Moonlit Night Terror

Next Chapter

A feeling of coldness swept through his body, and Liang Huaning opened his eyes suddenly, looking at everything around him with some blood red eyes. Her whole body was cold, and her head was like lead, and she had a terrible headache.

"Is that?"

She muttered to herself with some fear.

It was dark and cold, with only a faint light peeking in through the cracks in the old walls, and she was in a dilapidated cell, like a trapped beast that had fallen into the trap that the hunter had designed to trap, accompanied by the sound of raindrops falling through the cracks in the walls, like the scene of a person dying in a tomb, and when the light was gone, she buried herself in the earth with the light.

Woo......

The sound of women sobbing sounded around them, it was a little small at first, but then it became more and more unstoppable, and the sound became louder and louder, as if life and death were parting.

She turned, and by the faint light and crying, she guessed that it was some young girl.

"What are you crying about, what is this place?"

She asked the women, but no one answered her, and the women were still crying on their own, and the cry was a bit harsh, and it made her have a headache.

Wait, let her clear some thoughts.

There was a heavy snowfall this year, and on Sunday, a few friends organized a snowball fight in the suburbs together, and everything was fine, but who knows, but let Twilight Ning and her good friend Luo Yan meet Twilight Ning's boyfriend Lu Xiao and Jiang Yueren from the next class are doing something indescribable in the grass. She was frightened at the time, and she was a little speechless, so that Luo Yan, the girl, was upset with herself, and rushed in to ruin their good deeds.

Lu Xiao, who was ruined by the good thing, was a little angry, and he didn't even bother to explain, and after hastily saying a word about breaking up, he pulled Jiang Yueren away.

Afterwards...... After that, Lu Xiao temporarily went back to school, but Jiang Yueren came to Twilight Ning to let her leave Lu Xiao in a domineering manner, Twilight Ning originally wanted to break up with Lu Xiao, but Jiang Yueren was aggressive and spoke badly, Twilight Ning was angry, so she lied that she would never leave Lu Xiao. Jiang Yueren has always been spoiled by his family, and when he was counterattacked by Twilight, he actually moved his hand in anger, and between pulling, the three of them fell into the lake next to them, and then lost consciousness. When I woke up, I was already in front of me.

Could it be that she is dead?

Twilight was startled and pinched her wrist hard, shivering in pain.

No, all three of them can swim, the lake is so quiet that they can't swim.

Dream?

The red mark on her wrist was obvious, and there was pain, she couldn't be dreaming.

She was startled, her pupils dilated.

Through?

No, it can't be.

She has read a lot of time-traveling novels, but that's not scientific, at least with the current technology of human beings, it is impossible to do any time-travel.

"Sister, sister, what are you thinking?"

In the dark, a little girl about ten years old opened her dark and bright eyes, pulled her sleeves and looked at her softly.

"Little sister, where is this?"

She grabbed the girl by the shoulders and asked as if she were grasping a life-saving straw.

The little girl softly said, "This is the ...... This is the border between South Vietnam and the North Kingdom. ”

What dynasty is this? Why hadn't she heard of it? Although her history is not very good, she knows a little bit of common sense! South Vietnam, North Country, what the hell?

"How many years is this?"

The little girl looked at Twilight Ning with some confusion and said, "What AD? This is two thousand years of South Vietnam. ”

Two thousand years of South Vietnam! She had never heard of it at all! Very good, very good, she had not only traveled through time, but also traveled to a dynasty that did not exist at all, and even what little historical knowledge she had was useless. What's the difference between her being dead and being dead?

"It's really bad luck to get home. ”

Twilight said with a little choked up.

"Sister, are you scared?"

"Afraid, afraid of what?" said Twilight, questioning.

"I'm afraid of death, we're going to die, isn't my sister afraid? ?”

Of course, death is afraid, but she has just crossed over, why should she die again?

"Why should we die?"

