Chapter 22: The Little Girl
"Stinky girl, don't you want to be lazy, hurry up and give me a good sense of the direction of the medicinal materials, and don't blame me for throwing you to feed the wolves!"
On this day, when Aotian was looking for a demonic beast in the forest, a rude scolding voice came from the woods not far from his side, and it couldn't help but attract his attention.
"I'm really tired, let me rest for a while!" a soft-sounding voice followed.
"Deputy Gang Leader, why don't you let her rest for a while, anyway, the brothers are tired too, so you might as well rest in place!" another man's voice sounded.
"Rest a fart, don't fuck Lang time, give me some energy, and later the precious medicinal materials will be found by others first, and we will find a fart!" the rude voice scolded.
Hearing these voices, Aotian was a little curious, so he quietly leaned over.
A moment later, Aotian had already seen through the gap in the trees and saw the few people who had just spoken.
They were five muscular men with long swords pinned to their waists and a cute little girl with a rather sleek appearance.
The girl looked to be eleven or twelve years old, dressed plainly, thin and weak, and a little cute.
And her face was very pale, and it was evident that she was really tired, as she said.
At this moment, the little girl was closing her eyes, her brows furrowed, and her long eyelashes trembling slightly, as if she was contemplating, as if she was feeling something.
After a moment, she opened her big tired eyes, pointed to the front right, and said, "Go that way!"
"Let's go!" looked in the direction the little girl pointed, and a man with a meaty face and a fierce appearance waved his hand.
Immediately, the big hand took the little girl who was faltering and walked in the direction that the girl was pointing.
It is not difficult to identify from his voice that this person is the person who scolded the little girl just now, and he is also known as the deputy gang leader.
Seeing the little girl's thin body, dragged away by the rude man, Aotian felt a slight pity in his heart.
In fact, he really wanted to save the little girl, but after all, he hadn't figured out the strength of the other party's five people and the relationship between them and the little girl, so he couldn't act rashly.
However, through the words of those people just now, it is not difficult for Aotian to guess that this little girl should be able to perceive the location of the medicinal materials, so she was caught by these people and looked for the medicinal materials for them.
"It seems that this little girl is not an ordinary person, maybe she also has some kind of special physique!" Aotian was a little curious, so he immediately secretly followed behind the group.
But Aotian was afraid of being discovered by that group, so he didn't follow too closely, and kept a distance of dozens of meters from them.
However, the deputy gang leader led by that group of people scolds the little girl from time to time, so Aotian can easily follow them based on his voice alone.
Soon after, there was a sudden sound of a tiger roaring in front of him, followed by the sound of a fierce fight.
Hearing the sound, Aotian immediately approached quickly, and hid in a big tree next to the battlefield to watch the battle.
You must know that this is an excellent opportunity to observe the strength of those five people at this time.
In the middle of the field, a Gale Tiger was fighting fiercely with the deputy gang leader and three men, while another man was on the sidelines, guarding the little girl.
Soon after, the battle in the field was over, and the Gale Tiger was besieged and killed by the four men.
Judging from the battle process between the four of them and the Gale Tiger, Aotian easily determined the strength of these four people.
The deputy gang leader who is the leader should be a high-ranking martial artist powerhouse, and the other three, two of them are lower-level martial artists, and one is a high-level martial artist, as for the man who guarded the little girl, although he can't determine his strength, he shouldn't be too strong.
Seeing this, Aotian already had a full confidence in his heart that he could kill all of them, but he didn't know what the origin of these people was, and if he killed them, would it put the little girl in a bigger predicament.
Therefore, he still held back and did not make a move.
It's just that I'm very curious about what the little girl perceives is the medicinal herb.
Aotian knew very well that if it was just ordinary medicinal materials, it was estimated that these people would not have to be led by this little girl, and they would not be in such a hurry.
After the gang leader killed the Gale Tiger, they were all a little tired, so the gang leader asked everyone to rest in place for a while.
But after not resting for a while, the deputy gang leader asked the little girl to feel the location of the medicinal herbs again, and then when she opened her eyes again, he asked, "How far is that medicinal herb from here?"
"About a dozen miles!" replied the girl obediently.
"Well, there are only ten miles left in the last ten miles, let's continue to set off and rest when we find the medicinal herbs!" the gang leader stood up again, and said with some eagerness.
Hearing this, the little girl and the other four men had no choice but to get up one after another, set off again, and walked briskly in the direction designated by the little girl.
Led by the little girl, the group came to a valley and stopped at a bush.
