Chapter 178
Xiaolong's gaze was still very confused, as if the action of opening his eyes would make it very tired, making Shen Xinghe look like a knife, but the little guy who was obviously seriously injured did not stay on the ground honestly, but struggled and seemed to want to stand up.
Shen Xinghe has not yet reached the level where she can easily manipulate her spiritual power while talking, and she doesn't really want to speak, although she has already reprimanded that little dinosaur in her heart thousands of times, what are you still tossing about when you are like this!
After trying a few times, Xiaolong, who was still unable to do anything, finally gave up and only moved his head, and when he saw Shen Xinghe, his eyes seemed to suddenly have a glow, and one front paw trembled lightly, as if he wanted to grab her.
Shen Xinghe suddenly had a very strange feeling in her heart, she felt that her thoughts should be true, could it be that Xiaolong was planning to ...... Ask her for help?
Naturally, there is no answer to this question for the time being, Shen Xinghe is also continuing to treat Xiaolong's injuries, and he didn't bother to ask, and it didn't take long for an animal to appear in her line of sight and fly towards him quickly, Shen Xinghe didn't look at it until it was already close, this is Sean?
But it was not the same as usual, the chicken was flapping its wings eagerly, and its mouth was clucking, as if it was very anxious about something.
Shen Xinghe couldn't help frowning, why did this Sean look like something big had happened? But it wasn't hurt, it just magically wanted to find someone to help it just like the little dragon.
It was really impossible, so Shen Xinghe had to temporarily collect a little spiritual power, so that she could continue to heal her injuries while saying to Sean, "What's the matter? ”
Sean's wings moved more violently and screamed more urgently, and while signaling to Shen Xinghe with his two paws, he turned around and made a gesture of flying away.
"You want me to come with you?" Shen Xinghe asked.
The chicken nodded eagerly.
"But ......" Shen Xinghe glanced at the little dinosaur on the ground, which was still very weak even though it had woken up, and had to agree to accept the ball of light and pick it up to keep up with Sean, there was always a bad premonition in his heart, He Ningzhou's injury and Sean's urgency to come to her, the two should be somehow related.
The rainy forest air is very good, the leaves seem to have been washed and become more tender, there is a fresh and pleasant aroma, in fact, Shen Xinghe originally planned to ask Sean what he thinks about the rain when he comes to Baimidi to serve dinner today, because this should be a rare sight for it, of course, you can also ask if this will have any effect on the rice, but now Shen Xinghe no longer has the mood to enjoy the scenery, but every step in the forest will become heavier and heavier, The slightly humid air made her a little breathless.
He Ningzhou still stayed quietly in her arms, Xiaolong's injuries had not healed, and his spirit seemed to be sluggish, but it was holding on to stay awake, and kept his eyes open that were obviously out of sight.
Shen Xinghe's heart was so painful that he couldn't speak, but even now he was still in a state of ignorance of everything, and the more she moved towards the facts at this moment, the more nervous she felt, like the kind of fear that people always swell up before the truth was revealed.
However, she had no room to back down, and it wasn't long before she followed Sean to its territory, only to see her frozen once again.
The corpses of a total of seven chickens were scattered on the ground, the ground was covered with bright red blood and messy feathers, and the dazzling color also made Shen Xinghe's eyes turn into a similar color in an instant, and her heart seemed to be pinched by a hand, and she almost burst into tears in pain.
This is the first time she has come to this world, and it is also the first time in his life that he has seen such a scene, the real blood and killing are happening right in front of his eyes, in this place where she once thought it was a fairy tale and heaven, there is such a hell on earth, she will not forget the first time she came to this time The touch of her heart, the breeze and green trees, the grass is still clinging, and there are a few chickens resting or walking leisurely under the wooden house, so beautiful that she thinks she is still in a dream.
"This, who did it?" Shen Xinghe involuntarily took two steps forward, and heard his own voice say, "Who did this?!" ”
She couldn't imagine anyone who would make a move on these defenseless animals, she had been to this place many times, so she knew very well that out of all the chickens living here, only Sean was intelligent, and the others were very ordinary, ordinary animals, living here without a fight, how could anyone want to harm them?
A figure suddenly appeared in her mind, it was the little dragon lying at the door of the house covered in injuries, terrible thoughts hit her heart, she held the little dragon's waist with both hands and put it in front of her, stared at it and asked word by word: "You say, did you kill them?" ”
"......" Xiaolong is still full of wounds, still looking haggard because of the pain, it even needs Shen Xinghe's support to maintain such an upright state, its gaze is still dim but stubbornly refuses to close its eyes, but after hearing Shen Xinghe's words just now, Xiaolong's eyes gradually became clear, and he looked at it with the same firmness, and his eyes gradually showed a little coldness.
