Chapter 7 Walking in the snow and returning home to see the lonely grave

"Little Brother Wu, what's going on with you here, what about that guy just now?" As soon as Chen Kui came, he saw Wu Ming covered with bloodstains, and he didn't see the mysterious ghost-faced man before, so he immediately became vigilant, so as not to be attacked by that person from the shadows.

Wu Ming waited for the breath in his body to stabilize before he said to Chen Kui: "I fought with that person for a few rounds just now, although I was injured, but he didn't get any better, now he should have run away, Captain Chen don't worry, you better go back first to see how those brothers of yours are, I'll breathe and go back."

Chen Kui exhaled a long breath, sat on the ground, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I went to see over there just now, and I came to look for you after everything was done over there, little brother Wu, you really helped a lot this time."

This group of bandits in this bluestone village has been famous for their murder around the city recently, whether it is a caravan they fancy to, a village or something, as long as they make a move, it must be burning, killing and looting, all evil, there are very few people who can survive in their hands, and there are people from the General's Mansion who are in charge of them before.

As soon as the general left, they all jumped out, but this group of bandits from Qingshi Village generally operated in the location of Qingshui Village and Tianyuan Village in the east of Buluo City.

Little Brother Wu, as soon as you finish breathing, our convoy will set off, and we will not fall into the city overnight, this is too dangerous outside, I heard that there are hundreds of bandits in the Qingshi Village, this time they did not succeed, it is estimated that they will make a comeback, so we have to take precautions as soon as possible. ”

Chen Kui said casually, but he didn't notice that Wu Ming, whose expression had changed dramatically, stood up and tore off a broken jade pendant from his waist and threw it to Chen Kui, and then said: "You take this thing to the General's Mansion, give it to the General's wife, and say that you are my friend, and Madame will naturally take care of you. ”

While he was talking, Wu Ming's figure had left quickly, and Chen Kui noticed that there was a bulging bag on the snow beside Wu Ming just now, and driven by curiosity, he picked up the snowflakes there, and what caught his eye was a dried corpse in a gorgeous costume.

It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that when the general conquered the Kingdom of Beiyue, his two vanguards could command the ghost soldiers of the prefecture, and where they passed, the enemy's blood was lost, like a century-old dry corpse, which was destroyed in the wind, and the enemy generals were all frightened and retreated thirty miles.

After a while, Wu Ming was already some distance away from the Chen family's convoy, and he rode the horse left behind when the bandits fled in the wilderness before, and the one who escaped on the horse in front of him was one of the three strong men who followed the ghost-faced man before, just now, his other two partners were sucked into dry corpses by Wu Ming under his nose.

If he hadn't taken advantage of the chaos to get on the horse and escape, it would probably be a corpse lying on the ground at this time, seeing that Wu Ming was getting closer and closer to his position, his heart was close to collapse, and he slapped on the horse's buttocks, wishing that now a pair of wings grew on his back, and he could quickly leave this terrible place.

"Young man, hero, strong man, please let me go, I don't dare to be a bandit again, the little one will follow you in the future, and you will be a cow and a horse, and you will be a slave and a maid?" the bandit broke down and shouted, Wu Ming continued to pursue with an expressionless face, in his hand, the folding fan had been closed, ready to swing the flying needle in it at any time to give the other party a fatal blow.

The only reason why the other party can live until now is because he wants to keep a living mouth and ask if there is an accident in the pastoral village, he made a mistake to let the other party escape, and what he has to do now is to let the other party's psychology collapse and send it to the door himself.

After chasing for half an hour, Wu Ming was a little upset, the horse under the crotch was not a good horse, it was good to be able to hold on until now, if the other party didn't stop, he could only make a move and cut the other party off the horse.

The snow in the sky was getting heavier and heavier, and there was no sign of stopping, and the cold wind rolled up the snowflakes from Wu Ming's face, bringing a trace of chill, and this chill did not last long, and was dissolved by the aura that was running in Wu Ming's body.

The thief in front of him didn't have this strange aura, and the internal force that the Jianghu people relied on had been exhausted in the process of his escape, and now his only reliance was that the horse under his crotch could hold on, so as not to let the person behind him catch up.

Imagination is always beautiful, but reality is often cruel, and after half an hour, the horse under the bandit's crotch is already overwhelmed and crumbling, the desperate bandit pulls the reins in his hand, the horse roars and stops, the bandit pulls out the long knife he carries with him, and turns around to resist.

