The intense sunlight scorched the earth, and the world seemed to be a bright white and humming cicadas.

A young couple, walking on the mountain path with difficulty, sweat dripped down their foreheads, dripped into the scorched earth, and then disappeared into the world at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Wow-wow-"

I don't know when, with the breeze, from the heaven and earth came a crisp baby cry, this cry like a clear spring flowing into the hearts of the two, at this moment, the irritable cicada song was turned to the lowest hidden in the background sound, the green began to spread in the bright white world, the dense and flourishing green trees and green vines on both sides of the canyon are like a picture scroll that is unfolding, one after another. The tired bodies of the two also seemed to be re-energized.

"Wow-wow-"

The two of them walked happily in the direction of the sound. Under a huge willow tree, the two found the abandoned baby, and the wife excitedly ran under the tree and picked up the baby.

Can......

"Hee-hee-hee" "Another fooled fool!" "Hahaha"

At the moment when the wife picked up the baby, the noisy cicadas swept back like a retreating flood with the majesty of the sky, accompanied by the sound of small chatters and snickering around them.

The wife's face sank, as if she noticed something unusual, turned to look at her husband behind her, and time was stretched slender and slender at this moment: a group of fierce robbers were swinging big knives at her husband, and the husband was frightened, and took desperate steps forward, trying to escape the big knife that was gradually falling, but his body seemed to be filled with lead, and his movements were so slow that he couldn't escape the shadow of the knife, and then there was a stretched scream, and the blood slowly sprayed out.

"No!" accompanied by the wife's shocking cry, the husband collapsed in a pool of blood.

"This woman seems to be good-looking. "Indeed!" "Let's be happy again!" ...... The robbers slowly walked towards their wives.

The wife held the baby in her arms tightly and crouched in horror in the circle of robbers.

"Hahaha......" The whole world echoed with the lewd laughter of the robbers.

And all of this is reflected in a pair of clear eyes.

The world is back to bright white, and all the details are gradually swallowed up.

............

After the sky cleared, Han Xin followed Na Wu to the front of Liangmiao Village, which had a gate at a dangerous entrance. When the name did not arrive, the villagers guarding the gate opened the gate, and the two were able to enter the village.

There are many wide places in the village, like a racecourse, a place to practice archery, like a military fortress.

"How can such a small village have such facilities?" Han Xin sighed quietly.

As soon as they arrived in the village, the nearby villagers, regardless of men, women and children, all ran over to greet Nano, and they were extremely enthusiastic, but everyone looked at Han Xin with a trace of indescribable weirdness.

"Hey, Nano, you're finally back! Thanks to you, you didn't cause a catastrophe that day. An old man with a beard with a scar on his forehead came over and said, it was the village chief of Liangmiao Village.

"How's that kid doing?"

"Well, I'm just going to discuss this matter with you? Xiao Zhuang has become unstable again since yesterday. ”

Han Xin, who was on the side, listened to it, and couldn't help but have doubts in his heart, and asked, "What happened?"

"Who is this girl?"

"My apprentice. Before Han Xin could speak, Ming Wu preemptively said.

At this time, the village chief told the story of the Liang army's attack.

............

Half a month ago, Liang Jun passed by here, and after some robbery, he arrested everyone and prepared to burn them to death.

"Have you counted everything?" shouted a general with a torch in hand.

"General, all the useful things have been moved out. A soldier reported.

The general held the torch and glanced at the villagers tied to the wood, all of whom were begging and struggling, except for a boy of about ten years old, who not only did not cry, but also had a strange smile on his face.

The general wondered, but didn't think much of it, and threw the torch in his hand onto the stake made of haystacks and wood. Soon, a raging fire broke out. Through the flames, the general took one last look at the villagers struggling in despair, and then slowly walked backwards on his horse.

However, the horse did not go a few steps, but heard a heart-rending scream behind him, and then, a gust of wind blew, and the general saw the whole land speeding towards him.

"Huh?" After a moment of doubt, followed by infinite fear, the general found that his head had left his body and landed on the ground.

The war horse screamed and rushed towards the army with the general's headless body.

Immediately afterward, the screams of soldiers were heard in the army in front.

After a while, the world returned to calm, and the entire 2,000 Liang troops who came to rob have been wiped out.

Before the general had time to make a surprised expression, a twisted monster was reflected in his dark eyes, and the monster licked the blood remaining between the sharp nails, and then pounced on the villagers on the stake......

............

"Just when we all thought we were going to die this time, Nano just appeared, subdued the monster, and saved us. The village chief continued, "And this monster is the one that Xiao Zhuang has transformed. Only then did we find out that Xiao Zhuang was cursed by the ghosts and gods at some point. ”

And the so-called ghosts and gods, no one knows what they are. I don't know when he began to wander the world, cursing some newborn children for thousands of years. Every cursed child has a blue axe mark on his chest, which will gradually change color as he gets older, and if it turns completely red, then the cursed person will become a bloodthirsty demon.

"Aren't you from this village?, who are you?" Hearing this, Han Xin was surprised to find that the uncle in front of him was not a villager here.

