Chapter 348: Clever Tricks
Most of these displaced people on the edge of the Shengjing came by trekking on the banks of the Henghe River, where the Yinlu sect and the Dharma Instrument sect were the two wars and disputes, and the local residents could not farm, could not work, and could not settle down. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
As a result, more and more people began to move away from the banks of the Yokogawa. He did not hesitate to work hard, fearless of hardships and dangers, and went to the extreme south and north of the pole, just to hope for a stable life.
People in the wilderness go out, the winter is cold and hot, poisonous insects and beasts, if they encounter bandits, it is even more dangerous. However, these people on the banks of the Yokogawa are not afraid of becoming wandering ghosts on the road to another country, and they also want to leave the land of Shura.
When I saw them, I knew how the banks of the Yokogawa were withered and desolate.
Minsa and still Shu rode their horses in the direction of Luocheng, passing by both sides of the road, the bodies of the homeless people were scattered all over the place, which was not a tragic word to describe the shocking in his eyes.
Whether these people were hacked to death with knives and guns, or they were starved and died, in short, they were all corpses, and their faces were bruised.
There were a lot of corpses in this section, so Minsa and still said that he had no choice but to stabilize the horse, and he couldn't bear to trample on the body of the deceased. And while he was still riding his horse, he suddenly turned back sharply, and looked sharply at the ground.
Minsa knew he must have found something, so he held his breath and turned his head with him to look in that direction. After staring at Xu for a moment, Minsa also knew that he was attracted by something.
Among the three or five corpses, there was a demon who only showed half of his face, and he was also lying upright on the ground. However, if you look closely, his face is not bruised. Moreover, there was a slight heaving of breathing around his neck.
Looking at it again, judging by the height and physique, this should just be a demon child.
Still Shu looked at Minza, jumped off the horse with his leg raised, came to him, and stretched out his hand to test his breath. Fang Cai also saw the rise and fall of his neck, but at this moment, he held his breath and did not snort.
Still shrugged at Minsa, Mingsa looked anxious, and his anxious expression seemed to say, isn't there still breath in Fangcai? Dead in a moment?
Looking at it again, Mingsa understood that this demon child was playing tricks, trying to pretend to be dead, evading the pursuers, and saving his own life.
Still smiling at Minza, signaling that he had a way. In an instant, he walked to the horse, took off the kettle and opened the lid, poured two sips of water into it, and said vaguely: "Hey, it's a thin life again!" I just wanted to give him some water to drink, but I couldn't hold it so soon. ”
"I wonder if the Praetorian Guards in the city will come out to clean up the corpses in a while, will they stab people who have no wounds on their bodies a few more times?" Minsa knew the plan and helped him out.
After the two finished speaking, the atmosphere froze for a moment. There was silence for a while, and after a while, I saw the demon child who showed half of his face, snorted and chirped a few times, and said with a faint breath: "Help me." ”
He was thin, his fingers thin like branches, and he was now struggling to open up, begging for a sip of water.
Minsa and still Shu looked at each other and smiled, and still said: "I actually live again!" ”
Minsa glanced at him, sneered, and motioned for him to go and give the kid a drink, and stop torturing him, otherwise he would really lose his breath in a while. He went over and lifted the boy up and shoved the kettle into his mouth.
As soon as he touched the kettle, the demon child seemed to have grasped the life-saving straw, and his hands came with strength, and as soon as he grasped the kettle, he poured it into his stomach.
"That's it! Drinking too much hurts your body! Still still forced, Fang pulled the kettle out of his hand and took it back.
By this time, Minsa had already taken out the dry food from his horse, sat down on the side of the road, and handed it to the child to eat. This demon child squinted, stunned and only knew how to drink water and eat dry food, and did not raise his eyes to look at people.
After a long time, he seemed to have replenished enough energy, and only then did he open his eyes, and when he saw Minsa for the first time, the corners of his mouth smiled: "The fairy has descended to earth!" ”
His words made Ming Sahuo think of Pei Xing who was far away in the Western Regions. He also called himself a heavenly girl for no reason, straightforward and simple, just like this child at the moment.
"How old are you?" Minsa spoke softly, brushing his stray hair from his forehead.
"Thirteen." The boy was stunned for a moment before answering Minsa's question.
"What about your family? What about parents? ”
Some sadness flashed in the eyes of the demon child, and slowly, a few words burst out: "They're all gone..."
Maybe it's the lower edge of the corner of the demon child's mouth, there is an obvious bruise, so that Minsa can clearly distinguish him from the rest of the demon people, and Mingsa has a special pity for him.
"You're from the banks of the Yokogawa? For refuge? At this time, he interjected.
The boy tilted his head, looked politely at the young man, and nodded heavily, "I'm separated from the others." ”
Still Shu paused, his tone calmed down, and asked in a deep voice: "You just pretended to be dead, are you afraid that the Praetorian Guards will be ruthless with sabers and guns?" ”
This demon kid was alarmed in his heart, raised his eyes to look at still Shu, and asked instead, "Who is Childe?" ”
Still did not shy away from it, and seemed to have the intention of testing him: "I am a military conspiracy of the Praetorian Guard, Blue Wind." ”
Hearing this, the demon child's eyes instantly showed a look of horror: "No, no, I was hungry and fainted, and I didn't pretend to be dead." ”
The corners of his mouth twitched and he smiled: "Don't scare you, I won't hurt you, don't worry." ”
"Childe said that he was a member of the Praetorian Guard, which really scared me to death!" The kid also laughed casually, looking at Still Shu and Minsa with an honest face, his face full of gratitude.
"I didn't lie to you, I am indeed a Praetorian Guard," he said, watching the child fall into fear and hesitation again, "Even if I am a Praetorian Guard, I will not necessarily hurt you!" ”
Seeing that the child was still afraid, he moved his body towards Minsa as far away as possible, and Minsa also smiled and comforted: "Don't be afraid, if he wants to hurt you, he doesn't have to feed you and do it, right?" ”
The demon child looked at Minsa's sincere smile, nodded thoughtfully. Grabbing the small half of the cake in his hand, his heart was entangled, and after a moment, he solemnly replied to the question that Fang Cai still said: "I pretended to be dead, but I really can't run, if I don't lie down and pretend to be dead, I will be killed by them..."
He said a little aggrieved, and his voice was a little crying.
Still Shu stepped forward, grabbed his shoulder, patted him vigorously, and said, "You're right, this is self-help, you're very smart!" ”
The demon child raised his face and stared at him with a pair of incredible eyes, and after seeing it, he didn't forget to look back at the fairy-like Mingsa, revealing a simple and joyful smile.
Perhaps he didn't dare to think that among the senior officials of the Praetorian Guard, there were also good people who did not commit atrocities indiscriminately. After experiencing the tragic death of his relatives in the war, he embarked on the road of exile. Along the way, I have seen the dirtiest side of human nature, and I have met a great good person!
