“Ah”Huang Xiaolong shouted out and the bamboo spear was stabbing to me. But when my chest was going to be pierced. Suddenly a blood gush from the mouth of Huang Xiaolong and felled on the bamboo spear. Not only it made the bamboo spear sound but also let it emit white smoke.That was tongue blood. Huang Xiaolong quickly retracted his hand and threw it away. And I could hear a faint and sad scream.
A lot of blood spilled on my face. The warm feeling made me feel like I have magic which let me restore strength. I could even to turn around difficultly.
And now Huang Xiaolong half kneeling on the ground beside me and he was panting. What"s more the blood was streaming down his mouth.
Huang Xiaolong looked at me with his smile and said, “s.h.i.+t. It was unlucky. If my old man is not coming, we are going to die together.”
I really want to help Huang Xiaolong up. But the villagers had gradually surrounded us and they got various weapons in their hands, such as knife, wooden stick.
Huang Xiaolong looked around and said, “I really didn"t like the walking dead”.
A villager in the front row sinister to say, “Ha ha. That"s funny.it was so amazing that there was a big guy hiding here and I never noticed.”
“It"s funny. right? Did you think you should let us go for a such a tough performance?” Huang Xiaolong said slyly.
But gramp Hai didn"t change people this time. The villager who had just spoken said, “kill them!”
Then all the villagers jumped on us like a vicious dog on a bone. Just when I thought I was going to die. The accident happened which an ugly figure rushed into the crowd and kicked away some of the villagers who were approaching us. Then she looked at Huang Xiaolong"s face, a missing expression showed on her face. That was red dressed woman
“What were you doing?” the villager asked.
Red dressed woman said, “you couldn"t hurt him!”
“Did you know that if you don"t kill them.it would be exposed. “The villagers said.
“Do you think you would not be exposed if you kill them? But even if it was not exposed, did you dare to stay here? “Red dressed woman answered him.
Red dressed woman gave villagers t.i.t for tat. I looked at Huang Xiaolong curiously. It was obvious that whom red dressed woman pointed at was Huang Xiaolong. What"s the relations.h.i.+p between this woman and Huang Xiaolong?
Then the villagers had been silent for a long time to say, “As you wish”.
After that, all the villagers threw away the things in their hands and stand in a line, and a villager pointed at me and said, “Do you also want to take care of him?”
Red dressed woman shook her head. She ignored me, then she squat down to look at Huang Xiaolong who was half kneeling on the ground and touch Huang Xiaolong"s face with her hands. But Huang Xiaolong didn"t pay any attention to her at all, on contrary, he took my hand and stopped me from standing up.
I was trying to fight it, but if Huang Xiaolong had not pulled me, I would had stood up. I guessed Huang Xiaolong also realized that with the strength of us, there"s no way to fight against gramp Hai.
“Save him or kill me!” Huang Xiaolong said firmly.
Red dressed woman looked at Huang Xiaolong"s firm gaze, then she immediately slammed away those villagers who were holding me and said, “This guy is belong me too.”
One of the villagers in the queue turned his head fiercely and angrily said, “you are bullying me too much.”
“Just do me a favor” red dressed woman said.
The villager"s eyes glazed with hesitation then he back to the queue. And the villagers who were knocked down were also standing up. And then went to the end of the line.
The villagers were lined up in a long line to go to the sea, the first man in the team was almost drowned by the sea.
Gramp Hai seems to have let go of my restraints, so I sit up hard and asked, “What the h.e.l.l was going on?”
Red dressed woman didn"t even take a glance at me, instead, she had been focusing on Huang Xiaolong and constantly looking at him. Huang Xiaolong glanced at me then he repeated my question to red dressed woman, and then she answered to me.
“This place had been discovered by the monks, so he had to leave immediately. The villagers were used to sacrifice. When the sacrifice was over, he would find another place to start again. Anyway he was been doing this for hundreds of years.”
After I heard, I felt chilly in my heart. In hundreds of years, how many lives he had killed! I knew that the red dressed woman would not listen to me, so I looked for help to Huang Xiaolong. Huang Xiaolong instantly understand what I mean, so asked if red dressed woman could save the villagers.
Red dressed woman glanced at me and said, “Were you trying to save the villagers? but these villagers were dead.”
Already died? I watched these villagers astonished. But I thought they were just controlled as same as I was. How could they die? I looked at red dressed woman doubtfully.
Huang Xiaolong said, “All of them?”
Red dressed woman nodded and said, “Sure, they"ve been dead for a long time and their souls were eaten by gramp Hai, only leaving soul fragments.”
“He ate souls, didn"t he afraid of the nether world to trouble him?” said Huang Xiaolong with a horrified look on his face.
Red dressed woman said, “Otherwise, they won"t let the villagers dance.”
Huang Xiaolong and I looked at each other. It turned out that the dance was a ritual. But the sacrifice of this ritual which was sacrifice one"s own soul.
I said, “Anyway, at lest their soul fragments are still exist, maybe they would reborn or buried.”
Red dressed woman maybe saw Huang Xiaolong had been listen to me. So she finally turned her head to me and disdainful said, “soul fragments reincarnation could only be a few low-level animals, so death was better than this. As for buried, come on, don"t you know people live along coast buried in the sea?”
Then I was speechless, just only watching villagers who had walked into the sea. Although many villagers could swim, but when they got into the sea, it seemed that they couldn"t swim. A lot of people were struggling in the sea. Expect one kid who was a few years old, he was so short that he had already been struggling in sea even though he was in the rear part of the line.
The guys behind the kid just ignored him, they just kept moving, and pus.h.i.+ng the struggling child into a deeper place.
Were there really only soul fragments? I was thrilling what I saw. And Huang Xiaolong said heavily to red dressed woman, “I don"t know why you help me. But could you help me once again? Just help them. please.”
Red dressed woman looked affectionately at the Huang Xiaolong and stroking Huang Xiaolong"s cheek with her hands. Then she said, “You don"t have to know why I help you and you don"t have to know who I am. And then you just need know only one thing.”
Red dressed woman was slowly approaching Huang Xiaolong. After a while, she kissed Huang Xiaolong on his lips.
After a period of time, red dressed woman reluctantly separates Huang Xiaolong and smiled, “You just need to know that I would do anything you asked.”
