Chapter Eighty-Eight: Someone
Night fell quietly, the moonlight cast a clear glow, and everything fell into a deep sleep.
Su Xi was lying on the bed, thinking about how long it would take for those people to start moving, when he suddenly heard an abrupt birdsong from the door.
Soon after the sound of birds sounded, she soon heard the sound of Da Mao getting up in the room.
Da Mao quietly walked to Su Xi's side, pushed her, and whispered, "Sister, the time has come, we should be on the road."
Su Xi, "......"
It's not wrong, but why does it sound so strange?
Say what is on the road, and say that it is not okay to go?
Su Xi complained that he had thought something wrong, so he put those strange thoughts in his heart behind him and prepared to do the right thing.
"Let's go." Su Xi sat up from the bed, then looked at Da Mao beside him, waiting for the next step.
She did not forget her mission tonight, not to leave the village, but to get useful news from Da Mao.
Da Mao saw that Su Xi was ready, so he told her to follow him and walk towards the outside of the village.
Following Da Mao, Su Xi found himself walking towards a remote corner of the village.
Looking at the more and more remote places, Su Xi showed a trace of doubt in his heart.
Where is this going?
If she remembered correctly, that place should be a cliff, and there was no way out, and where were they going at this time?
However, because of Tiangang real people by his side, Su Xi was not worried. Master Zu is in hand, and I have it in the world.
Forehead.
Although Master Zu looks strange now, the cultivation of his whole body is still there, and he shouldn't encounter any problems.
She was really curious at this time, why Tiangang was so emotional.
Just as Su Xi was thinking about the problem, he suddenly noticed that there was movement in front of him, hurriedly grabbed Da Mao, and reminded him loudly, "Wait a minute."
Da Mao stopped, looked at Su Xi suspiciously, and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"
It's already the appointed time, if you don't leave quickly, then someone will find out, and you won't have a chance to leave here next time.
Su Xi didn't answer Da Mao's question, but asked rhetorically, "How many people did you agree to leave tonight?"
"Just a few of us." Da Mao blinked, not knowing what Su Xi meant by this.
Su Xi smiled, you'll know later.
Unable to meet with his companions, Da Mao felt anxious in his heart, and wanted to find a way to persuade Su Xi to go quickly.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps in front of him, followed by a scolding sound, "Dare to disobey the emperor's order, I think you are all impatient."
At the same time, a child's cry began to be heard.
Da Mao heard the movement outside, his face was a little pale, and he knew that his little friend had been caught.
Fortunately, he didn't go out, otherwise, he would have been arrested now. Once arrested by these people, not only will they not be able to survive, but they will also suffer inhuman torture, and their families will also suffer.
"Let's go, let's go back." Su Xi pulled the lost soul of Da Mao and walked home.
Just because you can't get out of the earth doesn't mean you can't go from the sky. And even these people on the ground can't stop her at all.
The reason why she is not leaving now is because she found something interesting. She certainly wouldn't leave easily until she figured it out.
On the way back, Su Xi took the opportunity to inquire about the news, "Have you found something interesting near the village?"
"It's strange lately that there is a fire for some reason, and even ......" Da Mao was immediately distracted and told what he had discovered.
Hearing Da Mao's words, Su Xi showed such an expression, and continued to ask, "Then do you know where the fire often starts?"
The sacred relics of Penglai Mountain are of fire nature
Spirit beads, but they fit everything in front of you. As long as you can find the place where the fire started, then you will have a chance to find the fire spirit orb.
Da Mao couldn't help but shake his head when he heard Su Xi's inquiry, "I don't know this either."
They usually only find that there are inexplicable fires, but they don't pay attention to the places that are prone to fires, and they can't think of the specific location for a while.
Although he didn't get what he wanted, Su Xi was not worried.
She's already in the village anyway, so there's no need to worry about the rest. As long as you continue to investigate, you will definitely be able to get the information you want.
There was a great commotion outside, and everyone in the village came out.
The old man was also standing at the door worriedly at this time, his heart full of worry.
It wasn't until she saw Su Xi and Da Mao appear that she took a long breath and asked worriedly, "What happened?"
I said I was leaving, why did I suddenly come back?
Da Mao grabbed the old man and told her about the situation.
Just as the old man was about to let Su Xi and Da Mao go back to rest, he instantly heard the sound of gongs and drums.
"What happened?" Su Xi looked in the direction where the voice came from suspiciously, and couldn't figure out what to do with such a big commotion at night.
However, when Da Mao and the old man heard the sound of the gong, their faces were very unsightly.
Apparently as natives, they know very well what it is to beat gongs and drums on the big night. With gloomy faces, although very reluctant, they followed the crowd and walked over.
Su Xi thought about it and walked over.
She wanted to see what was out there.
Following the crowd, everyone came to a small square. Around the square stood a number of soldiers standing in high order, with torches in their hands, shining everything as if it were daytime.
There were many villagers standing in the middle of the small square, all with ugly expressions on their faces. On the middle of the wooden pillars, there were several young men who were tied naked. Each of them has dense wounds on their bodies.
One was dressed in Taoist costumes, with a series of tributes in front of him, and his mouth was constantly chanting.
Not far from him, a man walked out, looked at the villagers in front of him and said, "The court has repeatedly ordered you not to escape, and now that you have disobeyed, you must pay the price."
After the man finished speaking, he nodded to the Taoist priest behind him and ordered, "Start immediately."
"Yes."
Hearing this, the Taoist priest grabbed the peachwood sword on the table. aimed at the chest of a small child *** and inserted it directly.
The original wooden peachwood sword revealed a sharp edge at the moment when he swung it out. Obviously, if you are stabbed by a peachwood sword, there is no chance of survival.
Seeing this, everyone had unbearable expressions on their faces. Some timid people have closed their eyes, afraid to look at the cruel scene in front of them.