That look contained too much emotion, mixed together like despair wrapped in indifference, but Shen Xinghe didn't care about anything else at this time, because he didn't hear Xiaolong's answer, he shook its body vigorously twice, and repeated sharply: "You say, it's not you!" ”
Shen Xinghe couldn't tell why he suspected Xiaolong, but the chicken must have died last night or this morning, and Xiaolong left home last night and fell injured at the door of the house this morning, not to mention that she has been in the forest for so long, the only thing she has ever seen that will conflict with animals is the little dragon in front of her, although she doesn't know why Xiaolong killed these animals cruelly, but if she has to find a murderer to come out, there is nothing else to think about but it.
The little dragon, who was still very energetic to confront her, slowly closed its eyes at this time, and refused to close it for so long, but this time it seemed to have finally given up, its head tilted slightly, and all consciousness disappeared, and its state at this time was similar to those dead animals on the ground, without any trace of life.
"You ......" Shen Xinghe's heart suddenly had a panic, which had never been seen before, even if she saw these lives disappear in front of her eyes, she was only angry and did not panic, Xiaolong at this time would make her feel that it would completely disappear from her life.
Before she could make any moves, Sean flew up to her and shook her head vigorously, pointing at the little dragon in her arms, big tears falling down.
"Do you mean that?" Shen Xinghe asked subconsciously.
Sean nodded again.
Shen Xinghe seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief, but then there was overwhelming guilt and distress, she looked at the little animal that had become lifeless again, and once again hugged it tightly in her arms.
Heningzhou, Heningzhou, I'm sorry......
She murmured to herself, feeling guilty almost making her unable to stand.
The sun is scattered into the forest, the fresh breeze, the dappled shadows of the trees, the blue sky after the heavy rain, but what is happening in front of you is so heavy.
Shen Xinghe exhaled lightly, looked at the corpses and said to Sean, "Let's bury them first." ”
Although it won't be long before these corpses will be sucked into the ground, and there will be no trace of them, there should be such a ritual for them to truly enter the earth, even if it is just a small dirt bag, it is still proof that they have been to this world.
Sean nodded, tears streaming down her face again.
Shen Xinghe temporarily put Xiaolong in the chicken coop, in fact, the layout here is particularly delicate and meticulous, several times stronger than their house, she gently placed Xiaolong on the bed, and said in her heart: You sleep well here, when I finish dealing with these things, I will definitely cure you, and then make amends to you.
The graveyard she chose for the chickens was not far behind the coop, close to the forest, next to the forest where they were born, and where they could see their homes and companions, they would love it.
Shen Xinghe took out the dagger he had been carrying with him and dug a hole in the ground, and the other chickens who had survived for some reason all gathered around and looked at her quietly.
With the help of this dagger, the work of digging a pit was also very easy, and soon she dug a deep pit and carefully put the carcass of the chicken into it, there was no such thing as a coffin here, and it didn't know what the animals would do with the corpses of their companions, but for Shen Xinghe, there was only so much to do.
Layer by layer of soil fell on the chicken's body, the corpse was buried and could no longer be seen, Shen Xinghe stood in front of the newly made grave and bowed solemnly three times, these dead animals have never known her in life, she does not have a strong desire for revenge, but she likes this world, she likes the shock that these animals bring her when she comes to this house, and she hopes that they can rest in peace after death.
"Do you know who killed them?" After the funeral, Shen Xinghe stood in front of the chicken coop with Xiaolong in his arms and asked Sean.
Sean nodded, and wrote two words on the ground like he told Shen Xinghe's name that time: Demon Clan.
"Demons?" Shen Xinghe suddenly frowned, "Is there still this kind of creature in this world?" ”
Sean continued to nod.
"They came last night?"
Nod.
Shen Xinghe thought for a while, stroked the little dragon's head with one hand, and asked, "Then do you know why this dinosaur was injured?" ”
Sean wrote on the ground again: Protect us.
"Protect ......" Shen Xinghe was really surprised this time, she could guess from Sean's performance before that He Ningzhou should have something to do with the chickens being attacked, but she didn't expect it to be "protection", could it be that Xiaolong came here after leaving home last night, and was injured in order to protect these chickens? But how did He Ningzhou know that the chickens would be in danger and would come out at such a coincidental time?
Sean had no way to answer these questions, and he had to wait until He Ningzhou woke up.
Thinking like this, Shen Xinghe said goodbye to Sean and went home with Xiaolong in his arms.
Walking alone in the silent forest, Shen Xinghe found that he had never stopped being surprised since the beginning of the morning, there were demons in this world full of animals, and they suddenly came to attack animals and killed so many, Shen Xinghe didn't know
Shen Xinghe can naturally understand this, it must be because he hurt it because of his unscrupulous words at that time, it was angry with itself and unwilling to deal with itself. But Xiaolong must not know, in fact, he suspected that it was the murderer so quickly, and there were also factors to vent anger and dissatisfaction, on the one hand, he didn't know anything, he didn't know the cause and process of the incident, but he was pulled over at the end to see such a tragic result, and secondly, he also complained a little about why Xiaolong didn't tell her, why didn't he come to her together, if he was present at the time, even if the treatment technique was weak, he should be able to save a life or two.
