Star River Holy King

In a village in the mountains, a man was lying in a house. He was handsome, but his eyes were closed and his eyebrows were slightly furrowed. He looked like he was having a nightmare.    

"Where is this?" Suddenly, he woke up and rubbed his eyes. He felt as if his head had been filled with iron, and it was extremely heavy.    

After saying this, he looked around and saw that he was in a simple small room. There was only a bed and a chair in the room. He felt a little hot on his head and touched his head again. He saw a wet towel on his head, and there was even a trace of heat coming from it. It seemed like it had just been applied.    

"Where exactly is this place?" He recalled the scene in his mind. The dark red blood and the pale head immediately gave him a headache. This man was Lau Xuyan.    

He rubbed his dizzy head and tried his best to recall something. However, he found that he remembered the heads of the seventh brother and Bai Xing, as well as his own blood and tears. There were also two people standing under the moonlight. They looked like devils. They were laughing maniacally, and behind them were the headless corpses.    

He wanted to get off the bed, but he found that his body was powerless, and he couldn't even move a finger.    

Following a sound, the curtain was slowly lifted.    

"You're awake?" It was a pair of big watery eyes, a petite girl who looked to be around seven or eight years old. This person was the little Stone Village's Cai.    

Cai stood at the door and only revealed her normal body. She looked at Lau Xuyan with a trace of vigilance.    

Lau Xuyan looked at the girl at the entrance, even though his head was dizzy. He seemed to have thought of something. This girl looked familiar. He suddenly thought of the little girl in the small Stone Village, but he wasn't sure if it was this person.    

Lau Xuyan turned to the little girl and asked tentatively, "Little girl, what's your name? "    

The little girl heard what Lau Xuyan said and said, "My name is Cai."    

" Cai? What a nice name." Lau Xuyan continued, "Hello, Cai. My name is Lau Xuyan. Where is this place?"    

"This is Little Stone Village." Cai looked at Lau Xuyan's face and her expression slightly eased, but there was still a trace of nervousness on her face.    

Lau Xuyan saw that Cai seemed to be afraid of him and immediately thought of the reason.    

This small Stone Village was the place where he robbed the White Spirit Village a few days ago. As for this little girl in front of him, he seemed to have a trace of memory. Knowing that he was the bandit in the village, how could she not be afraid?    

However, Lau Xuyan still had some doubts. He was clearly in White Spirit Village, but why was he in this small Stone Village when he woke up?    

In order to solve the doubts in his heart, he turned to Cai and said, "Cai, do you know why I am here?"    

Cai stared blankly at Lau Xuyan's handsome face and was somewhat lost in thought. However, when she heard Lau Xuyan's words, she came to a realization.    

"You were sent here by a big brother with the surname Ye."    

After hearing Cai's words, Lau Xuyan already knew that the big brother with the surname Ye that Cai mentioned was naturally the third son of the Star Sculpting City's Ye Residence, Ye Mingyang.    

He continued to ask Cai, "I have been unconscious for a few days."    

Cai rolled her eyes, thought for a while, and counted on her fingers for a while before saying, "Including today, it is already the third day. That big brother surnamed Ye said that you have suffered too much of a shock. After all, he will sleep for a few days and nights, so he left you here. Let me take good care of you. "    

When Lau Xuyan heard this, he could not help but become somewhat anxious. He said, "Then where is that Brother Ye you are talking about now?"    

"I don't know either. After he left you and those things that were taken away and cured my mother's illness, he already had it. Including today, it has been two days. "    

Lau Xuyan suddenly thought of those people from White Spirit Village. He was very anxious right now, wondering how those people were doing.    

He tried to move his body again and wanted to lie down on the bed, but he still could not use his strength from head to toe. After trying many times, he found that it was fruitless, so he gave up on that idea.    

Another day passed before Lau Xuyan could barely walk out of the bed.    

He pushed open the door, and a strong ray of light shone on his eyes, making them hurt. The New Year was bright and sunny, as if what happened that night was just a nightmare. And he had already woken up. However, the unhealed scar on his head was telling him... It wasn't a dream.    

Lau Xuyan turned his head and looked at the distant mountain. There was a White Spirit Village in the mountain, and that was his only home.    

That night, Lau Xuyan had almost fully recovered.    

After he felt better, he said goodbye to Cai and entered the lush forest.    

He wanted to return to a place, which was located in the middle of the mountains. It was his only home, the place where he could see White Spirit Village.    

It had been about six hours since Lau Xuyan went up the mountain. He walked on the mountain path paved with stone slabs with great difficulty. This path was more than ten times wide, and he was very familiar with it. The first time he walked on this path was five years ago. However, things were different now.    

After another hour, Lau Xuyan finally arrived at White Spirit Village. The gate was as good as before. It was still intact, but there was no one on top of the gate.    

He did not stay in front of the gate for long. He continued to think about the inside of the stronghold.    

However, he was shocked when he entered the mountain village.    

