Chapter 4: Escape
"Serve other people's bowls, serve other people's tubes, this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back." The old man's tone was quiet, as if he remembered something from the past.
"Daddy, will this time be more dangerous than the sect war?" The young woman followed her into the house, put two planks on the threshold, and pushed out the old man who had not seen the light of day.
The old man's right hand and right leg were mutilated, and his face was full of scars, which was hideous and terrifying, but the little guy pulled his empty sleeve with a look of admiration.
"I'm afraid it won't be easier than the sect war, Ah Xiu, I'm sorry for you."
The woman was stunned for a moment, speechless.
The sect wants to send a strong man, and her husband happens to be the most powerful hunter in the village, and as soon as the order comes, he has to leave.
When the old man said this, she reacted, and suddenly she didn't know how to speak.
"Grandpa, Daddy, they're sure they'll be able to get rid of those demons and monsters, right?"
The old man twisted his body and stroked his head with his left hand, just sighing.
"I heard that there is war everywhere in the whole world, Daddy, if it's the baby's father's turn, I, I want to go too."
"What can you do when you go to a woman's house?"
The old man did not agree, it was a good thing that his son and daughter-in-law were affectionate, but this kind of calamity, mortals were not sure at all.
The afternoon sun was a little cold, the atmosphere was a little dull, and the appearance of the people of the sect made the village even quieter.
A group of hunters returned with a full load, and came along the riverside path, and when they looked at the poultry that had returned home on their own, they did not look at it anymore, and became accustomed to it.
"Tomorrow we will go to find two seven leaves, and the task of our village will be completed, big brother, we are really lucky."
A young man tugged at his prey from the saddle and glanced at the village with a happy face.
"It's not good luck, it's you, make a fire tonight, let everyone eat something good, and after tomorrow, the harvest will be our own."
Everyone agreed, and the leading man passed by the water's edge, only to see Lin Feng lying in the water.
This pond is made of stones, half a human depth, and is used by poultry to swim in the water, and it is not right to drown.
As soon as he gestured, the two of them dismounted, turned Lin Feng over, and went to the shore to investigate.
The pale face looks like a dead man who has been soaked in water for too long, and the hair is dark red, but there is nothing wrong with it.
"This man is so tall, how can he be dressed so in tatters?"
The young man was a little puzzled, and the man who took the lead opened Lin Feng's eyes, but he didn't see anything abnormal.
"This?"
After soaking in the water for so long, you still have to breathe?
Several people were startled, but they saw the torches in front of them, and it turned out that the people from the village were waiting for the people from the village to come back from hunting as usual.
"What are you doing by the river if you haven't come back yet?"
At this time, the twilight had not yet fully set up, and the women could only roughly tell the men by the river.
"This person is weird, leave two people to guard it, and send all the things back first."
The men left, and the two dragged Lin Feng farther away from the shore.
"Second Brother Li, you go back first, I'll watch."
"This?"
"Go ahead, I won't see you for a day, the dolls should be in a hurry, I can see it."
"Okay, I'll go home and take a look, and I'll be right back." The man is not too pretentious, this is not far from the village, and he will be able to come back soon after a few steps.
After everyone left, the young man slapped Lin Feng a few times, and for the sake of caution, after he searched his body, he kept a few steps away.
Strange, not a cultivator, how did he survive? There is no standing water in his mouth and nose, and his stomach is normal, could it be that he fell into the water after falling into a coma?
But if he had just fallen into the water, how could his face be so ugly?
The man was still suspicious, and someone was already calling from above.
"Brother Niu?"
"Ah Xiu!"
Receiving a response, Ah Xiu hurriedly approached with a torch.
"They said you were dealing with pheasants by the river, and it was getting dark, so you couldn't get it at home?"
The man was stunned when he heard this, took a pheasant from the saddle, flipped the dagger in his hand, and hurriedly squatted by the river, and dealt with it decently.
"Don't you like to see blood, I'm afraid it will scare you, so I'll be fine right away."
"Oh, are you really a human being or a little girl? I'm not afraid! The woman approached with disgust, and the man quickly got up to meet her, blocking her gaze with his body.
"This Ming Feng plus the old green leaf lotus, it is very nourishing for women, Ah Xiu, you take it back first, I will go to the ditch to pick two plants, and I will be back soon."
The woman's heart was full of the man, and when she heard the words, she took it with joy.
"It's getting dark, I'll go and eat it again tomorrow, I'm not in a hurry to eat now."
"No, no, no, that's not possible, you have to deal with it as soon as possible after bloodletting, otherwise it won't work, and I'll be back right away from the two-step thing."
Ah Xiu was finally persuaded to go back with his things, and Ah Niu was about to turn around, only to feel a cool breath coming into his neck, like falling into an ice cellar.
A dark red air flow tentacles emanated from between Si Lin Feng's mouth and nose, nailed to Ah Niu's spine, and circles of dark red blood qi were pumped into Lin Feng's body, and Ah Niu's body was covered with a thin layer of frost.
His eyes rolled, his fear was indescribable, his neck was like being clamped by iron tongs, and Ah Niu couldn't move.
Ah Xiu had already walked to the entrance of the village happily, and suddenly his footsteps stopped.
"Ah, Brother Niu, you lied to me!"
