Chapter 16: The Old Man in the Deserted Village

Sure enough, as Zhao Cheng expected, on the second day of their ambush, a team of Qin soldiers appeared on their ambush line, and there were many people in the team who were very different from ordinary Qin soldiers in terms of clothing and physical signs, and they seemed to have a relatively high status, and they often pointed fingers at the soldiers who protected them, wantonly insulted, and the Qin soldiers who were bullied did not resist, but just silently endured.

Wen Ying knelt on the ground and asked softly, "What are you going to do?" ”

Zhao Yan was silent for a long time, turned his head, his eyes were full of blazing light, he tried his best to suppress his excitement and said, "I'll rush out first, and if I don't give you a gesture, you won't be allowed to act." You know? ”

Wen Ying was very baffled by Zhao Yan's sudden excitement, but she still nodded obediently.

Zhao Yan glanced at Wen Ying for the last time, every Red Fox soldier is extremely obedient to the leader's orders, even if he dies, he will not hesitate at all, but today, the order he gave to Wen Ying is to let him live.

Wen Ying looked at the back of Zhao Cheng flying out, and seemed to see Zhao Cheng take something out of his arms, and then a scene that he would never forget in his life appeared.

Zhao Yan's whole person was filled with thick purple smoke, like a lit firework with deadly purple smoke to the enemy, and instantly rushed to the ranks of the Qin army, the purple smoke was like a life-threatening noose, everyone who touched it desperately pinched their necks, their faces were flushed, and after struggling in pain, they fell to the ground and could not wake up, the purple smoke did not let go of their corpses, as if they were alive, they pounced on the corpses and devoured them, the corpses were rapidly shrinking, the flesh and blood disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon the corpses were only skin and skeletons.

At first, there were still a few Qin soldiers who blocked the Qi people behind them, trying to stop Zhao Yan's advance, but the poisonous purple smoke was like life, clinging to the weapons of the Qin soldiers, and quickly wrapped around them like snakes, and soon these Qin soldiers also fell to the ground with their necks covered and convulsed.

And the center of the purple smoke, Zhao Yan, continued to fade in the wind, gradually, gradually, disappeared, no blood, no wreckage.

During the whole process, Wen Ying kept holding her arm tightly, did not move, forgot to move, and did not even notice a small wisp of visible purple smoke blowing towards her with the direction of the wind.

The captain, who had just been lying beside him, disappeared without a trace, and if it weren't for the human skeletons on the ground with terrifying expressions, he would rather believe that it was a terrible nightmare.

In the early morning of the third day, in the pale white morning mist, Wu Yong watched a figure wandering on the road in despair, it seemed to be gentle, but the way the figure walked was extremely weird, his legs moved forward stiffly, and after walking to Wu Yong's hiding place, he seemed to feel something, sniffing around with his nose. Wu Yong appeared from the grass and shouted, "Wen Ying! ”

Wen Ying was taken aback, looked at Wu Yong with eyes that were almost all whites, and was speechless for a while. Wu Yong was also taken aback, and he didn't know what to say. After a long time, Wen Ying's eyes rolled and returned to her normal eyes with pupils, and then she reacted and said, "Wu Yong, why are you here?" ”

Wu Yong said strangely: "It was Zhao Qian who ordered me to wait for you here for three days." ”

Wen Ying looked around, sat down on the ground, and muttered, "How did I walk back?" Didn't I snipe Qi with the captain? Why is it back again, Captain? Wen Ying patted her head, unable to remember what had happened in the past three days.

Occasionally, the eyeballs will be flipped to reveal the frightening whites of the eyes.

Wu Yong looked at Wen Ying who was confused, thought of Gan Yin's advice before leaving, understood a little, and still looked at Wen Ying quietly.

After Wen Ying pondered painfully, a purple black shadow suddenly appeared in her mind, drifting in the wind with a terrible scream. jumped up from the ground, grabbed Wu Yong's shoulder, and cried, "The captain is dead...... The captain is dead......" After a while, Wen Ying let go of Wu Yong, took a few steps back, and looked at Wu Yong with suspicious eyes: "Did you already know that the captain would use Ning Bi?" ”

Wu Yong didn't know how to answer, he knew that Zhao Yan was a person who regarded honor above life, and if he and Wen Ying wanted to complete the task of ambushing and killing Qi people, there was no better way than to use Ning Bi. Zhao Yan was looking for death. But Gan Yin had warned them before they set off that they should not use it until absolutely necessary, and once they did, some unforeseen horrors would occur.

Along the way, Wen Ying didn't talk to Wu Yong anymore, he was very resentful that Wu Yong knew Zhao Yan's intentions, but he didn't stop him. The two returned along the path in silence.

The sky slowly darkened, and the two of them walked deep in the mountains, and there were rare lights in the valley in the distance, and when they got closer, they found that it was a small village lying quietly in the valley.

The mountain road soon came to an end, and she couldn't find a way to go down, and when she was looking for it, Wen Ying suddenly pointed with her hand: "Isn't there a road there?" ”

Wu Yong looked over, there was a bright moonlight, and there was indeed a zigzag path winding down, and the road surface was glowing with a faint white light, it was very strange why he didn't find this road just now.

The villagers of the small village had already slept peacefully, and walked past several houses without lights, until they finally came to a dilapidated thatched hut with a faint light. Wu Yong stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a while, the door creaked open, the room was very dark, and he couldn't see who opened the door just now, Wu Yong felt as if the door had opened by itself.

"What's the matter?"

Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from below, and both Wu and Wen were startled, and looked down to see a short, thin old man looking up at them.

There were a few gray hairs swirling on the old man's bare head, his eyes were deep-set, staring at Wu Yong sluggishly, his cheeks were thin without a trace of excess flesh, the dry skin was tightly bound to the craggy skinny bones, wrinkled, and the fingers of the right hand of the lantern were like five dry firewoods, without any flesh. As soon as the mouth opened, a strong stench came to pass.

Wu Yong apologized and said: "Old man, the two of us are in a hurry, passing by the village, we saw the lights on at your house, and we want to spend the night there, I don't know if it's convenient?" ”

The old man turned around and walked into the house, and said coldly, "Come in, there are few people alive in these days." ”

In the house, the old man picked the wick, the dim space was a little brighter, the old man pointed to the earthen kang by the wall and said, "You can stay on the kang with the old man at night." ”

Suddenly there was a sharp whistling outside, like a wind sweeping through the hut. The old man didn't seem to hear it, he was still doing his job, Wen Ying kept his head down since he entered the room, and didn't say a word.
