Chapter 10 Helping Others
"Woooooooooooooo..." The melodious humming sound floated into Liu Xuzhang's ears again. A white light flashed in his head. He suddenly realized why the song was so familiar? Isn't it the low chant he heard when he capsized and fell into the water yesterday?
The singing was getting closer and closer, and suddenly, a cold breath sprayed on his neck, blowing up the several random hairs behind him. Before Liu Xuzhi turned around, the sword had already stabbed behind him with his waist. He felt that the Qingfengjian had touched something extremely hard, and he suddenly bounced back and pushed him forward a few feet away with the sword. If he hadn't been light in his body and hurriedly supported the ground with his sword, his body would have hit the bridge deck heavily.
"Miss Leng, although you died miserably, you should not count your death on the heads of these villagers. What's more, you have taken four lives and should stop. If you return to the Pure Land early, you will be reborn one day earlier. Why bother to be a lonely ghost and wander alone in the world?" Liu Xuzhang said loudly. He did not expect his words to resolve Leng Yu's resentment, but after several rounds of competition, he already knew that he was far from her opponent. Now he just wanted to use these words to hold her back and fight for some time to escape.
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, the sound of waves swaying the river surface suddenly sounded behind me, and then a sensation of water mixed with fishy smell floated into my nose.
Liu Xuting felt his chest tightening, and the meridians in his body seemed to be sealed, and he couldn't breathe out. He wanted to scream, but he could only let out a "um" moan. He wanted to leave, but his legs seemed to be frozen and could not take a step. He felt that his body was getting cold and swollen one by one, and he could even see that his hands exposed were already covered with purple-red bloody ideas.
With a "bang", the Qingfeng Sword fell off from his swollen fingers, fell to the ground and shook it for two times. Only the jade stone at the hilt of the sword emitted a glimmer of star dots.
Liu Xuting felt that his chest was about to be broken, just like the feeling of falling into the water yesterday that he could not exhale. His head seemed to have been swollen several times, and he was confused inside, without any thoughts, and without any desire to survive.
In a trance, he saw the sword spikes on the ground seemingly jumping twice, and the golden dragon pattern expanded in circles. The golden color warmed his internal organs and dispelled the cool air that strangled his meridians.
As soon as his hands and feet could move, he picked up the green sword on the ground and groped out, but the surroundings were filled with thick white mist like milk, and he could not tell the direction at all. At this moment, his hand was suddenly grabbed by a warm little hand. Liu Xuzing did not resist and instinctively told him that this person was here to save him. He followed him and kept walking forward. When the fog behind him became thinner and thinner, he finally saw the crowd in front, so he accelerated his pace and rushed out of the thick fog with the owner of the hand.
"Xiaocheng, why did you walk in by yourself without saying a word?" Xicheng's hand finally left Liu Xuzhang's finger. He was held in Xi Bo's arms and carefully checked whether he was injured.
"You can't watch your elder brother get stuck inside and can't come out, right?" Xi Cheng's eyes were as pure as a cup of white water. He turned his head to look at Liu Xuzhang, "Why are you so stupid? You just stand inside and don't know how to run."
Liu Xuling felt aroused in his heart. He felt that the righteous words he had just said to Miss Leng suddenly seemed so ferocious and malicious in front of this innocent child.
"Boy, your eyes are very good, you can see clearly inside, but I am really lost." He turned his touch into a joke.
"It's not dark inside, why can't you see clearly?" Xi Cheng said suspiciously.
"Children's eyes are clean, which is not comparable to us adults." Xi Bo looked ahead, and watched the fog retreat little by little, and the footprints on the bridge also turned into a thin stream of water. After a while, they were dried by the morning light. Then he turned to Liu Xuzhang, "Young Master Liu, what did you see in that fog just now?"
"I can't see anything clearly, but I heard a song. The sound was low and sad, just like the song I heard when the boat capsized." He paused and looked at Xi Bo, "Is that Leng's girl very versatile in her life? But although the song was beautiful, I couldn't understand what it was saying, as if... it seemed to be using another strange language."
"I also said that she is arrogant by nature and never interacts with villagers, so we know nothing about her hobbies. Maybe it's like the young master who said that she is very versatile, so what you just heard was her singing, but no matter how wonderful the sound is, it seems to us, it's just like a death knell ringing." Xi Bo sighed and pulled Xicheng to Liu Xuzhang, "Please take this child home. Old man Yan will be buried tomorrow. It's getting late now, and Tian'er and I have also got the town to buy a coffin for his father."
Liu Xuzhi said, and took Xicheng's hand and walked into the village with the villagers. Seeing that there was no one around, he patted his head, "Hey, boy, do you know there is a monster in the fog?"
Xi Cheng shrugged, "How can you not know? One or two of them were scared to look like they were so weird."
"Then why are you still going in? Aren't you afraid?"
When he asked this loudly, Xi Cheng was stunned for a moment. He scratched his head, "I... I didn't think so much, and I thought everyone would go in with me, but I didn't expect that after I got inside, I found that he was the only one." He smiled and picked up a stone and threw it at the playmate in front of him, "Erniuzi, I haven't seen you for a few days, your butt is bigger again, like a millstone."
The child named Erniuzi was not willing to let him go. He also picked up the stone and threw it at Xicheng. He screamed in his mouth with "three hairs and three hairs". The two children chased and ran, and disappeared into the crowd in a short while.
Liu Xuzhang stood still and didn't move. After a long time, he started to laugh. The smile was very warm. With a slight rippling, he ran over the corners of his mouth. He chased in the direction where Xi Cheng ran, "Boy, don't run so fast. Your grandfather told you to go home and not play around."
The right ear pressed his body tightly against the bamboo mat, and the gap was not left. Its tongue drooped outside, holding a big palm fan in his hand and shaking it hard, but even so, it still couldn't cool itself a little.
Yan Niang walked over from outside the door and glanced at him, "I have been a human for so long, and I don't look like a human yet."
"Your sewing box was lit just now." He stuck out his tongue and said in a vague way.
Yan Niang pursed her lips and smiled, "It's only been a long time since she left, when she met a weird thing. It seems that Lord Liu can't get to the Hu family first before his cousin."
