Chapter 11: The Evil Scourge (Part I)
But no one came out for sure, and the matter was clear, and it could only be regarded as speculation.
But on the dam there were already desperate cries, and weak people began to cry.
The originally harmonious and peaceful town fell apart overnight, like a purgatory on earth.
Nie Dashi stood outside the crowd, looking sad, wanting to say something to his familiar neighbors, but found that he couldn't muster the slightest courage.
And Nie Niangzi didn't know when she had already held Xiao'er and stood behind Nie Dashi, she whispered to Nie Dashi: "Xianggong, at this time, do whatever you want?" Don't wait until it's too late. β
Nedas nodded, knowing that it was time for him to stand up and say something.
He squeezed into the crowd, and with his prestige in the town, no one embarrassed him at such a time, and let him in.
Nie Dashi understands in his heart that everyone has not completely collapsed now, because things have not been affirmed, and he doesn't know what the result will be in the future?
Thinking of this, Nie Dashi felt bitter in his heart.
walked to the official master's carriage, first respectfully comforted the official master, and then explained that he had something to say and wanted to borrow the top of the carriage.
Under the blood moon, the official who usually loves the people and is majestic has no idea at all, and seeing that someone is willing to come out and say a few words now, he naturally nodded in agreement when he took over this matter.
Nedash stood on top of the carriage.
The wind in the town for no reason was colder than the winter wind, which made people's hearts chill, and it also blew the hem of Nie Dashi's clothes fluttering.
At this moment, Nie Dashi suddenly felt that he was a man, and suddenly understood that a man's life, if he had the opportunity to stand up and be a hero, it would be a matter of no regrets in his life.
As he spoke, people's expressions became more and more desperate.
By the end of the day, some people were already running towards the exit of the town, and as the first man began to do so, the crowd suddenly became agitated, and then ran in all directions.
Nie Dashi understood what everyone was thinking, which was to take advantage of this moment, before that terrible monster came, to escape from the town.
He didn't stop that, sometimes, people always have to see reality with their own eyes before they can believe something? In the cold, Nie Niangzi hugged Xiao'er and said to Nie Dashi: "Xianggong, come down, let's go home." β
"Okay." Nedash jumped out of the carriage.
Before, the matter was stated, but it was only affirmed that the demon calamity was affirmed. Nie Dashi didn't explicitly say that he already knew, so he would just be resented in vain, he didn't have the great aura of the old way, just by one word, I am afraid that people would not be able to believe it, even if he knew it early, he would not escape the situation of death.
Thousands of years ago, there was no movie called "The Grim Reaper" to reveal this terrible consequence, implying that the fate is so that you can escape for a while, but you can't escape the truth of the next moment.
He just reminded him that in this last time, get together with his family and friends, and don't leave regrets.
"Mr. Nie." When Nie Dashi turned around and wanted to leave, the official master in the carriage suddenly stopped him.
Nie Dashi didn't have much affection for the official master's behavior of leaving the people to leave, but he still stopped and turned to look at the official master.
At this time, the blood moon seemed to be brighter, and the sky of the entire town reflected by the blood-colored moonlight began to redden slightly.
In the cold wind, there can be inexplicable fog on this day, and it can't be blown away.
The buildings of the whole town, under the blood moon, in the twilight, actually have a different kind of cruel beauty.
"Mr. Nie, I don't ask you how you are so sure of the demon disaster, I just want to ask Mr. Nie one thing, is there no escape?" There was a glimmer of hope in the official's expression.
Nie Dashi was a little unbearable, saying that he fled first, which was wrong.
But he is definitely not a wicked person on weekdays, and who is not a little selfish in human nature? Only those who can restrain themselves are called heroes, but how many heroes can there be throughout the ages?
"There is no way to escape, and even if you do, you will not be able to escape this death." But now, Nie Dashi has no way to hide it.
The official lord looked at Nie Dashi and was silent for a while, and suddenly took a few steps backwards for no reason, and was supported by the loyal subordinates beside him.
At this time, from the south side of the town, desperate cries were already heard, 'There is no road, why is there no road?' 'I can't get out, why can't I get out, where is this gate?'
From the side, Nie Dashi's words have been confirmed!
To the south is the nearest city gate, and the official will not be unclear about what these shouts mean.
He looked at Nie Dashi and smiled miserably, and suddenly said to Nie Dashi: "What Mr. Nie thinks, I don't know. But I'm not going to be reconciled. β
With that, he turned around and stepped into the carriage.
"My lord, where are you going?" A subordinate next to him asked.
"Go home, mobilize all the manpower, and gather all the people in the town to gather here, and the women and children will hide in the Tiannu Temple behind here! Since you can't dodge, then try your best to fight, and if you can survive, you can survive. "Nie Dashi is right, this official is not a wicked person, a bad official.
