Chapter 386: Exploiting Loopholes

On a ditch with a depth of only five meters and a width of tens of meters, you can clearly see the messy footprints, these footprints are deep and shallow, but there is nothing peculiar, but there are no peculiar places, but there are some footprints turned into small puddles that reflect the light, but its color is a bright red, and you must smell a strong smell of blood when you walk in.

Suddenly, at the end of the ditch, there was a sound of footsteps shaking like a mountain, and the noise around it was instantly suppressed.

The sound of footsteps continued to enter the sight of people on both sides from far to near, and I saw a group of men wearing coarse cloth robes and a red belt around their waists, running wildly at the bottom of the ditch with a red complexion, and a thick and dignified taste could be seen in their eyes.

It was only because there was a group of two curved horns on the top of their heads, the sharp horns seemed to be coated with a layer of cold light, and the pair of scarlet eyes revealed an extremely fierce madness, which was caused by the red belt tied around their waists.

From time to time, the men running behind looked back, and their hearts beat more and more violently, and the docility of the herd, which had long since ceased to plough the fields, was frantically closing the distance, threatening to deal them a heavy blow, so as to warn them not to provoke them.

"Bastard, don't be next to Lao Tzu, get out of my way..."It is this step by step that causes them to become more eager to run in front of others, so that they fall into a kind of chaotic running all the time, either you surpass me, or I surpass you, rushing forward, but the charge will inevitably be crowded, and naturally there are angry scoldings coming from the mouths of people who are dragged down by crowding.

They have forgotten who they are, they are no longer the lowly serfs, the poor, they only know that they cannot let the ploughing oxen poke themselves out of a bloody hole because they are running slowly, and that will be the result they fear the most, and the result they least want to see.

But the more people were like this, the more the crowd became like mud, and the speed of the forward rush was sharply reduced due to the entanglement, which gave the ploughing ox a chance to come in front of him, and the ploughing ox's head had already been lowered, and the pair of curved horns were pointed directly at the people who dared to provoke their anger in front of them, and some of the people who could not dodge were immediately hit by the horns, and the screams came from the whitened mouth.

Immediately afterwards, the horn pierced the human body due to the momentum, so that the internal organs came out of the tip of the horn, but before the man could react, the ploughing ox seemed to be very dissatisfied with the fact that he was carrying something, and shook his head vigorously, and with a hissing sound, the blood hole was magnified several times, so that the already dying wounded person screamed in desolation, and then threw it to the side like a broken kite with the blood spilling on the ground.

At this moment, the faces of the people who saw such a bloody scene all changed greatly, even the people in the audience were a little white, these people were all daughters, and it was inevitable that there would be some nausea and nausea when they saw this scene, including Li Yan, who had long since dared not look at the people who were racing with the ploughing cattle, and even their ears were tightly blocked, blocking the screams outside.

"No wonder he cares so much about Li Yan, it turns out that this is the case!" Tao Ying looked at Li Yan's frightened appearance, and a trace of thought flashed in her eyes, thinking that men basically have one virtue, that is, they like to show their bravery, she can't show her weak side, so naturally she can't let Tang Heng have the possibility of protecting her, and then, she looked up at the sky and reminded: "It's already afternoon, it's time to set off for Tang Wangcheng after this wave!"

Sure enough, less than a second after this wave ended, Tang Fu took the lead in standing up and walked towards the location of the horse by himself, Tang Yu and his wife naturally followed behind Tang Fu and did not say hello to Tao Ying and the others.

"It's all over, Tang Heng, why don't they see anyone!" Li Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief because she didn't need to watch the bloody Bull Running Festival again, and at the same time, she also got up quickly like oil on the soles of her feet, and when she walked to the place where the horses were, the person she missed the most did not appear immediately, giving her a safe port for catharsis, prompting her to forget the bloody scene behind her for a while, and said in an angry tone.

"Yan'er, they have something to deal with, isn't this exactly what you want to see?" Wan Ling'er shook her head helplessly and reminded in a low voice.

That's right, Li Yan did everything possible to want Tang Heng not to stick together with Tao Ying, as long as it was stuck together, it would be cooked with raw rice, and now, if Tang Heng didn't appear, it meant that the matter had not been resolved, and it would naturally drag on for a while.

Li Yan nodded in understanding as soon as she heard this, she knew that one more second was a second, but she knew that she couldn't hide from the fifteenth day of the first year, and she would have to face the facts one day, but she didn't continue to complain about Tang Heng now, she just prayed that Tang Heng would do as long as possible, so that they would leave for Luoyang.

Tao Ying didn't pay attention to Wan Ling'er's whispering in Li Yan's ear, but she could guess a little, who called her alone in the vicinity, and she was sneaky, and she must have nothing to do with her.

Now the person who maintains their secret relationship is hiding in the sea of people, but that person is not as idle as them to think about the problems of children's affection, and they are basically focused on things about demons.

