Chapter 3: I'm on the Run (I)

"But as a mother, you can't restrain her curiosity about the outside world just because of this. Looking outside the door in the direction Hill had left, Glulian's eyes welled up with tears.

She didn't sleep all night, and her body was already weak, and she was a little confused by the impact of this kind of thing: "Diffusion, I want to ask you to protect Ciel, she is my only relative!

"But..."

"I know that as a spiritual man, you have a lot of things to do. But, please do your best to protect Ciel as much as possible, please!" Tears had already overflowed from Lian Yu's eyes and ran down his cheeks.

"Don't... Don't cry, I know, can't I do it?" What Messi was most afraid of was the woman's tears, and looked at Lian Meng at a loss: "I'll help you in and rest first!"

Helping Gru Lian to the bedroom, Diffuse closed the door and went out. In his early years, when he was not a spiritual priest, he was a brother to Hill's father, and later because of some things, Hill's father lost his life to protect him.

He had been blaming himself for this matter, and when Grulian asked himself to protect Ciel, he had no reason to refuse.

"Zhiqiao, Zhiqiao, is Zhiqiao?" Hill shouted as he ran to the middle of the city, knocking on an ornate mahogany door.

"Who are you?" Through the cat's eye on the door, the maid of the house saw Hill outside.

"I'm a friend of Zhiqiao, I'm here to play with him!" said with wide eyes, Hill grinned.

"Knowing that Qiao is not at home, go to the Nirvana Temple to wash the angel mark, you can come back another day!"

"Okay! Thank you, Auntie!" Hill was a little sad when he heard the news, and trotted through a place he often visited.

Tears flowed down his cheeks, leaning against the tree, Hill hugged his legs and buried his head: "Zhiqiao, you are a big liar, you won't discard the angel mark if you say it's good, you won't wash it off if you say it's okay, big liar, Mizi Zhiqiao is a big liar!"

The air here is very good, so there are a lot of children and adults gathered, and seeing Hill running over attracted a lot of people's attention.

"What's wrong with that girl? Seems to be crying a lot?"

"I don't know, whatever, she must have done something bad and was kicked out by her family!"

"Huh, that little girl looks familiar?"

"Ah, I remembered, I heard that she was a fugitive, a fugitive who had touched an ugly flower. ”

"Well, it's a good thing we didn't go up to talk to her, otherwise we'd be ugly!"

"Guard, guard, there's a fugitive over there!" A drunken middle-aged man saw the parade guard, and hurriedly pointed in the direction where Hill was leaving, and shouted: "That's the girl! The girl who touched the ugly flower! He's on the run, hurry up and take it, don't let her infect everyone!"

The three patrol guards came over, and the tall man led by him said: "Uncle, don't joke, people are just a little girl, you are drunk and dazzled!"

Another short guard walked over: "Uncle, our bounty is not for you who is drunk and casually wrongs others, hurry up and go home, don't let my wife find it in a hurry." ”

"But, I really saw it!" the middle-aged man said in a slightly aggrieved tone, picked up the wine bottle and poured it into his mouth again.

The fat guard patted him on the shoulder: "You're drunk and dazzled!

Inside the Temple of Nirvana......

"Don't, I don't, let me go!" Yonzi Zhiqiao struggled desperately, and it was a middle-aged man who forcibly brought him here.

This man is Zhiqiao's father, Mizi Zhonghuan. After applying for a seal for a long time, Mizi Zhonghuan was notified to come over today, and before he woke up, he was carried all the way to the Nirvana Hall by his father.

"Who?" a wisp of fragrance wafted by, and a sound rang in my ears.

Mizi Zhonghuan hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Dear Lord Nirvana, not long ago, the Yonzi family applied for the mark of the adult, and I was notified today, so I came over early." Three years ago, because the family's property was not enough to come to you, so I wronged the child and went to the Angel Palace, because of the regulations of this world, please forgive me. ”

"I only need the angel mark, I don't ......" Before Zhiqiao could finish speaking, his father slapped him in the face. How can a twelve or thirteen-year-old child eat an adult's slap Zhi Qiao fell out a few times, and bright red marks appeared on his face.

