Chapter 153, Small Mountain Village
Biyi Village is a small mountain village near Fengxin Forest, she is the westernmost part of the Eastern Continent, it is a dilapidated small mountain village, there are only a few dilapidated earthen houses, and a muddy path leads to the official road in the middle of the earthen house, which leads straight to Tianyu City, passing through the two cities of Eagle Pan City and Star Fall City.
Now several old women sat under the mud hut by the side of the road, their expressions were dull and their eyes were blank, and one of them was holding a baby in her hand, the baby was thin and small, with wrinkled skin, and looked like a newborn kitten, and the woman holding her looked down at him, motionless, and the baby was also motionless, not knowing whether it was alive or dead.
Their eyes were dead, they didn't seem interested in anything, everything seemed meaningless to them, and their appearance was uninteresting.
The mountain village is quiet, with a few birdsong at times.
Suddenly, a few small birds at the top of the tree seemed to be startled by something, and flapped their wings and flew up.
Then one of the women had her eyes fixed on the distance with a look of fear, and then the other did the other, and the woman holding the baby tighter.
It turned out that three people had emerged from the woods beside the path.
One is a very delicate-looking young man, this young man has fair skin, clear eyes, and looks like a girl no matter how he looks.
The other two are five big and three thick. One was bald, the other with loose hair.
The three men had obviously been on the road for a long time, and they all looked like they were dusty, and their clothes were covered with dust, and the clothes on the shoulders of the handsome young man were torn, revealing the white skin inside, and the old women thought to themselves, how could the skin of a boy be so white, whiter than a woman's.
But what frightened them was, of course, not the appearance of this handsome young man, but what this young man was doing, and such a handsome young man should do such a thing.
I saw that he had a thick iron chain in his hand, and the other end was tied to the hand of the young man with loose hair, and the young man pulled the chain, and the young man with the hair took a step forward.
The young man with the hair was even more frightening, his eyes were black, his nostrils were full of nose hair, and his teeth, he had two fangs, and he looked strange, sometimes smirking, sometimes grinning, and the bald young man looked at him with a sad face.
Then the young man with the hair suddenly opened his mouth, and the three women screamed in fright, and turned away from him.
The delicate young man is Jiang Liu, who is dressed as a man, Li Shun is wearing hair, and Fang Qing is bald. Jiang Liu, in order to take Li Shun, who was poisoned by the demon spirit grass, went to the back mountain of Tianyu City to find the Soul Clearing Grass, and he had been on the road in the Fengxin Forest for three weeks.
At this time, they finally walked out of the Fengxin Forest and came to a small village in the westernmost part of the Eastern Continent, which was where they were now, Biyi Village.
Jiang Liu saw that Li Shun was scaring the woman, pulled the iron chain, and said, "Li Shun, you will make me beat you again!"
The bald Fang Qing slapped Li Shun on the back of the head and said, "Spotted, who called you scary!"
A well-behaved look appeared on Li Shun's face again, Jiang Liu sighed, and muttered: "Li Shun, what can I do, you are getting poisoned deeper and deeper, I don't know if I can save you by then!"
Jiang Liu's heart was anxious. Li Shun's situation deteriorated day by day, and at the beginning he was still a little conscious, and he seemed to know them, but the longer the time dragged on, the more stupid he became.
Every now and then he goes berserk.
Initiating a frenzy like a beast, tearing everywhere, grabbing people everywhere, Fang Qing was once scratched by him on the skin, and once he almost bit his throat.
The strength of the frenzy also became enormous, and once, he bit down on a large tree, and his fingernails grabbed the bark of the tree, and the tree was broken by him.
The time interval of madness is also getting smaller and smaller, it used to be once every five days, but now it has become three days, Jiang Liu doesn't know if the time to go crazy will get shorter and shorter.
She didn't know why things became like this, she was originally here to help Sa Ruo find Yang Xiaotian, but she didn't chase Yang Xiaotian, but Li Shun had an accident.
She blames herself deeply these days, if she can't save Li Shun, then how can she be worthy of his father, how can she be worthy of the kind villager in Jiangcun.
Jiang Liu, they hadn't slept for almost three days, they had been on the road day and night, Jiang Liu, she could support it, she was a cultivator after all, but Fang Qing was already too tired to do it.
So Jiang Liu decided to spend the night in this village.
Jiang Liu came to the woman holding the child and said, "Auntie, why are there so few people in your village, have they all gone out to hunt, it's evening now, and it's time to come back!"
The woman craned her neck and did not dare to look at her, and held the child tighter.
Jiang Liu knew that a small mountain village like this was generally full of people who couldn't cultivate, and this woman was probably frightened by Li Shun's appearance, so she said, "Auntie, you don't have to be afraid, my brother is just sick, he will go crazy, so I tied him up, Auntie"
The woman seemed to be even more frightened, and fled with the child in her arms.
