monster song

Chapter 2 Escape

This dry well is the place where she hid herself when her parents were killed. She will never forget that winter has just gone and spring has just come. The smoke is the mother simmering the broth, and the faint music is the flute played by the father.

The red stream all over the ground...is the blood of close relatives...is the desire of the wicked...

The family was ruined, and on that day, my mother hid Shuyu in the dry well... The well was dark, five or six years old, ignorant of world affairs, accompanied by chaotic footsteps outside, and the miserable roar of relatives, while she was trembling.And time slowly heals people's hearts, but it's a pity that even today she is afraid of the dark...

If it was unfortunate, it was indeed unfortunate. That year became a nightmare of a lifetime. If it was lucky, it was also lucky. The dry well had a hidden hole, with all the furniture in it, food and drink, and an unopened letter.

After waking up from the nightmare, Shu Yu rubbed his eyes, sat up, and sighed: "It's been three months, Miss Mo Li won't come again." Speaking of this, although she was lonely, she still smiled slightly, no wonder she.

Taking a long breath, he shook his head and hoped that he could forget Li Li.

Ever since she was chased by a demon catcher when she exposed her evil aura last time, she is now more careful every time she goes out, trying to find wild vegetables, after all, it is much safer than stealing, or going to the south of the city to avoid crowded places as a last resort.

However, winter has come recently, snow has started to fall outside, and the plants have basically withered.And this time she wanted to get a few candles, because the mouth of the well was covered with wooden boards to keep snow from falling. Once the cover was closed, the sun and moonlight could not come in, and the well was dark, and she was afraid of the dark.

With that in mind, he stood up, and seemed to have to go out.Climb up the ladder, push away the wooden planks, and snowflakes fell in immediately. The thin clothes made the trees tremble from the cold. Strange to say, this well is warm in winter and cool in summer.The water outside the house is frozen, but in the well, you don't even need a quilt to sleep.

This well is simply a treasure to Shuyu, so he has lived there for more than ten years.

Climbing out of the well, her legs were stuck in the snow, trembling uncontrollably, she hunched over and breathed with her hands, and after a while, she thought of closing the well cover.

"Snow, snow, why is it so cold..." She said in a trembling voice, with a faint smile on her face, exhaling into her hands to warm herself up, the heavy snow fell on her body, like dressed in white...

"It's not easy to stay here for a long time. If you don't starve to death, you will freeze to death first." She said, and ran to the city, but because of the heavy snow this year, her legs were stuck in the snow below her knees, and she couldn't even run.

It took me a long time to waste my strength before I took a step slowly, but it is not a problem to go back at this time, after all, I have been hungry for three days...

I don't know how long it took, and finally came to the gate of the city. The heavy snow in the city not only withered the plants, but also made the food vendors close their stalls.

However, Shuyu, who has lived alone for more than ten years, still knows how to find food so as not to starve to death.

She walked and hid, and finally came to the back door of a restaurant in the south of the city. There was always discarded food at the back door. Those foods were either leftovers from customers, or searched and damaged.

She doesn't complain, what's the point in order to survive...

She only remembered that in that winter, if it wasn't for the leftovers, she would have starved to death on the street.

She also sneaked into the back kitchen of a private house and stole food, but... recently, the evil spirit in her body has been exposed so much that she even noticed it herself, so she dared not get too close to people.

Missing the soup made by her mother, the strong aroma lingered in the house for a long time... She hid behind the door, huddled up, her hands were already red from the cold, and her knuckles were shaking with pain.How can a thin layer of unlined clothing resist the cold and snow in winter... Swallowing a mouthful of smear, and sniffing my nose, I don't know why I feel more and more sleepy...

"Have you heard of it?" Such a conversation came from the back door of the hotel.

"what?"

"Do you know that there is a city built in the northwest mountains?"

"Oh, oh, you said that the city is full of monsters? How is this possible."

"But many monster catchers went and never came back."

"Tch...you take the rumors seriously. My uncle has been there to collect medicines. He has never seen any cities. There are even monsters. The monsters have long since died."

