Volume 1: The Seven Stars of the Twilight of the World Chapter 6 The Tree Wants to Be Quiet
This time to bid farewell to Xiang Bei, he unexpectedly got a purple feather lark, and the two brothers were full of joy. Geng Er looked at the gorgeous colors of the little lark and couldn't put it down.
The little lark struggled after being frightened, and finally exhausted his strength and hid in Geng Er's bag to calm down.
At this time, Geng Er's heart was like an arrow, and he forgot to ask Xiang Bei about his unique skills, and he was in a hurry to rush back to the village with Xiang Bei as soon as the sky was bright.
When the village was faintly emerging among the trees, Xiang Bei felt something strange inexplicably, and he pulled Geng Er, who was in front of him and was hurrying with his head down.
"Second brother, something is wrong. ”
"What's wrong? man. ”
"Why is the village so quiet?"
"In broad daylight, everyone is probably working in the house or in the field. ”
"No...... right"
Xiang Bei still wanted to stop him, but Geng Er only wanted to bring the purple lark to Chunxiu quickly, and still strode straight towards the village.
Xiang Bei was uneasy, but there was no way, so he followed Geng Er and was on guard.
As soon as he entered the village, Xiang Bei's intuition was confirmed, not only was there no sound in the village, but there was also a thick bloody atmosphere in the air.
Geng Er is a hunter, and naturally he is no stranger to the smell of blood, and the bloody atmosphere in this village makes his heart flutter. Although he has his own family, the villagers also help each other on weekdays
is like a family, especially the Chunxiu girl he is most worried about. He didn't want anything to happen to the village.
The closest to the back mountain crossing is the old Zhou family. Far away from the toppled fence gate, Lao Zhou was lying face down in the courtyard, with a pool of dried dark red blood under him.
"Old Uncle Zhou!"
Geng Er shouted and rushed to the front, turned over Lao Zhou's body and hugged him in his arms, but he didn't know that Lao Zhou's limbs were already cold, and his abdomen was a foot-long opening, faintly revealing his green and white intestines.
Xiang Bei checked Lao Zhou's wound and saw that it was caused by someone breaking his abdomen with a knife, but he only used one knife, and sighed in his heart, what a fast knife.
Geng Er didn't have any more thoughts, and rushed into the house again, only to find that Lao Zhou's wife and the half-grown children in the family were all hacked to death on the bed, and they were all killed with a knife.
"Chunxiu, Chunxiu!" Geng Er, who was stunned with fright, suddenly remembered Chunxiu, picked up the steel fork he was carrying, and ran towards the village chief's house in the center of the village.
Xiang Bei followed behind Geng Er, trotting all the way, looking around, and found that the doors of each family were open, and the road was sprinkled with bloodstains from time to time.
"At least, these children died in the arms of their relatives...... "Xiang Bei, who is used to seeing death, inexplicably came up with such an indifferent thought.
The village elder Han fell down at the gate of his house, with several shoe prints on his body, and blood was still dripping from his mouth and nose, Geng Eryi grabbed the village chief, saw that he still had a little residual warmth, and shook the old man's body, "Village chief, village chief......"
Seeing this scene, Xiang Bei on the side hurriedly stopped Geng Er. He had seen that there were no obvious external injuries around the village chief, but it could be seen from the shoe prints on his body that the old man was injured by a heavy beating, coupled with blood from his mouth and nose, his chest was sunken, and eighty percent of his sternum had been broken.
Xiang Bei took the village chief's limp body from Geng Shuang, took out a pill and crushed it and stuffed it into the village chief's mouth, then gently supported his heart, helped him get down the pill, and took out an oily paper bag, as soon as the paper bag was opened, a mint fragrance diffused.
Xiang Bei put the paper bag close to the nostrils of the village chief, and gradually, the village chief's chest rose and fell, and he slowly opened his eyes. As soon as he saw that it was the two brothers, his eyes immediately widened, his face flushed, he snorted, and his lips moved desperately, but there was only a gurgling bubbling sound in his mouth.
Xiang Bei knew that this was because his trachea was already soaked with blood, and he didn't hesitate, he took out the dagger, and in Geng Er's shocked eyes, cut the throat of the village chief.
Hiss, a stream of air finally broke through the barrier of the plasma, and with a burst of blood mist spurting out, the village elder Han finally let out a hoarse voice, "Quick, save Chunxiu, Geng Er......" Before the words were finished, he died of exhaustion, and before he died, his fingers stiffly pointed in the direction of the wing.
"Spring show. Geng Er was about to rush into the wing room with a steel fork, but was grabbed by Xiang Bei. His eyes were blood-red, and he glared at Xiang Bei, but found that Xiang Bei had put his fingers on the edge of his mouth, signaling him not to make a sound.
Xiang Bei held down Geng Er, whose eyes were on fire, held his breath, and quietly touched the door of the wing room, and just wanted to reach out and push the door, a steel knife suddenly stabbed out of the crack in the door.
Xiang Bei immediately turned sideways, watching the blade wrapped in a chill and slashing against the tip of his nose. Then he raised his foot and kicked the door panel hard, and with a click, the whole door panel shattered, and the sneak attacker behind the door was knocked down by the huge force and smashed to the ground along with a pile of wood chips.
Without waiting for this person to get up, Xiang Bei's figure pressed up, the cold light flashed in his palm, and when there was a loud bang, the steel knife with a wrist fell to the ground.
There was another person hidden behind the door, who stabbed Xiang Bei's diagonal ribs with the blade in his hand. Who knew that Xiang Bei had eyes on his back, and his arm that didn't turn back was thrown back, and a dagger actually pierced into the hard head. The entire blade of the dagger was submerged, leaving only the handle still outside, and the attacker's stiff body fell straight to the ground.
