As the shrill cry sounded, the sound of the sword hitting also disappeared.On a sultry summer night, the chirping and croaking sounds of insects and frogs are the first to return to liveliness, and the dead village has a kind of eerie horror amidst the insects.

No one came out, no one made a sound, and the ordinary villagers knew how to cherish their lives the most.

Feihua didn't hear Liu Bin's voice either. He might have been killed, he might have left, or he was still lurking outside.

He and Tie Bao crouched behind the pile of wooden boxes and clay pots under the bed, and all they could smell in their noses were the smell of old dust and earth.The sound outside subsided, but they were still lying on their stomachs motionless, Tie Bao's fingers tightly clasped Feihua's arm, his big round eyes were dazed, his head quietly turned to look at Feihua, and then stared at the black paint outside. Painted house somewhere.

Time passed little by little, and the white belly of the sky gradually climbed up the window panes of the house.

Feihua moved slightly, half of his body was almost numb, and his brain was also sluggish and drowsy due to lack of sleep and too tense. In the final analysis, this body is still too weak.

He clung to Tie Bao's ear and told him to stay where he was, walked around the wooden box under the bed, climbed out from the side rail under the bed, looked through the crack of the door for a while, but couldn't see anything clearly due to the grayness.

It was extremely quiet outside, as if there was no one there. He gently pushed the latch open, and tried his best to control the wooden door to open without making a sound. As soon as he poked his head out, Feihua saw a figure flashing into the small courtyard .

He was startled, and hurried back to crawl under the bed before the door was closed.

With a slight creak, the door opened and closed. Liu Bin walked into the room, lit the oil lamp in the dark, and went to the bed and lifted the bed curtain, but he didn't find the two children.

"Not a flower..."

He called softly, and then heard a rustling sound from under the bed. After a while, two little heads covered in cobwebs and dust emerged from the hem of the bed curtain.

He laughed silently, the two well-behaved children actually hid under the bed.

"What's going on outside?"

Helping to bandage Liu Bin's shoulder injury, changed into clean clothes, Feihua sat on the edge of the bed and asked.

"Well, it's a group of killers chasing someone. It seems that they want to get something. If they don't get it, they kill them all."

"Are you going to join in the fun too?"

Liu Bin smiled naively, "They were going to kill a child, I stopped it, but the child was killed anyway, and that's why he got hurt..."

Feihua is silent, people don't bother to find someone, if he has to say something, he can only say that Liu Bin is a rare person with internal and external unity, and his mind is the same as when he smiles.

The few people squinted on the bed for a while, the sky was getting brighter, and the voices in the village gradually rose. After they got up to wash and eat the hot steamed buns and millet porridge brought by the host, there was a lot of noise outside. All the village chiefs and chiefs of the village have come, and they are sending people to invite the government officials.

Because of this matter, Feihua Liu Bin and his party can't leave for the time being, they can only wait until the official messenger arrives.

As the villagers watched from a distance, those corpses were like strange-looking radishes, drying alone in the sun.

Feihua saw the child Liu Bin was talking about.

At the age of fourteen or fifteen, wearing a gorgeous blue robe, a piece of jasper slid on the side of his cheek, shining crystal clear green in the sun.

Such a young child, who grew up enjoying the glory and wealth, died like this.

die.He remembered that when he died in his previous life, after that moment of violent collision, he came to this world without feeling anything.And he, the him in the original world, may not even have a single worshipper after his death.

It's really like dying like a lamp going out, and you don't even need a pinch of loess.

The county magistrate and the official messenger did not arrive until near noon. Wu Zuo inspected the scene and asked the villagers what happened. Of course, Liu Bin was also questioned as a key target. Finally, the government came to a conclusion: the dispute between the rivers and lakes needs to be investigated.Due to the weather, the government organized the villagers to bury those corpses on the spot.

Eighteen white-clothed guards, father and son, richly dressed, were buried on a small hill behind the village, except for the tombs of "the tomb of the elder brother of the Li family" and "the tomb of the youngest son of the Li family" made by Liu Bin. Brands, twenty fresh mounds of dirt, vanished without a trace in the scorching sun.

Ten or twenty years later, maybe these mounds of once-living lives will be covered with weeds and thorns, and after 20 or 50 years, maybe they will be washed away by wind and rain, making them no different from the surrounding flat land, and becoming miscellaneous. Rooting soil for grass or plants.

Life is like this, in a certain period of a certain era, in a certain class, life is always fragile and cheap.

