Chapter 33: The Vanishing Village
The carriage traveled very quickly along the avenue next to Chishui, and the wind blew in through the small window of the carriage with a rolling heat wave, and I don't know when Qianshan Dusk fell asleep on the desk, Lin Yunmo smiled softly, stretched out two slender fingers and gently tugged it, and pulled out Qianshan Dusk's steps on the bun, and her black hair poured down like a waterfall, scattered onto the brocade carpet, and there was a faint fragrance floating between the hair, and he gently smoothed it out.
Qianshan Twilight seemed to have a dream, the first time in history she had this kind of gray-black dream, she heard the crackling sound of burning flames in her ears, she raised her eyes, and saw that the air was filled with black smoke that covered the sky and the sun, a strong smell of blood and scorching smell rushed towards her, and the next moment the black smoke was dispersed by the inexplicable wind, and the blue moon hidden behind the black smoke was strangely revealed!
Her heart trembled, "Twilight...", this shout in her ears suddenly pulled her out of her dream, she looked around in a daze, her eyes gradually cleared, and her arms were also pressed sore.
"You, did you dream of me?" Lin Yunmo asked with a smile, he quietly pulled Qianshan Dui's arm and kneaded it on the acupuncture point for a while, "Are you better?"
Qianshan Twilight found that her hair was scattered again, frowning and looking around for her steps, Lin Yunmo handed over the golden hairpin in his hand, "Use this!" Qianshan Twilight took it easily, turned it over and looked at it and said, "It's Zhou Ji Zhuhua again, master, you are really good at picking things!" Lin Yunmo smiled: "Of course, my women's things are naturally the best!"
As soon as the words fell, the carriage that was originally galloping suddenly stopped suddenly because Li Ji pulled the reins hard, Qianshan Twilight stood unsteadily, and plunged into Lin Yunmo's arms, Lin Yunmo reached out and hugged her firmly, and laughed: "So impatient, I like it!"
"I like you ghost!" Chiyama Twilight struggled to sit up.
"Master, there seems to be a person on the side of the road who is seriously injured, can he be saved?" Li Ji said hurriedly.
"If it's a man, forget it, if it's a beauty...!" Lin Yunmo's voice suddenly broke off, and then there was a miserable scream, Li Ji was so frightened that he trembled, how could he dare to lift the curtain to look, and said after a while: "Master, that person is in rags, and the little one can't tell the difference between men and women" He said in his mouth, but he secretly said in his heart: "Master, you ask for more blessings!"
"Save, save, no matter whether you are male or female, whether you are beautiful or ugly, you can save!" Lin Yunmo touched his faintly aching ears, secretly glanced at Qianshan Twilight, and snorted coldly: "It's really bold, you dare to twist your master's ears." ”
Chiyama Twilight rolled her eyes and said, "Who told you to promise me that you would be clean!"
"But it's just talking, and it's not doing anything!" Lin Yunmo sighed with a bitter face.
"I can't say it!" Qianshan Twilight glared at him angrily, and then lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.
The two got out of the carriage, and saw a man with unkempt hair lying on the side of the road under the scorching sun, covered in a fishy smell, and a group of flies were circling around him, Li Ji pinched his nose and stepped forward, turned the man over with his foot, and almost didn't vomit out, it seemed to be a middle-aged man, but the skin and nose on his face had been burned, revealing hideous and disgusting flesh, and it seemed that there was no breath.
Li Ji didn't dare to stay any longer, turned around and wanted to leave, suddenly, the man stretched out his hand and grabbed the hem of Li Ji's clothes, Li Ji turned around, and saw the man's hands on the hem of the clothes that also showed bright red flesh and blood, and cried in fright: "Let go, you, you, you are a human or a ghost!"
"No, go any further, the village in front of you will burn, burn ......." The man stopped breathing before he finished speaking.
Qianshan Twilight was shocked when she heard this, but she was dragged by Lin Yunmo and did not allow her to come in front of the man.
"In front of Lishan is Lishan, and there is only one village after Lishan. She was uneasy and worried.
"Li Ji get into the carriage, let's go quickly!" Lin Yunmo also faintly felt uneasy, and jumped into the carriage after pulling Qianshan Dusk.
It was already dusk, but the sky was not half cool, there was no heat in the daytime, and at this moment it was released with full strength, and the black and oppressive mosquitoes in the mountains came in through the Xuan window, Lin Yunmo was afraid that Qianshan Twilight was too worried while driving away mosquitoes, and kept looking for easy words to tease her.
It's just that the closer you get to the mountain village, the more the ominous feeling in Qianshandu's heart becomes, and gradually, the sky is getting darker and darker, and there is a faint smell of burnt corpses floating in the air, and there seems to be a strong smell of blood.
The dream she had in the carriage flashed very clearly, the more she thought about it, the more panicked she became, trembling all over, tears in her eyes, she was so afraid, she was so afraid that something would happen to her mother. Lin Yunmo held her hand tightly and said softly: "Dusk, I am here in everything, don't be afraid!"
A crooked crescent moon rose from the sky, clear and lonely, the night owl was crying in the forest, making people's hairs stand on end, and further on, the carriage could no longer pass, Lin Yunmo got out of the carriage, pulled the twilight of the thousand mountains, and pushed through the lush bushes to move forward with difficulty. The last time he was chased and killed by the second prince, he hid near here, and then accidentally arrived at Qianshan Twilight's house.
Although Qianshan Twilight's vision at night is much better than that of the day, because she is worried about her mother at home, she is in a trance, and she almost falls down by the long vine under her feet several times.
Finally passing through the most difficult part of the road, she quickly bypassed the trees in a panic, and suddenly froze on the spot, "Dusk, slow down!" Lin Yunmo said and rushed up, but was so shocked by the scene in front of her that she couldn't speak.
The village was gone, almost burned within a hundred miles, and everywhere there were burnt black ruins, desolate and gloomy, and the stench of burning in the air was even stronger, and the smokers could barely stand on their feet.
"Mother..."Qianshan Twilight cried out heartbreakingly, tears of horror blurred her eyes, the blood in her body seemed to have coagulated, and with memory, she found the general location of her home, where the burned had long since collapsed, and became a ruin.
She broke free of Lin Yunmo's hands, her eyes were red, she was crying blood and rummaging around, her fingers had already been ground out of blood, she had long lost her pain, but in the end she was desperate to find that there was nothing.
In the dream, it was not black smoke that covered the sky, but burned ashes, and the ashes flying in the sky suffocated her, and her heart was like a knife being slashed. At this moment, her mind was filled with all kinds of muffled voices, flickering pictures of light and darkness, and consciousness that was extremely far and near.
She heard herself whisper: There is no more mother... If she had come to take her mother away earlier, she would have avoided it! Thinking like this, she could no longer suppress the sweetness in her throat, and spurted out a mouthful of blood, and her eyes gradually became pitch black.
