Chapter 186: The only way to save one's life is to sacrifice one's life
A lonely grave, without a monument, with a few flowers in front of it, somewhat withered.
"It's been three days, and you haven't eaten a drop of water. Xiao Wu leaned down, looked at the girl and said.
The girl remained silent, kneeling silently in front of the grave. In the past three days, she didn't say a word, she couldn't bear to kneel, so she just sat here, and then continued to kneel.
"Your father wouldn't want you to be like this, he's going to rob the convoy, presumably to keep you alive. ”
The girl raised her head and looked at Xiao Wu, her mouth moved slightly, but she didn't say anything after all.
She guessed that Xiao Wu had appeared there a long time ago, and now that she heard Xiao Wu say this, she knew that her guess was not wrong. She had hated Xiao Wu, why didn't she make a move earlier, but after calming down, she found that she had no reason to hate him, because her father and her own weakness came too late to hate the protection of the strong?
She hated herself, she hated this world of the jungle, but no one would listen to her complaints, so she was silent.
Xiao Wu looked at the girl in front of him, who was younger than herself, about eleven or twelve years old, but the beauty between her eyebrows and beards had already been revealed, and three days of sleepless sleep made her even more lovable, with red, swollen and tearful eyes, and white and cracked lips......
Xiao Wu didn't say anything more, just took out a piece of clothing and put it on the girl.
The girl turned silently, facing the lonely grave, with her back to Xiao Wu.
On the fourth day, the girl fell in front of the grave, and Xiao Wu put the girl on horseback and continued to walk into the distance.
The girl struggled to open her eyes under the jolt on horseback, and when she was about to lose sight of the lonely grave, tears finally fell again, and then her consciousness sank into the infinite black abyss.
Xiao Wu glanced at the girl who had passed out, and he let out a soft sigh.
The spring breeze was cold, Xiao Wu looked at the girl who was trembling slightly, he found a broken temple to shelter from the wind, lit a fire, and placed the girl next to the fire.
"Strange...... There was some resistance in my heart from the time I came in......" Xiao Wu muttered to himself, and this resistance quickly dissipated.
By the heat of the flames, it didn't take long for the girl to wake up.
"Drink the hot soup. Xiao Wu took out the basin that was on the fire, poured some out of the bowl, and then handed it over.
"Thank you. The voice was a little hoarse, a little unrecognizable, but the girl finally spoke.
The girl must have been very hungry, and she quickly drank up the bowl of boiling soup, and then her eyes fell on the basin, and she did not speak.
"You can only drink so much now, and I'll give you the rest later. Xiao Wu explained, putting the basin away.
"Hmm. The girl nodded, said nothing, sat up with her knees folded, and watched the flames dance.
"Now...... Xiao Wu paused, "I'm sorry for what happened before, if I hadn't hesitated at the time, maybe it wouldn't have been like this." ”
The girl smiled a little, and she said, "You don't need to say sorry, my father and I are in the wilderness, and death is a matter of time." Even if it hadn't been for that day, the two of us would have been eaten by those manibalistic maniacs. ”
Cannibalism...... Xiao Wu's heart trembled, can people really be like beasts? He looked at the girl in front of him, she seemed to be stronger than he imagined.
"You saved me, thank you. The girl looked at Xiao Wu and said, her throat was moistened by the soup, she was no longer so hoarse, and her voice was very crisp.
"It's just a matter of effort. Xiao Wu shook his head, "You haven't rested for a long time, let's sleep for a while." ”
"No, I don't. The girl shook her head, "I can sleep on horseback." ”
Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment, he smiled and patted the girl's head, "Rest in peace, I'm not in a hurry." ”
The worry in the girl's eyes faded a little, and she asked in a low voice, "Can I sleep on you?"
"Okay. Xiao Wu held the girl in his arms and watched her breathing gradually become even.
"I can't even practice like that. Xiao Wu smiled bitterly, but still put on a pose that made the girl more comfortable.
Seeing that it was getting dark outside, Xiao Wu gently moved the girl to the ground, and he took out the basin and put it back on the fire.
The flames were like countless tongues, licking the iron basin, and soon the soup inside was hot.
Xiao Wu shook the girl gently, and when the girl's eyes opened, he said, "Let's get up and eat something first." ”
"Hmm. The girl quickly sat up.
"You saved me, I don't know your name yet. The girl drank slowly while observing Xiao Wu with her peripheral vision.
"My name is Xiao Wu. Speaking of which, I don't know your name yet. ”
"Xiao Wu...... Brother?" The girl tilted her head to look at Xiao Wu, as if waiting for his affirmation.
"You can call it that. Xiao Wu nodded, "You haven't said your name yet." ”
"My name is Long'er. The girl puffed up her chest slightly, "My mother died early, and my father did not remarry. He had hoped that a son would inherit the family business, but he had to pin his hopes on me. ”
"Long'er......" Xiao Wu called in a low voice, then he looked at the girl and asked, "Do you have any plans?"
"My father is gone, and I have nowhere else to go. The girl looked a little lost, "If Brother Xiao Wu thinks I'm a burden, just wait until you pass by a certain town and sell me to a big family." ”
As she spoke, the girl's expression became even more desolate.
"No...... Yes......" Xiao Wu shook his head, "The place I'm going to is dangerous, and I may not even be able to take care of myself." ”
The girl showed a smug smile, she knew that Xiao Wu would not leave her behind, it was enough, she drank the rest of the soup, looked at Xiao Wu and said seriously: "Brother Xiao Wu, my life was saved by you, I just want to stay by your side." ”
Xiao Wu sighed in his heart, he had just left the young evil in the Mixed Yuan Dao Sect, why did he have another person entanglement now?
