Night Tales

Chapter 38 Outliers

When the two women with their children were walking on the road, they heard a few words and probably knew that the leakage of the sky was the fault of the sky core.The girl stayed in the night state for some reason, but she wanted to go to the Heavenly Court to make trouble, killed many magic soldiers, and even smashed the Demon Suppressing Tower.However, this evildoer could not be killed no matter what, so he had to let her go again.The people in Mortal Realm don't know that Tianhe is a girl.They were just monsters released from the night realm, and they went to heaven to make trouble.

Xiao Fannian listened to passers-by bragging all the way, without saying a word.

Luo Ying asked: "A Nian, what kind of person do you think Tianhe is?"

"She saved Tanxue and got along well with him. She is a person who is easily moved."

"But why did she kill so many people?"

"Isn't Lu Chengxi not clear?"

"I haven't talked to him about the Sky Core. Because I think that girl is really scary. This time, when Dixue goes to the night realm, he will inevitably live in the Magic Brush Peak. I don't know if the girl will recognize her. The snow has become like this, alas!"

Thinking of Tan Xue, thinking of her sister and mother, Luo Ying couldn't help feeling sad again.If they didn't go out that day and stayed at home with peace of mind, they wouldn't have died.But there is no if in this world, she still can't accept this fact, she hasn't cried yet.She didn't see their bodies with her own eyes, and she didn't want to believe that the relatives who were talking and laughing two days ago were gone in the blink of an eye.

A large number of refugees escaped from Yanzhou. Chaozhou was the first city they passed through when they fled eastward. When they arrived here, the city was already overcrowded. There was no hotel to find, and even if they were looking for a restaurant to eat, they had to wait in line. The teams come one by one.

Refugees are scattered in corners, tents, sheets, helpless women and numb children.They had no choice but to buy two horses and planned to go out of the city by night.

Two adults led the horse, and a child sat on the horse. The road was crowded, and they walked very slowly. The air was filled with the smell of putrefaction and excrement.

Suddenly, a few ragged men rushed out in front of them, baring their teeth and claws at them. Luo Qinghuan was frightened and cried on the horse, while Tan Xue was still numb and did not respond.One of them, the taller one, held a stick in his hand and threatened them, "Put the horse down! Come on."

Luo Ying walked up in two steps and kicked the man. The man was thrown out and fell on his accomplice, even the two accomplices behind him were also kicked down.Although they suffered a loss, they refused to back down. Two people rushed up and bit the horse Xiao Fannian was leading. The horse was frightened, neighed long and raised its front hooves. The reins fell off the horse, Xiao Fannian hurriedly stretched out his hand to catch it, those people took advantage of this time, surrounded the horse, and hit the horse's head several times, the horse fell to the ground immediately.

Luo Qinghuan also fell off the horse in fright and fell into Luo Ying's arms.Even the horse with them was killed and fell to the ground.The men lay prone on the horses and began to eat like wild animals.Luo Ying didn't dare to snatch the horse anymore. They were just a group of hungry and crazy people. How could she be willing to argue with them? She shook her head, pulled Luo Qinghuan, and said, "Let's go."

The remaining money was not enough to buy horses, so they could only walk forward.

The sun overhead was suddenly blocked, and then there was a beast's neighing.Suddenly, a gluttonous monster descended from the sky and landed on the street about half a mile in front of them, trampling a group of people to death.The monster roared again, bit a person who was about to escape, swallowed it, and went to find the next target, one bite at a time, the crowd fell into extreme fear.

Xiao Fannian pushed Tanxue into Luo Ying's arms, raised his sword and went up.

The monster was eating people, and suddenly got stabbed in the body.The monster's scales were thick, and only one piece was cut off with that sword.The monster roared and hit her with its head. Xiao Fannian turned to avoid it, and the monster chased after him. Although it was big in size, its body was very flexible, and it almost bit Xiao Fannian. Also destroyed several by it.Xiao Fannian had no choice but to lure the monster away and fled to a distant mountain.The monster chased more and more closely, its sharp mouth suddenly bit Xiao Fannian's clothes, Xiao Fannian froze, it stretched out its front paws to grab her, Xiao Fannian raised his sword to stab the monster's mouth, the monster was in pain, Letting her go, she cut off one of its claws with her backhand.The monster roared and ran towards the sky, struggling, and then its eyes turned red, and it rushed towards Xiao Fannian frantically, the speed was so fast, Xiao Fannian pulled away, but was blown by the accompanying strong wind, fell into the mountains.

