The mountain village in the rain seems to be quietly waiting for several spring and autumn.

When Shi Tao approached the village and could see a series of low-rise houses nearby, his vision, which had been limited by the canyon, was completely widened.

Except for the scattered mounds of the uplift, the ground began to level out, and there were some fields on the east and west sides, and the wild rape flowers bloomed freely among the weeds, and the rumbling thunder urged Shi Tao to dispel his desire to spend a moment observing the rape flowers.

The sky is getting darker and darker, thunderstorm clouds are gathering momentum in the distant sky, thunder is like a drum, every time it sounds, the rain will pour a minute, the rain will beat the vision again and again, Shi Tao almost thought it was going to be night.

Wiping the water from his eyes with his sleeve, Shi Tao quickly found a suitable cabin, the main reason why he said that the wooden house was suitable was because the door seemed to be able to be kicked open by man.

"Bang knock!"

The thin wooden door kicked open, Shi Tao rushed in, put Nan Shicai on a broken bed, unloaded the flat burden, and took Wang Yu out of the basket.

"Wang Yu, you are Master Zhou, what kind of perception do you use, look at what is wrong with this girl. ”

"Tell me to heal the waters...... Also, it's not perception, it's feeling. ”

"Don't you always call me by my real name, isn't it the same for feeling and perceiving?"

This was a very common sentence, Wang Yu suddenly remembered that Shi Tao used himself to block the arrow, and suddenly his brain was slightly angry, and he said to each other: "Don't mention the word almost, you just escaped from a strange woman who claims to be almost Mr., you can't distinguish between sense and perception, and you are not afraid that your subordinate Zhou Shi will laugh at him and rebel?"

Shi Tao counterattacked: "Oh! This genius is so powerful, why is there only one head left? Shouldn't it be the execution ground to kill all sides and escape? Now even the man's treasure is gone." ”

"You!"

It wasn't until Nan Shicai's coughing sound didn't stop that their scolding battle was interrupted, and the sword she held in her hand also turned back into an umbrella at this moment.

Shi Tao touched Nan Shicai's forehead and found that his forehead was slightly dry, and there were signs of low-grade fever.

Wang Yu felt that it was too unrighteous to be busy bickering with Nan Shicai, so he quickly shut his mouth, let Shi Tao put himself on the table, and then carefully investigated Nan Shicai's state.

Don't look at don't know, look at a startle, it's not that the situation of Nan Shicai is bad, Wang Yu is frightened by the keenness of his own sensory ability, although he has always been very confident in his senses, but I didn't expect how he was so powerful, Qi just filled into his own seven orifices to see the meridian dynamics of Nan Shicai clearly.

What's going on in my body? It's not something I can see at all!

Don't think about this question for the time being, Wang Yu said to Shi Tao happily: "Shenjing is stable, my heart is slightly sick, it's just that the spirit cauldron is chaotic, it's okay, it's okay, I've already felt that Nanshi is slowly stabilizing the Qi flow." ”

Shi Tao also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, Wang Yu glanced at Nan Shicai, and secretly said in his heart: Her level is the realm of light talent.

Mengxian, Mingnian, Xiaocheng, Guangcai, Dasheng, Luhe, Taicheng, Zhengjun, that is, the eight realms of Zhou Shi, are the path and goal of all Zhou Shi's life, Wang Yu remembers that before he was beheaded, it was also the realm of Mingnian.

is talented at this age, Wang Yu is a little envious.

Three talents circulate, three lights are bright, no wonder the three parts of Yuanchi are stable so quickly.

In the empty room, Shi Tao found a charcoal basin, but he couldn't find charcoal to keep warm, so he could only sit on the cool bench and listen to the rain wordlessly with Wang Yu on the table.

The rain silk is connected into a line, just like a needle, and the entire neighborhood is silent, only hearing the sound of falling needles in the world, which makes the two of them a little hairy.

"Shi Tao, don't you think this village is strange?"

