Yu Ye fell into the snow and raised his head in panic.
On the hillside, there is a high tomb, which must have been piled up recently. The exposed loess is mixed with white snow, which looks particularly desolate. Several other women and children were wandering in front of the grave, their intermittent cries filled with despair and sadness.
"That is--"
"Those are the third grandfather, third uncle, my father and Yu Baoshan, more than thirty people. They were all burned to ashes. It's hard to tell who is who. They can only be buried in one place like this!"
"ah……"
Yu Ye was stunned and lost his voice.
There are only more than thirty strong men in Yujia Village. In other words, all the people who went hunting in Lingjiao Valley died?
Yu Ergou continued to roar: "If you hadn't run out of the ancestral hall and hid, how could my father, uncles and brothers have died tragically?"
"I ran out of the ancestral hall...?"
Yu Ye seemed to be falling into the clouds, and said nonchalantly: "You mean... the night when I returned from Lingjiao Valley? Uncle Qiu took me out to heal my wounds. Until I came down the mountain today, I have no idea what happened in the village!"
"Jiub?"
Yu Ergou stared at Yu Ye, his eyes red and frightening, but he turned his head and looked away, leaving two lines of tears on his dark face. He knew that Yu Ye had not lied to him. If it had not been for Qiu Bo's treatment, Yu Ye's injury would not have healed so quickly.
Yu Ye asked anxiously: "How did the third grandfather, third uncle, and fifth uncle die?"
Yu Ergou couldn't bear it anymore, squatted on the ground, held his head in his hands, and said with a cry: "On the night when we returned from Lingjiao Valley, Baoshan and I went to the ancestral hall to accompany you, but you were not in the backyard. I went out to check and met two thieves who invaded the ancestral hall. I was afraid that Baoshan and I couldn't deal with the thieves, so I went to the village to find help. I was also afraid that my father would scold me for lying, so I hid outside the hospital afterwards..."
Yu Ye stood up slowly, looking stupid.
At this moment, every word Yu Ergou said was like a knife piercing his heart.
"Two thieves came for you, but when they didn't find you, they beat Baoshan and forced him to tell you your whereabouts. I don't know where you went, and how did Baoshan know. The thieves were angry and chopped Baoshan to death... ...His head flew several feet away, and blood spurted all over the floor... The third grandfather was frightened and passed out on the spot. How could the third uncle and my father be willing to give up, but they could not stop the thief's sword. Third uncle More than a dozen people, old and young, were killed. I hid in a dry well outside the courtyard and managed to survive. Who would have thought that the thieves set fire to the ancestral hall and left not a single corpse..."
Yu Ergou continued to cry: "The orphans and widows in the village hate you for inviting thieves and demolishing your house. I can't stop you..."
Yu Ye's eyes turned black and he felt dizzy.
He seemed to have witnessed with his own eyes the scene of massacre and the blood on the ground. Those uncles and brothers had never caused any trouble, but they all died tragically in the ancestral hall because of his wild behavior.
At this time, another white-haired old woman walked towards the grave mound, beating her chest and stamping her feet. She was already mourning silently before she reached the grave.
"Who is the thief?"
"Let's go!"
"Ergou, do you recognize the thief?"
Yu Ergou wiped away his tears, waved his hand and said: "You go, the farther you go, the better!"
Yu Ye trembled his lips and asked again: "Is it Chenqi?"
"So what?"
Yu Ergou jumped up and shouted: "He is a master of Taoism. How dare you seek revenge from him? You'd better leave quickly and don't let Yujiacun suffer any more disasters with you!"
Yu Ye shook his head, looking bitter.
Although he had already guessed, he still couldn't believe it.
In order to snatch the Jiao Dan, Chen Qi chased him to Yujiacun. It must be that the people in the village knew his origins, so he killed people and silenced them and washed away the ancestral hall with blood. If he had not left the ancestral hall in the wild, he would have died in the end.
It was Qiub who saved him!
