Chapter 57: The Sacrifice

Curse, Vanishing Villagers, White Horse Jade Plaque, White Horse Village, Sacrifice, Peng Jiahe...... These things were connected, and a thought suddenly jumped in my heart.

Even though I knew it was incredible, the strange thing was that it stuck firmly in my mind and lingered.

In the night sky, countless crows hovered on the eaves, some stood on the roof, some stood on the big locust tree in the yard, making a piercing chirping, in a terrible voice, with a violent anger, a pair of scarlet eyes stared at the living room, looking for an opportunity to attack.

Jiang Lai stared nervously at the crows outside the window, and looked at me anxiously from time to time.

Li Zhu'er took my hand, her face full of worry, and her uneasy eyes full of timidity.

The feeling of uneasiness in my heart became stronger and stronger, and I suddenly raised my head: "Let's go to White Horse Village now!" ”

"What?"

Jiang Lai's eyes widened suddenly, he looked at me in surprise, looked at the dense crows outside the window, his lips were a little dry, and he couldn't help licking: "Brother, there are so many crows outside now, how can you go?" ”

"Peng Jiahe may be in White Horse Village now, and it may be dangerous now!"

I frowned and explained, as I spoke, my body was moving, and I walked to the corner of the living room, picked up a broom, broke it severely, and then wrapped a fine strip of cloth around the broken broom stick.

Jiang Lai's face changed when he heard me say this.

looked at the flocks of crows outside the window apprehensively, gritted his teeth, and said, "Brother, what to do, I'll listen to you." ”

Li Zhuer also looked at me firmly in an instant and expressed her support.

I nodded and said, "Find some sticks, let's make torches, the crows are afraid of fire, and then we will remove the curtains and drape them on our bodies later, so that we can block the crows' attacks." ”

Jiang Lai and Li Zhu'er nodded, instantly understood what I meant, Jiang Lai went to make torches, Li Zhu'er removed the curtains, and I walked around the living room, looking for anything that could be used.

Not to mention, it was a coincidence that I found a coat and hat in the corner, and tried it on my body, a little small, but it didn't hinder the movement.

After Li Zhu'er lowered the curtains of a few windows, she didn't know where to take out a bucket of oil, and I asked to find out that this was lamp oil, which was specially stored.

The quilt was slightly repaired, although it was a little tattered, but it was covered with a curtain on the top, which was thicker than a simple curtain, and I gave the quilt to Li Zhu'er.

After about fifteen minutes of preparation, we were almost ready and looked out the window.

Outside the window, the crows were still flying all over the sky, but a little less than before, and I guess that after a while, they would fly away.

However, I was in a hurry. Can't wait.

Peng Jiahe has disappeared for most of the day, and he doesn't know what to do at this time.

I poured oil on the torch and lit it.

"Are you ready?"

In the fiery red firelight, reflecting my three nervous and determined faces, I looked at Jiang Lai in the curtain and Li Zhu'er in the quilt, and asked with a stern expression.

Jiang Lai and Li Zhu'er nodded.

"Let's go!"

I opened the door suddenly, yelled, and then, taking Li Zhu'er's hand, rushed outside.

The three of them were like charging tanks, rushing outside regardless of it.

The crow's mournful chirping suddenly doubled in size, and became more rapid, mixed with the sound of flapping wings, and for a moment, chaos all around.

In the shroud of the crows, the three of us waved the torches in our hands vigorously, and the flames ignited the crow's wings, and the burning crows flew in the air like sparks, and then fell miserably to the ground, and after a few flutters, they could only chirp in pain on the ground.

I pulled Li Zhu'er and ran forward, while Jiang Lai followed closely behind us.

The crows in the sky are like angular stones, hanging us all over our bodies.

I don't know when the hat has fallen off, and there is pain on my face and head, not only the pecking marks of crows, but also the scratches of crows. I don't know when, the corners of my eyes feel blurry, and when I look at it, I only feel blood.

