How do you perceive time in the dark?

Liao Feng originally calculated, and the time for him to silently recite the "Demon Imperial Army Oath" ten times in his heart was about one pillar of incense, but when he read it twenty-nine times, he fell asleep.

By the time he woke up from his nightmare, the moon had already begun to fall, and he shook his entourage awake and asked him to wake up the other soldiers one by one.

"Alright, alright, don't sleep...... The road to promotion and fortune is ahead, but you can raise your spirits. He tried to stir up the morale of the people, but the effect was not ideal. This is also expected, even if it is himself, he is full of doubts in his heart, and he can't see the way forward, let alone the stragglers who follow him. But what can be done? No matter how dangerous the front is, it is better than the rear, where there is no way back.

Liao Feng walked towards Niujia Village again with a limp on his self-made crutches to fight for the final game.

On the other side of the mountain, Jiang Wangchen's bamboo basket has been filled with herbs, and the white moon flowers exude this faint fragrance, which smells very good, and is like a woman in the moonlight, elegant and fragrant.

Jiang Wangchen thanked: "Tonight, thanks to you, we can pick so quickly, go back tonight, I will hand it over to Sister Fang to boil, it will definitely have a good medicinal effect." ”

"It's also a little bit of our heart," Hua Youyou asked again, "Are you sure you want to go back to Yancheng tomorrow?"

"Yes, I think I can tell Brother Tie about the news about Big Brother a day earlier, and let him come forward to negotiate with the Demon Imperial Army in Yancheng, he has always had arms business dealings with the Demon Imperial Army, and this Yang Sheng should also give Big Brother Iron a little face. ”

Hua Youyou complained: "Look at you, you think about others completely, when do you worry about yourself once, don't forget, you still have the source of the curse on your body......"

"Although this curse is mixed with qi and blood, if it is 'calm' according to what High Priest Mu Bai said, it will not be a big problem, besides, if it were not for the help of the source of the curse that day, I would have died under the blood wolf. "Jiang Wangchen's feelings for the source of the curse, after the last battle with the blood wolf, began to waver, although it invaded his body, it also brought unimaginable power to himself, which made him a little obsessed.

"Your thoughts are undoubtedly to quench your thirst, and now that you have this magic sword, you don't have to rely on that source of the curse anymore. Hua Youyu looked at Jiang Wangchen in surprise and said, "Blood wolf, isn't that a demon beast from the Demon Domain, he has disappeared from the Demon Domain for a long time, how could he suddenly appear in your Dongxuan." ”

Jiang Wangchen explained: "It should be related to Cao Li. ”

......

Jiang Wangchen gave a general account of the situation that night, and the two of them talked as they walked, and Hua Youyou sighed quietly, and suddenly interrupted: "Did you ask about the smell of smoke, the smell of smoke mixed with a faint smell of blood?"

Jiang Wangchen was puzzled: "No...... Are you sure?"

Hua Youyou nodded suspiciously, and sniffed in the air again: "No, it seems to be floating from the direction of Niujia Village." ”

After he finished speaking, he and Jiang Wangchen quickened their pace, and as soon as they went around the back of the mountain, they could look down on the outline of Niujia Village, the village at night was like a child's building blocks scattered on the ground, and the sparks on the building blocks were lit, accompanied by thick smoke, and the smell of choking smoke was even more fishy.

Jiang and Hua looked at all this in front of them, their faces were pale, and Hua Youyou only left a sentence, "I'll go and see it first." And he swooped down the mountain. Jiang Wangchen was also flustered, running down the mountain, it was more difficult to control the momentum under his feet, he accidentally mixed with a stone, and the whole person flew down and rolled like a rolling stone, until he hit a big tree. The bamboo basket behind it has been crushed, and the moon flower that was too late to be handed over to Niu Fang has also been crushed into pieces.

Jiang Wangchen didn't care about this, he didn't even notice the bulging green bag on his forehead. In his eyes, there is only Niujia Village with smoke and fire now.

Hua Youyu is most disgusted by the smell of fireworks and blood, and if she usually has this smell, she will consciously avoid it. But at this time, she couldn't move her legs, and she couldn't even dodge her eyes.

On the scorched black earth, the smoke of the wild dance choked tears, and the fishy smell was even more treacherous and hideous in the tranquility, and it was difficult to calm the heart, hearing the silent roar and roar of ten thousand ways. As far as the eye could see, a terrifying scarlet blood mist filled the air, making it impossible to avoid it. Hua Youyou endured the feeling of nausea, jumped into a thatched hut, and saw a couple on the bed at a glance, their necks were cut off, and the slash marks were extremely deep, even the baby in swaddling clothes could not let go, and the ruthlessness of the attack was not seen in his life. She didn't dare to look at it more, so she fled from the hut, and was afraid that something would be missed, so she went from house to house, but the result was roughly the same, most of these unarmed villagers were killed in their sleep, and some should have been killed after being awakened. Many of them she couldn't name, but their friendly and simple faces are still fresh in her mind. Now I can only watch them lie in the unforgiving world and slowly freeze.

She finally couldn't bear to look for it anymore, so she could only shout loudly: "Is there anyone else?" How she wished someone could reply to her, but the night was quiet, the village was quiet, and even the world was quiet It was chilling. Only the footsteps behind him ran towards him urgently.

