Chapter 15: The Unfathomable Heart of Man (I)
Regarding Yue Lingling's withdrawal, Xiao Tian was surprised.
"What's the matter, you're not going in?"
"That's right, I ran out secretly this time, and now I'm all injured, I can't give full play to my strength, the four guards of the Yue family, two of them are broken, if you still rush in, you will definitely die, rather than die in vain, it's better to take care of your injuries." Yue Lingling thought that his trial was over, and his face was unwilling, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
Yue Lingling looked at the barren mountains and forests, lost his mind for a while, looked at Xiao Meng again, frowned, and said, "Sister, you are also injured and can't go in anymore, come back to you with us." ”
Xiao Meng looked at the wound on his arm and looked at Xiao Tian with questioning eyes.
Giving Xiao Meng to these people, Xiao Tian always had unease in his heart, but if he sent her back, it would be tantamount to delaying his cultivation, and he was in a dilemma for a while, and he really didn't know what to do.
The Xiao family and the Yue family are world friends, and they have always been good friends, the eldest brother Xiao Feng and Yue Lingling's cousin are married, and judging from the performance of the past few days, Yue Lingling can still be trusted, but what if there is an accident again? Xiao Tian struggled for a while.
"Second brother, don't worry, there is Sister Lingling to protect me, you don't have to worry, you can go in and cultivate by yourself. Xiao Meng seemed to see Xiao Tian's doubts and spoke.
After a complicated struggle in his heart, Xiao Tian nodded, "Then, okay, I'm sorry for you, Miss Yue." ”
"After going through so many things together, and still being so separated from me, call me Lingling" Yue Lingling winked at Xiao Tian.
"Then, I'm sorry for you, Lingling" Xiao Tian scratched his forehead, looking embarrassed.
"Got it!" Yue Lingling showed a smile at this time, and instructed Boss Yue and Elder Yue to support Xiao Meng and walk out. Bidding farewell to the group, Xiao Tian continued his cultivation path.
A day later, Xiao Tian had gone deeper than a hundred miles, and a scene in the depths of the jungle made Xiao Tian, who was a human being, frightened.
Under the clearing, there was a pennant with the word "Tong" written on it, and there were more than 20 corpses on the ground, lying on the ground, horizontal and vertical, and they had lost their breath.
There are five people's corpses lying ten meters in front of him, but they are only half of their bodies, all the internal organs, large intestine and small intestine are leaking out, mixed with yellow liquid, emitting a stimulating smell of blood, and more than a dozen people, who were chopped off with knives, the most outrageous thing is that there are three bloody skeletons being picked up by the trident, and the white bones of Sen Sen leak in broad daylight.
"Could it be that they are from the Tong family? Why were they so brutally killed? It seems that these people should have just died, and their bodies are still hot, and they should have been killed by people! Basically, they were killed with one blow, and they should have been done by a master. Xiao Tian looked at the tragic situation at the scene, and after analyzing it, he left quickly, so as not to get into trouble.
What kind of deep hatred and hatred do you have to be a corpse after death? Xiao Tian felt a wave of sympathy in his heart.
"Sure enough, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and this world may be more ferocious than I imagined. Xiao Tian shook his head, didn't think about it anymore, and continued to move forward.
After walking forward for about half an hour, a cry caught Xiao Tian's attention.
A petite body came into view, a group of corpses lying in the clearing, and next to a little girl in white, shivering and sobbing quietly.
Judging from the clothing, these dead people should belong to the gang of people who died before, could it be that this little girl is also a member of the Tong family?
Saving this little girl will undoubtedly delay his cultivation, but he can't watch the little girl starve to death in the barren mountains, and there are other dangers, Xiao Tian felt a dilemma in his heart.
Seeing Xiao Tian coming, the little girl was like a frightened little rabbit, and immediately hid behind the big tree and looked at Xiao Tian vigilantly.
Xiao Tian couldn't help but be speechless for a while, "Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, although you can't control the affairs of the world, you can't see death and not save it." ”
"Don't be afraid, I won't go over, you go outside from here, about two or three days, you can go out, I have some jerky here, enough for you to eat for a few days" Xiao Tian grinned, smiled, took out a bag of dry food from his backpack, put it on the ground, turned around, and planned to leave.
Watching Xiao Tian leave, the little girl did not take the package, but followed Xiao Tian closely and trotted all the way.
"Why are you following me, I'm going to cultivate, it's dangerous, you go out first" Xiao Tian comforted the little girl in front of him.
The little girl didn't speak, just looked at Xiao Tian, her eyes glistening with tears, and she looked aggrieved. No matter what Xiao Tian asked, the little girl just didn't say a word, and followed Xiao Tian closely, which gave him a headache.
In the next half a day, the little girl has been following Xiao Tian, in order to let the little girl keep up with him, Xiao Tian also deliberately slowed down the pace, in an open space, Xiao Tian took out a bag of jerky from his backpack, drank a few sips of water, and chewed it.
The little girl watched Xiao Tian eat, swallowed and spit, walked over cautiously, and asked softly, "Can you give me a piece?"
Raising his head, looking at the little girl's big eyes that were so clear, Xiao Tian's heart seemed to be touched, smiled, took out a piece of jerky from his backpack, gave it to the little girl, and smiled with a cracked mouth, "Eat, it's okay!"
The little girl raised her head, glanced at Xiao Tian in confusion, took the jerky and began to eat it in a big gulp, looking at Xiao Tian, there was more gratitude in her eyes. It didn't take long for the little girl to look at the dried meat in Xiao Tian's backpack again, swallowing her saliva, and at the same time looking at Xiao Tian timidly, trembling.
The little girl's experience reminded Xiao Tian of his sister in his previous life, and he suddenly had a desire to protect.
"Here you go!"
Xiao Tian handed the backpack in his hand to the little girl, touched her head, and smiled, "Eat, it's okay!"
"Thank you," the little girl glanced at Xiao Tian gratefully.
"Little sister, what's your name, why are you here?" Xiao Tian looked at the dirty little girl with a sympathetic face.
"The family is all dead, wearing masks, people in black..."The little girl's eyes leaked a sense of fear, and she trembled all over, and rushed straight to Xiao Tian.
Xiao Tian was caught off guard, the little girl was already holding herself, two lines of tears flowed from her eyes, a burst of sobbing, and her whole body trembled.
Seeing the little girl's weak expression, Xiao Tian was protective, gently hugged the little girl, and comforted, "Don't be afraid, be good, don't cry, tell me, what is your name" patted the little girl's back and comforted her.
"Ahh Ah San... Everyone in the family calls me Ah San," the little girl couldn't stop sobbing.
Wiping the little girl's tears, Xiao Tian gently hugged the little girl, thinking that it was the same as the corpses in the forest, and the Yunxiu on the clothes was the same as the Yunxiu on the little girl's clothes, so he guessed a rough idea.
This little girl is very likely to be the family member of the previous team, and it seems that she should have been robbed and killed by others, which is really pitiful.
"That's... Is there anyone else in your house?" Xiao Tian wiped the tears from the corners of the little girl's eyes and asked softly.
"No... Without... It's all dead," Ah San sobbed quietly and shed two lines of tears.
"That's... Before you go out of the forest, you follow me, and when you get out, I will take you to a relative's house. Xiao Tian touched the little girl's forehead, opened his mouth and smiled.
And the little girl lowered her head, and a trace of cruelty flashed in her eyes!
