Lin Shu looked down at the spring water flowing out of the mountain crevice.
The stream water in Peach Blossom Spring is clear, even if it is mixed with hot spring water, it is only slightly turbid.
At this time, the water had a dull red tinge.
Xiao Shao grabbed his hand and clenched it tightly.
Lin Shu felt his fingers go cold.
Xiao Shao didn't say anything, and took him to clear the dry vines outside the mountain gap and walked into the slit.
The slit was narrow, deep and black, and only the sound of water echoed in my ears.
When Lin Shu heard the sound of water, he thought of blood.
He was even instinctively reluctant to move forward.
Xiao Shao said: "Don't be afraid."
After turning a corner, a ray of skylight was exposed, gradually becoming brighter and more dazzling.
Xiao Shao covered his eyes with his hands.
Lin Shu knew that this was Xiao Shao's fear that the strong light after he had left the mountain for a while would pierce his eyes.
Out of the slit, the wind blew, and the smell of blood became stronger.
Lin Shu was led forward by Xiao Shao, and then stopped.
He stretched out his hand to remove Xiao Shao's hand covering his eyes.
Xiao Shao did not let go.
Lin Shu said, "I'm fine."
Xiao Shao said: "Your hands are very cold."
Lin Shu: "You too."
Xiao Shao said, "Do you really want to see it?"
Lin Shu: "I can… accept it."
Xiao Shao said: "It's very similar."
Lin Shu: "Like what?"
"Mirror."
Lin Shu's mind was blank.
Xiao Shao gently removed his fingers.
Blood.
lots of blood.
Dark brown, soaked in soil, emerald green grass, also splattered with blood.
He looked up and looked forward.
The village is still the same village, but it is terribly quiet, not even a trace of the chirping birds on weekdays.
There was a lot of blood splashing by the creek.
His hands were shaking a little, trying to maintain his balance and walking into the alley.
The alley was so silent that only the footsteps of the two of them could be heard.
A lot of blood was also splashed on the courtyard wall of the neighbor's house, dripping and dripping all over the wall, and it shone slightly in the sunlight.
There was a small pool on the ground next to it. For some reason, Lin Shu thought of Greyhound.
Xiao Shao pushed open the door of the aunt's courtyard.
In the yard, only the aunt is usually alone, because the men in the family go to work in the field in the early morning and come back in the middle of the afternoon.
At a glance, Lin Shu saw many bloodstains dripping on the vegetable floor in the yard. I wonder if it was a chicken or a duck.
Half of the water tank was dyed dark brown, the water inside was red, a large area was smeared on the ground, and there was a water scoop that had been overturned on the ground next to it.
Guo Zi didn't know when he appeared, so he stood on tiptoe with great effort, clinging to the edge of the water tank, staring blankly at the surface of the water, and then at the kitchen door, Qing Lingling's eyes filled with tears.
Xiao Shao whispered: "Why..."
Lin Shu also wanted to ask the same question.
Why
When they left, they set up the strongest barrier they could, and when they left, they made sure to keep all the wizards away.
Who slaughtered the whole village of Taohuayuan
And... why is it such a method.
No bones, no corpses, just blood.
The whole village, the fields outside, were covered in blood.
- And the bloodstain is no longer fresh, it has solidified. When it is not solidified, what kind of scene is the blood flowing into the river
Lin Shu's eyes flashed, and he suddenly remembered his previous life. On the way to school, there was a car accident in the middle of the road.
The scene has been cleaned up, and the blood has not been wiped clean. A large pool of dark bloodstains dripped irregularly in the middle of the road, which was extremely conspicuous.
At that time, he thought, human life is just such a pool of blood.
But now, seeing the bloodstains on the beach, the voices and smiles of the aunt and the neighbors, and even the barking of the greyhound, appeared in front of him.
The kitchen door was closed, as if the aunt would push the door and come out the next moment, holding a bowl of white and delicious fish soup in one hand.
His eyes froze, and for a moment, he was so dazed that he could barely stand.
Xiao Shao said: "It's a very sinister witchcraft."
Lin Shu nodded.
Not only evil, but very powerful.
