Chapter 11: The River of Blood (2)

It was another gray day, and Xiaohai opened his eyes tiredly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

He lay on the hard bed and stayed quietly for a long time before getting up. After moving his sore wrist and neck, Xiao Hai looked at the wall in a daze, his eyes were blank, he didn't know what he was thinking, and after about a moment, he stretched out his dirty fingers and scratched a horizontal line on the earthen wall.

There are exactly three "positive" words after writing.

It's been fifteen days...

During this time, every day is very uneventful, even boring. There was no one, Xiao Hai shuttled through the streets and alleys every day, from day to night, and when he was sleepy, he found a random earthen house to sleep in, and then engraved the time recorded the day before on the wall.

Cycle.

Even so, the environment in which he lived remained unchanged, the same atmosphere, the same buildings, the same desolation.

If he hadn't seen the sloping tower in the open space at the end of the road, he would have thought he had fallen into a labyrinth.

The sun emits a tiny amount of light, hiding in layers of clouds.

The tower was like an old man standing on his back, showing a very fragile slope, slightly off the right path, but it seemed to collapse at any moment. It was hidden in the mist, revealing a black body that appeared to be out of nowhere. Xiao Hai rubbed his eyes and walked over stupidly.

The air was filled with dust or haze-white particles, and the view was always blurry, and the closer you got to the tower, the heavier the fog became. It seems to be right in front of you, but you can't get there. The fog grew bigger and bigger, and before you knew it, it was so hazy that you couldn't see it at all. Suddenly, a burnt smell faintly permeated the surroundings, Xiao Hai paused, and continued walking, but the smell was getting bigger and bigger, and the temperature was getting higher and higher, so hot that Xiao Hai couldn't breathe. He choked and coughed and covered his nose. Suddenly, Xiao Hai was shocked, and he felt more and more that it seemed that this white mist was not fog, but white smoke after the fire!

This sudden thought made Xiao Hai stop.

He covered his mouth and nose with one hand, and waved weakly with the other, and he only felt that his throat and eyes were choked by this strange white. Turning, stumbling on his feet, he seemed to hit something and fell to the ground.

The palms of his hands were hot, and the temperature on the ground was surprisingly high, and the thick sand was as hot as ashes in the fire.

"Boom!" "Boom!" Boom! ”

A sonorous thrust sounded in the white curtain, like the vent of wood smashing on the ground.

Xiao Hai got up vigilantly, squinted his eyes and forced himself to look around.

The surrounding white is surprisingly quiet.

Long...

"Rubbing" lightly....

Footsteps....

"挲挲" "挲挲"... Getting closer...

More than one person ....

"挲挲" "挲挲" "挲挲"

... Walk in a hurry...

I can't tell the direction anymore, what is it?

Suddenly! There was a flowing black shadow wrapped around the white mist! It's like a white cloth soaked in black water, gradually getting darker, and then all the colors change with a "swoop"!

This is...... This..... Seeing this black shadow getting closer and closer, Xiao Hai's eyes widened!

This black turned out to be flowing hair!!!

The overwhelming long hair swept in, embattled.

"Boom...."

The eerie cry was mixed in the hair, and it was particularly bleak.

"Boom, boom...," the crying continued.

Is it coming again? What will it be this time?

Xiao Hai looked around in confusion, he was already surrounded and couldn't get through!

I can't hide it....

Looks like.......

Xiao Hai closed his eyes and searched for the source of the cry, which was hidden in the flowing strands of hair, changing direction as it turned. He took a deep breath, slowly lifted his feet, and walked towards the sound with his instincts.

......

"She'll be back sooner or later."

......

Xiao Hai's head sounded the words that the old man said, although there were still many situations he didn't understand, but after so many experiences, he would definitely not be able to hide by himself! He wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in the gourds of these things! It's a big deal! Anyway, now I am like the body of the walking dead, in this place where people are not ghosts and ghosts! It's nothing to be dead!

Call....

He continued to close his eyes and calm himself.

"Boom Boom ....."

The voice seemed to be on the left, then to the right, and then before he could walk over, it became the back again.

Xiao Hai was sure that there was only one voice, and this master seemed to be afraid of something, so he deliberately avoided himself.

What are you afraid of?

He stood still, still taking a deep breath with his eyes closed, and then suddenly walked over quickly and stretched out his hand! At this moment, the voice that had not appeared for a long time sounded: "Stop!!" ”

It's the voice of the brother! Xiao Hai suddenly opened his eyes!

But it's too late......

Beneath the dense hair was a pale face, covered with tears.

A woman, looking up at him.

The strange thing is that she is obviously in front of her, but her facial features are blurred, as if covered with the mist left by the glass in winter, he desperately wants to see her appearance clearly, but he can't do anything.

