C2 Murdering the Village
That night, Ye Zhifa lay quietly on the bed as usual, allowing his thoughts to linger in his mind.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves could be heard from outside the door.
Ye Zhifa hurriedly got up from the bed and ran to the window to take a look. Only then did he realize that under the cover of the night, more than ten cavalry wearing black armor rushed into the village in the form of dragons.
Although each of these riders had a torch in their hands, the black armor seemed to have absorbed all the light, making them look like evil spirits that had taken over the world.
"Where are the people in this village? Come out!"
The leading cavalryman's voice was deep and vigorous, and there was a sense of pressure in his tone. After he shouted a few words, the villagers who were standing at the window and looking around could only walk out of their houses.
Ye Zhifa, on the other hand, had a few more thoughts. At this time, he hesitated at the window. He did not know if he should go out or not. When he hesitated, he heard Uncle Wang, who was passing by the window, quietly pass him a sentence. It stopped him from going out.
"Ye Zi, don't come out. Run if you can."
Why did he run? Did Uncle Wang notice something was wrong?
Ye Zhifa wanted to ask a few more questions, but Uncle Wang had already walked to where the cavalry had stopped. He could only wait by the window and look around.
Seeing the villagers standing in front of him in a dark mass, the cavalry leader nodded in satisfaction, then took off his helmet and held it in his hand.
Ye Zhifa saw it clearly. This person had a square face. Although he had a smile on his face, it always made a bone-chilling malicious intent seep out of his eyes.
"Cough cough, I am Shen Zhaoxi, Flatten Demonic Horseman's vanguard commander."
After clearing his throat, Shen Zhaoxi told them what they wanted to do today. "Yesterday, a comet fell to the ground and shocked the sky, so His Majesty ordered me to patrol this place. Does anyone here know where the comet landed? "
Shen Zhaoxi's eyes swept back and forth between the villagers like a sharp arrow. After a long while, a bold villager said, "Lord... the comet you are talking about, is it something that suddenly exploded yesterday?"
"That's right. The comet is over there. Do you know where the comet landed?"
Although the villager did not go to the small hill with Uncle Wang yesterday, he had gone to watch the show with the others later on. He pointed in the direction Shen Zhaoxi was pointing with his trembling hands.
Shen Zhaoxi was overjoyed when he heard that. He directly sent two cavalry to investigate the place where the explosion happened. The black horse that the cavalry rode came and went like the wind, and in a short while, the two cavalry returned. However, the news that they brought back made Shen Zhaoxi unhappy.
"Look carefully, there is only a big pit there?"
"Yes, my lord, where the comet fell, there is only a bright and clean hole. There is nothing in the hole."
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhaoxi's brows furrowed. Among the orders he had received this time, there was one that told him to bring back the object that fell from the sky!
"Have you seen anything in the hole?"
After Shen Zhaoxi asked a few times, he realized that the villagers were shaking their heads and denying it. He could not help but become anxious. His tone could no longer maintain the pretense of friendliness.
"Are you trying to tell me that no one has seen anything in the pit?"
Shen Zhaoxi's power was exposed. Finally, one of the villagers could not stand his pressure and spoke a few more words.
"Master... You can ask Yezi. He was the first one to see the pit!"
"Little Zhang, what are you talking about? Didn't Yezi tell us that he did not see anything in the big pit?"
Shen Zhaoxi's finger moved slightly. Little Zhang, who had spoken first, and Uncle Wang, who had tried to stop him, were pulled out of the crowd by an invisible force.
"Yezi... Where is he? Say it out and you will be rewarded."
Little Zhang wanted to say more, but Uncle Wang took it and covered his mouth.
"You are so stubborn. You still want to fight me?"
Little Zhang was trying his best to open Uncle Wang's hands that were covering his mouth, but he felt a heat on his face. Then, he found that the strength in Uncle Wang's hands had disappeared. When he looked again, he realized that Uncle Wang's head had already flown into the sky. Only a headless corpse was left standing in front of him, and it instantly let out a loud cry.
