No one spoke.
The usually careless people were surprisingly silent at this moment.
Ten years ago, there was a flood, causing grief all along the Xiaoqing River. Countless villagers' homes were destroyed, and their parents, brothers, and uncles were all killed or injured in the disaster.
Hu Tie's father was originally a river worker in charge of Shayuzui. After the flood, he fell into despair. Later, he fell into the Daqing River and even the bones could not be recovered. Later, a plague broke out in the village, and Hu Tie's mother's uncles all died. He was clean and left alone in the world.
So when he heard Mingxi say that this thing could build an impregnable dam, all the anger in his heart disappeared - it was frustrating to be suppressed by a woman, but if it could really solve the flood problem, it would make his father rest in peace for five years. so what? So what about ten years? !
Although he, Hu Tie, is not a hero, he still knows the righteousness. The gray-looking mud in the wooden trough may bring about earth-shaking changes to their village! Such an important matter is more important than the 500 coins given by the Lin family! More important than the five years he was imprisoned! More important than anything else!
She'd better not lie, otherwise...
Otherwise, even if he died, Hu Tie would not suffer in this miserable place for five years! Regardless of whether she is a fake or a real fairy, sooner or later, he will definitely expose her! Then leave here in an upright manner!
Hu Tie remained silent, his emotions fluctuating violently, and he could not calm down for a long time.
The night was getting darker, and the brothers around him fell asleep one by one. They were used to doing nothing on weekdays, and after working hard for a day, they were all very tired, and soon they began to snore.
Only Hu Tie couldn't sleep. He thought of the formula Ming Xi taught him, the tragic death of his parents, the sudden sound from the sky, the wounds on his knees and tongue... his heart was in a state of confusion.
The person lying next to him got up and asked in a low voice: "Brother Tie, are you asleep?"
Hu Tie frowned and said, "No, what are you doing up?"
Shuanzi whispered awkwardly: "I...I need to pee..."
Hu Tie replied: "Go and pee if you feel urgent."
"It's so dark...could there be a ghost..." Shuanzi said aggrievedly, obviously wanting Hu Tie to accompany him.
Hu Tie turned over impatiently, "Didn't you all believe in gods just now? Since gods imprisoned us here, how dare monsters and monsters come here?"
"That's right..." Shuanzi became a little more courageous, glanced left and right, targeted a patch of grass in the distance, and walked over lightly.
Hu Tie closed his eyes and tried to force himself to fall asleep. After waiting for a while, he heard Shuanzi's trembling voice: "Tie...Tie Tie, Brother Tie..."
"What's wrong?!" Hu Tie sat up impatiently and turned to look over.
Under the moonlight, Shuanzi's back kept shaking, and his voice was crying: "...there are snakes! Ah!"
The fear reached its peak, Shuanzi couldn't hold it back anymore, and screamed the moment he turned around and ran back!
The snake on the ground was alarmed almost at the same time, and suddenly jumped out of the grass with half of its slender body!
Hu Tie was horrified, but the next second, a slender white light suddenly flashed in the air! Like the embroidery needle in the hand of the goddess, it pierced the snake in an instant!
The white light disappeared.
The snake also fell to the ground and became motionless.
There is a faint smell of burning in the air.
Hu Tie and Shuanzi were both shocked and stood motionless.
After a while, Mazi said: "Just now...what, what's going on..."
Hu Tie turned around and found that everyone was awake, apparently awakened by Shuanzi's scream just now.
"Shuanzi encountered a snake when he was peeing." He explained simply, picked up a thin branch, walked to the spot where the white light flashed, and then carefully used the branch to pick up the dead snake on the ground.
"My mother..." Shuanzi saw the inverted triangular snake head clearly through the moonlight and couldn't help but shuddered, "This snake has a soldering iron head! If I had been bitten just now, I would have died today!"
Shuanzi knelt down and knelt down desperately in the direction where the white light flashed!
"Thank you gods for blessing! Thank you gods for blessings! Brother Tie, there really are gods! There really are gods here!"
Hu Tie looked at the pierced hole in the poisonous snake's body, and his brain buzzed. Then he threw the branch, hurried to the mold, stretched out a hand, and tentatively put it on -
The brothers behind him didn't know what was going on and gathered around him one after another.
"Brother Tie, what are you doing?"
"What's wrong with this thing?"
"Brother Tie? Why doesn't Brother Tie say anything..."
Hu Tie couldn't believe it, his heartbeat was getting faster and faster. He looked at the cement mixed with gravel in front of him, and then looked at the brothers around him. His heart was like a huge wave, and his mouth opened and closed, but he could only spit out two words. : "It's done."
The dwarf asked: "What happened?"
"She... the cement she said is cement!" Hu Tie took a deep breath, raised his big palm, and slapped it on the solidified cement, making a bang-bang sound.
He couldn't express the joy in his chest and said: "Did you see it? She said that the wooden planks can be removed in three days, but now, it is as hard as a slate! This formula really works! It can really build river embankments!"
Shuanzi nodded vigorously, "This must be the formula of the Immortal Cult!"
Others nodded.
If it was not taught by gods, how could a divorced abandoned woman in Mingxi suddenly become omnipotent?
"Gods really exist...really exist..." Hu Tie muttered like a man possessed, his eyes becoming extremely bright in the dark night.
He suddenly looked at his brothers and said with burning eyes: "We must work hard tomorrow! We must use all our strength to repair the steps up the mountain as soon as possible, so that we can build a Taoist temple for the God of Joy in the future!"
The six village gangsters seemed to have received the baptism of light in this vast dark night, and each of them suddenly became full of faith.
Then the night passed and the sun rose.
Mingxi came to the wasteland to inspect the progress of the project as usual, and found that work was already in full swing!
She couldn't help but look up at the sky, "Huh?... It doesn't seem like it's Chen time yet, right?"