"The hero sees the same thing, the living people come to the village, and there is not even a dog barking. ”

Shi Tao got up, picked up Wang Yu and leaned out of the door of the wooden house, looking left and right, the mud outside was a mess, covered with mud and stagnant water.

This made Wang Yu miss the bluestone road in front of his home, but he was too far away from home, and he would never go back.

The wind gradually subsided, and the darkness that shrouded the sky showed signs of receding, and the rain subsided a little.

The strange combination of Shi Tao and Wang Yu stood under the ownerless roof, looking at the dead and silent village, no matter how they looked around, they couldn't see any human figures.

It seems that the villagers are not hiding, but they do not exist at all.

Just as they had an intuitive understanding of the "deserted village", a panicked footsteps broke into their ears.

Wang Yu also caught two more wheezing sounds than Shi Tao, and instinctively told him that these were two people, one was a hunter and the other was a prey.

"Why can I feel it directly?"

Ignoring Wang Yu's self-talk, Shi Tao grabbed Wang Yu and ran out of the door, didn't run a few steps, ran past two thatched houses and bumped into a large and a small figure not far away, the big one chasing the small one, they were running here along the ridge.

The thin middle-aged man chased a young man, the adult's eyes were fierce, the young man fled for his life, the adult was still holding a short crossbow in his hand, and the clothes of both were patched.

The middle-aged man saw that the young man showed signs of widening the distance, and his breathing was also disordered, and in a hurry, lifting the crossbow was an arrow.

Shooting arrows while running, the natural accuracy was unstable, and the arrows swept over the young man's shoulders, and coincidentally ran towards Shi Tao and Wang Yu.

The sound of arrows breaking through the air made Shi Tao suddenly feel so familiar, and his arm was habitually raised, Wang Yu suddenly felt very familiar, and unconsciously opened his mouth.

Familiar accidents, familiar routines.

Wang Yu's teeth changed, he bit the arrow, and was about to bite it off, when he suddenly wanted to shoot Shi Tao with the arrow, so Yun Qi wanted to turn his head, but Shi Tao grabbed Wang Yu and didn't let him turn his head.

"Shi Tao, you, what are you weak in? You have the ability to block my arrows, and you have the ability to let go! You bastard!"

"Water control...... Calm down, I'm honing you, once you are born and twice cooked, look at the changes and responses just now, your oral work is already as good as fire! Thanks to my teaching!"

When Shi Tao praised Wang Yu's oral work, the young man who fled for his life fell, he was frightened by the crossbow arrow that swept over his shoulder, his footsteps panicked, and he fell into the field, and the middle-aged man immediately caught up, stepped on the young man's abdomen, and leaned over to choke the young man's neck with both hands.

While pinching, he shouted dreamily: "Give me the rotten Ke Ye! I can't live without it!"

Shouting and shouting, the middle-aged man's voice became weaker and weaker, and there was even white foam in his mouth, but the strength in his hand had not been removed, and the young man's was getting redder and redder, and his eyes were becoming more and more fading.

The young man's breath weakened, and the middle-aged man seemed to be satisfied with his sense of revenge, even though he didn't have much strength to speak, he still squeezed out his strength, and whimpered: "I...... Die, you die, die, die, die, die, die, die,

An arrow hit the middle-aged man's right shoulder, and the madness stopped abruptly, and he fell to the side of the road with a muffled scream, but it seemed that he had lost the strength to roll, and he just didn't move.

Seeing this, Shi Tao asked: "It seems to be too ruthless, are you using too much force?"

"No, I don't use my tongue very hard, go and see. Wang Yu was angry with the young man.

The young man was still angry, Shi Tao dragged him away from the middle-aged man, massaged his chest twice, and smoothed the air, the young man's breathing began to be normal, his eyes regained his focus, and as soon as his vision recovered, he was almost scared half to death by the two concerned people in front of him, to be honest, any normal person would be shocked when he saw a strange man with a human head.

