Gentleman's Walk Chapter 23 Kunshan Orphans
Mo Bai continued to search, not letting go of every small courtyard, every house, and even the surroundings of every corpse.
However, after some searching, I did not find any useful clues. All you can see is a rotting corpse and a trail of blood almost everywhere.
"Bang dang!"
Suddenly, the sound of an object hitting the ground was heard. Mo Bai pulled out the long sword in an instant, and the true qi in his body also circulated throughout his body at an extremely fast speed.
At the same time, he turned his head to look at where the voice had come from. I saw that it was the location of a larger compound, and this compound was very obvious compared to the surroundings. It seems that it should be the residence of a person with a certain status in this Kunshan faction.
With a sword in his hand, Mo Bai walked straight towards the compound. The two wooden gates in the courtyard had been destroyed, and when I entered the courtyard, I saw the traces of being savagely turned and destroyed, and there was a corpse lying quietly in front of the main house.
Covering his mouth and nose with one hand, Mo Bai stepped into the house with his sword.
But just before the inky white eyes could adjust to the darkness of the room, they felt a dangerous aura in the right rear. Without thinking too much, Mo Bai took a step forward directly to dodge, and at the same time swung a sword in that direction.
"Boom!"
The piercing sound of metal clashing came out, and at this time, Mo Bai had already turned around. I saw a short knife flying out of the house, and landed in the courtyard with a "boom!"
At the same time, Mo Bai also saw the person who attacked him. It turned out to be a little girl of seven or eight years old, and at this time the girl was holding her trembling hands, her face was full of horror, and her big beautiful eyes couldn't stop crying.
Mo Bai was stunned for a moment, and then returned the sword in his hand. He didn't approach the girl, but slowly squatted down, and whispered in an extremely gentle tone: "Little sister, are you from this Kunshan faction?"
The girl didn't answer Mo Bai, but stared at Mo Bai in horror, and at the same time stepped back in fear. It's just that he tripped over the debris on the ground and sat down there.
"My brother is a disciple of Xuanmen, and he will never hurt you, you don't need to be afraid of me. As he spoke, Mo Bai also pointed to the jade pendant that symbolized his identity.
It's just that the girl still didn't mean to speak. But on the contrary, the frightened expression on the girl's face was much softened. Seeing that the girl was no longer so afraid of herself, Mo Bai actually sat directly on the ground, and he tried not to make a big move as much as possible so as not to scare the other party.
A young man and a little girl, neither of them spoke, they just looked at each other quietly.
At this time, Zhou Muyan and Yun Chumeng, who rushed to hear the sound, appeared at the gate of the courtyard. When the two were about to rush in, Mo Bai gently waved his hand at them, signaling them not to come in yet.
Mo Bai's movements were very light, and the girl's tears had stopped at this time, but I didn't know if her tears were dry or something else.
Outside the courtyard gate, although he saw Mo Bai's signal, Yun Chumeng still planned to walk into the courtyard. At this time, Zhou Muyan didn't think much about it, so he directly stretched out his hand to stop her, "Senior Sister Yun, just give it to Senior Brother Mobai." ”
Yun Chumeng frowned at Zhou Muyan, and said with some anger: "He just sat there and didn't ask anything, what's the use of handing it over to him?"
Seeing Yun Chumeng's words and actions, Zhou Muyan's face also turned cold rarely, "Senior Sister Yun, on this trip, Master Zun didn't say that he wanted the two of us to be the only one to follow. I, Zhou Muyan, respectfully call you senior sister, I hope you don't mess around for that little selfishness!"
Zhou Muyan's scolding frightened Yun Chumeng for a while. In the family, she is the eldest lady, and in Xuanmen, she is also an inner disciple who focuses on cultivating various resources and benefits.
"You! How dare you talk to Miss Ben like that!"
Listening to Yun Chumeng's questioning, Zhou Muyan just stopped there and stopped looking at her. The angry Yun Chumeng wanted to draw his sword, but after thinking about it, he stomped his feet and left.
"Alas, your sister still talks about you all day long, and she always praises you to the sky. Zhou Muyan lowered his voice and said to himself.
Inside the house, after staring at Mo Bai for a long time. The little girl said timidly, "You...... You and those bad guys...... Aren't they really in the same group?"
Seeing that the little girl finally spoke, Mo Bai smiled and said, "My brother is from Xuanmen, and he is here to arrest those bad people." My name is Mo Bai, I don't know what your name is?"
"I ...... My name is Xiangling. ”
"Xiangling, a nice name. While speaking, Mo Bai also kept observing Xiangling's expression. Seeing that she had gradually calmed down, she asked softly again, "Xiangling, brother wants to know, is there anyone else here besides you?"
Hearing this, Xiangling lowered her head deeply, and a drop of tears fell again.
After a moment of silence, Xiangling sobbed and said, "My mom and dad...... And grandpa, they ...... All dead. ”
Seeing a sentence that made Xiangling cry, Mo Bai was a little overwhelmed at the moment, "Don't cry, I shouldn't ask." Can my brother take you out of here first? My brother still has something to eat, so you should be hungry too, right?"
Xiangling hesitated for a while, and she looked at Mo Bai in front of her with a soft tone. In the short time they got along, she didn't think that the good-looking brother in front of her was a bad person.
"Okay, Xiangling will come with you. ”
Seeing Xiangling agree, Mo Bai also breathed a sigh of relief. He slowly stood up, and then said, "Brother will take you out?"
Xiangling didn't speak after thinking about it, but nodded slightly.
Then, Mo Bai picked up Xiangling in that extremely unfamiliar posture. After stepping out of the door, Mo Bai gently blocked Xiangling's eyes with his hand.
"Let's go. Mo Bai said to Zhou Muyan outside the courtyard gate.
Zhou Muyan didn't speak, just quietly followed Mo Bai and walked quickly out of the Kunshan faction where corpses were everywhere. Several people returned to the path up the mountain, and Yun Chumeng also followed at this time.
Zhou Muyan handed the dry food and water in the package to Mo Bai, and Xiangling, who was put down by Mo Bai, hid behind him, looking at Zhou Muyan and Yun Chumeng very vigilantly.
"It's okay, they're all from the Xuanmen. This is my senior brother Zhou Muyan, and that sister is my senior sister Yun Chumeng. As he spoke, Mo Bai also showed Xiangling with his fingers.
A few people sat on the ground outside the gate of the Kunshan faction, quietly watching Xiangling take a big bite of food.
At this time, Mo Bai had an irrepressible anger in his heart. When he came here, he didn't feel too deeply when he saw the tragic situation of corpses everywhere. But at this moment, the pitiful and innocent appearance of such a little girl in front of him made him can't help but clench the long sword in his hand.