The word "monster" instantly awakened Shuyu.What?monster?True or false...Northwest Mountain... She rubbed her hands, her eyes became brighter and brighter, she kept thinking, and her heart was full of unconcealable joy, she wanted to go and see... If there really were monsters... would she accept me? .How much she wanted to tell others that there was a monster named Nie Shuyu in this world.

Sudden.

"Hey? Master, this is the back kitchen, you can't come in." A man's surprised voice came from the back door.

"You have monsters here!" The man said seriously, grabbing the handyman's collar and throwing it aside.

Monster catcher... These words flashed through my mind... I can't wait here for food, run away!Shu Yu hurriedly stood up, with a serious expression and fled to the distance.

The monster catcher pushed open the back door and smiled slightly when he saw the monster fleeing: "I want to escape...but the monster's aura betrayed you." A long trail.

"Hehe, let's see where you are going." The monster catcher stroked his beard, jumped into the air, and chased after the monster.

The wind is blowing heavy snow... the surroundings are white, no matter where she flees, the demonic aura, footprints... will reveal her traces, and the cold has already made her limbs numb and her eyes blurred. She never thought that she would never go back after leaving the well up.

She stood in the white snow outside the city, but she thought of the monster city in the northwest mountain...go there...flee there...there are monsters, maybe they will save me, there are no monsters...if there are no monsters, let me be reborn as a human in the next life ! ! !

She ran to that mountain with the last of her strength, it was the only chance to be saved, she could only fight for it, the knee-high snow made it difficult for her to walk, but luckily he left earlier than the demon catcher , otherwise he would have been caught up.

The mountain is not too far away. Seeing that they have finally reached the foot of the mountain, it is difficult to climb up...

She fell into the snow and looked up, breathing heavily, watching the white crystals formed by snowflakes and air currents fall on her cold cheeks.

Snow, snow, why are you so cold.

"Father...mother..." She called out in a weak voice, she didn't know whether it was a hallucination or reality, she saw her parents standing in the snow and waving to her.She wanted to get up and hug them, but she just couldn't stand up, her numb body was like a rock, neither painful nor itchy, nor moving.

Not far away, the demon catcher really followed after him. Seeing that Shuyu was lying on the ground dying, he laughed loudly: "Inferior beast, you are still going to die after running away! Hahaha."

He smiled wildly and got closer and closer to Shuyu. Shuyu frowned and tried to open his eyes. The fear and nervousness before had slowly disappeared, even if he died...Dad, mother, baby did their best... already Trying to survive... please forgive me... so useless.

She thought so, and then closed her eyes.

Suddenly a gust of cold wind blows like a knife, mixed with the fragrance of spring peach blossoms, "It's so sweet..." Shu Yu murmured vaguely, smelling the fragrance of peach blossoms.

All I could hear was the sound of feet stepping on the snow, the sound of the wind blowing the hem of clothes, and the friction sound of a sharp sword across the flesh...

Am I dead?Shu Yu was thinking like this, and tried to open her eyelids, but she couldn't see the sharp edge in her chest. She looked forward.The wind was blowing heavy snow, that woman was like a plum blossom blooming in the ice and snow. Tough and tender, Bai Zhi's slender hand tightly held a sharp sword, the sword was already stained red, blood dripped on the ground, and it was bloody red... All this and the woman's innocence seemed to be a beautiful picture.

In front of the woman, the demon catcher who had been so complacent didn't even make a sound of exclamation, and died instantly. His head rolled to the side and was buried by the snow.

And she... turned her back to Shuyu and turned her head slightly.

Shu Yu looked at her side face... the brown pupils were like a pool of clear water that was icy cold to the bones, or because of the weather, his cheeks were as white as frost and snow, and his lips were as red as red... he looked dazed.He killed someone, but he didn't care, his pupils remained calm and cold, and the word lingered on the tree's chest.She opened her vermilion lips lightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she took it back.

After a while, she came to Shuyu and slowly picked him up.

Warmth, the palms of her hands on her back were warm, Shu Yu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and gently rubbed his head against her neck.

But the woman didn't seem to notice, she hugged the tree and disappeared into the sky with Qinggong.

That heavy snow was both hateful and beautiful.
