Sigh, moan, moan, ” The culling song resounded in every corner of the desolate mountain.
The forty-nine ice-cold bells of the Underworld Banner rang in You'er's mind like a call for life. Old Yellow Dog's eyelids drooped as he watched Wandering Child skillfully remove the raw meat and bones with a small knife. The air was filled with the stench of earth corpses, and Wandering Child stuffed the peeled raw meat into a black cloth bag and hung it around Old Yellow's neck.
”My son!” The person who heard the miserable wail was heartbroken. Wandering by the river, she squatted down and focused on washing her hands to get the blood. The old yellow dog lay at her feet, watching the water soak her hand as pale as a corpse.
”Wu!” The old yellow dog suddenly stood up in alarm and tensed itself up towards the back, its shed tail sticking out. It wasn't very fierce, but it still had the appearance of a vicious dog.
Someone came. It was a man, shaking his head and supporting himself on the waist. He stretched out his tongue and gasped, ”Hey, I'll talk.”
”You Duan'er turned around and glanced at him, then raised her head and looked at the sun in the sky. Oh, that's right, today is cloudy.” ”What are you looking at?” The man raised his head as well. The sun was blocked by thick clouds. It was a rare cool day.
You Duan'er narrowed her eyes at him. ”Is something the matter?” The man had his hands on his waist, he was so tired that he was panting. With a glance at the river, he felt smoke rising from his throat. ”Let me drink some water first.”
The river was cold, and the man was a rough man who had drunk his fill. The old yellow dog took two steps back to avoid the man's splashing water.
You Zou'er stared at him with interest. The man climbed up, the water in his hair flowing down his face, looking rather awkward. Lost, ”the man said bluntly.” Please show me the way. ”
The old yellow dog snorted as if it was laughing at him. A strange smile appeared on the corners of You Zui's mouth as he asked, ”Where are you going?” Where to? The man frowned as he thought about it for a long time. This was weird, but he still couldn't recall anything. Could it be that a river had flooded his brain? The man shook his head. He might be able to remember if he threw the water out.
You Duan'er patted Old Yellow's back and said, ”Don't worry, slowly think about it. There are many people who lost their memories on this mountain.” Hearing this, the man's temper flared. He waved his fist and said, ”I'm Xuan Hong, the yellow hue of heaven and earth, the Hong Kong of the Hengtu River!”
You Duan'er was obviously not listening. She was hungry, so she had to eat something.
Xuan Hong felt that this woman was rather shameless. She had been staring at him for such a long time. You Duan'er seemed to be getting impatient, as he turned around and walked back. Xuan Hong quickly followed him.
He forgot where he was going, but remembered how many roads he had taken in this desolate place. All of them led to the underworld, and even if it wasn't a cliff, there were poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts. At the moment, this woman looked a bit sinister.
”You Duan'er looked back and saw him following her. He didn't say anything, just kept walking forward with his head covered.” With a whoosh, black birds flew over their heads, screaming. Xuan Hong's eyebrows scrunched together. ”There's something up ahead.” He rubbed his nose and continued walking.
Xuan Hong was stunned. Not only was this woman shameless, she was even so reckless!
Miserable screams reverberated in the wilderness, incessantly causing one's heart to tremble.
You Duan'er quietly poked her head out from behind a big rock. Xuan Hong followed behind her and felt very embarrassed. ”Can you not rush forward?” You Duan'er curled her lips and kicked him out.