Mizi Zhonghuan didn't dare to feel distressed for half a minute, and scolded angrily: "Bastard, don't kneel down yet!"

"Damn, stinky dad, even if I cut off my hand, I won't put any other smallpox imprint!"

Mizi Zhiqiao's nose was sour, and tears appeared in his eyes, and he couldn't stop dripping. Regardless of what happened to his father, he turned around and ran out.

"You bastard..."Just about to get up, he suddenly remembered that this was the Nirvana Temple, and knelt down and pleaded: "I'm sorry adults, the child is young, there is only one son in the family, and he is spoiled on weekdays, I'm really sorry, I'll go back and talk about him well, and I'll come back another day to ask you to clear the angel mark!"

"It's okay, I won't use it next time!

"Ahh Yes!" Zhiqiao's father panicked in his heart and didn't dare to raise his head. Slowly exited the hall before turning to leave.

"Damn, what, what's wrong with the angel mark, why can't you all get used to it, stinky dad!" kicked the stone at his feet, Mizi Zhiqiao said indignantly.

"Angel, where the hell have you been!" Looking at the sky, Zhiqiao looked forward to it, hoping that the angel would return!

"Stinky Zhiqiao, liar Zhiqiao..." was walking, and suddenly a voice insulting himself came from his ears.

Following the sound, a familiar figure squatted by the river not far away, beating the river with this wooden stick in his hand. Around her, the ugly flowers circled around him, fanning their own leaves, as if to comfort her.

Zhiqiao walked in quietly, and the ugly flower approached Zhiqiao, making way for him. Covering her eyes, Zhi Qiao pressed to imitate someone else's voice, and said in Ciel's ear, "Guess I am..."

Before he finished speaking, Hill suddenly turned around, grabbed Hill's arm and bit it: "Big liar, I don't want to play with you!

"What's wrong with me? How did I lie to you?" Hill didn't understand what she meant. I was carried to the Nirvana Hall by my father early this morning, and I was already very annoyed in my heart.

However, in the face of Hill's inexplicable words, although he was a little angry, Hill knew that he was a boy and should be generous. Moreover, my father often said that his mother was unreasonable, and he often joked in his ear that women were the least likely to be reasonable, so he did not vent this anger, but asked.

"Hmph..."With a cold snort, Hill didn't speak, thinking of what he heard when he went to Hill's house today, tears flowed uncontrollably, and Hill ran away while wiping his tears.

"Wait for me!" Zhi Qiao looked dazed and chased after him at a loss.

"Isn't she the fugitive who ordered it today?" Hey, guard, there's a fugitive here!" I don't know who it was, but after seeing Hill run away, he said loudly from behind.

But Hill didn't hear it, and didn't pay attention to it at all.

"What a fugitive!" Hearing the voice, Mizi Zhiqiao suddenly panicked.

On this day, I was wanted by this world, and it turned out that the status of a powerful spiritual priest was far inferior to smallpox in the hearts of many people, and I wanted to know why, but no one gave me an answer.

I had no idea how long I had been running, and I was so sad that I remembered that I was tired and ran to the hill I frequented, hoping that no one would find me.

This is the first time I don't know, it seems that every time I am sad, I have to imagine what the ugly flower will look like after the slime has faded from its body, and this time is no exception, I still fantasize about what its drooping stamens will look like if they bloom like a flame.

"Can you tell me, know Joe, why did he remove the angelic mark?" Sitting on the ground, Hill crossed his legs and tilted his head to look at the ugly flower.

"Poof~" For a long time, Hill sneered, and in his laughter, he was full of self-deprecation, "I'm really a stupid person, I know you can't speak!"

The ugly flower stirs up its own leaves, and it doesn't know what it's trying to say, but Hill can always feel it, and they seem to be amusing you in their own way.

"That's right, you're an idiot!" Zhiqiao's voice sounded not far away, but when Ciel looked up, Zhiqiao had already come to him.