The woman's vague mouth trembled up and down, and she hugged herself and curled up in a ball, even if it was blurred, Xiao Hai could clearly feel her horror and despair.

She was looking at him.

Dark, blurry, tearful eyes.

Xiao Hai thought that he would see a skeleton, or a bloody face, or something even more terrifying. But he didn't expect it to be like this, he was stunned and a little overwhelmed there.

After a long time, as soon as Xiao Hai spoke, before the first word could be spoken, the woman said sharply:

"Help me...."

"Huh...?"

"Help me.... Fast... It's almost too late..."

Her mouth was still shaking, and her voice was soft, distant, like the sound of a long-abandoned radio in the corner.

"What am I going to do?"

"Bracelet... Bracelet...! Give me the bracelet!! She suddenly stood up quickly and stretched out her hand to grab Xiao Hai's chest, but stopped at the moment she touched it, she looked at his chest for a few seconds, her fingertips trembled, and she was about to get it...... At this moment, her face was still blurry, but the expression in those eyes was extremely clear, and Xiao Hai could feel the unwillingness and fear contained in these eyes. Then the next second it was sucked in by a huge force! The woman shook her head desperately and cried bitterly, screaming, "No... No, no!! And he was gone.

A whirlpool suddenly formed between heaven and earth! Not only did the roaring wind rise from nowhere and rise down the ground, the white mist completely dissipated, replaced by an endless black and turbid air! The wind swept and thundered in the dark night, and there was no rain but dark clouds! A cold current condensed the air in all directions, roaring and mixing with heaven and earth!

"Click!" A loud thunder resounded in the sky, and the fierce light shone violently, and I saw a woman in Gaoqiu tied to a cross wood! She was covered in ****, bloodstained, her long hair was scattered straight down, and the waterfall that looked like blood flowed all the way to the foot of the small sea! A dense crowd of people sat around the hill, and they lowered their heads in unison, not knowing what they were muttering. The woman on the cross wood twisted in pain, her skin began to bubble like fire, gurgling up and then bursting and burning, leaving bloody holes in her body! Xiao Hai was shocked to see it, and only felt that the goosebumps on his body were covered layer after layer!

The woman was still struggling in pain, but she was too tightly bound to resist.

The leader stood up, and he walked straight over, pulled something off his neck, and put it on the woman's head, and the woman began to howl violently. After the man stepped back, Xiao Hai saw clearly that it was the triangular Tuten! It was a triangular piece of iron, rusty, and it was starting to melt on her head!

At this moment, the crowd let out a burst of cheers, and under their impassioned shouts, the woman became more and more painful. Her forehead has been made miserable by molten iron! A huge hole is exposed! The brain slurry inside is mixed with blood and left behind. The iron was still melting, sliding down from the woman's face, leaving an inch of shocking imprint every inch of snow-white skin!

The thunder in the black sky was pressed down heavily, flickering brightly and dimly, only to hear a loud bang, and a strong light appeared in the clouds! Gray-blue thunder and lightning hit that woman! A raging fire was ignited on her!!

Suddenly, a violent scream rang out in the sky!

Xiao Hai listened to this voice, and his heart sank.

Isn't this the howl that sounded when I saw the river of blood for the first time?!

The sound that night was exactly the same as this one!!

She screamed in mourning! The sound shook through the sky, as if it was about to split the sky into two! The voice was full of pain and anger! It's really going to turn into a sharp sword and stab it in Xiaohai's eardrum! A fire burned on the hill in the distance, and the screams of despair mingled together! Echoing over and over again in the night, the air filled the air with the smell of burnt blood.

I don't know how long it burned, but the sound gradually weakened, and finally disappeared like the fire.

After the remnants were over, the people under the hill clapped their hands and congratulated!

Faintly, their whispers were heard, and the voices were male and female, old and young, but the content was all the same.

"It's finally over...."

"Don't suffer anymore..."

"This damn devil ......!!"

......

They were still immersed in the fruits of victory, and they did not notice that the ashes that had been left on the cross wood were slowly sinking and melting......

Suddenly, the men in the back row fell down, twisting in a very strange position. Xiao Hai narrowed his eyes, and those people looked like sheep having a seizure, foaming at the mouth and trembling all the time. The crowd sensed that something was wrong and wanted to come over to help, but as soon as they raised their feet, they also fell to the ground, trembling like the previous people. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of people fell to the ground, struggling in pain.

The smell of blood was getting stronger, and it had covered the burnt smell.

Xiao Hai narrowed his eyes, and then couldn't help but widen, those people were all covered in blood!

The blood is getting higher and higher! It's gone beyond their bodies!

Unexpectedly..... Again... It's the river of blood again!!

