The villain and I have eight hundred minds combined

Chapter 348: Long Dream (14)

He was wearing an outer coat and was bent over his desk, quickly drawing a picture of an overpass. However, he no longer looked as energetic and high-spirited as she had seen him before.

He was slumped over the desk, looking very tired and very old, and the candlelight beside him could not even illuminate his eyes.

"Mr. Fang?" Mu Hanxing called him softly.

The candle flame went out unexpectedly, as if his entire vitality suddenly disappeared.

He was stunned for a moment, then looked up at her: "You're awake, Axing, can you buy me some porridge?"

He looked much thinner, with dull eyes. Although he still looked young, he didn't seem to have any vitality at all.

"Okay, wait for me." Mu Hanxing turned around and left the workshop.

It was just past midnight and the morning light was dim outside, it was time for the morning market to open.

However, just as she was about to go to the morning market, she was blocked by a group of people at the door of the workshop. The people were all aggressive and ferocious. When they saw her, they rolled their eyes and rushed directly into the workshop.

Seeing that things were not going well, Mu Hanxing quickly stopped the group of people at the door: "Wait, what do you want to do?"

"What are you doing?" The lady pointed into the room angrily, "The whole Xu State is waiting for Fang He's new weapons, but he just put on airs and stopped making them. If we can't buy the goods, we can only wait to die!"

Mu Hanxing frowned. Wasn't this the fault of the king of Xu? Why did he blame him? He was a foreigner, not even a mortal. He came to the world to save the state of Xu just to repay his gratitude. Who did he offend?

Just as I was about to explain the situation to the old lady, another old man interrupted and shouted at the window: "Two days ago, another sea monster came ashore to attack. That's how my husband and I died! Why don't you make weapons anymore? Speak up!"

"Could it be that they are really foreign spies, deliberately coming here to cause trouble?!" another person asked curiously.

"That's right. The king never treated you unfairly when you built ships and weapons before. You stay here all day and don't work. Are you here to eat for free?"

"Thanks to us deifying you before, we all thought that you must be an immortal who could build a ship to ward off monsters! Are you waiting for a good price? I didn't expect... that you are this kind of person?"

"That's right. Do you really want the king to give you a high salary?"

"That's enough!" Mu Hanxing shouted angrily, "Before, he built ships for the safety of the people of Xu State. Now he is considering a new national policy for the king and that's why he doesn't build new weapons. If a large number of weapons are built, the treasury will be empty. By then, there will be no Xu State! You obviously don't know anything, what are you yelling about! You are even spreading rumors about the benefactor who saved you! You are all adults, don't you feel ashamed?"

A group of people were stopped by her shouting and stopped cursing, but a few of them still looked unconvinced.

At this time, Fang He walked out of the house. He was still in low spirits. It must have been related to the curses and rumors spread by these people during this period.

She finally understood that what can destroy a person's spirit is faith.

Rice rises and rice grudges fight rice and hatred.

He was just a little bird like Fengxiao, growing on Jianmu tree. He was innocent, warm-hearted and kind-hearted. He thought that everyone in the world was a good person. When he heard someone scolding him for the first time, his heart must have broken.

It turns out that this world is not as beautiful as he imagined. Not everyone is like the jade-carving girl he met when he was a child, chivalrous, gentle and selfless.

Fang He was obviously a little aggrieved, but he was still trying to excuse those who abused and misunderstood him. He said, "Ah Xing, a large number of sea monsters came ashore a few days ago. When the people from the cultivation world arrived, the disaster had already happened. Many people died at the hands of the monsters. Some of the weapons they had before were no longer useful due to disrepair. Without new weapons, they could not protect themselves and their families... Seeing their loved ones leave, it is inevitable that they would feel resentful for a while."

Mu Hanxing looked back at him and suddenly felt sorry for the little bird.

He also wanted to save the State of Xu. He obviously cared more about it than anyone else.

"What should we do without weapons? What do you think?" Another person, probably thinking of his departed relatives, suddenly burst into tears and asked him while crying.

Fang He told the people at the door in a serious tone: "I will follow the king's wishes and build a sky bridge so that the people of Xu can go directly to the Heavenly Palace. Then, you won't have to be afraid of these monsters on earth anymore!"

After saying this, everyone was stunned.

They didn't know whether the person in front of them was telling the truth or just telling nonsense to fool them.

"What are you talking about? What overpass? What heavenly palace?" someone asked with a frown.

But at this time, one person in the crowd was persuaded. He said, "Wait a minute... I have visited Ningguo before. There is a legend in Ningguo that the whole country will ascend to heaven, so that everyone can live a long life. Is that legend true?"

"Is this... true? Can we also go to the Heavenly Palace to enjoy ourselves?" another person asked curiously.

Fang He took over the conversation and said to everyone righteously: "In short, this is the task assigned to me by the king. I must complete it, otherwise I will not be able to stay here any longer."

Mu Hanxing felt melancholy. This person's stubbornness caused too much psychological pressure on her.

Perhaps it was also related to the fact that he was seriously injured due to rumors before. The more this happened, the more he wanted to prove himself that he had the ability to save all the people of Xu State.

A group of people looked at each other in bewilderment. In the face of life and death, it was difficult for everyone to remain innocent. They just wanted to survive.

So, they stopped their abuse and softened their tone, saying to Fang He, "Mr. Fang, the future of Xu State is in your hands. Please build a sky bridge so that we can go to the heaven. This place... I've had enough!"

Fang He swallowed a mouthful of water: "Okay."

The group of people left the workshop doubtfully.

Will people in a country that suffers from many disasters become less kind?

Mu Hanxing began to ask herself in her heart, but Qihua Island is not like that... The shadow of the tree man disease has shrouded them for many years, and most of the islanders are still united, kind, and full of hope for the future.

As expected, people are all different and each place has its own unique people.

……Why.

After making the decision, she continued to try her best to help him find materials. However, from what he said, the materials for the sky bridge leading to the Heavenly Palace were not ordinary things and needed to be found in the Three Realms. This distracted her for a long distance and she couldn't sleep. After all, she didn't know when it would be when she woke up.

She cast a spell on herself in her dream to make herself alert and refreshed, as if she had drunk a ton of coffee, and then went around the three realms searching day and night for materials to build a bridge. This went on for about seven or eight days.
