The child's cloudy eyes looked at Hao Nan: "Adult, save my younger brothers and sisters!"

"They haven't eaten for days and are dying of starvation."

Hao Nan asked questioningly: "Are you so sure that I will definitely save your brothers and sisters?" ”

"If I had just let the flame horse step on you, you would have died, too."

The child knelt anxiously: "I've been here for almost a year, except for the caravans that pass by, they will give some leftovers to the homeless." ”

"You're the first person I've ever met who gave the best food to the homeless."

Hao Nan was surprised and continued to ask: "You just kept chasing me on the path before you rushed out?" ”

The child hurriedly nodded and replied eagerly: "Please, sir, save my younger brothers and sisters!" Let me..... You can do anything. ”

Hao Nan lowered his head and touched his chin and thought to himself: "If Guoguo is here, what will he do?" ”

"Ten days ago, in front of the comatose Guoguo, I said that I would take the initiative to help people in difficulty in the future, and I cashed it out so quickly?"

"Looks like you can't talk too much about anything in the future, okay! Have a clear conscience. ”

Then he looked up at the child's pleading eyes:

"I don't need you to do anything, wait until I bury the flame horse and you go and see."

The child hurriedly grabbed Hao Nan and explained: "My lord, this flame horse is good food, if you bury it in the ground for a while, it will be eaten by the underground carnivorous worms." ”

Hao Nan showed an uncomfortable expression: "That's it! Hey, Brother Ma, thank you for driving me for the past few days. ”

"I wanted to bury you, but the carnivorous worm ......, so you can do it to the end."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took the front hooves of the flame horse with both hands and looked at the child: "You lead the way in front." ”

The child excitedly took Hao Nan into the path and went to the place where he lived.

On the way, Hao Nan was secretly surprised, and after lighting up the Divine Tree, his own strength doubled.

It is estimated that the bow used to be unable to withstand the force of a full bow at all.

Pulling up hundreds of pounds of flame horses, I didn't feel tired all the way until now.

Soon the two of them arrived at their destination, and they saw a rag dangling between two large trees.

The fence on both sides of the big tree is made of dense and thin branches, and then a young and immature voice sounds: "Big sister......"

Hao Nan looked at the many children who pushed out of the fence, and then looked at the children around him, and was stunned for a while before he spoke:

"You're a girl?"

"You look like you're a 10-year-old and you're the eldest sister, how young do your younger brothers and sisters have to be!"

The child lowered his head shyly: "Adult, I'm a girl, I'm 14 years old this year." ”

"They were all orphans I met on the road, the youngest was 7 years old and the oldest was 12 years old."

Hao Nan asked questioningly: "Are you 14 years old?" Then what do you usually eat, you won't eat ......! ”

The little girl hurriedly explained: "We don't eat human flesh, those who eat human flesh are thugs among the homeless people." ”

"When there is no food, they will grab women and children and eat it."

"We usually eat the roots of flowers and plants, wild fruits, and when the caravan passes by, we go together to beg for alms, and they will give alms to some extent."

"But the caravan has not passed through here for a while, and I heard that the supply depot behind it was destroyed."

Hao Nan looked at the many children with sad eyes, and said sadly: "You are much better than me." ”

"We're going to eat horse meat tonight, and you let them get ready."

When the children heard that they had eaten horse meat at night, they all began to howl and weep.

Hao Nan asked the little girl embarrassedly: "Why are they crying again?" ”

"My lord, they are so happy."

Hao Nan looked at most of the bare-chested children and took down the two bags that hung on the flame horse.

He took out the clothes that he had taken from the snake and handed them to the little girl:

"Let's see if you can change it for them."

The little girl took the clothes and hugged them excitedly: "Adult, thank you so much, I can change it to a small one." ”

Hao Nan showed a satisfied smile: "That's good, and you are not allowed to call me an adult in the future, call me Hao Nan, I don't know what your name is."

The little girl suddenly sobbed: "Adult......, no, Hao ...... Nan, my name is Shu Xi. ”

"My parents didn't tell me before they died."

"I am their dawn and hope, and I will definitely live well and persist until the advent of the prosperous era, so I am named Shuxi."