Geng's second-hand steel fork also broke in. Seeing Chunxiu on the bed at a glance, he screamed and rushed over, Xiang Bei didn't have time to stop it, so he had to pick up the steel knife that was still being grabbed by a broken hand on the ground and threw it at the head of the bed.
There was also a third ambush in the house.
Before Xiang Bei broke the house, he had already heard four heartbeats, and when he knocked down the two behind the door, he didn't expect Geng Er to save people and break in. Geng Er is a good hunter of animals, but he has not experienced the sinister nature of people's hearts. Fortunately, Xiang Bei had already guarded against the other two heartbeats, one from Chunxiu on the bed, and the other hidden behind the curtain next to the bed.
The steel knife pierced Chunxiu's curtain directly, piercing through the fourth beating heart hidden inside. Another corpse fell, the blade in his hand slashed in front of Geng Er according to inertia, the tip of the knife licked Geng Er's face, and then, a trail of blood flowed down Geng Er's resolute face.
He didn't care about this, squeezed out the blood that flowed into his eyes, and picked up Chunxiu, who was wooden on the bed.
Poor Xiu'er girl, the only close-fitting belly pocket on her body has been torn into rags, her lower body is naked, there is still a trace of blood between her two strands, and there are bruises on her snow-white neck and arms.
Geng Er took off the gown on his body to cover Xiu'er's naked body, picked up her stiff and cold body, and called urgently, "Chunxiu, don't be afraid, it's me, Geng Er." Chunxiu ......"
Miss Xiu'er's stiff body gradually softened in Geng Er's arms, and her empty eyes moved back to the house from the roof, "Geng Er?" Before she could speak, Xiu'er fainted in Geng Er's arms.
The person who was ambushed in the house was solved by Xiang Bei in an instant, and the only one who could still breathe was also pressed under him and couldn't move, Xiang Bei saw Chunxiu being insulted by this, and stuck the throat of the wicked person under him with one hand, and his fingers were about to exert force.
"Young Lord, spare your life!"
The person who came suddenly opened his mouth to beg for mercy.
Xiang Bei was horrified in his heart, and the ominous premonition when he saw the villagers being slaughtered was finally fulfilled, this gang was not an ordinary bandit, but a member of the Easy Alliance.
Xiang Bei got up and wanted to interrogate this person, but he didn't know that a steel fork on the bed stabbed straight at him, and he couldn't dodge, so he had to grab the shoulder of the wicked man and turn over and hide behind him.
"Second brother, you ......"
"Phew! I'll treat you like a brother in vain!"
"Second brother, don't get me wrong. ”
The red-eyed Geng Er didn't give Xiang Bei a chance to explain, stepped on the corpse and pulled out the steel fork, and then stabbed Xiang Bei again.
The house was small, the steel fork couldn't be used, and Xiang Bei had a hard time dodging, so he had to jump out of the house and shouted helplessly, "Second brother, no matter what, it's important to save Sister Xiu'er first!"
Geng Er came back to his senses and turned around to wrap Chunxiu in clothes.
"Second brother, these people must have other plans to stay here, we have to leave the village with Sister Xiu'er quickly. ”
Although Geng Er suspected that this group of people was related to Xiang Bei, he saw that Sandao Village was slaughtered, and dozens of villagers were wiped out, his brain was blank, and he inexplicably obeyed Xiang Beiyan. Picking up Chunxiu, who was still unconscious, he fled from the village with Xiang Bei, and the figures of the three of them quickly disappeared in the dense forest of the mountain.
The trees want to be quiet, and the wind does not stop.
After settling down Chunxiu, Xiang Bei wanted to go back to the village to investigate the situation, and seeing that Geng Er still had to follow, Xiang Bei had to be appeased.
"Second brother, you have to believe me, I didn't bring these people. I would go to the village to see if there were any people alive. I will definitely get justice for the people in the village. Sister Xiu'er needs someone to protect her here. If I haven't come back tomorrow morning, you will flee to Tiger Ridge with Sister Xiu'er. ”
Geng Er hadn't recovered from the tragedy in the village, looked at Chunxiu, who was still unconscious, and gritted his teeth, "Xiang Bei, I'm waiting for you to come back and give me an explanation." The people of our village can't die like this. ”
Xiang Bei nodded. He took all the dry food from his body and left it for Geng Er, and turned around and returned to Sandao Village.
I have seen too many sinister people for a long time, and Xiang Bei also thinks that he can see through the warmth and coldness of people, but he never expected that a moment of carelessness would cause such a monstrous disaster to the villagers of Sandao Village.
Sandao Village avoided the troubled times, sought peace in the mountains, but ended up like this, whether to blame the cunning and deep calculation of the three-armed Yama, or to blame his revenge, or to kill the overlord of the Loose Alliance.
Thinking of Badu, another thought arose: Will it be the ghost claw greedy wolf who is working for Badu this time? Does he not understand his intention to cut off his hand, and still insist on acting for the tiger? Or do he still hate his ruthlessness and want to vent his anger by slaughtering the village?
This is a troubled time, there is no need for a reason to kill people in troubled times, in troubled times, desire is the principle of all actions.
While thinking wildly, he explored the corners of the village, and there were no other survivors in Sandao Village except Geng Er and Chunxiu. A few days ago, some of these people were still laughing at Lao Liutou's poor chess skills. Some people are still following Xiang Bei's literacy and hyphenation. Others only know how to chase and play with puppies.
Now, they're all cold corpses.
