Chapter 10: Shaohua (2)

Ah Xiao turned around and walked to the tree in the yard, bent down to pick up the dead branches on the ground and piled them aside, and then sat down with the trunk of the tree.

She looked down at the injured chest again, the blood had coagulated, and there was no trace of pain in the injured area, she gently lifted her clothes to take a look, the wound had long since healed, and there was no trace of injury.

Night soon fell, every house was brightly lit, the faint smell of dinner wafted between the cracks in the wall, and the laughter and laughter from the neighbors woke up Axiao, she put her head on the trunk of the tree, looked up at the full moon hanging in the air, bright and clear, as if there was another world over there, no noise, no noise, all quiet, a harmony.

......

"Grandpa, will you disappear?"

"Why did Ah Xiao ask that?"

"I don't know, but I have a feeling that grandpa will leave one day. ”

"Silly boy, grandpa is not leaving, grandpa is just going to another world to continue a new life. ”

"Where is the other world?"

The old village chief pointed to the full moon hanging in the sky, "It's in the moon...... Ah Xiao, are you afraid that your grandfather will disappear?"

"Don't be afraid, maybe another world will be better than this one. ”

The reason why the moon is so bright is because of the darkness, if there is no darkness, it is useless, if it is in the daytime, maybe no one will care about its existence at all, the darkness in her eyes, is it because the world is too bad?

"In the Moon...... Is there really another world?"

Will the other world be better than this one?

No one in this world likes her, and the only grandfather in the village who likes her is gone, and now she is the only one left.

On this night, the moon seemed to be unusually bright, and the bright moonlight sprinkled in the courtyard, illuminating Ah Xiao's eyes through the stumps of the dead trees.

Late at night, not far from Xingyang Village, there were bursts of wolf howls from the Cangwolf Mountain, under the bright moon, the snow wolf standing on the top of the mountain, the shadow was particularly clear, and the grass house in the corner of Xingyang Village suddenly burst into flames, and soon spread around.

"It's on fire!"

A man who had gone out to get up at night saw the fire in the distance, and his pants were almost lifted before he could lift them, he shouted loudly, and the villagers heard the fire, and soon several houses were lit up with candles, and the man in the house ran out with a basin.

"Help!

As soon as dozens of adult men came out of their yards, they saw many figures hurrying from the direction of the fire, including women with children in their arms, old men trotting with crutches, and men striding meteors.

The man at the front shouted, "Run! The witch has killed!"

The men with the basins still had time to think, and hurriedly ran into their homes and pulled their daughters-in-law and children out in the direction of the village.

There is only one road leading to the entrance of the village, and every house is built according to the road, and the screaming and noise from the road soon woke up the villagers, and everyone opened the window to look out, and the fire in the distance was quickly approaching, and they ran out and fled without even caring about clothes.

Xingyang Village was in flames, and Linghua Village, not far from the village, also felt a heat, and a few curious villagers went out to check, only to see that the sky in the direction of Xingyang Village had been illuminated by the firelight, and the smell of smoke and blood drifted along the wind, as if it was a precursor to the catastrophe.

There was a thin figure standing in the middle of the road, the fire behind him blew up the inky green silk messily, Ah Xiao hung her head and shoulders, her arms hung weakly on both sides of her body, the whole person seemed to be a puppet without bones, walking forward step by step stiffly, every step she took, the fire behind her burned a step forward, like a huge cloak, surrounding everything behind her.

After walking a few steps, Ah Xiao raised her head, her face was as pale as a dead person, her eyes were black, and there was no trace of the whites of her eyes at all, the meridians on her neck and face were slowly raising and blackening, growing around like black vines, her slender little hands opened hard, and her ten fingers were bent as if she was going to strangle someone, she was just an eight-year-old child, and at this moment she was like a god of death from the ground.

"Run! The witch has killed!"

A woman in the crowd shouted, Ah Xiao raised her head and looked, her empty eyes stared at the crowd who fled in a hurry, her arms were raised forward, her palms rushed forward and opened, and two black hands suddenly appeared in her palms and flew towards the crowd, before anyone could react, the two black hands dragged the woman who shouted and the man next to her to Ah Xiao by the neck.