Li Zhu'er's quilt has been scratched to pieces, and even the clothes inside are a little broken, and faintly, you can see sporadic blood.

Jiang Lai's torch didn't know when it was extinguished, and only half of the thick curtain was left at this time, and Jiang Lai's body was full of scars.

The crow's attack did not stop, and we could only run forward as hard as we could.

I don't know how long I ran, but I don't feel like there's a good place on my body.

The crow's chirping finally disappeared, and the torches of the three people, only Li Zhu'er was the only one left, still lit.

The dim light of the fire swayed in the darkness, and the elongated reflection image was followed by a ghost, in the dark, I didn't know what was mixed up, and fell directly to the ground with a thud, and even Li Zhu'er on the side was pulled by me and pressed heavily on my body.

I snorted.

At this moment, I felt like my bones were falling apart.

"Brother, how are you?"

Jiang Lai behind me hurriedly supported me.

But I felt weak all over my body and didn't get up for half a day.

Li Zhu'er immediately stood up from me, then helped me and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?" ”

I shook my head and breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking around, it was dark at night. I was finally relieved to see that there were no crows.

Finally ran away.

Looking around by Li Zhu'er's firelight, he found that there was not much way to Baimapo.

It turns out that before we know it, we have been running for so long.

This discovery cheered me up and struggled to get up from the ground.

As soon as I got up, I felt that my whole body was weak, and I almost fell, my eyes seemed to be covered with something, and my hands were full of blood when I touched them.

"How are you, are you alright?" Li Zhu'er was frightened and asked worriedly.

I touched the corner of my eye, and it made a cut, it hurt a little, but it wasn't a big deal. He shook his head: "It's not a big deal, let's go quickly!"

Although it is not much away from the White Horse Slope, this section of the road is extremely hard.

It was dark, the road was steep, I was prepared last time, but this time I didn't prepare at all, and there were a lot of bugs at night.

Some insects take advantage of your inattention, they will burrow into your clothes, and bite you coldly, ordinary insects are fine, if other insects, they can bite you painfully, and some are very itchy.

Fortunately, there is Li Zhuer on the road.

Some simple bugs, she can handle them.

However, we should be extra careful when we go.

If people are cautious, they will naturally not be able to go fast.

Finally, after a thousand efforts, the White Horse Slope is close at hand.

The White Horse Slope is still the same as before, and we walked extra carefully on this part of the road.

I don't have the White Horse Jade Plate, and I don't know if I can stop the Bone Eater, but in this caution, we passed safely and didn't touch anything.

After passing through Hakuba Slope, we couldn't help but speed up.

Billowing smoke and fiery red flames were faintly visible in the distance, and we could even smell soot in the air.

While we were in Hakuba Village, we suddenly stopped.

I saw that on the edge of the huge square stone pier, a row of firewood was burning together.

When I saw the stone pier, the whole person suddenly stopped, and my eyes froze.

"Peng Jiahe!"

Jiang Lai on the side had already screamed anxiously, and Li Zhu'er covered her mouth with a look of surprise.

In the midst of the raging flames, on the huge stone pier, a man in gorgeous clothes was lying there quietly, motionless.

"Damn it!"

Looking at the motionless figure, my face was extremely pale, and I couldn't help but curse. Hurry up and run over there.

Picking up the fire with a stick, I ran towards the figure.

The figure wears a golden and ugly mask, and the red and black tones are not only weird, but also uncomfortable in the light of the fire.

A gorgeous golden silk robe, the robe was embroidered with all kinds of animals and plants, and the most striking thing was that the chest of the robe was a picture of phoenix nirvana.

"Jiahe ......"

My eyes were fixed on the figure, at her motionlessness, in disbelief, calling, but never getting a response.

I slowly approached, my hand reaching for the mask, about to lift it.

Suddenly, a pair of black, long-haired hands reached out from under the ornate robes and grabbed my hand.

In the cold, I felt my whole body stiffen, and faintly, I smelled a rotten and familiar smell.