She turned to look at the man in front of her, who was as young as herself, her eyes fiery and mournful.

Hua Youyou didn't know how to speak, she just shook her head, she was already cruel enough to tell him the truth in front of her.

Jiang Wangchen roared: "It's impossible to ......" is just like what Hua Youyou did just now, every household confirmed it, but this time the despair is undoubtedly not destroying Jiang Wangchen's inner strength.

And the anxiety in Hua Youyou's heart is far more than that. She yelled at Jiang Wangchen, who was getting more and more crazy, "That's enough...... I've seen them all! They're all dead......"

Jiang Wangchen was suddenly stunned by Hua Youyou's roar, and then the belief in his heart collapsed instantly, and without the support of his will, he actually collapsed on the ground and cried: "It must be that the Yancheng Demon Imperial Army came back to take revenge on them...... It must be. ”

After Hua Youyou roared, she also squatted down, hugged Jiang Wangchen, and wanted to open her mouth to comfort, only to find that when she told the truth through her mouth, it was difficult to bear this trick after all, she lay on Jiang Wangchen's shoulder, let the tears fall one by one, silently complaining about the unfairness of fate, why did she want to loot this village that has no quarrel with the world.

In the spring, the last drizzle fell silently, diluting the blood mist in the air, there was no thunder, no sudden wind, only the sound of falling rain, nourishing this village that was originally known as a paradise, two people in the rain, hugging each other tightly to keep warm, to resist the cold in their hearts.

I don't know how long it took, Jiang Wangchen stopped his tears, waited for the pain to dry up, helped Hua Youyou up again, and asked cautiously, "Did you see it there, big brother?"

"Big brother and Sister Fang didn't find it. Hua Youyou nodded and emphasized again: "Nothing was found......

This is also good news. He is blessed with a great life, and he will definitely be fine......" Jiang Wangchen forced a laugh and said, "What about Xiaoxing......"

"I don't know Niu Zhuang's family, but I have searched for every hut, but I still haven't found ......"

After Jiang Wangchen heard this, he quickly turned around and ran towards the corner of the village, and Hua Youyou also followed closely behind him.

As soon as Jiang Wangchen pushed open the door of Niu Zhuang's house, the smell of blood came to his nose. He saw Niu Zhuang's family of four, all lying in a pool of blood, and the wound on his neck was shocking. The emotions he had just suppressed were on the verge of exploding again, and he beat his chest hard and blamed himself: "Brother, I promised you to protect our homeland, but now...... It's the brother who broke the appointment......" After he finished speaking, he pulled out the magic talisman sword, cut off his long hair, and said with determination: "Brother, I promise you once again that I will definitely break the corpses of those demon army animals in Yancheng into thousands of pieces, and avenge Niujia Village." He showed his left arm again, and carved a sword blade on it, the sword blade hated, the knife entered the flesh, and suddenly the blood oozed out, and then a layer of black gas filaments emerged from the flesh and blood and attached to the wound, and slowly coagulated, and the word "revenge" was frozen on the left arm.

After he finished doing this, he inadvertently saw Niu Zhuang remove the sheet from his hand and hold it tightly, blocking the falling darkness in it. He ripped open the sheets and found Xiaoxing, who was still asleep, and he picked him up and handed it to Hua Youyu. He kowtowed to Niu Zhuang three more times, and then resolutely turned around and left the hut.

At this time, Liao Feng also rushed to the outside of Niujia Village, he looked at the Niujia Village in front of him, how could there be the vitality of the noon, everywhere was messy, the air was also mixed with gunpowder smoke and blood, he had a faint ominous premonition in his heart, but he couldn't tell the reason, when everyone looked at each other, he still paid attention to enter the village to see what was going on.

Taking advantage of the night and the sound of rain, he entered the village and ordered his personal entourage to sneak into a house, but as soon as the entourage stepped into the house, he grabbed the door with an "ah". Frightened, Liao Feng took two steps back, and his crippled right foot almost fell without support. He raised his cane and tapped his attendant on the shoulder, "Be quiet, what's all the fuss!"

The entourage was still flustered, even a little trance-like, and said, "Dead...... He's dead...... They're all dead!"

Liao Feng urged, "What died?"

"People...... People ......" The attendant fainted in fright after holding back two words.

"It's a useless thing. Liao Feng slapped his entourage twice, and saw that his lips were purple, and he didn't react, but he was frightened. As a last resort, he pointed to another person who was usually more timid and fat.

The man didn't dare to disobey, so he had no choice but to go in and explore again. Sure enough, he escaped within a few moments, leaning on the fence and retching.

Liao Feng asked impatiently, "What is the situation?"

The man wiped away the bile and said, "A family of four, their necks were cut off by Qi Qi......"

When everyone heard this, although they didn't see it with their own eyes, their faces were like ashes, and they didn't dare to squeak, and even a few people began to retch.

Liao Feng was also frightened, and his heart was unpredictable, so he hurriedly ordered everyone to retreat: "Quick, get out of this place." ”

It's just that as soon as his voice fell, the night was dark, and in the wind and rain, a bleak floating shadow came out.