"Right there!" the girl said, gesturing to the bushes in front of her, in a soft voice. Immediately he was the first to burrow into the bushes, and the dwarf ones were overwhelmed by the thick bushes.
Seeing this, the five men drew their swords one after another, clearing all the bushes in front of them, revealing the little girl inside.
At this moment, the little girl is squatting next to a plant more than ten centimeters tall and as clear as jade, but the leaves are purple, and her little hand is gently stroking the leaves of the plant, as if she is touching a well-behaved kitten.
"I'm sorry, I didn't want to hurt you, but ......," the girl continued, but her eyes were full of regret and pity, as if the plant were her best friend.
"It's a purple jade flower!" Aotian, who was secretly hiding in the big tree next to him, opened his eyes wide and looked at the plant next to the little girl in great surprise.
The appearance of the plant is almost exactly the same as the purple jade flower painted by the masked man, except that this purple jade flower has just produced buds and has not yet bloomed, that is, it has not yet reached the period when the medicinal properties are the best.
"Sure enough, it's not an ordinary medicinal herb!" Aotian sighed in his heart. As he had guessed, these people didn't pick those ordinary medicinal herbs at all, and specially asked the girl to take them in search of this extremely rare medicinal herb.
You must know that this kind of purple jade flower can be sold for hundreds of thousands or even millions of gold coins with a single plant, and it is already worth the trip if they can find this one.
......
"Fuck, it hasn't bloomed yet, little girl, hurry up and let it be watered with your blood!" the deputy gang leader with a full face glanced at the purple jade flower and said with some displeasure.
Hearing this, the little girl's body shook, obviously a little scared.
"It's, it's going to bloom in ten days, let's wait here!" said the little girl, clenching her little hand into a fist, hiding it in her sleeve.
"Wait a fart!, Lao Tzu doesn't have that leisure!" said the deputy gang leader angrily, and immediately squatted down, ignoring the little girl's frightened appearance, and pulled the little girl's left hand.
As if pinched by the rude hands of the gang leader, the girl let out a low moan, and her small hands clenched into fists suddenly stretched out.
Looking closely, the little girl's immature left palm was full of horizontal and vertical scars, which looked very distressing.
The girl did not resist, but turned her head in fear, biting her lips tightly, and the pair of beautiful women frowned tightly.
And the gang leader was full of ruthlessness, and used the blade in his hand to cut a hole in the girl's immature palm, and the red blood suddenly flowed out.
The girl screamed in pain, her immature little hands couldn't help shaking, her teeth sank deep into her lower lip, and tears flowed from her beautiful eyes.
But as if he hadn't seen it, the gang leader immediately pulled the girl's hand to the root of the purple jade flower, so that the blood flowing from the little girl's hand dripped down to the root of the purple jade flower.
"Damn, a bunch of brutes!" Aotian on the tree couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help but burst into foul language.
From the words of the deputy gang leader just now, it was not difficult for him to guess that the girl was not only able to sense the location of this precious medicinal herb, but also to use blood to ripen plants.
And seeing the hideous scars on the girl's hands, Aotian could think of how many times the girl had endured pain in the past days and helped these people to ripen medicinal herbs.
The moment Aotian's scolding sounded, the deputy gang leader was startled, and their eyes immediately looked at the big tree where Aotian was, and they all put the long swords in their hands in front of them.
"Who?" shouted the gang leader, standing up, his eyes wide with rage.
But at this moment, I saw a bolt of lightning shoot out from the big tree, and instantly came to the gang leader, turning into an angry figure, and before the gang leader could react, a fist slammed into his face, and immediately knocked it out of the air, but the two front teeth remained in place.
Seeing this scene, the other four people were shocked, and they jumped back one after another, looking at Aotian with horror on their faces. But seeing that the person in front of him was just a hairy boy who was less than twenty years old, he couldn't help but be even more stunned.
They never expected that the person who could have that amazing speed would be just a hairy boy.
You must know that if this kid didn't use a fist just now, but a sword, I'm afraid their deputy gang leader would be dead by now.
But they didn't know what to say, Aotian was angry now, if a sword solved that gang leader, it would be too cheap for him.
"Damn, a bunch of brutes stuffed with gold coins!" Aotian's eyes were cold, and he swept over the faces of the other four, and suddenly frightened the four of them to take a few steps back.
"You, who are you?" asked one of the men, with a shaky voice.
"Who are you?" Aotian didn't answer the question, and there was a cold killing intent in his eyes.
"I, we're from the Black Dragons!" the man replied truthfully.
