Plant Invasion [End Times]

"Open the door, it's us, Jin Shao, Mr. is injured." A slightly familiar female voice came from outside the door, and he hesitated a little when he called Jin Shao, but Shen Kuo didn't even have time to think about how his villagers treated Jin Shao. Shao's slightly polite address was taken away by the latter sentence.

He froze there.

Injuried?Who is hurt?

Shen Kuo couldn't believe his ears.

When he came back to his senses, he glanced at the villagers who followed him to the entrance of the village to check the situation and the young girl who had just guarded the gate, and he suddenly felt annoyed and anxious.

"What are you still doing in a daze? Open the door!" He said, without waiting for others to do something, he stepped forward and pushed the lock of the door with two clicks.

When he pushed the door, he calmed down a little, turned his head and glanced at the girl whose face had turned pale from his shock, feeling a little regretful in his heart.

He was in a moment of impatience—

Alas, it's too late, let's find a chance to apologize to her later.

Shen Kuo pushed open the bulky gate, and with the "squeak" sound of the steel gate's axle turning, Shen Kuo saw the villagers standing outside the gate carrying various firewood tools on their backs.

Although there was a large group of people standing outside the door, Shen Kuo still noticed Jin Shao at a glance.

It's also hard for him not to notice him at a glance——Jin Shao's clothes are different, and the villagers wear ordinary clothes, at most long-sleeved clothes, as simple as possible, with various colors, only him , all in black, wherever you stand, you are the focus.

But this time, what really made Shen Kuo find him at a glance was not because of his distinctive attire, but because he was carried back by several people.

Jin Shao is a tall man of nearly 1.9 meters, with a strong body, and his weight can be imagined-it cannot be lifted by one person.

In fact, a total of seven people grabbed his limbs, head, and torso, and carried him with difficulty like transporting some cargo.The others clustered around him, with unspeakable worry and fear in their eyes.

fear?What are they afraid of?By the way, what happened?

Shen Kuo rushed forward and asked, "What's wrong with Jin Shao?"

Jin Shao was carried crookedly, and Shen Kuo could only see his spread legs and half of his body—no wounds.

"Village chief, look at him..." Someone wriggled his mouth and hesitated to speak, but before anyone could explain it to Shen Kuo, he rushed to Jin Shao and saw him.

Shen Kuo's heart stopped beating.

Perhaps, it should be "he"?

Time froze all of a sudden, and the surrounding villagers all looked at Shen Kuo anxiously, while the villagers who were carrying Jin Shao bit their lower lips and looked at Shen Kuo nervously.

Following Shen Kuo's silence, they became more and more uneasy, not sure if what they were doing was correct, and the person they were carrying seemed to weigh a thousand catties.

After a long time, Shen Kuo rubbed his facial muscles to make his stiff face more flexible.

He tried to speak, but found that his throat was extremely dry, and he had to make a swallowing movement before speaking slowly:

"Can anyone tell me carefully what happened to you in the jungle? Why did Jin Shao become like this?"

The villagers who went out to collect firewood looked at each other, and suddenly turned their gazes to a girl who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old.

Shen Kuo followed everyone's gaze and found that it was the first girl who was stabbed by a fir leaf in the jungle last time.

"It's you..." Shen Kuo nodded, "Okay, tell me."

Under everyone's gaze, the little girl buried her head and blushed.But now is an important moment, and she doesn't care about being nervous or shy.

"En." The little girl made a sound like a mosquito, then clenched her fists as if mustering courage, raised her head, looked at Shen Kuo, and cleared her throat.

"It's like this..." she said.

"Originally, we were all collecting firewood in the woods, and nothing happened in the first half. There were plenty of fir branches and leaves in the woods, and the space was also large, so we scattered and picked firewood, so at first, none of us found Jin Mr. Shao is gone.

I found that I could probably pick up about three to four baskets of fir branches and leaves each time before, and I probably had some idea of ​​my speed.So after three deliveries outside the woods, I started to prepare to stop and gather back at any time-because I was always very hungry in the morning, so I was thinking about it. "Speaking of this, the girl's face turned slightly red.

"It's not a strange thing." Shen Kuo said, remembering that Jin Shao pitifully begged himself to prepare breakfast when he returned in the morning.

Shen Kuo blinked, trying to ignore the soreness in his heart.

"Go ahead." He said to the little girl.

"Yeah." The little girl nodded vigorously, and then said, "So when I was about to pick up the fourth basket, I gradually realized something was wrong. I was very hungry this morning, so I was absent-minded when I picked up the last basket. Yes, it stands to reason that I would be able to pick up half a basket, but I'm almost full, and Mr. Jin Shao hasn't asked us to gather yet.

So I took out my watch to check the time, who knows—" The little girl paused slightly when she said this, as if she was still immersed in that kind of panic and fear and couldn't get out.

