Chapter 17: The Broken Village
Following the light, Xing Yi came to the entrance of a cave, looking at the scene in the cave, Xing Yi did not have the slightest joy in his heart, because it was filled with a raging black flame,
The flickering hyacinth seemed to be demonstrating against Xingyi. I feel uncomfortable from afar. After a week of patrolling, there is no other way out,
Knowing that it was a fire pit, he had to drill into it, and it stands to reason that after understanding the reason, Xing Yi should rush into it without hesitation,
However, he hesitated, feared, and since he was a child, Xing Yi had an instinctive fear of extremely hot and cold things. And the temperature of this fire reached the point where he was afraid.
After standing in place for a long time, Xing Yi finally walked inside. But before he had taken a few steps, he retreated with a hideous face and a painful face.
This flame is not an ordinary flame, it burns the soul rather than the body. You know, the same wound, the pain of the soul is more than ten times stronger than the physical body.
Just a moment ago, Xing Yi almost fainted. Moreover, the gravity inside the cave is a hundred times that of the outside world, and after entering, it is as if you are resisting a small mountain.
Xing Yi stood at the entrance of the cave and stared inside for a long time, and when he looked closely, he would find that Xing Yi's body was trembling slightly. I don't know how long it took to stand, Xing Yi finally walked inside step by step, and his demeanor looked so resolute, with a little taste of heroic death.
Also, whoever has tried the pain of having that soul burned once will never think about it again. Besides, I've been afraid of these things since I was a child. Before he could touch the flames, Xing Yi's brows furrowed.
"Ahh The blazing flame, Xing Yi struggled in pain, rolling, but he did not give up.
I don't know how long later, a thin figure walked out of the other end of the cave. In that way, it feels like the wind will fall,
But his eyes were so bright that even the light of the fire could not hide the light from it. What flows in it is perseverance and perseverance.
A few days later, Xing Yi appeared in a ruined village, ruined and bone-strewn like hell. What Xing Yi feels most strongly now is not how desolate this place is, and how hungry he is.
That hunger has reached the point of no return. He walked around the village, but he didn't find anything to eat, not even a single fresh grass.
The hunger pangs gripped him. He felt like a hungry ghost now. Dare to eat anything.
Walking to a corner, Xing Yi suddenly saw a wisp of green smoke rising. He grabbed a life-saving straw like a drowning man, and ran there as fast as he could.
When he passed through the half-fallen mud wall, and stepped over the doorless door, he saw a man and a woman, two children of four or five years old, burning things in the open courtyard wall.
On the fire, a tattered tin can contained half a can of water, and a few pieces of bark and some leaves were tumbling in the boiling water.
When the two children saw the sudden intruder, they were so frightened that they went straight to the corner of the wall, and Xing Yi was afraid to frighten them, so he stood far away from them and shouted, "Don't be afraid, I have no intention of hurting you."
The two children didn't seem to hear Xing Yi's words, so they just hid in the corner and trembled, Xing Yi slowly walked over and gently hugged their trembling little bodies, "Brother won't hurt you."
Maybe it was because they saw that Xing Yi was also a spirit person, or maybe they knew that it was useless to struggle, they let Xing Yi hug him, but the timid eyes revealed the fear and uneasiness in their hearts.
Xing Yi carried them to the firewood, which was burning. Look at a few rags on their bodies, and a pair of shoes on their feet that show the tips of ten toes. Fluffy and filthy hair, black body.
The dirty and pitiful appearance made Xing Yi unconsciously feel pity in his heart. He instinctively reached for the flute and wanted to take out a few pieces of clothing from it, but the moment his hand touched the flute, he remembered that the piccolo space could not be opened.
After a pause, Xing Yi asked kindly, "Little friend, can you tell my brother what happened in your village?" The two children just kept their heads down and stared at the exposed toes with their dark, timid eyes.
Xing Yi said in a more cordial and gentle tone, "Brother is not evil, don't be afraid." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and wanted to touch the little boy for the first time to express the kindness in his heart. The little boy looked away timidly.
The things on the fire popped non-stop, and seeing that the water in the pot was about to boil dry, Xing Yi carefully took the pot off the fire, and then picked up the two broken bowls next to it. And put in a bowl that is as black as sewage,
Holding it, Xing Yi's hands trembled unconsciously, and then his nose was sore and his heart ached, these things smelled uncomfortable, and the ugly thing was that the pigs were not fed, how could the two children swallow it.
Xing Yi would never have thought that in two days he would feast on this kind of thing that pigs would not eat.
Xing Yi looked at their thin bodies, without a trace of fleshy faces. They are like frightened rabbits, in a panic all the time, without the joy that children should have. What they went through and how much they suffered, no one knows.
Xing Yi trembled and held the bowl, he didn't know what to do for a while, giving them these things, Xing Yi couldn't bear it, however, he didn't give them any better,
At this time, there was a gurgling sound from the stomachs of the two children, and Xing Yi trembled and put the two bowls in front of them, "Eat...... , eat it". After saying that, he felt his eyes moisten.
He quickly stopped his emotions, "You guys eat first, I'll go see if I can find something else to eat."
After saying that, he walked away quickly. Because, too, his stomach growled. After a long circle, Xing Yi still didn't find anything to eat,
Not to mention that it can walk on four legs, not even a single living tree or fresh grass has been seen. There were charred rocks and dirt everywhere, and there was no breath of life at all.
At this time, Xing Yi was so hungry that he had begun to hallucinate, and he was fighting his spirit to drive these false things.
It was already dark when he returned to the village, and Xing Yi walked to the courtyard during the day with his memory, and at this time there was a dead silence inside, and the two children were nowhere to be found.
Xing Yi knew that they were afraid of themselves, so Xing Yi reluctantly walked to the charred firewood and built a fire. Sweep the ground at will, lie on the ground and sleep,
Xing Yi thought in his heart, "It's okay to leave, you can't even solve your own livelihood, and letting them stay by your side will only make you more worried",
Moreover, he has a deeper level of worry, and there has always been an evil thought flashing in his heart, although it was suppressed by the torture as soon as it came out.
But Xing Yi was afraid that he would not be able to help but do something unreasonable, so he did not and did not dare to look for the two children.
