71.The Demon (9)

He Jiuming escaped with his son wolf's mouth. Before dawn was dawn that day, He Jiuming looked haggard and staggered back from the mountain with his son in his arms. This was an amazing thing, at least the prefect who had left He Jiuming behind, and the officials of their yamen were extremely surprised, they were shocked that He Jiuming could really escape from the encirclement of the wolves!

That night, the prefect came to visit the He family's compound, and while moving out of a fake gesture of condolence, he secretly tested He Jiuming.

After this incident, He Jiuming has thoroughly seen the hypocritical face of the prefect, the other party would have promised He Jiuming to help find his son, but he just fell in love with He Jiuming's He family compound, because He Jiuming was going to leave Mohe City to the south, and the house in the He family compound had to be sold to others.

However, the world is uneven, the war is raging, and the people who can afford it have already taken the carriage to the south to a safer and richer place. If you don't have the ability, you can only stay, and you won't have the spare money to buy an empty house as big as He Jiuming.

At this time, the prefect jumped out and took away the house deed and title deed of the He family's compound on the condition of helping to find his son.

He Jiuming didn't bother to quarrel with him, just give the house land or something, he blasted out all these hypocritical people, he emptied the entire house of the He family's compound, closed the door of the He family's compound, and got into the carriage with his son who was still clamoring to go back to see Lu Ning, and left Mohe City on the road overnight.

Until He Qianjue got into the carriage, he kept shouting Lu Ning's name, and He Jiuming, who was called, got annoyed and took a handkerchief to plug his mouth.

"There's nothing Lu Ning!" He Jiuming was upset, there were a lot of busy and troublesome things these days, and he had tried his best to maintain a gentle image in front of his son, but the pressure of life crushed this man, making him can't help but roar at He Qianjue: "Shut your mouth! Don't call out those two words again! Otherwise, I'll lock you in the box!"

Intimidation and threats finally made He Qianjue, an eight-year-old child, stop crying, He Qianjue cowered in the corner of the carriage, sniffing, and wiping the corners of his moist eyes with his sleeve. Then he took out a dirty red ribbon from his pocket, which He Qianjue tied around Lu Ning's neck, but because of Lu Ning's continuous transformation, it was loosened and fell to the ground, so He Qianjue temporarily put it in his pocket.

He Qianjue wrapped the strap around his left wrist and stared at the dirty ribbon for a long time, his eyes turned red again.

"Lu Ning ......," he whispered, repeating the name.

At the same time that the father and son of the He family left Mohe City in a carriage, on Qingzhu Mountain, Lu Ning also dragged his scarred body back to his cave.

In the battle between Lu Ning and the Wolf King, Lu Ning did not win, but it was not a defeat, they fought and both were defeated, the Wolf King may have felt that his body should not be wasted on fighting Lu Ning, because the weather began to snow badly again, and continuing to fight Lu Ning was a thing that outweighed the loss, so it chose to retreat and let go of Lu Ning, who was covered in blood.

In fact, if the wolf king was willing to move seriously, Lu Ning would undoubtedly not be able to defeat it at all.

Because Lu Ning only barely copied the body of the Wolf King, he had the same strong and powerful body as the Wolf King, but he did not have the fighting instinct or fighting skills of the other party, in short, he lacked the same "survival experience" as the Wolf King.

It is because there is no "experience" that Luning is doomed to failure.

Lu Ning himself is also self-aware, so he never dares to take the initiative to provoke the wolf king. But in that situation at that time, he had no choice, in order to protect Qianjue, he could only choose to stand up.

The imitation of the Phaseless Demon is indeed very perfect, but it is not something that can be copied and imitated casually, Lu Ning must have a "transaction" with the object being imitated, and the depth of this transaction determines the perfection of Lu Ning's copy and imitation skills.

In short, the more Lu Ning gets from that imitater, the more complete his "copying" will be.

He can not only copy the other party's appearance and body type, but even copy the other party's memory and soul.

Lu Ning once had a simple deal with this wolf king, and in that clever way, he probably exchanged his own food for the food hunted by the wolf king, which was also included in the category of "trade", so Lu Ning had the opportunity to copy the wolf king's body.

The body of the wolf king is undoubtedly the most valuable thing that Lu Ning has ever imitated, which can allow him to get a place on this Qingzhu Mountain, and he can live a leisurely life every day when he is hungry to catch some small prey to eat, and lie on the edge of the stream to bask in the sun and sleep when he is sleepy.