"I looked at my watch, and it was 52:[-]." The little girl made an exaggerated expression.

"That's okay. I hurriedly called other people and asked them why Mr. Jin Shao didn't tell us to go back. Everyone was shocked, and they all asked where Mr. Jin Shao was. After asking, you thought he was in your house. There, he thought he was there, the last couple, Mr. Jin Shao is not anywhere."

"We walked around the fir forest and saw Mr. Jin Shao unconscious at the edge of the fir forest. At that time, he was already 56."

"Seeing Mr. Jin Shao like that, everyone was startled, but time was running out. Everyone was in a hurry, and only a few people ran out with Mr. Jin Shao on their hands."

"Just a little bit, we almost passed the time. Those big trees were shaking. After we ran out of the woods, those trees stretched out their long branches and beat us. Fortunately, we ran fast enough, and No one was hurt."

"After running out of the jungle, everyone started arguing. Mr. Jin Shao became like that. It was good that he didn't care to look carefully when he was running for his life, but after he ran out, everyone was scared to death by him——Mr. Jin Shao became Monster!"

"We don't know if he got some strange disease or was attacked by some horrible plant, or he was some kind of goblin. Everyone was very scared. But he was kind to us, and he didn't really hurt us, and he was in a coma Now, we are worried about him, so we discussed it outside the forest for a while, and finally decided to bring him back and let the village chief see what's going on." At the end, the little girl's voice became weaker and weaker, because Shen Kuo The reaction just now has already explained that he doesn't know how Jin Shao became like this.

Shen Kuo looked at Jin Shao, who didn't know about his personnel, with no expression on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The little girl observed him for a while before opening her mouth cautiously, with a slightly pleading tone: "Village Chief, Mr. Jin Shao is a good man..." The meaning is obvious, and I hope Shen Kuo will not give up on him.

The heaviness in Shen Kuo's heart was dispelled by the little girl's unexpected behavior. He glanced at the little girl in surprise, and then thought that Jin Shao had saved her life.

Shen Kuo nodded in his heart, then looked at the others: "What do you think?"

The villagers, those who went out and those who stayed in the village, shook their heads in silence, the meaning in their eyes was obvious: you are the village head, this is your speech hall, and what you say is what you say.

"Then I'll throw him into the woods." Shen Kuo wrote lightly.

"Village Chief—" Someone couldn't help but speak.

Shen Kuo glanced over, and the others followed his gaze.

It was an old man who spoke. Shen Kuo didn't know her very well, so she must have joined the village later.

Unexpectedly, when she opened her mouth, she would attract so many gazes. The old lady's face flinched, she trembled while leaning on her crutches, and then said tremblingly: "Village chief, this old saying is good, the grace of dripping water When Yongquan reported, this Mr. Jin Shao has helped us a lot, can't he..." No way, the old lady couldn't think of a way, she could only wrinkle her wrinkled face, He looked at Shen Kuo in embarrassment.

"village head……"

"village head……"

"Yes, village chief, can't you think of another way?"

All of a sudden, the villagers pleaded for Jin Shao.

Shen Kuo looked at his villagers, these villagers were aggressive towards Jin Shao two days ago, either you die or I live, but now they are saying good things for Jin Shao who suddenly turned into a monster, the reason is unknown, and the danger is unknown.

Maybe it's because everyone really felt guilty after misunderstanding Jin Shao, and they really let go of their guard against Jin Shao and began to treat him as one of their own.

Maybe they are just soft-hearted for a while, after all, 90.00% of the people present are women, and they are all women who have not experienced any hardships. They will turn against Jin Shao in order to save themselves who they thought were kidnapped, and now they will not know how to look weak because of personnel. Jin Shao begged for mercy.

Of course, what Shen Kuo hopes more is that the villagers will remember Jin Shao's contribution to the village from the bottom of their hearts, and see the kindness he tried his best to show to the village, and because of this, they accept him and regard him as the leader of the village. part.

No matter what, he thought in his heart, Jin Shao, no matter what happened to you, this time, the villagers you tried to believe in should not have disappointed you, right?

The corner of Shen Kuo's mouth hooked up, and when he saw Jin Shao's exposed skin, he suddenly turned it down.

"I think Jin Shao would be very happy if he could hear everyone defending him like this." Under the expectant eyes of the villagers, Shen Kuo said suddenly.

"Village chief, did you agree?" The villagers said happily after understanding what he meant.

"En." He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, walked up to the villagers who were carrying Jin Shao with difficulty, and bent down.

"Just kidding, Jin Shao is a member of our village, how could he give up so easily." He squatted on the ground, propped himself up on one foot, turned his head and said to the people behind him:

"Put it on my back, I'll carry him back first."

"No matter what happened to him and what he has become, at least he hasn't hurt us before, so we can't give up on him."
