Chapter 18: Helplessness

With a keen sense of living creatures, the female zombie chased after Xia Beifeng and Ye Baiyu all the way.

"Master, why did you provoke her in the first place?" Xia Beifeng asked Ye Baiyu curiously as he ran, "When she let us go, couldn't we just go?" ”

"Oh...... That's it. Ye Baiyu stopped and glanced back.

The woman's figure was quite far away from them, and she could only vaguely see the brightly colored clothes on her body, and she should not be able to catch up with the two of them for a while.

The road they had run through was now covered with pale blue flames.

Those flames flickered and flickered, like countless green stars, appearing and disappearing between the trees and meadows, and it was very beautiful.

Of course, it might have been better if they just floated quietly on the side of the road, and didn't rely on the large number of them to pester the woman endlessly.

"Alas...... I'll tell you the truth. Ye Baiyu glanced up at the gloomy rain clouds in the sky, and smiled kindly at Xia Beifeng: "Actually, I also think that it is not easy for that girl to cultivate for so many years, and I won't say much about killing and harming people, and that's not something we can manage...... And we're not that much of a righteous person, are we? ”

Then what are you still blocking her to fight?

Xia Beifeng nodded and looked at Ye Baiyu suspiciously.

"The point is that she is just a few days away from cultivating a drought fish!" Ye Baiyu sighed as if singing, "Drought! There will be a great drought when you are born! It's no match for anything else, and whether she wants it or not, it's a nuisance to us! …… And if she was in a deep mountain and old forest, it would be fine. But I have to spend time in a place where people live. ”

Xia Beifeng listened and seemed to understand what Ye Baiyu wanted to say.

"What era is it now, and it's too unscientific to have a big drought and no harvest for three years, right? So no matter what. Can't let her affect the weather! Ye Baiyu shouted loudly: "Do you know how far the grain production base is from this!" ”

"Master. You don't have to say it. Xia Beifeng patted Ye Baiyu's shoulder hard, held his forehead with his other hand, and said in a sad tone: "I understand." ”

"It's good that you get it." Ye Baiyu took Xia Beifeng's hand off his shoulder, held Xia Beifeng's hand tightly with his own hands, and said solemnly: "Regiment Leader, this important task will be handed over to you after the break." ”

After he said this, he shook Xia Beifeng's hand vigorously. The expression looked very serious and sad.

Looking at Xia Beifeng's eyes, it was like looking at a revolutionary martyr.

The woman shook off a few flames and took a few steps forward, a few more blue flames on the hem of her skirt.

The woman stomped her foot angrily. Shake the flames off your body.

"No, commissar." Seeing this, Xia Beifeng also instantly possessed the actor, and grabbed Ye Baiyu's wrist with his other hand, trying to pull out the hand he was holding. At the same time, he said in a firm tone: "Of course, such a glorious opportunity after the break is to be given to your old man." Don't worry, I will inherit your will and fight the evil forces to the end! ”

The woman slapped the growing flames on the corner of her skirt and roared in the direction of the two of them.

"Commander......"

Ye Baiyu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to continue to say something.

"You two have no end to the second secondary disease!" The sparrow sat on a branch in mid-air, and shouted at the two people who were staging the "master-apprentice relationship" below: "That woman has come out of her old home, Ah Yu, don't you hurry up." ”

Ye Baiyu and Xia Beifeng quickly let go of their four hands that were tangled together, and glanced at each other with disgust.

The sparrow bites a tiny twig in its beak. Sitting on the tree with Erlang's legs crossed, he covered his face helplessly.

Xia Beifeng patted the corner of his clothes. took two steps back and looked at Ye Baiyu's back.

A few minutes later, the woman shook off a few more flames, and was less than ten meters away from them, so close that they could already see each other's eyebrows.

"This girl has been waiting for a long time."

Ye Baiyu stood in the middle of the road with his hands behind his back, smiled at the woman, and raised a hand.

His long sleeves swayed gently with his movements.

The woman took a nervous step back, fearing something strange flying out of his sleeve.

This time, there really wasn't anything flying out. Instead, the flames scattered all over the roadside quickly gathered around Ye Baiyu, as if they had received some order, and began to revolve around Ye Baiyu rapidly, like meteors, dazzling to see.

The color of the flame should have been dim, and even the lighting was barely enough. But when they got together, they were bright and dazzling, and the white feathers standing in the center of them were like a huge torch.

It's still cyan.

For a moment, Xia Beifeng was looking at Ye Baiyu, who was standing with his hands in front of him, and even had the illusion that he seemed to have always been so immortal.