"I don't know. "The farthest thing that I can't remember is that four years ago, my weak self came out of a cave alone, holding the long knife in my hand. After that, he wandered around, trying to find his memories, but found nothing.

Only then did Han Xin understand that the man in front of him had lost his memory, no wonder he couldn't remember his name.

Led by the village chief, the two walked deeper into the village. And the scene here also surprised Han Xin. In the midst of the rubble, the village chief opened an iron door and walked into a dark dungeon. A gust of wind struck, Han Xin couldn't help but shiver, and his hand unconsciously grabbed Mingwu's arm.

When the two entered the dungeon, the village chief lit an oil lamp and led the way. After a descending flight of steps, the two of them saw the scene in the dungeon. The dungeon is very spacious, with twelve cells neatly arranged in two rows. In the interrogation room, all kinds of torture instruments were available, and under the dim light of the oil lamp, the torture instruments were glowing with a faint blood, and there seemed to be blood stains on the ground that were difficult to wipe clean. It all seemed so strange, why would an ordinary village have these facilities?

"Jingle bell, jingle bell" There was a sound of iron shackles in front of them, and the three of them walked over quickly.

When the light shone into the cell, the village chief and Han Xin were frightened by the scene in front of them, this was a boy dripping with blood, in this cold winter, the boy was only wearing tattered and thin cloth clothes, his feet were covered with iron chains, his hair was scattered, his eyes were festering, as if they had been smashed by some blunt object, and the most peculiar thing was that on the boy's chest, a crossed blue axe mark flashed with a faint red light.

"Why are you so ruthless, no matter what, he's still a child!" Han Xin shouted angrily and walked towards the little boy.

"Don't come near him, little girl!" the village chief hurriedly stopped, but it was too late, Han Xin had already come to the little boy.

——!A creepy roar came from the little boy's mouth, followed by a bloody mouth that pounced on Han Xin. I saw that in the bloodshot mouth, two rows of neat and sharp teeth flashed with cold light, and it looked like the mouth and teeth of a great white shark were forcibly put into a person's face.

At this moment, Han Xin was already frightened and overwhelmed, and closed his eyes tightly, but the expected pain did not come as expected, Han Xin opened his eyes carefully, only to find that the little boy's mouth was firmly bitten on Nano's arm, and blood oozed through Nano's thin clothes and dripped to the ground.

"Uncle Nameless!" Han Xin felt remorse for his reckless behavior and was about to apologize, but found that there was no pain or anger on Nameno's calm face, only a trace of pity, as if he wanted to be bitten.

After a while, the little boy regained his composure and slowly let go of his mouth, and the scary mouth just now returned to normal.

After the three of them left the cell, the village chief said: "Xiao Zhuang is no longer saved, we are discussing how to kill him, we have to think of a perfect plan, lest he become a demon again and kill all the villagers." ”

"It's simple, you just need to tie Xiao Zhuang firmly with iron chains, don't be broken free by him like last time, and burn him to death. But," Nano continued, "Before that, I want this child to live the life of an ordinary child for a few days. ”

"This ......," said the village chief, a little embarrassed.

"Don't worry, I won't let him escape. ”

"Well, since Ming Wudu said so, let's let Xiaozhuang go for the time being. But, tomorrow night, we will kill him, or the villagers will be restless day and night. ”

......

With Xiaozhuang, who had restored his calm, under the arrangement of the village chief, he and Han Xin lived in an idle hut.

It was already dark, and after the village chief left, Nano handed over Xiaozhuang to Han Xin.

"Xiaozhuang will be handed over to you tonight. ”

"But......" Thinking of what had just happened, Han Xin couldn't help but tremble all over.

"Don't worry, Xiaozhuang is not terrible. Now, he's just a poor kid. After saying that, Nano fell asleep alone as if he was in a hurry to be reincarnated.

Han Xin looked at Xiao Zhuang's appearance, and a slight chill arose in his heart, "Why, Mingwu wants to take care of such a child?" ”

"Sister, where is this?" Xiao Zhuang suddenly pulled Han Xin's sleeve and said.

Hearing Xiao Zhuang's innocent child's voice, and then looking at his dirty but innocent face, Han Xin's nervous heart suddenly relaxed a little. Han Xin then replied with a smile: "In one room." ”

"Isn't it a prison cell?"

"No, don't worry, you can sleep soundly tonight. However, before going to bed, my sister has to give you a good bath. ”

"Is Xiao Zhuang dirty?" Xiao Zhuang touched his body and sniffed it carefully. "It does smell a little, and I don't think it's been a long time since I've taken a shower. ”

"You wait first, I'll go boil the water. ”

"Hmm. ”

......

When Xiao Zhuang stripped naked and entered the bathtub, Han Xin was stunned, Xiao Zhuang's body was covered with scars, new and old, countless, and there didn't seem to be a single complete and clean skin on his body. "How can there be so many injuries?!" Han Xin's hand holding the towel couldn't help but tremble, she didn't know how to wipe it so that she wouldn't touch these scars, so as not to hurt the boy in front of her, who was less than eight years old. Now what is holding her hand is not a towel, but like a heavy stone, and the boy in front of her is like a shelled egg, all Han Xin can do is to do all his strength to avoid the stone from scratching the egg.
