Volume 2 The Sin of Tenderness Chapter 8 The Giant Tiger, the Villagers, and the Calamity
The old man leaned against the wall, his hands making a hugging motion, his head tilted, his eyes tightly closed, very peaceful...... Xing'er slept in his arms last night.
Zhao Xue knelt on the ground, trembling her hands, and gently touched the withered yellow, thin arms like dry wood...... Ice, hard, like stone!
He pushed it again, and it felt like he was pushing a wooden shelf......
"Ah~Grandpa~" Zhaoxue pounced and hugged the old blind man, wanting to warm up the cold grandfather, but grandpa was just asleep, he would wake up, would......
He roared silently, tears and saliva mixed and damp on the old blind man's clothes.
Xing'er also ran in, knelt beside Zhaoxue, hugged the painful Zhaoxue, and gently comforted him, grandpa is gone, they have no support, she is now Zhaoxue's support.
The villagers gradually gathered around, and then a person closed the door directly from the outside, saying, "Bring the dry firewood and burn them directly." ”
So, all the villagers worked together, and after a while, all the dry firewood under the high platform was carried over and piled up outside the hut.
"Light the fire directly, and when the auspicious time comes, God will understand us. Mr. Private School said anxiously.
Someone lit the torch, but he hesitated, after all, the auspicious time had not yet come, and he couldn't afford to offend God.
So, he looked at the village chief and handed over the decision to the village chief.
The village chief listened to the roar in the house, thought for a moment, and then put on a cane and said ruthlessly: "Light the fire." ”
Call~
When the dry firewood met the fire, there was something in the summer, and the fire soon exploded, and the villagers couldn't stand the heat wave and retreated.
Smoke gradually rose in the house, the heat wave was rolling, Xing'er couldn't help coughing, and Zhaoxue also coughed because of the smoke inhaled.
The sound of wood being burned came and went, and the cheers outside were so terrifying, Xing'er pulled up Zhaoxue and the old man's corpse and wanted to leave, but he couldn't pull the old man's thin body, and after a short struggle, he had to give up the old man.
However, Zhaoxue didn't leave, and wanted to take the old man with her.
She said in a hoarse voice: "Let's go quickly, grandpa can't take it away, Xiaoxue, go quickly." ”
"I don't want to, I'm going to take my grandfather with me, he can't live without us......" Zhaoxue struggled to pick up the old man, but it was difficult to do so because of prostration.
He fell to his knees again and wept bitterly over the old man's corpse.
A moment later, a beam of the house was burned off, and it fell, and it fell not far from them, sparks and smoke filled the air.
He looked at Xing'er, who was guarding the side with red eyes, his lips trembled, and then he took an old pipe that the old man was carrying and the dry tobacco that the old man bought, and led Xing'er to the door.
Tongues of fire frantically rushed up to the roof, seemingly unable to get out.
Xing'er coughed again and subconsciously leaned on Zhao Xue.
His eyes froze, hugged Xing'er and broke out of the door, Xing'er was frightened by his sudden move, and his mind was blank for a while, so he had to bury his head in his arms.
The villagers cheered, and suddenly saw Zhao Xue break out of the door with Xing'er, who was half a head taller than him, and the flames poured up Zhao Xue's body, igniting his clothes.
Immediately after, an earth-shattering tiger roar came, followed by screams.
Zhao Xue sent Xing'er and rolled back and forth on the ground, Xing'er staggered up and pounced on him, and it took about three snaps of his fingers to extinguish the fire on Zhao Xue's body.
The screams behind the crowd became more and more frequent, and people reacted at this time, and when they looked back, they saw hundreds of fierce beasts rushing towards them.
There were many timberwolves inside, a girdle gray wolf jumped on the roof and finally stopped on the high platform, and a giant tiger with a striped stripe of blood from the corner of its mouth landed on it and let out a roar.
The wolf roared like the laughter of death.
Many monsters that had never been seen before rushed into the village, biting at people, and for a long time, screams came and went.
The young and middle-aged people naturally ran the fastest, and those old and weak women and children could only be eaten by these demon beasts.
Zhao Xue saw that the demon beast was covered, so she hurriedly hugged Xing'er and ran, and ran far away with a snap of her fingers, leaving the demon beast behind.
The person who had been supporting the village chief ran away, Mr. Private School ran away, and all the young and middle-aged people ran away, they could only be the food in the mouth of the demon beast, and as soon as he thought of this, the village chief's legs trembled, and he couldn't move for half a minute.
He trembled and said, "This is the ...... brought by the scourge."
Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, he was pounced on the ground by a wild wolf, and was instantly eaten by several other wild wolves.
Above the clouds, Luofeng Zhi stood on the bow of a flying boat, and the sunspot woman stood beside him.
The woman glanced at the scene in the village and said, "Is it okay?"
He nodded slightly, then turned and hugged a maid into the boat.
The woman's eyes froze......
A powerful force descended from the sky, and all the demon beasts were limited by this power, unable to move, and could only lie on the ground and tremble, instinctive fear invaded their bodies and minds.
The Tiger King's eyes flashed fiercely, and he wanted to jump up, but because of a cold snort, he fell heavily on the high platform, crushing the high platform, dusty, and the wolf king also fell into the ruins.
The villagers and Zhao Xue were also unable to move, for this power, there was only fear, but it was better than those demon beasts with a great sense of crisis.
A moment later, when the dust cleared, the Tiger King had become a mess of flesh, and the Wolf King was trembling on the side.
A woman in black quietly landed on the roof, standing with her hands in her hands, her expression indifferent.
She didn't make any other movements, just stood on the roof, looking in the direction of Qujiang City, as if she was waiting for someone.
Soon, dozens of people came quickly from the direction of Qujiang City, all plainclothes.
The leader was Lan Xuanyi, the city lord of Qujiang City.
He came to the roof, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully to the woman, "Please punish your subordinates for being late." ”
"Alright, get up!" said the woman indifferently.
"Yes. Lan Xuanyi got up and looked at the corner of the village full of minced meat, the burning house, and the trembling demon beasts, especially the tiger that had become a mess of flesh, which seemed to be much stronger than himself.
But Lan Xuanyi had seen some scenes and didn't panic, otherwise he wouldn't have sat in the position of the lord of a city without returning to Yuan.
He said, "What do my subordinates need to do?"
"If you don't need to stay, you don't need to keep it, there is a shortage of manpower in the mountains recently, and labor is needed, so the heavy pupil and the girl are kept. The woman said indifferently again.
Lan Xuanyi arched his hand and said, "Yes." ”
Then, he cleared his throat and was about to give the order, when the woman said, "Do things cleanly, this place is flooded by the tide of beasts, and the young man and the two children are sent to the old place." ”
Lan Xuanyi was about to look back and say "yes", but the woman had already drifted away to the clouds.
Seeing this, he had no choice but to sigh, so he ordered: "Do it." ”
Then, Zhao Xue felt someone knock on the back of her head and lost consciousness.
......
......
When Zhaoxue woke up, they were already in a valley, surrounded by dense forests, and the young men in the village were also there, and Xing'er was lying beside him.
