Rebirth: I Became a Maggot 2

Finally, it's time to leave that little village. Now that it's time to leave, I'm really a little reluctant. It's like when you're studying at a school or working at a company, after a long time, when you need to leave...

Even if you're going to seek better opportunities or have some grievances about the company, you'll still feel a little reluctant when you leave.

Humans are indeed emotional beings.

Dafu and I slowly flew towards the village entrance.

"Are you sure you want to come with me? I'm going to a very far place," I asked, feeling quite annoyed, as I flew.

After all, I'm going to leave this small mountain village and go to a more distant and even more dangerous place. It's not good for Dafu to keep following me like this.

"Didn't we agree to go together? Do you regret it now?" Dafu said unhappily.

"But I still want to ask you one last time, just in case you regret it. The outside world is really not as simple as you think," I explained.

"I'm not afraid of anything, so why are you afraid?" Dafu said in a straightforward manner.

Sigh, it seems there's no way to persuade Dafu to leave. Anyway, I've said what I needed to say and done what I needed to do. If he insists on staying, then let him stay.

Next, it'll just be a car ride and stuff. I hope we won't encounter any more dangers, right? It'll be good to have someone to chat with along the way, so it won't be so lonely.

Dafu and I waited at the crossroads of the village for a tractor that might pass by. Next to the crossroads was a river with a bridge that had a famous name – Tianyi Bridge.

The water below flowed swiftly, while above stood a magnificent bridge, its name alone exuding power.

Tianyi Bridge, the number one bridge under heaven, was originally just an ordinary bridge, but after getting this name, I instantly felt that this bridge was definitely not simple.

No wonder people say that a name is the key to influencing a person's life. Now, when I look at a bridge, without the name it's just a small bridge, but with this name, it instantly feels more sophisticated.

But the people in this village are really daring, choosing such an overbearing name, aren't they afraid?

“You know, this bridge is pretty imposing, it’s even called Tianyi Bridge,” I said to Dafu next to me.

"What about that bridge?" Dafu asked, quite puzzled.

"Of course it's strange. Tianyi Bridge, the number one bridge under heaven, what a name for that bridge." I said, trying not to laugh.

What lofty ambitions! To name a bridge in a village "Tianyi Bridge"—it seems a bit too audacious.

“Yeah, what’s so strange about it? People in the village never care much about naming their children. They just name them whatever suits them,” Dafu said curiously from the side.

“But the name of this bridge is too domineering. If there were such a domineering bridge, it would make sense to have such a domineering name. But this bridge is just an ordinary bridge, yet it is called Tianyi Bridge. Don’t you find it surprising?” I said from the side.

"What are you thinking? Do you see the river down there? Do you know what it's called?" Dafu asked.

"I don't know," I said honestly.

"The river below is called Tianbao River. Do you know what this road is called?" Dafu continued to ask.

"I don't know," I replied honestly.

“This road is called Road 1,” Dafu continued.

"So, according to you, there are routes two and three?" I asked, quite annoyed. This isn't a bus; why would I need to remember which route it is?

“Yeah, do you think the villagers give every road a nice name?” Dafu explained from the side.

"What does that have to do with the bridge?" I asked, puzzled.

“Tianbao River and Road 1, the bridge over Tianbao River connects to Road 1, so what’s it called if not Tianyi Bridge? It’s the first character of the road and the first character of the river,” Dafu explained.

Wow, is that how it's explained? This name is really random, but it's so domineering!

Just as we were chatting, a stray dog ​​suddenly rushed over from not far away. The stray dog ​​looked extremely dirty, and there was a strong smell of urine wafting from it.

It made me want to avoid it, and I thought I should just bear with it, since the stray dog ​​would just pass by.

But I don't know if it's a problem with my character or if I've just been really unlucky lately. The more I don't want something, the more likely it is to happen to me.

The stray dog ​​actually crawled straight towards me and asked, "Are you going to town?"

Since they've already come over, I can't just pretend I didn't hear anything. After all, I'd be too embarrassed to do something so impolite.

So I said, "Yes, we're waiting for the bus to town."

"No need to wait, get on, I'll give you a ride. I'm going to town too," the stray dog ​​said politely.

"Huh? Take us with you?" I asked, feeling quite annoyed.

"Yes, that's right, I brought you guys. Is there anyone else? Come on up!" the stray dog ​​said enthusiastically.

It was only then that I could see clearly that the stray dog ​​was covered in flies, and its fur was matted and tangled, as it hadn't been bathed in a long time.

Beneath the dry hair were patches of rotten flesh, a common skin disease among those who frequently wandered the village, and it looked exceptionally disgusting.

But this disgusting stray dog ​​found me and said it wanted me to stay on its body so it could take me to town.

Damn it, how am I supposed to get up there? There are flies buzzing around that guy, the kind of flies that you only see when a dog has rotting skin.

"Come on up when I tell you to. Not only will you get a free ride, but you'll also get some food," a fly said to me while sucking on the stray dog's wounds.

Holy crap, could you be any more disgusting? I would never go up there, even if you killed me!

“Okay.” Dafu, who was next to me, readily agreed.

Damn it, Dafu, are you a terrible teammate? Didn't you see I refused? We agreed to wait for the tractor. What if I get on it and they politely offer me rotten meat?

what should I do?

I was practically cursing all of Dafu's ancestors in my mind, but no matter how much I cursed, it was no use; Dafu just flew up happily.

Then she looked at me pitifully and asked, "Aren't you coming up?"

"I'm not going up. I'll just wait for the tractor," I said, feeling quite annoyed.

"No need to wait anymore. The tractor owner's son's brother-in-law's sister is getting married, so they won't be going back to town today," said the fly who had called us up earlier, while eating rotten flesh.
