The night was terrifyingly silent. There was not a trace of starlight in the sky, and the air was filled with the thick smell of blood.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, brightening up the land. The deafening sound of thunder broke the silence of the night.
Accompanying the thunder, bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky, trying to wash away the blood on the ground.
The rain continued for two days and nights without any sign of stopping.
The mountain current erupted, pouring all of its energy downstream.
A few days later, people in the lower reaches of the river discovered a large number of rotting corpses in the sand.
Although the government had decided that the villagers were being massacred, because they were leprosy villagers, the government didn't bother to investigate who the culprit was. After all, this culprit had helped the government a lot.
Leprosy Village was an existence that gave people a headache. One could tell by the name that the villagers who lived here were people who had leprosy. There was nowhere to run, kill, and kill them.
Currently, the entire village had been destroyed overnight. For those who had died, this was a calamity, but for those who were still alive, it was a fortunate thing. Everyone even had to thank this assassin.
It was just a small village that people despised, yet it was hard for them to live in seclusion. Who could have such irreconcilable hatred with this small village that they would kill the entire village mercilessly?
No one but the assassin knew the answer.
Shuangfeng Town was a small town located at the southern foot of the Shuangfeng Mountain. Because of the mountain, the town didn't become closed and poor because of the mountain. On the contrary, it became famous as the tea town because of the gift from the mountain.
When picking tea leaves, all the tea merchants from all over the world would come to the Twin Peak Mountain to purchase tea leaves. The streets and alleys of the tea shops were filled with tea leaves, but even so, the supply and demand of the tea leaves were still insufficient, and the tea shops were doing great business. Therefore, at this time of year, many locals would go to the Twin Peaks to pick wild mountain tea and then sell it in the town.
Every morning, a few well-known tea shops were already filled with merchants who came to buy tea. As for those who came late, they could only go to some unknown tea shops to buy tea.
No matter what, at this time of year, as long as it was a tea seller, there was no need to worry. If one were to casually set up a stall on the ground, it would attract a lot of tea merchants.
However, there were always exceptions. At the end of the alleyway, there was a tea shop. The person selling the tea was a woman. Her entire body was wrapped in a black cloth, only exposing her two eyes. The weather was getting hotter, but she was dressed up like this, which attracted many passers-by to look at her strangely.
Seeing other people's tea stalls bustling with people, bargaining non-stop, and even some people blushing in order to queue up, yet there was no one in front of her stall. The woman seemed to be unresigned and shouted, "It's tea sales, it's tea sales, all of them are high quality wild mountain tea …"
After shouting for a long time, a merchant finally came to a stop in front of her. He squatted down, picked up a piece of tea and smelled it, then couldn't help praising, "Mmm, it's really good tea. Young lady, may I ask how much you want for this tea?"
The girl said absent-mindedly, "One money and three coins."
"What?" That person was a little surprised and asked again, "How much is it?"
"Three coins?"
The hand holding the tea leaves could not help but tremble.
Looking at him, the woman said, "If you think it's expensive, I can lower the price. How about two coins?"
"Such a good tea lady only sold it for three coins. Are you sure you aren't joking with me?"
the man asked excitedly.
"Who's joking with you?" The woman answered seriously.
"Could there be something wrong with this woman's head? "If you're not crazy or don't know how to do business, how can there be such a good thing in this world?" The man thought to himself as he looked at the odd-looking woman in front of him.
It had to be known that even if there were five or six leaves on the Shuangfeng Mountain, they would still be worth 10% of the money. However, in front of such an enticing price, the man didn't waste any time thinking and quickly took out his bag.
Just then, a few burly men suddenly gathered around him. One of the men didn't explain and kicked the bamboo basket full of tea leaves to the ground. He shouted, "Go away, you're really trying to disrupt our business right?"
"If you don't understand the situation, then don't stay here. Aren't you trying to make things difficult for us?"
"One or two coins?" It's more than two dollars just to earn a bounty on this street. "
The woman felt wronged and wanted to argue with them, but one of the men said to the merchant, "I say, brother, you still dare to take her tea leaves, do you know who she is?"
That person sized up the girl and asked in puzzlement, "Is she just a little girl selling tea?"
Everyone began to laugh coldly. One of them said, "That's right, she is indeed a little girl. She is just a little girl that has contracted leprosy."
Ah!
The man was shocked. His face was pale as a sheet. He hurriedly threw away the tea leaves in his hand, turned around, and walked away.
"Scram!" You are not welcome here! "
"Isn't the village of Leprosy dead? "How are there still survivors?"
"If you don't leave now, don't blame us for being impolite!"
"..."
The big men started to talk back and forth, viciously attacking the woman, who kept kowtowing to them and begging, "Please, big brothers, please let me set up a stall here to make a living. Our village is dead now, and only the little girl is left by herself, she won't have much work to do, she can only rely on picking some tea leaves to earn some money to live on, I hope that the big brothers can give her a chance …"
Before she could finish her sentence, she was viciously kicked to the ground.
"Why are you blabbering so much? Someone like you has no way to survive. You should be long dead!" A big guy stepped on her head and said fiercely.
More and more people gathered to watch the commotion. Everyone was pointing and pointing at the girl. From the look of disgust on their faces, it was obvious that they couldn't say anything good about her.
"This big brother here, please lift your feet up and let her go."
At this moment, a strange voice came from the crowd.
The gazes of the crowd fell uniformly on a white-clothed youth.
Looking at this youth, the big guy disdainfully snorted, "Boy, you're not coming here. I advise you to meddle in other people's business and leave quickly. If you keep going, don't blame me for being rude!"
As he spoke, he rubbed his fists as he faced the young man. It seemed to be a warning, yet at the same time, it also seemed to be a threat.
At this time, a crisp laughter came from the crowd:
"Uncle, don't look down on others. It's best for you to listen to my Big Brother Yu and let this girl go. Otherwise, you'll be the ones who will end up in trouble."
The one who spoke was a slightly short youth, and he was standing right beside the youth in white.
Seeing the two of them speaking up for a leper, everyone looked at them strangely and whispered to each other.
Seeing that these two kids dared to provoke him, the big sized man was extremely angry. He signaled the people beside him with his eyes and walked towards the two teenagers.
At this time, there were several people beside the young man who tried to persuade him out of good intentions.
"Little brother, you guys should hurry up and leave."
"That's right, that's right. If the two of you really start fighting, you will definitely suffer."
The two teenagers didn't leave even after being exhorted by a kind-hearted person. They still stood there calmly.
