Chapter 2: Woe
"Little guy, I didn't expect you to be such a waste!"
"Who! who's talking?"
"You don't deserve to know the old man's name, the Tang family's face has made you lose everything. ”
"Who the hell are you? What are you talking nonsense?"
"Kill a kitten, you have to be protected by others from beginning to end, and you have the face to inquire about the old man's name, and the idiot retreats!hahahahahaha.....hahahahaha
"Wait!
Tang Qingshan opened his eyes suddenly, grabbed forward, and saw the familiar face of his mother.
"Shan'er, are you having a nightmare?"
Mother asked with concern.
Tang Qingshan looked at his mother in a daze.
"Mother, are you okay, where did you go last night? Is the beast dead? Where are everyone? Who are those two men in black?"
After experiencing the horror of last night, Tang Qingshan couldn't help but feel a little sad when he thought of the man in black who was holding a double knife. Mother touched Tang Qingshan's head and said.
"Not long after you left last night, Aunt Feng's family next door also discovered that there was danger in the village. When we left, I was worried that our mother and son came to check it out. My mother had the intention to stay and wait for you, but your Aunt Feng said that if I stayed, it would only become a burden for you, so my mother followed your Aunt Feng's family to take refuge. ”
When Tang Qingshan heard this, he secretly remembered the kindness of Aunt Feng's family. Asked again.
"What's going on in the village now? What about the fifth uncle? What about the village chief and grandfather? How are everyone!"
Mother was about to speak, but someone pushed the door and walked in.
"Yo, stinky boy, you only slept for half an hour before you woke up?
The blacksmith sat on the bench with a big grin, and although his words were light, the blood-stained gauze told Tang Qingshan how tragic the battle was last night.
"Fifth Uncle, your injury..."
Tang Qingshan's eyes were slightly red.
"Okay, when did you kid become a girl, don't come to this with your fifth uncle. Last night, Jin Yuanhu attacked Tangjiaao at night, and there were 113 people in the whole village, and less than half of them survived in the end. This beast is also brave and brave, and he can survive from under its hands, and the fifth uncle will not lose. ”
After speaking, the blacksmith himself sighed.
"What? everyone in the village... Everyone...."
Tang Qingshan couldn't hold back crying anymore.
The blacksmith touched Tang Qingshan's head and comforted.
"Let's go, Uncle Fifth will take you outside for a walk. ”
He turned around and looked at Tang Qingshan's mother.
"Sister-in-law, Tang Jiaao has not been peaceful recently, you try to move out as little as possible. If you feel that something is wrong, let Aoyama come to me. ”
Seeing that his mother nodded and agreed, he took Tang Qingshan out of the door.
If Tang Qingshan was just sad and sad before he went out, then at this time, the seeds of hatred were planted in Tang Qingshan's young heart. The tiger's sharp scratches on the broken wall skin, and dried blood stains can be seen everywhere. Almost every household was crying.
Tang Qingshan's eyes were still red, and his teeth were clenched. Silently following behind the blacksmith, the two of them reached the door of the village chief's house in a short time. In addition to the old village chief in the courtyard, the one-eyed man from last night was lying on the rattan chair. The big man was wrapped all over his body, and from time to time, blood was left on his body, dripping down the rattan chair and falling to the ground.
The village chief saw Tang Qingshan and the two come in, and motioned for the two to sit down with his eyes.
"Although this person is from the same place as the person who harmed my Tangjiaao villagers. But it is not because of him that evil is caused, so do not be angry with him. Moreover, in last night's battle, he first resisted the fatal blow of Jin Yuanhu for your fifth uncle, resulting in a large area of damage to his abdomen. Later, he was burned by Jin Yuanhu's breath, and now his days are running out. ”
Tang Qingshan listened to the old village chief's words quietly, and did not say anything to ask. Looking at the injured man in front of him, he remembered everything that happened last night.
For the first time, Tang Qingshan felt that human life was so fragile. The beloved elders will never wake up, and the former friends will no longer be able to play and play together. It turns out that the strong physique that has been trained by hard work and the fifth uncle is nothing at all! In fact, no one can protect the weak self.
It began to drizzle. In the back mountain of Tangjiaao, there are tombstones in the forest. Among them, there was also the poor man with one eye. Tang Qingshan stood in front of the tombstone, letting the rain fall on his shoulders and float on his face. From the one-eyed strong man, Tang Qingshan learned that the one-eyed man's name was Ba Dong. It is one hundred and twenty miles northwest of Laole Mountain, and it is the caretaker of the city lord of Tiefu City. The only son of the city lord of Tiefu City was plotted by the enemy, and the demon bite scorpion poison in his body was sick in bed for many years. Although the city lord is not a cruel person, he used bloody means to save his son. Give each doctor who treats the little boy a time limit of 15 days, and if the little boy improves slightly, he can get a hundred taels of gold.
There must be brave men under the so-called heavy reward, and all kinds of famous doctors in the city have gone to consult one after another. However, the little boy's illness is unheard of and extremely tricky. Even though the famous doctors tried every possible means, they still couldn't do it.
The fifteen-day deadline had passed, and none of the doctors had ever stepped out of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. Over time, no one dared to come to the door for consultation. The lord of the city then ordered the arrest of the city's doctors and forced him to treat his son's illness. If the young man does not improve within the time limit, he will be executed.
