Countless men on black horses and in animal skins roared out of the smoke-filled villages, some carrying sacks of sacked sacks. They eventually converged in a valley less than ten kilometers near the village of Lujia, where they took stock of their harvest.

Lu Lie's anger was cracked, and he couldn't wait to pounce on them directly. But he had not lost his mind, and he knew himself. If he had come out from behind the boulder at this moment, he would have been stabbed to death by the arrows before he could get within five feet of these horse thieves. If he still has the power of Shikigami now, then it can be said that it is just a horse thief or an army, and he can easily raze it. However, his body is empty, where can he summon any rose tiger and big black bull?

He suppressed the anger and uneasiness in his heart, and had to tremble and lie on the ground, waiting for the group of horse thieves to roar past and leave the village. He rushed out from behind the boulder where he was hiding, and rushed into the village in a frenzy. Then, to great disappointment, the village had long since been looted, leaving only charred houses and corpses. Lu Lie walked under the broken walls of the eaves after the arson, identifying the charred corpses of the villagers one by one, but he never found that the shape and clothing were similar to those of his parents and Su Wen. As the corpses were examined one by one, the flame of hope in Lu Lie's heart grew larger: maybe his parents did not die in the catastrophe, or they were taken prisoner by the horse thieves and other villagers to a nearby valley, or they found a safe place to hide when the catastrophe was approaching.

Near a nearby small spring, Lu Lie found the body of a very fat and tall woman. Although she was burned beyond recognition by the fire, she still maintained a posture of running forward before she died, holding a child-like charred mass in her arms, as if she was desperate for her life before she died, and she was going to throw the child who was lit by the fire to the spring that symbolizes life.

But in the end, she failed.

Lu Lie recognized that the woman was the fat woman he saw for the first time when he woke up twice.

When she was alive, Lu Lie was extremely disgusted and hated her. But after she died, Lu Lie was a little bit worried about her well. Come to think of it, although she is sloppy and impetuous, her heart is finally good, at least she has never done anything to be sorry for herself. When she woke up twice, she was the first to enthusiastically hurry to tell her parents.

And as far as I know, this woman has no children. It seems that the child in her arms, who she desperately wanted to save before she died, is not related to her by blood.

Being able to see this woman's corpse here can be regarded as a good fate for the two of them.

Lu Lie let out a long sigh, hastily dug a pit, and quickly buried the woman's body.

After he left Lujia Village, he thought for a while, and rushed to the nearby Sujia Village without stopping.

Lu Lie originally planned to tell the people of Sujia Village the news of the arrival of this gang of horse thieves. But how could his pair of human legs catch up with those bandits on horseback? When Lu Lie was about to arrive at Sujia Village, he saw the same black cloud hanging over Sujia Village from a distance. He felt a pang in his heart, and after he got close to Sujia Village, he found that this place, like Lujia Village, had already been reduced to purgatory on earth.

Lu Lie clenched his fists tightly, his nails pierced deep into the flesh, and he still didn't know that his palms were bleeding. He stood still for a long time before he stepped inside, and another corpse came to check it. And this time he was not so lucky, next to a pigsty, he saw Su Wen's corpse. Su Wen opened his big eyes before he died, staring at the sky blankly, as if he was dead. She had a feathered arrow stuck in her chest, as if it had only shallow into her lungs. An experienced person like Lu Lie could see at a glance that this little girl must have been in great pain before she died.

Lu Lie didn't speak for a long time.

How he wished that in the blink of an eye, the time and space of this world would be chaotic again. He wanted to go back to that point in time when he had just traveled to this point in time, when his parents were still alive and Su Wen was still alive. The afternoon sun shone lazily on his face, and his mother gently hugged him: "It's been seven years, and you've finally woken up." ”

But he didn't wait for time to go wrong again.

By the time Lu Lie came back to his senses and opened his eyes, it was already dark. There was silence in Sujia Village, and only a few flames were left behind by those horse thieves during the day, and they were still resisting. Su Wen's eyes were still growing silently, looking at Lu Lie. As if accusing him of why he didn't come out earlier and come to Sujia Village earlier to save himself. However, this beautiful face will never laugh or cry again, nor will it be angry or angry.

The blood on her chest had already congealed into a blood clot, and Lu Lie gently pulled out the feather arrow on her chest, dug a pit for her, and buried her in the ground.

In Lu Lie's mind, there were only two words left at this time, "revenge".

Autumn nights in the north are cold. Looking at the starless night sky overhead, I am afraid that the real winter is coming soon, and when the time comes, I don't know how many poor people will freeze to death. But what does this matter to Lu Lie, at this moment there seems to be a fire burning in his chest, and the fire is so strong that even this cold and biting north wind cannot blow it out. Lu Lie walked quickly on the land under the dark starry sky, like a lonely and cunning wolf. The anger in his chest not only did not show any intention of extinguishing as time passed, but burned more and more. He knew that if he couldn't vent his anger again, he would probably be burned alive by the fire in his chest, just like he had done in Zhu Shizhen.

A seductive and ethereal voice sounded in Lu Lie's ears: "You have changed, Lu Lie. What does this world have to do with you when so many people have died? They are just a dream, some illusion and illusion. Will you be sad and angry that someone is dying in your dreams? Go back, go back now. Go find that 'source' and go back to the world where you are supposed to be. ”

Lu Lie gritted his steel teeth and said the words that Li Yuan had repeated countless times: "What is the difference between reality and illusion." ”

When the horse thief left, a large number of horses left clear footprints on the soft and muddy earth. Those deep and shallow imprints were like a silent arrow in Lu Lie's eyes, guiding him in the direction he should go. Guided by these arrows, Lu Lie spent the night running wildly among the weeds and rice fields, and by the time he saw the valley where the horse thieves had gathered, the sky in the distance had turned slightly white.
