Chapter 1: The Shepherd

The battle of Jiuli has been over for three days, and the red battlefield has been full of corpses, bloody and pungent, except for a few who were buried in their hometowns by the generals of both sides, most of the soldiers who died were abandoned in this battlefield.

The shepherd is a special profession hired by the Pastoral Pavilion, and the Pastoral Pavilion is the most mysterious organization in the border city.

The shepherds hired by this pastoral pavilion can be said to earn ten days a day of labor, and ten days of peace for ten days, so this war has to puff up the pockets of many pastoral people.

Walking on this dark red battlefield, bearing the pungent smell of blood, Mu Xunxue couldn't help but bend down and vomit.

Her weed-like hair was simply tied behind her back with a hemp rope, and her big watery eyes were like black pearls, embedded in her little goose-egg-like face, which made her originally ruddy little face pale from fear and hunger.

She was an orphan wandering the streets, and had been begging since she was conscious, but begging always had few things, so she never enjoyed the taste of being fed, and it was not until yesterday that her fate changed.

Yesterday she was so hungry that she used her innate ability to steal a hot white-flour steamed bun that no one would know she had stolen, because she was so fast that no one who was unsuspecting of her would notice her.

On the way to beg, she met the old beggar, who loved her as if she were his own granddaughter, and told her some strange stories, and even the bead on his wrist that could increase her speed was made by the old beggar for herself.

The old beggar has always warned her before her death that the world is too hypocritical, the prodigal son is too sinister, and she has an ability that is different from ordinary people, and she must not be shown in front of people, and she cannot use it frequently, except for the danger of her life, it is best not to show it.

However, at the age of ten, she is still just a child after all, and the child's thinking is no better than that of an adult, in her mind, if she is hungry and does not eat enough, she will definitely die, since she will die, then it is also considered to be life-threatening, so she will use this ability when she is hungry.

Until last night, when she was preparing to sleep on the street, the words of several passers-by inspired her, and those passers-by talked about the battlefield, as well as the Mulling Pavilion mercenary money, only listening to the burning of one corpse, two copper coins, Bian Nan has been fighting recently, and there are about a thousand corpses.

It wasn't until this morning that she learned the details, and she was even more bold to go to the Pastoral Pavilion to take over the task, no one was willing to take care of her, but after she showed her speed, she successfully obtained a domino.

Now she had vomited and burned three corpses, and three red dots appeared on the dominoes, like red dots on a sieve.

"Little girl, are you okay?" Behind Mu Xunxue, the long-faced man who hurriedly walked frowned and said, "I really don't know what Boss Mo thinks, how can he let you have a little child, it's really a mess."

"Ahem" After the little girl coughed lightly, a trace of grievance flashed in her eyes, and she said pitifully: "Uncle, you pity poor Xue'er, right? I haven't eaten a full meal for a long time."

"This..."The long-faced man was very helpless, and sighed: "Okay, I'll go and ask the head of the regiment to let you stay in the regiment."

"Thank you, uncle" After hearing this, the little girl said with joy on her face: "Xue'er will definitely repay the uncle"

"No need to repay it" The man took her dominoes and touched them with his own.

After Mu Xunxue's dominoes were still on the ground, the long-faced man said lightly: "The Pastoral Pavilion has hired ten pastoral groups, and our group has the worst results now, although there are many fake pastors in other teams, but they are much better than you."

It wasn't until the long-faced man left far away that Mu Xunxue breathed a sigh of relief, and after picking up her dominoes, her little face instantly became rosy, and she looked at the three red dots on her dominoes with joy, behind the red dots was a hundred words, and now her dominoes have become three hundred?

Isn't he already earning six hundred copper coins now? When converted into silver, it is enough to six taels, and he strokes the dominoes with affection in his eyes, and has already calculated in his heart what he should eat for dinner, and he has never seen so much money.

This is a hundred miles away from the border city, and seeing that the sun is about to set in the West Mountain, Xiao Xunxue looked around, and suddenly felt her hairs stand up.

In her mind, she should find her team as soon as possible now, only in this way can she have some sense of security, otherwise it will be more painful than death to spend the night alone in this battlefield full of corpses.

However, her search was fruitless, which made her heart palpitate, and she did not want to admit that she was lost with the team, believing that as long as she waited in the place where she had just been separated from the uncle, she would wait for them to come and find her.

"Huh, it looks like someone is crying" The black-faced man slowed down and wiped the sweat from his forehead, as if looking for the source of the cry.