"We will all sacrifice to the Great Elder for the heavens, and tonight we will all die. ”

Worship the heavens? No, so unlucky? Do you like to play this set in ancient times?

But, no, isn't it a childhood virgin to worship the heavens? She is a college student who is about to graduate, and at most she is called a young person. She looked around carefully, and found that except for her, they were all virgins about the same age as the woman in front of her. She was a little confused.

But thinking that since this is not really ancient, she can't care so much, she should find a way to escape from here now, she doesn't want to be cannon fodder. She tried her best to calm herself down and asked the woman in front of her.

"Little sister, what's your name?"

Twilight asked.

"Anu. ”

"Anu, what's that name, who gave you the name?"

"Great Elder. Anu was born a slave, the name given by the Great Elder, who said that when Anu was ten years old, Anu would be able to complete his mission. ”

Anu's words were very plain, but every sentence made Twilight Ning thrilling, and the mission in Anu's mouth was to wait until he was ten years old to go to the heavens.

Heaven and earth are merciful, why sacrifice to heaven, if heaven is not benevolent, what is the use of worshipping heaven?

I'm afraid it's not the heavens that will be sacrificed, I'm afraid it's people.

Twilight touched Anu's head and said, "Anu, no one is born to be a slave, this is not your mission, nor should it be your mission, you are so cute, if you can live, don't call Anu anymore, just call ......"

Twilight looked at Anu's innocent eyes and said, "Just call Le'er, okay?"

"Le'er?"

Twilight nodded, looked into her eyes and said, "Le'er, if we can live, you must be happy and happy in the future, and stay away from such a dirty place." ”

Le'er looked at Twilight, her calm eyes shining like she had never seen before.

"Sister. ”

Le'er hugged Twilight Ning and said, "Well, Anu won't be called Anu in the future, just Le'er, Le'er wants to live, and wants to live with her sister." ”

After she finished speaking, she secretly took out half a steamed bun from her arms, handed it to Twilight, and said, "Sister, this is for you." ”

Twilight had never felt that a steamed bun was so important, because she knew that this half of the steamed bun might be a life-saving steamed bun at this time.

"Sister, eat. Le'er said.

Twilight Ning shook her head and said softly, "Take it, don't eat it for the time being, maybe it will be useful then." ”

After speaking, Twilight Ning returned the steamed bun to Le'er and let her hide it. Le'er saw that Twilight insisted on giving it to her, so she hid it for the rest of her life.

Seeing that Le'er trusted herself so much, Twilight Ning asked Le'er, "Le'er, what the hell is the Great Elder in your mouth, and why were we chosen to sacrifice to the heavens?"

"Ghost, sister, the great elder is not a ghost, he is an elder of the Nanyue Kingdom, he was sent to guard the peace of the Biansai, and every year at the turn of the old and new years, twenty women will be selected to sacrifice to the sky and protect the peace of the Biansai. ”

Damn the sacrifice to the sky, if the sacrifice to the sky can be exchanged for peace and tranquility, then why is there a war? On the one hand, Twilight Ning is very angry at the stupidity of the people here, and she is also very worried that she will really become cannon fodder like this!

Twilight looked around and asked, "But why are there only about ten women here, and why are you all children, and I'm older than you?"

"I don't know, I only know that these twenty women were all born in December, and they are all feminine, and the other ten women are locked up opposite us, and by midnight tonight, we will be used together to worship the heavens. ”

Twilight thought that according to her parents, she was born at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and her hands and feet were cold all her life, not only that, but she didn't cry or make a fuss, her eyes were just closed, and she really looked like a dead baby. At that time, my mother was scared to death and cried to death, and the doctor also felt sorry, thinking that he would not survive tonight. It snowed all night that night, and my mother hugged her all night, because she firmly believed that the power of mother's love would wake up her child.

Twilight doesn't know if it's really the power of mother's love that awakens her, but the next day she really woke up. Since then, she has no illness and is living a healthy life.