Fortunately, the young man's life was hard, and he was stunned to bear it, and gradually found that it seemed that these two people had saved him, this person could speak, and his eyebrows were very clean, not like a ghost.

"My name is Juan, his name is Wang Zhishui, we are passers-by, who are you?

"The Village...... He's dead. ”

The answer was clueless, but Shi Tao felt that this was very appropriate, he knelt on one knee on the wet field, asked the young man to prop up his upper body and lean on himself, pointed to the middle-aged man who fell to the ground, and asked him, "What the hell is going on?"

"He is my uncle, he is addicted to leaves, and he will rot Ke Ye when he sees a living person. ”

As soon as he heard Ye Xian, Shi Tao suddenly understood, and he explained to Wang Yu, who was confused.

Rotten Ke leaves, can be used as medicine, the treatment of asthma has a miraculous effect, but also can invigorate the spirit, the most suitable place for the growth of rotten Ke tree in the whole world is in the south of the Sanguan area.

The boy interjected, "If the medicine is abused, it is no different from poison." ”

Shi Tao nodded, and continued to tell Wang Yu: The land in the Sanguan area is fertile, and it is rumored that Fengshen has also settled in the land of Sanguan and blessed the local fields, and crops can be planted all year round!

Addicted people, known as leaf addicts, do not chew rotten Ke Ye for a day, or do not inhale the smoke produced by burning rotten Ke Ye, they feel that life is meaningless, and when Ye addiction occurs, it is to sell children and daughters, and even kill people in exchange for rotten Ke Ye.

Hearing this, Wang Yu looked at the lifeless village in the rain, "Is this the end of a village?"

The young man smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "It's just the tip of the iceberg, the south...... Tianjing Pass is even more serious, and our Longshu Pass is already good!"

The young man looked at his uncle, who was motionless after being hit by the arrow, lowered his head, and said to himself: "Are you dead? You deserve it! I told you to quit Ye addiction a long time ago, and now it's ......."

The boy looked up at the sky again, and the rain fell mercilessly on his expressionless cheeks and eyes, and then trickled down from the corners of his eyes and cheeks into the muddy fields.

Fields, I don't know how many spring and autumn uncultivated.

He suddenly gushed about the two strangers, Wang Yu and Shi Tao, as if he wanted to express his endless grievances in just these years.

The boy said that his name was Jiang Ping, he was fifteen years old this year, and the whole village gradually became addicted to leaves when he was eight years old.

When his father devoured the pill refined from the rotten Ke Ye, his whole person was fluttering, he was delirious at all, and he fell into the well and drowned.

His grandfather was old, and when he smoked Ke Ye's cigarettes too often, he was so happy that he overdrew his spare strength and died directly.

My sister and grandmother were sold to traffickers by his father very early on in order to buy rotten Ke Ye, and I remember that they were sold to distant places like Li or Xu.

And many more...... Wang Yu couldn't bear to listen carefully, this is a kind of life that he had never touched in his previous days, and through one person's family affairs, he seemed to understand the process of illness and death in the entire village.

Jiang Ping's thin chest rose and fell violently again, and he suddenly pointed at the gray sky in a violent manner, and shouted sharply: "Look at it! Look at this God! I, I ......."

It's not that he can't go on, but he's brewing strength, and he has a lot of things to say.

"In the past eight years, I have begged and knelt down all the hundreds of statues of gods and Buddhas on the mountain! Nothing has changed, nothing has changed from these bastards who are addicted to leaves! On the day my grandma and sister were sold, even if I was beaten half to death by those who killed a thousand knives, I would have begged for it! It was useless! But then I still went!"

Hatred seems to be endless, inexhaustible.

"One day I went to kneel a Buddha statue, after kneeling, I paid tribute with precious rice wine, I looked at the smiling pot-bellied Buddha statue, I suddenly thought, why can it eat enough, why does it laugh so happily?"

Jiang Ping gritted his teeth.

