Chapter 59: Run, they’re coming!
What followed was a one-sided “abuse.” After Lu Shan took out the bone knife, he simply put it on his waist, and Zeren’s Vajra Bell was completely ineffective.
I don’t know what the deal is with these magical weapons, but I was happy to see Lu Shan beating Zeren, because I knew that Zeren was not a good person, and it was just like the hero beating the bad guy in the movies I used to watch when I was a kid.
With a grass root in my mouth, I sat quietly. At this time, Yue came towards me wearing a flower crown and asked me, “Brother San, does this look good? Huigen made it for me.”
In those days, I was Huigen’s older brother, and Ruoyue was always Huigen’s older sister. His feelings for Ruoyue were no less than his feelings for me. Under the reflection of the flower crown, Ruoyue’s face was also like a flower. The two complemented each other, and the contrast was extremely beautiful. It was indeed very beautiful, so my gaze temporarily moved back from Lushan and I quietly looked at Ruoyue for a while, saying, “It looks good. Why did Huigen want to make this for you?”
“Because I was chatting with Huigen that day, and we talked about when we were little. I… My sister and I used to do this all the time, making flowers for each other to wear. I miss Ruoxue, so Huigen did this. I think he wanted to make me happy. In fact, he said, don’t mention my sister in front of you.” Ruoyue’s voice got quieter and quieter.
I endured the sadness in my heart and smiled calmly, saying, “What nonsense are you talking about? Ru Xue has always been in my heart. Whether I mention her or not, I have already gotten used to it. You know? It’s fine in my heart.”
“Mmm.” As if my words had also brought comfort to Ruoyue, but I didn’t have the courage to sit next to Ruoyue again. I was afraid that if I wasn’t careful, I would be unable to hide my sadness. Fortunately, Xiao Chengqian came over and said to me with some concern, “Chengyi, do you think you should stop Lushan? This kid is crazy. If he keeps going like this, he’s going to kill the lama at a steady pace.”
What did Lu Shan do to make Xiao Chengqian worry so much?
I came back to my senses and turned around to see that Lu Shan was sitting on Zeren’s body, his fists raining down on Zeren like a storm. He seemed to be tireless, his eyes were red, and the negative energy of tyranny and hatred emanating from his body could be felt even by just looking at him.
In contrast, Zeren was beaten by him until he was foaming at the mouth and was somewhat confused. I had no doubt that if things continued like this, Zeren would be beaten to death by Lushan!
I naturally don’t care about Zeren’s life or death. Although Lushan didn’t say anything, from the attitude of Lushan and the Tibetan girl, and from my keen feelings, this Zeren has killed many people and done many evil deeds, and it’s not a pity to die.
But now he can’t die. If he dies, I think that even with the so-called protection of the Holy Maiden, the small shop will be in trouble. In addition, we are on the run, and not killing people easily is also my bottom line. If I have to kill, I hope it will be later, after Lushan gives me a good reason.
Thinking this way, I stood up and quickly walked a few steps towards Lushan, grabbed his fist that he raised again, and said in a deep voice, “Lushan, that’s enough.”
Lushan looked at me with bloodshot eyes, his whole body trembling slightly. Because he had not restrained his hatred for a moment, even his gaze at me was tinged with a little crazy hatred.
“Don’t let your demons control you. If there is really a bone-deep hatred, as you said, we will come back, and the flames of hatred will illuminate the earth at that time.” I shouted a sentence to Lu Shan, and at this time Tao Bai didn’t know when he also walked behind me, looking at Lu Shan with a timid look.
The bloodshot eyes in Lu Shan’s eyes gradually disappeared, and the expression of hatred on his face finally gradually became calm. He first glanced at Tao Bai, gave him a comforting look, and then held my hand and said to me, “Chengyi, thank you. I almost let hatred burn my soul.”
“It’s okay!” I patted Lu Shan’s shoulder and pulled him up.