The woman tilted her head in confusion, her steps stopped, and she suddenly lost her sense of the two men.

Although Ye Baiyu was standing in front of her, for some reason, she only felt a bunch of annoying flames floating in front of her.

The aura of the white feather in the center of the flame disappeared without a trace.

Ye Baiyu raised his eyebrows, took a step back, and pointed to the ground in front of him.

A little spark slowly fell from his fingers to the ground.

The moment the spark touched the ground, a flame rose from the ground.

This time, the flames were normal orange, and when the flames rose, the scorching aura also followed.

The flames followed an invisible trail on the ground and quickly spread to the woman's feet, forming a complex pattern around the woman, enveloping her in flames.

"Look at the poor Dao's 'Qiankun Four Elephant Flame Crematorium'......" Ye Baiyu raised his head and laughed a few times, and shouted to the woman standing in the flames looking around blankly: "Look at me now, I will come to subdue you demon!" ”

As he spoke, he drew his knife. He gestured at the woman from afar.

Xia Beifeng tugged at his collar and dragged him to his side, nodding at the woman.

"Girl, you stay here by yourself for a while, and we'll leave first today."

"Will you let me finish my lines?" Ye Baiyu angrily turned his head to look at Xia Beifeng behind him.

"I can't." Xia Beifeng kicked away the gasoline barrel in front of him. He beckoned to the sparrow, "Sparrow, let's go." ”

The sparrow put down its cocked legs and tilted its head and smiled at the summer north wind.

"Xiaobei, what should I do if I'm too lazy to leave by myself?"

After saying this, she directly turned into a white eagle and landed on Xia Beifeng's shoulder.

"Hey......" Xia Beifeng tilted his head to look at the birds on his shoulder.

The bird immediately put its head under its wings, ready to play dead.

Ye Baiyu narrowed his eyes. Secretly stretched out a thumbs up to the sparrow.

So the sparrow shrank his head deeper.

A thunderbolt exploded in the sky and fell far into the mountains.

There was a faint sound in the mountains, as if a boulder had been struck by the thunderbolt. Fell into the valley.

"Let's go back to sleep today." Xia Beifeng said and looked up at the sky again.

In just a few hours, the clouds in the sky seemed to be thicker again, and the frequency of small lightning flashes became more frequent.

The frequent thunder never stopped, making people more and more upset.

Xia Beifeng waved at the woman. Turn around and walk in the direction of the small village.

"Master. I think that girl has a good temper, haven't you thought to talk to her properly? ”

"I can't talk about it." Ye Baiyu staggered two steps with Xia Beifeng before saving his collar from Xia Beifeng's hands, and looked at Xia Beifeng with a headache.

"I know what you're trying to say, but this girl really can't be solved by talking. She has lived here for more than a thousand years, and it is impossible for us to let her move obediently. Leaving her hometown, it is a death for her, no matter how she thinks about it, it is better to stay here. I can't beat the one who pulls us as a cushion before he dies. ”

Xia Beifeng lowered his head and thought for a while.

"Hmm......"

He tried to find some reason to refute Ye Baiyu's words. As a result, after thinking about it, I found that this matter was indeed just like what Ye Baiyu said. It's a dead end.

Ye Baiyu followed Xia Beifeng for a while, looked at his tangled appearance, and said again: "Don't think too much." If something really happens, I'm still on top, and I can't take your turn anyway...... And there may be a turnaround for the better. ”

"Really?" Xia Beifeng asked perfunctorily, but there were three big words "I don't believe it" written on his face.

The sparrow also pulled its head out of its wings at some point, and tilted its head curiously to look at Ye Baiyu.

"I don't know yet, but how do I count this girl as a dead end, and I'm afraid she won't be able to transform in the end, as for why...... You'll probably know when the time comes. When Ye Baiyu said this, he retracted his hand into his sleeve and shook it tightly, and even bruised tendons erupted on his wrist.

"Although she has been dead for so many years, she has never come out to make any trouble. It's just that I went to kill the family surnamed He a few days ago, and it is estimated that there is a reason...... It's that Yue Yao......"

Xia Beifeng wanted to turn around and ask what was wrong with Yue Yao, but he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Ye Baiyu's frowning brow.

Don't ask.

He turned and raised an eyebrow at the sparrow on his shoulder.

The sparrow looked back at him suspiciously.

"Let's not talk about that. Master, can you give me back the gas money? Gasoline has risen lately. ”

Ye Baiyu laughed when he heard this, let go of the fist hidden in his sleeve, and directly raised his leg and kicked Xia Beifeng's waist.

