Chapter Seventy-Six: A Little Boy in the Depths of the Jungle
Yu Luoxi sat back on the circle chair, turned the wrench in his hand, and his thoughts began to fly.
It was about the second year that she and Yuexi had spent their lives with each other.
One day, the two of them went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables and pick wild fruits, passing by a dense forest, just a lot of wild vegetables in the dense forest, the two of them started to do excitedly, but soon found that some wild vegetables had red things on the leaves, touched them with their fingers and sipped them on the palm, and felt that it was very likely to be bloodstains.
The young ones were glad to think that some hares and pheasants might have been injured, and they passed by the bloodstains left here, thinking that maybe they would be able to eat meat and meat in the evening, so they followed the bloodstains all the way and gradually went into the depths of the dense forest.
"Yuexi is coming! Hurry up. Luo Xi suddenly shouted loudly.
Yuexi walked quickly from not far away, and when she saw the scene in front of Luo Xi, she couldn't help but take a deep breath.
A white-looking little boy squatted on the spot with a long saber in his arms, his face expressionless, his round face stained with blood, which could be wiped, although not too much, but still a little, the blood coagulated, and the skin was wrinkled.
Judging from the way he dressed, Luo Xi concluded that this child was not an ordinary child, but it was not difficult to see from his emotions that he should have experienced many things that he couldn't bear at his age.
Luo Xi looked at the pool of blood on the ground, hurriedly helped the little boy up, and after checking it, he was relieved, it seemed that there was someone else on the bloodstains on the ground.
The bloodstains that stretched for several meters along the way, I am afraid that the injured person is also more auspicious, Luo Xi felt that this little boy fled here only after his family was killed, and the injured person was his servant, and he used his life to lure away the enemy.
She felt sorry for this little boy, she had such an experience at a young age, looking at his empty eyes, she felt pity in her heart: "Don't be afraid, it's okay, Yuexi and I will take care of you." ”
She and Yuexi grabbed the little boy's wrists on the left and right, wanting to take him home and help him clean the stains on his face.
Maybe he was too frightened, Luo Xi touched him in a cluster, and he shook her wrist like an electric shock, his face full of vigilance.
Luo Xi was thrown by his sudden movement and staggered a few steps, just stepped on the stone and fell to the ground, she got up and rubbed her buttocks, clapping her hands nonchalantly.
She knew that now he needed more careful care and patient enlightenment, and if he didn't let him touch it, she didn't force it, but Yuexi on the side said indignantly that he didn't know good people's hearts.
Maybe it was because Luo Xi's voice was too gentle, which touched him, and he finally took a step forward and followed behind them.
As soon as they stopped, he stopped, and they kept walking, and he kept his footsteps, but always kept his distance, refusing to get too close to them.
When he returned home, Yuexi boiled a large pot of water, Luo Xi put it in a wooden basin, added some cold water, and waited until the temperature was suitable, and then soaked it in water with a handkerchief with some hairy edges to help him scrub the dirt on his face.
After cleaning, the two stared at the little boy in front of them, thinking that he was really chubby, very cute, although his eyebrows and eyes had not yet grown, they could clearly see that he must be a handsome boy in the future.
From beginning to end, the little boy never said a word, and Luo Xi was not in a hurry, handing him the sweet potatoes left over from yesterday, he took them and hesitated for a moment, then devoured them.
Luo Xi said softly: "Eat slowly, don't choke!" He poured a bowl of water and handed it to him.
Unintentionally, he was afraid that the end of the saber he had dragged back was full of mud, so he also found a rag and tried to help him wipe it clean.
The sword, the scabbard was inlaid with a large ruby, she knew at a glance that it was of great value, such a treasure was always kept by his side, it must have been an object left by his parents, and she did not want something with special meaning to be dirty.
She had just finished it, and before the rag in her hand could touch the sword, the little boy angrily pushed it away.
She subconsciously leaned back, but her palm was cut by the dry wood behind her.
Yuexi on the side couldn't help but get angry: "I said that you kid don't know what to do, if we hadn't kindly brought you back, you would have been eaten by hungry wolves and tigers in the mountains and forests at night, and now you are still so kind to take revenge, who do you think is rare with your broken sword!" When you're full, get out of here, don't think about staying at our house. ”
She helped Luo Xi up, looked at the wound on Luo Xi's palm full of distress, glared at the little boy with sweet potato skin on his face with resentment, and left the firewood room angrily.
After returning to the room, Luo Xi comforted him softly, saying that he was still a child, and he must have suffered a big blow to be like this, and now that he is helpless, it will be difficult for him to survive if he runs out.
Yuexi couldn't help complaining: "As soon as I look at his dress, I know that he is the young master of a rich and noble family, what can you do if you leave him, we are about to lose food and clothing, where do we still have the energy to take care of an ancestor." ”
Yuexi gently blew into her palms and wrapped her palms in a clean cloth.
The breath was blowing on his hands, soft, itchy, Luo Xi couldn't help but chuckle: "You and I are both people with a hard life, don't embarrass a child who may be more miserable than us, if he wants to stay, we just have one more to rely on, leave him at home to pick up some firewood or something, it's okay, if he doesn't want to stay, then we don't have to force it, so it's okay." ”
Yuexi was still sullen, but she reluctantly nodded in agreement.
In the middle of the night, Luo Xi couldn't rest assured that the little boy in the firewood room took the bed and quilt and tiptoed out of the door.
The firewood room was gloomy, she held the candle in her hand high, so that she could vaguely see a small scene, turned around a little, found that it was empty, there was still some regret in her heart, and she was also a little worried about how he lived at a young age, and was just about to turn around and go back to the room, a bright light shook her eyes.
She shone the candlelight along the light, and the corners of her mouth curled.
It turned out to be the jewel on his sword, which shone in the candlelight.
She gently covered the quilt in her hand over the little man curled up next to the stove.
Seeing him curled up in a ball, the saber deforming his face, I wanted to put the saber aside, so that he could sleep peacefully.
She tried to move as gently as she could, and took the saber out of his arms little by little, but he hugged it extremely tightly, and it was extremely difficult to take it out.
Suddenly, she saw a flash of cold light, and before she could react, she felt the smell of blood spread.
