Chapter XVI Temporary Gifts
A high-pitched eagle chirp in the silent night spread unusually far away, and it was rarely heard in this barren forest near the dark forest, it was the voice of the spirit bird wolf eagle.
A few miles away in front of the wooden house, two people with blurred flesh and blood on their feet were prostrate on the ground, trembling, and in front of them, stood the previous monk surnamed Meng, his surname was Mengmingfei, and his father was the current patriarch of the Dream Clan, so this guy never knew what low-key was.
Behind him, there was a group of human slaves led by a few monks, densely packed, and the house and courtyard were full, obviously this was the scale of the merger of the two people.
After a series of eagle chirps, a monk in a slightly different attire walked up to Mengfei's side and said contemptuously, "Found it, it's just a few miles away." ”
"Okay, it's been so long to run this distance, it seems that your rival is a little weak. Mengfei glanced back at Dong Xiong behind him.
Dong Xiong smirked and didn't speak.
"Master, what should they do?" asked the thin young man in the group of human slaves who had come to the wooden house to report the news, pointing to the two men on the ground.
"Well, you don't say I almost forgot, so what do you think they should do?" Mengfei asked the thin guy without looking back.
The young man replied, "In view of the fact that his master has always been kind and generous, and his kindness to men, I suggest that it is better to let them live, and let them continue to saddle their horses before and after them, if they do not die." ”
When the Dream Monk heard this, he nodded and smiled, thinking it was quite interesting, and took the lead in stepping heavily on the back of one of them, and the man immediately spat blood from his mouth and closed his eyes.
If it weren't for the fact that this Dream Clan monk had room to spare, he was afraid that it would not be fun to step on him to death with one foot, and this foot could have stepped him into the dirt.
This is a kind of demonstration, and the unfavorable consequences of doing things are tantamount to an example for those who step behind them.
Mengfei stepped out and said, "You are still a little shrewd, so you will take over the position of the boss in the future." ”
The thin guy hurriedly kowtowed, as if he wanted to knock the dirt out of a hole.
The other human slave saw the tragic situation of the partner next to him, he was half frightened to death, and there were one hundred and ten people behind him, where could he withstand such a trample, and looked at Dong Xiong who was about to step on him with pleading eyes, just the weight of this guy, it was bigger than two people.
Before he died, the man looked at the skinny guy who was snickering...
The fire was like a snake, and the group was slowly approaching, and it was not far from the cave where Xiao San and the others were hiding.

"Here they are. Aomine said flatly, as if he had expected it.
Xiao San was startled and pulled out his narrow sword, he would never question Qingfeng's judgment, even if he didn't feel any noise now.
"Oh no, I was careless, I must have been bleeding all the way from my injuries to let them follow them all the way here. Xiao San blamed himself.
Qingfeng said slowly: "There is no need to blame yourself, you underestimate the monks' methods, they have ten thousand ways to find us, you increase the fire, I am afraid that they will not find it for a long time, I still have gifts for them." ”
Xiao San was stunned for a moment, looking at Qing Feng suspiciously, and he didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd, but Xiao San could hear that Qing Feng still wanted to fight with them.
"Uncle Aomine, let's hurry up, they shouldn't be so fast, or let's hide inside, this place is so big, they may not be able to find us." After Xiao San finished speaking, he wanted to carry Qingfeng on his back.
"No need San'er, you weren't there just now, I have already explained to the two sisters, the uncle is a little tired, I was born in the barren forest, grew up in the barren forest, and I want to stay in the barren forest, this is the place where I was born and raised, I won't leave, and the two sisters will be entrusted to you in the future." Aomine said serenely.
Looking at this barren forest man who seemed to look down on life and death, Xiao San's blurred eyes froze in place!
He knew that Qingfeng had deliberately separated himself before, wanting to explain something to his sisters that was inconvenient for him to know, but he never expected that it would be a life-and-death farewell between father and daughter!
"Go, go all the way from here, and you'll find the exit, which is rarely known, and you'd better flee to the scavenger's lair. But before dawn, you must get out of there, this is your only chance to get out, San'er, did you bring the beast avoidance powder?" Qingfeng raised an arm with difficulty and pointed in one direction.
"Bring it, but..." Xiao San wanted to say something, but was stopped by Qingfeng with his eyes.
Qingfeng looked at his unqualified apprentice, and was relieved in his heart, except for the weakness of his strength, Xiao San was really good, but he didn't hand over his cultivation path to Xiao San, one was that he couldn't teach, and the other was that he didn't dare to teach, at least in this way, when Xiao San fell into the devil, he was still sure to deal with him.
Okay, what should be said and what should not be said is said, you should hit the road as soon as possible, remember to get out of the place of activity of the scavenger as soon as possible, after dawn, it will be difficult to go. Aomine urged.
"Dad, I'm not leaving, I'm going to accompany you, it's a big deal I'll go with them, I don't want you to fight with them anymore, I want our family to live!"