The monster screamed again, and with a mighty force in its abdomen, it smashed towards the place where Xiao Fannian fell. With a "boom", a big hole was smashed into that place. The monster returned to the air, but saw someone in the forest. What flashed by, and smashed his body down again, Xiao Fannian was a step slower this time, although he dodged the monster's body, he was caught by the stirred up gravel and trees, and flew out, the monster succeeded and became even more majestic , squatted on the hind legs, flicked, and flew towards the place where Xiao Fannian landed, landed, missed, landed again, hit!With a scream, the monster flew into the air, screaming and rolling, it turned out that it hit Xiao Fannian's sword and pierced its abdomen.

The monster struggled a bit, saw Xiao Fannian flying over, turned and ran away, Xiao Fannian couldn't let it run away, and flew up, the family heirloom sword was still in its belly!

Xiao Fan recited a sword move, the monster's body sank downwards, and then its speed became faster, Xiao Fan's momentum was already weak, and it fell to the ground. , She chased to the top of the mountain, trying to charge again, the monster saw that she was catching up, and flew up a little bit, Xiao Fannian recited another tactic, the moment the monster fell, Xiao Fannian was already holding onto the hilt of the sword, The sword was already stained with the scorching blood of the monster, and there was a burning pain in the palm of his hand. Xiao Fannian screamed, let go of the sword, and let it go.

Just as the monster on the other side went away, another one came here and stuck in the crowd, squeezing out a lot of blood.Luo Qinghuan screamed in fright, Luo Ying held Luo Qinghuan with one hand, and Tanxue with the other, she wanted to wait here until Xiao Fannian came back, but the monster was too close to her, it might rush over at any time Press the three of them into patties.Luo Ying had no choice but to flee along the flow of people with the two little ones.The population of the city has already become a burden. So many people are pushing each other and fleeing desperately, but it is even more congested. In the face of huge monsters, human beings seem small and fragile.

Luo Ying took the two children back to the edge of the crowd, looked up at Xiao Fannian while running.Where can I find her figure?Luo Ying simply carried the two small ones, raised her breath, flew onto the stream of people, stepped forward on the heads of the people, and flew to the gate of the city in one breath. , you can see the body torn apart.Luo Qinghuan hugged Luo Ying all the time and shouted in fear, Luo Ying suddenly felt that Tan Xue's stupid behavior was actually protecting herself.She looked at Tan Xue and found that her eyes could already turn.

"Tanxue?" Luo Ying called out, but Tanxue was still dumbfounded.People coming and going pushed them from east to west.Tan Xue didn't know how to dodge, and was squeezed to the ground by the passing crowd, and broke free with her hands.Luo Ying was startled, she pushed aside the crowd and rushed towards Tan Xue, who was kicked back and forth, Luo Ying couldn't catch up to her no matter what.

"Xue! Xue!" The boundless fear almost overwhelmed Luo Ying. He kept rushing forward, but was repeatedly pushed back by the crowd.Seeing the little thing being drowned by countless messy calves, fear turned into anger.Luo Ying became cruel, and bumped forward, squeezing out a distance of about three feet. She bent down, and was about to grab Tan Xue's hand, but Luo Qinghuan was overwhelmed by the crowd, and let go of Luo Ying's hand, Luo Ying was already in a state of confusion at this time, squeezing towards Tan Xue while turning her head to look at her daughter.Luo Qinghuan was short, and disappeared in front of Luo Ying's eyes in an instant. Luo Ying yelled: "Huan'er!" Turning around, she threw herself at Tan Xue with all her strength and isolated her from the trampling footsteps. While looking at the place where Luo Qinghuan disappeared, he picked up Tanxue from the ground, stood up, and rushed forward desperately holding Tanxue's hand.