"I really can't take care of you, I'm going to go to the Holy Mountain, and very few people who go there come back. Xiao Wu explained.
"Brother Xiao Wu, I am twelve years old this year. The girl said calmly, "Maybe you can survive alone in the wilderness." ”
Xiao Wu rubbed his head, he clearly saw that under the girl's calm eyes, there was a hint of treacherous smile, and he really couldn't do anything about the girl named Long'er in front of him.
"Would you like to drink more?" Xiao Wu asked, holding the basin.
"Hmm. The girl nodded.
Looking at the smug girl, Xiao Wu had been completely defeated, but he was also relieved in his heart, this girl finally came out of the shadow of her father's death.
In this dilapidated mountain temple, the two stayed for three days and three nights, and then Xiao Wu incorporated some of the dust from the pill into the soup, and the girl did not feel any discomfort.
"Brother Xiao Wu, let's continue on our way. The girl took the lead and led the horse.
"Good. Xiao Wu turned over and got on the horse, then pulled the girl into his arms, and greeted the spring breeze, and the two disappeared into the sky.
The pill improved the girl's physique, and the two didn't need to rest for too long, and the itinerary that had fallen before gradually caught up.
"Brother Xiao Wu, why did you go to the Holy Mountain?" asked Long Er leaning on Xiao Wu's arms.
After a few days of getting along, the girl took Xiao Wu as a dependent.
"There's a miracle medicine there, and I'm going to save my friend. Xiao Wu returned like this.
"However, it is very dangerous there, and it is very likely that you will not be able to come back. Long Er replied.
"Her life is on the line, and she saved me, no matter how dangerous it is, she will go. Xiao Wu's gaze was firm.
"Hmm. Long Er nodded, and then asked, "Brother Xiao Wu, have you ever thought about what will happen if you can't come back?"
Xiao Wu was silent, he knew that the Holy Mountain was dangerous, he knew that the Holy Mountain would go and not return, but he didn't think about what would happen if he didn't come back?
"Does your friend know that you are going to the Holy Mountain?" Long Er continued to ask, and Xiao Wu could only remain silent.
"That is to say, even if Brother Xiao Wu can never come out again, your friend will only be missing when you are missing, and maybe he will never know for the rest of his life that you disappeared because you were collecting medicine for him. The dragon tilted his head and looked behind him.
"If I really die in the Holy Mountain, then I will trouble Long'er to send me a message. Xiao Wu smiled.
Long Er shook her head slightly and didn't say anything more.
Looking at the girl in his arms, Xiao Wu asked, "Long'er, are you really only twelve years old?"
Long Er smiled, "I am indeed only twelve years old, but my mind grows faster, a year ago, when the world was not chaotic, my father also found someone to see it for me, the doctor of the tour party said that my mind is a few years older than my peers, if it is only about the mind, you have to call my sister." ”
Xiao Wu was stunned, and then said with a smile: "Even if you are twenty years old, you are still a twelve-year-old girl, you still have to call me brother." ”
Long Er turned her head and grimaced, "Brother Xiaowu, you are only one or two years older than me, and you are embarrassed to call me a little girl." ”
Laughing all the way, the mountains and forests retreated quickly behind the two.
"Brother Xiao Wu, thank you. Long'er showed a trace of loneliness on her face, she had been suppressing the sadness of her father's departure in her heart, and only then did she show a little.
Xiao Wu gently stroked the girl's head, he noticed that Long'er was depressed, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Long Er shook his head, tears slowly slipped, and he lay on the horse's back and cried.
Xiao Wu pulled the reins, reported the dragon down, and let the girl vent her emotions to the fullest.
At this time, someone walked towards the two.
"Senior brother, there are two children there!" In the distance, the two were side by side, and one of them saw Xiao Wu first, his face full of excitement.
"Yes, if you catch these two people, it should be about the same. The other laughed.
As they spoke, the two of them had already rushed towards Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu noticed the two people approaching, and he noticed that the aura of those two people was not strong, so he didn't pay much attention to them.
"Two children over there, it's too chaotic ahead, there will be a big problem for you to go by yourself, I'll take you over. One said.
Long'er heard someone approaching, moved a few steps towards Xiao Wu, and then asked, "Who are you, why should we trust you?"
Xiao Wu was also looking at the two of them, he noticed that the two of them looked unkind, and he was also curious about their purpose.
"We're immortals. The two said with a smile, they noticed that neither of them had aura, they no longer cared about anything, and laughed very freely.
The two didn't continue to say anything, the two little guys didn't have to waste their tongues, just grab and take them away, and after saying that, the two of them grabbed the two of them together.
Xiao Wu's eyes narrowed slightly, he protected Long Er behind him, and said coldly: "Do two people who have crossed the Huiling realm dare to bully people so openly and brightly?"
Hearing Xiao Wu mention the realm, the pupils of the two shrank together, and what Xiao Wu said was very accurate, which made the two of them have doubts in their hearts.
But Xiao Wu really didn't have any aura fluctuations, and the two of them just paused for a moment before approaching Xiao Wu again.
Xiao Wu stopped talking, a long sword suddenly appeared in his hand, and a panicked look appeared on the faces of the two people opposite, but it was already too late.
