Gu Ying hurriedly ran out of the hospital with the baby in her arms, only to find that the terrifying living dead villagers outside the hospital had disappeared.
Even Li Nanke, who was trapped in the rope net, was nowhere to be seen.
A faint red mist filled the village silently, and the smell of blood floated in the air.
It's like a sign of the end of the world.
"Li Nanke!"
Gu Ying shouted loudly, but there was no response.
The strange butterfly that took them through time and space danced lightly again.
The beautiful and dreamy butterfly circled around the woman, but did not stop. Instead, it flapped its wings and flew towards the other side of the village.
The butterfly drew a string of brilliant light spots in the sky, seeming to guide Gu Ying.
Hearing Mrs. Bei's mutated roar in the room behind her, which became increasingly frightening, Gu Ying did not dare to stay any longer and quickly followed the butterfly.
The baby girl in her arms was still crying.
When approaching the village, Gu Ying was suddenly blocked by an invisible barrier and could not break through.
The butterfly crossed the barrier and hovered in the air.
One butterfly and one person seem to be separated by two time and space.
"Trapped?"
Gu Ying touched the hard barrier, and her heart sank a little bit.
"Master's wife!"
At this time, Li Nanke appeared in front of her panting, with dense beads of sweat hanging on his cheeks and even his neck.
"where have you been?"
Seeing the man, Gu Ying, who seemed to have a backbone, swept away her panic and confusion, and her beautiful face showed a look of joy.
"I helped you lure away those monsters." Li Nanke put his hands on his knees and panted heavily, "I've been calling you from behind for a long time, why don't you agree."
"I didn't hear it."
Gu Ying shook her head and said strangely.
Li Nanke wanted to complain, but he looked up and saw Yuxue's cute baby girl in the woman's arms, and was stunned for a moment.
Strangely enough, the baby girl stopped crying after Li Nanke appeared, and her big, pure, gem-like eyes looked at the man curiously.
"This is……"
"Qiu'er."
Gu Ying replied with a wry smile, feeling quite weird and complicated inside.
I didn't expect to get to know Luo Qianqiu when she was a baby. This fate is actually strange.
"daughter in law?"
Li Nanke felt very dreamy.
Who could have imagined that one day he would meet his future wife in this way.
He carefully stretched out a finger to play with the baby girl's little hand, but the baby cried loudly again, which scared the man and quickly retracted his hand.
"Don't scare the child."
Gu Ying warned Li Nanke with her eyes.
The man scratched his head and smiled, then changed the subject, "Where is her mother?"
Gu Ying said sadly: "Her mother took a lot of Hongyu and was about to transform into a monster. I was afraid that she would hurt Qiu'er, so I took the child out."
monster?
Li Nanke frowned.
It's so good, why does the mother-in-law take Hongyu?
Gu Ying told what she saw and deduced: "Bei Wenliang killed those people in the village but not her. Mrs. Bei may have been discouraged and became a nun. But because she was pregnant with a child, I can only come back and raise it alone..."
While Li Nanke listened, he couldn't help but stretched out his hand to tease his little wife.
This time the baby didn't cry.
He even stretched out his two chubby little hands to grab the man's cheek, naive yet spiritual.
After Gu Ying finished speaking, Li Nanke guessed: "Is it possible that Mrs. Bei is ill and has been taking Hongyu as medicine?"
According to the timeline, the red rain should have fallen not long ago, and the imperial court had not yet formally established a night patrol department to collect. Therefore, many farmers have red rain hidden in their homes.
At this time, the common people did not really realize the dangers of red rain and regarded it as medicine.
Gu Ying shook her jade head gently, "I don't know either. I only know that Qiu'er will definitely be in danger if she continues to stay there. However, we can't leave this village now."
Li Nanke looked puzzled, "Can't leave?"
Gu Ying was about to explain, but she was stunned when she saw that half of Li Nanke's body had passed through the barrier unintentionally.
She tried to move forward, but was blocked and unable to move forward at all.
Why is this guy the only one who can get there?
Gu Ying was annoyed and confused.
"Is there a barrier here?"
Li Nanke reacted belatedly and used his "clairvoyance" power to observe his surroundings. Sure enough, he saw a thin light blue barrier, wrapping the entire village inside.
