Thinking of this, I couldn't sit still anymore, so I stood up and walked out of the village. As soon as I took a step forward, I was stopped by Zhang Hazi. He said, what if this is another conspiracy of Xie Chuan? , then if we set off rashly now, is it equivalent to throwing ourselves into a trap?
Conspiracy, what conspiracy? How long has it been, how can I still care about whether it is a conspiracy?
I have already lost Ling Jiang, and I cannot let Wu Tinghan suffer the same fate!
Zhang Hazi said, Ha Tu Tui, have you ever thought that if this calm situation was caused by Xie Chuanji deliberately for us to see?
I was originally very excited, but after hearing this, I immediately calmed down a lot.
Indeed, what Zhang Hazi said is not unreasonable. What if this is an illusion deliberately created by Xie Chuanji? The purpose is to make us think that they are going to intercept Wu Tinghan, but in fact they are waiting for us to leave the village outside the village. How about catching both of us in one fell swoop?
This possibility is not impossible. After all, Xie Chuanji is best at playing with people's hearts.
But calm down, I am still worried. Because no one can guarantee now whether Xie Chuanji is feinting or is really going to trouble Wu Tinghan. If it's the latter, then if we stay here now, it's like waiting for death without saving anything.
If Wu Tinghan has any shortcomings, I will definitely feel guilty and blame myself for the rest of my life!
Zhang Hazi said, so we have to wait until Xie fails to return.
My eyes lit up and I said, are you planning to invite him to go with you?
Zhang Hazi looked at me with contempt and said, do you think he can walk away when something big happened in his village?
Then I don’t understand. Since he can’t leave, why are we waiting for him to come down the mountain? Isn’t this a waste of our time?
Zhang Hazi said, there is something I haven't figured out yet, and I have to wait for him to confirm it.
Haven't everything been clarified? Is there anything else that remains to be clarified? Besides, what's more important than saving Wu Tinghan's life? Couldn't we go and meet Wu Tinghan first, and then come to Xiejia Village to figure out the matter when we have the chance?
Zhang Hazi shook his head decisively and said, no, until this matter is clarified, it is impossible for me to leave Xiejia Village.
Judging from his tone, this matter seems to be very important. But what is it and why do I have no clue?
Zhang Hazi did not explain to me, but sat on the threshold and looked at the path in front of the yard without saying a word, quietly waiting for the arrival of Xie Bugui and his party.
I couldn't be as calm and composed as he was. I anxiously walked back and forth in front of the courtyard, like an ant on a hot pot.
After a while, I saw there was still no sign of Xie Bugui or the others towards the end of the village, so I said to Zhang Hazi, why don't you wait here while I go to the mountain to see what's going on?
If they haven't finished discussing it yet, I can call Xie Bugui down first. It's better than sitting here wasting time.
But Zhang Hazi disagreed and still sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, as if he was asleep.
Time passed by minute by second, and I was very anxious. I wish I had a good voice and could shout so loudly that I could knock Xie Bugui down.
After a while, the sun had completely risen, and the group came down from the mountain. They didn't speak a word along the way, but walked quickly forward with their heads down.
Seeing their appearance, I suddenly became more anxious, because I knew that after burying the person who died in vain, I had to walk to my yard in one breath without stopping or looking back, and most importantly, I couldn't speak. Even if someone calls you, you can't answer.
In other words, Zhang Hazi and I must return to Xie Bugui's house before we can communicate with him.
Watching Xie Bugui and his group walking towards his home, I turned around and was about to follow them, but was stopped by Zhang Hazi again.
He said, let's wait for him here. He has to come back to move the tombstone anyway, so there is no need to waste energy by running back and forth. You go into the house and take out my backpack. I'll need it in a while.
Zhang Hazi spoke very calmly, as if he didn't care about Wu Tinghan's life or death at all. And no matter how I asked, Zhang Hazi still refused to tell me what he wanted to determine.
After a while like this, Xie Bugui finally ran over in a hurry, then looked at us anxiously and asked, what happened again?
I hurriedly said that it was Wu... one of our friends, who was probably ambushed by Xie Chuanji and other craftsmen on the way to your village.
Xie Bugui doesn't know Wu Tinghan, so I can only say that he is our friend.
When Xie Bugui heard this, he immediately made a decision, saying, just wait for me for a moment, I will move the tombstone back, and then I will go rescue people with you.
I was naturally happy to hear his statement like this, but I also knew that Xiejia Village was in chaos now, and there were still many things to deal with, so it was really difficult for him to take Xie Bugui away like this.
So I asked him, has the aftermath of the incident in your village been resolved?
He waved his hand and said, these things can be left to the fellow villagers. Besides, is there anything more important than human life?
Hearing this, I looked at Zhang Hazi, waiting for his decision.