However, the appearance of He Qianjue changed this qiē, and on the day when Lu Ning relented and sent He Qianjue home, Lu Ning's life would embark on a completely different path. However, until now, Lu Ning didn't understand whether the qiē she had paid for this human cub was worth it.

Yes...... Whether it's worth it or not, I've already paid for it.

Lu Ning lay in his cave and gasped, the group of humans did not completely extinguish the fire in the cave before leaving, so there were still some sparks burning in the fire, exuding a small warmth, so that Lu Ning could forget the pain and coldness on his body for a while, and stare intently at the flames in the fire.

The wound on Lu Ning's body that was bitten by the wolf king was still gurgling with blood, and little by little it seized the power in Lu Ning's body. Lu Ning definitely didn't dare to convert into other images that he had copied at this moment, because his image body could indeed be changed, but the wounds on his body would not, if he was converted into the image of that young deer or He Qianjue, Lu Ning would only die faster.

The wolf king's sturdy body might barely be able to support it for a while, as long as he passed it, and when the wound stopped bleeding naturally and began to heal, Lu Ning would be able to survive.

I'm going to survive.

Lu Ning said to himself in his heart, he thought of He Qianjue, thought of the agreement he had made with the child, they made an appointment to be together forever, so Lu Ning wanted to survive and live to find He Qianjue, just to realize this immature but infinitely beautiful agreement.

……

Lu Ning finally fulfilled the agreement, he did find He Qianjue, but it was six years later.

Six years later, He Qianjue was fourteen years old.

He Qianjue was taken to the south by his father when he was eight years old, and temporarily stayed in a village in the south, which was a small but prosperous small village with hard-working farmers and beautiful landscapes, He Jiuming thought that this would be a good place to stay, and their father and son traveled all the way for a long time, He Jiuming was still good, and he had been to everywhere in his early years, and his body was also tough.

But He Qianjue is not good, this child is only eight years old, and he has been a daughter who has not suffered the slightest injury since he was a child, and He Qianjue's mother did not take care of him when he gave birth to him, and He Qianjue's physique is not as good as other children. The road was bumpy all the way, which naturally made the poor child start to get sick and fever again and again, coupled with various illnesses caused by the water and soil adaptation, so that He Qianjue has been in a state of coma all the way.

He Jiuming felt sorry for his son, so he hurriedly found this place to stay, and tried to see the child. There is also a doctor in the small village, but he is not very skilled in medicine, so he will only look at ordinary and ordinary minor diseases.

He Qianjue's physical condition made this lame doctor helpless and couldn't cure the child's illness, He Jiuming had no choice but to entrust He Qianjue to a very kind village girl in the village to take care of him, saying that he was going to the next town to ask a good doctor to visit and see Qianjue.

However, He Jiuming went like this and never came back.

Because there happened to be bandits in the next town, this group of bandits was a group of outlaws gathered by deserters on the battlefield recently, and the army regulations at that time were very cruel, and once the deserters were discovered, they would be punished with capital punishment, ranging from five horses to death.

Afraid of the law of the country, the deserters did not dare to return to the battlefield or their hometowns, so they wandered from place to place, gathered together, robbed the travelers of property and food, and became bandits.

This group of bandits did not dare to kill the enemy on the battlefield, but they did not show mercy against the unarmed people, and the town next door was slaughtered, all the men were hacked to death, and the women were hacked to death after the women's wheels, and all the property was taken away, and the whole town was covered in blood.

He Jiuming also died there.

When he set off to find a doctor in the next town, he squatted in front of his son's hospital bed and said, "Son...... When Dad comes back with the doctor, your illness will be cured. ”

This sentence is the last sentence that the father and son have said in this life.

He Qianjue was entrusted by her father to a village girl in the village to take care of, this village girl's surname is Sang, others call her Sanggu, she is about thirty years old, she has had a marriage before, but her husband died, or she just married the day she died, since then she has the name of "Kefu", no one in the village dares to marry her, she is just such a person to come over.

Because Sanggu is just a woman, she can't do heavy work, and her family has no financial resources, so she has survived to the present day by cheating, having a relationship with some men in the village and then deducting money from them, which makes Sanggu very ostracized in the village.

