Chapter 2 Strange Appearances
Burning, killing, robbing, snatching, chickens flying and dogs jumping, Xiaohu Village was suddenly filled with fireworks, and people cried and screamed.
Iron Egg rode on the horse's back and laughed wildly, his face piled up layer after layer of meat. After laughing wildly, a ruthless color flashed in his eyes, and he picked up the big axe behind his back and slashed at Li Lao Er, who was holding the long whip.
There was a wail, blood flew sideways, and Li Laoer's right arm was cut off by a big axe shoulder-to-shoulder.
"Second uncle!"
Blood splattered on his face like red teardrops, slowly rolling down. Zhao Dongsheng stared at his eyes and shouted heartbreakingly.
As if before he could breathe, Tie Dan flicked the long whip in his hand, rolled up his arm with a full sleeve on the ground, and threw it into the raging fire.
The thatch on the house crackled and burned, and Li Laoer, who had lost his right arm, fainted in a pool of blood, half of his body was dyed red......
"You bastard!"
Rolling like a monstrous anger in his heart, Zhao Dongsheng howled, pulled out the weird short knife pinned to his waist, and rushed forward. Tie Dan looked disdainful, tightened the reins of the horse, swept by, and kicked the upper door.
was kicked to the ground with a hard kick, Zhao Dongsheng was drenched in blood, and his face was blurred. The proud iron egg noticed that the short knife in his hand had no blade, and couldn't help sneering: "Little rabbit cub, scare me with such a doll's thing, and look for death!"
I only felt that my head was groggy, and the sharp axe was getting closer and closer to me, and I wanted to get up, but my legs and feet did not obey the call, and I couldn't move. Blood dripped in the dirt and hit the daggers. Slowly, he didn't seem to hear any sound anymore, and the world was spinning, and everything was in a trance. In their eyes, there were only the greedy expressions and extremely ugly smiling faces of the robbers.
They are jackals, foxes, dogs......
No, it's not......
They are evil spirits from the underworld.
The gloomy sky lowered a few more minutes......
The strange short knife suddenly trembled and buzzed. Dao red qi waves continued to flow from top to bottom, slowly turning black, and then turning white. The three colors intersect, and the air waves turn faster and faster, bringing the sound of whirring wind, and the large and small broken soil dances with the wind. Zhao Dongsheng hurriedly let go of the hand he was holding, I was afraid that in a few moments, this hand would be shattered by the air waves. Suddenly, the short knife came out of his hand and hung in the air.
Looking at the strange scene in front of him, an ominous chill hit his heart, and Tie Dan Tima turned sideways and was about to stop. Suddenly, a wave of red, black and white qi burst out from the short knife, encircling each other, and instantly hitting the raised horse's neck.
With a "bang", Tie Dan flew upside down with people and horses, smashing into the tattered grass cart in the distance. The already dilapidated grass cart was smashed like this, and it became sparse. When he fell off the horse, it hurt because he grinned his teeth and broke out in a cold sweat, and he was staggering and confused. I looked at the old horse next to me again, and I sighed in my heart. Just look at its seven orifices bleeding, motionless, lifeless, already dead.
In mid-air, the three-color qi wave slowly introverted, closing at the short shank ring, forming nine arc-shaped grooves that reversed outward. The nine grooves are close to each other, but they are not connected, showing a vortex shape. The black and white colors gradually faded, and the waves of red qi converged in an arc, adding a touch of bright red and blood-like color to the black short knife.
Then, the short knife flew back into his hand, and blood-colored streaks suddenly appeared behind the handle, crawling along his arm like a long snake and gradually spreading to his body, covering the entire front chest and back, forming strange lines. The veins continue to swim, rising and falling, thickening and thinning, climbing along the neck to the corners of the eyes, rising an inch, like soaking red willow leaves in blood.
The wind was howling, and it seemed that there was only Zhao Dongsheng in heaven and earth. Armed with a strange dagger and covered in blood-colored magic patterns, his hair flying up and down in the wind.
It was as if everything was still, only the crackling of the burning vegetation. Whether it was Tie Dan and his party, or everyone in Xiaohu Village, looking at the strange changes in front of them, they were all dumbfounded and afraid.
"Demon ...... Yokai ......"
Looking at the terrifying scene in front of him, Tie Dan's liver was shattered, and he screamed in fright. He looked at the dead horse lying on the ground bleeding from seven orifices, the desire for money, and the arrogance in his heart was suddenly thrown out of the clouds. He got up and stumbled towards the entrance of the village. After stumbling, he didn't forget to look back, and shouted from time to time: "Youkai...... Yokai ......"
The robbers, who had just been like wolves, were all blinded at once, looking at the back of the iron egg leaving in terror, they couldn't care about anything else, and hurriedly fled from Xiaohu Village......
The magic pattern gradually receded, and the whole body was indescribably cold, as if the blood was also congealed. Zhao Dongsheng's eyes were closed, and he was completely unconscious. The people of the village had not yet recovered from their fright, and they all stood there in a daze, looking at him timidly from afar.
"Boom~"
A thunderclap resounded in the sky, and rain came one after another, "popping" and dripping on the burning thatch, hitting in a pool of blood. The ripples in the circles became more and more indistinguishable until they could not be distinguished.
The wind and rain are blowing, and the lightning is thundering. The blood faded and the fire stopped.
In the heavy rain, Zhao Dongsheng fell beside Li Laoer, wet his cheeks and his clothes......