Before, I was blinded by selfishness, but after affirming the consequences, I still made the right decision as soon as possible.
And the attitude of protecting women and children made Nie Dashi regain a little admiration in his heart.
But can the outcome be changed? For thousands of years, perhaps it is this kind of fighting spirit that does not accept fate, human beings have been able to continue to move forward, if it is not for the slightest unwillingness, this pace of progress will stop.
It's just that tenacious living is an attitude.
Acceptance is also an attitude.
The things between life and death are different from other things, if you are unwilling, ask yourself what can you do when you are alive? What can it bring to the whole world? I asked myself what kind of Cheng dΓΉ can shine in my limited life?
Maybe it's also an attitude?
Nie Dashi actually had such an 'enlightenment', but at this moment, he just wanted to spend the rest of his time quietly with Nie Niangzi.
The fog in the town is getting heavier and heavier, and when you leave the dam, you can still see a clear scene, but it is like a thin veil, and when you get home, it will not take long for you to be like a thick fog, and you don't want to see the scenery within ten meters around.
Nie Dashi sat at the table speechless, a pot of warm wine had become cold, but it did not prevent him from continuing to drink.
Nie Niangzi put Xiao'er next to Nie Dashi and began to clean up in the house, in fact, there was nothing to clean up, mainly because the clothes made for Xiao'er in the past few months were wrapped into a package.
The package is not big or small, but it is prepared with clothes for children from now to 6 or 7 years old, and a mother's heart is melted into it.
By the time the package was packed, the fog outside the window was thicker.
But the light of the blood moon seemed to be tenacious, and it could penetrate the fog and fall on the window lattice with a bright red.
There was a boiling voice on the side of the dam, and it seemed that the official had really organized everyone in the last time as he said.
It's okay, if it was at the last moment, it was desperate to die, for many people, it would be willing, right? Besides, the wife and children at home are in the temple behind them, and there is no regret about it.
"Xianggong, what should we do next? Do you want to go, or stay in this house, or go to the dam? Nie Niangzi naturally heard these movements, but she couldn't make up her mind, so she could only ask Nie Dashi.
"Wait, wait for this bronze mirror to have a different reaction, and then make a decision." Nedas drank a glass of wine, and in his heart, it was a bitter drink for the dying neighbor.
Natural disasters,*, wars, diseases, and so on throughout the ages, there has never been a shortage of mass deaths.
It's so hard to live, and God is so ruthless.
But after all, generations have survived, multiplied, become better, and can think more, is it God's affection?
Or is it that after all, the evil side of the human heart brings about the anger that it brings to the sky, or does it have to be repaid by the people themselves? God just gave warning again and again?
How did Nedas find himself able to figure out these things? It's like at least war, isn't it a killing between people themselves?
It seems that many questions are unsolvable, and it seems that many questions have already been answered, but for the whole world, it is easier said than done, because they can't restrain the desire and evil in their hearts.
These things made Nie Dashi think about it, and he forgot to drink the wine in the cup.
There are no more watchmen, and I don't know what time it is? I can only calculate by a general feeling, and I'm afraid it's almost time (23 o'clock to 1 o'clock).
The night is dewy!
At this time, the whole town suddenly blew violently, followed by a cry that I don't know what it was, as if thousands of troops had arrived in the town in an instant!
The life that was still boiling on the dam before suddenly became extremely quiet, and Nie Dashi's hand holding the wine glass shook, and the wine in the cup was already cold, and half of the glass was spilled on the table.
"Xianggong!" Nie Niangzi couldn't help but hold Nie Dashi's hand, and her whole palm was cold.
Even if she has been mentally prepared, when this moment comes, which woman will not have a trace of fear?
Nie Dashi is much calmer than others, he is a man, and all he has left is to keep the child safe no matter what, if he and his wife are destined to die, at least let him die in front of his wife, and protect them with his last life.
So, he was calm.
After drinking the residual wine in the cup in one gulp, Nie Dashi stood up and said to Nie Niangzi: "Don't panic, I'll go and see how the bronze mirror reacts?" β
Now, I can only rely on the bronze mirror left by the old way.
While speaking, Nie Dashi patted Nie Niangzi's shoulder, and Nie Niangzi hugged Xiao'er tightly and nodded.
Nie Dashi strode to the door by candlelight and pushed open the wooden door of the house.
Outside the door, the fog was so thick that he couldn't even see a qiΔ in his small courtyard clearly, and there was a trace of black gas in the fog, but it was always about half a meter away from his door.
Nie Dashi calmed down for a moment and turned his head to look at the bronze mirror above the door frame.
