Chapter Three Hundred and Thirteen Seven Days Later in the Valley of Stillness
Seven days have passed, and everything is quiet in Kongsang Mountain. Even the barbarian city, which was more lively in the past, looks a bit desolate and dilapidated.
The treasure hunt a few days ago caused many fights and changes. The Evil Tiger Gang, which was originally arrogant in the city, has undoubtedly come to an end with the death of gang leader Liang Heihu and the loss of Liang Hao's cultivation. A large number of gang members Some have quit the Evil Tiger Gang, and some even want to return to the Evil Tiger Gang and continue to manage Barbarian City.
If everything develops according to the normal track, the situation in Barbarian City will undoubtedly have only two endings... One is that a certain Yin-Yang ninth level warrior with high cultivation level in the Evil Tiger Gang raised his arms and regained power. The other is that in Barbarian City The small gangs that had been suppressed by the Evil Tiger Gang in the past came together to attack, thereby eliminating the Evil Tiger Gang's rule over Barbarian City.
However, with the coming of a shocking news, the third ending of Barbarian City was created...
"What? Daqian Kingdom's Yumen Pass has activated the highest level of military defense, while Motie Kingdom's army is stationed outside Tianliang County and is ready to move? Doesn't this mean..."
"There is no mistake, there is going to be a war. And our barbarian city is located in the gap between the two kingdoms. Once a war breaks out, we will definitely suffer..."
"Then what are you waiting for? Run away! Escape from the barbarian city..."
For this reason, there were not too many local residents in the city who began to evacuate the barbarian city... No, this statement is not correct, because he is not a resident, but as early as more than ten years, decades , even refugees and refugees who lost their homes and the protection of the kingdom a hundred years ago.
This time, they will move east, and they will climb over many mountains and enter the Shuiyue Dynasty. If they are not eaten by ferocious beasts on the way, and fail to be taken in by the Shuiyue Dynasty, then they will have to go further. road, just to find a home for survival...
Of course, those who choose to migrate are only some of the people in Barbarian City, or they are warriors with certain cultivation talents and at least the Xuanling realm. These people are ordinary members of the Evil Tiger Gang in the past, members of some small gangs. , and even some bandits who have not yet become capable of robbing homes.
The remaining old, weak, sick and disabled people chose to stay in Kongsang Mountain. Because with their ability to survive, climbing over the mountains that are not full of ferocious beasts is tantamount to courting death. What's more, it is already September. In the middle of the year, winter is about to enter. The severe cold in the northwest region is undoubtedly very cold...cold enough to freeze to death ordinary people who trek outside.
And more importantly, they may not really die if they stay in Kongsang Mountain. If some of them are old enough and know enough things, they will always remember the history of Barbarian City in just a hundred years. And the refugee village hidden deep in the mountains, almost forgotten...
There was deathly silence in Luoji Valley. Hundreds of corpses had begun to rot in the rain and the sun. The unpleasant stench attracted several vultures circling in the sky to come to eat. Their hard beaks Easily breaking open the carrion and then swallowing it calmly, the vultures' movements are so skillful and natural, as if they represent a kind of heavenly principle...
The once arrogant human warriors, even those in the True Martial Realm, have no ability to resist at this moment, and sadly and ridiculously become food for vultures...
"The way of heaven is vast, and everything has its end. If everything is used to its full potential, who will be spared?" At some point, a middle-aged man in coarse cloth and a straw hat came to the pile of corpses.
Judging from his appearance and dress, he should be the most ordinary, even the lowest-status farmer on the mainland. But a middle-aged man who seems to be a farmer bluntly talks about the way of heaven. This seems to be more or less...
A little weird.
Suddenly, not far from the pile of corpses, a 'corpse' that had been lying for seven days and seven nights but had never rotted moved and slowly opened its eyes.
She was a woman with a hint of coldness between her brows, and her red clothes had been dyed black by coagulated blood. She was the one who was seriously injured and nearly died after being punched by a king-level puppet, but she did not die in the end.
Luo Hongxiu.
Luo Hongxiu did not stand up, but just lay on the ground silently. Although she had temporarily woken up at this time, she might fall into coma again soon, and then never wake up again, becoming food for vultures.
..Because she was so weak at this time, even standing up and leaving here seemed extremely difficult.
"You're not dead yet." Not far away, a middle-aged farmer came over with a smile.
According to common sense, Luo Hongxiu should be excited at this time, because there is a middle-aged farmer here, which means that she may be saved, as long as the middle-aged farmer takes her away and provides her with a safe and comfortable place.
As a foundation, the injury should be able to recover slowly even without the help of medicine.
But Luo Hongxiu remained silent and did not speak. He had no intention of asking for help, and there was no sparkle in his eyes.
