Volume 1: Born to Be a Hero Chapter 20: A Little Village on the Edge
Perhaps as time passed, the aura of the Mirage Great Array was gradually depleted, and for several days, no new changes and illusions appeared in the snow field.
During this time, He Yi found that his physique had become very weird.
When he was unconscious, his body would be gnawed by passing beasts, so that he would become the rotten body he is now, but since he woke up, for some reason, he encountered some fierce beasts and vicious beasts along the way, and he didn't even look at He Yi, as if He Yi didn't exist at all.
There was no need to try to avoid the evil beasts in the snowfield, which greatly advanced He Yi's schedule to get out of the snowfield.
"It's just this remnant, and I don't know how long it will take to get back to its original state. Looking at the minced meat on his body, He Yi sighed.
There was a faint itch all over his body, which showed that his body was gradually recovering to life, but at an extremely slow pace, and it would take at least a few years to fully recover.
"I Ching cleanses the marrow and recreates the body. Perhaps the residual medicinal effect of the unicorn jade fruit continues to play a role. He Yi thought to himself.
This is the second time that Qilin Yuguo has saved him.
With the vague scene in his memory, He Yi filled his hunger with ice, snow and grass all the way, and after two months, people could be seen in front of him.
It is a small village on the edge, and in the cold winter season, there is no grain, so there is no one to visit, and it looks very desolate.
It was getting late, and He Yi found an abandoned thatched hut outside the village to temporarily use as shelter.
Thinking back to everything that happened before, it was so real and dreamy.
It's like a world away.
What's next?
Return to Kyoto and seek revenge on Xu Fangshi?
If it were the previous He Yi, maybe he would really do it.
And now...... He had no choice but to do so.
Ten years have passed, if the people around Xu Fangshi are all powerful cultivators, how should he fight the enemy?
Alone, with a rotten life, what qualifications do you have to fight against it?
"Well, for the sake of today, we still have to choose a place to live first, and then plan for the next development. He Yi gradually closed his eyes, and quickly thought about his next plan in his mind.
............
Next.
When the sky was bright, He Yi walked into the village and knocked on the door of a villager's house.
"Excuse me, is the owner of the house at home?" He Yi stayed awake all night, thinking hard, but he didn't think of any way to solve the problem at hand.
It's tough.
The main thing is that this matter is not urgent, after all, I have been separated from the world for ten years, and the first problem at present is to first figure out the changes and changes in the entire secular world in these ten years, and then we can adapt to the changes.
Asking questions from others is naturally the most convenient and direct way.
Maybe it's a winter morning, the sun hasn't fully risen, and the owner of this house is still asleep and hasn't woken up, He Yi knocked several times, but no one answered, and changed a few more households, the same is true.
This series of closed-door soups made He Yi a little puzzled.
The streets and alleys are very cold, and the doors of the residents and shops are closed, and there is no sign of people.
Standing alone on the side of the street, he noticed that there was a thick pile of snow in the middle of the road, and there were few footprints and car marks.
"Is this a deserted village with no people?" He Yi looked left and right, his expression quite suspicious.
Just as he was in doubt, there was a sudden sound of Suo Suo next to the house behind him.
He Yi took a few steps back, looked sideways into the shadows between the two wooden houses, and saw a ragged and thin woman kneeling on the ground with her back to He Yi.
She shuddered, her arms raised, as if desperately trying to bite something with her mouth.
He Yi took a few steps forward gently, and when he saw the woman's appearance clearly, his heart suddenly cooled.
The woman in the shadows, not to mention the miserable appearance of a covered head and thin as a bony person, what frightened He Yi the most was the "food" stuffed in her bulging mouth and chewing hard.
It was a mass of snow and dirt, tangled together, like rotten grass roots.
He Yi was stunned.
The woman's expression was extremely painful and distorted, as if she was being tortured by a demon, and she pinched her mouth and throat with a strange chewing sound, mixed with pain and faint moans.
After a few moments, the woman raised her chin high, bared her teeth, and ran her hands up and down her throat, swallowing the mess hard.
She's ...... Eating these things?
Looking at the woman's appearance, He Yi frowned deeply, and there was a pain in his heart for no reason.
"This eldest sister, you... Why do you eat these things... What's going on in the village?" He Yi couldn't help but ask out loud.
The woman's body stiffened, and then she turned her head sharply, and when she saw He Yi's unfamiliar outfit, a look of extreme horror suddenly rose on her face.
"Don't come!
She said in a trembling voice, bent her body into a shrimp shape, stepped back, grabbed a bamboo stick casually, and guarded herself vigilantly.
“......”
Seeing this, He Yi couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.
Looking at the other party's expressions and movements, it is obvious that they have been extremely frightened and frightened.
Could it be that a beast from the snow has attacked this village?
But there is no trace of destruction in the buildings in this village!
After thinking about it, He Yi hurriedly took out two green wild fruits from his arms and wanted to hand them to the woman. Unexpectedly, the woman's even more frightened hind legs took a few steps, and a frightened scream came out of her throat, throwing the surrounding dirt and snow at He Yi like crazy, and then stumbling out.
The incident happened suddenly, He Yi was covered in the mud and snow, and he looked a little embarrassed, looking at the direction where the woman fled in a daze, and his face gradually became solemn.
I finally got out of the prison, walked out of the snowfield, and saw the light of day again, but the first scene I saw after entering the world would be like this!
Spooky and scary!
What the hell happened here?
He Yi, who was confused, continued to wander around the village, and saw no one alive except for the down-and-out woman he saw earlier.
"It seems that there should be a famine here, otherwise how can this muddy grass root be used as food?" He Yi was full of doubts.
When he came to the farmland outside the village, he saw a field of vigorous malt, and according to this growth momentum, there should be a very good harvest in the coming year, so where did this famine come from?
Suddenly, He Yi's eyes lit up.
He saw the corpse of a woman hanging from a tree not far ahead.
His clothes were stripped naked, his body was covered with bloody whip marks, and he should have been severely beaten before his death.
Underneath the corpse, a stubby stood with the following words:
Those who insult the immortal master die, kill one and make an example, in order to set an example!
“......”
A small village that is quiet and uninhabited, comparable to the barrenness and coldness of the snowfield.
Strange behavior, miserable corpses.
This scene made He Yi feel that there was a huge dark cloud, which was covering the entire secular world into a haze.
"There must be people in this village, but they are deliberately hiding from themselves, and they have to find out what is going on in this place like a way to find out what is going on in this place. ”
............
Night.
He Yi took the sword and broke into the Northern Wilderness Snow Field again, but this time, he only made a move on the periphery of the Snow Field.
He wanted to capture some prey and use it to knock on the doors of the village.
The outer periphery of the snowfield is completely different from the depths, and there are some beasts infested, but they are not as large as the depths of the snowfield, and they are not too aggressive, so they are more suitable for group hunting.
In less than half an hour, He Yi hunted a stag.
When he returned to the village, in front of the open space in the center of the village, he divided the deer carcass into several sections and smoked them on the fire, and before long, there was a strong smell of meat, which was blown by the wind and scattered in all directions.
In the darkness, there were faint sounds of countless swallowing saliva.
"Let's all come out and eat something. Do you know that the most important thing for people is to live first. To be alive is to have hope. He Yi said quietly.
Although the sound was not loud, it was exceptionally loud under the incomparably silent night sky.
When the venison was getting ripe, He Yi sat down on the spot, cut off a small piece of venison with a dagger, and waited quietly while eating it.
