The thin old man leaned on his crutches and looked into the distance.

It wasn't until he vaguely saw a moving figure that the worry on the old man's face faded.

When Shu Xiaoen approached, he found that the old woman's clothes were a little cold from the night wind.

The girl raised her head from Shu Xiaoen's shoulder and looked at the old woman in a daze.

Two lines of tears, rolling straight down.

Shu Xiaoen put the girl on the ground.

The old woman stepped forward and hugged the girl, who began to cry.

The dazzling stars in the sky attracted Shu Xiaoen's attention, and she turned her steps away and turned her back to look at the starry sky.

Ya Enming, who had just returned to the village, saw what was happening here.

"She's still alive, huh?"

There was a hint of surprise in his tone.

Shu Xiaoen turned his head sideways when he heard the sound, glanced at him, and found that his neck had been cut with an extremely shallow cut, and the bright red blood was soaked and solidified on his skin.

"How can it hurt?"

Ya Enming followed her gaze, raised his hand and touched it, his fingers stained with blood.

"Don't worry. ”

Shu Xiaoen nodded obediently, looked away and continued to look at the night sky.

"I'm going to leave here tomorrow afternoon. ”

Ya Enming, who was standing behind her, was silent for a long time.

"I'm leaving. Ya En Ming said, "Take care all the way." Feel free to ask someone close to you to come to me if you need to. ”

"Yes. ”

Ya Enming glanced at Shu Xiaoen's thin back, and turned his eyes to look at the dark night in the distance. It was like a night a long time ago.

Ya Enming withdrew his gaze and walked towards the thatched hut on his side.

I like quiet, so I found a place to stay in this place, and I can spend a few days here when I don't have a task.

Shu Xiaoen stood for a long time, knowing that Ya Enming had gone back to the house to sleep.

During this period, the old woman led the girl over, the girl recovered a little and thanked her, and the old woman looked at Shu Xiaoen with gratitude in her eyes.

Early the next morning.

So the old woman cooked the rice.

Most of the rice and vegetables were bought by Shu Xiaoen and Ya Enming.

The aroma of the dishes on the table spreads.

As soon as Shu Xiaoen walked out, she was pushed onto the chair by the old woman, handed her the dishes and chopsticks, and stared at her with a kind smile.

And the girl sitting over there was still dirty, and seemed to have hid in the bed to sleep before she could take a shower.

Shu Xiaoen held chopsticks and fixed her eyes on the girl for a long time.

Suddenly, he stood up.

Under the surprised gaze of the old woman, she squatted in front of the girl, and lifted the messy hair in front of her forehead to reveal a pair of panicked eyes.

"I'll take you to freshen up, okay?"

Shu Xiaoen said in a consultative tone.

The girl's tense body relaxed.

Knowing that Shu Xiaoen had no malicious intent, he hesitated for a long time before nodding and agreeing.

Shu Xiaoen took her hand and went to the river.

The mute grandmother followed silently on crutches.

Shu Xiaoen carried a bucket of water, moistened the water with a towel on the lawn on the side, and helped the girl wash her messy hair.

The water was dirty, but the girl seemed more energetic. Sure enough, there was a red birthmark on her forehead, but it was more like a scar, the kind that had been forcibly burned by something hot.

I used another dry towel to help the girl dry her wet hair, and then walked with the girl to the direction of the thatched hut with a bucket of water.

Inside the house, Shu Xiaoen closed the door and helped the girl scrub her dirty body.

I found another set of dry dresses and asked the girl to put them on herself.

It's a pity that there is no floor-to-ceiling mirror, so the girl can't see the contrast before and after - the girl who cleaned up is actually very delicate.

The biggest flaw may be the red birthmark on the forehead.

Shu Xiaoen raised his hand to touch the red skin, and found that it was slightly concave, which may be an old scar.

"Why don't you clean yourself up? You're actually pretty looking. ”

The girl bit her lower lip and held Shu Xiaoen's hand tightly.

Tears welled up in his eyes, rolling straight down.

Shu Xiaoen took a handkerchief and wiped the girl's tears.

"I'm scared. The girl suddenly said aloud, and there was a hint of brightness in her eyes that she had never had before, "I was caught in a dungeon by them, and then I ran out and was rescued by the mute grandmother." I'm afraid they'll come to the door again, so ...... That's why I don't dare to take care of myself anymore. ”

The mute grandmother nodded on the side.

Before Shu Xiaoen could react, the girl knelt in front of her.

"You're so powerful, teach me a few tricks, please!"

The girl's head slammed into the ground, thumping.

Shu Xiaoen was speechless, and turned his head to look at the workers on the side.

The technique of manipulating the black fog, the girl will definitely not be able to learn it, but Gong Xunhuan will know ordinary exercises, if she is willing to teach, there should be no big problem.

Gong Xunhuan said: "In that case, we have to stay here for a few more days?"

Shu Xiaoen held the girl up.

"You teach her. "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to leave.

Gong Xunhuan looked carefully at the crying girl over there.

After about half a pillar of incense, Gong Xunhuan shook his head and met Shu Xiaoen's inquiring gaze.

"She's not this material, her qualifications are too poor. ”

"Just learn a little bit, just defend yourself, and I don't expect her to achieve much. ”

"Yes. ”

Gong Xunhuan reluctantly responded.

I didn't forget to add, "If you don't have good qualifications, even if you learn the simplest, you will learn quite slowly." ”

The girl sensed something, followed Shu Xiaoen's line of sight, and looked towards an open space behind her.

He turned around suspiciously, raised his chin, and looked at Shu Xiaoen.

"Do you want to start learning now?" Shu Xiaoen asked for fun.

Gong Xunhuan looked at the girl carefully.

"She's so tired these days, you can let her have a good rest, and it's not too late to start tomorrow morning. ”

The girl saw that Shu Xiaoen had been staring at her, and she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

You don't agree, do you?

Just when she was nervous and frustrated, Shu Xiaoen, who had been silent, pushed the girl to sit on the chair.

"Eat first, then go to bed. When we have the strength, tomorrow we will start practicing the Fa. ”

The girl was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Shu Xiaoen in a daze, with a childlike innocent smile on the corner of her mouth.

The girl should be about the same age as her, seventeen or eighteen years old, but she is still relatively thin, less than Shu Xiaoen's shoulder height - or perhaps she has suffered too much, causing the girl to be precocious than her peers.

Dumb granny secretly wiping her tears.

Originally, the dumb grandmother wanted to watch them finish eating before eating, but Shu Xiaoen reluctantly ate a big bowl.

After eating, the girl was busy cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and refused to let the mute grandmother help.

After washing the dishes and chopsticks, the girl wanted to say something grateful to Shu Xiaoen, but she was pushed by Shu Xiaoen before she reluctantly entered the house to rest.

Ya Enming, who was passing by outside the door, couldn't help but pause.
