Chapter 36: Annihilation
"None of this is going to happen if you don't go."
There was a sense of pathos in the air, Bai Chen lowered his head and sneered, his voice sounded muffled and angry, even if Xu Shenghan was already dead, he still couldn't forgive.
That year, Heizi escaped death, inquired all the way, found Guanlin Village, and brought the news of Xu Shenghan's death to Bai Jinmei. I thought that Bai Jinmei would collapse, but I didn't expect such a delicate woman to carry all this.
She concealed Xu Shenghan's death, and apart from her, only Kuroko was the only one in the world to know. Alone, guarding this home alone, raising the child as an adult, she endured all the cold words outside.
Waiting is not terrible, but it is a waiting without an end.
She would rather bear such pain alone, and she didn't want Bai Chen to think that she had no father and no complete home since she was a child.
It's just that in the process of the passage of time, there was some deviation, the appearance of three robbers, completely ruined all this, she suffered humiliation, died in the fire, and her son left his hometown, gave up the right to reincarnation, and escaped into the soul pawnshop.
"Yes, it's my fault...... If it weren't for my pursuit of fame and money, things wouldn't have come to this point. Xu Shenghan stood up straight, and his flushed face gradually returned to white.
It was getting dark outside, and it was already night.
Maybe he said it too seriously, or maybe the people who listened were too engrossed, when was there one less person in the temple, Bai Chen and Xu Shenghan didn't find out.
"So far, I won't forgive you for anything you say......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the commotion outside, and fifty or sixty people rushed into Guanlin Village with torches and uniform steps.
Bai Chen straightened up, jumped up, rushed out in a few steps, climbed the tree a few times, and in an instant, there were fires everywhere in sight, oh no, they actually forgot about it, and after all, they really should do it today.
A fire burned all this, what is the point of Brother Sheng giving him this commission?
At this time, I don't know where Li Tang went.
The strange light of the fire surrounded the entire Guanlin Village, and only the old people and children who were dying due to the epidemic were left in the village, and in this situation, there were only sparse cries, but even so, every sound made the hearts of those who listened palpitate.
Li Tang stood in the darkness, as if he was frozen, his eyes staring at the firelight, and his body trembled slightly.
Li Qiusheng! Fu Kaiting! The pain of killing relatives and bones, I will ask you to pay back more!
They only knew that their elder brother Tang Yuanan had escaped by chance, but they didn't know that his younger brother also deserved to die, and was taken in by the soul pawnshop, and it had been twenty years, and it was time to end it.
Li Tang's fists gradually tightened, and his originally indifferent eyes were covered with a layer of bloodthirsty killing.
Gunfire came and went, and the people who entered the village to slaughter were all recruited bandits, who were fed up with the rules and regulations in the army, and as soon as they were released, they were cruel in nature.
"Ahh You let go of me! You scoundrel! ”
Hearing the sound, Li Tang subconsciously turned over, jumped onto the tree, squatted under the cover of the leaves, and watched the situation below vigilantly.
This catastrophe is predestined, even if there is no army of this group of slaughtering villages, Guanlin Village has already been destroyed by the plague, and if it is burned clean, the people above can rest assured, and Guanlin Village will have a chance to start again.
The dog was carried by the back collar and carried in mid-air, holding the slingshot tightly in his hand, and when he had the opportunity to turn around, he made the officer who grabbed him so angry that he took out his gun and aimed it at his head.
Li Tang broke off a branch at hand, aimed it at the officer and threw it over, hit him in the face, wailed, threw the dog's ball, covered his face, did not stand firmly, and leaned back.
"His grandmother's! Who's fucking cheap?! Lao Tzu shot you down! ”
The hand covering his face moved down, and immediately a red mark as thick as two fingers appeared on his face, and he shouted everywhere with his gun, but he didn't see a single person, not even the stinky boy he had just caught.
"Phew! His grandma's! After spitting and scolding a few more words, the hot pain on his face made him even more angry, holding his gun, and shooting at the darkness.
Li Tang squatted in the dark with Goudan'er in his arms, covering his mouth to prevent him from making a sound, until the man left, he let go of his hand, only to find that Goudan'er had already fainted temporarily due to fright and lack of oxygen.
The fire is still spreading, and it is impossible to stop until dawn.
Li Tang glanced at the chaotic crowd in the firelight, and then looked at the fainting child in his arms, just take pity on him, maybe this child really shouldn't die, just like Tang Yuanning back then.
I just hope that he won't be like Tang Yuanning, who has been a Li Tang for twenty years, but he still can't let go of his hatred, and even leaves everything he has now, just for that one to take revenge.
Carrying the dog's ball, Li Tang jumped and disappeared at the junction of darkness and raging fire.
"Uncle Wang! You come with me! ”
Bai Chensheng on the other end dragged Wang Li hard, wanting to take him away with him, whether he was an accomplice or guilty, if it weren't for Wang Li's care, in those years, his life with his mother would have been even worse, and he would have been buried in that fire with Bai Jinmei ten years ago.
"Xiao Chen! Let's go! Leave me alone! This is retribution! Wang Li hugged the fence at the door, but he couldn't break free of Bai Chen, so he had to turn around and beg, "This fire is ten years late, it should have come a long time ago!" ”
Wang Li has always been obsessed with the events of that year, especially after seeing Bai Jinmei's spirit that night, he firmly believes that this plague and this fire are the retribution they did to Bai Jinmei's mother and son back then.
Heavenly reincarnation, what should come is always coming, let him die, this is also a relief for him.
"I beg you! Just beg you, Uncle Wang! Wang Li almost knelt down to Bai Chen, begging bitterly, "Let's go!" Leave me alone! ”
Bai Chen looked at Wang Li in a daze, he was obviously here to save people, why did he look like he was killing someone?
"Let's go!"
Almost using all his strength, he pushed Bai Chen away, jumped into the thatched house that was swallowed by the tongue of fire, just like Bai Jinmei back then, the line of fire between him and Bai Chen was getting bigger and bigger, and through the firelight, all he saw was a figure.
"Retribution! Retribution! ”
Wang Li screamed over and over again in the flames, as if he was crazy, threw his wooden staff, and stumbled around the house with his hands raised in the air a few moments before the thatched hut collapsed.
Bai Chen knelt down with a "pounce" and kowtowed, which was regarded as thanking him for taking care of him over the years.
"Let's go." Li Tang was carrying the fainted dog on his shoulder, and he didn't know when he stood behind Bai Chen, his voice was faint, a little indifferent, and a little sad.
"Hmm."
