The sun is passing away, the blood moon is approaching, the days are getting shorter, and the nights are getting longer.
Before Xu hour, the sky had already darkened, and twilight flooded Taiping Town.
Li Ye inspected the pig pen as usual.
After separating the two crawling boars, he checked the condition of several sows in the third trimester of pregnancy to confirm that the fetal movements were normal, and then returned to the shepherd's lounge exhausted.
Night fell and darkness enveloped the land.
A blood moon in the sky is as big as a jade plate, and it sheds wisps of blood-colored moonlight. The Taiping Town it reflects is like a bloody hell, gloomy, adding a bit of terror and weirdness.
The streets were deserted, there were no pedestrians, and no sound of the clock could be heard.
Since the death of Widow He, there have been no wild men climbing over the wall every night, her dogs have stopped barking, and the dogs in Taiping Town can no longer hear the sound.
Especially tonight, there was no barking at all.
The west courtyard of Su Mansion, Jiazi No. Zhuyuan.
In the captain's lounge, Li Ye stood in front of the window and looked at the night, frowning and saying to himself: "Tonight is a bit too quiet."
Just as he was talking, a shrill scream suddenly pierced the silence of the night.
Then, screams were heard from all directions in Taiping Town.
It makes one's scalp numb, as if there is a terrifying existence harvesting life and attacking all souls.
The screams became clearer and clearer.
It sounded from several directions, but gradually approached the Demon Slayer Su family.
From the west direction, there was also a sound approaching, howling in the wind, the tree tops rustling, and at the same time, there were bursts of "嘤嘤嘤嘤" sounds.
The blood moon is in the sky.
The sound was strange and terrifying.
Li Ye's expression changed, and he hurriedly closed the doors and windows. He put the castration knife into his arms, opened the bed, and twisted the mechanism, revealing a dark hole in the ground.
His body slipped and he got in as quickly as an eel.
The hole is three to five square meters in size, and it is covered with a layer of wooden boards, seemingly to prevent moisture. When the wooden boards are lifted, there is another underground hole underneath.
Li Ye slid in like an eel again.
The hole above was dug by Lao Wang, and the hole below was dug by him when he was promoted to shepherd chief. When Lao Wang was alive, he often said that when people are wandering in the world, there will always be times when the horse stumbles.
There's no harm in digging a few more holes.
Sure enough, I put it to use tonight.
In the pig yard, something sneaked in. The pigs in the pig pen screamed in fear and ran around. The iron fences were banging against each other, making a loud sound.
The little pigherd on the night shift was awakened and had little experience in the field. He walked out of the yard to check, but he let out a scream, and then became completely silent.
"Little brother, where are you? Come and play, 嘤嘤嘤~"
Weird laughter echoed in the pig yard, and the gloomy energy surged.
In the cave, Li Ye was horrified.
This sound was clearly the strange sound in Sanli Alley, and the tragedy in Sanli Alley was related to it.
I didn't expect it to come to the west courtyard of Su Mansion tonight.
It wanders around the yard.
Several swineherds' dormitories were broken open, and there was a burst of frightened screams inside, and then it became quiet again, and there was a dead silence.
Only the smell of blood is getting stronger and stronger.
"Da da da"
Like the soles of shoes stepping on the ground, he gradually approached Li Ye's room.
The door clicked open automatically, and the sound was particularly harsh and scary in the silent night.
That thing came in.
Along with a cold wind, the oil lamp on the table was blown out, and the room suddenly became dark. The bloody moonlight slanted from the door to the ground, reflecting a strange puppet.
His face was stained with blood and his eyes were sinister. He walked on the floor and made the sound of the soles of his shoes scraping the ground.
Weird and scary.
In the cave, Li Ye held his breath, holding the castration knife in his hand and did not dare to move.
The ground in the room made noises, and the strange puppet walked around, as if looking for something. Finally, the sound became fainter and fainter, and gradually became inaudible, as if it had left.
The surrounding area became quiet.
Everything seems to be back to normal.
After an unknown amount of time, Huang An's voice sounded outside, calling for Li Ye.
Li Ye heard the voice of an acquaintance and breathed a sigh of relief. He quietly opened the wooden board above his head and drilled his head out of the hole.
At this moment, a strange and joyful voice suddenly sounded above the head...
"Finally found you, 嘤嘤嘤..."
What came into view was a puppet with blood on its face.
There was no Huang An, but it was pretending to be insidious and cunning. Its eyes glowed with an eerie red light. It looked at Li Ye greedily and rushed over in a flash.
The fishy wind blows against my face.
Li Ye picked up the castration knife and stabbed it out. The blade missed, and the puppet screamed and approached.
Li Ye was shocked. He slipped out of the hole as nimbly as an eel and rushed outside.
in the yard,
The corpses of several pigherders were separated and hung on the wall in tragic death. Their blood dyed the courtyard wall red. There were also several mummified corpses whose life and blood had been devoured and left at the entrance of the courtyard.
The pig fence has been broken and the pigs are running wild.
In the panic, a little piglet ran to Li Ye's feet, seeming to regard Li Ye as his mother, and crossed its legs to seek shelter. Li Ye grabbed its hind trotters, and with a "hoo", he swung the windmill towards the back. The chasing puppet smashed him over.
It met the weird and gloomy puppet and instantly turned into a mummy.
