Chapter 7: Sresta's Struggle

The bakery man came over with a bucket of water and poured it directly on Sleta.

The water soaked her clothes, and Sreta looked up at the man.

The man snorted, and suddenly he found something, squatted down with interest, and stretched out his hand to pinch Sresta's chin: "I didn't expect you to have a good face, I guess I might be able to sell it for a good price if I take you to the slave market." ”

At the sight of the slave market, Sleta's small body trembled again, but this time she did not open her mouth to beg for mercy.

"Damn, no one comes to buy bread today. The man glanced outside, and found that he hadn't opened all day, and his resentment was a little big, he looked down at Sleta, who had not yet fully bloomed, and couldn't help but get up with an evil heart, and said with a lewd smile: "I'm going to sell you anyway, why don't you make me happy first!"

As he spoke, the man's hand stretched out towards Sresta, but at this time, Sreta took the initiative to stretch out her immature hand and grabbed the man's palm.

The man thought that Sleta was going to resist, and was about to slap her with a backhand to educate her, but found that it was not.

The once numb eyes revealed a tenderness that did not belong to her age

...

After Xu Mu finished purchasing outside, he had found a lot of money from the corpse of the boss of the black shop, and now he has a lot of coins on him, since he has money, he naturally has to spend it well, and bought all the equipment he wanted to buy and use before.

Even Xu Mu bought a sturdy horse in the stable, which is his biggest expense today, and it is also the most worthwhile, it can't be said that he and Ai Lu walked to the border of the kingdom with their feet.

Xu Mu also deliberately spent money to make a pair of double saddles, although it also cost a lot of money, at least it was cheaper than buying one more horse, as for whether Ai Lu was willing to ride a horse with him, it was not within his consideration, if she didn't want to, then let her walk.

Xu Mu returned to the place where Sreta had an accident before, and found that the crowd in front of him had surrounded again, and there was a commotion inside.

"Wow, this girl actually bit off the bakery man's finger...!"

"It's really a little scary, I'm afraid it's not that I'm hungry and faint, and I gnaw a man's finger like bread. ”

"This time, Sleta is afraid that she will not be able to dodge. ”

...

Xu Mu frowned and hurriedly squeezed into the crowd, and then he found that the man who had kicked the girl before had his right hand covered with blood at this time, and when he looked closely, he even found that a finger had been broken.

At this time, the man was holding a stick with a thick arm in his left hand, and hit Sresta who fell to the ground, and every time he swung the stick, he could hear the sound of the wind.

Sreta fell to the ground and did not cry when she was next to the stick, as if she were dead.

"It's... Sreta is afraid that she will be beaten to death!"

"It's cruel..."

The noisy sound of the crowd squeezed into Xu Mu's ears, he felt uncomfortable, lowered his hood and wanted to turn around and leave, as if he hadn't seen it.

However, someone said a word, which was echoed in Xu Mu's mind.

"Sleta, this child, what is he struggling with, even if he is sold into the slave market, he can be regarded as having a home, it is better than starving to death outside..."

The man felt that he had been deceived, he felt the tenderness brought by the young Sleta at that time, and he even had the idea of staying to raise her, but he didn't expect...!He actually bit off a finger for her, if he hadn't endured the pain and chased it out, I'm afraid he wouldn't have really let this bitch run away!

The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, the more angry I became, the more painful the broken fingers of my right hand became, and the more ferocious the stick I wielded in my left hand.

However, at this moment, the man was suddenly kicked away, and he fell directly to the ground in a daze, and when he looked up, he found that it was the hooded man he had just seen today.

The man was about to get angry, but suddenly he gave the hooded man a pair of cold eyes, and suddenly he didn't dare to breathe.

"You... What do you want to do?"

Xu Mu ignored him, but lowered his body to check Sresta's injury.

Sleta seemed to feel something, and forcibly turned her head to look at Xu Mu, and the two met again, Sleta's mouth was full of blood, and her eyes were no longer numb.

And Xu Mu's eyes were no longer indifferent, but began to tremble.

Sleta's chapped mouth opened slightly, and she spoke again: "Help me..."

"Hmm. ”

Xu Mu agreed without hesitation, and Sleta seemed to hear the best words in the world, and the corners of her mouth forcibly grinned, and then fainted.

took out three silver coins from the money bag on his waist, and Xu Mu threw them directly on the man's face.

"These three silver coins should be reparated. Xu Mu hugged Sreta sideways and looked coldly at the man sitting on the ground.

The man hurriedly picked up the three silver coins, and he immediately smiled as if he had forgotten the pain, and completely ignored Xu Mu.

Xu Mu saw that there was no follow-up trouble, and he left the crowd with Sleta in his arms.

The crowd of onlookers began to point at Xu Mu, and the people who could spend three silver coins at ease, how could they not be surprised in this remote town.

On the second floor of the hotel, Ai Lu was sitting in her room, and now she calmed down and regretted what she had done to Xu Mu.

