There were two hunchbacked old men standing at the door. They were hunchbacked and had white hair. The two of them supported each other.
"Little brother, did you see two children on the way here? A boy and a girl, about seven or eight years old.”
Li Xuan shook his head.
The old man did not give up. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said,
"Little brother, when we went back to the village at noon, it suddenly rained heavily. In the end, we didn't notice that our granddaughter and grandson were separated. We went to look for them in the afternoon but couldn't find them. If we can't find them, how are we going to explain to my son?”
"I'll be careful. If I meet them, I'll definitely bring them back to you.”Li Xuan answered truthfully.
He had indeed not seen any children along the way. When he met them later, he would do such a small thing casually.
The two old men thanked each other and helped each other out.
With a sigh, Li Xuan returned to his room.
The room was separated by a wooden plank. The two women were on one side, while Li Xuan and another man were on the other. Li Xuan didn't mind at all. This was much better than sleeping in the wilderness. He sat cross-legged on the bed and continued to practice Sword Twenty-two. This River God Temple was very strange, and it was likely that tonight would not be peaceful.
Seeing Li Xuan sitting cross-legged on the bed, the other man's eyes lit up.
In the main hall of the River God Temple.
Wang Dao was disinfecting the knife with fire and preparing to remove the bullet from Yang Li's body. Yang Li's wife was holding her son and watching worriedly.
Yang Li woke up from his coma when he felt the sharp pain of the knife stabbing into his flesh. When he opened his eyes and saw Wang Dao, he shouted in surprise,""Brother Wang…"
"Don't move, we're taking the bullets. Sigh, I told you not to come here. Why didn't you listen? Leave at dawn.”
" I see…" Yang Li replied weakly," Oh, Brother Wang, the young man who sent us here…"
"I've already told him to leave.”Wang Dao smiled bitterly."
" Brother Wang, he's saving our lives…" Yang Li's wife chimed in.
"That's why I warned him!" Wang Dao interrupted Yang Li's wife." Unfortunately, he didn't listen. Like those people who were hiding from the rain, we don't even know if he's dead or alive tonight."”
Yang Li was silent for a while before he struggled to get up and grabbed Wang Dao's hand, begging,""Brother Wang, I'm begging you!"
"This isn't about saving them. Things are different now. Even I might not be able to protect your family. Besides, they are like old people who have fallen. No one can help them up.”
Yang Li heard the determination in her voice and didn't say much. He whispered,""That little brother should be able to deal with those things with his martial arts skills…"
" What's the use of martial arts?" Wang Dao sneered." Can it really hurt those ghosts?" Moreover, the little brother who saved you is not a good person. I can see his disregard for life and the strange power in his body…"
Hearing this, Yang Li recalled the men in black who had been dismembered in the pavilion without any change in expression. He was speechless.
"But the man in the group of university students is kind-hearted and has a clear gaze. Sigh, what a pity…what a pity…why didn't he listen to the old man's advice?”
At this moment, Wang Dao felt a gust of cold wind. He immediately carried Yang Li on his back.
"Damn it, how did they get here so quickly! We have to leave quickly. It's too late if we don't leave now!”
———————————————————
Zhang San watched everything from the clouds. He watched the two children die from the evil energy. He watched the group of university students, except for the man who was protected by a force, the two women were also covered in evil energy, not to mention the old couple. He watched the people who came out of the ancient tomb in the north, watched Wang Dao carry Yang Li and leave with the mother and son, watched the pile of paper carts stop at the entrance of the temple, watched the ink-like evil energy rising from the village in the distance... He was waiting. What kind of fish could he catch…
It was the third watch of the night, and the moon in the sky was already covered by black clouds. Suddenly, the books around the River God Temple were rustled by a gust of wind.
Li Xuan and the male university student didn't sleep, nor did the two female university students next door. The cracks in the wooden planks revealed a faint light, and the old couple weren't asleep either. They could faintly hear soft sobs.
The river also surged, as if something had woken up.
Suddenly, the sound of carriages came from outside the River God Temple. Could it be that someone had come to stay for the night again?
After a while, there was a commotion in the small courtyard. There were men and women, old and young. Some were carrying red suitcases, some were hugging red quilts, and some were carrying red basins. This seemed to be a wedding…a happy event?
The people in the small courtyard were busy picking up the bride. A few young women in bridesmaid dresses welcomed the bride in a white wedding dress. The groom in a black suit directed everyone in and out.
Li Xuan, the male university student, and the old couple walked out when they heard the sound and looked at everything in surprise.
"Aiya! I'm really sorry, everyone. We are the bridal escort team from the neighboring village. Due to the heavy rain, the mountain road is slippery, and the car can't get out. We have no choice but to come here. It's really presumptuous to disturb you.”A bridesmaid came out and explained.
Li Xuan found this amusing as he turned around and entered the house.
The male university student looked at everything in front of him and silently returned to his room. However, he went to the female university student's side.
When the old couple heard the bridesmaid say that she was from outside, they hurriedly asked,"Little girl, did you see a boy and a girl when you came? They looked like they were seven or eight years old.”
"The two children you mentioned?”The bridesmaid's eyes lit up." We happened to see two children crying by the roadside, so we picked them up and brought them over. We were just wondering which family they were from."”
The old couple was overjoyed and quickly asked,""Where is it? Bring us there!”
The bridesmaid smiled strangely." Please follow me. They're in the car outside the temple. I'll take you to see them."”
After saying that, the bridesmaid brought the old couple out of the small courtyard.
Li Xuan took a glance and shook his head. He closed the door and the noise outside quieted down. Then, he sat cross-legged on the bed and prepared to fight with his sword.
The male university student went to the female university student and told her not to go out. That group of people was not human. Immediately, a cry of surprise came from the next room.
"It's raining heavily today, but there's no mud on their shoes! There were no traces on his body. Don't go out. Forget it, I'll stay here with you.”
