Chapter 51
###51 Torn Bone and Cracked Heart
After returning to Qixia Mountain from Dongting Lake, Ye Xiaolou locked himself in the Arctic Pavilion and did not allow anyone to disturb him.Ye Ling couldn't figure out how he knew that Xiaoyu was not in the mountain, and when he knew that Xiaoyu was dying.

But it was all her fault, and the grounding was just because Ye Xiaolou had no interest in dealing with Ye Ling at the moment.

Two whole days had passed and he was indifferent to everything.The city of Suishan was closed to the public, and as soon as the moon was full tomorrow, the people in the city became more murderous. Every household wore linen and wore mourning.The living people gathered around Wangyou Lake to remember their dead family members.His eyes were full of hatred, as if killing the red-scaled beast would avenge his family.

Only those families who secretly sent a dying child into the lake and welcomed back a living child secretly closed the door tightly, trembling like thieves who stole something.

The women covered their windows with cloth and did not dare to speak loudly at home. They just held their children in their arms, for fear that the children would suddenly disappear in their arms if they did not pay attention.

Looking at those children, although they were the same in appearance and shape as before, they still had a creepy aura, and the smell was really creepy.

Those children gasped "Hmph, hum, hum", and while they were panting, they were running around on all fours on the ground like wild beasts in the house, which became more and more weird as the night went on.

At dawn, when he saw the food, he ate it like a hungry wolf.After eating, I vomited it all out at once.At the beginning, the family was still immersed in joy. At least the child was alive, which was more important than anything else.It's not like they haven't secretly gone to other people's homes to see the children returning from the lake. They always feel that eating more and staying up in the middle of the night is not a big deal.

Too many people died in every household, and the death of a child was the most unbearable thing.

But the smell is a bit unpleasant.The women comforted each other.Yes, who would object to their children smelling bad?

Yes, I was just greedy. How could I not be hungry after being sick for so many days?

Yeah yeah.Just comforting each other, pretending it was just normal things.

While the men secretly went to the lake to perform illegal rituals, the women cooked meals at home, fearing that their children would clamor for food when they came back.

Eat, eat, eat as much food as you have at home. In this year of famine, it is good to be alive.

These families knew they had committed illegal acts and received undeserved lives, but how could they give up so easily?They were all cautious and secretly hid the child at home, keeping a close eye on them, fearing that the life they had finally stolen from the King of Hell would be taken back.

Since we learned about the lockdown, we have locked our doors tightly and stayed up all night.But the smell on the child's body was getting stronger and stronger, and he was afraid that the smell would get through the cracks in the window and get out of the house, so he soaked all the clothes and usable cloth at home and stuck them on the window.

Even so, the fear in their hearts and the fear in front of them made them lose their shape like ghosts in two or three days.

On one side are the cries of celebrating the killing of the alien beasts, and on the other side are the low and sinister voices of sprites.

But Ye Xiaolou didn't seem to know anything, went to the palace to pick up Ye Xiaoyu and returned to Qixia Mountain, lost his vitality, coughed a few times, and finally spit out a mouthful of blood on the bed curtain.

"He is really my good son." The voice was like a silver bell.

"Mom, I will explain it to you when I recover."

"Explanation? In the Suishan incident, Shangwu Sect and Xiao Yu have ruined a big thing, but you went to Dongting Lake to provoke those two bug-catching goblins. I have always trusted you. When you were eight years old, I turned the mirror to All matters in the building are left to you to handle. Look at what you are like now - you have been careless many times.

Now you want to let that boy Xiao Yu sit on the throne of the prince safely, and then try your best to drag him down?If you are too playful and careful, you will lose everything. "

"Mother? It's not what you think. Xiao Jin will definitely win the position of prince and will not fall into the hands of Princess Qi. Mother, please let me rest first. My son knows what he is doing. It is not what you think. , Xiao Jin and Shang Wumen are just..."

Ye Xiaolou coughed hard for a while, and swallowed back what he was going to say.

For a moment, he felt incredible that he didn't even believe his mother.

Maybe it's not a bad thing that no one believes it. As for the mother, the less she knows, the better off she will be.

The moon is full, and the full moon is coming soon.

"Mom, you can't move around for the past two days. You should take good care of yourself."

"I'm fed up. I've been waiting for 20 years. It's been 20 years. I'm fed up with the pain that tears my bones and my heart apart every month. I'm fed up with those useless medicines. When I get better, I'm going to go to hospital. Kunlun asked, why do we have to live in a dark place from generation to generation, but we are like monsters, and when we achieve enlightenment, we are regarded as evil spirits. We are obviously superior beings, but why can't we even ask for equality?

You don't understand, you don't understand.You were a kid and you didn't understand anything.not understand. "

The branches didn't even dare to move. Even though the mountain wind was blowing hard, not a single leaf dared to move. They were all immersed in the fear of annihilation and the eternal sorrow.

Night will come.

There is always one night that is colder and more death-like than the other nights that drive people crazy.

Qingying's sword rose into the air, its blade pointing directly at Ye Xiaolou. The sword's light was so bright that it made people unable to open their eyes.Any evil spirit will be frightened by Qingying.

One day, this sword will stab him, pierce his chest, and his body and soul will be shattered.

There was another mouthful of blood, thicker and deeper than before.

"Mother, no one in this world is more trustworthy than me. If you can still count on others, I can leave the mirror and go upstairs."

"Are you threatening me?"

"The son dare not, the son only knows to tell the truth."

Ye Xiaolou has nothing to do, Xiaoyu is about to die, and if he doesn't save her, he will be unable to save her.

As for his mother, he should have been able to help him. Although his mother's medical skills are difficult to heal on this land, they are more useful to Xiaoyu than any other doctor.

But I can't tell my mother, and I can't let Xiaoyu know about her mother.

At least temporarily—not yet.

He stood up with support, stretched out his arms, and faced the Qingying sword hanging majestically in the air with the sound of wind.

Let’s try it again today, Qingying.

The edge of the sword and the strength of the palm are in a stalemate.It seems that neither side has moved, but the moves have changed more than 20 times.

Still no distinction between top and bottom.

The Qingying sword reflected in Ye Xiaolou's eyes, except for the blue and clear starlight, there was nothing else.The turquoise blue gradually faded into a Milky Way as bright as day.

Instantly, Qingying Sword disappeared.

“It’s just the shadow of a sword.

Without Xiye here, can I really not control you?Is the Qingying Divine Sword just a puppet controlled by another Kunlun divine object? "There was no trace of sadness in Ye Xiaolou's tone, but rather some sympathy and pity.

It seems that your fate and mine are somewhat similar.

Thinking of this, he laughed. No one could laugh when his body was in such pain.

Bone-breaking, heart-wrenching, funny, really funny.