She turned around, raised the torch, and vaguely saw Ah Niu still standing in place.
"Brother Niu?"
The man didn't answer, and Ah Xiu walked over quickly. Seeing the woman I love go and return, I was anxious, but I couldn't speak.
"Ah Niu!"
Another call was not answered, and the woman rushed wildly, and the closer she got closer, the clearer it became that Ah Niu was indeed standing in place.
"What are you doing, why did you trick me into leaving?"
The heart she had just put down suddenly tightened, and the Ah Niu beard in front of her was all white, covered with a layer of frost, only the breath that came out, and there was no breath in.
"Ahh
The shock was sudden, Ah Xiu didn't know what was wrong with Ah Niu, threw the things in his hand and hugged him.
"Ah Niu ......"
Before she could finish speaking, the blood-colored tentacles behind Ah Niu split out, wrapped around the back of her neck, and nailed it fiercely.
"Uh......"
The unfinished words were stuck in her throat, and she saw a tall evil man staggering behind Ah Niu.
"Help!"
She obviously opened her mouth to call for help, but she couldn't make any sound, and the confused man approached them, stretched out his hand in a daze, touching something in the air, sucking blood and qi tentacles, Ah Xiu couldn't see it at all.
Ah Niu fell to the ground, Ah Xiu also fell, Lin Feng was stunned and watched his hands gradually regaining their bloody color, like a soul returning to his body, and suddenly came to his senses.
With a wave of his hand, he took away the invisible blood mist tentacles, and made a big mistake, he looked at the loving couple on the ground, and the scene of the two just meeting played back in his mind.
When Ah Xiu opened his mouth, he liked it like Ah Niu; When Ah Niu spoke, he was as relieved as Ah Xiu.
This is a pair of men and women who love each other, but he unintentionally killed them.
The first time he hurt an innocent person, boundless fear and guilt rose in his heart, and the psychic sword fetus in his body was almost about to collapse under the attack of his own guilt and evil desires.
Not far away, the villagers who heard the exclamation had already rushed with torches and weapons, Lin Feng's eyesight was far beyond ordinary people, and the villagers seemed to be right in front of them, and they were about to apologize, when their eyes were dark, and they fell to the ground.
In the village, a group of villagers looked at the unconscious three people, and the atmosphere was heavy.
The men also listened to the women's words, and realized that the strange man in front of them had appeared during the day, and they had indeed found a bite of the cooking cake by the water, an untouched kettle.
The situation was a little weird, Lin Feng's face returned to blood, but Ah Xiu and Ah Niu were frighteningly white, cold, as if they had been dead for a long time, but they both had a faint heartbeat.
The little boy lay beside his father and mother without saying a word, listening to the arrangements of the adults, and when they heard the order from the sect, the men paused and looked at a few silent old people.
There are more than a dozen households in the entire Huangshan Village, except for the widows and loneliness, and there are not many complete portals.
"Escaping will only bring disaster, get ready, let's go to Maple Leaf City!"
Ah Niu's father spoke slowly, and several men in the audience were silent.
The troubled times have come, and they have not thought of disobeying orders and escaping.
Urgent things are one after another, and they know very well that if they don't arrive on time, what awaits them in Huangshan Village will definitely be severely punished.
"Patriarch, Maple Leaf City is only a hundred miles away from Daqing Mountain, if it has already hit Maple Leaf City, we, we ......"
Li Er swallowed, but the meaning could no longer be understood.
Maple Leaf City is so close that mortals need to be dispatched to defend the city, then the Qinghe Sect will definitely not last long, if you don't run at this time, you won't have a chance in the future.
Li Er's parents passed away, his wife is not alive, and he only has a pair of children.
"Five places, it's embarrassing for anyone to go and who doesn't, so you all go, a few of us can live for a few years if we don't die, and when the children are older, we will be almost there."
Ah Niu's father said slowly, and someone muttered.
"Now that Brother Niu and Ah Xiu have an accident, they don't have to go anyway, patriarch, it's biased for you to say that."
At this moment, people's minds change, but a few old people didn't expect someone to say such words.
"Originally, who knows if Ah Xiu went to the river to say something to Ah Niu, they would suddenly fall into a coma together, anyway, they are all dead, I would rather our family die together than my man die outside, lonely ghosts, there is no one who collects the body."
The woman was glared at angrily by several clan elders, but instead broke the jar and said what was in her heart.
The women present all clung to their men, in the wilderness, without men, how can a woman's family stand up to the door? Even if you drag your children, a woman can't live without a man.
"Old patriarch, don't blame me for speaking badly, even if Ah Niu wakes up in the future, he can be used as our man, but he is not our man after all, he is protected by the sect on weekdays, and even if he is bullied, it's all at this time, don't you run and wait for death?"
"You love to go or not, anyway, I'm ready, even if I am found, then I will talk about it then."
After the woman finished speaking, she pulled her man and left, everyone was already moving, especially Li Er, they are a family of three, and their children have no one to take care of, so they can't rest assured no matter what.
"Wang Cuihua is right, I pay tribute every year, and I don't see the sect pity me for half a point, old patriarch, please forgive Li Er for being rude."
He was gone, too, and several of the women who had no man in the house looked at each other, but could not speak.