"Huaner... Where are you, Huaner?"

"What's the crowd, damn girl, haven't you seen so many people?" A strong man in front of Luo Ying pushed Luo and said.Luo Ying was already on fire, seeing someone not only blocking the way, but also swearing at each other, she raised her leg and kicked the strong man in the stomach, and she kicked the crowd out of the space about seven feet.The strong man bumped into someone else, and the person he bumped into fell onto another person, and they collided layer by layer, causing everyone to suffer terribly.The big man fell to the ground, Luo Ying stopped looking at him, and tiptoed to look in front of the crowd.

"Huan'er!" Luo Ying called again and ran forward.Those who had seen Luo Ying's strength made way for her one after another. She easily moved forward for more than 30 feet, but she lost her way again.

"Where are you, Huan'er?" Luo Ying called out again, but the call was instantly drowned out by the noisy voices.Luo Ying was so anxious that she had no choice but to call out over and over again.

"No rush, no rush." ​​Luo Ying regained her sanity a little bit, closed her eyes to calm herself down.

"That's right, why did I forget that a person who practiced martial arts was messed up by such a trivial matter." Luo Ying calmed down and began to search for Luo Qinghuan's voice.If Luo Qinghuan gets lost, she will definitely keep calling for her mother.Unless...unless...Luo Ying didn't dare to think any more, and carefully discerned her daughter's calling from the crowd.

"Huan'er, Huan'er, call me mother again." Luo Ying prayed in her heart.

"Mother... Mother..." Sure enough, the little girl's weak cry came from diagonally opposite.

"Huan'er!" Luo Ying exclaimed in surprise, and following the voice, picked up Tanxue and was about to fly above the crowd.Go look for Luo Qinghuan's figure.

Luo Qinghuan saw her mother on the ground, shouted and waved to her.

"Huan'er!" Luo Ying felt so excited that her heart almost jumped out, stepped on several heads, and landed in front of her daughter, Luo Qinghuan cried and threw herself into her mother's arms.

When Luo Ying put the child in her arms on the ground and prepared to continue fleeing, she suddenly found that it was a strange little boy.

As if a thunderbolt struck down, Luo Ying felt a stabbing pain all over her body, and then she lost consciousness and stayed where she was.

The boy shouted desperately: "Let me go, let me go, daddy save me."

Luo Ying let go of the child in her arms, and the boy ran away as soon as he landed.Squeeze through the crowd.

"Mother...Mother..." The daughter's cry for help kept echoing in her ears, getting further and further away, Luo Ying finally came to her senses suddenly, and moved towards the voice.Luo Qinghuan's small body was leaning against the corner of the wall, wiping tears helplessly.

"Huan'er!" Luo Ying rushed over and hugged her into her arms, comforting her: "Huan'er is not afraid, mother is here. Let's go find your sister." Luo Ying picked up Luo Qinghuan and went against the flow of people shuttle.Shouting while walking.Unlike Luo Qinghuan, Tanxue has already lost her mind, she can neither speak, nor will she find her when she is called.The image of her small body being squeezed on the ground for countless people to trample on flashed in Luo Ying's mind, and her liver and gallbladder burst.She just lost her sister, and in a blink of an eye, she couldn't even keep her sister's child.She didn't dare to think about it anymore, her mind went blank.

For a moment, she seemed to be in a nightmare, she only knew to open her mouth to call, and only knew to squeeze in the opposite direction of the flow of people.In the distance, the monster had finished its meal, spread its wings and went away, and the panicked crowd gradually stagnated.Luo Ying squeezed to the place where she met Di Xue for the last time, and there was still half a figure there.She searched on the ground, but did not see the body. Fortunately, she prayed in her heart.Won't be captured by spirit bandits?No, no, it's too late to escape in such a panic scene, who dares to dream of getting rich?

Xiao Fannian was standing on the tower, and the soldiers guarding the city saw with their own eyes that she lured a monster away and drove it away. Now that she came back safely, they knew that this was a powerful master, so they all hid aside.Xiao Fannian ran along the city wall, his eyes searched back and forth on the street, and after crossing two streets, he finally saw a familiar figure holding a child. She jumped and landed in front of Luo Ying.