"Are you stupid?" A thin-faced man walking next to him looked at him with disdain and scolded: "Didn't you see that the five members of our regiment were torn apart by living corpses?

"This..."The black-faced man frowned slightly, and said in embarrassment: "Monkey, what you said is very reasonable, but I still feel a little inappropriate."

"What's wrong?" The thin-faced man glared at him and scolded angrily: "If you want to take care of it, you can take care of it, Lao Tzu won't accompany you"

The black-faced man was hesitating, when he saw a hand on the face of the thin-faced man, and warm blood splattered his face, and the hand passed through the back of the thin-faced man's head, and behind him stood a half-decomposed corpse.

"Ahh

After taking a few steps back, the black-faced man tripped over the stump under his feet and fell to the ground, his pants were wet, his lips and teeth were constantly trembling, and he watched the rotting corpse that was unrecognizable, walking slowly towards him, and he actually screamed and fainted in fright.

Xiao Xunxue, who was still waiting to be searched, was already crying with red eyes at this time, she didn't know what was going on here, and she didn't know if someone would come to look for her, now she only knew that she had to wait.

She wasn't waiting for the uncle, nor any one from her mercenary group, not even a person, for standing in front of her was a half-rotted corpse that was now holding a man's head and gnawing on it.

"Ahh

Xiao Xunxue's face was pale with fright, and after taking a few steps back, she turned around with a scream and ran backwards, she was completely lost in this battlefield, she only ran, and she didn't dare to stop at all, even if she was very tired.

The corpse resurrected in this way on the battlefield is replaced with a resentful corpse, and only when it is extremely sad and resentful before death, and after the death qi gathered by thousands of corpses, can such a mutation occur, it can be said that the probability of this corpse transformation is extremely rare, but it cannot be said that there is no such thing at all.

However, such a chance,Unfortunately, I was hit by Xiao Xunxue, who came to the battlefield for the first time to try her luck.,Although she was scared to run around.,But the domino was held very tightly by her.,It never fell.。

Xiao Xunxue, who was really exhausted, sat down on the ground, making her glad that the living corpse did not chase after her, maybe even if he lived, it was only a corpse, and he couldn't catch up, or maybe he was full and disdained to chase himself.

However, for Xiao Xunxue, no matter what the reason, it is very beneficial to herself, at least she can take a few breaths of air now, and she doesn't have to run to her lungs and die.

When she calmed down, she heard the sound of the piano from nowhere, the sound was very poignant, but the rhythm was very good, which made her miss the dead old beggar a little, after all, she had taken care of herself for so long.

And his parents, whom he has never met, are they alive or dead? If they are born in the world, where are they? Why did they abandon themselves? The more I thought about it, the more sad I became, and I actually cried aggrievedly, tears rolling down from my eyes and dripping on my little hand holding the domino.

In the center of the battlefield stood a corpse with blood-red eyes, and some black smoke shrouded his decomposing body, which looked terrifying.

In the sky above him was a woman in a green shirt, her toes trampling in the void, her jade fingers caressing a nine-stringed piano glowing with blue light, the sound of the piano was poignant, as if the bride in the boudoir was remembering her husband who died in battle, and the heart of the listener was broken.

The red-faced corpse at her feet screamed and grabbed upward, how could she be imprisoned like a cage by the sound of the piano, and after several struggles to no avail, the corpse actually wanted to escape.

"There is no love in life, and there is liberation in death, both for the demon spirit, dissipated" The fairy-faced green-shirted woman waved her fingers faster, and the music changed suddenly, and some silver feather blades that were visible to the naked eye flew out of the piano, and gathered them towards the red-eyed corpse at her feet.

The blood mist dissipates and the full moon returns

With the demise of the red-eyed demon spirit, the entire battlefield has lost its monstrous blood, and even the same as the general region, the difference is only that there are thousands of more corpses, but under this fairy face and unparalleled piano skills of the moon-chasing fairy, and the song of crossing the soul, I believe that it will not take long for these corpses to decay.

"The living who sleep on the battlefield?" After the moon-chasing fairy put away the nine-stringed lyre, she squatted down and picked up Mu Xunxue, who was sleeping next to the corpse, and said softly: "I chase the moon and have no disciples in this life, you and I are destined, so I will keep you by my side first."

After the words were spoken, the moon-chasing fairy was gone, and the entire battlefield became dead and desolate again, the difference was that there were dozens of more corpses, and there was less resentment that could not be dispersed.