"You stupid, do you know you're wanted, you're still here, hurry up," before she could react, Zhiqiao took her hand and pulled her up and ran away.

"What are you doing!" Hill forcibly shook off Zhiqiao's hand and said, "You big liar, don't come to me!"

"Stupid, is this the time to talk about this? There are a lot of people coming to arrest you in the back, do you know!" As he spoke, Zhiqiao grabbed Ciel's hand again.

"Angel mark?" On the back of Zhiqiao's hand, the angel mark was intact, and Hill was stunned for a moment and asked, "Aren't you going to wash off the angel mark?"

Yonako Zhiqiao replied: "Yes, it was supposed to be washed off, but thinking that some stupid person would be angry, he would definitely have to mess with me for several days." I thought that idiot was bothering, so I came back!"

Smiling back, Chijo pulled Hill and hid in the farmland behind the hills. The golden wheat renders this land golden.

This is the edge of this world, and smallpox orders that the people of this world cannot cross this ring mountain, and those who violate it will be thrown into the depths of ugliness!

"What are you doing?" Hill covered his eyes, and Zhiqiao suddenly took off his shirt and handed it to Hill, "Change into my clothes and take off your clothes." ”

"Why..."

"Don't ask, hurry. ”

"Then you turn around!"

Zhiqiao turned around, and the sound of Hill changing clothes came from behind. "Over there, that little girl must have fled over there!"

Zhi Qiao looked back and observed, the three guards chased this way, the adults ran very fast, and they were still children, they would definitely be caught up quickly.

"Don't look at it, turn your head, people haven't changed it yet..."Zhiqiao only felt a fleshy slap on his body.

"That's it!"

"Really, hurry up and give it to me!"

Hill handed the clothes to Zhiqiao, who turned around and got the scarecrow in the field, put Hill's clothes on them, put them on the ground, and then picked up Hill again and ran away.

Not far away, you can see the houses, which are called Nu Village, named after the water crane, and inhabited by hard-working farmers who grow food for the whole world.

The people who live here are very kind-hearted, and no one here has the mark of smallpox, and they are tired of the existence of smallpox, because smallpox, by virtue of its nobility and beauty, regards them as slaves, and does not want to engrave their mark on them.

"Grandpa!" Entering the village, Zhiqiao came to a house in the middle of the village, and shouted when he entered the door!

The old man with a cane slowly walked out of the back room, and when he saw Zhiqiao, his eyes couldn't help but have a trace of tears, and in his hoarse voice, there was a hint of excitement, "Zhiqiao is here! Come on, come on, come here, let grandpa see!"

Zhiqiao nodded and got into his grandfather's arms, and after the old grandfather saw the slap marks on Zhiqiao's face, he said distressedly: "Good boy, how did you get this?"

"No, Zhiqiao is disobedient, so my dad hit it, and it's not in the way!"

"Who is this old man?" Ciel, fearful, hid behind Zhiqiao and whispered in his ear.

"Don't be afraid, He's my grandfather, let's hide here today!" Rubbing Ciel's head, Zhiqiao soothed her.

"Hmm!"

"Hehe, the little girl is very beautiful, did your father give you a sister again?" Seeing Hill, the old grandfather's kind smile made Hill feel warm in his heart, and he didn't know why.

"No, grandpa, she's my best friend, and the abominable guards are going to arrest him because of a little thing. We've all the way here!" Zhiqiao explained.

The old man waved to Zhiqiao: "They are all good children, come to grandpa's house, none of them want to take you away!"

"Tricked, what a cunning child!" the short guard complained.

"What's wrong?" asked the tall guard.

"The girl ran away, and we saw her clothes, you see!" said the short guard dissatisfied, holding up the scarecrow in his hand.

"Haha, what a smart boy, it's amazing to think of such a solution!" the tall guard did not hesitate to praise himself, and the other fat guard laughed along.

"Alas~ The bounty of three hundred disappeared out of thin air like this, so unwilling!"