Why can't I feel it?
Could it be because I have red rain energy in my body?
He looked at the baby, his deep eyes flashed slightly, and he suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the baby."
Gu Ying hesitated and handed over the baby.
Li Nanke carefully held the child in his arms, as if holding a fragile and exquisite work of art, and slowly leaned his body towards the barrier.
Sure enough, this time he was blocked.
Gu Ying walked over easily.
Now the two of them understood that as long as they held the baby, they could not leave the village unless they left the baby here.
"It looks like she's destined to stay here."
Li Nanke gently stroked the baby's tender cheeks, not surprised by this situation.
After all, if the baby version of his wife is taken away now, then the timeline will be completely messed up, and their marriage may be ruined.
The butterfly effect is no joke.
"But the village is so dangerous now. If Qiu'er is left here, it is very likely..." Gu Ying's beautiful eyes were worried and she did not dare to take risks.
Li Nanke also had a headache.
Who knows what happened to this village.
Recalling what Gu Ying had just said, Li Nanke's eyes moved and he said, "Maybe Bei Wenliang is still in this village."
After all, his wife Luo Qianqiu was raised by her father since she was a child.
According to the normal timeline, Bei Wenliang should appear next.
While thinking, a scream suddenly came from the distance.
Immediately afterwards, a man in black clothes was seen running staggeringly, with more than a dozen living dead villagers chasing behind him.
Li Nanke was startled, turned to Gu Ying and said, "Get out first!"
"No, get out! My cultivation is stronger than yours, and I can protect the child well."
Gu Ying wanted to snatch the child in Li Nanke's arms, but was stopped by the man.
The baby was also frightened by the sudden change in the atmosphere. His mouth tightened and he cried "Wow". The cry once again attracted the living dead.
"Go away!" the man shouted.
"I do not go!"
Gu Ying is still very stubborn.
She would not leave Li Nanke and her children and put them in danger.
"What the hell, pig brain!" Li Nanke secretly scolded the woman for being stupid. He had no choice but to find a way to lead the woman to avoid danger first.
The man who originally ran away also ran over now.
The man was burly, wearing a metal ghost mask, and his body was stained with thick blood. The blade in his hand even had a lot of broken teeth.
At first, Li Nanke mistakenly thought that the other party was Bei Wenliang, but as the figure approached, he realized that it was not the same.
"Press the button!!"
the ghost-faced man shouted.
What?
Li Nanke and Gu Ying looked at each other with confusion.
Uh-huh!
The man suddenly threw the big knife in his hand.
The two people retreated hurriedly, and the big knife drew a silver parabola and stuck directly into a dark brown stone next to the barrier.
Just hearing a roar, a secret passage appeared on the ground.
"Get in!"
The man yelled and rushed towards the secret passage.
The living dead villagers behind them seemed to be possessed by cheetahs, and they pursued them very fast.
"Enter!"
Li Nanke made a prompt decision and led Gu Ying into the secret passage.
Below is an empty stone chamber.
As the ghost-faced man swept into the secret passage, the solid stone door above instantly closed, blocking out the living dead villagers.
The crisis was temporarily lifted, and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ahem..."
The seriously injured ghost-faced man slowly slumped in the corner, coughing uncontrollably, and blood overflowed from the bottom of his mask.
He took out a bottle of healing elixir from his arms.
When the man took off his mask, Li Nanke could see his face clearly, and his eyes widened.
This face was familiar to him.
I once saw it in the illusion of Hongyu Hecun.
It’s Father Meng!
Meng Xiaotu's father.
Compared with his appearance in Hecun, Meng's father was younger at this time.
Li Nanke's mind turned quickly, and he thought back to the scene when he saw Meng's father kneel down and worship Bei Wenliang in Hecun, and he made a general guess.
Meng's father used to be Bei Wenliang's subordinate.
Later, for unknown reasons, he went to Hecun to marry Mother Meng, the "God of Red Rain", and lived in seclusion, giving birth to Meng Xiaotu.
"Both of Bei Wenliang's wives were infected by the red rain, and Meng's father's wife is the god of red rain... What on earth are these people doing?"
Li Nanke's thoughts were in a mess.
