Chapter 4997 5000 [Er Niu Awakens]

The next day, the situation became more serious.

The second sun in the sky, after being shot by Erniu, not only did not weaken, but became even more scorching.

The temperature soared to over 40 degrees Celsius when I woke up early. By noon, it was almost 50 degrees Celsius.

Therefore, ordinary people had no way to go out and could only hide in their houses. Even so, they still sweated frequently and could not stand it.

In addition, rivers, lakes, and even wells had dried up, and there was no way to replenish water, so many people began to become dehydrated. In just one day, at least 3,000 people died in Yanggu County.

Every family was in mourning, every household was celebrating their death, and the sounds of grief could be heard throughout the city.

“Hand over Erniu, hand over Erniu~” The surviving villagers could not help but rush to Dalang’s cake shop and shout angrily, “If he hadn’t wanted to shoot the sun, he wouldn’t have provoked the wrath of heaven and turned it into what it is now!”

"Don't say that. It's not Erniu's fault. He just means well." Uncle Wu quickly stopped them.

"Yes, Brother Erniu shot the sun with good intentions. You can't blame him!" Xiaolongnu also advised.

At this time, Erniu walked out in pain, knelt on the ground, and allowed everyone to scold, insult and beat him.

He knew that it was because he failed to shoot down the sun that he incurred the wrath of heaven, resulting in the death of so many villagers. He was also very sad, very painful, and very self-blaming.

"Erniu, don't do this, get up, get up!" Xiang Nan protected him and said, "That's enough, stop fighting. If you want to blame someone, you should blame God for creating a second sun to harm people.

Did Erniu want to harm you on purpose? If he wanted to harm you, he wouldn't have gone to shoot the sun. Yesterday you followed him and cheered for him, but now you are blaming him? Where is your conscience?"

After being scolded by Xiang Nan, everyone was speechless and eventually dispersed.

"Brother Zhu, thank you, but I'm very upset. If they can vent their anger by hitting me a few times, I'm willing to bear it." Erniu said to Xiang Nan.

"Don't be silly, this is none of your business. It's just God who is unfair and is playing tricks on us." Xiang Nan waved his hand.

……

The next day, the situation worsened.

When I woke up in the morning, the temperature was close to 50 degrees. Sitting in the house felt like a steamer, and being under the sun was like being barbecued.

The people had nowhere to hide, and countless died of heat and thirst. Another four to five thousand people died in one day.

Erniu was very sad when he saw this scene, especially when he saw that the son of Brother Zhang and Sister-in-law Zhang next door had died at the age of nine. He could not bear it anymore.

"Oh God, why are you so unfair! If we adults deserve the retribution, then he is only nine years old and has not yet grown up. What evil has he done and what mistakes has he made? Why won't you let him go?" He couldn't help cursing as he helped the child dig the grave.

"Brother Zhu, can't we really help everyone?" Seeing this tragic scene, Xiaolongnu couldn't help but look at Xiang Nandao.

"If we don't get rid of the second sun, no matter how much we do, it will be in vain." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "This is the evil God who wants to harm people. He deliberately harms people like this. If we help them now, it will only make them linger and live a more painful life."

It's not that he can't save people, but it's useless no matter how many people he saves. Because God uses these lives to stimulate Erniu, let him realize the responsibility he shoulders, and thus complete the mission of shooting the sun.

He finally understood what it meant to be "unkind and cruel, and treat all things as straw dogs". Even if he had boundless magical powers, he could not resist fate.

Otherwise, with his star harvester, he could have harvested the second sun.

That's why he is very worried now. Even if he has the equipment to make water, Xiao Longnu may still turn into a spring. If that happens, it will be really troublesome. ...

At this moment, another person suddenly came out of Erniu's body. It was Houyi, "Erniu~"

"It's you again, you are Hou Yi?" Erniu looked at Hou Yi and saw that he not only looked exactly like himself, but also wore a Victory Robe with a red mark on his forehead. "Why don't you shoot down the sun? Didn't you shoot down nine suns before?"

"No, the problem is not with me, but with you." Houyi waved his hand.

"Me?!" Erniu was stunned and asked puzzledly, "What's my problem?"

"Let me ask you, do you really want to complete the task of shooting down the sun?" Houyi asked.

"Of course I want to, I don't want to be my grandson." Erniu nodded, "But I shot it, and I tried my best, but it was useless."

"No, now you can, you can complete shooting the sun." Houyi looked at Erniu and said.

"I can do it now? Why?" Erniu asked puzzledly. Why couldn't I do it before but I can do it now?

"You have found the answer." Houyi replied.

"I... found the answer?" Erniu was still puzzled, "What answer?"

"An answer to why you want to shoot the sun." Hou Yi explained, "Erniu, when you realize the burden you bear, you will be the strongest man in the world, and you will have unparalleled power.

At this moment, you are an indestructible giant, a true hero."

When Erniu was stunned and still didn't quite understand, Houyi had a flash of inspiration and returned to his body again. In an instant, Erniu's originally dull eyes became firm.

……

"Brother Zhu, what happened to Brother Erniu?" Xiaolongnu asked in confusion.

"Erniu has now fully awakened Houyi's power." Xiang Nan explained, "Houyi shot down the sun to save the people, and although Erniu was loyal and kind before, he did not have the idea or determination to save the people.

He shot arrows and moved stones just to please Chang'e. Now he finally understood the meaning of shooting the sun, so he awakened Houyi's power. "

This is actually the same as the saying "People are light without pressure, and wells cannot produce oil without pressure." Many people become mature and work hard only after they realize that they have responsibilities.

"So that's how it is." Xiaolongnu finally understood.

"Let's go, let's go back together." Xiang Nan said to Xiao Longnu, "Er Niu can officially shoot the sun tomorrow."

As expected, when he returned to Dalang Cake Shop, Erniu found Chang'e and said, "Chang'e, I'm going to shoot the sun tomorrow~"

"What did you call me?" Chang'e was stunned.

"Chang Xiao'e, remember to help me burn three incense sticks when I set off tomorrow." Erniu said solemnly.

Chang'e was stunned, but suddenly found that Erniu's forehead suddenly emitted a red light, "Is this... is this the real fire cloud? How could this be?"

She originally thought that Erniu was not Houyi, and she originally thought that it was just her wishful thinking. But now seeing the fire cloud on Erniu's forehead, she couldn't help but get excited.