Hao Nan faintly felt heartache, and involuntarily hugged Shu Xi: "Don't cry, let's make dinner together." ”

Shu Xi lowered his head and wiped away his tears: "En." ”

The night soon descended and enveloped the land, and this time was the moment when Shu Xi and they were most worried and scared.

But tonight is extra reassuring and warm for them.

Except for Shu Xi, the rest of the eighteen children were lying next to the bonfire with their bellies puffed out, sleeping with satisfied expressions on their faces. ”

Hao Nan looked at the seventeen children lying on the ground, and sighed to himself: "Half a flame horse! ”

"I'm afraid they'll overeat and spoil their bellies, but now it seems that worrying is unnecessary."

Shu Xi sat next to him with a bone knife, cut pieces of clothing into pieces of cloth, and then used bone needles to sew pieces of cloth into small sets of clothes.

Hao Nan was afraid of disturbing Shu Xi, who was focused, so he walked over lightly and asked in a low voice:

"You eat very little! Didn't eat enough! ”

"If you go on like this, it will affect your physical development, don't worry, there is still a lot of meat."

Shu Xi got up in surprise: "I'm sorry, Hao Nan, I didn't know you came to me." ”

"I'm full, and I'll let them save some of the rest of the meat, and try to get through the coming winter."

As he spoke, tears flowed uncontrollably.

"What's wrong with you?"

"I think of my brothers and sisters who starved to death, there were originally more than 30 of us, and there were only eighteen left all the way here."

"If we hadn't met you, we wouldn't have been able to hold out this winter."

Hao Nan stroked Shu Xi's head: "Don't you want to go somewhere?" You can't stay here forever. ”

Shu Xi looked up into the distance: "In the past few years, all the homeless people have wanted to go to Mingyi City. ”

"I heard from the caravans who passed by that they took in the homeless people for free, and provided them with work as much as they could, a place to sleep, and even enough to eat."

Hao Nan asked suspiciously: "Then why don't you and the displaced people along the road go to Mingyi City?" ”

Shu Xi looked at his younger brothers and sisters lying by the fire and explained, "It's too far, I heard that there are more than ten frontier cities so far away. ”

"Unless there is a caravan passing through here that happens to be heading to Mingyi City and is willing to take us with them, then there is any hope of making it to Mingyi City alive."

Hao Nan thought about the ten frontier cities?

It takes 100 kilometers to set off from Shengping Village, and I have walked about 30 kilometers at present.

So from my current position, the distance to Mingyi City is more than 700 kilometers, no wonder they have all given up.

"Why is the caravan willing to take you?"

Shu Xi replied helplessly: "Everyone needs 100 god coins." ”

Hao Nan was shocked, "obediently rumbling hole" is so dark.

According to the calculation of eighteen children, it will take 1800 divine coins, and after pondering for a while, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Do you want to go? Let me know if you want to go, and I can help you get to Mingyi City. ”

It's best to give me an answer before I have no regrets, otherwise it will expire! ”

Shu Xi grabbed Hao Nan's hands excitedly: "Is it true?" ”

Hao Nan nodded tangledly: "Of course it's true, tell me if you want to go?" ”

Shu Xi shook his head regretfully: "I'm not going, I won't abandon my brother and sister." ”

Hao Nan gently knocked Shu Xi's forehead: "Did you hear clearly!" I'm talking about all eighteen of you going to Mingyi City. ”

Shu Xi immediately put down the bone needle, counted his fingers, and said in disbelief: "God! That's 1,800 coins! ”

Hao Nan hid his heartache and laughed: "Isn't it a god coin?" ”

"I have it, and don't I earn god coins just to spend them in important places?"

Shu Xi happily asked, "Are we very important in Hao Nan's mind?" ”

Hao Nan got up and walked out: "Of course, okay, you can rest early!" Just call them all up and go to sleep inside, it's a little cold outside. ”

"I'll go around in case there's any danger, and we'll go find the caravan tomorrow morning."

Shu Xi nodded lightly, looking at the figure that gradually disappeared into the darkness, tears couldn't help but flow out again.
