C10

It was another night. Many things seemed to happen at night, especially those who could not see the light of day!

There was no wall that did not let the wind pass, not to mention that in this simple and unsophisticated little village, the story of the moon had already been spread. However, no one knew the real story behind it.

When Wu Shi took advantage of the fog that had yet to disperse, leaving with his men, the village seemed to have become completely silent. It was unknown whether it was because they were missing a person or because they were lacking a habit, the children came to the study hall as usual, and habitually studied the things they had learnt before the moon. However, even until the sun set in the west, they did not see their mister.

After Wu Shi brought Little Yi back, she locked herself in her house for an entire day, neither eating nor drinking. Her parents couldn't hear a single sound, and if it wasn't for the fact that Wu Shi peeped into her room from the crack in the door and stared at the ceiling in a daze, her parents would really force themselves into the house to see what was going on!

In the end, they did not disturb her. They knew how reluctant Little Yi was to see Yue'er leave, but they did not know that the image of her being pierced through by Yue'er's shoulder blade suddenly made this twelve to thirteen year old girl a lot stronger. It was the first time in her life that she had the thought of protecting someone else!

On the other side, Yue was being held on top of the prison cart, the blood on her body had long since dried up, the white clothes on her body tightly stuck to her skin. On the other side, Yue was being held on top of the prison cart, the blood on her body had long since dried up, the white clothes on her body tightly stuck to her skin.

It was unknown how many things had happened in the village recently. Furthermore, it was an ancient tradition of winter, and everyone seemed to be exhausted. They turned out the lights early and went to rest! When a person was tired, it was also the time to relax!

There was a small group of about 20 people in the mountain forest to the north of the village. All of them were dressed in black, and their heads were covered with veils, and only their eyes were exposed, and they followed the route that they had decided on earlier in the day, groping their way towards the village. The forest near the village had many traps set for killing animals, and it was very difficult for the people of the outer village to safely pass through them.

It was in the late autumn, so the newly harvested rice was spread out here to be dried and then stored. Coincidentally, this was also the place where the villagers lived the least.

According to the directions given by the map, they were able to get close to this clearing very quickly and hid behind a pile of canyons. The leader of the group, borrowing the shadow of the canyon under the moonlight, slowly peeked his head out and observed his surroundings; the first thing that caught his attention was of course the small thatched cottage on night duty. Today, the villagers would arrange for each household to take turns at night; today, it was the Old Chief of the east end of the village and Old Second that Old Wang who had come here.

The man in the lead looked around and waited for a little while, confirming that besides the two people in the thatched cottage, there was no one else coming in or out of the vicinity. The man in the lead looked around and waited for a little while, confirmed that other than the two in the cottage, there were no other people coming in or out of the vicinity.

The person in the lead waved his hand behind him and stretched out four fingers. The four people in the front of the line respectively stood behind the person in the lead, and then the five of them circled around the pile of valleys, insinuating themselves into the thatched cottage. The closer they got to the source of the voice, the clearer and more distinct were the sounds.

"Why do you think this is so weird? Why did Mr. Yue leave just like that?" Old Zhang took a sip of the wine and then added, "Yes, but I heard that Mr. Yue was taken away …" Second Brother Wang stuck his head out and whispered to Old Zhang, "Why did you capture him?" "Mr. Yue is such a good person. He's young, has even read a book, and the heavens don't want to open their eyes!" Elder Zhang shook his head, sighing helplessly, "Sigh, who knows? Our village's child finally got someone who had read a book, and this school has only been repaired for half a year, there's no need for that. The first thing Mr. Yue saw was that he was definitely not an ordinary person, and I heard that this matter has nothing to do with the current Crown Prince!"

"Is that so? There was such a thing? How come I haven't heard of it at all? Did Mr. Yue get into a relationship with the crown prince? This crown prince's matter was extremely serious! When Mr. Yue was rescued by Xiao Yi's parents, they said that he suffered severe injuries. Could it be that it had something to do with the crown prince? This is amazing! " Old Zhang and Second Brother Wang were in the middle of a heated conversation when a sudden gust of cold wind blew. The two of them couldn't help but shiver. "It's autumn now, the weather is really cold!" Old Zhang murmured as he stood up and said, "Go out and take a piss."