The two fell at Ah Xiao's feet one after another, and the woman looked at her with a frightened face, "Don't kill me!

Ah Xiao couldn't hear her call at all, her hands were slightly forced, and the woman lost her breath in the next second, and then turned into a skeleton without skin and flesh, scattered on the ground.

The man who was also choked by the neck was frightened, his eyes were about to fall out, he just opened his mouth to shout for help, the corners of Ah Xiao's mouth rose slightly, and he let out a weird laugh of 'giggling', and the man instantly turned into a dried corpse and scattered bones.

Seeing someone being killed, the fleeing villagers became more and more confused, some of the old people who walked slowly, most of them were pushed to the ground with a pair of hands and could not get up, the crowd stepped on them, and after a while, they lost their breath, Ah Xiao walked past their corpses step by step, and the next moment they were submerged by the sea of fire.

The villagers ran to the entrance of the village, and suddenly a cloud of black smoke flew behind them, turning into a human figure not far in front of everyone, Ah Xiao still hung her head and slumped her shoulders, standing motionless, everyone was frightened, and stopped in a hurry, they wanted to run back, but there was a raging fire burning behind them, if they went back, they would be burned to the point that there were no bones left.

"Wow!"

A Xiao's brows furrowed when a baby's cry suddenly came from the quiet crowd, and any sound at the moment could provoke her anger. Ah Xiao looked up at the crowd, her blackened eyes made people panic, she stretched out her right arm, and the little baby who had just cried suddenly came out of her mother's arms, flew quickly to Ah Xiao's hand, and was choked by the neck.

"No, my child!" cried the woman, trying to snatch the child, but was stopped by several men nearby.

"Please, don't kill my child! Axiao, don't kill my child! I beg you!"

Ah Xiao didn't hear her cry, her eyes wandered on the baby in her hand, she gently hooked the corners of her mouth, the little baby suddenly turned into a dried corpse, the bones were scattered on the ground, Ah Xiao threw the remaining cloth in her hand to the side, and slowly looked at the crowd.

"Oh, no, my child, my child...... You witch! You return my son! You monster!"

The woman had gone mad and cursed, but she did not know that her words would kill a village. A man covered her mouth and told her to shut up, and she was bitten back.

At this time, there was a cry in the crowd again, and everyone looked over, this person was Ah Fei, he had never seen such A Xiao, he used to go to bully her outside the village, and he was afraid that he would die too.

The woman standing next to her hurriedly covered Ah Fei's mouth, but it was too late, Ah Xiao slowly hooked the corners of her mouth, as if she was smiling from a demon from hell, she opened her arms, and black smoke like a tail came out behind her, and soon flew forward to surround everyone in it.

The sinister aura enveloped the crowd into a cloud of black smoke, and screams and cries continued to be heard from within, but after a few moments it fell silent, and the smell of blood followed. Ah Xiao stood in a daze, her neck seemed to have no bones, her head swayed back and forth, the breeze hit, and the smell of fire and blood was all around, which was very pungent and unpleasant.

Suddenly, a white light flew from behind Ah Xiao, instantly dispersing the black smoke ball, and there were no longer human-like bones and blood-stained clothes lying on the ground, more than thirty large and small.

Immediately afterwards, a white figure flew past Ah Xiao, and before she could see clearly, a woman in a white dress appeared next to the corpse pile. The firelight slowly approached, and the faint light shone on the side of her face, delicate and clean, a pair of clear eyes like a clear sky, eyes as soft as water, and willow eyebrows slightly wrinkled, as if she felt incredible because of everything in front of her.

Ah Xiao was just about to attack her, the woman turned around and waved her hand, and a cyan wide cloth tied Ah Xiao's whole person, she couldn't move, and fainted after a while.

The woman had a token pinned to her waist, and the silver surface was engraved with a peony pattern, and three words were engraved under the pattern: Ming Muli.

She walked and squatted beside Ah Xiao, stretched out two fingers and gently touched her eyebrows, her face suddenly changed, and she exclaimed: "Why is there such a strong evil qi in the body of such a young child!"

......

"What's your name?"

"Ah Xiao. ”

"Where's your family?"

"I don't have a family. ”

"Will you come with me?"

"Where?"

"Go to a place where there are no worldly distractions. ”

"Hmm. ”