"Where's Job?"
"Didn't you say that Qiub took you up the mountain to heal your wounds?"
Qiub didn't return to the village?
"You should leave quickly, otherwise it will be difficult for the village to live in peace!"
"Ergou, do you think it was me who caused trouble to the village?"
"..."
"..."
Yu Ergou turned his back.
Yu Ye was also speechless.
A pair of teenagers, once good brothers, suddenly became strangers after experiencing a disaster.
However, Yu Ye knew that no matter what Yu Ergou said or how he treated him, he was unable to defend himself and had no shame to excuse himself. It’s just that Chen Qi has killed so many people, so he will definitely not let him go. In order to avoid disturbing the women, children and children in the village, he had no choice but to leave Yujiacun.
"I am leaving--"
Yu Ye was silent for a moment and said goodbye with difficulty.
Instead of leaving, he climbed up the hillside and knelt down in front of the tall grave mound. Buried in the grave were the mutilated remains of his elders and brothers. He kowtowed heavily, not noticing even if there were blood streaks on his forehead. He regretted that he had swallowed the dragon pill and caused a huge disaster, and was even more angry with Chen Qi for his greed and indiscriminate killing of innocent people. Now he can only go on the road carrying hatred and guilt, but he doesn't know where he is going.
Yu Ye kowtowed dozens of times, then staggered out of the village. On the way, he met women and children in the village. He lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at them. His shabby clothes, face covered in blood, and haggard expression made his downcast figure even more panicked and embarrassed.
Leaving the village, we reach the entrance of Xingyuan Valley.
Dusk falls.
The cold wind swirled.
The sound of sobbing wind is like crying out the sadness of leaving someone. The inexplicable sadness is mixed with a bit of loneliness and despair.
At this moment, someone called -
"Yu Ye..."
Yu Ye slowly stopped.
A familiar figure "hooked, hooted" and chased closer. It turned out to be Yu Ergou, who dropped a roll of packages with a "bang" and gasped: "Keep the wolf-skin mattress to keep out the cold. Pancakes, salt, and fire." Zhezi, for backup on the way. The bamboo stick you left behind seems to have belonged to Qiub. And..."
Yu Ye was stunned for a while, then picked up the package and took the bamboo stick.
"I'll give you this hunting knife too."
Yu Ergou handed over another thing, the hunting knife left to him by his father.
Yu Ye shook his head.
Yu Ergou dropped his hunting knife and turned around to leave.
Yu Ye bit his lip and said in a hoarse voice: "People cannot die in vain. There should be justice in the world!"
Yu Ergou looked up to the sky and sighed, and walked away without looking back.
Yu Ye looked at the retreating figure of Yu Ergou and the Xingyuan Valley shrouded in twilight. He carried the package on his back, picked up the hunting knife, leaned on his bamboo stick, and walked hard through the snow pits step by step.
At midnight.
The bright moon hangs high.
At night, Yu Ye was wrapped in a mattress and lying in a snowdrift.
The cold wind picked up snowflakes and hit his face, but he didn't seem to notice it. He just stared at the lonely moon in the sky silently, but his eyes were covered with a haze. At this time, he seemed to be lost in the loneliness of the night sky, feeling helpless and increasingly confused. After a long time, or maybe because he was sleepy or wanted to sleep, he closed his eyes weakly, couldn't help but turn over and curled up into a ball, and suddenly howled like a wild wolf——
"Ouch..."
When he learned about the misfortune of his tribe, when he knelt in front of the grave on the hillside, when he faced the resentful eyes of the orphans and widowers, he felt guilty and wanted to cry, but he couldn't cry. He wanted to shout, but he didn't dare to speak out. Now he was lying alone in the ice and snow, finally without any scruples, and just wanted to cry to his heart's content to vent his guilt, anger, deep sorrow and helplessness.