"Tsk, just a few cups and you're done for!" Second Brother Wang replied and closed the door with a creak. Second Brother Wang couldn't help but turn his head and look out the window at the piles of rocks, and the distant forest swayed left and right with the autumn wind, as if there was a line of people standing there. Second Brother Wang smiled, picked up the wine cup in his hand, took a sip, and wiped his mouth as he said to himself, "This man is old, and easily gets lost in his thoughts!"

Old Zhang still hadn't returned. Second Brother Wang couldn't sit still and felt a bit nervous in his heart. He had lived for so long, but this was the first time he felt this way. He felt a sense of oppression in his heart. He picked up the jug of wine from the table and filled his cup.

"You damned bastard, how dare you take care of this in the middle of the night? Are you trying to scare me?" Second Brother Wang jumped in fright, swearing, "Damn old head Zhang, come in quickly!" Second Brother Wang turned his head and shouted towards the door. There was no sound coming from the outside. After a while, there was a "Dong Dong Dong" sound.

At this moment, he picked up the sickle hanging on the wall, braced his courage, and lightly walked to the door. Taking a deep breath, he pulled on the door with all his might, raising the sickle with his right hand, and suddenly found Old Zhang standing outside the door with his head raised, "You damned bastard, you scared me to death!" Second Brother Wang took a deep breath and threw a punch at Old Zhang, but he suddenly realized that Old Zhang was in the wrong direction, and did not say a word. Second Brother Wang took a step forward to see what was wrong.

The five of them dragged the two corpses to a nearby pile of valleys, and the leader made a scattered gesture towards the distance, only to see a few figures scatter into different directions. Some of them scuttled to trees, some hiding in the trees, some hiding in the forests, some hiding in the valleys, and some in the surrounding areas. The five of them took out a fire piston from their clothes and blew lightly on it, and then a small flame started to ignite around the pile of valleys, and then the five of them started to light up the fire.

Then, the barking of the dogs rose and fell, people took all kinds of water tools out of the well in a flurry, and ran straight to the open area of the North Village. There was their hard work in the past year, blood and sweat, and also food for the following winter.

The village chief hurriedly put on his clothes, picked up a bucket of water, and went out. On the way, he thought to himself, "Why did the two men on night duty who don't smoke cigarettes suddenly catch a fire?" The more he thought about it, the weirder it seemed, and a wave of unexplainable unease caused the village chief to almost trip over rocks. At this moment, the valley was packed with men, women, and children, and everyone came in and out of the valley, splashing water on the piles of rocks. Although the fire was controlled, to completely extinguish it, it would still take some time.

Suddenly, the village chief seemed to have realized something. He straightened his body and looked around at the forest around him. Suddenly, from all directions of the valley, a series of long arrows pierced through the air and shot towards the villagers.

Then, shouts and moans echoed in the air above the valley. A bloody massacre had begun. In the blink of an eye, dozens of people had fallen in a pool of blood!

"Everyone, get down, get down!" The village head's hoarse voice sounded so weak and ethereal at this moment, as he watched the villagers fall one by one, the village head could no longer hold himself back, he straightened his body and wailed loudly, "Just who are you, why did you do this, why did you stop, why did you do this, what did you do, what did you do?" The village head already had no way to control his emotions, and he didn't know what to say, as if what he needed to do most was to accompany his fellow villagers to fall down. At this moment, an arrow flew straight towards the village head, which he also noticed. At this moment, he slowly closed his eyes, waiting for the moment.

The moment the Village Chief waited did not come, but next to him, a new face appeared. This person was tall and straight, dressed in a blue muslin, with an extremely elegant face, he held a dark blue treasure sword in his hand, on the sword even had blood dripping from the blood, making people feel a chill just by looking at him. However, the feeling he gave off was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen this person somewhere: "Everyone, do not move, just crawl into the valley or under the corpses!"
