Chapter 107: Trouble Comes to the Door
There was a whining cry in her arms, and Qing Ming knew that it must be the little girl who was worried about her safety. Qing Ming touched the little girl's head, even though her face was pale, the corners of her mouth still barely showed a smile.
"Didn't I wake up!"
The little girl was already teary-eyed.
After the little girl came in, a sturdy figure appeared at the door, and I saw the man walking towards Qing Ming against the light, and Qing Ming couldn't see his face clearly.
"Brother, you're awake!" Immediately after, Qing Ming heard the man's voice.
Xiang Ji walked into Qing Ming, and Qing Ming looked at Xiang Ji's face. The person who came was dark-skinned and looked very healthy, and his body was strong, so he must have exercised regularly, and his honest smile showed that he was an honest man.
"This ..... Where is this?" said Qing Ming's tone weakly.
"This is Xiang Ji's brother's home, he found us down on the side of the road, so he brought us back" Before Xiang Ji could speak, Lingxi beside him explained instead, and Xiang Ji just nodded on the side.
"My name is Qing Ming, thank you Brother Xiang for saving your life!" Qing Ming sincerely thanked him.
"Hehe, you're welcome, I'm also passing by and happened to bump into you, if it were someone else, they would have done the same!" Xiang Ji said.
Qing Ming was noncommittal, he carefully observed Xiang Ji, Xiang Ji had no spiritual power fluctuations on his body at all, could he be just an ordinary person? Qing Ming was surprised in his heart, he always felt that Xiang Ji was not simple.
"If it's okay, then I'll go out first!" Xiang Ji smiled, then turned his head and walked out of the room.
Qing Ming nodded to him, and after a moment, he turned his head to look at the little girl beside him.
"You're all right, are you? I'm sorry I couldn't get you out in time, ahem......"
"No... No, if it weren't for Brother Qingming, I'm afraid Xi'er would be ...... by now" Lingxi saw that her tears were about to overflow again, Qingming hurriedly stroked her forehead and said, "Xi'er has to be strong, now that you are free, don't cry at every turn, you know?"
"Well, Xi'er knows!" Lingxi pouted, trying her best not to let herself cry.
"That's good!"
......
Qing Ming recuperated in Xiang Ji's house for two days, and the injuries in his body gradually recovered, and on the third day after waking up, he could get out of bed and exercise, which really surprised Xiang Ji.
However, this is also thanks to Xiang Ji, he goes into the mountains every day to hunt, and selects some demon beasts with good meat quality and nutritious fat, Qing Ming was naturally treated, on the one hand, he stepped up his recovery, and on the other hand, thanks to Xiang Ji's food.
The two old farmers were also very enthusiastic, treating Qingming and Lingxi as their own children, the two old men were kind at heart, and they didn't want anything else in their age, they just hoped to enjoy their old age in peace. Xiang Ji is also very filial, and everything in the house is taken care of by him.
Qing Ming experienced the life of ordinary people who were different from cultivators, simple and content.
"Brother Qingming, your injuries are completely healed?"
As soon as Qing Ming stepped out of the house, the voice of Xiang Ji was heard not far away, at this time he was chopping wood in the courtyard, the wood was as big as an ordinary bucket, but under Xiang Ji's hands, it was as easy as cutting tofu.
"Thanks to Brother Xiang Ji's care for the past few days, now I am almost recovered!" Qing Ming had a smile on his face, although he said so, no one knew his injuries better than him, and it would take at least a few days to fully recover.
The two old men also came out of other places, supporting each other.
"Little brother, you just come down like this! hurry back to the room and lie down and rest" Seeing this, the old woman hurriedly urged Qing Ming.
"Grandma, Brother Qingming's injuries are almost healed, and now you need to exercise more to get better faster!"
"Old woman, young people should be more active, don't worry about it!" said the old man.
"That's right!" the old woman suddenly realized, "Then you should also pay attention, don't break your body again, hey! Although you are young, there is no need to toss your body!"
Qing Ming nodded with a smile, and Ling Xi secretly covered her mouth and smiled on the side, the current Ling Xi is not at all like what she looked a few days ago, at this moment she is only an eleven or twelve year old child anyway, she should have the innocence and liveliness of this stage.
"Mother, it's you who want to rest more, Brother Qingming's body is good, just listen to me, don't do too much work" Xiang Ji in the distance also looked here.
"Good... Mother, go and rest now, you don't have to be too tired!" The old woman turned her head to look at Xiang Ji, and then went into the house with the old man to rest.
When the two of them left, Qing Ming still wanted to say a few words to Xiang Ji, his eyes skimmed behind him, and suddenly found a group of people walking towards them, Qing Ming frowned, they should still come, but their speed exceeded Qing Ming's expectations.
He can't bring this disaster here!
"Xi'er, you go into the house to take care of your grandparents, no matter what happens in the outside world, don't come out" Qing Ming turned his head and glanced at Ling Xi beside him, Ling Xi's face was stunned at this time, and when he saw the group of people in the distance, he instantly understood what Qing Ming meant, and hurriedly ran to the house.
Xiang Ji also realized that something was wrong with his gaze, put down the giant axe in his hand, turned to look behind, and saw a dozen or so people walking towards his side of the house from a distance.
In a few moments, they were in front of the door.
The person who walked in front kicked open the closed door, and then walked into the courtyard in a menacing manner.
Qing Ming had also come to Xiang Ji's side at this time, and when he saw that group of people breaking into the door so rudely, it was impossible for Qing Ming to let them walk out of this courtyard without damage.
He glanced at Xiang Ji beside him, and was really afraid that he would not be able to hold his breath and come forward to reason with them, thus suffering a loss. However, looking at Xiang Ji's calm face, Qing Ming was obviously worried.
"Two martial artists, the rest are all warrior level!" Qing Ming secretly looked at the cultivation of this group of people in his heart, these people were either from the Imperial Beast Sect or from the Liang family in the Heavenly City.
"Have you seen these two people on the screen!" The man who first stepped into the courtyard took out a bundle of picture scrolls, and immediately unfolded them in front of Qing Ming and Xiang Ji.
On the screen, a black-robed man and a little girl are depicted, it is Qing Ming and Lingxi.
"I didn't see it!" Xiang Ji looked at the portrait with a blank expression and shook his head.
"Didn't you see it?" the man's face sank, and he kicked Xiang Ji's body, "Useless thing, these two people disappeared near you, they're really blind!"
Xiang Ji was kicked for no reason, flew out directly, and fell heavily on the pile of wood next to him, and the wood that had been piled up was scattered all over the ground.
Qing Ming, who was standing on the side, watched all this, and just wanted to teach these people a lesson, when he heard an eager voice from the room behind him: "Halberd, are you okay?"
It was the old couple who walked out of the house, and Ling Xiya behind them couldn't stop them no matter what.
"It's broken!" Qing Ming's heart sank, I am afraid that this matter has been exposed. Sure enough, as Qing Ming expected, after the man saw Lingxi, he looked at the characters in the painting again, and beckoned everyone: "That's right, it's her!"
As the words fell, everyone behind him rushed to the house in unison, trying to catch Lingxi.
But as soon as he took a few steps, he was blocked in the center by a figure!
"One step further, or you die!" Qing Ming said indifferently as he looked at everyone.