After all, Xu Mu was right, that girl really didn't need to be saved, and even Ai Lu himself couldn't save herself, so how could she have the ability to save others?

Besides, they have agreed on three chapters of the law before, and the follow-up actions must be subject to Xu Mu's arrangement...

Just when Ai Lu was annoyed by her temper, there was a noise from Xu Mu's room next to her, and she sighed and got up, wanting to go over and apologize to Xu Mu.

When Ai Lu opened the door of Xu Mu's room, she looked surprised.

There was a muddy girl lying on the bed, the same girl she had seen bullied on the street today.

Xu Mu glanced at Ai Lu and said lightly, "Come and help clean it." ”

"Okay. Ai Lu came back to his senses and hurriedly answered.

Ai Lu was responsible for cleaning the girl, while Xu Mu ran to the duffel bag to rummage through the medicine, whether it was useful or not, all of them were turned out.

"Why is this girl so badly injured?" Ailu checked the injury as she washed, but the ensuing results made her incredulous.

Xu Mu held the medicine next to the bed, and he still said lightly, "How is the injury?"

"It's broken... A few bones, and it is not known if there is internal bleeding in her internal organs. ”

Xu Mu frowned: "You can heal magic, right?"

"It's going to be... But the effect is not particularly good, and I don't have enough magic power, so I can only repair the bones back, and the rest will have to be recuperated with medicine. ”

"Nacheng, you do it first. ”

"Healing magic is not a panacea, and the process of repairing bones can be painful... When the time comes, you can help calm her down. Ailu took a deep breath.

Xu Mu nodded and said, "This girl... I haven't complained of pain from beginning to end, so I should be fine. ”

She didn't talk any more, her right palm was facing Sleta, her left hand pressed to her chest, she whispered something in her mouth, and red magic marks appeared around her again.

This time, Xu Mu looked very carefully, the magic mark was bent and twisted like dead wood, but there was a strong natural energy exuding from the mainland.

"Merciful Mother Earth God, please take a merciful look at the girl in front of you, she is in pain at this time, may you be merciful and grant God a wish... Heal!"

As soon as the words fell, the originally red magic seal turned pale green, and a spring breeze rose from Ailu's right hand and swept towards Sresta.

Sresta's body began to glow green, like dead wood in spring, dazzling.

As Ailu had said before, the process of repairing the bones was extremely painful, and Sleta, who was originally unconscious, suddenly opened her mouth and screamed in pain.

"Ahh

This was the first time Xu Mu had seen Sleta cry out in pain, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, but he didn't know what to do.

Sleta's young body stood up, her eyes open, and her face was miserable.

She turned her head to see Xu Mu with an indifferent face, Sleta stretched out her trembling hand, her mouth squirmed, and she opened her mouth: "Brother... Sleta hurts...!ah!"

Xu Mu grabbed Sleta's outstretched hand, her face softened, and she said softly, "It'll be fine in a while... It'll be fine in a while..."

"Brother, someone beat me... Someone whipped me with a stick, and Sleta hurt so much..."

"Brother is here, don't be afraid..."

...

After the healing magic was released, the room finally quieted down, and Sleta no longer cried out in pain, but a small hand in Xu Mu's hand, quietly falling asleep.

The best healing magic effect is still water magic and light magic, Ai Lu forcibly used healing magic, which also caused a lot of damage to his body, and all the magic power of the two brothers in the black shop yesterday has not been recovered.

Ai Lu's face was pale, she sat on the edge of the bed, watching Xu Mu holding Sleta's hand, obviously very tired, but couldn't help laughing: "You still saved her, I thought..."

"I didn't save her, she saved herself. Xu Mu said lightly.

"Is it..."

"Once..."Xu Mu's eyes were a little gloomy, "I was also so hungry that I almost fainted, and I couldn't stand it, so I had to steal other people's food." Like her, I was caught, beaten so badly that I almost thought I was going to die. I begged the crowd around me for help, hoping they would come and save my life... But no one in the crowd made a move, and everyone looked at me coldly, as if they didn't care about my life or death..."

"You..." Ai Lu couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw Xu Mu showing a rare look.

"I survived. At that time, I swore that no matter what happened, no matter how difficult life was, and I didn't have any ability, I would grit my teeth and resist... Even if I might die, I have to try to stay alive, if people ask for help... You have to save yourself. Xu Mu sighed, "Today I saw that her eyes were blank, and she didn't seem to have any expectations for the future... And then she looked at me again, and she called for help from me! She looked at her like she was looking at me a few years ago, a few years ago when I fell to the ground and begged for help... I wanted to save her, but her numb expression was like a walking corpse..."

Xu Mu's hand holding Sleta was suddenly held by a pair of gentle hands, he looked up and saw that it was Ai Lu, who smiled palely: "I know." ”

Xu Mu looked at the hands of the three people in front of him folding each other and smiled: "So don't blame me for not saving her immediately at that time..."

"How could I blame you. ”