Later, under the overpass, she met a blind fortune teller, pulled her, and said to her, "Oh, it's terrible!" She smashed the blind man in the face with the ice cream in her hand, and ran away as fast as she could. So much so that she was afraid when she saw the blind later. As for what the blind man said, she still didn't understand it.

But it was only now that she regretted that the blind man might not be an ordinary blind man, maybe he was really a hermit? If she hadn't thrown that ice cream in his face, maybe she wouldn't be where she is today. Thinking of this place, she quickly knelt down, closed her eyes, and silently recited: "Blind, no, master, please bless me, don't be cannon fodder like this! If I can survive and go back safely, I will definitely send you a pennant." Please, bless me!"

After speaking, she also solemnly kowtowed three times to show respect. Le'er looked at Twilight's strange behavior, a little puzzled, and just wanted to help her up, she felt some warm liquid on her cold arm.

"Sister...... Are you crying?"

Le'er was sure she hadn't heard a trace of Twilight's crying, and if it weren't for the warm liquid, she wouldn't have known that Twilight was crying.

Twilight didn't answer her immediately, she was silent for a moment, and replied in a somewhat hoarse voice with a long tail, "Uh-huh......"

In the dark, Le'er stretched out her cold and young hand to wipe away the tears on Twilight's face and said, "Sister, don't cry. ”

Although Twilight didn't cry, she really cried out of fear and helplessness, maybe even she didn't realize that she had cried into tears, Twilight reached out and wiped the remaining tears from her face, forcing herself not to think too much.

"Well, my sister doesn't cry anymore. ”

Twilight knows that at this moment, no matter how much you cry, no one will sympathize with your tears here, and the more you cry, the more you look like a trapped beast, to be slaughtered. Besides, she is cold and hungry now, and crying will only make her energy disappear faster and faster, and even if she has the opportunity to run out, she will definitely not be able to support it.

She told herself over and over again that Liang Wanning must persevere, she must persevere.

At this moment, she has never been so eager to live, what splits her legs, what crossing, for her, it doesn't matter anymore, only living is the most important thing. Life is facing a desperate situation, only then do we know the fragility and self-improvement of life.

The wind and snow on the side are intertwined, and the people who blow are cold and unbearable, and the people who blow are frightened. She and Le'er hugged each other tightly, which can be regarded as warming each other and snuggling up to each other. The unique sound of the horn pierced the silence of the night, and the dark clouds struck and a slaughter began.

In the dark, the bright lights and the sound of hurried footsteps make people's nerves tense to the fullest.

"Hurry up, don't miss the auspicious time. ”

The heavy but hurried voices of the soldiers walked towards Twilight.

They were too strong to resist, so they put handcuffs and anklets on them and sent them in line to escort them to an unknown place where they were dying. Because she was the largest and the tallest, she stood last.

If the wind in the cell has blown to the bone, then the wind and snow outside the cell can be said to be like a blade, if you stay here for less than a pillar of incense, you can be eaten alive.

Some soldiers would reach their tents, light a fire, and boil a bowl of hot wine to warm themselves up, because it was too cold.

"That's a good thing. ”

A soldier took a small piece from his bosom and poured the yellow powder inside into the warm liquor on the stand.

One of the soldiers with him asked, "What is this?" ”

The soldier smiled, but said with a mysterious face: "Realgar." ”

Hearing that the soldier said that it was male yellow, the other soldier's face changed suddenly, and he said a little miserably: "You are crazy, didn't the Great Elder not allow this thing to be in the army?"

The soldier hurriedly signaled him not to make a statement: "Shh, you keep quiet, if the elders know, I will die." ”

Twilight Ning wondered, it was obviously just a male yellow, a very ordinary thing, why was it forbidden in the army, and it was also forbidden by the Great Elder, she thought of this and stopped. As soon as she stopped, the soldier behind her kicked her and kicked her to the ground.