However, Sang Gu didn't care about herself, she saw that He Jiuming was from other places, the clothes on his body looked very valuable, and the luggage he carried was quite rich, so she was sure that He Jiuming was a family member, and she thought about getting to He Jiuming as a backer, so she expressed her simplicity and kindness in front of He Jiuming, so that He Jiuming could rest assured that he would hand over his son to her to take care of.

In fact, Sang Gu did take good care of He Qianjue at the beginning, serving tea and pouring water every day to bathe and boil medicine, but after hearing the news that the town next door was washed in blood by bandits, and He Jiuming had not returned for a long time, she guessed that He Jiuming estimated that he was more than lucky, so she swallowed the luggage and property that He Jiuming temporarily put in her house, and as for He Qianjue, she sold it to traffickers.

Because He Qianjue was still sick, the traffickers forcibly cut most of the price on the grounds that he was a defective product, which made Sanggu grit her teeth for a while.

Then He Qianjue was taken away by human traffickers like this.

In that chaotic era, an orphan like He Qianjue, who had no father and no mother, was able to live to adulthood, which was a fortunate thing for three lives and blessed by God.

But the bad thing is that God did not bless He Qianjue.

He was too sick, he had a fever and was completely delirious, and the eight-year-old child couldn't do any heavy work, only his face looked pretty good, and his eyebrows and eyes were good-looking, so the traffickers thought about it, and sold He Qianjue to the most prosperous Qi'er Pavilion in the imperial capital.

In fact, He Qianjue entered there at that time, and he saved his life, because the old bustard in the Qi'er Pavilion was more authentic and invited a doctor to treat He Qianjue, probably because the old bustard also took a fancy to He Qianjue's good face, and felt that with He Qianjue's qualifications, he was destined to be a red card in their museum in the future, so he patiently waited for He Qianjue to become a cash cow and create him a fortune.

The tragedy that followed is almost as anyone can imagine.

Although He Qianjue was cured, the fever was too severe, he was still delirious after waking up, in short, there was something wrong with his brain, he actually became a fool, he was stupid all day long, he kept chanting the word Lu Ning, he was very precious to the red ribbon wrapped around his wrist, no one was allowed to touch it, he touched the red ribbon, Lu Ning Lu Ning kept shouting.

He Qianjue became a fool, but he also fell into the bustard's mind, so that he would not have to resist or disobey orders. The old bustard, who got his wish, immediately let He Qianjue, who was only eight years old, start picking up customers, which was undoubtedly tragic, every day He Qianjue would be stripped naked, washed and thrown into the guests' rooms, and then tortured to the point that he was scarred and inhuman.

That period lasted for a long time, until six years later, when the war burned to the imperial capital, the rebels and rebels entered the city gate, directly cut off the head of the emperor of the current dynasty and hung it on the city wall, and a country and a dynasty were destroyed in this way.

Lu Ning also mixed into the ranks of the rebel army at that time, copying the appearance of a soldier who did not look good, he entered the world in order to find He Qianjue, and searched the world for a long time, chasing the traces left by He Jiuming back then, and finally found He Qianjue in the firewood room of a children's hall.

When he found him, He Qianjue had only one breath left, he had been tortured for too long, he was obviously fourteen years old, but he was still like a ten-year-old child, his body was so thin that his skin was covered with bones, his face was covered with countless scars, he was wearing clothes like rags, and he kept shouting words like "water, water, water ......" in his mouth, and when Lu Ning picked him up, he turned his head to look at Lu Ning. I saw Lu Ning's beautiful red eyes.

Then He Qianjue laughed and shouted: "Lu Ning." ”

He still had a red ribbon wrapped around his wrist, and the young and ignorant He Qianjue wanted to tie a sign to his beloved young deer, the red ribbon was beautiful and soft, and He Qianjue liked it very much. But Lu Ning was very distressed, because the red ribbon was very conspicuous, and when walking in the mountains and forests, it would be targeted by other predators.

But today, he no longer has the strength to tie the red ribbon to Lu Ning.

Even if Lu Ning wanted him to do this, he couldn't do it.

For the first time, Lu Ning realized that humans were such fragile creatures.

Obviously, when he left, he was still a lively child, a child that Lu Ning had been doting on and holding in the palm of his hand. Now only this broken body remains, lying dying in Lu Ning's arms.

Lu Ning really didn't understand, he didn't understand at all.