After having lunch at the house of the host who stayed overnight last night, Feihua and his party set off in the car.

The sun at noon was very hot, and the chirping and chirping of summer insects all over the place was like a hypnotic sound. The mule cart was moving slowly, and Feihua was leaning in the carriage, eyes half-closed. Before sleepiness hit him, he suddenly thought of , I don’t know if that woman from the Yue family will greet him with a group of killers...

13. Desert Escape...

In fact, the word crow's mouth has some truth.

Feihua is a little depressed. Are the killers of this era so cheap?Or, the Yue family's wealth has reached the point of throwing cabbages? !

With Tiebao on his back, Feihua stumbled through the long wormwood. The thick and sharp leaves of the long grass cut his skin into small holes. One of his shoes fell off, but he didn't notice it. .

It's been two days.

Since they met the killer in that village that night, they have encountered three groups of killers along the way.The first batch came because of Liu Bin's meddling. It seems that what the group of killers were looking for had lost their traces, and the only one who had contacted the Li family (the one that was hunted down, I will not forget it) The outsider is Liu Bin.

It seemed impossible to reason with the killer, and Feihua and the others became unlucky fugitive slaves on the spot.Fortunately, Liu Bin's martial arts is not bad, and he can find them quickly after distracting the killers; unfortunately, the next two groups of people simply didn't ask questions, and they didn't make a sound. Just kill him.

The last time, Liu Bin was entangled, and Feihua and Tiebao had to jump from the cliff into the river.

Thanks to the gift of her previous life, Feihua's water skills are not bad, but——Feihua turned her head to look at the iron treasure on her back—this little idiot was purely dragging him down.

The turbulent river under the cliff probably took them a long way, and they were stranded on this grassy beach. For the time being, they don't have to worry about those killers, but if it drags on, whether their lives can be saved is also a question.

The wormwood under their feet seems to be endless and never ending. Feihua has been walking in it for two days. If it's not that the land is very large, it's that they got lost and kept wandering in it.

The sun was getting higher and higher, so Feihua found a place where the wormwood was not so dense, and sat down to rest for a while.

He casually pulled a handful of grass leaves to stop the bleeding, chewed them up and applied them on Tiebao's calf and his own arm.

This unlucky child fell into the river and cut his calf. The wound was inflamed and swollen. He had a fever and fell asleep for a day. Feihua was really afraid that he would become a little fool.

Feihua is not bad either, with numerous wounds of various sizes all over his body, and the cut on his arm made him carry Tiebao on his back, so he can only move a little distance every day.

Feihua's whole body consisted only of the bundle that was tied to her back, a few pieces of dry biscuits inside had been soaked to a paste, a few pieces of clothing, a small dagger given by Qing Rong that day, two skewers Copper coins, a small jar of maltose.

The fire sickle and most other practical things are on Liu Bin's body.

For two days, Feihua could only dig grass roots in the grass, catch snakes or insects to fill his stomach, and save the sugar for Tiebao.

He didn't know when this meadow would come out.He could only walk along the direction of the river, the tall wormwood blocked his sight, he didn't know how to better identify the way out.

There are many cracks under the feet, the blood scabs are new and old, the clothes are dirty and torn, and the hair is messed up. If Liu Bin passes by, I don't know if he can recognize the two of them.

The night slowly fell, and the sky above the meadow began to twinkle with stars. Lying on the grass by the river bank, if the situation was not too bleak, it would be a bit romantic.

Feihua fed the dazed Tiebao a little maltose juice melted from river water. The clothes were wrung wet and covered his forehead, then she took off naked and held him in her arms, covering him with two clothes. The child's body was scalded like a Powerful electric heater.

The star-studded sky above is like a net that looks far away but seems near. After looking at it for a long time, it seems that you are going to be sucked in. You can hear the sound of the river rushing and the continuous insects. It is not spent in such a symphony. Soon weary and fell into a dream.

Far away in Zhongzhou.

Only one candle was lit in the large and beautifully furnished room, and the curtain hanging in the center of the room obscured the people behind the writing desk. In the flickering light of the fire, there were shadows in the room.

"How are things going?"

"Report to the master, since Xiangcun, that thing seems to have lost its trace..."

"Trash! A large group of people chase after so many and still lose things! What do I raise you bastards for?"

"Owner……"

"I don't care what method you use, you must find it for me, otherwise, I've spent so much effort to destroy the Li family and it's just asking for trouble! Find it, find it for me!!!"

"Yes, Master!"

The man kneeling on the ground went out and sat behind the table