"I have worked so hard to support you for so many years, and you even have to count the barrel of gasoline with me so clearly! It really broke my heart! ”

Xia Beifeng bent his eyes, ran two steps forward, looked back at Ye Baiyu, and raised his chin at him.

"My dad is the one who raised me...... And my uncle. It's not your old business. ”

Hearing this, Ye Baiyu clutched his chest and took a step back, a shocked expression appeared on his face.

Xia Beifeng didn't give him a chance to speak, and quickly made up for it.

"I've always remembered you eating and drinking at our house since I was a child. Now my brother is an adult. You still have nothing to do and go to our house to eat and drink, and you haven't grown at all. ”

Ye Baiyu laughed first when he heard this, and then threw something at Xia Beifeng.

The sparrow was so frightened by this that it fluttered its wings and flew into the sky.

Xia Beifeng tilted his head and reached out to catch what Ye Baiyu threw over.

He spread out his hand, lowered his head and glanced at the crimson walnut in his hand, and looked up at Ye Baiyu suspiciously.

"That one just broke down, I thought I wouldn't be able to play it anyway, so I'll give you the rest of it." Ye Baiyu explained with a smile, turned his head to look at a small stone on the side of the road, and sighed softly.

"It's a pity."

The last sentence he said was so soft that almost no one could hear it, and as soon as he said it, it dissipated into the wind.

**********************************************************

At three o'clock in the second half of the night, the only intersection into the village.

The figure of a woman approached.

Her current appearance is really not good, it can be regarded as embarrassing. There were tiny blades of grass on her body, and the bun on her head was scattered, and a strand of hair fell from the side of her face and was pulled back behind her ears.

She paused in front of the three cars parked side by side at the entrance of the village, and looked puzzledly ahead.

With a sad expression on her face, she looked at the already dark village in front of her, and her mouth moved slightly.

"Oops...... This girl, I'm sorry to lie to you for so long. ”

The sparrow sat on the roof of Xia Beifeng's car, looking at the woman with his chin propped up.

She was draped in a men's coat that almost completely enveloped her petite body, revealing only a small face.

When the woman heard this, she looked up and saw the sparrow sitting on the roof of the car.

"Don't you think you can't find your way?" The sparrow smiled and said to the woman, "If you can't find your way, go back, don't waste it here." ”

The woman didn't move, just stood in front of the car, looked up at the sparrow, opened her mouth, and had a hint of pleading in her eyes.

"Why are you bothered, it's useless for you to beg me, it's useless to stand here all the time. Anyway, you can't find your way, and in the end, when it's dawn, don't you still have to go back to your hometown? It's better to go back now. ”

The woman still held her head up and winked at the sparrow.

"In that case, let's both spend it here." The sparrow shrugged indifferently and said to the woman, "Anyway, it's only a matter of a few hours, and I don't have to sleep, just wait with you until dawn." ”

The woman stepped back silently, looking at the sparrow quietly.

The sparrow looked down boredly and played with the buttons on his clothes for a while. When he looked up again, he saw that the woman was still in her original position, standing in front of her, as if her feet had taken root.

"Oh, are you tired of this girl?"

"You've been waiting here for her to die, why are you so dead-eyed?"

"Ah, girl, are you bored?"

"Girl, do you know how to play with the rope? Let's play with the rope, shall we? ”

The woman looked at the hands stretched out in front of her, and the white cotton thread in those hands, took two steps back expressionlessly, and continued to stand at the entrance of the village in a daze, but never looked at the sparrow again.

The sparrow had no choice but to withdraw his hand depressedly, hugging his knees and accompanying the woman in a daze.

It wasn't until the rooster in the village made its first croak that the woman frowned, took a deep look at the seemingly calm and peaceful mountain village in front of her, and turned around and walked towards her graveyard.

The sparrow sat on the roof of the car and watched her walk away, before finally breathing a sigh of relief.

She held out a hand into the air. Spread your palms, shake them again, and spread them out again.

A few copper coins suddenly tumbled out from the ground at the intersection, and flew towards the sparrow's palm with a few "whoosh" times.

"Those two people are bold enough, they bully her and can't see it, and they dare to fool such a person when they bury a few copper coins." The sparrow puffed out his cheeks and counted the copper coins in his hand, and after making sure that it was correct, he looked up at the direction the woman was walking.

The woman's figure had long since disappeared from her sight.

"I didn't expect them to be deceived."