Qingfeng didn't look at her, and said to the junior in front of him: "Uncle Qingfeng's words still work?"
"My life was saved by my uncle, I can return it at any time, I will defend your life if you say it!" Xiao San looked at Qingfeng and said resolutely.
"Very well, draw your sword!" Aomine said.
"Huh?" Xiao San didn't know why, but hesitantly pulled out the narrow sword that had just been returned to the sheath.
"To my heart!" Aomine commanded.
Xiao San categorically did not point his weapon at his benefactor, and subconsciously wanted to retreat, but before he could do so, the narrow sword in his hand had been held by Qingfeng, and blood dripped down the tip of the sword, just like the dripping sound around him.
Aiming the tip of the sword at his heart, Qingfeng said loudly: "I'll count three times, you two sisters won't leave, the next sword will pierce my heart!"
"Dad!" Seeing her father's self-harming behavior, Qingying still refused to leave, and still pounced on her father to care about her.
Syllable!
A crisp sound sounded in the cave for a long time.
The little girl Qingying covered her cheeks, looking back at the sister who loved her the most when she was a child, although the two sisters love to talk back and be noisy, but they are definitely worthy of sisterly affection, she doesn't know that her sister has been filling in the lack of maternal love in her heart.
"Dad, as long as I can get out alive, my revenge, I will avenge you with my own hands!" Qingling's beating hand trembled, and said very seriously, which made Xiao San feel a chill in his heart.
After finishing speaking, Qingling had already dragged her sister Qingying and walked deeper into the cave.
The little sister Qingying no longer broke free, she was already crying into tears, and her desperate eyes kept staring at the father who was always tall and reliable in her heart.
It's not that Qingling is hard-hearted, but she understands the situation at this time, her father forced the three of them to leave in this self-harming way, there must be something unspeakable, or that her father wants to sacrifice himself to save the three of them, if the four of them advance and retreat together, then absolutely none of them can escape, Xiao San was the first to be killed without accident, as a sister, she must also do this.
Qingfeng was silent, tears could only flow in his heart, he knew that at this moment, Qingling had grown up.
Letting go of the narrow sword, Qingfeng looked at Xiao San, and said meaningfully: "I have never thought that everything in the world is absolute, just like the ancient human race cannot soar into the sky like a flying beast, but when the first monk in the world appears, these unattainable things are no longer absolute, do you know what I mean?"
These words were told to him by someone, that person was too good, too beautiful, so that Qingfeng felt that after a day with her, she would have no regrets even if she died, she liked the wind chimes very much, so their first child took the word "Ling" as the name, Qingling, like a cheerful wind chime in the wind, as soon as the wind came, she sang happily.
"I understand, Uncle Aomine, I will use my life to protect the two sisters, and if you want to hurt them, you must step over my corpse. After finishing speaking, Xiao San knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, wiped the tears from his eyes when he got up, and followed the direction of the two sisters.
When a few people walked away, Qingfeng shed turbid tears that had not been shed for many years, and remembered the last time she cried, it seemed that she was leaving.
"Come on, you bastards!" Aomine looked at the entrance of the cave, his expression like he was waiting for an old friend to meet again after a long absence.
·····
The three men with torches walked silently, whimpering all the way, and the two sisters almost collapsed.
When the three of them could vaguely see a hole with a dim starry sky and only enough for one person to enter and exit, a loud noise suddenly came from behind them, which was deafening, causing the mountain to shake violently, and stalactites as big as a hill fell down overwhelmingly, and the three of them hurriedly came out of the hole to dodge.
After running to a safe distance, the three of them looked back and saw that the mountain range, which stretched for an unknown number of miles, had almost collapsed in half.
"Dad!" the two sisters shouted hoarsely as they looked in the direction of Aomine at the same time.
Lacking maternal love since childhood, they know that the only remaining father's love has been drowned in the dust and mud since then with a loud bang.
"This is the gift that Uncle Qingfeng prepared for that group of miscellaneous pieces?" Xiao San was secretly frightened.
Although Xiao San didn't understand how Qingfeng did it, he finally understood that Qingfeng deliberately made the fire very large, the purpose was to attract the group of people into the cave, and then blow up the cave in this way, the intention was to bury the group of people alive in it, and create time and opportunity for the three of them to escape.
Or maybe Qingfeng has already calculated, if those people are lucky enough not to die, and escape to the scavenger lair according to the route he pointed out, then the pursuers must also follow into the scavenger lair, a large number of them, when the time comes, the scavenger will wake up, and a fierce battle will occur, which is equivalent to buying them some time in disguise, This is indeed the best path, the danger is a little dangerous, It seems that Qingfeng is not sure to let those people be buried together, so he has this last resort.
"Is this the last gift from a father to his children?" Xiao San sighed silently, as if he had drunk a few bottles of old vinegar in his heart.