This matter is like a steel knife stuck in the neck, the slightest carelessness will make the Tang family lose face, after all, the demon broke in without noticing, isn't this tantamount to showing off his might in front of the Tang family?

Moreover, the crowds of people are also due to the end of the Bull Running Festival and the scene of the trees falling and scattering, where they come from, they go back to where they come from, and they are much looser than crowded in a small place, and they are like ants coming out of their holes, pouring in all directions.

Li Chen and his gang naturally went with the flow, but their pace did not let the crowd overwhelm them, with their cultivation, coupled with that cold expression, the people around them who were rushing home did not dare to break in, and Li Chen was responsible for taking the lead, leading the team to slow all the way in a certain direction.

Gradually, the sky darkened without waiting for the people to quicken their pace, and the night quickly invaded from the east to the west, where there was still a fiery red light, intending to shroud the world here in darkness.

Many people who could not make it home in time began to stop planning to return home, and they prepared dry materials and other materials early and set up camp here, and the fire soon burned throughout the area, but compared to the night, it was like a fluorescent fire that could not illuminate a large area.

"That demon has no signs of staying overnight, continue to walk in that direction!" Li Chen took advantage of the night to completely envelop this heaven and earth, turned his head to Tang Heng and the others, and said softly.

Originally, they thought that the demon was going to make some noise here, but the demon was a bit like he was here to make a fuss, but now he was even more away from here, and it seemed that after watching the fun, there was no need to stay.

"There is a village less than fifteen kilometers out of that direction, he won't go straight to that village, right?" Tang Heng frowned, all kinds of signs indicated that the number of demons was large, and it was impossible not to harbor any conspiracy, which made him feel uneasy.

"The demon has stopped at that location in the village!" Li Chen also had this kind of worry, but it was useless to think too much, he continued to follow, and walked out about seven kilometers or so again, and his worry also swelled rapidly, who called Tang Heng There is a village in fifteen kilometers, and they are only about eight kilometers away from the demon, from which it can be deduced that the demon has arrived in the village.

"What is he going to do to the village?" Tang Heng frowned, unable to come up with the purpose of the demon, just because the village was basically serfs, or poor people's residences, and a group of peasants who had no resistance were not worthy of the demon's attention at all, and it was necessary to target the children of the nobles, so as to weaken the stability of the fief.

"Let's go, when you get there, you will naturally know what the hell the demon is doing!" Li Chen saw that Tang Heng couldn't think of an answer, plus the demon walked and stopped, as if he was constantly entering the house, and at the same time, the demonic aura was getting denser and denser, prompting him to understand that the mystery was about to be revealed, and immediately waved his hand and hurried to the village.

Eight kilometers is nothing for them, but they are afraid that the demons can also sense the light physique, and the range is about one kilometer, and they can't step into that kilometer range no matter what, so as not to startle the snake.

"Young Master, we can already sense the breath of the demon!" Just as they were hiding and waiting at the entrance of the village, the three golden guards finally turned pale and said in a low voice.

"The demon has already gone into the distance, let's go into the village to see what the demon has done!" Li Chen glanced at the three golden guards, the ninth-order cultivation was different, and he could actually sense the demon qi, but he thought about it and understood that the demon qi was enhanced, which was equivalent to exposing his demon identity, and now, the moment the demon qi left from the end of the village, he did not intend to continue to wait.

"Tang Heng, why is there a red lantern hanging in front of the door of some courtyards?" As soon as they entered the village, they immediately saw that the village was a little strange, just because the red lanterns were hanging high, Li Chen frowned and thought that according to the pace of the demons, it seemed that they all stopped in front of the red lanterns and entered the courtyard, but he couldn't understand the purpose of the red lanterns.

"This red lantern means that there are women in this serf's family who have reached the age of sixteen and adulthood, and as long as they reach the age of marriage, they will reach the age of marriage, and their first night rights only belong to the nobles of this fiefdom.

"And this is also a means of punishment, because the parents can't change the fate of the family, so they can only continue to face the fate of exploitation, but there are also some serfs who are willing to let the nobles take away the right of the first night, so as to get a reward that can be eaten and clothed for several years!" Tang Heng explained.

"Oh no, nine times out of ten, the women in there have already been planted in the hands of that demon!" Hearing this, Li Chen's face changed dramatically.

"What!" Tang Heng and the others were even more shocked, especially Tang Heng led a Jin Wei into a courtyard with red lanterns hanging quickly, and in less than a few seconds, he appeared in front of Li Chen and the others, his face was as gloomy and ugly as a layer of ash at the bottom of the pot, and at the same time, he didn't forget to scold and explain: "Damn, that woman has died of anger, and it is draining the vitality in her body, the demon must be here for this, our punishment method actually let the demon take advantage of the loophole!"