He went to see Xiao Shao.
Xiao Shao looked at the pool of blood and was speechless for a long time. Then, he went to the room.
The room was the same as when they left, neat and tidy, and there was even an unwilted white plum stuck in the clay vase on the table.
There is something more on the table.
They walked over.
Xiao Shao picked it up - it was a bead.
A shadow bead.
In Peach Blossom Spring, there is naturally no such thing.
It could only be left by the person from Tu Village.
Xiao Shao injected spiritual power.
The air in front of them was illusory for a moment, and then—
The piercing screams and screams sounded at this moment, as if coming from all directions.
The picture is from top to bottom, according to the ground.
A human body suddenly turned into puddles of thick blood, and splashed on the ground with a thud.
A voice said, "Your Highness, do you want to clean up?"
"No need." The voice had a strange tone, a mysterious hoarseness.
A pair of feet stepped on this pool of blood, and the dark purple boots spread a bloody color.
The hem of the man's clothes was the same, almost black, deep purple, with some tangled, frantic lines of witchcraft on it.
His voice seemed to have a hint of a smile that came from nowhere: "The world... there is no place for purity."
The voice that appeared for the first time continued: "Your Highness, are you going to Qingming Cave?"
Venerable Master said: "It's boring."
The image stopped abruptly.
The photo beads turned into crumbs and dripped from Xiao Shao's fingers.
Lin Shu said, "Who is it?"
Xiao Shao: "Great witch."
Beixia has a majesty, a lord.
Your Majesty is the emperor of Beixia, your lord... is the great witch of Beixia.
Is the big witch out
The great witch placed this photo bead on the table in their room, what was the purpose? Does he know they'll be back? Is it for them to see
And those screams and screams, are they torture
Lin Shu couldn't think about it. When he thought about it, he saw the aunt turned into a pool of sticky blood.
Will it hurt
Would... be very scared
His heart was pulled up by something, and the pain was throbbing.
It was a feeling he had never experienced before.
Peach Blossom is gone.
All people and things have become blood.
And their deaths, isn't it, they can't get rid of themselves
If they had never stepped into the Peach Blossom Spring and never knew the existence of the Peach Blossom Spring, would this isolated fairyland on earth be like this, forever and ever
His fingers clenched into his palm.
Xiao Shao took his hand, covered the back of his hand with the palm of his hand, and then took him into his arms.
Lin Shu leaned against Xiao Shao's chest and closed his eyes.
There was a sea of blood in front of him, and he could hear his own heartbeat.
Boom, boom, boom.
Deafening.
Xiao Shao hugged him slowly.
Lin Shu had never been so consciously aware of this moment that he had nothing to worry about and nothing to think about when he was a teenager. On this day, in this sea of blood, it was completely over.
His, and Xiao Shao's.
He was never really born, he was born before, just because he never entered the world.
He drew water from that clear stream, held a porcelain bowl and drank the soup cooked by his aunt, and he was already a person in this world.
In this world, there is no escape from the seven emotions and five senses, and there is no escape from the good fortune.
Xiao Shao lightly patted his back.
He reached out and grabbed Xiao Shao's arm.
Xiao Shao said: "There will be an explanation."
Lin Shu said, "The Great Witch did not come for the Qingming Cave Heaven."
Xiao Shao: "It's not to hunt down you and me."
If it is for the sake of Qingming Cave, it is impossible for the great witch to not enter.
If it is to hunt them down, they are still alive now.
Xiao Shao said: "Reject Beicheng."
Dawu exits the customs and travels south all the way, it is impossible without a plan.
And the Peach Blossom Spring took hundreds of lives—
They parted, walked to the entrance of the village, and went south.
Out of the mountain, the cold wind was blowing, and fine snow fell outside, and the Peach Blossom Spring was hidden in the rolling mountains, and there was no trace of it.
Lin Shu looked back at the faint green hills, and remembered "The Story of Peach Blossom Spring" again.
When he reached the county, he went to the prefect and said so. The prefect immediately sent people to follow him, looking for what he wanted, but he lost his way and could not find his way again.
So lost, no way back.
