Another Life: Elf Archer

Light flew out from people's raised hands. .zhetian.

Light gathers, condenses, and flows above people's heads, hanging on the edge of the suddenly darkening sun, like a waterfall of light pouring down, hollowing out the brilliance of the scorching sun.

The flowing waterfall of light gradually boiled, and no sound was heard, but the four people looking up seemed to hear the roar of light.

The people kneeling on the ground lowered themselves lower and lower, their faces deeply imprinted on the yellow earth. Their raised hands trembled towards the river of light, like struggling drowning people.

Boiling light dripped down from the sky, turning into a trickle in the blink of an eye. It seemed to have a direction, but also seemed to have no direction. It disappeared somewhere in the city, and it seemed not far from here.

The bell rang again, first like thunder, then gradually faded away, taking away the light above people's heads and returning the bright sunshine to the sky.

Several people in the year were still in shock when they suddenly saw the crowd jumping up from the ground like boiling water, picking up sharp-edged stones from the ground, picking up wooden sticks as thick as arms from the roadside, and lifting them from the table. The kitchen knife shone with cold light, shouting loudly for God Hu's blessing, and ran towards somewhere with the same goal.

Seeing the same hatred and anger on everyone's faces, the four of them were stunned again.

"What happened?"

Nian Nian was about to stop someone to ask, but fortunately Qi Youfeng had quick eyes and quick hands and pulled Nian Nian back, thus avoiding a stampede accident.

Looking at Nian Nian to see how old he is, and looking at San Chi Shui, the two of them also looked confused.

"Let's go and take a look," Sanchishui asked, looking at the streets that suddenly became empty, pointing at the smoke and dust going away.

The four people who had this intention walked through the intersection and saw several other Xingtianxia players. They seemed to be attracted by the inexplicable riots among the people in the city and wanted to follow them to find out what happened.

As they walked, Nian Nian recognized the direction they were heading.In the distance, there were faint curses and roars from the crowd.She listened, and all she could make out in the hustle and bustle of voices was the word "Hu Shen", and vaguely the words "Sinner" and "Sinner".

"Isn't this where we enter the city?" Nian Nian frowned and asked in a low voice as he looked at the dark crowd appearing at the edge of his field of vision.

Shi Sui looked at the crazy crowd in front of him and stopped everyone: "These people should not be in the mood to explain to us right now. Let's get out of the way first."

Even if they didn't have good eyesight like Nian Nian, everyone could still see the crowd blocking the entire street. Just by the sound, there seemed to be tens of thousands of people.The people on the periphery clearly couldn't squeeze in, but they were all waving wooden sticks and short sticks in their hands. The sharp screams sounded to them like they were filled with blood, condensing into three words dripping with blood: Kill him.

Everyone shuddered, thinking of what would happen if their small team of ten people forced themselves on.

Nian Nian used his tree-climbing skills neatly and quickly, and in a few moments he ran to the earth wall that was as high as one person beside him. He looked at the other people below who were stunned and said, "I'll go over and take a look first."

"do not"

Shi Sui and Qi Youfeng shouted in unison, so frightened that Nian Nian almost tripped his own feet.

"Come down, let's wait." Shi Sui made a prompt decision, and Qi Youfeng had already extended his hand to Nian Nian.

Most of the time, Nian Nian is not a willful person.She looked regretfully towards the crowd in the distance, then climbed down the wall with a frown on her face.

"Those people seemed to be throwing things into the open space in the middle of the crowd." Nian Nian described what he saw, and frowned when he saw Sui Sui.

"Do you know what they are doing?" Nian Nian asked quickly.

Shi Sui shook his head and motioned for everyone to wait where they were.

After about 10 minutes, the angry people gradually dispersed. Everyone had a look of contempt on their faces, and more people were relieved and smiling.When they saw the outsiders like Nian Nian nearby, many people blushed with shame, as if they had seen some embarrassing scene for Nian Nian. They bowed respectfully when passing by. Then he lowered his head and hurried away.

