Yao Shunyu stared at Li Maochun in the distance, the confusion in his eyes was no less than that of Li Bai, "You mean there is a problem with our intelligence?"
"Killing people and setting fires with gold belts, repairing bridges and repairing roads but no corpses. These two sentences are misleading. Jiangcheng and the others were also deceived."
Li Bai lowered his voice uncontrollably, with a hint of caution on his face, "Is it possible that the person who spoke to you before was not Jiang Cheng, but a ghost?"
In such an environment, Yao Shunyu's face turned very ugly when he heard these words at first, but after a moment, he shook his head hard and said, "Don't scare yourself, Jiang Cheng is the one on the other end of the phone."
Although he said this, Yao, Shun, and Yu could not explain the situation in front of them. There were no corpses in repairing bridges and roads, but Li Maochun seemed to be getting better and better as he worked. There were 7 obvious potholes on one road, and Li Maochun had filled them up. Four of them have been repaired, and the fifth one is half-way through construction.
The most important thing is that during this period, he encountered nothing, no obstacles, no supernatural events, and no ghosts. This was simply incredible compared to his experience with Li Bai.
But the only thing that pleased Li Bai in Yao, Shun, and Yu was that Li Maochun behaved very normally. From the fear at the beginning to the joy of getting better and better as he worked, it was all written on Li Maochun's face. How could such an "ordinary person" survive? , which is also what Yao, Shun, Yu and Li Bai wanted to see.
But slowly, Yao, Shunyu and Li Bai began to feel something was wrong. It had nothing to do with Li Maochun and this road, but something changed around them.
"You feel it too?" Li Bai lowered his voice.
"Yeah." Yao Shunyu's eyes swept around Li Maochun inch by inch. After a moment, he suddenly paused and noticed a small dry tree.
The tree was about ten meters away from Li Maochun. It didn't have many branches and stood in the middle of several tombs.
After a few seconds, Yao Shunyu seemed to suddenly realize something, and his breathing became rapid, "No! Look at that dead tree, it has moved. Its original position should be between Li Maochun and those barren graves!" "
The atmosphere instantly became weird, and Li Bai slowly opened his eyes, and the next sentence pushed the weird atmosphere to a climax, "It's not that the trees are moving, it's... those barren graves, those barren graves are moving. !」
As if some kind of illusion had been shattered by a word, Yao, Shun, and Yu Li Bai felt gusts of dark wind rolling around them. At this moment, looking at Li Maochun, who was waving a hoe in full swing, there were more than a dozen barren graves around him. Originally, these The barren graves were at least ten meters away from him, but now, the nearest one was less than 5 meters away.
The most important thing is that Li Maochun still knows nothing about it.
Such an afterthought of murderous intent is obviously more dangerous than what Li Bai experienced in Yao, Shun, and Yu. If Li Maochun still has a glimmer of hope, it can only be a race against time to see who will finish the road first, or those barren graves first. Find him.
Stupid people are blessed with stupid things. If Li Maochun's psychological quality were to find out that Huangfen was "hunting" him, he would be so frightened that he couldn't even pick up a hoe. Therefore, Yao, Shunyu and Li Bai could only hope in their hearts that he would hurry up. Faster.
As Li Maochun moved soil more and more frequently, the soil in the big mound was also decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When Li Maochun was loading soil into the basket for the last time, a lot of the soil below the mound was dug away, and the soil above collapsed. Li Maochun seemed to have seen something. He raised his head and was stunned at first. For a moment, then the whole person seemed to be greatly stimulated, and he took a few steps back, and then sat down on the ground, not even caring about the earthen basket in his hand.
[The problem of slow update of new chapters can be solved by
The master once worshiped a statue of a god that should not exist.
Yao and Shunyu stared intently at the statue's exposed shoulders, which still glowed black even under the gloomy night. This reminded him of the giant black hand that appeared in the painting not long ago.
This is obviously the same thing!
Yes...it's the Empress Zhusheng!
Empress Zhusheng came out of the painting and is now hiding in this mound!
Yao, Shunyu and Li Bai all understood now. They truly understood the dangers of tonight's road construction task. If they did not complete the road construction on time, they would be killed by the ghost graves that gradually surrounded them. However, if they wanted to complete the road construction in time and move enough soil, they would have to move a lot of soil. The premise is that as the soil continues to decrease, the Zhusheng Empress hidden in the big mound will inevitably be exposed.
And with Empress Zhusheng breaking away from her bondage, one can imagine Li Maochun's fate.
The two roads before and after are clearly dead ends! Sure enough, there were no corpses in repairing bridges and roads!
But what surprised Yao, Shun, and Li Bai was that Li Maochun did not sit still and wait for death. In the desperate situation, he burst out with unprecedented calmness and execution. Li Maochun looked around, then ran to an abandoned grave with a bamboo basket, where There are many larger rocks.
After collecting some stones, Li Maochun cautiously returned to the big mound, and then used stones of different sizes to pad the excavated soil under the mound. After confirming that it was stable, he tentatively I dug some soil and quickly filled the hole in the road.
"Smart." Li Bai couldn't help but sigh. She used rocks to prevent the mound from collapsing, and then filled it with soil as quickly as possible to complete the task. This was also the best solution she could think of at the moment.
Just when the sixth hole had been filled and the last hole was left, an accident happened.
Li Maochun, who was carefully digging the soil, still lost to reality. The soil on the mound began to collapse. No matter how he tried to block it with rocks, it was still useless. It seemed that the collapse of the mound was only a matter of time, and it would not take more than 5 minutes at most.
It is no longer realistic to dig more soil now. It will only accelerate the collapse. Moreover, the remaining time is not enough for him to fill another pit. The last remaining pit is also the largest one, enough to accommodate him lying down.
"Is this the end?" Li Bai sighed, this was a doomed situation, and Li Maochun had already done a good job.
In the face of things like ghosts that transcend physical limitations and rules, human struggles have always been weak and powerless. All they can do is seek a little bit of hope in the cracks.
But the next second, Li Maochun moved. He did not sit still and wait for death. He picked up the earth basket, turned around and rushed towards the barren grave nearest him with resolute momentum.