Blood is like a swarm of snakes hibernating from a hole, snaking in quickly! Xiaohai didn't have time to hide, and his lower body was soaked again! He lifted his foot and tried to run, but found that the blood was so sticky that he couldn't move! I saw that the bodies of those hundreds of people fell to the ground like a slight hillside, and they were submerged in a short time. At the same time, there was the sound of their moans.

There was silence.

The calm river of blood did not even have a ripple.

The sky was not as dark as it had just been, and the darkness gradually receded a little, revealing a huge whirlpool in the center, like a hole, faintly white.

Everything was in decline, only Xiaohai's violent gasps.

The huge river of blood seems to be shallow and deep, like a dark and red agate, like a black and bright abyss. The pale and poignant of the sky corresponded to the ashes on the high hills, and there was no end in sight, drowning in the fishy sky.

In the distance, the sound of the raft sliding and running water.

The thick wooden strips, swinging with the arms in a pair of hands, turned back and forth in the blood water again and again, and the bottom had lost its original brown color.

The sound gradually sailed towards the small sea, and the shadows on the ship were blurred, hidden in the thick blood mist.

But the black shadow was slender and graceful, and Xiao Hai felt familiar.

She walked slowly from the blood mist, her face veiled, and her delicate blue dress was stained with blood. The fog behind her lifted, revealing a glowing golden glow. Like the light of the rising sunrise in the sky. The vague figure is strange and mysterious, but the thick surface of the river of blood can clearly reflect her silhouette. She swung her oars gently, and everywhere she went, there were cranberry blossoms, and the messengers of hell hung their heads on the surface of the river, and the banks merged into one color.

...... Wait a minute!

This... This picture! How could it be so familiar!

Xiao Hai suddenly remembered! In that ruined temple, on the blood-stained portrait, the woman had such an image in his mind! Obviously, he was as noble as a god at the beginning, but after being stained with blood, he looked like a different person, and he unconsciously had such an illusion in his mind! And this illusion is alive in front of my eyes right now!

Her figure was getting closer and closer, and the sound of the water gliding through the raft was exceptionally clear, mixed with other sounds.

The voice is slender and long, the tone is melodious and frustrating, and the particularly lonely mood is covered by the sound of the water flowing down to the ground.

This...... Is it singing?

“...... To Ruo, the path is secluded in the bamboo forest, and the beauty sits down. The wind and clouds dissipated the confusion, and Lang looked forward to the fall. In the morning and twilight, the eyes turned to the spirit, and the mutual affection was secretly born. Promises are heavy, poetry is picturesque. Luo Shou is fragrant, and the depths of the flower pavilion are all good people. Belch...... The period is over, return to the south, what is the wild goose like? ”

Her sliding boat came to Xiao Hai's side, but she didn't plan to stop at all, ignoring him, and sailed forward.

Xiao Hai raised her head, and sure enough, her face was blurry, and she couldn't see anything clearly.

The singing continued, gently cutting, as crisp and beautiful as the jade beads falling on the plate, and Xiao Hai was a little intoxicated to listen to it.

"The people of Iraq look forward to the return of the king, and the spring goes to the winter to return. Day by day, he is emaciated, and he is defeated every year. Half rolled yarn, hating Fangfei, green silk collapsed white. Speechless, hard to regret. What's the matter, how much resentment does the sub-rule have? Sad, sad, short-lived, ......"

The sound has gradually become inaudible and gradually fades away.

The ripples behind her, every time they rippled, countless blood-red flowers bloomed, and under the falling leaves, there were piles of white bones, red and white, and they were sad to the eyes.

Her driving figure eventually turned into a black dot and disappeared into the sky where the golden light lit up, merging with the light. The huge curtain pierced Xiao Hai's eyes, and he couldn't help but close his eyes, and then open them after his eyes were relieved.

However, the river of blood was gone.

On a clear day, the sun hung overhead.

There are no clouds in the blue, and the golden glow is in the sky.

Xiao Hai looked at it in a daze, the surroundings were desolate, how could there be a shadow of the woman and the blood river?

That's it again...

Suddenly, suddenly, into its walk.

It's just that for some reason, this time he had a hunch that the blood river should not appear again.

Xiao Hai looked up at the blue sky above him, he hadn't seen such a scene for a long time...... I can feel the sun so clearly! The sun was shining warmly on his body, and he had never felt so warm before.

It's been a long time......

He was in a clearing, and the tower was less than two meters behind him.

He stood in the doorway and looked inside, pitch black.

That day, in front of the Octagonal Building at the Loulan Ruins, it was also pitch black inside.

Thinking of that scene, Xiao Hai subconsciously clenched his hands.

He bowed his head and pondered for a moment, then walked in.
