Volume 2 The Stone Man of the Western Regions The Stone Man of the Western Regions Chapter 28: Xiao Qian

The moon above me was a little pale and fading. To the west of the zenith, there is a star that shines brightly.

Seeing this star is a sign that dawn is approaching, and its name is the morning star.

From the tent next to Sister Ning, there were bursts of thunderous snoring, which I couldn't accept before, but now it came to my ears and made me feel inexplicably safe.

"You... You're hungry..."

The glasses girl was not very loud, and I didn't hear it very clearly at first, but when I saw her hand over a bag of steamed dumplings, I understood what she meant.

When I saw the dumplings, saliva immediately secreted from my mouth, and my stomach began to gurgle uncontrollably.

After thanking me, I couldn't wait to take the steamed dumplings handed over by the girl with glasses and ate them like a hungry tiger.

At this moment, I actually remembered the scene of the fat man eating a large plate of chicken, and I yearned for a large plate of chicken.

"Slow... Eat slowly... And there's more. ”

When the girl with glasses saw me eating, she took out another bag from the backpack next to me and put it in front of my eyes, covering her mouth and smiling, her smile matched her thin figure, which looked a little cute.

"I... My name is Xiao Qian..."

She put the steamed bun in front of me and introduced me to her name.

In the communication with her, I learned about her background.

In some remote areas of China, there are some mysterious tribes who do not belong to any of the fifty-six ethnic groups that we know, but are separate unknown ancient tribes.

These tribes have continued mysterious rituals or sacrificial methods from ancient times to the present, and they are ignorant and backward.

Xiaoqian belongs to a group called the "Fallen Underworld".

At first, when I first heard her call her name, my heart began to get a little restless. The name of the ethnic group is named after the "underworld", which reminds the listener of the netherworld.

As it suggests, her tribe has passed down some unacceptable customs from ancient times to the present day.

For example, all the children of the tribe, when they reached the age of eight years and eight months, were placed in a coffin in a tomb and lived with the owner of the coffin for eight days, during which time they were provided with enough food. For example, when a child in a tribe reaches the age of adulthood, he must cut off a piece of his own flesh with his own hands under the supervision of his elders and eat it raw.

And Xiao Qian was tied to the coffin of an extremely strange tomb by the elders of the family when she was eight years and eight months old, and an accident occurred!

Such treacherous customs are difficult for an eight-year-old child to accept, even for an adult. I thought I could be brave enough, but think about it, in a dark tomb, surrounded by darkness and darkness. An open coffin, inside the coffin is a corpse of unknown age, and you, trapped next to this corpse, spend eight days with it. That kind of scene will be weird when you think about it.

Since children of that age were relatively small, his people would usually cut holes in the lid of the coffin for enough children to breathe, then put enough food inside the coffin, and finally close the lid of the coffin and seal it on the outside! And it will also be reinforced by a few percent, so that the children inside do not escape.

I can imagine what a desperate heart it was! I think that for an eight-year-old girl like Xiaoqian, she is naturally so frightened that she doesn't even have the courage to cry.

But the result was a little different from what I thought.

According to Xiaoqian's description, the body that can be in the same coffin as her is a corpse that is not completely decomposed, on the contrary, the face is still somewhat clear.

As she described the corpse's face, I began to admire her a little. If it had been me, I would have had this experience when I was eight years old, and I wouldn't have dared to look at the corpse anyway.

When she recounted the experience, there was no expression of rejection or fear on her face, but rather a flat expression.

I don't know what kind of experience made her so relieved to describe her horrible experience.

I didn't interrupt her speech, although her language was not very fluent, and there was a habit of stuttering.

However, with my patient listening, Xiaoqian told a creepy story.

When she was placed next to the corpse and the coffin lid was sealed again, her world became dark!

The coldness of the corpse made her body shiver, and because the corpse had been in the coffin for an unknown number of years, a lot of bugs had been born.

Although, before putting her in the coffin, according to the traditions of their tribe, Xiao Qian's body was smeared with special medicine. This medicine can avoid the bite of the bugs in these corpses, but this medicine can only prevent the bugs from biting her body, but it cannot calm the bugs.

For a while, in addition to the cold corpses around her body, there would be countless insects crawling around her body!

Hearing this, my goosebumps all over my body rose, and it was hard to imagine that this girl in front of me, who was not much older than me, would experience such inhuman treatment in her childhood!

