Volume 1 Mortal Sin 10 Are you afraid?
By the time Zheng Ming woke up, it was already noon the next day, the still drowsy sky shrouded the land, and from time to time it was still able to escape from one or two rays of light to shine down, the heavy rain overnight did not eliminate the pungent blood on the battlefield, this unpleasant smell was blown by the strong wind and was even stronger, this heavy rain also washed away the stains on You'er's body for many years, and the sun shone on her face, revealing that delicate face.
According to the contours of You'er's previous face, Zheng Ming guessed that You'er belonged to that kind of small and delicate face shape, but when he saw this face for the first time, Zheng Ming was still temporarily distracted, if it was placed in the previous world, a look like You'er could almost be called a goddess by many men, from small and elastic lips, to the smooth bridge of the nose, the delicate facial features were like being engraved on it by a famous painter, looking at You'er's frowns from time to time, Zheng Ming had an urge to kiss gently.
In the end, all beauty is defeated by the stench of the environment.
Like You'er, Zheng Ming also felt a violent nausea coming from his heart at this time, he covered his mouth but didn't dare to make too many movements, for fear of waking up the poor girl and forcibly suppressing this discomfort before he had time to check his masterpiece.
This purgatory-like scene really scared him, yesterday because he was too tired, although he knew what he had done, but in a trance, he directly ignored the surrounding environment, and it made him very happy to see that You'er was still alive.
The book said that yesterday he would have taken four people with him to participate in the hunt, and that they would be wiped out in this hunt, but now, he didn't need to ask about the specific four people, he didn't feel much fear of the mysterious future, he felt capable of changing all this, although he still miraculously survived as his father said.
Thinking of the miracle, he suddenly remembered the brilliant bead, yesterday he personally experienced the magic of this bead, if it was not for this bead, he didn't dare to imagine what the final result would be, not only would he die, but after he died, could it be that under the attack of that number of lizardmen, You'er would still be able to live?
"How do you feel like you're still in the hands of someone......"
Zheng Ming suddenly had another doubt.
"If that book is really that magical, and according to the usual case, the death of four people is a given, then there shouldn't be any danger to the others, but if these lizardmen had killed me, would they not have attacked the camp, and would they have only killed the four people? If that book is indeed so magical, how can these lizards be explained, and if these lizards are the "established" future, how can that magical book be explained?"
He carefully recalled everything about the book, according to his father, he and the four people who should have died would encounter a team of lizardmen, and they would all be brutally killed and devoured by this team, and the fate of the record was not as many as these countless lizardmen.
Often the only explanation, no matter how incredible its existence, is highly likely to be the truth behind it.
"Looks like I'm underestimating this bead."
After a slight moan, You'er woke up slowly, and when she entered her eyes, she saw the tragic situation around her again, and the scene in front of her still gave her a great impact. Sensing You'er's strange appearance, Zheng Ming sat up and hugged her into his arms amid her exclamation.
Listening to Zheng Ming's comfort over and over again, You'er's heart gradually calmed down, and the scene in front of her was no longer so terrible, for so many years, it seemed that knowing that the young master was there, the young master would clean up all the troubles for her, recalling what happened yesterday, she somewhat understood why Xiao Tian liked the young master so much, such a gentle, and able to give people a sense of security.
The thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl first developed a love for the opposite sex, and she was out of control, and she was still four years younger than her...... The more he thought about it, the more shy he became, a touch of crimson floated on his cheeks, and You'er buried herself deeply in the young master's arms, but then jumped away with a "yah". It seems that she noticed that the bone armor on Zheng Ming's body has been shattered, and her white chest is not hidden at all, "Young Master, your bone armor is ......" Zheng Ming shook his head, You'er's lively nature soothed his gloomy mood a lot, and then laughed happily.
"Don't laugh, don't laugh, You'er ignores the young master" You'er muttered in protest.
......
"They're awake, they're awake," just in time, such a call came from the direction of the camp and successfully attracted the attention of the two men.
This made Zheng Ming a little gloomy again, he still remembered the performance of the clansmen yesterday, he knew very well what these selfish and timid people were thinking, what they were afraid of, he knew that in the eyes of the clansmen, he had become more terrible than those lizard people, not only that, these clansmen seemed to see them as ominous disasters, and yesterday's horrific scene was obviously aimed at Zheng Ming.
Zheng Ming knew that he couldn't go back home. But he still wanted to see his father and mother, and he also wanted to see the girl he regarded as a friend.
"I won't hurt you, can you let me see the eldest and eldest father again" Zheng Ming raised his hands and tried to communicate with the clansmen, "If I can, I still want to see Xiaotian" It's just that the voice is too small for anyone to hear.
Following the servants' orders, a man came out from the back of the crowd, and the man was so energetic that Zheng Ming didn't recognize him immediately, "You are...... Third uncle?" "Yes, this is Zheng Ming's third uncle, who deliberately dressed himself up, in order to look imposing.
"Ming'er, the eldest brother and sister-in-law don't want to see you again, now the clan affairs are handed over to me to take care of, if you have any needs, you can talk to me"
"After all, you're our hero!"
The second uncle's "big hero" sounded extremely harsh to Zheng Ming, and he felt disgusted that the second uncle was still so high-sounding at this time, even more disgusting than sleeping in the corpse pile of the lizardman.
"The eldest brother sent you a mission, he saw that you have such strength, and wanted you to explore the lizardman's cave, the second uncle suggested that Ming'er should go out and avoid for a while, presumably there is nothing outside that can hurt you"
The second uncle saw that Zheng Ming didn't answer, so he continued, and Zheng Ming felt like a big hand grabbing his heart after hearing this, he could feel every force between the fingers of the big hand, and these forces brought him unspeakable pain "Even my father ......" He didn't want to look at the expressions of the rest of the clansmen, and he didn't want to worry about the third uncle in charge of the clan, what kind of treatment these clansmen would suffer had nothing to do with him, and he had no strength to care.
Zheng Ming knelt on the ground, held up his hands, and kowtowed three times to his parents' barracks, even if his father and mother didn't want to see him, they were still their own parents, and filial piety came first!
"You'er, are you afraid?" Zheng Ming stood up and took You'er's outstretched hand.
"You'er is not afraid, when she first followed the young master, she said that she was not afraid, and now she will not be afraid" The girl seems to have grown up, or she hopes that she will no longer be in danger like yesterday, and she still needs the young master to fight hard to protect her.
The two figures leaned against each other and walked farther and farther away, gradually disappearing into the vast wilderness.