Her back hurt terribly, but fortunately, the soldier kicked her just in time to kick her on the soldier who had just been cooking wine, and she was quick to hide the soldier's realgar and a small dagger on herself.

The soldier who was knocked down by her pushed her away, stood up and wiped the snow off her body, kicked her again, and cursed in his mouth: "Disaster Star".

Twilight had always been a little thin, and as soon as she was kicked by the soldier, and then by the soldier, Twilight felt that she was about to pass out.

"Hey, don't play dead. ”

The soldier despised the word.

Twilight tried to stand up, but it hurt so much that she felt like her whole body was shaking.

"Enough, she's dead, and we're all going to die. ”

The soldier pulled her up and poured the unboiled water in her face to sober her up.

Fortunately, the water was not boiling, it was just warm, otherwise Twilight Ning would definitely be burned beyond recognition, and the woman who accompanied her would only be more frightened when she saw it, and she didn't dare to say a word, but Le'er looked at Twilight Ning with fear and distress in her eyes.

Twilight smiled reluctantly, reassuring her.

What kind of world is this, and is human life really so despicable?

Dad, Mom, I really miss you, I will never be willful again, and I will never make you angry again.

Twilight thought of being so happy and healthy under the protection of her parents, and her eyes were already wet, but she didn't cry.

"Catch her, catch her. ”

In the dim lights, a somewhat familiar figure was strung around, and the closer it gets, the more Du Ning can vaguely see that it is Jiang Yueren.

"You neurotics, idiots, retards, retards, mentally retarded, get out, get out. ”

The soldiers quickly formed a circle around her, surrounded her, and pointed their long blades at her, but they did not dare to harm her.

"Are you crazy, killing people is a crime, it is a crime. ”

Jiang Yueren said with fear and anger.

In the cold wind, a vicissitudes of life, but a slightly bewitching voice sounded: "Fa? here, Elder Ben is Fa. ”

I saw that the man, who was about forty years old, was dressed in white, which contrasted clearly with the night, and his Danfeng eyes were full of blood-colored killing intent. I don't know if it's because of the effect of the light, Twilight felt that her black eyes had turned blood-colored for a moment, and she wanted to devour people in blood.

"You old immortal, do you know who my dad is, if you dare to touch me, I ......"

Before Jiang Yueren finished speaking, the bright red blood left a blood-colored crack in the snow.

Yes......

The girls screamed in fright, and in the midst of the screams, Twilight Ning watched Jiang Yueren slowly come in front of her like this, not blinking.

But compared to fear, at this moment, Twilight Ning was more shocked, the shock of facing death, the shock of facing another world.

There is no law here. Some are just the authority of the man in front of them, and some are just fateful.

The man took out a handkerchief and calmly wiped the remaining blood on his hand, and then said lightly: "Drain her blood." ”

Those soldiers obediently carried Jiang Yueren's body to the altar, and then poured her blood into a black tripod, which was originally featureless, and after being filled with human blood, it suddenly emitted a red light, illuminating the entire altar.

The elder smiled and said, "Let's start!"

As he gave the order, the women's cries grew louder and louder, and they all knelt on the ground and begged him to disturb them. The elder turned around, but his eyes were on Twilight, looking at her with some surprise and said, "What, you're not afraid of death?"

Twilight had just been shocked by what she saw, and the Great Elder's words pulled her back to reality. She hurriedly knelt down: "I'm afraid, elder, I beg you, let us go." ”

She didn't dare to challenge the authority of the man in front of her, and she didn't want to die such an evil family.

"Hmph!" the Great Elder snorted coldly, casually pointing to a few people, including Twilight Ning and Le'er, and said, "Bring them to my room." ”

Together with Twilight and Le'er, a total of eight women were brought into the Great Elder's room. Although Twilight didn't know why the Great Elder had left eight people behind, she vaguely felt in her heart that maybe it wasn't a good thing to come to this place, but although she thought so, it was obvious that the other women didn't think so.