"What are you shouting for? I'm asking you, where is that person called Ye Zi? I can't answer you, but you're going to be a headless ghost."
Under Shen Zhaoxi's threat, Little Zhang quickly stopped shouting and pointed at Ye Zhifa's hut.
Immediately, a cavalry was sent over. However, after he broke through the door and entered, he realized that the hut was empty and not a single person was inside.
"You actually dare to run? Can you run? Wang Lin, the rest of the fellows are worthless. Let them be quiet. But this guy... " Shen Zhaoxi first turned his head and gave an order to his deputy, then pointed at Little Zhang and said," Take this guy away. After all, I said I would reward him. Hahaha! "
After a few laughs, Shen Zhaoxi led half of the cavalry and rushed into the darkness where Ye Zhifa might have escaped. The remaining half of the cavalry quietly pulled out the swords and sabers at their waists.
At first, the villagers did not understand Shen Zhaoxi's final order, but when the first person died under Flatten Demonic Horseman's sword, they understood what Shen Zhaoxi meant.
He wanted to silence the villagers and carry out a massacre in the village!
Instantly, endless wails and curses were heard. It entered into the ears of every Flatten Demonic Horseman on the scene, and also into the ears of Ye Zhifa, who was running wildly.
From the moment he heard Shen Zhaoxi asking about the comet, the alarm in Ye Zhifa's heart kept ringing. In addition to Uncle Wang's words from the beginning, he did not think much and escaped from the back window.
At this time, the moon and stars were sparse. Under the moonlight, Ye Zhifa did not know where to go. He only knew to keep running until the screams of the villagers could be heard from afar.
Although he did not know that Uncle Wang, who loved him the most, had become the first victim, he also knew that something terrible must have happened in the village.
Ye Zhifa bit his lower lip with all his might and finally stopped himself from shouting. He took a step forward and his legs, which had stopped at some point, continued to run towards the mountain behind the village.
After running for a while, another sound entered his ears, but this time it was the sound of the horse hooves that were rushing for his life.
Flatten Demonic Horseman did not find any trace of him. He could only search blindly in this generation. However, the horse was fast and the horse was slow. They would catch up to Ye Zhifa sooner or later.
At this moment of life and death, Ye Zhifa quickly made a decision. Instead of running and waiting for death, he might as well take the risk and ask for a chance to live!
There was a Angry Cang River near the village. It was one of the few large rivers in the West Jin Kingdom, and there was a waterfall at the back of the village that led straight to the Angry Cang River!
Currently, the waterfall was not far from Ye Zhifa's position. If he wanted to live, he could only rely on this gamble!
Under his desire for life, Ye Zhifa used a speed that far exceeded his imagination and ran to the front of the waterfall.
The water flow of the waterfall was already rapid, and the night seemed even more terrifying. At this moment, Ye Zhifa could no longer hear the cries of the villagers. He could only hear the surging water and the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer.
Thinking of Uncle Wang and the other villagers' smiles and voices, and how he wanted to transmigrate to the other world, where he was at a loss and helpless, and how he had to rely on them to survive until today, Ye Zhifa could not help but feel a pain in his heart.
However, at this moment, Ye Zhifa could no longer tolerate the feelings of a girl. He took a deep breath and looked back at the small village, which had already lit up, and plunged into the water.
The water flow of this waterfall was far more powerful than Ye Zhifa had expected. After tumbling in the water a few times, he lost consciousness and could only allow the waves to take him far away.
Not long after Ye Zhifa jumped like a waterfall, Flatten Demonic Horseman's pursuers followed the sound and came here. They only saw the rapid water flow and not a shadow.
"Not good, this brat jumped into the water and escaped. Master, what should we do next? Should we send a warrant to arrest him?"
"This matter cannot be made public. If someone finds out about it, it will be bad. We can only send someone we can trust to find him. "
At this moment, the words Shen Zhaoxi squeezed out from the corner of his mouth were filled with coldness.
