Wan'er

There was something wrong with the man in front of him. Li Pingan quietly took two steps back. When he was about to leave the yard, a tentacle shot out from the black fog.

Li Ping'an was experienced this time. When his scalp exploded, he rolled to the side and avoided the tentacles. Then he got up and ran out of the yard. Zhao Jingyan and her sister came to help. They threw something into the room, and the yard was immediately filled with smoke.

The three of them took advantage of this time to escape, but nowhere was safe.

The black mist in the pond surged out, and the originally clear water instantly turned into a pool of blood, wrapped around the black mist, and the pond was empty in an instant.

It followed Li Ping'an's breath and followed him.

Li Pingan realized that it was catching up and wanted to call for help, but found that it was still three against one. There was no other way, so he could only rely on the three of them.

Oh, no,

At a bend, the three fleeing people happened to meet Annie and the other two who were hiding in the dark.

Good news, we now have five people.

The bad news is that only one person can be considered capable of fighting.

There is no escape, looking at the dead end in front of me,

The few people could only turn around and look at the black and red object that was rushing towards them. A foul smell of blood rose into the sky and hit their noses.

I thought a fierce battle would follow, but it suddenly stopped, and there was a distance of about five meters between the two sides.

"I know you." The face hidden in the black fog was very similar to Feng Sheng, but the personality was quite different. "They told me not to kill you."

It's too late, you've already killed once.

It didn't do anything, but Li Pingan felt himself flying over uncontrollably. It pinched Li Pingan's neck with its hands, but didn't use any force.

Li Pingan quickly stopped several people who were about to rush over, "It's okay, it's okay, don't come over," and those who came over were just delivering food.

Li Pingan suddenly had an idea, "I'll tell you everything, including the human race's plan, as long as you let them go."

Li Pingan stretched out his hands to grab something, but he only grabbed clumps of blood, staining his hands red.

"I won't leave." Although Annie didn't know what Li Ping'an was going to do, her intuition told her that it was a very dangerous thing.

Although the other people didn't say anything, Li Pingan also saw the expression of unity on their faces.

Li Pingan was moved and wanted to beg everyone, "Go, all of you go."

Anding dragged Annie, Zhao Ziyu dragged Zhao Jingyan, and when the four were about to leave, it, who had been watching the show from the side, stopped them with a wall of blood, "Did I say let them go?"

Li Pingan said seriously: "They don't know anything, it's useless for you to keep them."

"Besides, this is your territory. I believe that even if I let them go, it will be easy for you to find them again. Why not let them go first and I will tell you everything."

It didn't speak, but the blood wall blocking the four people was retracted.

"Let's go, let's go."

Li Pingan urged, until she saw several people disappear in front of her eyes, she thought about how to fool it in her heart,

"Go ahead,"

"Um, before we talk, don't we get to know each other first?" Li Ping'an wanted to struggle, she hadn't finished her story yet.

The hand on his neck suddenly tightened, and when Li Pingan's eyes went black, the hand gradually loosened, and he gasped uncontrollably.

"You lied to me?"

"It turns out that none of the human beings are good."

As it said this, it opened its mouth wide and was about to eat Li Pingan, but suddenly stopped.

"Okay, I'll let you go and play with them."

After saying that, without waiting for Li Pingan to react, he stuffed her into the black fog. Li Pingan closed her mouth tightly, but thick blood still poured into her nose.

Just when Li Pingan thought she would be choked to death by the blood, she suddenly felt air again. Before she opened her eyes, she felt a pair of hands wiping her face.

Li Pingan opened his eyes and found that it was Wan'er. Wan'er only had the upper body but no lower body.

Perhaps because Li Ping'an's eyes were too direct, Wan'er quickly conjured up a long skirt to cover her lower body and smiled shyly at Li Pingan.

"Sister," a headless and mutilated child threw himself into Li Ping'an's arms.

Before Li Pingan could react, Wan'er pulled him away and said, "Don't scare me."

Li Pingan took this opportunity to look around. This small world seemed to be modeled after the outside world. Several children, near and far, all had their flaws.

Li Ping'an remembered what Feng Sheng had said before, and finally understood what a broken soul meant.

"Sister, are you here to kill us?"

All the children were driven away by Wan'er, and only the two of them were left here. Even though the questions she asked were unpleasant, Wan'er still had a smile on her face.

It wasn't the kind of smile a madman would have, but a very plain and beautiful smile.

Li Pingan did not deny it out loud, but asked, "Why did you save me?"

To be honest, Li Pingan only met them once, and what he saw was an illusion.

Wan'er pulled Li Ping'an to sit down by the river. It should be early spring now. The willow branches by the river were sprouting new shoots. The water surface was sparkling. It was a very ordinary scene.

