When Li Huowang came out of the well, Li Huowang was suddenly stunned. Why was it dark again?
He looked up at the sky and found that the sun in the sky had become more incomplete, and now only its outline was left eroded by the black.
Suddenly, Li Huowang felt something sight from that far away. His mouth opened involuntarily, and he began to make a coughing sound, and then turned into a crane. "Yu'er Shen!"
Li Huowang, who was tense all over, pulled out his spine sword and swung it hard, getting in at an extremely fast speed. When he returned to the beam, Li Huowang had time to put his dislocated jaw back into place.
Li Huowang, who was covered in cold sweat, still didn't understand what was happening. The natural disaster in Daqi was about to begin again.
The last natural disaster lasted for so long, Li Huowang didn't know whether this time's natural disaster would kill all the remaining survivors.
Li Huowang remembered what Zhuge Yuan had said to him, and he sighed deeply. He clenched his fist and hit the tree trunk in front of him hard.
Immediately afterwards, he turned around and walked towards the place where he had thrown the little emperor of Da Qi out. He wanted to find the little emperor!
Li Huowang rode a horse and returned to the position where he had cut the slit as quickly as possible. Last time, he just casually asked Li Sui and didn't pay too much attention.
Now this time, Li Huowang began to search the forest carefully, not missing any trace.
But what surprised him was that with his keen senses, he still found nothing.
"That shouldn't be the case. The Emperor of Da Qi bled so much even though he was stabbed by me. Even if he was picked up by a wild beast, there would be no trace of blood left behind."
Just when Li Huowang started to expand the search area, the shallow footprints shocked him.
Daqi could be destroyed at any time, and he had no time to delay. Li Huowang immediately followed the shallow footprints.
Li Huowang's keen sense is also good at tracking. As the footprints become clearer and clearer, Li Huowang's hand is already on the hilt of the sword.
Soon Li Huowang saw a half-ricket figure in the bushes. Judging from the gray hair on his head, he should be an old man.
At this moment, the cat was there, as motionless as a sculpture. Such strange behavior made Li Huowang wary.
Li Huowang pulled out his copper coin sword and swung it hard at the other side. The copper coins that instantly grew longer cut off the old man's braided hair.
"Oh, mom!" The old man trembled and fell to the ground.
"A living person?" Li Huowang grasped the hilt of the sword and quickly stepped forward. He found that this person was not some weird and evil person, but just an ordinary old man who was so scared that he wet his pants.
"Great Immortal, have mercy on me, Great Immortal, have mercy on me!" The old man didn't even look at Li Huowang's appearance. He lay on the ground and kept knocking at Li Huowang.
"Get up!" Li Huowang pressed his sword on his shoulder. "Let me ask you, have you picked up a baby during this time today?"
"What? Baby? I came to the forest to catch ginseng! What a baby!"
"Ginseng? What ginseng?"
Seeing the man tremblingly pointing forward, Li Huowang took a few steps forward and looked in through the bushes, but he didn't find any ginseng. He only saw a small pit and some red ginseng with bells tied on it.
Rope.
"Where's ginseng?"
"Well...you scared away the ginseng. I've been squatting here for half a year. If I catch it and sell it in the city..." the old man said with great grievance.
p>
"This is all a mess. Let me ask you, are you familiar with this area?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" The old man nodded his head desperately, as if if he slowed down, the sword in Li Huowang's hand would be chopped off.
"Besides you, has anyone else come over recently?"
"I don't know, but only people from our village will come to this place."
"Could it be that people in this village picked up Emperor Da Qi?"
Li Huowang recalled that the Daqi Emperor, who was only the size of a palm and had almost transparent skin, looked like he had left on his own.
"Let's go! Take me to your village!"
Naturally, the old man couldn't refuse and walked out of the forest with Li Huowang.
However, the further he walked, the more familiar he felt to Li Huowang. This village seemed to be the place where he last exchanged a jade pendant for a horse.
As soon as he reached the end of the village, Li Huowang saw a child who looked to be eleven or twelve years old, who had been stripped naked and hung above a willow tree. He was beaten with willow sticks until his whole body was covered with swollen red spots, and his nose was dripping with tears.
It looks particularly pitiful to see ghosts crying and wolf howling.
Some villagers formed a circle and pointed inside, showing no intention to stop them.
"Oh! That's my grandson! What's wrong?"
The old man next to Li Huowang panicked for a moment, ran over quickly, and stretched out his hand to stop the slapping bearded man. "Son! You are crazy! You want to slap your own son to death like this!"
"I wish I could beat him to death and have another one! Do you know what this bitch did? He went to his own well to poop in three days!"
"What!?" The old man snatched the wicker from the bearded man's hand and whipped his grandson like a top.
Li Huowang looked at the people watching the theater around him. After thinking about it, he jumped directly to the willow tree in a few steps and said, "Everyone! My sister was born prematurely not long ago! I wanted to bury her farther away, so I buried her in the woods to the east.
!But Yang Banxian said, my little nephew is still alive!!"
"So my sister sent me to find my little nephew. If anyone can help me find my little nephew, I will offer ten taels of gold to express my gratitude!"
Li Huowang's words instantly caused a buzz among the theatergoers around him. Even the old man didn't even bother to slap his grandson, and started whispering with his son.
Li Huowang's eyes moved rapidly, observing everyone's subtle expressions and the various emotions and sufferings that could be seen everywhere on their bodies.
Li Huowang did not plan to find the Emperor of Da Qi by offering a reward, but by relying on his own magical power of sitting and forgetting.
These people are ordinary people. If one of them found the Emperor of Da Qi at this moment, his demeanor would definitely appear strange.
But what disappointed Li Huowang was that after looking around, he didn't find any traces. It seemed that these people had not found the Emperor of Da Qi.
"Hey, if you throw the doll in the forest, I'm afraid it will be picked up by jackals."
"Yeah, you can't find this anywhere."
"This Taoist is quite humane. He has become a monk, but he still cares about his family members."
"Hey! Is this the man who robbed Song Yuanwai's horse? I heard he was also a Taoist priest in red."
Listening to their words, the disappointment on Li Huowang's face became deeper and deeper. It seemed that no one here had ever seen the Emperor of Da Qi.
"Hey~ maybe some kind-hearted person picked him up. Some people can't ask for a son. Some people have sons and throw them away. Let's say it was more than thirty years ago..."
When they heard an old man smoking a hookah in the crowd begin to recite the Chelulu dialect that he had said countless times, people around him all moved away.
"Why didn't anyone listen? It was said that it was New Year's Eve more than thirty years ago. Old Yantou from the east of the village really picked up a bloody little baby from the forest. It was like a skinned monkey, and the chest was still there.
It was open. At that time, we all advised Lao Yantou to find a place to bury it, in case he died and became a ghost, but the result was..."