A few people in Nian Nian happened to be standing next to a wooden cart selling Elaeagnus angustifolia. The old man who owned the cart came back and looked a little blushing. He was carrying a bag full of fresh Elaeagnus angustifolia and enthusiastically asked everyone to grab a handful. When they refused, they were so anxious that they were sweating profusely, and they kept chanting, "Sin, sin, sin, God bless Hu God, bless Hu God."

Several people in Nian Nian couldn't resist, and they couldn't figure out why the car owner was anxious, so they all grabbed the dates, put them to their mouths and took a bite under the expectant eyes of the car owner.

Seeing that everyone had eaten Elaeagnus angustifolia with a look of satisfaction on their faces, the car owner began to rub his hands nervously again.

"Guests from afar, we the Khawari philosophers are the most devout followers of God Hu, and we are also the most hospitable people in the desert. You must not be influenced by some blasphemers and think of us as bad people. .”

The car owner spoke sincerely, as if he was afraid that his words were unconvincing, and hurriedly handed a handful of Elaeagnus to Nian Nian.

Nian Nian took it with a smile, nibbling on the sweet dates, and said softly with relief: "Thank you, I know you are all good people."

"Well, well, God Bless Hu, God Bless, God Bless"

The car owner seemed to have removed a big stone, and the wrinkles on his face were smoothed out by years of words.

The old man who owned the cart pushed the wooden cart away, and several people returned to the street corner and walked towards the place where the crowd had gathered just now.

"Why does it seem like there's a black cloth bag lying on the ground over there?" Nian Nian has already eaten up the angustifolia in his hand and is ruthlessly grabbing the food from the three-foot sailor.

"Yeah, it's true." Sanchi Shui stood on his tiptoes and looked at it, then turned his head and said, "Damn it, you stole my jujube again."

"Hehe." Nian Nian finished chewing the dates in several mouthfuls, biting the date core and making faces at the three feet of water.

Sanchi Shui tried to strangle Nian Nian's neck, but she nimbly turned around to avoid it, but his next slap landed firmly on the back of Nian Nian's head.

Sanchi Shui looked at Nian Nian, who was staring straight ahead, and rubbed her head: "What's wrong, eating dates makes you stupid?"

Without saying a word, Nian Nian walked forward quickly. After taking a few steps, he turned into a trot. His steps became bigger and faster, and his speed became faster and faster. He suddenly stopped five or six meters away from the black cloth bag. After a pause, he hesitated and did not dare to step forward.

The few people who followed also stopped next to Nian Nian, looking at the man curled up on the ground like a rag bag in disbelief.

The brown robe on his body has been stained black by blood. His exposed head, face and hands are bloody and ragged. A long wound on his forehead is still bleeding. The dry pipe in his hand has been After being doused, the blood foam in the smoke pot exploded with a loud bang.

This is the person they just met, the old man who kindly showed them the way.

why

Nian Nian recalled the scene he had just seen from a distance, and pursed his lips tightly. The sharp thorns of the date pits pierced the soft roof of his mouth, but he did not feel any pain at all.

Nian Nian looked around blankly, but only saw these ten people.This land seemed to be suddenly disgusted by people. Pedestrians walked around the old man's body, and the business people on the roadside didn't even look at it, as if what was lying on the ground was really a rag bag.

She finally lowered her head and uttered three words in confusion:

"why"

No one answered, Qi Youfeng quietly wrapped his fists that were clenched every year with his palms.

"Why?" Nian Nian looked up at him.

Qi Youfeng shook his head sadly.He had no way of answering every year's question.

Nian Nian looked at Shi Sui again, and suddenly a group of people running towards him appeared in the corner of his sight.

These were five men, some tall and some short, all wearing coarse robes, holding water bags and dustpans, or cloth rolled straw ropes in their hands.

These five men seemed not to have seen these people in Nian Nian. One of them ran close to him and paused for a while. He looked at the old man's body with a sad look on his face and a slight trembling of his lips.