In the early morning, the sun shines brightly on the land. As usual, the people of Xiaohu Village are fishing and hunting. It's just that there is a lot less laughter after work. In the case of the iron egg, there were dead and wounded in the village, and the whole village was still shrouded in the shadow of death.
The roof was re-thatched, but it looked out of place.
The strong smell of herbs filled the room, and a few iron hooks for drying animal skins hung diagonally on the wall.
Half-squinting, Zhao Dongsheng got up weakly, and the foot of the bed made a "squeak" sound. His head was still groggy, and he had a sharp pain in his body, and he couldn't help but cough a few more times.
Hearing the sound in the house, Li Lao Er immediately walked in.
"Dongsheng, you're awake. ”
"II...... Second Uncle ......"
Seeing Li Laoer's bare sleeves on one side, his heart ached, and the old situation was vivid, and he said in a low voice: "It's all because I'm too young to protect my second uncle." made a ghost, the second uncle is still a hand......"
Li Lao Er looked at his remorseful expression, his heart was hot, and he suddenly felt funny again, and said: "What nonsense, curse Second Uncle I will die early...... We're not dead yet, we're all fine. ”
It turned out that he thought that he and Li Lao Er were dead, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but glance in the house a few times. Everything is so familiar, home is still the same home, and my heart suddenly calmed down a lot.
"Second uncle, but your hand is ......"
Seeing that he was fine, Li Lao Er finally breathed a sigh of relief. looked at the sleeves that were swaying back and forth, was silent for a moment, and then smiled: "Manly man, it's okay." As he spoke, he picked up the small pottery bowl on the wooden table and handed it over.
The bowl was filled with black soup, and a strong smell of herbs came to my nose. He took the small bowl with both hands, raised his neck, and drank a large gulp.
"It's good to drink...... "Li Lao Er asked with a smile.
I saw that the corners of his mouth twitched, and his eyebrows were twisted like twists. Feeling bitter and astringent in his mouth, he held his breath and swallowed hard, saying, "Okay...... Delicious ......"
Seeing his unpalatable expression, Li Lao Er smiled and said, "Hehe, stinky boy." The medicine is bitter, and after drinking it, it will be fine. ”
"You've been sleeping for three days, but you frightened the second uncle. If there are three longs and two shorts, how can I explain to my eldest brother and sister-in-law. Li Lao Er frowned and sighed softly.
Zhao Dongsheng paused, looked up at the fatherly anxious second uncle, and the heart that he didn't want to touch was opened.
is often ridiculed as a wild child without a father. What does his father and mother look like, whether they are tall or short, fat or thin, but they are out of reach for him. In the dream, it was only their vague figures......
Lonely lowered his head and drank the medicinal soup in a big gulp. The decoction in the bowl is bitter and astringent, but the body has to get better, and life has to go on.
Seeing that he didn't say a word, Li Lao Er also knew which pot he didn't open and which pot he didn't mention, and then asked: "Child, the people in the village say that you have fallen into evil and become as scary as a monster." He also took a short knife and killed the horse with the iron egg with a demon method, what is going on?"
Hearing this question, Zhao Dongsheng put down the medicine bowl, recalled the original situation, and said slowly: "Tie Dan rushed over on horseback, and somehow, the short knife flew out of my hand by itself, and then I was so dizzy that I couldn't remember anything." ”
Li Lao Er was confused when he heard this, and wondered: "Have you run around to an unclean place recently, and have you been infected with any evil spirit? Where did that short knife come from?"
Take a sip of the remaining decoction and set the bowl aside.
"I got bored early in the morning, so I went to the lake to play and caught a big fish. As he spoke, he stretched out his two small hands and gestured. "The dagger was fished up from the lake, and I brought it back as if it were a gadget, and I named it the Pig-Killing Knife......
Picked up the weird short knife thrown in the corner of the wall and looked at it, black and not slippery, there is no blade, not to mention the pig killing knife, I am afraid that the vegetables will not be cut, how can I kill a living tall horse...... Then he checked his body back and forth a few times, and there was still a mess of blood-colored magic patterns, except for the thin spots, which were no different from other children.
"Could it be that it is really possessed by demons?" thought to himself, Li Lao Er threw the short knife back into the corner.
"Li Er, Li Er, you conscienceless ......" A woman's scolding came from outside the door.
Li Lao Er sighed and said, "Dongsheng, you have a good rest first." I went out to see what the woman was yelling about. With that, he put away the medicine bowl and walked out of the room.
There was a middle-aged woman standing outside the door, with a bloated body, and a matchmaker mole on the side of her mouth added a bit of festivity, muttering: "Li Lao Er, come over to me!"
"What did you shout early in the morning, but I didn't put down this bowl. ”
Second Aunt Li glanced at her, walked over in three steps and two steps, and muttered, "What about this kid Dongsheng?"
"What to do?"
"You, you, the village has spread that this kid is possessed by a demon, and even your dead sister-in-law was killed by him. If you keep him here, you might all have to die one day. Now, the people in the village are even hiding from me when they see me......" As she spoke, Aunt Li began to whimper.
Li Lao Er's eyes were glaring, and he was angry. "Don't listen to the gossip outside. If it weren't for Dongsheng's child, I'm afraid Xiaohu Village would have been gone long ago!"
Seeing that she was sobbing and didn't answer, Li Laoer's heart softened, and he always felt that he owed her a lot, and said slowly: "Okay, okay, what does crying look like." I'll go to the town and find a master to take a look at the exorcism. After speaking, he shook his hand and hurried in the direction of Chishui Town.