All his energy and blood were swallowed up by the puppet.
Only a piece of pig skin and bones with hair on it fell to the ground.
"Uh-huh, hiccup~"
The puppet burped, swayed slightly, and slowed down a bit.
"Throwing a pig works!"
Seeing this, Li Ye grabbed a piglet again and threw it over.
While throwing piglets to slow down the opponent, he ran into the front yard and shouted for help.
"How dare you come to our Su family to cause trouble and seek death——!"
From the direction of the front yard, someone heard the sound and came.
Under the blood moon, the opponent's body was like lightning, rushing from the roof, rolling up the roof tiles and flying and exploding, like a tornado.
This is a woman in white, with a "wolf head" pattern embroidered on her sleeves.
"The members of the Su family who eliminate demons."
Li Ye's eyes narrowed and his eyes were fixed on the wolf head icon.
This is the logo of the Su family.
Li Ye had met members of the Demon Slayer Su family several times, but he had never seen this one before him.
But looking at his extraordinary demeanor, he is by no means an ordinary tribesman.
Wearing a white gauze face and a white robe, she seems to be young. She may be in her prime of life, but her body has not yet opened up, and Xiaohe has just revealed her sharp horns.
But.
She is fierce!
Holding a white snake sword, he jumped from the roof and stood in front of the puppet. The aura on his body was cold and chilling.
"Use blood to eliminate demons, sword to control nine directions"
The woman in white had a delicate voice, and she took action the moment she saw the puppet. She bit the tip of her tongue and spurted a mouthful of blood onto the white snake sword.
This blood is green and dances with flames.
It's completely different from ordinary people's red blood.
Green blood adhered to the white snake sword, and when the sword was slashed out, the green sword light was like a streak, exuding a terrifying and unpredictable aura.
Boom~
The yard exploded, and a crack more than one foot long appeared.
Green blood splattered on the blade.
One of the drops fell on the stone roller in the corner, like poison or sulfuric acid.
The stone roller made a "sizzling" sound, bursts of pungent green smoke emitted, and a large area was instantly corroded.
Li Ye took a breath of cold air when he saw it.
This is the power of the Demon Slayer's bloodline.
Their blood is different from the red blood of ordinary people. It is inherently mysterious, ancient and powerful. Every drop of blood has such lethality, which shows how terrifying the demon slayers are.
The puppet was slashed by the sword, surrounded by green blood mist, and was violently corroded, before it fled miserably.
The woman in white hesitated for a moment, but did not pursue her.
Look back.
The hair with bangs in front of her forehead dances.
Her beautiful eyes looked at the pig skins on the ground in the yard. There were at least a dozen of them, and she frowned when she saw a piglet that was holding a pig leg and squealing wildly in Li Ye's hand.
Her eyes were cold and suspicious.
Li Ye quickly saluted the woman and said, "Thank you, sir, for saving my life!"
At the same time, he picked up the little piglet that he was holding upside down and put it in his arms. He also lifted its butt and sat upright on his arm. He touched the pig's head and said to the woman seriously:
"I am Li Ye, the pig herdsman of Jiaziyuan. That puppet was extremely vicious and came to the piggyuan to slaughter the piglets. I protected Lili to the death."
He pointed to the little piglet in his arms.
Serious.
With rich experience in castrating pigs, Li Ye could tell by the smell that the lucky piglet in his arms was a sow.
He named her Lili without any hesitation.
"Lili?! Its name is Lili..."
The woman in white murmured softly, wearing a veil and her expression was invisible.
She arrived late just now and didn't see Li Ye brutally throwing himself into the pig.
His eyes were staring at Li Ye's eyes, as if he was debating whether Li Ye's words were true or false, but Li Ye was an old man. He immediately looked at his nose and nose, and cleared his mind and distracting thoughts. His eyes were full of sincerity, as pure as water.
Seeing this, the woman in white thought that most of what Li Ye said was true. She nodded with satisfaction and said, "If all the servants of my Su family are like this, and all the pigherders are so loyal and brave, why should they be afraid of the little animals everywhere, and why should they worry about insufficient food and blood."
"Your name is Li Ye, very good!"
She was obviously young, but she imitated an adult and praised Li Ye in an old-fashioned way. She also reached out to pat Li Ye's shoulder, but because she was not as tall as Li Ye, she couldn't reach him for a long time.
Li Ye hurriedly bowed slightly, allowing her to pat him on the shoulder smoothly.
"Yes, you are indeed very intelligent. Being a swineherd is a waste of your talent!"
The woman in white smiles, her eyelashes trembling. She looks cute, but is actually cold and heartless.
Because the floor of the yard was filled with the mummies of the pigherders, and the bloody corpses were hanging on the walls, she turned a blind eye from beginning to end and only cared about the survival of the piglets.
Li Ye did not dare to neglect.
He quickly raised his fists to his chest, stood up tall and said, "Thank you for the compliment, sir. I am a brick in the Su family. I can move it wherever it is needed!"
His voice was so loud that it frightened the pig pen that had just calmed down into a commotion.
The woman in white raised her brows, glanced at Li Ye a little longer, jumped onto the roof, stirred up a tornado again, and disappeared into the night.
In the distance, a voice came...
"A friend of mine is named Lili, let's change the name of the piggy!"
Li Ye hurriedly shouted: "Please give me a name!"
"Just call...Beibei..."
