big brother wait for me

Chapter 40: Blood Tree

?Nan Shun walked back with a lot of worries along the way. Heng Er was standing quietly in front of him. Fu Que's shout was heard not far away. The stone next to the trunk well concealed the other party's sight.

Fu Que ran, calling Nan Shun's name loudly, and Nan Shun looked at her with gentle eyes and a smile.The trees on both sides retreated swiftly,

Fu Que's shouts carried her usual savagery and self-willedness, but it was the only comfort Nan Shun could feel at the moment.The dead leaves were still falling in groups, and the leaves all over the ground were thickly piled up, like heavy snow in winter, making it impossible to see clearly what was under their feet.

The scenery that you enter is full of haggardness, desolate but not at all bleak, just because of the arrival of this eccentric girl like sunshine.She ran, panting, and said: "Nan Shun, you are so fast—ah!!" Under the cover of fallen leaves, there were stones, and the speed was parallel to the stumbling. She closed her eyes, but she was supported by her waist. The appropriate external force allowed her to regain her balance without hurting her. The strength was just right.Fu Que opened her eyes, and what caught her eyes was Nan Shun's anxious face and eyes. He looked anxiously to see if she was injured.

Fu Que quickly scanned the surrounding area, Nan Shun smiled and said, "I didn't fall, did I get scared?"

Fu Que said mysteriously: "Huh? Where's the black shadow??? Has that person been caught?"

Nan Shun: "No, he ran away. The methane gas in front was too heavy, so I lost it."

Fu Que patted him hard, and said angrily: "You didn't catch it? He might be the monster here, maybe he can lead us into the mountain smoothly, okay? Your skills have regressed too much, and you just Silly."

Nan Shun knocked on it loudly, and said: "Don't talk nonsense, let me see if your ankle is sprained. Why haven't they come here yet?" As he spoke, he looked over, and all he could see were withered tree trunks, and the sky was full of trees. fallen leaves.

Fu Qu also looked back, "Maybe it's behind, oh, take it easy, it hurts."

Heng'er poked her head out and watched Nan Shun carefully take care of Fu Que's foot injury. The scene and feeling seemed familiar, fearing that the two of them would see her, she quickly shrank back.

"What are you hiding here for?"

Heng'er was startled, and when he turned around, it turned out to be Ling Yue.She lowered her head and said nothing.

Ling Yue followed her line of sight just now, and he saw everything clearly at a glance, and sneered, "What? Are you sad?"

Heng'er bit her lower lip until her lips turned red, "Fu Que is injured, why don't you, senior brother, go and take a look?"

Ling Yue smiled, his eyes were deep, like a vortex that lures people into falling, he approached Heng'er step by step, forcing him to retreat step by step, knowing that his back was clinging to the tree trunk and trapped in the corner, "You What do you want to do again?" Heng'er asked in a deep voice.

Ling Yue didn't answer, but slowly lowered his head and sniffed, "Why do I smell it, it smells like vinegar?"

Heng'er was sullen, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Ling Yue's eyes turned sharp and cold in an instant, and he pinched her chin and forced to look at him, "Your eyes flicker, which means you are uneasy, and your drooping corners of your mouth means you are unhappy, but these are all Just facial expressions are not enough to explain anything, what I want to know is your real thoughts and feelings."

"You let me go—"

Ling Yue roared angrily: "That's not what I asked, I want to know, I think, forget it, let's go out together." As he said that, he took Heng Er's hand and was about to leave, Heng Er struggled desperately, stared at him, firmly Said: "Don't!"

Ling Yue sneered: "Can't accept it? I won't force you if you say so."

"What do you want me to say? I have nothing to say." Heng'er tilted her head, half of her face was hidden in the shadows, making it impossible to tell her emotions, but she felt an inexplicable sense of desolation and heartache.Ling Yue looked at her with pity in his eyes, pity begets love, and love begets pity.He raised his hand and wanted to touch her side face, but he couldn't, "Heng'er, if you haven't tried it, how do you know that things in the world can't be bright?"

The willows are dark and the flowers are bright.In the past, she was just a happy and ignorant girl who thought she could live a peaceful life in my life.But now, the world has changed, her relatives died in vain, and her own life and death are unpredictable. Only then does she realize that she has so much to bear. In these long years, her life will always be dark, and there is a road ahead of countless people. Paved road.Can there be Huaming in her world?She didn't know, she just hoped that the blood would not stain Ling Yue and his relatives, and as long as she could leave a place in his heart, that's enough for her. What she wanted was that simple.

But Lingyue is Lingyue, he always has the ability to make her hope again and again.Heng'er raised her head suddenly, but all she could see was his back.

"What are you going to do?"

Ling Yue sighed slightly, but didn't look back, "Fu Que's foot is injured, and she has difficulty moving. I'll go and see her."

Heng'er nodded, "Then you go, I'll wait for you when I go back." I have something to tell you, very important thing.

