Changchang County, Wuyan Town.
"Dad, I'm back."
Zhang Dahu ducked into the small courtyard and quickly closed the door.
He raised his head and glanced at Exorcism Talisman stuck on the door frame, and couldn't help but let out a long breath.
"How's the situation outside?"
An old man with dark skin and a sad look on his face came up to him. "Have you found the person?"
"Found it!"
Zhang Dahu touched the sweat on his forehead and said, "The Wang Wu family, the Sun Cheng family, and the Li Zhen family are all willing to leave in a group with us. We will meet at Chidao at 00:00 tomorrow. We will not wait if you are late!"
"Alas."
Old Man Zhang sighed heavily, "I hope it goes well."
Unless he had to, Old Man Zhang really didn't want to leave the town where he was born and raised.
But the current situation in the town has deteriorated to the point where it is difficult to survive. If you don't leave, you will die sooner or later.
"I don't know if the county will send Exorcism Envoy over."
He still held on to his last glimmer of hope.
"Don't think about it."
Zhang Dahu said angrily, "Li Zhen told me that Evil Spirits is also making trouble in the county seat. They have too much time to take care of themselves and there is no way they can send Battle Cultivator to clean up Evil Spirits. We'd better run away."
Old Man Zhang looked even more sad when he heard this. "This is the only way."
Zhang Dahu was about to say a few words of comfort when his expression suddenly changed, "It's foggy, come in quickly!"
The father and son quickly returned to the room, opened the cover of the secret passage and got in.
In the secret room below, there are also their wives and children.
Although it was still some time before dark, this border town was shrouded in the fog that came quietly.
The doors of every house in the town were closed, and the chickens and dogs were silent, falling into a dead silence. Occasionally, the cry of a baby was heard, and then disappeared again, as if someone had covered its mouth.
When night falls, it becomes even colder in Wuyan Town. The howling wind passes by the roads in the town and rolls up a few fallen leaves.
I don't know where the faint sobs came from, as if telling a sad story.
The taverns and teahouses that are usually the busiest at this time are now closed. There is no light, and the streets are dark, as if there are dormant ferocious beasts that are eager to devour people.
Only the Exorcism Talisman hanging under the porches of each house were still shining with a faint glow.
But like a candle in the wind, it may be annihilated at any time!
Suddenly, a gust of evil wind blew by, and many Exorcism Talisman suddenly burned automatically and quickly turned into ashes.
After a while, a shrill and short scream suddenly rang out in the town.
However, no one came out to check the situation. The surviving townspeople huddled in the secret rooms of their homes, waiting for the long night to pass with their eyes open.
This also includes the Zhang Dahu family.
This night was particularly long and torturous, and by dawn, everyone was drowsy.
Zhang Dahu's eyelids kept fighting. It wasn't until a rough slap slapped him hard on the back of his head that he suddenly woke up. "Who?"
"Me!"
Old Man Zhang next to him said angrily, "Hurry up, don't miss the moment of rendezvous!"
Zhang Dahu suddenly became sober and said, "Let's go!"
The family's food, belongings and some daily necessities had already been packed into storage bags. Clothes and other items that couldn't fit were packed into luggage, and the family of six hurried out of the house.
Zhang Dahu was carrying a huge luggage, holding his young son in his arms, and holding his wife with his left hand.
"Father, mother, follow me."
Old Man Zhang said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, even if we both die, we won't be a drag on you."
These are not words of anger or ridicule, but a firm decision!
Zhang Dahu felt extremely miserable. "If we die, we will die together."
"Don't be stupid!"
Old Man Zhang slapped him again. "If you guys die, we Old Zhang's family will be wiped out!"
The family ran as fast as they could through the deserted long street, seeing very few pedestrians along the way.
But next to the town entrance Chidao, a large group of townspeople with their wives and children had gathered.
Many people were holding weapons or holding Talismans, looking around warily.
Seeing these people, Zhang Dahu immediately felt reassured and quickly stepped forward to greet them, "Li Zhen, Sun Cheng..."
These are all friends he has known since childhood, and they usually have very good relations with them.
Now Wuyan Town is making trouble Evil Spirits, people are missing and murdered every day, everyone feels that they can't live anymore, so they make an appointment to form a team and leave together today.
Wuyan Town is more than two hundred miles away from the county seat. Although it is connected to Chidao, everyone knows that this road is not easy to walk.
If we don't unite as one, things could easily go wrong.
"Where is Wang Wu?"
Zhang Dahu didn't see his best friend in the crowd, and his heart suddenly sank.
Sun Cheng replied with a pale face, "When I came over, I saw the door of Wang Wu's house was open, and Exorcism Talisman was all gone."
Zhang Dahu was immediately speechless.
This means that the Wang Wu family is in danger and is very likely to encounter something unexpected.
Sun Cheng lowered his head. "I, I didn't dare to go in and take a look."
He was ashamed, but no one would blame him, because if it were him, he would probably make the same choice.
"The time has come!"
At this time, the fog that enveloped the town has completely dissipated, and the sun shines through the gaps in the clouds on Chidao, bringing people a long-lost warmth.
A group of townspeople anxiously embarked on their escape journey, forming a long queue on Chidao.
No one knows what is waiting for them ahead, but there is still a glimmer of hope if they leave, and they will definitely die if they stay!
After walking for more than ten miles along Chidao, the town was far behind us. There were no unexpected situations, which made everyone's depressed mood a lot easier.
The atmosphere in the team has also improved a lot.
However, there was always a shadow hanging over Zhang Dahu's heart, feeling that such smoothness would not last forever.
As a third layer of Qi Condensation monk, if he could leave this group of people behind and move forward alone, his speed would be much faster.
But his mother and wife are both mortals, and neither of them can be left behind.
Hope my feeling is wrong!
"Look!"
Just as Zhang Dahu was comforting himself, a scream suddenly came from the side, "What is that?"
Zhang Dahu looked in the direction of the opponent's finger and saw a large dark cloud suddenly appeared in the west, and quickly drifted towards their location.
He took a closer look and found that the large dark clouds were actually composed of black crows!
These black crows were very big, with blood-red eyes. They made a shrill cry, flew over the crowd in an instant, and swooped down.
To make matters worse, waves of gray mist arose in the surrounding fields, sweeping towards Chidao.
Zhang Dahu's heart suddenly sank, and he clenched his fists involuntarily!
