen.
Li Mazi also woke up in a daze and asked me how I was dealing with it? Is his old life still saved?
I comforted and said, "Don't worry! I already have a clear idea about this."
After chatting with Li Mazi for a while, it became dark outside. Niu Dazhuang sent two villagers to deliver dinner to us.
The dinner was quite rich, with dried plums, bacon, and a white-killed chicken. Li Mazi and I were already hungry and started eating it.
After dinner, he lay down to sleep. During this period, Niu Dazhuang came and saw us sleeping. He looked helpless: "Brother, you can still sleep. I am almost nervous now."
I asked, "What are you nervous about?"
Niu Dazhuang said that if the plan fails, the thing will not be able to deal with the villagers more vigorously? He is worried that the situation will be worse by then.
I smiled and said, "Haha, don't worry, this time it will definitely be foolproof."
After seeing Niu Dazhuang off, I finally breathed a sigh of relief and simply lay on the ground and fell asleep wrapped in a blanket.
I didn't know how long I slept, but suddenly I heard someone calling my name. I opened my eyes and found that the sky was completely dark and I couldn't see my five fingers.
At first I thought it was my dream, but I didn't expect that as soon as I closed my eyes, the sound started to sound again.
Before I could figure out what was going on, I was shocked to find that Li Mazi next to me was missing.
I became nervous and whispered Li Mazi, but I didn't get any response.
I was so anxious that I was sweating profusely, and I immediately turned on the flashlight to light it.
The moment I turned on the flashlight, I heard the voice calling me again: "Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang..."
My coma consciousness suddenly became much more awake. I raised the flashlight and followed the sound. After a moment, I found that Li Mazi, who had already lost the ability to move, was standing blankly at the entrance of the Land Temple, looking out the door with a dull expression.
"Li Mazi?" I got goose bumps and asked softly: "Your legs... are you okay?"
Li Mazi turned his head, looked at me blankly, and shouted mechanically again, "Brother Zhang."
When I heard Li Mazi's voice, I felt instantly creepy. The sound was not Li Mazi's at all. Instead, it sounded like a woman. Her tender voice was tender and a little familiar, as if... it was the voice of a little widow at the village head.
The more I heard it, the more I felt it. When I closed my eyes, I felt that the little widow in front of me was standing in front of me.
Li Mazi's face was pale, her brows were frowned into eight characters, and her movements were a little stiff.
My eyes fell on Li Mazi's legs and found that Li Mazi seemed to be a little unsteady even standing, and some dirty liquid flowed down her trouser legs. The scene was very disgusting.
Li Mazi's eyes were dull and obviously not in a state of mind. He was likely not even aware of what he was doing.
I pretended to be calm and said, "It's late, hurry up and go to bed."
But he still ignored me and just turned around slowly, then kicked open the dilapidated door of the Land Temple.
My heart was beating wildly, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on my forehead. This was not like something that a person with sick legs could do. What force was driving him?
I am sure that Li Mazi is not a ghost at all, because what Li Mazi made in her throat was the sound of a little widow at the village head. I have seen that little widow with strong yang energy and blushing cheeks. She is a serious living person.
Then, in this way, it must be the little widow who used some kind of evil technique.
I started to have a headache because the culprit I guessed at first was the old witch doctor, so the designated plans were all aimed at the old witch doctor.
Now a little widow popped up for no reason, which really makes me unable to guard against!
But now it’s too late to regret, so I can only take one step at a time.
Seeing Li Mazi walk out of the Land Temple, I followed closely behind. What I worry most now is whether the two aunts guarding outside the temple will forcibly stop us? I think we are going to escape.
But what is incredible is that the two aunts chatted as if nothing had happened and didn't even look at us. It seemed that they didn't hear such a big noise just now.
