Wang Jiayang drank a large bowl of wine, looked at Dunzup and said in a deep voice: "Brother, I really believe your words now, but I still have to ask you to help me. Let me ask you, do you have any sacred trees in your home?" ?”
Dunzhu patted his thigh with his right hand and said anxiously: "Oh my brother, why don't you understand what I said! The gods are watching in the sky. If I tell you, you will be punished by the gods! You Aren’t you hurting me by asking this!”
"Brother, that's not what I meant." Wang Jiayang waved his hands quickly and said, "I heard you say before that the sacred trees brought down by the gods grew in the courtyards of villagers' houses. I thought that this sacred tree must have roots.
But look at this sacred tree I picked up in the snow. It has no roots! Even if I drove down the mountain all night, waited until I got to the city, and then flew home, at least several days would have passed. What a sin it would be if this sacred tree rotted on the road.
I ask if you have offered sacred trees at home, just to learn from you. If you have offered sacred trees at home, you can help us ask the gods for instructions. After all, they are all his incarnations. How to offer sacrifices? The gods will definitely be able to give us an answer. of. "
Dunzhu looked confused: "It's not that I don't want to help, but I really don't dare to help! No one has ever tried to take the initiative to talk to the gods. What if I ask the gods for instructions and the gods don't answer? I am angry because of this, so what should I do?"
Wang Jiayang said with a sincere face: "Brother, it is impossible for the gods to be angry. The gods are high above us and are fully aware of our actions. If you think about it carefully, how could we have picked up this sacred tree if it was not the will of the gods
How come I happened to come to your village and drink with you? And you happened to take out the sacred tree I picked up to show you? This is all God’s intentional arrangement! "
After hearing what Wang Jiayang said, Dunzhu's expression still changed and he was very hesitant.
Wang Jiayang smiled and said: "Are you still worried that the gods will punish you? Otherwise, let's go to the village chief to discuss it together now?"
Dunzhu's eyes lit up and he nodded: "This is a good idea. Let's go to the village chief to discuss it!"
"Thank you, brother!" Wang Jiayang quickly pulled Dunzhu up and prepared to go out.
As soon as he stood up, Dunzhu suddenly paused, his face turned pale, he quickly sat back on the chair, shook his head and said: "Well... not today, it's too late now, the village chief should have rested, we will get up early tomorrow , and then go find the village chief together."
"Is it too late?" Wang Jiayang glanced at the clock on the wall. It was only half past eight in the evening.
"Brother, it's only half past eight in the evening. How could the village chief be already asleep? Besides, the matters on my side are related to sacred trees and gods. If such a big thing can't disturb the village chief's sleep, I'm afraid it would be a real blasphemy. Right?" Wang Jiayang said dissatisfied.
Seeing that the big label of blasphemy was about to be slapped on his head, Dunzhu immediately became anxious: "The village chief and I did not blaspheme the gods! We were acting in accordance with the will of the gods!"
"Nonsense! Is it possible that God ordered you to go to bed before 8:30 pm? Or does the village chief have some unknown things to do tonight?" Wang Jiayang also became anxious.
"Don't talk nonsense. This matter is very complicated. I can't say more. Just rest assured. We will go to the village chief tomorrow morning. God will definitely not punish you. You go and have a rest." Dundup Vaguely.
"Then I believe you, brother. Let's go and rest first. We'll go see the village chief together at six o'clock tomorrow morning. Is that okay?" Wang Jiayang asked.
"No problem, no problem." Dunzhu nodded repeatedly.
Everyone stood up one after another, and Wu Liang said drunkenly to himself: "It was originally a happy dinner, but I didn't expect that it involved Shenmu. Fortunately, the three riding brothers didn't come back, otherwise Brother Wang might not be able to take it seriously." Take out this sacred tree and show it to Brother Dundup.
But it's strange to think about it. It's already half past eight in the evening. It's dark and cold outside. The village chief is sleeping at home. Why haven't these three cycling brothers come back yet? Brother Dundup, don’t you think it’s strange? "
Dunzhu's expression changed greatly again, and then he stared at Wu Liang. Seeing him swaying around and chattering about highland barley wine, he was convinced that what he was talking about was drunk, and he quickly stepped forward to hold Wu Liang's arm. , whispered: "There's nothing strange about it.
The three guests brought dry food and tents, and may have ridden to camp far away. There is no guarantee whether they will come back tomorrow. "
Wu Liang didn't seem to hear Dundup's explanation, or had already forgotten the question he just asked. He roared a few songs with great enthusiasm, quickly climbed into his bed with Dundup's help, and fell asleep.
Although Lu Yun was not as talkative as Wu Liang, but like everyone else, he took a standard staggering step and staggered down on his bed.
Dunzup settled Wu Liang and saw that everyone who was full of drunkenness went back to their rooms to sleep. Then he was slightly relieved. When he went downstairs, he saw the three children quietly gathering around him because they had no older brother to discipline them. At the table, you and I drank one cup of highland barley wine.
Dunzhu hesitated for a moment and remained silent until each of the three children drank two large glasses of highland barley wine and their cheeks turned red. Then he walked over and asked them to go back to their houses to sleep.
After everyone fell asleep, Dunzhu stood in the corridor on the second floor for a while. After confirming that everyone was asleep, he quietly went downstairs and walked out quickly.
The moment Dunzhu left the two-story building, Feng Yi's voice rang from the earphones: "Dunzhu is out, Captain Wang, what should we say? Are you looking for the brown-scaled gray vine hidden in the small building, or are you looking for it?" Follow Dunzup to see what’s going on?”
Wang Jiayang said in a deep voice: "Dunzhu went out to report to the village chief that we picked up the brown-scaled gray vine. The village chief couldn't get away at this time. According to Dunzhu, it was related to the instructions of the brown-scaled gray vine. I'm afraid they are going to attack those three cyclists tonight.
Fortunately, our food and wine were not poisoned, which means that the brown-scaled gray vine and the villagers have not yet regarded us as enemies. Presumably, because the brown-scaled gray vine is raised in the homes of the villagers, our presence has not been discovered yet.
Nowadays, the brown-scaled gray vine uses its hallucinogenic ability to control the villagers, which is really difficult to deal with. Now that we have taken down the brown-scaled gray vine from Dunzup's house, it will be easy to scare the snake away.
So we will save people tonight first, and then make a plan to exterminate the brown-scaled gray vine based on the situation. Lu Yun, Wu Liang, Fa Yunfeng, Feng Yi, Gong Meiyin and I followed Dunzhu.
Heping, Fifth Lord, you are responsible for protecting other people staying in the hotel. Everyone should be prepared in the hotel and listen to my instructions at any time. "
