Chapter 123: Emma
The girl, like Lot, had wheat-yellow blonde hair.
But her petite body stood in the crowd, but it looked so out of place, and even a little funny.
Among all the people present, Liao Qi was the first to react.
He quickly replaced the surprise in his eyes with a look of respect, and Liao Qi touched the girl's head and asked softly
"Can I tell my brother your name?"
"Emma!"
The crisp sound of children's voices echoed in the open space of the village.
Emma was very serious and read her name to Liao Qi.
"Emma, okay, brother remembers you."
Liao Qi also nodded very intently, and from his expression, he couldn't tell that he was talking to a child at all.
And at the same time
When the girl reported her name, behind Liao Qi, the demon from the academy, Sophie, suddenly lost her expression again.
The next fairy woman, the kind of bystander who was going to stay out of her body before, disappeared.
As if she wanted to confirm something, she fixed her eyes on the girl's face.
However, Liao Qi didn't notice the abnormality of Sofer behind him.
Right now, he's putting all his energy on little Emma.
"Emma, can you let your brother know why you would be willing to help him?"
Liao Qi said the biggest problem in his heart.
The reason why he still has to ask questions to the children is more just to convey his determination to the other villagers present.
To be honest, even Liao Qi never thought that in the end, it would be just a girl who would stand up in the village to support him.
And it really is
Do you know the result of everything until you have done it?
On the other side, after Emma heard Liao Qi's question, she still answered very quickly without the slightest hesitation.
"Because of Daddy!"
"Daddy?"
"Yes, Mom told me that it was Dad who defeated the Tyrannosaurus, and it was Dad who saved our entire village from that monster! Daddy, he's a hero to all of us! ”
When the girl Emma said this, her face was full of pride.
She felt like she was so proud of her father.
And Sophie, who was in the rear at this moment, was shocked after the girl's words.
Next, the fairy woman from the academy began to look complicated, and even looked downward, a little dodged, and no longer dared to look at little Emma.
The girl's answer continued.
Little Emma finally said to Liao Qi
"And you, big brother, are doing the same thing as Dad, so as Dad's daughter, I also want to help you! I think my dad would be happy if he found out! ”
"Is that so?"
Just as Liao Qi made an expression of understanding
Among the villagers present, there was another panicked and anxious sound, but it rang out.
"Adult, children are not sensible, you must not be like her!"
I saw a middle-aged woman running out of the crowd in a panic.
She hurried to the girl Emma's side and hugged her tightly.
"Emma, what nonsense are you talking about, don't fool around!"
"Go back with Mom, this is not the place for you to make trouble!"
The woman wanted to take the girl away from Liao Qi, but Emma struggled in her mother's arms, and she kept shouting
"I'm not wrong, Dad is a hero, and I want to be the same as Dad, Mom, let go of me, let go of me!"
It was as if Emma's resistance had made her mom angry.
The middle-aged woman retorted angrily
"Enough! Emma, listen up, your dad is not a hero at all, those are all lies to your mother, how can he defeat that kind of monster, he just goes to die like a fool, he, he"
"He's just a bastard who abandoned his wife and daughter!"
The mother was already crying a little at the end.
The little girl in her arms, Emma's expression also froze because of her mother's words, as if she couldn't believe it and didn't want to believe it.
"You come back with me now, do you hear me?"
Emma's struggle was obviously weakened by this, and when the middle-aged woman saw this, she immediately picked her up and ran back again.
however
"Please wait a minute."
Liao Qi, who had been silently watching the whole process, spoke at this time.
Although he is not treated well by the villagers, this does not mean that Liao Qi has no deterrent power in the hearts of the villagers.
Emma's mother, after hearing Liao Qi's words in her ears, paused, stopped tremblingly, and turned her head.
"Adult?"
"Put Emma down."
Liao Qi didn't say much, just said lightly.
"Adult, she, her"
"Put it down."
Liao Qi repeated calmly again.
thump
The middle-aged woman knelt directly in front of Liao Qi, she burst into tears and cried pleadingly
"My lord, I'm just such a child, just let her go, I beg you!"
"Don't you want to help, I'll come, I'll help you for Emma? She's still young, and I don't want her to be like her father and send that monster to death! ”
The mother burst into tears, and the daughter beside her, Emma, seemed to be completely shocked.
The little girl just stood beside her mother in a daze, looking at the scene in front of her in confusion.
Standing on the side, Lot's face was already unbearable, and even Sophie and the fairy woman in the back pursed their lips, as if they were hesitating and struggling to get involved.
However, only Liao Qi has not changed.
He was not in the slightest affected by the girl's mother's words, on the contrary, he just stretched out two fingers in front of the mother.
"First of all, you're wrong about two things."
"First, I'm just inviting you, not asking you to help, which means that I don't need people who don't have the determination and will, so I'm sorry, I can't accept your offer."
"As for the second point"
Liao Qi said this, and his voice became a little heavier.
He no longer just said to the girl's mother, but to all the villagers present, and consciously or unconsciously, he set his eyes on Carl, the black-haired boy.
Liao Qi finally said in a sarcastic and somewhat serious tone
"I can forgive you for this offense, but next time remember that if you send your men to death, it is only the most incompetent manifestation of the decision-maker."
"If Emma is hurt by helping me, it will be the greatest humiliation for me, so please don't say that next time."
After that, Liao Qi ignored the middle-aged woman who was still kneeling on the ground.
He walked up to Emma's side, bent slightly, and stretched out his right hand to the girl, who was still a little dazed.
"Emma, you are welcome to join us and become a hero like your dad who dares to face monsters."
"Daddy, Daddy, is he a hero?"
The girl was reawakened by Liao Qi's words, and the look in her eyes was reawakened.
Emma looked at Liao Qi cautiously and expectantly, longing for someone to prove the answer in her heart.
But
After seeing the girl like this, Liao Qi shook his head again, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing just now.
On the other side, after not getting Liao Qi's affirmation for a long time, the girl's eyes immediately dimmed again.
But at this moment
Liao Qi's voice finally sounded in Emma's ears.
"Whether your dad is a hero or not doesn't depend on what others say, Emma, you have to judge with your own eyes, and I'm sure you'll find an answer after this experience."
"With your own eyes?"
The girl murmured as if she didn't understand after Liao Qi's words.
But soon after, a smile bloomed again on Emma's face, and she put her small hand on Liao Qi's palm.
"Hmm!"
"I will! Whether it's helping Big Brother defeat the Demon Tyrannosaurus or finding his father's answer! ”
Emma nodded her little head heavily at Liao Qi.