Jiang Liu wanted to go to the other two women to ask, but they also fled like ghosts.
Jiang Liu's expression was stunned, and the other party said, "Fang Qing, do I look scary, why did they run away as soon as I asked them!"
Fang Qingdao said: "Spotted, what should I do now? I'm really sleepy!"
Jiang Liu said: "You come and pull Li Shun, I'll go find someone else's house and ask!" The chain bell rang, Fang Qing took it, he was a little scared, and said, "He won't go crazy again!"
Jiang Liu said: "This village is very small, I will come back immediately, it will not be long, and I am afraid of scaring people with him!"
Jiang Liu went from house to house to ask if she could stay at their house for one night, but she found that almost all the houses were empty, with open doors, and there was no one inside, and in some rooms there were still dishes and chopsticks on the tables, and there were rotten meals in the bowls, which were full of flies, and in some rooms there were still burnt rice in the pots, but there was no one.
Something must have happened in this village, almost everyone was gone, and they were taken away while eating, the more Jiang Liu looked for it, the more confused he became.
The door of one of the earthen houses was closed, Jiang Liu went to knock on the door, but heard the cry of the baby inside, and Jiang Liu saw the three women just now through the crack in the door. They snuggled together, trembling.
Jiang Liu said: "Three aunts, we are not bad people"
A woman screamed, "Go!"
Jiang Liu said: "Ah"
One of the women screamed, "Aren't you hurting us badly enough?
Jiang Liu was a little speechless and said, "Auntie, we don't want to harm anyone, we just want to find a place to stay for one night, we are too tired to hurry." ”
One woman said, "Village."
There are so many empty houses in the sub that you can't see them, wherever you go, as long as you stay away from us!"
Jiang Liu left in a daze.
When he went back to find Fang Qing, Fang Qing tied Li Shun to a tree, and he himself hid far away, and when he saw Jiang Liu go back, he quickly ran to her side and said, "Li Shun, Li Shun, he just looked at me drooling! It's terrible, is he still eating people?"
Jiang Liu was speechless for a while.
They found a cleaner house at the end of the village, far away from the three women. Jiang Liu tied Li Shun to the window of the room, tied the chain to the wooden strip of the window, and made him sit on the bed.
Fang Qing cleaned the room briefly, and went to the kitchen to cook and eat, they hadn't eaten a decent meal for a long time, when the meal was cooked, Jiang Liu sent some food to Li Shun, Li Shun didn't use a bowl, he directly grabbed it with his hand and stuffed it into his mouth, and after a while, his face was full of rice, and he licked his fingers vigorously after eating.
His behavior was not at all like the behavior of a normal person, and Jiang Liu looked at him and was secretly worried.
Fang Qingdao said: "Spotted, Jiang Liu, what's going on in this village, it seems that there are only three old women and one child left?"
Jiang Liu said: "It seems that this is the case. ”
Fang Qingdao: "Where have all the people gone here?"
Jiang Liudao: "Who knows?"
Jiang Liu said: "The old woman seems to say that they were killed by someone, and she seems to hate me very much." ”
Fang Qingdao: "They are just people who have not cultivated, who will harm them to do anything?"
Jiang Liudao: "I don't know. She was also curious, but the three women didn't want to talk to her at all, as if she was a demon from somewhere, and was she so terrible?
Night fell quickly. The village became very dark, quiet and dark, and it didn't take long for Li Shun to start snoring. Fang Qing fell asleep not long after eating, he was so tired, even the cultivation that he usually never put down was also put down, his physique has become a lot stronger now, but he still has no spiritual power in his body, he has almost no cultivation talent at all.
Jiang Liu had persuaded him many times to give up, but he said: "I came out with Li Shun and didn't say goodbye to my parents, just to follow you, protect you, and cultivate with you, and now Li Shun has become like this, if I can't succeed in cultivation, how can I have the face to go back!" Jiang Liu knew that he was also a stubborn person.
No matter what kind of person he is, there will be persistence and stubbornness in his heart, Jiang Liu knows that some stubbornness is not so easy to let go, so she no longer persuades him.
Jiang Liu walked out of the room and sat on the threshold, leaning against the door frame, she didn't feel sleepy at all.
There are no stars and no moon in the sky outside, she has never seen such a dark sky, there is no light at all, she is a little uncomfortable with this darkness, her mind is moving, the glass disillusionment slowly rises above her head, the orange light is sprinkled, a point of light appears in her eyes, she remembers what her brother said, I just treat you as a sister, sister
After so long, she still feels a little heartache when she thinks of this sentence, she has loved for so long, but it is just wishful thinking.
She realized that she was missing Yi Feng again, so she shook her head vigorously and asked herself not to think about it, what senior brother likes is Sisi, Sisi.
She stood up and decided to find something to do, to let things occupy her mind.
What can we do?
In addition to cultivation.