It was also at this time that I seemed to get a glimpse of Zhang Hazi's intentions - he probably wanted to wait for Xie Bugui to express his position, rather than asking him to go on the road with us. Because if we ask, Xie Bugui will definitely agree.
But this is obviously a bit different from him taking the initiative to propose it.
However, my understanding was still wrong.
Because Zhang Hazi directly told Xie Bugui that when you come down the mountain, he actually wanted to ask you to help him. Don't worry, I won't let you leave the village, and I won't put you in trouble. As long as you help take care of Yiha and Tuetu.
Hearing this, I was immediately confused. Before Xie Bugui could speak, I asked Zhang Hazi directly, what do you mean? What does it mean not to leave the village? Do you want me to stay here and go rescue Wu Tinghan by yourself?
Faced with my anger, Zhang Hazi shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Have you got a better way than this?"
I said, of course, it is the best way to go with you.
He shook his head and said, do you think with your ability, you can help if we go together?
…
I was immediately speechless by his question, because I was indeed a burden to top craftsmen like them.
What's more important is that I can't use my advanced craftsmanship skills right now. In other words, even if I go, not only won't I be able to help, Zhang Hazi will also have to prevent me from accidentally using my advanced craftsmanship skills.
This is no longer as simple as a burden, but more like one more enemy!
I can understand Zhang Hazi's concerns, but I don't agree with his approach.
Xie Bugui didn't understand Zhang Hazi's approach at all, because he didn't know that I couldn't use advanced craftsmanship, and he didn't know that I was carrying the fate of his family, so he asked Zhang Hazi directly, With so much power, wouldn't it be safer for the two of us to take him with us than for him to stay here?
Zhang Hazi didn't explain to Xie Bugui, because the secrets about me really couldn't be known to more people, so he asked Xie Bugui directly, in one sentence, can you help me with this?
Xie Bugui shook his head without thinking about it and said, do you think this will work? Let him stay here and you and I will go rescue your friend. There are evil spirits in the village, other craftsmen dare not come in, and Xie Chuanji is not in the village, so he should be fine. Just wait until we rescue your friend and come back to pick him up.
Zhang Hazi asked, what if Xie Chuan plans to come back and visit the seventh-level pagoda again? Do you think he can break it alone? When the time comes, not only will he die, but everyone in your village will die too.
It turns out that this is Zhang Hazi's concern. No wonder he has been refusing to let Xie Bugui go out of the village to help. Indeed, if I stay here alone, I will definitely not be able to break the seventh-level pagoda. After all, I can't even deal with the Inferi that prevent me from approaching the tombstone.
But what I don’t understand is, isn’t it said that the seventh-level pagoda has been cracked? Could Xie Chuan's plan be launched again?
Zhang Hazi said angrily that he was just trying to break his medium. What if he was buried in the coffin himself? Can Hazi use it again?
Hearing this, I was speechless again. Just as Zhang Hazi said, if he lay down in the coffin himself, he would naturally be able to activate the rows and rows again. By that time, I was really helpless.
But I still sigh with emotion. Zhang Hazi is Zhang Hazi. He actually considered all these details that I had never thought of. I don’t know what is in his head and why he can do everything in such detail. The analysis is clear?
Although I know what Zhang Hazi said is correct, I simply cannot accept such an arrangement. Because Zhang Hazi couldn't see, and without me by his side, he might have encountered Wu Tinghan without even realizing it. How could he possibly save Wu Tinghan?
Thinking of this, a thought quickly flashed through my mind, and then I suddenly froze and asked Zhang Hazi directly, are you planning to use yourself as bait to attract the craftsmen who want to deal with Wu Tinghan?
If that's the case, what's the difference between this and going to die? ----Oh, the only difference is that in the final analysis, he is not going to die, but exchanging his life for his life. Take his life in exchange for Wu Tinghan’s and mine!
Haha, Zhang Hazi is really good at calculating. No matter when, he always thinks about maximizing interests. He is so shrewd that it makes people want to cry.
I don't know how to refute Zhang Hazi. Anyway, I will definitely not agree to let me stay here. Even if I really die here, I will never regret it.
And Xie Bugui also spoke at this time, saying, Zhang Hazi, I can't stop helping you just because someone might exist, right? I cannot do this kind of thing Xie Bugui. You have to keep it to yourself. Just tell me your friend's address and I'll go rescue him.
Hearing this, Zhang Hazi nodded with satisfaction, then put on his backpack and said to Xie Bugui, "As long as you say this, I will be old. You will stay in the village to deal with the aftermath and save people." I'm better at this than you are.
After finishing speaking, Zhang Hazi patted me on the shoulder and said to me, OK, I am sure about this matter, haha frustrated, the wind is tight and the wind is blowing!
