Chapter 164: Rescued in the Snow
Winter is finally coming, and in a few days, it will be the end of the first year of Xuanhe. The heavy snow fell between the heavens and the earth, as if it had changed a trick, dyeing all the rivers and mountains white.
Outside a small village outside Shezhou, a few children are playing in the snow, fist-sized snowballs are whizzing around in the air, if they are hit, it will not hurt, and the dry white snow will soon disperse into snow powder.
The giggles kept coming, and one of the boys, the youngest, was the target of a siege after playing for a while. Three or five older boys chased and beat them all the way, but the little boy didn't have time to fight back, and he was hit by a snowball and couldn't lift his head.
"Don't fight!!" the little boy begged for mercy while running violently, this was a field, empty, and the little boy had no other way but to escape. But the others would not give up, and while he turned back to speak, a few more snowballs were thrown away.
"Oops!" the snowball was right in the little boy's head, and he stumbled under his feet and fell into the snow.
Listening to the voices of the men getting closer and closer, the little boy was anxious, looked up, and suddenly saw a stone more than one person high not far ahead.
"Hide there!" said the boy, and rushed to the rock, rolling his bones, and hiding behind the stone, when several snowballs flew and were blocked by the stone.
The little boy was extremely proud, poked his head out and smiled: "Hey, if you have the ability, you can smash it again!" His subordinates were not idle, they grabbed a handful of white snow casually, and picked it out, just hitting the boy in the lead. The boy was caught off guard and fell on all fours.
The older boys were stunned when they saw the situation, and they didn't dare to step forward for a while.
The little boy became more and more proud. At that moment, the bow was fired left and right, and snowballs flew out from behind the stones. The other boys yelled angrily, and immediately returned the color. It's a pity that the stone is too big. The little boy's body was tightly blocked, and although they were outnumbered, the snowballs all fell on the stones, and there was no practical effect.
Smashing and smashing, everyone was a little tired, and the little boy was scurrying with his back against the stone, and suddenly heard an exclamation: "Look!"
"What did they see?" the little boy was curious, and he leaned out to look, but the boys were pointing in his direction. His face was full of horror.
The little boy was wondering to himself, when he suddenly felt a slight shake of the stone in front of him, and then fell straight towards him.
The little boy's face changed greatly, and he screamed in fright, but he couldn't hide, and with a poof, he was pressed under the stone, splashing countless snowflakes, and the boys hurriedly surrounded him. However, on the surface of the "stone", part of the snow has been scattered, revealing a man in sloppy clothes.
"It's a person!" one boy couldn't help but exclaim, but was shocked by another tall boy. ", you know it's a person." ”
The boy's face was full of disbelief, and he raised his head and said, "It's a dead man......"
As soon as this statement came out. The boys are all stepping back, look at me. I see you, and my heart is terrified.
I don't know how to be good. Suddenly, I heard a little boy's voice from under the man: "Help--help--crush me-"
The boys woke up from a dream and wanted to save the little boy, but they didn't dare to come forward.
At this time, the oldest and tallest boy stomped his feet violently and shouted, "What are you afraid of, it is important to save people!"
He stepped forward and wanted to move the man's body away. It's a pity that he didn't have enough strength, and after trying hard for a while, the man didn't move.
Hearing the little boy below keep calling, the other boys hesitated for a while, and finally made up their minds and stepped forward to help.
Everyone worked together and finally pushed the man's body away, but fortunately the little boy was safe. At this time, I looked at the man wrapped in the snow and remembered that I was afraid. I don't know who was the first to scream, and the boys scattered and ran back to the village, leaving the man alone and lying quietly in the snow.
The man Xu suffered this fall, but he slowly opened his eyes, and whispered softly: "Cai Xiao...... Cai Xiao ......"
The man was Shen Zhuoyu, he had come all the way here, and for two months, he often did not eat or drink, wandering around aimlessly.
He just wanted to escape from all the past, and in his opinion, he was the lone star of the heavens, and anyone who had something to do with him would not end well.
After a while, he muttered for a while, and as far as he could see, in addition to the boundless sky, there were snowflakes that kept falling, and before he knew it, he fell asleep again.
It didn't take long for the villagers to hear the news, and they found Shen Zhuoyu in the snow and probed his snort, only to realize that the "dead man" mentioned by the children had not really died. The kind-hearted villagers brought him into the village and temporarily settled him in the village chief's house.
After that, he invited Lang Zhong to check on the stranger, Lang Zhong looked at it, frowned and said: "This person is as strong as an ox, as long as he eats some water and rice, he will be fine after a few days of rest." ”
Sure enough, the villagers fed some water and white porridge according to what Lang Zhong said, and Shen Zhuoyu quickly woke up.
When he opened his eyes, there were many unfamiliar faces around the bed, and after a moment's pause, he guessed that these people must have saved him. He wanted to say thank you, but the burning mountain of corpses in front of the village suddenly flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but shiver.
"Are you better, young man?" said the village chief with a kind and concerned face. Who knew that Shen Zhuoyu suddenly sat up, and without saying a word, he was about to get out of bed.
"Oh young man, you're not well yet, you can't get up!" the village chief said urgently, stretching out his hand to stop him, Shen Zhuoyu shook his hands, broke free from his obstruction, and walked away from the door.
The villagers were in a hurry, screamed loudly, and stepped forward one after another. Although Shen Zhuoyu's mind is not clear, he has not forgotten his martial arts at all, how can these ordinary people stop him?
Before the first few touched the corners of their clothes, they were inexplicably overturned to the ground, Shen Zhuoyu moved like a ghost, but in just three steps, he was about to step out of the inner room.
At this moment, he suddenly stopped. There was a circle of children no more than seven or eight years old around the door, both men and women, all looking at him earnestly.
In the face of these gazes, Shen Zhuoyu was a little overwhelmed, and the little man who had been pressed under him before was also among them, at this time he took a step and asked, "Big brother, do you want to leave?"
Shen Zhuoyu frowned, fixed his mind, didn't answer him when he heard the words, took a step diagonally, let go of these children, and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard a strange chirp coming from afar, and couldn't help but stop, looking at the direction of the entrance of the village in a daze.
With that shout, the villagers in the house suddenly ran out in a panic, looking extremely frightened, and they couldn't care about Shen Zhuoyu anymore.
"Why are they here again, haven't they sent something?"
"These people kill people without blinking, so let's hurry up and hide at home. ”
"No, it's too late, it's all at the entrance of the village!"
......
The villagers were talking, Shen Zhuoyu wanted to leave, but when he heard these words, his heart was suddenly shocked, and he said secretly: "Who is it who kills people without blinking? Could it be that Shen Mu is chasing after him again?" (To be continued......)
