Chapter 56: The Raven and the Fire

The three of us waited until eight or nine o'clock in the evening, but we still didn't see Peng Jiahe, Li Jingfeng and the blind grandma.

In the village, I searched the edge of the village several times, but there was not even a ghost shadow.

"You say such a large group of people, where can they go?"

Jiang Lai panted and poured a large mouthful of water, and said in distress, he had been shouting outside for a long time just now, and his voice was almost hoarse.

"Didn't anyone see them go out during the day?"

I frowned tightly, my heart was on fire, and when I looked at the sky, it was already dark.

Jiang Lai and Li Zhu'er shook their heads, and finally, the three of us in the living room stared at each other.

It's late at night.

The fog was very heavy at night in the mountains and forests, and before you knew it, the whole village was covered with white fog. I don't know if it's my delusion, but I feel that tonight is very quiet, and there is no sound at all in the silence.

Jiang Lai stayed in the courtyard for a while, and after a few laps around the tall and lush locust tree, he couldn't stay anymore and was about to go outside.

"I'll go out and find it again!"

With that, he hurriedly walked out.

I looked at Jiang Lai's back as he disappeared into the courtyard and sighed. Sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, he glanced at Peng Jiahe's guest room with the door open, and shook his head helplessly.

You say, how can a good person say that he can't see it.

Also, how did the people of this village disappear with it?

"Don't worry, you'll find it."

Li Zhu'er held my hand tightly with her two little hands and said with relief.

I was just about to speak, when suddenly a terrible chirp sounded in the sky, followed by a dense black figure.

I froze and quickly got up from the stone bench.

The screams of the screams were like a long cry tearing through the fog of hell. The black figure circled in the air at great speed for a few times, and then quickly approached.

Looking at the menacing appearance of the black shadow, I quickly pulled Li Zhuer up and ran towards the guest room.

The door slammed shut, and then, I heard a terrible sound outside, like a ghost crying wolf.

I opened the door slightly.

Then I was stunned.

I saw that the branches of the luxuriant locust tree were full of black crows. And above the big locust tree, there are still countless crows circling.

In the layers of pale white mist, crows chirped, and their hoarse voices were like songs from hell, making people's souls tremble.

Under the dim night sky, the crows opened their scarlet eyes, full of weirdness.

Li Zhu'er grabbed my hand tightly, her whole body was trembling, and I gently hugged her and comforted her. In the bottom of my heart, there was an inexplicable feeling of unease.

"Brother......

At this moment, I suddenly saw Jiang Lai calling to me anxiously in the living room in the distance, as if he had encountered something important.

I observed the crow's movements, and when I saw that the crow didn't care, I slowly opened the door a little wider.

Seeing the door open, revealing my figure, Jiang Lai became even more excited, and kept gesturing, pointing outside, wanting to express something, but because the yard was full of crows, he didn't dare to make too much noise.

After a long time of analogy, I finally understood from his mouth shape and movements that he repeatedly said the three words Peng Jiahe, and the gesture of beckoning meant to let me out.

I was instantly excited, and it was obvious that Jiang Lai had found clues about Peng Jiahe.

But......

I looked at the dense crows in the yard and hesitated.

Finally, I gritted my teeth, turned around and grabbed Li Zhu'er's shoulder, and said to her: "You stay in the guest room, wait for those crows to disappear and then come out, Jiang Lai has found some clues about Peng Jiahe, he told me to go out in this situation, it must be very important, I must go out." ”

"So, stay there and wait for me to come back."

"No!"

Li Zhu'er grabbed my hand and shook her head vigorously, her eyes full of stubbornness: "No, I want to go out with you." ”

"Good, you are obedient!"

I didn't listen to the persuasion, but Li Zhuer just didn't listen, looked at me stubbornly, and was about to cry. Looking at her like this, my heart suddenly softened. looked at the crows that were densely packed outside, but did not have any intention of attacking, and said, "You will follow me closely later." ”

I scanned around the room and found two large coats to put on my body, and a large quilt in the closet to cover my head.

I protected Li Zhu'er, hugged her tightly in my arms, bent my waist, covered with a big quilt, and slowly opened the door.

Seeing that the crow above my head was just chirping miserably, and there was no reaction, I calmed down a little in my heart, nodded to Li Zhu'er, and slowly walked towards the living room.

As soon as he took a step, the crows in the sky suddenly made a particularly terrible sound as if they had discovered it, and as if it were a signal, all the crows let out a hoarse chirp, and the sound was full of desolation and anger.

And those scarlet eyes were exceptionally bright in the dark night.

All the crows flew into the air, flapping their wings, and then a spin and rushed towards us desperately!

"Not good! Come on! ”

My expression changed greatly, and I hurriedly protected Peng Jiahe and ran towards the living room.

The crows smashed like stones on the quilt above our heads, densely packed, and hurt my arms and back.

I snorted, covered the quilt tightly, and escorted Li Zhu'er to walk quickly.

The distance between the guest room and the living room is very short, but this part of the road is extremely difficult, there are crows smashing down, I even feel that the quilt above my head has been scratched by the crows, and some crows even claws scratch the quilt fiercely, the beak of the bird keeps pecking at the quilt, and the cotton wool is constantly pecked off.

The bird's beak pecked at my arm and back through the thinning quilt, and it hurt and hurt.

"Hurry up!"

Jiang Lai stood in the living room, opened the door a crack, and shouted at us anxiously.

Feeling that the beak had penetrated the quilt, I knew that there was no time to delay, and a lunge rushed straight to the living room. And Jiang Lai also closed the door at once after I went in.

At this time, there were still a few crows on the quilt that were tightly clung to, but it didn't matter, Jiang Lai took a feather duster, and as soon as he dusted it, several crows flew into the air quickly, refusing to come down.

After Jiang Lai waved it fiercely a few times, the crows flew away unwillingly along a small gap in the open window.

Before I could take a breath, Jiang Lai pulled me down to the side of the window.

"Brother, look!"

At this glance, my face instantly became ugly.

I saw a mountain in the distance, burning a fiery red firelight, and above the firelight, a thick cloud of black smoke rose above the firelight, like a long dragon.

The fire was so big that it could be seen clearly even in this dark night.

I suddenly felt a thump in my heart.

The direction of that hill is the village of Hakuba.

And looking at that firelight, I felt inexplicably familiar.

My heart tightened all at once.

I suddenly remembered that the sacrifice in my dream was also like this......