For a while, the people in Tiefu City were panicked, and the major medical centers were closed one after another. But everyone who knew some medical pathologies fled outside the city one after another, and turned to other places. Tiefu City was panicked because of the city lord's rescue.
About a month ago, Iron Floating City welcomed a wandering magician. Proficient in the number of strange doors and the preparation of potions, the lord promised that if he could cure his child, he would receive a thousand taels of gold and fulfill the warlock's three wishes. The warlock gladly agreed, and lived in the city lord's mansion, and within three days, the warlock really cured the city lord's only son of many years of stubborn illness. It's just that the child's expression is dull and different from ordinary people. Seeing that the child's recovery was hopeful, the city lord asked the wandering warlock the reason. The warlock told the city lord that the little boy had been suffering from illness all the year round, and that his soul must be unstable and that man and god were separated. It is necessary to use the Soul Grass as a medicinal guide, accompanied by the Warlock's unique potion and refining, in order to completely cure the little boy.
Fang Shi told the city lord that the Soul Grass was not precious. However, the places where it grows are rarely inhabited, and it is not easy to find. The city lord was in a hurry and begged the warlock to help him find the Soul Grass. The warlock tells the lord that there is no way, but that the warlock needs to use the secret forbidden spell at the cost of his lifespan. Only then can the whereabouts of the soul grass be found, the city lord was overjoyed and promised the warlock. As long as he finds the Qin Soul Grass and cures his only son, he is willing to share the Iron Floating City with the Fangshi...
That night, the lord of the city urgently summoned the garrison. Except for the personnel on duty for daily arming, all set off. The troops drove out of Laole Mountain to look for the soul grass. At the same time, he assigned the five masters of the family to go with the army, and imprisoned the families of the five masters. Don't swear to give up.
All the troops rode lightly and quickly, and finally arrived at a mountain forest designated by the city lord on the fifteenth. There was an underground cave hidden in the dense forest, and everyone followed the instructions left by the city lord to enter the cave and successfully retrieve the Soul Grass.
Just when everyone thought that the mission was successfully completed and they could go home and reunite with their families, a change broke out. Four Jin Yuanhu guarded the entrance of the cave and intercepted everyone's way. Meet on a narrow road, become a king and lose a villain. The troops soon fought with the four alien beasts.
Helplessly, Jin Yuanhu is not an ordinary beast. The first pupil turned from gold to blue, and it was obvious that it had been a hundred years of cultivation and had opened its spiritual wisdom. Dealing with everyone is also only wounded and not killed. The city lord's army soon lost its ability to fight.
The four Jin Yuan Tigers were already extremely fierce, and they took advantage of the time and place, and fought a desperate battle with the defending troops in the cave. After a day, when there was no way to retreat, the tired garrison of the city used one fresh life after another to consume the three Jin Yuan Tigers. Seeing that the whole army was about to be wiped out, the chief guard of the city guard desperately blocked the fourth one, buying time for the five masters to escape.
When the five escaped from the cave, it was already dark, and the dense woods obscured the sky. The situation was critical and urgent! In a panic, the five could only flee in one direction.
At daylight, the five fled to a lake. The five of them were exhausted by the long battle, and they all came to the lake to recuperate and rest. During this period, the leading brother and the one-eyed strong man discerned the direction and were horrified to find that they had deviated seriously from the established route.
Due to the dark sky, the situation is urgent. At that time, I rushed forward without confirming the direction. It was now more than twice the length of the direction they had entered the deep forest. The five of them were about to discuss the route back, when the figure of Jin Yunhu suddenly appeared in the woods. Under the sneak attack, the leader was unfortunately injured in order to protect everyone. After that, several people fled to death and fled to Tangjiaao in the middle of the night. The one-eyed man originally wanted to lead Jin Yuanhu to the swamp and compete with Jin Yuanhu there. However, Yu Yu, who was carrying the soul grass, was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he led Jin Yuanhu to Tangjiaao for his own life, and there were not many prime people in the village, and he entered the village in the middle of the night. Jin Yuanhu himself is good at raiding, and many people are asleep and never wake up. This almost brought the disaster of extermination to Tang Jiaao.
Tang Qingshan silently recalled. The words of the one-eyed man when he was dying, and the guilt of bringing misfortune to the village. The rain slapped on Tang Qingshan's cheeks, and his eyes were red and swollen as if he had cried. Tang Qingshan didn't know how to express his emotions now, anger, pain, sadness, regret...
The negative emotions were intertwined, making Tang Qingshan's chest feel as uncomfortable as if he was pressing a big stone.
"Ah!!!!!h
With a long roar, as if he was about to drain all the qi in his lungs, Tang Qingshan screamed desperately. With the sound of drizzle, it echoed everywhere in Laole Mountain.
"Bang"
The blacksmith slashed at Tang Qingshan's neck with a hand knife. The shouting stopped suddenly, and Tang Qingshan fell limply into the blacksmith's arms. Although he fainted, this is not the pain that a twelve-year-old child should endure. Looking at Tang Qingshan's slightly frowning brow even though he was unconscious, the blacksmith's heart felt distressed for no reason.
"Hey!"
The blacksmith carried Tang Qingshan, turned around and glanced at the stone tablet of the one-eyed man, and strode towards the village below the mountain.
