Chapter 7 Sadness

Drought and fire are twins. It was dark and windy at night, and the dry forest soon burst into flames. The thieves didn't know what was going on, thinking that the officers and soldiers were coming. They shouted and roared in panic, bumped around like headless flies, and even trampled and killed each other.

Ying Yi, armed with a stick, went to the center of the bandit camp to kill. Every one he encountered was beaten to death, just like chopping melons and vegetables. Short screams and Ying Yi's shouts of "The officers and soldiers are coming" further intensified the flow of the bandits. Thief's panic.

He smashed a bandit's head with a stick, then fixed his eyes on the center of the camp without blinking, and cut through the waves to kill him. He saw several leaders hurriedly fighting, and yelling to suppress the insurgents.

"Got you!"

Ying Yi roared like thunder on the ground: "A tiger!"

One of the thieves suddenly raised his head when he heard the sound, and met Ying Yi's cold eyes from a distance of dozens of meters.

"die!"

Ying Yi made a tiger leap, and the distance of seven to eight feet disappeared under his feet. The thief was shocked when he saw it, and hurriedly shouted: "Kill this person! Kill this person quickly!"

Several old thieves howled and rushed forward. Ying Yi didn't stop, sweeping his whistle stick, and with a loud bang, the old thieves were swept away and rolled to the ground without any chance of life.

A thief mounted a horse and charged towards him with a knife raised. He looked fierce, but in Ying Yi's eyes, he looked extremely slow. He stepped aside, and then with a sudden movement of his shoulder, he knocked the horse thief to the ground, including himself and his horse. Several old thieves, either armed with knives or on horseback, attacked them from three sides, and were beaten to death by Ying Yi with all his whistle sticks.

The distance of tens of meters was shortened by half in just a few breaths. At the same time, at least ten old thieves died under Ying Yi's stick.

Li Guo and other thieves were horrified and shouted: "Hit him with a bludgeon! Beat him to death!"

There were several bangs and bangs, and among the fireworks, Li Guo disappeared without a trace of Ying Yi. However, an old thief next to him shouted: "Brother Hu, don't get involved with this rude man. I don't know how many officers and soldiers are surrounding him. Hurry up." Let’s go find Cao Cao!”

Soldiers and horses bombed the camp, and fire filled the sky. Li Guo also knew that there was nothing he could do to save the day. Hearing this, he said nothing, grabbed a horse, turned over and got on: "Let's go!"

Woo!

There was a sudden buzz, and a chill spread across Li Guo's back. Without thinking, he lay down on the horse. At that moment, a black light flew over his head and penetrated an old man riding a horse in front of him. The thief's vest carried him flying seven or eight feet, and finally he was nailed to a dead tree and died.

A roar came from behind: "Beast! A tiger, take your life!"

Li Guo broke into a cold sweat and shouted repeatedly: "Go quickly, go quickly!"

An old thief turned around and fired, blocking Ying Yi's footsteps. Ying Yi ducked, picked up the stones on the ground and threw them out one by one. They were like bullets within dozens of meters, knocking down all the old thiefs. .

But Li Guo was already far away.

Ying Yi hurriedly pursued him, but every time an old thief tried to stop him, although he was beaten to death by Ying Yi, Li Guo was nowhere to be seen.

"Beast! I recognize you!"

He roared wildly, like a night owl, full of sadness and resentment. He swung a simple knife that he had snatched, and cut a dead tree in half with one stroke.

He gritted his teeth: "I will kill you to the end of the world!"

Then he turned around and fell into the sea of ​​fire again. Wherever he passed, all the corpses were turned into ashes. When encountering a frantic bandit, he would cut him with a knife and take away his true spirit. He chased the thieves out of the woods and killed them until there was no more ghosts in sight. Then he took a few breaths with his almost blunt knife.

Finally, Ying Yi looked back at the dead forest illuminated by flames, slung the sword over his shoulder, strode north, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

"Brother Ying, is this Brother Ying?"

Er Niu's voice came in a low voice. When Ying Yi heard it, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's me."

I saw Erniu getting up from the dead grass nearby: "It's such a big fire, Brother Ying, are you okay?"

Ying Yi shook his head: "I'm fine. Where are you guys? Are you all fine? The thieves are scattered, and I'm afraid of bumping into you."

"It's okay." Erniu said, "I saw a few bandits and they all fled south."

Ying Yi felt relieved.

Er Niu looked at Ying Yi enthusiastically: "Brother Ying is such a hero. He defeated the bandits all by himself."

If it were Sun Xiucai, he would definitely talk about the courage of the overlord or something. But Erniu had never read a book and knew it in his heart, but he couldn't describe it in words.

Ying Yi shook his head: "I am unwilling to fail to kill a tiger."

Er Niu's expression darkened: "I know that Brother Ying cares about our fellow villagers. Otherwise, Brother Ying is so brave that if he sneaks in quietly, he will surely pick off the head of a beast like a tiger."

When Ying Yi heard this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. Er Niu usually looks naive, but unexpectedly he is a little excited to think of this.

They were indeed caring about the villagers of Xiaowangzhuang, otherwise with Ying Yi's skill, he could sneak in under the cover of night and kill a tiger with just one knife in his sleep. It was precisely because he was concerned about the folks in Xiaowangzhuang and was afraid of being involved that Ying Yi had to make a big show of his efforts to scare the thieves. In the end, he didn't even chase that beast Li Guo, but tried to kill as many bandits as possible. He was afraid that too many bandits would escape. If they ran into the fleeing villagers from Xiaowangzhuang while fleeing, something bad would happen. .

Fortunately, although there were some bandits who escaped with their lives, they all went south. It was probably the large group of people who were looking for Luo Rucai. In this pitch-black night, without knowing what was going on, the first thing the bandit thought of in fear was probably Luo Rucai.

"Where are the folks?"

Ying Yi said.

Erniu said: "Down the slope ahead."

Two oxen led the way, and there was a small slope in the distance, with more than 20 villagers hiding underneath. Before he even got close, there were waves of whimpering, and Ying Yi sighed, his heart twitching.

When Ying Yi and Er Niu arrived at the foot of the slope, what they saw made Ying Yi silent.

A dozen withered people lay side by side in a pool of blood, the smell of blood lingering in their noses. Others were sobbing, and the desolation in the night was indescribable.

Ying Yi suddenly exploded: "What's going on! What's going on! How did you take care of it!"

He was furious and extremely sad. The voice sounded like a lone night owl.

"Where's the Zhang family's sister-in-law?!"

A young man pointed at one of the dozen people lying down. Ying Yi walked over slowly, squatted down, and looked intently at the familiar but cold face. For a long time, he punched the face hard. on the ground.

"Brother Ying, Zhang's sister-in-law and the others..." Others hesitated to speak.

"No need to say it!"

Ying Yi took a deep breath: "I know everything."

In this apocalyptic world where people cannibalize themselves, these women may have been determined to die when bandits attacked the village, their families were destroyed, and their bodies were humiliated.

"Where did the knife come from?"

Zhang's sister-in-law had a knife mark on her neck.

"Picked it up when we escaped." A young man gritted his teeth and said, "Sister-in-law from the Zhang family pushed us away, and then..."

Ying Yi bit his lips tightly and understood.

After being insulted by beasts and having their family destroyed, the Zhang family's sisters-in-law and the others no longer had the desire to live. When they escaped, they picked up the knife of the thief that Ying Yi had killed. After escaping here, they drove away a few young men and then committed suicide together.