"And then, the more I looked, the more I felt that it was laughing at the fact that the whole people of our village were stupid, stupid people who came and went stupidly, who were addicted to rotten leaves, who couldn't even eat a meal!

Then the cries of the people gradually degenerated into the cry of the beast: "Tell me, who should I hate, and whom shall I seek revenge!"

A confused avenger appeared in front of Wang Yu and Shi Tao in this way.

Shi Tao couldn't help but ask himself, is the avenger with a clear enemy happier than the avenger who is confused, is he more righteous, and has a greater sense of mission?

Shi Tao clenched his fists, "Hmph, revenge is revenge, and it has nothing to do with good and evil." ”

Jiang Ping gritted his teeth and didn't cry at all, for some reason, Wang Yu remembered what he said to everyone at the execution ground that day, "I won't let you go if I'm a ghost!"

Ye addicts are asking for the ultimate pleasure that Rotten Ke Ye brings them, and they don't hesitate to take their loved ones in, while Tianxi and those people are begging for their bodies, asking for strength, and in the end, they are also for pleasure, the former and the latter are a group of flesh and blood devourers.

Jiang Ping's call fell silent, and the heavens and the earth changed back to their old ways, without even a ripple.

The rain fell on the uninhabited village, and the sound of the rain was so clear that even the three people in the field could hear it clearly.

The more clearly I heard, the more miserable the rain became.

The two accompanied Jiang Ping to the village cemetery, and helped Jiang Ping bury his uncle, in fact, the mountain village pays attention to the tomb like that, and no one in the crazy village is responsible for burying people, and only Jiang Ping, who is not contaminated with leaf addiction, is the only one who does this.

In order to discover the almost endless resentment in his chest and abdomen, Jiang Ping went crazy and dug the grave pit with farm tools, and when the farm tools were broken, he used his hands, and he later forgot whose grave it was for, just to vent his strength.

The hideous mountains in the distance looked at the two men and one head in the cemetery, and the mountains seemed to make the thunder stuffy, the wind stopped, and the raindrops were all gone.

Jiang Ping couldn't dig after all, so he could only kneel in the grave endlessly, panting, panting, and crying loudly.

Crying for your powerlessness, crying for your fears, crying for a fate that is difficult to adapt to.

Wang Yu looked at his weeping back, and thought of the girl in the village in a waist-length skirt.

People will mistake anger and hatred for strength and courage, thinking that these emotions can make them resist difficulties and sadness, in fact, anger is just anger, and hatred is just hatred, and one day, anger and hatred will make people overwhelmed, and people will find that they are far from being able to train themselves to be strong, and then they will be defeated.

Wang Yu suddenly had an epiphany: "Relying on hatred alone, not only is it difficult to take revenge, but it will also squeeze yourself out first." ”

Anger and hatred are the rotten leaves of the frustrated, addicted to leaves, and everything is difficult to achieve.

After all, the crying stopped, and the uncle's body was buried and filled with earth.

Jiang Ping tried to wipe away his tears, but found that he couldn't finish wiping them for a while, he struggled for a while, and then looked at Wang Yu solemnly, opened his eyes that were slowly weeping, and said to Wang Yu in a hoarse voice: "You are Master Zhou, can you teach me Zhou Shu? ”

Wang Yu was about to refuse, but Shi Tao took the first step to grab the white: "Boy, Zhou Shu is very difficult, and revenge is not necessarily a good way." ”

"I'm not here for revenge, I'll find Grandma and Sister one day, do I want them to live in a world where rotten leaves are rampant?"

In Jiang Ping's tearful eyes, new power began to sprout.

Wang Yu was stunned all of a sudden, he saw a new flame from this young man, that is, after remembering the old road in his heart, he was determined to create the future full of fighting spirit.

The rain cleared, and the night was dark.

In the corner of the night, the rape flowers are silently venting their fragrance, quietly announcing to the world: the sting is far away, and the spring equinox is coming.