He saw that most of the houses of various sizes had disappeared. The trees around him had been broken into countless pieces. There were also shocking big pits on the ground.    

Lau Xuyan furrowed his brows and continued walking deeper into the mountain stronghold.    

However, the deeper he went, the more shocked he felt. Where did all the people inside go? Were they all dead?    

When he walked next to a vegetable field and looked at the vegetable field, his pupils suddenly enlarged. He saw that the originally empty spot on the vegetable field now had more than twenty graves. In front of the graves were gravestones of various sizes.    

"This..." Lau Xuyan's face was a little pale. Could it be that the reason why Bai Ling and the other person were dead was because they were all dead?    

He looked at the fresh graves and suddenly rushed over. He used both his hands and feet to dig at the graves.    

This pile of soil was originally a new map that he had dug out two days ago. It happened to be another heavy rain two days ago. At this moment, it was incomparably soft. It only looked like Lau Xuyan had stopped digging not long after.    

His eyes were somewhat dull as he stared blankly at the thing that was dug out in front of him. This was a human corpse, but this person had already lost his head. He could no longer tell who that person was when he was alive, and the corpse had been soaked in the heavy rain from two days ago. It had turned white, and there was a stench coming from it. It looked like his body was going to rot in a few days.    

Lau Xuyan looked at the corpse in front of him. He couldn't help but feel disgusted in his heart. He wanted to vomit, but no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't spit out anything.    

About an hour later, he started digging again. However, the thing he dug out was no different from the thing he dug out just now. This time, he found a headless corpse. It was exactly the same as the last time. Even the degree of decay was not much different.    

"Urgh!" Lau Xuyan vomited again. This time, he vomited out a lot of things, as if he had dug out all the food he had eaten a few days ago.    

He did not dig the third grave anymore, because until now, he basically understood that the people of White Spirit Village were probably all dead, and their corpses were all buried in this vegetable field.    

He sat there blankly and did not move at all.    

It was another night. If it was any other day, the bright white moon would have already climbed into the night sky, but today, he didn't come out, and even the originally brilliant star river had disappeared without a trace.    

In this night sky, there was only darkness and a messy scene.    

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, causing the trees in the forest to rustle.    

"A burst of light rain began to fall, wetting the pitch-black night sky.    

Lau Xuyan was still sitting there. His whole body was drenched by the rain. Drops of raindrops the size of beans hit his pale face.    

A few drops of crystal clear dew fell from his face. It was unknown whether it was the raindrops falling from the sky or the hot tears in his eyes.    

It was another long and cold rainy night. The rain kept falling. It seemed like it had no intention of stopping. The man sitting in the dark also had no intention of getting up.    

In the early morning, a trace of warm sunlight sprinkled over the mountain forest. The rain finally stopped.    

The man was still sitting there, but his face was filled with vicissitudes of life. He looked like he had aged.    

"Croak, croak, croak."    

A frog jumped out from the grass and kept screaming. It looked quite happy because of the rain last night.    

"Maybe the hit is really so destined!" Lau Xuyan, who had been sitting all this time, started to move. He stood up and combed the messy hair on his head with his palm.    

In a short while, he walked out of White Spirit Village without looking back. After a moment, he had already disappeared into the mountains.    

In Little Stone Village, Cai was cooking lunch today. There were two dishes that she wanted to cook today. One was the chili fried eggs, and the other was the stir-fried vegetables.    

The exuberant firewood burned until it was red. Cai immediately poured the oil down and after the oil was heated, she poured down the two eggs that were already in the bowl.    

After the eggs entered the pot and touched the hot oil, they immediately made a beeping sound. In a short while, they were already fried. A fragrance accompanied the hot air in the pot and quickly spread into Cai's nose.    

When Cai saw that the egg was already fried, she was immediately delighted. She prepared to use the spade in her hand to scoop the egg out and place it in the bowl that was already prepared by the side.    

"Bang!"    

Suddenly, a sound came from outside the door. It was as if something had smashed into the door and made a sound.    

Cai was shocked. She did not even care about the egg in the hot pot and rushed out of the room.    

She saw a man lying outside the door. His face was pale and his clothes were wet. Cai saw this man and immediately recognized him. The man in front of her was the Lau Xuyan who left her house last night.    

Cai looked at Lau Xuyan lying on the ground and did not get up. She panicked and quickly called for her mother in the room.    

Cai's mother looked at Lau Xuyan and did not panic too much. She told Cai that this Lau Xuyan had overworked himself and was also drenched in the rain. She was afraid that he had caught a cold.    

The two of them spent a lot of effort to carry Lau Xuyan onto the bed and changed him into dry clothes before giving up.    

When she was done with the things in front of her, Cai seemed to remember something and rushed into the kitchen.    

She saw that the kitchen was filled with a burnt smell. Cai looked towards the pot and saw that the egg in the pot had been burnt into charcoal.    

"This person is really troublesome!" Cai looked at the burnt egg in the pot and muttered.