"Kamble." Another big man with a beard gave this man a stern look and pointed at the old man on the ground, "Kamble, who is this person?"

Kamble immediately restrained his sadness and said with a ferocious face: "This is a sinner who blasphemed God Hu and deserves to die."

"Why should you die?" The bearded man was still not satisfied and asked, looking closely into Kamble's eyes.

"If he doesn't die, God Hu will punish us, take back the sweet water and sheep given to us, and will punish our parents, wives and children." Kamble gritted his teeth and growled in hatred.

The bearded man nodded approvingly, and Kamble immediately strode to the body, opened the linen cloth in his hand, and covered the old man's skinny body.

Kamble lowered his head, tucked the linen under the old man's body, tied the head and tail with straw rope, and held up the old man's body with both hands amidst the impatient urging of the beard, as if holding a piece of worn-out straw paper, which was blown away by the wind. It will break if blown.

Kamble and Bearded Beard turned around and walked out of the city. Nian Nian seemed to have just realized what was happening. He started to chase after them, shouting anxiously: "Where are you going and who are you?"

Kanbul's steps staggered, the bearded man turned around and glared at Niannian, then frowned and cursed Kanbul, scolding him out of Niannian's sight.

"Let me ask." Shi Sui pressed Nian Nian's shoulders and steadily stopped Nian Nian's steps.

There was another big man sprinkling water on the ground, while the other two picked up two baskets of loess. The three of them worked together to carefully cover the place where the old man had just laid down, leaving no trace of dust behind.

"Three eldest brothers, why was the old man just now a sinner?" Shi Sui handed out three pieces of silver, his tone full of curiosity, like a spectator inquiring about anecdotes.

"Are you guys here to buy some goods?" the tall man asked with a smile as he took the silver and distributed it to his companions.

"Well, we are from the eastern dynasty. We want to do some business here, but we are afraid that if we are not sensible, we may inadvertently offend God Hu." Shi Sui nodded.

"As long as you are a good person, you will not offend God Hu." The tall man said seriously.

"Then just now" Shi Sui looked at the blood stains on the ground that had been mostly covered up, feeling a little confused.

"He lied to God Hu, and God Hu found out. This kind of person will bring disaster, damn it." The tall man lowered his head and spat hard, his face full of hatred.

The other two big men nodded repeatedly and shook the dustpan in their hands. When the tall man saw it, he immediately cursed: "You two are so cowardly that I'll beat you up."

The dustpan stabilized, and the tall man began to sprinkle water again. He kindly explained to Shi Sui: "The land stained with the blood of sinners must be covered, and when covering it, dust must not be raised. With the dust, the sin will be taken away." Come on, this will make God Hu angry, so we have to cover it carefully, press the sinner into the soil, and let people and sheep step on it every day, so that the sinner cannot turn over."

Nian Nian was about to have an attack. Sanchi Shui quickly covered her mouth with quick eyes and hands, and with the help of Qi Youfeng, she was temporarily stabilized.

"Listen to him and at least clarify the matter." Qi Youfeng whispered in Nian Nian's ear.

Sui Jian couldn't ask what he wanted to know, so he thought for a moment and changed his words: "That was God Hu's miracle just now, right?"

"Of course." The tall man glanced at him as if he were a fool.

Shisui smiled faintly and began to make insinuations, finally bringing the topic to what he wanted to know, and the tall man's answer also made everyone present feel moved.

“Everything we have is given by God Hu, so when we pray, we must honestly count the gifts of God Hu, and then dedicate one-seventh of the gifts to God Hu, and we must not hide even half of them. This is the way to be a pious Hawa. Richie."

Everyone finally figured out what the light that just flew out of the people's hands was.That was one-seventh of their meager net worth, which was taken away by that Hu God in some way.

"Check yourself," Shi Sui murmured, his face suddenly changed, and he was speechless for a while.

Everyone was stunned. A female player covered her mouth and let out a low scream. She bit the date core in her mouth with a click, and there was a sweet smell between her lips and teeth.

This old man was killed by them with the knife handed to him every year.
