Chapter 7, If Life Is Only as First Seen
"You don't seem to be a magician, if you want you to kill people, you can't do it......" The old man in Tsing Yi smiled bitterly: "I'm old, it's just that I'm dead, but I pity my granddaughter, who is only eleven years old this year, I was seriously ill before, and I lost my memory. ”
The old man in Tsing Yi sighed again and shook his head: "My granddaughter is still waiting for me at the stone bridge at the bottom of the mountain, but I can't go back, so ...... I want to entrust my granddaughter to you, I only hope you can treat her well until adulthood, if you think she is cumbersome, you can also find a kind person to marry her, live a stable life as an ordinary person, if she likes you one day, you can also marry her, little brother, you are kind-hearted, I can also rest assured. ”
"This ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well. Chu Ge hesitated to agree, he had just come to this world not long ago, and he hadn't figured out any way, now let him take a child, you know, in this world, he is only in his twenties, and he has no experience in taking children at all.
The old man in Tsing Yi saw Chu Ge's hesitation: "I know that this is a bit difficult for a strong man, but after my death, my granddaughter has no one to take care of, and she has no previous memory, so I am afraid that I will not be able to live for a few days in this mountain." ”
"Okay...... I promise you, although I don't dare to guarantee any fine clothes and food, rich and expensive, but if I have a bite to eat, I will not starve her, if there is really only one bite, I will let her. Chu Ge thought to himself: "No matter, promise him first, when you go down the mountain, his granddaughter is willing to go with me, then take her, if you don't want to, it won't be considered as a broken promise." ”
When the old man in Tsing Yi heard Chu Ge agree, he smiled comfortingly, and then, with great difficulty, he took out a pair of things like jade pendants from his arms and handed them to Chu Ge.
Take a closer look, it is a pendant-like ornament made of two dragon head fish body patterns, made of black hemp rope through the dragon head, what kind of material it is, Chu Ge can't tell it, it feels cold, not like a stone.
"This pair of ichthyosaurus seals was left to her by her father, and the ichthyosaur seals have the function of teleporting people, as long as one person holds one of the ichthyosaur seals and injects magic energy into the ichthyosaurus seals, they can activate the ichthyosaurus seals, and the person holding the ichthyosaurus seals will teleport to the side of another ichthyosaurus seal regardless of the distance. "The old man in Tsing Yi is getting weaker and weaker.
"It could have been used three times, I've used it once, I have two left, and now ...... Bestow on you...... Hopefully it will someday...... Can help you out of danger...... My granddaughter...... Please......" The old man in Tsing Yi finally glanced at Chu Ge weakly, lowered his hand, and closed his eyes.
"Hey, hey...... Don't, you haven't told me what your granddaughter's name is!" Chu Ge hurriedly shook the corpse of the old man in Tsing Yi, but the old man did not react, and probed the nose of the old man in Tsing Yi with his hand, only to find that the old man in Tsing Yi was completely out of breath.
"You can close your eyes and be dumbfounded when you think about it. Chu Ge put away the fish and dragon seal, looked at the old man's corpse and thought, "The world in this world pays attention to entering the earth for safety, you can't leave his corpse here, even if it doesn't decay, it will be eaten by the strange beasts and beasts in the mountains."
"Let's bury him!" Chu Ge turned his head and said to the little black beast who had been sitting on the side and watching, the little black beast also nodded as if he understood human words, and then the body of the old man of one man and one beast dragged the body of the old man and beast to the hole where the black beast had hidden Chu Ge before.
After disposing of the corpse, one man and one beast walked down the mountain.
It's just that Chu Ge doesn't know. Just as he was busy burying the corpse, the little black beast secretly ran to the head of a white-haired giant beast, opened its mouth, and its mouth was like a void, and with a 'boom', it sucked the huge head in, very satisfied.
At the stone bridge at the foot of the mountain, a ten-year-old girl was curled up and squatted by the bridge, her thin white clothes made her look a little pitiful with two ponytails, because the bottom of the two polar mountains was still covered with snow and was cold and biting.
When Chu Ge got off the mountain, he saw the little girl.
"At the stone bridge down the mountain, it seems that it is her. Chu Ge remembered the entrustment of the old man in Tsing Yi, and walked towards the little girl.
When she got closer, the little girl didn't react, only to see her curled up and silent.
Chu Ge squatted in front of the little girl and looked at her carefully, only to see that her face was pale, her eyes were blank, her lips were dry, and she thought that she had been eroded by the wind and frost.
"What's your name?" Chu Ge asked softly, because the old man in Tsing Yi didn't tell his granddaughter's name at all, and Chu Ge forgot to ask.
The little girl glanced at Chu Ge, and then said, "I don't know." Then he buried his head in his knees.
Speechless for a while, Chu Ge thought to himself that he didn't know his name, he was afraid that he was not a fool.
"What are you doing here, why don't you go home when it's so cold" Chu Ge then asked, if he could find out where her home was, maybe there were any relatives and friends who could take her in.
"I'm waiting for someone, but I don't know where my home is. The little girl didn't even lift her head.
"Who are you waiting for, can you tell me?" Chu Ge wanted to confirm again, to see if it was the granddaughter of the old man, what if he was mistaken and was treated as a human trafficker.
The little girl raised her head, thought about it, seemed to think of something, but didn't seem to have it, looked a little sad, and then lowered her head and said, "I...... I don't remember who I'm waiting for either. ”
"Then will you come with me, it's too cold here......" Chu Ge asked with his arms crossed.
"Oh no, I'm still waiting. The little girl replied firmly.
It's over, I don't know, and I still refuse to go with me, but it should be the granddaughter of the old man in Tsing Yi, because there is no village here, and there are no people, only a stone bridge.
Chu Ge thought in his heart before, if the old uncle's granddaughter didn't want to follow, it wouldn't matter, the problem was that there was a vast snow here, and there were few people, if she was left here alone, she would definitely freeze to death, starve to death, or be eaten by strange beasts, whether she was the granddaughter of the old man in Tsing Yi or not, Chu Ge's conscience would not let him leave this little girl, he had to find a way.
Then Chu Ge took out a fish and dragon mark from his pocket and put it on the little girl's neck, then smiled lightly and said to the little girl: "It seems that you should be waiting for me." ”
The little girl looked at the fish and dragon mark hanging around her neck, and then kept staring at Chu Ge.
"Hungry?"
"Hmm!"
Hearing the little girl's answer, Chu Ge took out a Snickers rack from his pocket, tore open the bag, and handed it to the little girl: "Eat, if you don't eat, you will freeze to death." ”
The little girl took the thing handed to her by Chu Ge, and after taking a tentative bite, she tasted it, and then she devoured it, and finished it in a few clicks.
"Do you want more?"
"Hmm!"
Chu Ge then tore another piece of Snickers to the little girl, but the black beast saw this Snickers rack, and also coveted, and actually wanted to grab the Snickers in the little girl's hand, Chu Ge found out the idea of the black beast, and hugged the black beast, the black beast opened its teeth and danced its claws, "Ha Na", it was not funny.
"Eat quickly! if you don't eat, you're going to be snatched away by this black gluttonous cat!" Chu Ge said to the little girl while hugging the black beast.
The little girl was eating a Snickers and looking at the funny appearance of the black beast, and suddenly laughed contentedly.
The few beams of afterglow sprinkled by the setting sun were reflected on the little girl's immature face full of happiness in her eyes and a smile on the corner of her mouth, which was the most beautiful picture Chu Ge had ever seen in this world.
After that, Chu Ge carried the little girl on his back and took the black beast and slowly walked down the mountain.
- If life is only as it first sees, may the afterglow melt the snow.
