Chapter 54: The Tenth Night

In order to deal with the possible situation, Liang Jun calculated the distance, drove the car a little farther in advance, left the villagers' residential area, parked near the well at the entrance of the village, and took all the things that could be counted as weapons with her, and threw everything else on the car in order to reduce the load.

When she was packing her things, she felt the gun that Han Li had given her, there were only two bullets left in the gun, and she stayed in the car for a while.

He didn't think about whether to give it back to him, he said that he only had this one gun, and now it was in her hands, and she didn't know what weapon he still had there.

The black pistol echoes Liang Ye's description.

Someone outside the car suddenly called her name, and she was startled and quickly threw the gun back in her bag.

Han Li called her out of the car, explained some possible situations and how to deal with them when the time came, and finally told her, "This is just what I can think of, I have already explained it to Li Lin, if you think of anything, you can also say it, so that Li Lin and He Xiu can be prepared." ”

I have to admit that he made a relatively thorough plan, Liang Jun couldn't think of anything to add for a while, but remembered another thing, "What should He Xiu do tonight, she probably won't be willing to go to the ceremony with us." ”

Even going to the water prison before He Xiu was extremely resistant.

Han Li glanced at her, "It depends on whether you persuade or not." ”

Liang Jun puffed out her mouth, if she was He Xiu, she wouldn't want to go.

Han Li pinched her cheek, "One more thing......

He paused, "If Liang Ye shows up, I hope you can give me a chance to talk to her." ”

Liang Jun was silent for a few seconds.

In the past two days, the two of them tacitly did not mention anything about Liang Ye, after all, Liang Jun still had his own selfish intentions, and so did Han Li, everyone had different positions and could understand it, but it was another matter to spread it out, she was always afraid that he would not be good for Liang Ye in her heart.

After all, for her, Liang Ye, who had been safe and harmless so far, couldn't be confused with the harmful things in the abyss in the village now, but Han Li didn't think so.

But she finally nodded, "If I have the chance, I will definitely let you talk to her, even if I can't...... I'll do my best to ask her if there's a way to save Kiko, and I'll tell you if so. ”

Han Li nodded and took her hand, "If it doesn't go well tonight, I can't take care of you, and you can run away by yourself." ”

She looked at him dumbfounded.

He tried to pull her away, but he couldn't.

She asked him, "You told me all your plans?" ”

He responded naturally: "Of course. ”

"Are you okay to hide from me?"

"Hmm."

Liang Jun still didn't believe it, "If you lie to me again, I will never forgive you in the future." ”

The corners of Han Li's lips slowly hooked up, and he glanced at her with a smile, "Do you want to have a future with me?" ”

She had a straight face, "You are less narcissistic." ”

He held her with his right hand, she could feel the calluses in his palm, he was different from anyone she knew, his past experience of thrilling suffering had molded him into such a man she couldn't fathom at all.

She walked slowly, tugging at his hand, and finally said, "Han Li...... Don't be impulsive, you have to save your sister, don't lose more than you lose in order to destroy the Eye of the Spring, don't do anything irreparable, don't risk yourself. ”

The smile in his eyes froze, and he didn't answer her words again.

It's just that the way back to take her was a little abrupt, counting the time they have known each other, it has been less than a month, and she can actually penetrate his thoughts, because of her in these twenty days of isolation, sometimes it is like an unreal dream, not all bad things.

……

He Xiu really didn't want to go with them to see the demon subjugation ceremony.

He Xiu's face changed when she heard those words, Liang Jun's persuasion a few times not only had no effect, but instead evoked her bad memories, her face was miserable and white, even her lips lost blood, and she shook her head in extreme resistance, "I won't go, I'd rather die than go, Liang Jun, I can't ......"

In the evening, Liang Jun couldn't persuade the result, and he didn't want to embarrass He Xiu anymore, so he proposed to let He Xiu stay in the car first.

Han Li didn't have the heart to care about He Xiu at this moment, so he agreed.

Li Lin was self-reliant, and during the day, he ran outside to find a thick branch, and chopped it with Zhao Cheng's axe, barely making a very primitive weapon, Han Li saw it at night, and helped him cut a little bit so that it could be easily carried.

These days, everyone's mobile phones don't dare to turn on all of them, they all switch to power-saving mode in shifts, Liang Jun's mobile phone is out of power, she charged it with a power bank, looked at the time after turning it on, and stuffed it into her bag.

When it got dark, the village was lit with fire, and many torches were lit on the way to the spring, and a large number of villagers had gathered in front of the spring.

Han Li walked around and roughly estimated that although the village was not large, there were fifty or sixty people at least, and it was necessary to avoid a head-on conflict.

Now they can only hope for Zhao Yingying.

……

Zhao Yingying was escorted forward by the villagers, still dressed in white, but unlike every time she lowered her head and was escorted forward, she looked up at the crowd this time, her eyes swept a few times, and finally locked on the three people on the periphery.

The three men stood in the midst of the villagers, clearly out of place.

She met Han Li's gaze, Han Li nodded lightly at her, and she looked at Liang Jun again, Liang Jun's eyebrows were furrowed, and his eyes were full of worry.

She withdrew her gaze, the corners of her lips curling.

Liang Jun pinched a handful of sweat in his palm.

Timing is very important, the time that belongs to Zhao Yingying may only be a few seconds, she is not sure that even if Zhao Yingying really has this awareness, she can grasp the opportunity.

Zhao Yingying knelt in front of the spring again, this time she didn't hesitate any longer, and when the villager who was holding her turned around, she pulled out the dagger that Liang Jun had hidden under her clothes, and threw her whole body towards the center of the spring.