His father was buried in Lingjiao Valley, which made him extremely sad. Who would have thought that a dragon pill would cost him half his life. That was fine, but it caused the tragic deaths of my uncles and brothers. Although the disaster was caused by him, wasn't it the blood debt owed by Chen Qi? He originally wanted to say words of revenge, but even Yu Ergou ignored him. Thinking that he has been poisoned and his life is in jeopardy, how can he talk about revenge?
Cry!
The spirits of his parents in heaven will definitely understand his grievances. If there is no justice in the world, someone should do it.
And after crying, he still had to find ways to survive.
…
Lingjiao Town.
The small mountain town is covered with snow. There was not a soul to be seen on the simple streets.
In a stone house outside the town, there were two men talking in a low voice.
"Is the beast pill you said true?"
"Nothing false."
"If that kid has a beast elixir hidden in his body, it must be the treasure of the Qizhou monks!"
"Um!"
"In that case, why not explore Xingyuan Valley again?"
"Brother Gu, you are killing indiscriminately. That boy is so scared that he dare not show his face."
"Chenqi, what do you mean by this? I did not commit the murder alone. Oh, could it be that you swallowed Qizhou's treasures and deceived me into making my last trip in vain?"
The so-called Brother Gu, whose Taoist name is Gu Mu, is a middle-aged strong man who keeps walking around the house. But once the treasure is mentioned, his fierce look suddenly becomes apparent.
When the dust rises, it is Bai Zhi's senior brother. He is still wearing a blue robe, with a faint smile on his fair face. He sat on the wooden couch, shook his head calmly, and said: "I'm not lying to you, but that kid was hiding. Afterwards, I was busy returning to the mountain to return to my life, and I didn't get here until today. What's more, I I’ve found a helper and it won’t be too late to go to Xingyuan Valley tomorrow.”
"Who is the helper? You don't believe me?"
Gu Mu stared, looking wary.
"Haha, we are of the same mind."
"From where?"
"A casual cultivator, he is here——"
The closed door creaked open, and a middle-aged man with a short beard walked in. He was wearing a leather robe and was lean and honest.
Gu Mu took two steps back and said doubtfully: "This is obviously a hunter..."
But before he finished speaking, Gu Mu's expression changed drastically. A ray of sword light went straight towards his lower back, and it was Chen Qi who was sitting on the wooden couch who secretly attacked him unprepared. Just as he was about to turn around and dodge, a bloody hole exploded in his lower abdomen. Then he saw the middle-aged man who looked like an Orion put away a sword light and said with a faint smile: "Qichuan Buyi, send fellow Taoist a ride!"
"Qi... the master of cultivating immortals in Qizhou..."
Gu Mu finally knew the identity of the visitor, but could no longer speak. He staggered back a few steps and fell to the ground with a "plop".
The man who called himself Bu Yi put away his sword light and said with an unchanged smile: "This fellow Taoist is right. Qizhou has also been called Qichuan since ancient times."
Chen Qi jumped off the wooden couch and said with surprise: "Brother Bu's cultivation is advanced and admirable!" He picked a jade ring from Gu Mu's hand and said respectfully: "Brother Bu got this thing, I don't dare to have it." Unreasonable thoughts!"
Bu Yi took the ring and inspected it for a moment, shook his head and said: "This man doesn't have the immortal things you mentioned, why do you want me to help you kill him?"
"this……"
Chen Qi thought about it for a moment and said cautiously: "We have some clues about the Immortal Sect's objects. More than ten days ago, my younger brother and Gu Mu went to Xingyuan Valley to search, but he killed dozens of hunters, and the Immortal Sect's treasures were also missing. . According to my guess, he must be hiding something secretly. Fortunately, Brother Bu helped me, but who would have expected..."
"Well, you are cautious!"
Bu Yi praised him, turned around and walked out of the house, and said: "You are a local, so you can do things easily. Please pay more attention, and you will be rewarded in the future!"
"My little brother will definitely serve you!"
Chen Qi turned around and looked at the dead bodies on the ground, with a sneer on his lips...