"Tanxue...Tanxue is gone." Luo Ying put Luo Qinghuan down, grabbed Xiao Fannian's arm and said.

"What? Where did you lose it?"

Luo Ying took Xiao Fannian back to the place where Jixue lost.Here officers and soldiers are cleaning up the dead bodies on the ground.There is a pungent bloody smell everywhere.Xiao Fannian looked around, Luo Ying said: "I've looked for it here, but there isn't one."

Xiao Fannian asked again how he lost it, and Luo Ying said.The two of them didn't eat a bite, and they searched for someone all over the city.From the afternoon, it was found that there was no progress in the next morning, and finally Luo Qinghuan cried and cried hungry, so she stopped to take a rest.After dinner, Luo Ying wrote a letter to Xi Chenzhu.

The cruelty and panic of the day have gone down with the sun.Because of this accident, refugees left the city in large numbers, and the streets became deserted.

Tan Xue got out of the straw pile, looking at everything in front of her in confusion.Why she was here, she could not remember.She vaguely remembered that someone wanted to hold her hand, but she was suddenly squeezed away, fell into a nearby pile of straw, and passed out.

She also remembered moving with the flow of people before she fainted.She tried to follow the crowd in the street and ran.

There seemed to be something wrong, the flow of people seemed a bit chaotic, she stopped again, ran back, and looked helplessly at the passing pedestrians.

She wanted to call out, what name to call out, but she just opened her mouth, and she didn't know who to call, and she was confused again.

She thought she should wait for someone here, so she waited here.It was getting darker, and the pedestrians on the street turned into black silhouettes.The more she waited, the more anxious she became, and the more she waited, the more helpless she became.The moon rose and set, but no one came to hold her hand.

She finally gave up, she couldn't remember how long she hadn't eaten, and her stomach was already turned upside down, so she had no choice but to leave this place and walk to a restaurant not far away.

She was about to step through the door, but Xiao Er rushed out to chase her away: "Go, go, little beggar, don't hinder our business."

She went to the next house and got the same treatment.When she walked to the last one at the end of the street, the boss looked at her pitifully and gave her a white cake.As if seeing a baby, Tan Xue stretched out her hand to take it, but she couldn't speak, so she could only bow and gobbled it up.

A white cake could not fill her hungry stomach, and she was too embarrassed to ask for anything, so she left the restaurant, found a well to drink some water, and continued to look for someone.She felt that someone should be looking for her.

She walked onto the main road, collided with a young man, and fell to the ground. The young man wanted to help her up, but was about to get close when he saw her covered in blood, and the strong smell of blood rushed into her nose, thinking that she had met her. Ghost, turned around and ran away in fright.

Yesterday afternoon, Shi Tanxue fell into the crowd, because she had internal strength to protect her body, she didn't suffer any injuries, but rolled out with blood all over her body.However, she herself didn't realize that it was scary at the moment, she got up from the ground and was still walking among the crowd.

Luo Ying and Xiao Fannian have been searching for two days.For two full days, without a moment's rest, on the third day, Lu Chengxi came back, and arranged some people to search together, and searched for another day, but there was no news.

In fact, it's not that I didn't find it, but that I almost found it.At that time, Tanxue heard someone calling her, so she ran over and fixed her eyes on that person, but she didn't recognize him.The adults have always taught her that she must never go with strangers. Strangers are always trying to harm her, so she hid and stayed away from those people, making it even more difficult to find them.Everyone searched the city, but they couldn't find anyone alive or corpses.Several people discussed it, so they had no choice but to leave here and look elsewhere.

Dixue continued to wander in this city, and no one was willing to give her white cakes to eat. The city was full of homeless people, and a famine broke out outside the city, and word spread quickly.The merchants gradually closed, and Tan Xue hadn't eaten for several days. A bloody man was wandering around the corner, and the people he met inevitably felt frightened. Seeing that she was in no pain, she ran away again.