"Did the Great Elder let us go?"

"Will it?"

"The Great Elder must have let us go. ”

"Great, great!"

The women seemed to let down their guard, and their faces showed a slight lightness.

"Sister, why are you frowning?"

Le'er asked as she looked at Twilight Ning with a solemn expression.

"Le'er, do you think the Great Elder will let us go?"

Although he only saw the Great Elder once, that glance was enough to become a nightmare for Twilight Ning's life. She didn't believe that such a person who was high, regarded other people's lives like a mustard, was extremely superstitious, and had a ruthless heart, would let them go.

Le'er looked at Twilight Ning and said hesitantly, "I'...... I do not know. ”

"Don't you know about the Great Elder?" Twilight Ning thought she would get some useful information from Le'er, but she didn't expect Le'er to know anything.

"I don't know, people like us don't usually see the elders at all. ”

Twilight looked at Le'er's appearance, and believed that she had no idea what kind of person this elder was, not to mention the women, who were now basking in the joy that they had not been guillotined, and must have thought that the elder was a compassionate person. Twilight thought that if she hadn't been born in the 21st century and had lived in such a place since she was a child, maybe she would have trusted the elder as they did.

But she didn't believe in him, she didn't believe that he would be merciful, and she didn't believe that he would let them go.

Twilight walked to the tent door and gently lifted the curtain to reveal a tiny slit so she could peek outside. Unlike the cage where their heavy handles were locked at the beginning, the elder's room was not guarded by a single soldier, and it was calm and terrifying except for the sound of wind and snow.

If there were no soldiers, there might have been a chance of escape, but was it really as calm as outside? Or was there a greater danger waiting for her? She was struggling, and she was making bets.

"Le'er, do you want to escape?" Twilight asked her.

"Run, sister......" Le Er replied in some surprise, and before she could finish speaking, Twilight Ning gagged her, afraid that she would attract someone who shouldn't come.

"Shhhh......h

"Sister, this place is heavily guarded, and we can't escape, besides, maybe the Great Elder has already let us go. ”

"I don't believe he will let us go, I just watched, there is no one outside, if it is really like the scene outside, we have the best chance to escape at this moment, I don't want to die here, let alone die in the hands of that person, I want to go, do you want to come with me?"

Le'er has been a slave since she was a child, she was born to only know how to obey, she never thought about it, and she didn't dare to think about going against the wishes of the Great Elder, when she heard Twilight Ning's words, she was stunned and a little overwhelmed. Twilight Ning naturally knew Le'er's thoughts, she grabbed her shoulder and said with confidence: "Le'er, to be honest, I can't guarantee that your Great Elder will really let us go, but if we just wait here, then our fate can only be handed over to him, but if we choose to escape, then our fate is in our hands, we don't have that much time, we should gamble for our lives, right?"

When Le'er heard Twilight's words, it would be false to say that she was not shaken a little, she also wanted to live, and she wanted to leave here more than Twilight Ning in a way. But ten years of slave life took root in her blood, so she didn't dare to have the courage to gamble like Twilight.

"Sister...... I...... I don't dare. ”

She didn't dare after all.

Twilight thought that she overestimated her and overestimated herself, this is not a TV series, there are many things, many people, and it is not so easy to change.

She can't change anyone, but all she can grasp is herself. This time she had to take a gamble.

She looked around, tore down the curtains in the room, put the food on the table in it, and then took out a few thicker clothes from the closet and put them on herself. Le'er and the other women all looked at her with strange eyes, a little unclear.

"Le'er, there's only so much I can do, if you don't want to, I won't force you, you take care. ”

There's really only so much she can do.

"You want to run?"

One of the women stood up and asked Twilight.

When the other women heard this, they asked Twilight in disbelief.

"Don't you want to run and die?

Twilight Ningben's words were meant to be kind, but she didn't expect that what happened next would ruin her three views.
