On the north bank of the Suzi River at night, near the Tokso Ferry.
Ye Na caught up with Yuan Qingying and asked, "Are you really going to leave that kid behind?"
"Just to scare him. Otherwise, he won't follow us obediently. Subduing him will be of great benefit to Daming. It's worth our effort, "Yuan Qingying said.
But after half an hour, the two girls came back. "Oh no, the kid is gone."
Half an hour ago, Zhou Qingfeng was at a loss when he was abandoned on the bank of the Suzi River. It was so dark that he couldn't tell north from south. All he could hear was the sound of the Suzi River flowing beside his ears. He turned left and right and was so anxious that he was sweating. Releasing Chu Ying could be considered as giving Nurhachi a lot of trouble. Although he didn't get the Primordial True Essence, the Meridian Severing Spell could be considered as regaining his freedom.
Now that he was finally out of Hetuala, the two girls had actually left Zhou Qingfeng behind during this victory escape. If Nurhachi sent someone to chase after him, he would have nowhere to run.
Countless torches were lit up in Hetuala City. Although he couldn't see it with his own eyes, he could feel that Chu Ying was causing chaos everywhere in the city. He had to escape as soon as possible.
To my left is the Suzi River, to the south is the city of Hetuala, and to the west is the road to Fushun. The city is in chaos, and Nurhachi will soon send someone to block the road. I can't outrun four legs. So I have to go north for a distance to avoid them. But the north is a mountain range, and it won't be easy to get out.
Zhou Qingfeng had no choice but to move north as he imagined. He took out his transformation wand and activated the remaining spiritual power in it as a light source. He stumbled towards the "north" for a few hundred meters. There seemed to be some light in the distance, like a flickering bonfire. He guessed that there might be someone there, so he braced himself and walked forward.
After walking for more than ten minutes, Zhou Qingfeng noticed that there were more and more 'flames'. As he groped his way through the darkness, a gust of chilly wind blew past. Only then did he realize that what he saw was not a bonfire, but a phosphorescence, or in other words, a will-o '-the-wisp.
This was the valley to the north of Torkso Ferry. It was also a mass grave where the corpses of coolies and slaves were dumped. The valley was overgrown with weeds and was lifeless. Wisps of phosphorescence drifted out continuously in the middle of the night. It was extremely eerie and terrifying, and there were even ghostly creatures shuttling about.
"F * ck, this is really a case of when it rains, it pours. I'm so unlucky." Zhou Qingfeng immediately raised his wand and turned to leave. But as he passed by a patch of grass, he stepped on something hard. He tripped and fell to the ground, dropping his wand. There was even a cry of pain coming from the bushes, scaring Zhou Qingfeng so much that his hair stood on end. He wanted nothing more than to break into a run.
Zhou Qingfeng turned around and saw a person sitting up in the bushes. Without waiting for him to scream, the man picked up the fallen wand and lit up the surroundings. Zhou Qingfeng saw a dirty fellow. It was thin and small, with a black face. It was hard to tell whether it was a human or a ghost. When the fellow saw Zhou Qingfeng, it let out a long sigh and said, "Ah … Bro, it's you!"
Hearing this ghost-like person call him 'bro' in the middle of the night, Zhou Qingfeng felt a chill run down his spine. He wanted to jump up and run. But the person moved its face closer to the wand and revealed a bitter smile. It said softly, "Bro, don't be afraid. I can't hurt you. "
Zhou Qingfeng heard the calm voice and calmed down. He looked carefully and vaguely recognized the person. "You're … Mao Ada's wife?"
The person in front of him was sitting in the mud and was as thin as a stick. Her legs were curled up unnaturally and one of her hands dangled under her arm. Zhou Qingfeng had just stepped on her bony leg and fell. He asked, "What happened to you?"
"I can't do any work. The foreman broke my leg and hand. They left me here and waited for me to die. " The woman was like the last radiance of a setting sun. She happily said to Zhou Qingfeng, "To be able to see bro before I die, it's my good fortune from my previous life."
If anyone else saw a person who was about to die, they would definitely curse their bad luck. Seeing Zhou Qingfeng only sigh in relief in front of this pitiful woman, his heart was filled with sorrow. He sighed deeply and said, "I'm sorry. I can't even protect myself right now. I can't save you."
"Bro, you're very lucky. You'll definitely be fine. I don't want to live anymore. It's good that I'm dead. "The woman comforted Zhou Qingfeng instead.
"Hehehe … Thank you for your auspicious words." Zhou Qingfeng didn't have much confidence in himself. He took a deep breath and asked, "Why hasn't your man come to pick you up?"
"He doesn't want me anymore. He even sold his own child. Why would he want me? He was chosen by the master in the city and got rich. He left me outside. "
"How could he be so cruel? You're his wife. You gave birth to his child. He should take care of you. "
"Maybe we poor people have hard lives." After saying a few words, the woman suddenly raised her voice and begged, "Bro, I want to ask you for a favor."
