Wu Yu Saves the World

Wu Xie suddenly jumped out of the thick snow, like a beast awakening from hibernation.

His eyes were bright and he looked around as if he was looking for something.

Suddenly, his eyes locked on a shiny object covered in snow.

He walked over carefully and gently brushed away the snow on it, revealing a bronze fish-shaped object. It was the snake-browed bronze fish he had seen in the tomb before.

The appearance of the snake-browed bronze fish instantly brought Wu Xie's thoughts back to that gloomy tomb chamber.

He remembered that he unexpectedly met his third uncle in the tomb, and doubts in his heart surged like a tide.

He couldn't help but ask his uncle why he didn't tell him the truth earlier.

But Wu Sansheng just hurriedly urged him to save his friend quickly, his face full of anxiety and worry.

As they were talking, the entire tomb suddenly shook violently, as if some huge power was awakening underground.

Wu Xie was not paying attention and was crushed by a falling rock. His eyes went dark and he almost lost consciousness.

Fortunately, someone arrived in time and rescued him from danger.

At this moment, Wu Xie stood in the snow, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his inner turmoil.

He took a step forward, but his foot slipped and he rolled down the slope.

He climbed up with difficulty, picked up a wooden stick that fell beside him as support, and continued to move forward.

After a long journey, Wu Xie finally arrived at a village.

He was exhausted, but the doubts and uneasiness in his heart prevented him from stopping.

He saw a group of children playing and walked up to them to ask.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the children ran back home as if they had seen something terrible.

Every household quickly closed their doors, and the entire street was empty in an instant.

Wu Xie's body could no longer hold on; long periods of fatigue and tension had made his nerves extremely fragile.

He was walking on the snow-covered path when he suddenly felt a force coming from behind him, followed by a cold snowball hitting him hard on the back of his head.

His eyes went dark, his body swayed a few times, and finally he fell weakly on the snow.

After an unknown amount of time, Wu Xie woke up in a daze.

He found himself surrounded by a group of villagers wearing heavy cotton jackets, who looked at him curiously with vigilant and puzzled expressions on their faces.

Wu Xie wanted to ask them what happened, but before he could say anything, the villagers scattered like a flock of frightened birds, leaving behind only an empty snowfield and the lonely Wu Xie.

Wu Xie shook his head helplessly, struggled to stand up, walked to a relatively flat place and sat down to rest.

He felt a splitting headache, as if something was constantly hitting his head.

He reached into his backpack, hoping to find some painkillers or something else to relieve his headache. Finally, he found a watch, which was a birthday gift from his third uncle and one of his important items.

As the hands on the watch slowly turned, Wu Xie's eyes suddenly flashed with the figure of Wu Sansheng.

He saw Wu Sanxing's kind smile and heard his warm words, but what followed was a severe headache.

He covered his head with his hands, trying to dispel the painful memories, but those images haunted him like ghosts and he could not get rid of them.

At this moment, Wu Xie suddenly felt someone pulling his backpack hard, and he almost fell to the ground.

He looked back and saw a stranger running away quickly with his backpack.

Xie was stunned for a moment, then reacted quickly and started chasing after him.

He crossed a wood, jumped over a stream, and finally caught up with the stranger on a hillside.

The stranger looked at the panting Wu Xie with a teasing smile on his face.

He threw the backpack to Wu Xie and said.

"No one here will keep you here except me. You come from a place you shouldn't be, and the people here don't welcome you."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Wu Xie grabbed him and asked anxiously.

"Who are you? Why did you steal my backpack? And what's going on here?"

The stranger looked back at him, his eyes revealing a complex emotion.

He sighed and said.

"I'm just a passer-by and don't want to meddle in other people's business. But I can tell you one thing, the people here are plotting against you, so you have to be careful. As for your backpack, I've checked it and nothing is missing. You should leave now and don't come back."

Wu Xie's face was pale at this moment, and his eyes revealed a hint of confusion and helplessness. It was obvious that he had not eaten for a long time.

Seeing this, the stranger took out a steaming sweet potato from his arms and handed it to Wu Xie.

Wu Xie took the sweet potato and began to eat it voraciously, as if he wanted to swallow up all his hunger.

He looked at the stranger gratefully and said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you, I don't remember how I got here. Every time I think about it, I get a severe headache."

The stranger looked at him with a glimmer of sympathy and curiosity in his eyes.

He asked, "Don't you remember how you got down from the forbidden area beside the snowy mountain? It's a mysterious place."

Wu Xie shook his head, his brows furrowed, as if he felt a sharp pain at the memory.

He tried hard to recall, but his mind was only a blur.

The stranger sighed and said.

"No one can come out of that forbidden area alive. It's a miracle that you can escape. However, the people in the village will not welcome outsiders like you. They believe that people who come out of the forbidden area carry an ominous aura."

After hearing this, Wu Xie felt sad.

He didn't know how he got here, nor did he know how to get back.

He could only eat the sweet potatoes silently and try not to think about those troublesome things.

At this time, Wu Xie's eyes fell on a bull horn on the wall. The bull horn was beautifully carved, full of primitive and mysterious atmosphere.

He couldn't help but exclaimed: "This horn is so beautiful."

The stranger looked at him and said.

"This was my coming-of-age gift from my elder sister. She was a brave hunter, but she never came back after she went to the forbidden land."

After hearing this, Wu Xie felt even more heavy-hearted.

Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in his mind. It was his sister Qi Yu. She told him that there were healing pills in the small black bag tied around his waist. As long as he used his mental power to look, he could see it and take it out to heal his wounds. She also told him to be careful and not to be discovered by others, otherwise his life would be in danger.

At night, Wu Xie took out everything in his backpack one by one, and when he took out his wallet, he found two train tickets to Changsha.

Just then, he discovered that the stranger who saved him was busy in the kitchen, so he took the opportunity to take out a healing pill from his storage bag and ate it.

After taking the pill, Wu Xie's headache was quickly relieved, and after a while, Wu Xie's memory returned to normal.

However, he had no idea when he was knocked unconscious, why he was left on the snowy mountain, or about Qi Yu's strange behavior in his mind. It was as if someone had deliberately erased his memories.