None of the villagers had reacted.

In fact, there is an incompetent priest in this ceremony, and it is also assigned by the villagers to take on any one of them, and the priest is closest to Zhao Yingying, and he immediately reached out to pull Zhao Yingying.

Zhao Yingying pounced on the white cloth, and before she had time to think about it, the dagger in her hand slashed towards this layer of white cloth that carried all her weight.

For a while, there were screams among the villagers, and the crowd was in a commotion, and the scene was so chaotic that the three people standing on the periphery could not see the situation on the spring in the pushing.

Han Li tightened Liang Jun's hand and adjusted the angle to see that there was no longer a figure of Zhao Yingying on the clear spring.

The load-bearing white cloth was cut out, and from a long distance, all that could be glimpsed through the mouth was a little black.

The villagers were already in a mess, some were still shocked, and some were already anxiously taking a few steps forward, wanting to see what was going on inside the spring, but they hesitated.

And the priest, who was indiscriminate, stood by in a daze, looking at the spring, not daring to come forward.

It is taboo to look at the eye of the spring, even though these villagers want to find Zhao Yingying back for the ceremony, but they still don't have the courage to look at it.

No one had ever experienced such a thing, everyone was at a loss, and the whole venue had strangely gradually quieted down after the commotion, and a few sparse voices were talking.

"What can I do?"

"Whoever will anger the eye of the fountain will surely anger the eye of the fountain ......"

"Would you like to catch another sacrifice to make up for it?"

"It's over, it's all over, and without sacrifices, the Eye of the Spring will definitely make disaster happen again......"

Li Lin's legs were weak at this moment, Liang Jun grabbed Han Li's hand and whispered in his ear, "What do you think of her...... Dead? ”

Han Li didn't speak, just stared in the direction of the spring.

There was still silence.

The village has the Eye of the Spring as the main backbone, and there is not even a leader, and now dozens of people are all in a panic, including the priests, this meeting is undoubtedly ridiculous, Han Li has a bottom in his heart, and takes a step forward, just about to take advantage of the fact that these people have no idea to propose to go and see the Eye of the Spring, but Liang Jun pulled him hard.

Everyone's faces changed.

Li Lin held the branch of the tree that he used as a weapon in his hand, and asked in a cold sweat, "Han Li, what ......is that?" What's that? ”

The white cloth on the top of the fountain was still there, and something slowly poked out of the hole.

It was a black vine with black leaves, but it was as flexible as a human limb, one, two, three......

At the same time, with Izumi as the core, a barrier of red light expanded in an instant, spreading out like an enchantment, enveloping everyone.

The villagers were frightened and retreated, and Han Li protected Liang Jun in the confusion and slowly retreated, seeing that the vines were sticking out more and more.

Li Lin's legs were weak in fright, and he took a few steps back, but he actually fell, Liang Jun frowned and pulled it, and Han Li let go of her hand at this time.

She picked up Li Lin and hurriedly turned back, and the vines seemed to be endless, poking out of the spring at a faster and faster speed, and even expanding an area, forcing the villagers to run faster.

Liang Jun's body stiffened, and she was a little slow to speak because of fear, she asked Han Li, "Is it the Eye of the Spring?" ”

Han Li didn't speak, he didn't retreat again, his hand touched his waist.

Liang Jun watched as he took out a revolver and aimed it at the center of the spring.

She remembered very well that he had already told her that he had given her the only gun.

She was stunned when she heard a scream.

A vine wrapped around a villager's ankle and quickly retracted it, and the villager screamed and struggled, and his body was dragged out of the ground for dozens of meters, and finally dragged into the spring.

The white cloth had been torn apart by the vines, all this happened too quickly, Liang Jun came back to her senses, she didn't dare to be distracted anymore about Han Li lying to her again, she retreated as quickly as she could, looking for cover, and at the same time took out the gun he gave her from her bag, and only two bullets left were better than nothing.

Li Lin originally made a weapon, but at this time he was already scared stupid, turned his head and ran, Liang Jun shouted to Li Lin, "Go to the car first!" I'll go later! ”

She wasn't sure if Li Lin heard it, the scene was too chaotic, the screams were getting louder and louder, and the vines grabbed one villager after another.

It's just that instead of being dragged directly into the spring like the first villager, the vines are like nimble tentacles, grabbing people and lifting them, and throwing them to the ground when they scream.

The panicked screams around her were mixed with painful moans, groans, and cries, and Liang Jun even heard the crisp sound of a villager's bones breaking as their bodies were thrown to the ground, she clenched her gun and looked at Han Li's back.

He was standing in clear range of the vines, and the vines didn't touch him, but when a vine bypassed him to catch a villager, he raised his gun and hit the vine.

Gunshots rang out in the night sky.

The vine broke on the ground, and the back of it twitched as if it felt pain, and some liquid gushed out of it, and Liang Jun could barely see that the liquid was red.

There was a bloody aura in the air, and because of Han Li's shot, those vine movements stopped for a moment.

But soon, another vine passed directly through a villager's chest, provoking the bloody man in front of Han Li, as if it were a demonstration.

Han Li held up his gun, already aiming but not firing.

There are a lot of vines, and if you don't find the source, you can only waste bullets if you hit it like this.

He took two steps forward, and in the center of the vines, something above the spring, floated up.

Liang Jun had also seen that her heart was in her throat, she was clenched by fear, and she couldn't move, because she saw that what slowly came out of it was a person's head.