"I …" Zhou Qingfeng hesitated, but he couldn't bear to refuse a person who was about to die. "Tell me. I'll do whatever I can to help you. If I can't, don't blame me. "
The woman smiled. Her dark face smiled. "I want to see my Haodan. He was sold to that guy who was neither human nor ghost. It was because of this that I quarreled with my child's father for the first time in my life. But I could only watch him sell my child. I couldn't do anything. I'm about to die, but I still miss my child. I want to see him. "
As he listened, Zhou Qingfeng's nose turned sour and tears flowed out of his eyes. As a mother, she still couldn't bear to part with her child. She still missed him even when she was about to die. He looked left and right and said to the woman with difficulty, "I can help you find him, but I don't know where your child is. When I have time to find him, I'll bring him to see you. "
"I know where my child is …" Hearing that Zhou Qingfeng was willing to help, the woman smiled in relief and was extremely happy. Her finger pointed to the depths of the valley. "I saw him in there. I saw him fighting with the ghosts in the valley. Really, this child always likes to fight with people. "
When the woman said this, she had exhausted all her strength. Her voice became softer and softer. After a while, she slowly fell down and lay motionless in the haystack. Zhou Qingfeng's tears began to flow uncontrollably. It was useless no matter how hard he tried to wipe them. He picked up the magic wand and found that there wasn't much spiritual energy left in it. The light source wouldn't last long either.
"Motherf * cker, why do I have to encounter such sad things every time?" Zhou Qingfeng cursed loudly as he cried. He looked in the direction of Hetuala. The city had been sealed, but he could hear the rumbling of horse hooves in the direction of the city gate. He didn't know if it was the people who wanted to arrest Chu Ying. In any case, Zhou Qingfeng didn't want to go there.
On the other side was a valley with mass graves. A pitiful mother begged him to go there to find her lost child. This kind of valley where a lot of people died was usually full of ghosts and was full of danger.
Zhou Qingfeng raised his magic wand and looked up at the sky. He shouted, "Ancestors, can you do me a favor? I've tried so hard to become stronger. Can you not make me so weak? It's hard for me to survive in this dog-eat-dog world! "
The sky was gloomy and didn't respond.
"Even if you don't give me any benefits, at least point me in the right direction. Which way should I go? "Zhou Qingfeng continued to shout at the sky. His shout echoed in the valley. After a while, something rushed in from outside the valley. He didn't have time to identify it and ran into the valley.
"Motherf * cker, it's a wolf." Zhou Qingfeng turned his head as he ran. Under the light of his magic wand, he saw a wolf behind him. The wolf's appearance was very strange. Its fur had fallen off, and its flesh was black. One of its legs was only left with a skeleton. This was a rotting wolf, an undead creature.
The rotting wolf didn't run very fast, but it followed closely behind Zhou Qingfeng. As Zhou Qingfeng ran, the sound of his movements became louder and louder. More and more ghosts were alerted in the valley. While weeds, branches, and mud were blocking his way, there were also ghosts, skeletons, and unknown monsters popping out of nowhere. They followed behind Zhou Qingfeng, the only living thing in the area.
"Ancestors, are you really going to watch me die?" Seeing the number of demons and ghosts behind him increasing, Zhou Qingfeng could not help but cry out bitterly. But now, he had no other choice but to run forward. He crawled, ran, and floated behind him. Any one of them could be a nightmare for a normal person.
After running a hundred meters into the valley, Zhou Qingfeng's short legs couldn't run fast. When he reached an open area, he suddenly saw a shadow rushing towards him at an incredible speed. Zhou Qingfeng hurriedly stopped and tried to turn around. The shadow seemed to be afraid of him, and the light from his magic wand also stopped.
When Zhou Qingfeng stopped, the hundreds of ghosts behind him surrounded him. Among them were living corpses with rotten flesh, hungry ghosts with their mouths wide open, and ghosts without arms, legs, or heads. Ghost Shadow, who had just charged at him, was also baring its fangs and brandishing its claws at him.
Zhou Qingfeng turned around in a panic, but he was blocked in all directions. Among the ghosts in front of him, the most impulsive one was the ghost shadow. It was a ghost child that was half a head shorter than Zhou Qingfeng, and it had a terrifying face.
"Hairy Egg?" Zhou Qingfeng recognized the ghost child with a withered body. Wasn't this the Hairy Egg that the ghost cultivator Jia Gang had refined into a ghost child? When Hairy Egg heard Zhou Qingfeng's shout, he tilted his head and looked at him in confusion. Obviously, he couldn't recognize Zhou Qingfeng anymore.
Zhou Qingfeng's magic wand had exhausted its spiritual power. The heart-shaped wand flickered a few times before extinguishing.
F * ck …!
Without the light, the various ghosts that had surrounded Zhou Qingfeng let out hissing sounds and staggered their way towards Zhou Qingfeng. Even Hairy Egg saw Zhou Qingfeng as a delicious blood meal. He opened his claws and was about to pounce on him to eat. Zhou Qingfeng had nowhere to run, so he could only shout, "Hairy Egg, your mother is dying. She wants to see you one last time."
Hairy Egg was the fastest. His refined claws had already reached Zhou Qingfeng's neck. But when he heard Zhou Qingfeng's words, he suddenly stopped. Hairy Egg wasn't the only one who stopped. Even the densely packed ghosts in the surroundings stopped when they heard the cry.
The valley of the mass grave became quiet … Hairy Egg took two steps back and slowly retracted his attacking claws. He looked at Zhou Qingfeng blankly and asked, "Mother? Where is Mother? I want to find Mother. Hairy Egg is so scared. There are so many scary ghosts here. They come to bully me every day. "
The heavens took pity on him. This child also missed his mother.