"If you don't want to do anything, let's go back first, maybe she's already back! ”

"Hmm!" nodded, and the three guards gave up the pursuit and turned to leave.

As for the village not far away, they would not have rushed in, it was a place where slaves lived, and if they went, it would belittle their status.

"Zhiqiao..."Hill pouted, and was about to cry out of grievance.

"What's wrong?" Zhi Qiao turned his head and looked at Hill's appearance, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed in his heart.

With a sigh, he came to Ciel's side. Wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, she rubbed her head with her little hand and comforted, "Don't worry, you can stay here today, I'll go back and tell Aunt Lian Ming, otherwise Auntie will be worried." ”

"Hmm..."Hill also knew the seriousness of the situation, and, seeing that dusk was approaching, he would not go back, and his mother should be worried. "Then you come over early tomorrow..."

"Hmm!" Zhiqiao nodded, then turned and ran away. Hill watched him until Zhiqiao disappeared from his vision.

The reason why Hill is staying here now is also because he is worried that the three guards will be waiting for the rabbit, and it will not be good if he goes back and will be caught.

"Hungry, let's get something to eat!" Zhiqiao's grandfather came over with a plate of pumpkin pie, and the tantalizing aroma made Hill's stomach growl.

One day, from noon to now, Hill learned from the servant of Zhiqiao's family that he had gone to the Cena Heart Seal, and so much time had passed unconsciously, and her stomach did not feel hungry at all, and it was not until now, when Zhiqiao's grandfather's pumpkin pie appeared, she felt that her stomach was empty.

"Eat slowly, be careful of choking, these are all yours!" Watching Hill gobble up, Grandpa Zhiqiao said at a loss. He didn't have many children, and a year after he knew that Joe was born, his father denied his poverty and left with the family.

"Ahem, cough, cough..."

"Oh, grandpa will bring you water..."Seeing that Hill choked, Grandpa Zhiqiao suddenly panicked, and hurriedly went to the kitchen to take out a pot of warm water.

"Thank you, Grandpa..."

Hill's family, who was worried about Hill's safety, seemed to have found a place for his heavy heart to settle down when Zhiqiao arrived in a panic.

"What are you talking about, Ciel is wanted?" Diffuse and Lian Meng were a little frightened, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, tell me quickly, tell me quickly!"

"Aunt Lian Luo, don't worry about it yet, Hill is in Nu Village now, at my grandfather's. I also suddenly learned about Hill's wanted, and I think it was probably because of the smallpox crane. ”

"Shuihe, why do you have to get along with a child with a smallpox!" Diffuse clenched the sword in his hand, the green tendons on his arms exposed, "I'll go back when I go!"

"Diffuse..."

"Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything stupid!" gave Lian Meng a reassuring look, turned around, and jumped into the river across the road.

"Then I'll go first, Hill she's there alone, I'm worried that he won't get used to it, so I'll go back quickly. Goodbye, Aunt Lian Ming!" waved his hand, and Zhi Qiao also turned around and left.

"Ciel, please, don't be fine!" tears flowed down Lianyu's cheeks, and she prayed in her heart.

Hill's house is a long distance away from Zhiqiao's grandfather, and when the bright moon hangs in the sky, Zhiqiao rushed to his grandfather out of breath: "Hill, I'm back!"

"Shhh

"Ahh Oh..."

"Goo~"

"Huh. If you're hungry, grandpa has prepared a delicious pumpkin pancake for you, come and eat some. ”

On the plate, there were still a few pancakes left, and Zhi Qiao hadn't eaten them for a long time, so he picked one up and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

"Alas~ Why are children like this now, eat slowly, everyone will grab it from you!" As he spoke, the old man turned around and went to the kitchen to bring out the boiling water, took out two bowls and put half a bowl of water.

"Grandpa, what are you doing here?"

"Grandpa is afraid of you, you will choke for a while, put it like this, it will be cool. ”

"What's so troublesome, just blow it!"

"Grandpa is dirty, it's okay, you can eat it quickly!"
