The night is quiet and the breeze is cool. The swaying of the trees made the atmosphere a little eerie.

A corpse lies quietly in the woods, accompanied by the night, like a horror movie.

To be honest, Tong Xiaofeng was a little scared, he had already restrained the coldness in his eyes, and the timid and cowardly side of his heart also came out.

He tried to convince himself not to be afraid of these things, after all, there may be more than these things to encounter on the road ahead, and there may be more terrifying scenes, and he must learn to grow.

The little girl walked out from behind the tree, her body was still trembling slightly, her steps were slow, and her eyes were so confused.

She didn't know what fate awaited her. Perhaps, as the assassin said, Tong Xiaofeng is his peer, and he plots against her flesh and blood. Or maybe hope really will come to her, and what awaits her will be redemption.

Tong Xiaofeng looked at the little girl and shook her head, a child who is only twelve or thirteen years old, if she is in the new city, she may be a junior high school student, enjoying the days of being cared for by her parents and protected by the law.

But here, being young will only become synonymous with weakness and become the object of deception.

"Don't be afraid, little girl, I won't kill you, don't forget, I still want your help. ”

"Thank you!"

Hearing Tong Xiaofeng say this, the little girl finally put her mind at ease, her eyes also glowed a little, and her small steps became faster.

I don't know whether to be happy or bitterly laughing, this world is so cruel and unreasonable.

"Let's go, find a place to spend the night, I need you to show me the way tomorrow." ”

The little girl didn't say much, she was guessing what Tong Xiaofeng meant by leading the way.

The moonlight was blocked by the tall trees, and the two figures walked in the darkness, their footsteps clearly audible, and the surrounding grass and trees were constantly swaying, as if a beast would jump out at any moment.

"Little girl, do you know why I want to save you?"

Tong Xiaofeng didn't know why he asked this, maybe it was just because the silent atmosphere was too embarrassing, or maybe he wanted to understand the little girl's inner thoughts, in short, he had blurted out this question.

"Didn't you let me lead the way?"

The little girl became nervous again, afraid that Tong Xiaofeng would kill her casually.

"You're too sensitive, I'm not going to kill you. I do want you to lead the way, but in fact I will save you if you don't lead the way for me. ”

"Why?"

The little girl's rhetorical question was like a sharp sword stabbing Tong Xiaofeng's heart, obviously it should be an innocent child, but it has become extremely realistic because of this world.

"Not why, because I want to. ”

As if she didn't understand, the little girl frowned, as if thinking about Tong Xiaofeng's words.

Sighing lightly, Tong Xiaofeng was very helpless and had a headache.

"If you don't understand, forget it, what about you? Why did you come to such a dangerous place, I think you've just started cultivating. ”

"I wanted to find an elixir, so someone brought me here. ”

"Elixir, do you want to increase your strength?"

The little girl shook her head, her eyes glowing with sadness, and her eyes glowed silver as if she was about to cry.

"My sister is injured and can't get out of bed, and I want to find an elixir to cure her. ”

She was very strong, although the tone of her voice changed slightly, but the tears were forced by her to keep from flowing out of the corners of her eyes.

Tong Xiaofeng smiled happily, not gloating, but affirming the little girl.

"Your sister is very good to you. ”

However, this time it was not as expected by Tong Xiaofeng, because the little girl shook her head.

"She is a very selfish guy, she refuses to give me delicious food, she refuses to let me touch those cosmetics, and she scolds me all day long. ”

"Then you're still looking for an elixir for her?"

"I'm left with such a relative as her, my mother was taken away by a bad uncle, and my father went to chase my mother and never came back, and my sister and I were left at home. ”

Tong Xiaofeng regretted asking these questions, after all, in his opinion, this was not a good memory, but in fact, such a family was too common in this ancient city.

Just as he was thinking about it, he remembered something and turned his head to look at the little girl.

"Could it be that the three people who kicked you just now are the ones who brought you here?"

"Well, I saw that their adventure team was hiring, so I went and asked them. ”

Speaking of those three people, the little girl's face was still a little angry, and she obviously still had all the resentment about what had just happened.

"I think they're just going to leave you behind. ”

Tong Xiaofeng smashed his mouth, his eyes were full of disdain, there are such people in the new city, but they were labeled as scum.

"Then they can't be blamed, after all, I'm so weak, anyone would do that. Fortunately, I had a deal with their captain, otherwise I might have been abandoned long ago, and I wouldn't have survived until now. ”

"Deal?"

It's not that Tong Xiaofeng looks down on the little girl, it's just that the little girl is empty-handed, dressed plainly, and can't see any good things to trade.

The little girl squinted and smiled, as if showing off her wisdom, and said something that made Tong Xiaofeng sluggish.

"I took my sister to make a trade and asked them to bring me here to find the elixir, and as soon as I found the elixir, they would go back with me to my sister. ”

“......”

Tong Xiaofeng stopped, a little unsure that what he heard was the truth.

But when the little girl turned around suspiciously, the innocence in her eyes made him particularly heartbroken.

"Why? Do you hate your sister so much?"

"I don't hate it, that's why I did it, because if you don't do it, you can't live, isn't it common sense?"

A twelve or thirteen-year-old child is teaching an eighteen-year-old boy common sense, a common sense that is difficult to understand.

As if it were taken for granted, the little girl didn't realize what she had said wrong, only that Tong Xiaofeng's eyes had become strange, even a little cold, just like the eyes in the face of the assassin before.

The little girl was a little scared, she wasn't sure where she had provoked Tong Xiaofeng, so she could only lower her head and say "I'm sorry" vigorously.

Tong Xiaofeng withdrew the coldness, and his eyes became pathetic. He shook his head lightly to signal that the little girl was okay, but the waves in his heart were so high that it was difficult to calm down.

He took another step, and the little girl could only follow him closely, not daring to say anything. She was a little scared, and even felt that Tong Xiaofeng was a capricious person, and maybe the slightest carelessness would attract Tong Xiaofeng's anger.

The night wind was extremely cold in the dark, but the heart that should have been hot was even colder than the night wind, if he could, Tong Xiaofeng really wanted to use this temperature to freeze the entire ancient city.

Originally, Tong Xiaofeng planned to return to Tiansu, but now he has changed his mind, he wants to understand this ancient city, understand the survival method of the supernatural, and continue to become stronger.

The two figures, one tall and one short, walked very slowly, the tall man kept pressing his steps in order to take care of the short man, and the short man kept speeding up his steps in order to keep up with the tall man. In this way, different frequencies, different steps, and different sounds gradually faded away.