Hearing Li Ping'an's question, Wan'er suddenly smiled at Li Ping'an with a cunning look in her eyes, "I told my sister not to tell them."

"When Brother Fengsheng left earlier, I extracted a wisp of my soul and attached it to the tablet. I told Brother Fengsheng that I wanted to go outside and take a look."

"So I've met my sister."

At this point, Wan'er lowered her head and said, "I also saw Brother Fengsheng do a lot of things."

Li Pingan touched her head upon hearing this and asked, "Do you think he did the right thing?"

"Whether he did it right or not, he did it for us."

Whether it was going back and forth between the barrier and the outside to snatch magic weapons, or enduring the pain to split his soul in two, or feeding them with the flesh and blood of humans, demons, and beasts...

"So, sister, you just stay here."

"A lot of people died,"

Just as Wan'er turned around and wanted to leave, Li Ping suddenly said,

Wan'er paused, and Li Pingan continued, "Too many people died, men and women, old and young, babies in swaddling clothes, unborn children, all died."

"The dry bones were scattered all over the ground, but no one came to collect them, because their loved ones had died with them."

"Blood flowed like a river on the mountain, and all the fish in the river died. The willow trees along the river no longer sprouted new buds. Everywhere you look, there is only grief and sorrow, and not a blade of grass grows."

"Wan'er, you said he was doing this for your own good,"

"But I still want to ask, is this what you want? Is this what you expect?"

Li Ping'an said this so loudly that it attracted the attention of children in the distance. However, Wan'er didn't let them come over, so they could only watch secretly from a distance.

Wan'er suddenly turned around, expressionless, "My father is a human, my mother is a demon. They had a very good relationship and gave birth to two sons and a daughter. When my second brother got married, they rushed in and killed everyone."

Speaking of which, Wan'er was born with a roar,

"They killed everyone, including my one-month-old niece,"

"Why? Why?"

Then, a little boy was dragged in front of Li Pingan. It was the boy with the black mist on his hands. His name was Ah Sheng. "Do you know where he came from?"

"Uncle Lin picked him up from a mass grave. His umbilical cord was still attached to him when he was picked up. His mother had died beside him. His body was covered in cuts, except for his stomach, which she had fiercely protected."

Wan'er then pulled over another little girl and pulled apart the hair on the back of her head. Li Pingan saw a hole. Without Wan'er saying anything, Li Pingan understood everything after seeing the hole.

"One of the things we often did back then was to go to the mass grave after dark and dig through the bodies, snatching them from the jaws of wild dogs to see if there were any that could be saved. That's when Xin'er was rescued."

…

Li Pingan sat by the river, watching Wan'er pull all the children over with tears of blood, and said,

"You say, weren't we innocent originally?"

When Wan'er said this, she no longer had the original anger in her voice, but was filled with sadness.

Li Pingan's lips trembled, wanting to speak but unable to. An apology? In what position did she apologize?

Comfort? Can these things be forgotten after comfort?

After Wan'er drove the child away, she turned around and looked at Li Ping'an. One was sitting and the other was standing, looking at each other in silence.

After an unknown amount of time, Wan'er finally sat down next to Li Ping'an.

"Let me tell you about Brother Fengsheng, some things he didn't say."

"Brother Fengsheng was very naughty when he was young. Although the relationship between humans and demons was not good at that time, it had not yet reached the point of slaughtering each other."

"Brother Fengsheng is very smart and sweet-talking. You can't tell from his appearance that he is mixed-race."

"He does some work for others outside and brings back some snacks every day, sometimes it's candied haws, sometimes it's malt sugar, sometimes it's sugar cakes,"

"He made us line up in front of him and used snacks to lure us to lie on the ground one by one and shout 'Long live Brother Fengsheng'."

"But one day, he came back with no snacks in his hands, his eyes sparkling, and he kept grinning."

Having said this, Wan'er turned to look at Li Ping'an with a look of nostalgia.

Li Ping'an understood. He had met someone he liked. He probably looked very similar to her.

"We kept pestering him, and he finally told us that she was the daughter of the owner of the newly opened clothing store on West Street. She was one year older than Brother Fengsheng, and her name was Zhao Yu."

"My sister looks 80% like her,"

"But Sister Yu loves to laugh more. Whenever I see her, she is always smiling."

"My brother brought snacks to Sister Yu every day, but he didn't dare to talk to her. Finally, Sister Yu caught him stuffing candied haws into the shop, and then he dared to talk to her."

"Sister Yu is very kind. Unlike the others, she didn't think we were monsters. She even used the scraps of fabric from the store to sew purses for us. She also made a small hat for me, a pair of gloves for Ah Sheng, and a small mask for Er Lang..."

"She said that this way we can go out and play instead of staying in the house all day."
