Chapter 12: The Ugly Little Girl
The Cave of Punishment is also divided into day and night, but it is not the same as the outside world. www.biquge.info There is no sun, no moon, only scattered hot magma and glittering strange stones.
This is actually the interior of Huoshenshan.
When the lava starts to heat up, the stones scattered around the lava pool emit a strong glow, and conversely, when the lava cools, the stones become gray and dull.
Near the exit of the Cave of Punishment, several figures sat there. It's a man and a woman, and a little girl. It is difficult for men and women to see how old they are because of environmental factors, but the little girl is only eight or nine years old. In front of them was a dead green unknown beast. They were eating with relish. Suddenly, there was a slight sound from a nearby cave.
The man in the unknown animal skin looked at him with a jump, turned his head, and looked in disbelief in the direction of the cave entrance. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he saw anyone come in. Because, in this cave there is no time.
Looking at the man's expression, the woman also reacted quickly, and looked at the hole that was more than a foot high in disbelief.
After a moment, they turned their heads and glanced at each other with a hint of worry and excitement in their eyes. What kind of contradictory expression is this?
To be locked up here, it's obviously a person who has committed evil deeds, and they have to be careful, so worried. However, at the same time, they don't know how long it has been since they have seen anyone else, and isn't it a joy to see new faces?
They didn't move, just stared blankly at the small hole. The little girl looked at her parents with strange expressions, and a trace of doubt flashed on her face, but then she was attracted by the piece of meat in her hand, lowered her head and continued to eat.
After a long time, a figure finally appeared at the mouth of the cave, clearly a child! Before the man and the woman could figure out what was going on, he had fallen to the ground.
"Delicious food?" Until this time, the little girl also showed surprise, when she saw Liu Yu, he had already fallen, so she didn't see Liu Yu's appearance clearly. In her little idea, isn't delicious food something that should be grabbed with all the effort to be grasped? Poor Liu Yu was treated as food for the first time...
I don't know how long it took for him to finally have a glimmer of consciousness. There was a moist sensation on his lips, and he struggled to open his mouth, and a trace of water flowed in, and he swallowed hard.
"Mom, look, he's alive. The little girl who had been staring at Liu Yu curiously turned her head and shouted at the woman. When the woman heard the shout, she quickly stopped sorting the meat and walked over.
"Water...," Liu Yu shouted, but his voice was barely audible. Seeing this, the little girl hurriedly picked up a stone jar that she had just put down and carefully poured water into his mouth. In this scorching cave, water is the most precious! It may be the first time that the little girl has seen someone who looks more like herself, so she is a little excited, and her hand shakes, and it actually deviates. A small lump of water poured onto Liu Yu's face, and then ran down his face, leaving a very small and tiny piece of water stain on the ground.
"Mom, I was wrong~" The little girl hurriedly put down the stone jar and lowered her head, not daring to look at the woman.
"It's okay, Niuniu didn't mean it~" The woman's voice was low but soft, with a different style. At that time, her voice was crisp and pleasant, but after staying in this hot place for more than ten years, she breathed the scorching air all day, and her voice had completely changed.
"Oh, but Niu Niu is really wrong, I won't waste water next time. The little girl smiled brightly.
In this short period of time, Liu Yu finally opened his eyes and saw the woman and the little girl. The woman couldn't see her age clearly, and her skin was a little yellowish. The little girl was unusually thin, her skin was black, her hair was yellow, and her whole body was a little miserable and skinny, but her eyes were unusually bright and thorough.
"You saved me?" Liu Yu's voice was a little weak.
"Well, how did you get here?" the woman looked at Liu Yu with a hint of imperceptible vigilance in her eyes, but at the same time there was a hint of hope, as if she was expecting some answer.
Liu Yu's expression darkened, as if he was hesitating, but he finally answered.
"I killed someone by mistake. His voice was a little muffled. Didn't notice the hope in the woman's eyes dissipated.
"Mortal?" the woman's voice carried a hint of doubt.
"Hmm. ”
After a while, Liu Yu finally came back to her senses, only to see the woman's puzzled eyes looking at her. He didn't know why.
"What?" he finally couldn't help but ask her.
"The Punishment Cave only imprisons the disciples of the Fire God Sect, so you must be a disciple of the Fire God Gate. But why don't you have the slightest mana on you?" She obviously saw Liu Yu's condition, not that he had been abolished from cultivation, but that he had no mana at all.
"I can't practice the Fire Fighting Technique. ”
The woman felt like she was going to collapse, and all of this seemed beyond her imagination. The disciples of the Fire God Sect have no mana?! They are still imprisoned in the Punishment Cave?! He and she have been locked up here for more than ten years, how has the outside world changed?
Liu Yu was there in a low voice, obviously not wanting to talk more, and his body was a little weak, so she finally didn't continue to ask anything, turned around and continued to clean up the body of the beast.
"Hey, I'll treat you to eat~" Liu Yu was gloomy there, and was suddenly woken up by a voice. He looked up and saw the ugly little girl in front of him. I saw that she was holding a piece of flesh in her hand, and was looking at him with those bright eyes. She handed the things in her hand to Liu Yu.
Liu Yu was indeed hungry. He didn't know how many miles he had walked before, but it must have been far, far away.
"Thank you~" He took the piece of meat and took a bite.
"Ahem~" A smell of sulfur instantly rushed straight to his mind.
"What's wrong, isn't it delicious?" the little girl looked at him with anticipation.
"It's delicious, it's delicious..."Liu Yu looked at the little girl's expression, and finally couldn't bear it.
"Then you can eat quickly!" said the little girl's face was full of joy.
Children love to share their 'goodies' with other friends. It's an innate talent. It's just that at this moment, Liu Yu's head is full of black lines...
"Ahem, how did you make this meat?" asked Liu Yu weakly.
"That's it!" the little girl gestured to the woman who was cooking food.
Liu Yu turned his head to look and saw that the woman was roasting meat with the flames on the edge of the lava pool. She erected two supports with stones above the flames, and propped the flesh with the bones on the flames. From time to time, he used his hands to turn the bone-in pieces of flesh.
She was almost standing on the edge of the lava pool, so scorching, she actually didn't feel it, what kind of cultivation was this? Liu Yu was stunned. But didn't she know that the flame was made by the burning of sulfur or something?
"That's how your mother usually cooks food?" Liu Yu looked shocked.
"yes, Mom's meat is delicious... It's just that the meat here is too hard to catch. The little girl licked her mouth clearly, with a look of aftertaste.
"To what extent has this child been abused..."Liu Yu wailed in his heart.
"Can you call your mother over?" Liu Yu finally couldn't help it. As the head of the food from the fire cave, he has his persistence.
"Mom~, he called you. Although the little girl was thin, she was full of energy, and her voice came far away.
Liu Yu only felt that the figure flashed, and the woman had actually appeared in front of him.
"You call me?" the woman looked at Liu Yu, who was stunned.
Liu Yu was already stunned by the woman's speed and hadn't reacted yet.
"What the hell is going on?!Don't you see I'm cooking? The woman's voice was urging. You know, once the meat is charred, the consequences...
"Can you call it rice?!Go get the meat, I'll teach you how to cook!" Liu Yu's voice instantly became louder, with a strong confidence.
"Can you cook?" the woman looked at Liu Yu with a suspicious look in her eyes, no, she clearly didn't believe it.
"I'm in charge of the kitchen from the fire cave..."Liu Yu's voice was faint, but it was clearly with undoubted majesty.
