Chapter 304: The sky is full of sunshine again

The child cried until his voice became hoarse.

Hearing the sound of horse hooves, several people turned their heads to look over at the same time.

When they saw Zhou Guo riding a horse, several adults' necks shrank. When they looked back, they saw only her. Her expression changed suddenly, just like the two men before. The corners of her mouth slowly rose. Several people looked at each other and laughed excitedly.

As soon as the child on the ground got free, he immediately ran away for his life, crawling all the way.

Zhou Guo turned his wrist and raised the sword.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Zhou Guo held a big knife in his right hand and the reins in his left hand, standing on the horse with an expressionless face. The breeze blew, and his clothes rustled.

The child subconsciously looked back and saw the young man standing on his horse with a sword in hand, descending from the sky like a god. The setting sun shone on her, as if she was coated with a layer of golden light. This scene became a memory that he would remember for many years.

The men then noticed the big knife in her hand, their expressions changed, and someone shouted.

"Run!" Several men ran in different directions.

Zhou Guo gritted his teeth and chased after the horse by the belly.

Four people, three directions, it seems that they have rich experience in escaping.

But two legs could not run faster than a horse. Before they could even get an arrow's distance away, Zhou Guo caught up with them one by one.

Knife up and down.

The head and body were separated, and the head rolled forward several times before stopping. The eyes that were not closed were wide open in fear, and he died with his eyes open.

The blood splattered three feet high.

When the other people looked back at this scene, they were immediately frightened and their faces turned pale. Their legs went weak and they could no longer run. They were as soft as a puddle of mud.

He was so scared that he lost control of his bowels and urine.

Zhou Guo frowned slightly.

Several people quickly begged for mercy.

Zhou Guo looked at the children who were beaten to death on the ground, turned his wrist, and the white knife went in and the red knife came out, killing several people on the spot.

The black guy in front of him was so scared when he saw blood for the first time that he screamed. His head and butt were curled up into a ball. He never raised his head.

Zhou Guo was not in the mood to care about it. He glanced at the large patches of grass as tall as a person next to him. After a moment, he rode his horse and caught up with him from the side of the road.

After chasing for a hundred meters, I vaguely saw a group of people running for their lives in front of me.

When I rode closer, I saw a group of people dragging, pulling, or carrying young children as they fled. The children had something stuffed in their mouths and were crying in anxiety.

When she saw this situation, she had no idea what was going on. She walked forward without hesitation and stabbed anyone who was dragging a child.

Although those adults had a lot of blood on their hands, the targets were all little kids like this who normally posed no threat at all.

At this moment, Zhou Guo was like a murderer, stabbing anyone he saw without even asking a question. The person who was just talking suddenly had his head no longer on his neck. It was so scary!

There were five or six people. Two of them saw that something was wrong and dropped the people they were holding and ran away. Zhou Guo, who was left behind, did not let any of the escaped people go. If such a scourge remained in the world, who knew how many people would be harmed. The better to have one less, the better.

The children who were thrown behind looked at the bloody scene one by one. They were not afraid and did not scream. On the contrary, they watched their enemies die in an instant with only relief on their faces and joy in their eyes.

Zhou Guo looked down at them one by one, not knowing whether she was relieved or disappointed. She said nothing, pursed her lips, pulled the reins, turned the horse's head and walked back in a daze.

The children looked at the back of their savior, who was about the same age as them, with blood still dripping from the tip of the knife. Out of fear or some other emotion, they didn't say a word.

In the dense forest beside the road, two adults covered the mouth and nose of a child tightly to prevent him from making any sound. They also shrunk their necks and dared not even breathe deeply. The dagger in their hands was against the child's back, and blood slowly seeped out of the child's back.

Severe pain came from behind, but the child with a determined face did not give in at all. Sweat appeared on his forehead but not a single tear was shed.

But after seeing the figure on the horse clearly, his whole body shook, and he blinked several times in disbelief, and finally bit the tender flesh on both sides of his mouth with his teeth. The child who was beaten with a swollen nose and a swollen face, and who didn't cry even when a knife was pointed at his back, almost burst into tears due to the pain.

He shouted and struggled, but he was held tightly by two adults and could not move at all. He could only make a whining sound. Looking at the horses going farther and farther away, he struggled harder and harder. He used up his last bit of strength but still could not break free from the hands of the two people. Looking at the figure that finally disappeared at the end of the road, the child's head drooped, and in his heart he shouted with all his strength: Sister~

Zhou Guo, who was walking away, suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart. For a moment, his heart ached so much that he could hardly breathe. He turned around and looked in that direction as if he had sensed something.

After a while, he turned his horse and galloped away.

Seeing the man running away, the two men carried the unconscious child and ran forward.

As I was running, I suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming closer and closer. I couldn't help but look back. The murderous devil was back!

He immediately threw the person in his hand into the bushes beside the road and ran into the woods as if he was escaping for his life.

Zhou Guo was watching from a distance behind, and saw the two fish that had been caught in the net carrying something and throwing it to the side of the road. She didn't take it seriously, got off her horse at the side of the road, and chased after them with a big knife in hand. She wanted to kill these two people here.

The two men thought that they had entered the woods and that the horses could not enter, so they had taken advantage. They looked back as they ran, wondering whether they should wait until the people left before catching the children back.

But when she looked back, she saw someone flying towards her with a big knife in her hand. She leaped onto a big tree several meters away, then leaped forward from the tree. With one leap after another, she had covered a distance of more than ten meters in a moment.

They were all poor people who were forced to live. Even if they did something bad, they always bullied the weak. They had never seen such a scene before. The two of them looked up in amazement.

Zhou Guo saw that they stopped running, and although he was a little confused, he did not stop.

When the two men saw the big knife dripping with blood, they remembered that this knife had killed so many people, and they turned around and ran away in a hurry.

She chased after him, jumped down from the branch, flipped her wrist, turned the tip of the knife, and took one life cleanly and neatly. The other man ran desperately without looking back, and was stabbed by the knife thrown from behind. Both of them fell down without even a resistance.

Zhou Guo walked forward, pulled out the big knife, wiped it in the pile of fallen leaves, and turned back after wiping it clean. He walked out of the dense forest that was gradually getting darker. The road was illuminated by the sunset, and the sunset glowed half the sky red.

There was no one on the road now, and strangely, the corpses were also gone. No one knew where they had gone.

He jumped on the horse, grabbed the reins and was about to leave when he suddenly heard a faint sound coming from the woods beside the road. Zhou Guo felt as if struck by lightning. All the blood in his body seemed to rush to his heart. He could no longer hear any other sound. This voice was... Zhou Su! !
