Chapter 49: The hot spring dries up
The hot spring is called Yakuo Spring because the water can cure the cold and heat diseases of the villagers of Shirakuha. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Nowadays, the hot spring has been excavated by the Taoist priests of Kongming Mountain, and even the spring no longer flows out.
The hot spring is ruined, but what about the wild peach trees by the spring?
It was a full-fledged peach tree.
The old village chief of Baixia Village once had an affair with her here.
The wild peach tree seems to have been destroyed as well.
On the hillside behind the hot spring, there were red blood stains running down it.
It's too far away to see clearly.
Niu Hao jumped into the deep pit left by the dry hot spring and climbed to the opposite bank. Follow the trail of blood and climb up the hillside.
On the steep slope of the mountain, there is a huge rock, where the low cliff stands.
Red blood trickled down the hillside from beneath the cliff-like rocks.
Niu Hao used his hands and feet to climb the boulder.
Behind the boulder, an even larger pit was dug out.
The area of the pit is not smaller than that of a dry hot spring, but it is much deeper.
That's where the wild peach trees grow.
Wild peach trees, uprooted by people. A deep pit was left behind, and there were still sections of tree roots at the bottom of the pit.
The arm-thick roots were cut off, revealing fresh white stubble.
The trunk of the wild peach tree, because it could not be taken away, or because it was useless, was cut off and discarded beside the pit.
The pith in the middle of the trunk is red. The juice that flowed out was like blood, soaking the ground.
Niu Hao sat on the ground, his outstretched arm trembling uncontrollably, and stretched out to the trunk of the wild peach tree.
Sister-in-law Fu dragged the pious girl to climb the boulder, and when she saw Niu Hao's outstretched hand, she grabbed it in her hand. Said to Niu Hao:
"Be careful. The anger in the valley comes from her. ”
Niu Hao withdrew his hand from Sister-in-law Fu's hand.
She should be angry.
This wild peach tree.
Niu Hao stretched out his hand and put it on the trunk of the wild peach tree.
A sharp axe flashed with cold light and slashed at him.
The sharp blade of the axe slashed into the trunk of the tree with a thud, shaking the entire peach tree.
The axe pulled away, bringing up the severed sawdust and scattering in all directions.
The second axe fell right behind, smashing into the trunk with a tomming sound.
Screams because of the pain. There are also shouts of fear, angry cursing. The wild peach trees shook violently, shaking violently one after another.
But the wild peach tree could not move.
Her power is imprisoned. Bound by an external, more powerful force.
Not to mention that she had to fight back against the Taoist priests who cut her down, she was powerless to even escape.
The sharp axes that fell again and again crumbled the sawdust, bursting up the sap in the wood pith like blood.
A Taoist priest stopped the sharp axe in his hand, approached the cut wound on the trunk, and licked the slurry flowing from the middle.
Is it because the sap is sweet, or is it just because he drinks it and is satisfied?
The Taoist priest laughed. The crimson slurry was on his face and chin, making him look like a wild dog snatching food.
The Taoist priest who was stabbed in his body again and again was dragged all the way by the hunter, dragging him up the boulder like a low cliff.
The Taoist priest seemed to know very well what he would face next, waving his hands and struggling desperately, but he couldn't break free from Orion's palm no matter what.
Orion stuck the three-pointed hunting fork in his hand into the ground, grabbed the Taoist priest's collar with his left hand, and pulled out a bull-eared knife from his waist with his right hand.
The sword flashed, and the Taoist priest's neck had been cut open by a sharp knife.
Blood flew out like a bright red arrow from the wound on the Taoist priest's neck.
Orion held the sharp knife in his right hand in his mouth, reached out and grabbed the priest's head, letting the blood spurting from the wound flow into the deep pit left by digging the roots of the peach tree.
Because of the pain, and even more because of the fear of death, the Taoist priest stared at a pair of eyes, and his two hands clasped on Orion's arms, and his body twitched incessantly. After a while, he lost his breath.
Orion dragged the Taoist priest's body and threw it off the boulder.
The body that fell fell in front of the other four Taoist priests. The middle-aged Taoist priest with bruises on his face suddenly jumped up and ran away.
On the boulder, Orion, who had just thrown away the corpse, glanced at the running figure and took off the short bow from behind him. Zhang Gong didn't even aim at the arrow, and the sharp arrow was already off the string.
The middle-aged Taoist priest let out a scream as he ran, and the flying bow and arrow shot into his calf, slamming him to the ground.
The hunter put away his short bow, pulled the three-pointed hunting fork from the ground, jumped off the boulder, and hurried towards the middle-aged Taoist priest.
The middle-aged Taoist priest dragged the injured leg of the arrow and limped forward desperately. But no matter what, he couldn't outrun the chasing Orion.
Orion dragged the three-pointed hunting fork, and the three-pointed hunting fork was dragged on the ground and made a rustling sound, like a curse echoing in the ears of the middle-aged Taoist priest.
The middle-aged Taoist priest was finally deflated, and he knelt on the ground with a puff, moved his knees and turned his body, begging for mercy towards the chasing hunter.
The cold light flashed, and the three-pointed hunting fork stabbed down at the body turned by the middle-aged Taoist priest, piercing his chest.
Orion turned his hunting fork, picked up the body of the middle-aged Taoist priest and put it on his shoulder, turned around and walked back.
Another hunter, driving the remaining three Taoist priests, climbed the boulder with his hands and feet.
Do these two hunters want to use the blood of these Taoist priests to bring the wild peach tree back to life, or are they just out of anger to avenge the wild peach tree?
Niu Haofu's sister-in-law and the pious girl are next to the wild peach tree. And the two hunters, as if the three people in front of them did not exist at all, continued to cut the neck of a young Taoist priest and drained blood.
The dazzling red, the pungent blood, and the dying Taoist priest shook his body and struggled weakly.
In front of all this, even the pious woman forgot to let out a threatening roar from the depths of her throat and hid her body behind her sister-in-law.
The two young Taoist priests in their twenties were drained of blood in the blink of an eye, and their bodies were thrown aside.
One of the hunters reached out and grabbed the little Taoist priest who was only seven or eight years old. Niu Hao couldn't help it, and said:
"Wait. ”
The other hunter barely saw him make any moves, and the three-pointed hunting fork in his hand was already aimed at Niu Hao's throat.
The pious girl who was originally hiding behind Sister-in-law Fu blocked Niu Hao in a flash. He bared out the tiny fangs in his mouth at the Orion, and let out a loud roar in his throat.
Niu Hao stretched out his hand to grab the pious girl, and said to the two hunters:
"He's just a kid, he can't carry an axe, and he doesn't cut down a peach tree. You can't kill him just because he's wearing a robe. ”
Another hunter carried the little Taoist priest, held him high in his hand, held the ox ear sharp knife in his right hand, turned his head to look at Niu Hao, and then asked:
"Who are you?"
I am......
Niu Hao was stunned.
Niu Hao really doesn't have a great identity, and he can say that the two hunters in front of him let go of the little Taoist priest in his hand.