Because she is a person who is very indifferent to life, so indifferent that she has no pity for her own life. Because in her own opinion, from the moment she was abandoned on that rainy night more than ten years ago, she was
She should be dead. At least from that moment on, her heart was dead.
And the reason why she lived for more than ten years was just because of her hatred! He hated the world, and he hated men even more... Just at this moment, when she watched the middle-aged farmer approaching her step by step, her heart
A kind of hatred arose almost instinctively.
The middle-aged farmer was still laughing. He slowly stretched out a hand, as if he wanted to pull Luo Hongxiu up. But Luo Hongxiu stared and quietly pulled out a broken sword fragment from his shoulder, using
With the last trace of spiritual power left in his body, he stabbed towards the middle-aged farmer.
The middle-aged farmer seemed to have noticed something, but he did not retract his hand, but instead reached towards Luo Hongxiu at a faster speed...
The bright red blood flowed down the middle-aged farmer's strong arms and slowly dripped on Luo Hongxiu's face. Luo Hongxiu's eyes suddenly widened even more, as if she saw something she had never thought of in her life.
picture.
The sword blade she hid on her fingertips failed to stab the middle-aged farmer. The reason why the middle-aged farmer's arm was bleeding was because a vulture tore the middle-aged farmer's arm with its hard beak.
A piece of meat... Obviously, the vulture should have originally targeted herself, and the middle-aged farmer helped her block the vulture's attack.
"He... wants to protect me?" Luo Hongxiu was moved in her heart, her face was hot, it was the temperature of blood. Over the years, I don't know how much blood has been sprayed on her body, but for the first time, she knew that it turned out that
The temperature of blood can be so hot and boiling.
That kind of temperature seemed to flow along her body and into her heart, trying to melt the ice in her heart.
"Could this be what it feels like to be protected?" Luo Hongxiu thought silently. This was a feeling she had never had in more than ten years. She had never used words similar to protection, let alone expected that one day.
Will be protected by others.
Yes, this is indeed an extravagant hope. Because she has always felt that she was abandoned by men, abandoned by her family and kingdom, and even more so by the whole world! Even on another rainy night a few days ago,
Luo Zi also abandoned her! That’s why she hated the world and the happiness of others so much that she even ignored life!
For more than ten years, the only thought that kept her alive was to take revenge on the world and destroy the happiness of others! But she never thought that one day she would be protected by someone else. And that person looked extremely weak,
A very ordinary middle-aged farmer.
"Damn it, these vultures are getting bolder and bolder. They even attack living people. It's really unjust." The middle-aged farmer said cursingly, but even though he said this, his expression didn't show anything.
He had an angry expression, and when he looked down at Luo Hongxiu, the look in his eyes was filled with the simplicity and kindness unique to farmers. "Girl, you don't have to be afraid. I am a villager nearby and I have no ill intentions towards you.
"
Luo Hongxiu looked at the man in the afternoon sun and was silent for a long, long time. Then she murmured, "Why... why did you save me?"
The middle-aged farmer thought for a while, looked at Luo Hongxiu's face, which was not gorgeous, but was very beautiful, and said: "Because you are very beautiful, it would be a pity if your face was pecked by a vulture. Because life is beautiful.
, it would be a pity if you died here."
"Life is beautiful?" Luo Hongxiu was moved again after hearing these words that seemed simple but seemed to contain some truth.
"Girl, how are you feeling? Can you stand up?" the middle-aged farmer asked again.
Luo Hongxiu was silent, the look in her eyes kept changing, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"It seems that you are seriously injured, but there are a lot of vultures here, so it's not advisable to stay for a long time. I'm sorry for all of you." After the middle-aged farmer said these words, he directly carried Luo Hongxiu behind his back and trotted out of the valley.
.
The moment Luo Hongxiu was carried on her back, a moment of struggle arose in her heart, because no man had ever had such close contact with her in more than ten years. And the sword piece hidden between her fingers was
At this time, she was only three inches away from the man's neck. As long as her arm on the man's shoulder shook slightly, she would definitely cut the man's throat.
However, Luo Hongxiu has never been able to do this. Because she feels that the temperature on the man's body is very warm. It is a kind of warmth that she has not felt for many years. It is also Luo Ying and Luo Sheng, those people with the same cold hearts,
A kind of warmth that could never be brought to her.
It was that kind of warmth that made Luo Hongxiu feel for the first time that not all men in the world were so annoying. At least the man in front of her was not annoying...
"Don't hate it?" Luo Hongxiu was shocked by her own thoughts just after thinking of this section, "How can a man not hate it? Everything is false! He must have some other ideas when he wants to take me away!
"Luo Hongxiu's eyes slowly turned cold, and the small piece of sword held between her fingers reflected the cold light in the sun.