Lu Shan helped me to leave Zeren’s fat body. His steps were a bit weak. I could feel that the beating had exhausted Lu Shan, but his hatred kept him going.
I was also happy for Zeren. If it weren’t for his fat, he would have been beaten to death, and now he was probably suffering from internal injuries.
Seeing us leave, the few lamas carefully helped Zeren to his feet and prepared to leave. I had no time to pay attention to them, but Lushan didn’t take two steps before suddenly kneeling to the ground, looking up at the clear blue sky, and suddenly he began to howl in a heart-rending manner, and then he began to cry bitterly.
We were silent, allowing Lu Shan to cry. During this process, Lu Shan kept calling out a name: “Baima, Baima…” From the beginning, he was calling out softly, but as he cried out to the sky, his grief, which had been like a thousand years of ice, once again appeared on his face.
Tao Bai stood by Lu Shan’s side, crying and weeping along with Lu Shan’s cries, looking very sad.
Seeing this, Xiao Chengqian, who hated sadness the most, pulled Tao Bai away and said, “Why are you crying? Do you know that Bai Ma?”
Tao Bai shook his head and said, “I don’t know, but I don’t know why. As soon as I heard that name, I felt sad in my heart. It was very sad.”
At this time, Ru Yue walked over to Tao Bai and gave him a gentle hug, saying, “I know a little Tibetan, and the meaning of the name Bai Ma is lotus. I don’t know what kind of woman she is, but when I hear her name, I feel that she is as pure and noble as the snow lotus on the snowy mountains. She must be very beautiful.”
Tao Bai nodded blankly and said to himself, “She must be very beautiful, even though I don’t know her.”
Lushan, the only one who knew about Pema, was in a state of deep sorrow. I don’t think he would be interested in telling us the story of Pema.
Under the blue sky, the sun was warm, the vast grasslands, the snow-capped mountains stretching on endlessly, the world was vast and far away.
The lake, like a gem, reflected the enchanting light. It was a rare fine day in late autumn, but Lushan let his grief out here.
Except for his crying, the world was quiet. The fat lama and his party had already gone far away, but at this moment, a hawk suddenly flew into the sky and emitted a series of hissing sounds.
The appearance of this eagle was somewhat inexplicable. There was nothing in the sky before, and it appeared there suddenly. I felt from the bottom of my heart that I should be happy to see this eagle, but I didn’t know why. Hearing it hiss, I felt a little irritated and uneasy.
Lushan was originally crying, venting his sorrowful emotions, but at this moment, he strangely quieted down, staring at the hawk in the sky with a strange expression. After two seconds, Lushan suddenly moved. He first subconsciously wiped away the tears on his face, then got up from the ground at an incredible speed, and then ran towards us!
He did all this in less than five seconds.
In the sunlight, I watched as Lushan ran towards us at great speed, then roared at us. I don’t know if it was the hawk’s screech that was too annoying, but I was so confused that I couldn’t hear what Lushan was shouting at me.
Not only me, but also Ru Yue and Cheng Xin, who were standing next to me, had the same expression, staring at Lu Shan, as did the others in the distance.
Only Tao Bai shook me vigorously to wake me up and said to me, “Chengyi, didn’t you hear? Brother Lushan told us to run?”
Run? My mind was like a thunderclap, and then the sounds of the world returned like a flood. The wind, the rustling of the grass, the sound of the waves in the lake, and the loud roar of Lushan: “Chengyi, hurry, let’s run, be careful of that eagle, they’re coming, it’s too late to run!”
They are coming. Who is coming? I was a little slow to react, but I was inexplicably panicked. I subconsciously pulled Ruyue and Chengxin towards the direction they came from.
At this time, the expressions of Ruyue and Chengxin returned to normal. I shouted, “Go and tell the others to run!”
Actually, I didn’t know why I had to run, but I felt that I should do so.
In the sky, the hawk was still screaming!