Ling Yue looked at her in surprise, her beautiful eyes were shining brightly, at this moment, she seemed to be a little different, her cold eyes were not desolate, only warm, these were the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen, it was a pity that In his whole life, he never had the chance to see him again.

Ling Yue stood aside with his arms folded and watched, while Nan Shun was carefully setting Fu Que's bones, making a creaking sound, and Fu Que yelled loudly in pain.Ling Yue sneered: "You really haven't made any progress at all, you're in a hurry."

Fu Qu curled her lips: "Brother, why are you hurting me for nothing?"

Ling Yue: "That's because what I said is the truth."

Nan Shun smiled, clapped his hands, stood up and said, "Okay, I'll be fine after two days of training," and then turned to Ling Yue: "I have something important to leave, and I'll be back right away when I'm done, I hope you can help me Take good care of Heng Er."

Ling Yue thought for a while, then nodded.

Purple hair hung in front of his forehead, revealing a sadness that didn't fit the world, he smiled lightly, "Qing Ning's curse needs to absorb energy before it fully recovers, so it is necessary to find a body to host first, without a host, everything will be lost." No, be careful, see you later." The body quickly turned into a blue-purple light and fled away.

Fu Que waved in the direction where Nan Shun was going away, and then smiled, "That's great, then we can end Qing Ning's affairs soon, and then we can go home after finding Master Uncle, by the way, why hasn't Heng Er come yet?" ?”

Ling Yue pursed his lips, "Maybe I went back if I didn't find it."

"what--"

A woman's terrified cry came from an inexplicable direction, and Ling Yue felt a chill in his heart, secretly screamed "No", and then rushed over quickly, followed closely by Fu Que.

Ling Yue followed the direction of the sound, and there was a strange-shaped stone standing beside the dry tree trunk, but it was the one that Heng Er was hiding just now. His eyes were deep and no expression could be seen, and there was a faint sound of fighting in front of him. The heavy white mist scattered in all directions, with each wave getting thicker and thicker, and it was impossible to see clearly at all.The white mist on both sides is thick and choking, with a rotten smell. It is the smell of corpses. The ground is covered with bloodstains. Ling Yue bowed his head, and the ground is full of corpses of beasts and birds. It is very disgusting. Something flashed by with the wind , Ling Yue closed his eyes and listened attentively, then jumped high into the air, kicked with his foot horizontally, let out a shrill scream, hit a tree but fled quickly.

Fu Que yelled: "Brother, over there." Then she jumped to catch up.

Ling Yue also followed quickly.

Along the way, the rotten stench became more and more intense and pungent. Fu Que squeezed a stick casually, the strong swamp gas dissipated, and her vision began to become clear. Fu Que walked to a tree, stopped there suddenly, and then turned around. He began to vomit violently.

Ling Yue's face was pale, and there was fine sweat on his forehead. He walked over slowly, and a slender woman fell to the ground, her blood was almost drained, and the strong rotten smell made people sick, and countless maggots wrapped her tightly Her body climbed slowly and finely.

The tree had begun to wither and turn black, and there was a stone half a person's height in front of the tree like the one just now, but the surface of this stone was rougher, and it could be seen that it had been beaten and honed for many years. The stone itself is close to the trunk, and there is a faint green on the side. After careful identification, it is moss.

"Something may have happened to her." Fu Que stared at the corpse under her feet, and said in a daze.

The cold wind hit his face and he regained his senses slightly. He snatched the sword from Fu Que's hand and slashed towards the tree trunk. The snow-white blade rolled with a strong air current that made the whole ground tremble. The stone also shattered into two neat halves, revealing the root of the dead tree that had been hidden all along, the intertwined roots full of vitality, countless dense bright green moss, and the blood-like bright red tree. skin and soil...

People are bitten tightly by the torn tree trunk, watching their bodies slowly dissolve, slowly being swallowed, slowly being tightly wrapped and submerged into a part of it, the roots of the tree are gradually growing, and countless blood From the cracks in the trunks gurgling into the soil under the stones flanked by green moss.

Ling Yue seemed to have seen the terrified expressions of those people before they died. The last one was Heng'er, her brows were furrowed, her eyes were full of lost sadness and uneasiness, but the corners of her mouth were full of stubbornness... It seems that Here, what a troublesome girl, Ling Yue thought: If he can save her this time, he has to watch her carefully, otherwise he will lose his promise to Nan Shun.

"Hey, why are you going?" Fu Que grabbed Ling Yue's clothes tightly, "You don't mean to go in, do you, Heng'er may not be inside."

Ling Yue stared at the tree as if facing an enemy: "I'll find out if it's there, I just hope there's still time."

"Eldest brother——" Fu Que was about to say something, but she was thrown away by a strong force. There was a stench everywhere, but there was no one there, leaving only Lingyue's empty voice, what he said to her The last sentence: take care of yourself and wait for me to come back.Fu Que looked at her empty palm, and when she looked up again, there was only the bright red tree hole in front of her that was torn but was about to heal quickly again. ?