What struck me even more incredulous was her final narrative.

She went on to narrate, skipping the eight days of being with corpses. Rather, it begins after the eighth day, when the lid of the coffin is opened.

When the eighth day passed, after Xiao Qian's clan lifted the lid that sealed the coffin, they saw a scene that shocked them!

After pushing open the lid of the coffin, Xiao Qian, who was still eight years old inside, was gnawing on the corpse with a clear face!

Seeing that someone covered the coffin, the flesh of the corpse in Xiaoqian's mouth had not been completely swallowed! She was still chewing hard, and she was still smiling horribly at the clansman who opened the coffin lid for her!

This situation was not seen by Xiaoqian herself, but after being dictated to her by others in the future, the person who described this scene for her was a person I am very familiar with, his name is Su Di, and he is my second uncle!

At that time, the second uncle happened to be in that ancient tomb, and he hid in the dark to see all of Xiao Qian's actions!

And when their clansmen were about to kill Xiao Qian, the second uncle took action in time to save Xiao Qian!

As for how to save it, Xiaoqian didn't tell me in too much detail.

All she remembered was the gentle eyes of a middle-aged man she saw when she woke up. She had never seen such a tender look before.

Even her biological parents never had such soft eyes.

She couldn't remember what happened inside the coffin after the lid was opened!

However, from then on, Xiaoqian found that she suddenly had divine powers. And as she grows older, her divine power also grows.

This divine power has grown for a total of eight years with her age!

That is, after she reached the age of sixteen, all her growth genes stopped! But the divine power has been preserved intact!

Xiaoqian, this name was given to her by her second uncle. Since the second uncle rescued her, she has never returned to the strange tribe where she has lived for eight years.

Over the years of living by her second uncle's side, she has been taken care of by Sister Ning. This is also the reason why she only listens to Sister Ning's words.

As for me, it's because my eyes and the aura I exude are very similar to the second uncle, which is why she listens to my command except for Sister Ning!

When I listened carefully to Xiaoqian's account of her treacherous childhood experience, Yiyi walked out of the tent not far from me.

With this hibernation, Yiyi's complexion is much better than in the cave passage, as long as her appearance recovers some blood, the beautiful suffocating facial features will make people lose their minds.

Although I didn't hear the conversation between me and Xiaoqian before, Yiyi didn't interrupt Xiaoqian's narration recklessly, but quietly listened to Xiaoqian talk about her life experience.

Xiao Qian's voice was not very loud, Sister Ning was still guarding the fat man's tent in the distance, and Sister Ning did not show impatience for the fat man's snoring, as if she had something on her mind, just quietly looking into the distance.

There is also a tent that also snorts, and the tent is very close to the fat man's tent, and the snoring sound seems to echo the fat man's snoring, singing and harmonizing!

I know it's the scorpion's purring!

And at the innermost end of all the tents, there was also a tent, and around him stood a person from Sister Ning's team in four directions, armed with a submachine gun guarding the surroundings. As if protecting important witnesses, protecting the people in the tent!

It should be the only survivor of the expedition team of the "Europa" company that was rescued from the fat man space!

"Su Mo, are your injuries healed?"

After Xiaoqian finished recounting her experience, Yiyi comforted her for a while, and then turned her head and said to me with concern.

I nodded my head and raised my arms high, trying to show off my recovery. But at this moment, there was an unbearable pain in my buttocks, and I instantly put my hand down and hurriedly covered my buttocks.

That wound has something to do with Yiyi...

"You move slowly, I'll look at the wound..."

"You.. What a pain you have..."

As I let out a painful moan, I saw Yiyi and Xiaoqian show nervous expressions at the same time, and speak together.

For a moment, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

My hands were on my buttocks, and I grinned in pain.

Seeing this, Xiao Qian quickly took out a small medicine box from her backpack, which contained various medicines.

Ignoring my objections, he pulled my pants open and went to treat my wounds.

After seeing Xiaoqian take out the medicine box, Yiyi gently reached out to support me, so that Xiaoqian could better treat my wounds.

When Xiao Qian opened my pants, the image of Yi Yi treating my injuries in that enclosed space flashed in my mind.

I didn't expect Xiaoqian to have the same personality as Yiyi.

Moreover, two girls with the same temperament, the cooperation at the moment is extremely tacit!