It's just that before his head was completely turned, he was pinched by a hand and dragged off his horse and pressed to the ground, and a gloomy young man's voice sounded above his head: "During your evil work in Qingshi Village, did you make a move against Tianyuan Village?"

Feeling the strength of the man's hand on his face, this thief understood that the other party did not let go of himself in the slightest, this murderous big devil, at the end of his life, laughed maniacally: "Are you talking about the little mountain village that wants to give us some crops, fruits and girls, and then exchange for our protection?"

It's a pity, it's a pity, the big boss said, we don't have the spare time to protect those useless villagers, just on the way to a robbery, we were wiped out along the way, the old and the young and beautiful women were snatched back to the village for the enjoyment of the brothers.

That day the whole village was covered with corpses and rivers of blood, and it was ridiculous that the ignorant villagers were still begging us to let them go when they died, why, is there anyone you know among those stupid villagers? Tell me his name, and maybe I can tell you what he wailed before he died, hahahaha. ”

"Those villagers are not stupid, you must remember this, and besides, do you know what it feels like for your blood to leave your body little by little? I used to suck up their blood after killing people, and I didn't ask them if it hurt!"

Wu Ming's expression was indifferent, but thin red lines began to appear on the back of his hand, gradually spreading all over the entire arm, and then, all converged on the mysterious pattern on the arm, with the entry of blood, the pattern began to grow slightly, like a parasite on Wu Ming's body, sucking nutrients to grow up.

The thief's wail was endless, Wu Ming turned a deaf ear, and deliberately slowed down the speed of absorbing blood, and absorbed it for an hour, the other party couldn't bear the pain and swallowed his breath, and after throwing the corpse aside, Wu Ming's face showed a trace of sadness, the fierce just now he disappeared in an instant, and now he is like a child who has forgotten the way home.

Sitting on the ground decadently, clenching his teeth to prevent himself from crying, the tears in his eyes couldn't stop flowing, he never thought that after he woke up from a big dream, the general died, the country was defeated, and now even the village is gone, so he Wu Ming, what is left in this life?

The snow kept falling, Wu Ming stepped on the horse, and went in the direction of the village, the snow was very large, and soon, the corpse of the bandit, the distant horseshoe prints, were tightly covered by snowflakes, leaving no trace.

In front of the pastoral village, there was no light in the village, only the death-like silence, Wu Ming got off the horse, threw the reins aside, and walked to the village step by step.

I remember when I was a child, every time he came back from hunting, he would always catch some small animals in the mountains, pick some beautiful flowers and give them back to the children in the village, when he laughed, he would blow up his thick beard, which looked very funny.

Next to the road is Aunt Li's house selling tofu, she is the earliest person in the village, every day when Wu Ming gets up, you can hear Aunt Li selling tofu.

Next to Aunt Li's house is the only Xiucai Zhang Xiucai family in the village, he has a grumpy wife, often said that he is unproductive, and reading is useless, but she has never really stopped Zhang Xiucai from reading, Wu Ming was able to understand the half of the martial arts cheats given by Old Man Wu, thanks to his help.

In front of him is the little fat house who has been the best friend since he was a child, and there is the village chief's house, which is the peach tree that he often climbs, and in that field, he lost his first tooth because he ran too fast......

Wu Ming looked at the past at a glance, those were all scenes that he was familiar with, but no one he was familiar with came out of the door to greet him, Uncle Zhang didn't, Zhang Xiucai didn't, and neither did the little fat who kept saying that he wanted to go to the General's Mansion to see him.

The heavy snow covered the entire village with a thick layer of white, and Wu Ming's head and shoulders were also covered with snowflakes, and he didn't even reach out to dust them, he was afraid that his slight movement would disturb the wind and snow and disturb their sleep.

After the corner in front of him, there was Old Man Wu's blacksmith shop, Wu Ming's footsteps were getting slower and slower, although he knew in his heart that the tragedy had happened, but he still didn't dare to face it, facing the empty blacksmith shop, where there was no Old Man Wu and Wu Xuening.

After turning the corner, Wu Ming didn't see the familiar blacksmith shop, some were just tombs covered by snow, and wooden tombstones stood there, just thinking that those familiar villagers were standing there, waiting for his return, the cold wind blew, with a whining sound, like their whispers in their ears.
