Chapter 25: Confrontation
"I was amazed at the line-up of the two sides of the confrontation when I suddenly caught a glimpse of where an emaciated figure was standing at the very front of the group of monsters. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info My heart was about to jump to my throat, and I immediately ran over. Xu Ming said that he smiled self-deprecatingly before continuing: "I didn't know the courage I had at that time. I ran in front of the figure and blocked her behind me. Xu Ming said this and looked at Wan Ting's mother, and found that there was nothing unusual about Wan Ting's mother, still caressing Wan Ting's hair.
Xu Ming smiled bitterly and continued: "I wanted to pull the figure behind me away, but when I stretched out my hand, the figure just said to me lightly: 'Xu Ming, leave me alone, go to the delivery room and take Huanting away. I was stunned, and turned to her and said, "I will go with her, and I will never leave her." After listening to what I said, she said: Let's go together, I will never leave you. I was dizzy, what's going on? Saying that, Xu Ming glanced at Lin Mo and said, "Imagine that I was about to take her away, and she replied to me, but she didn't move." What was my reaction at the time. ”
Lin Mo didn't speak, but Lin Ling couldn't help but interject and said, "I'm stunned!"
Xu Ming smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, I was really stunned at that time. But when I thought about it, no, with my understanding of that figure, it was impossible for her to be untargeted. Thinking of my sudden sense of foreboding, I followed her eyes and looked forward, a monster with cracked skin and red blood all over her body, staring at her. And when I looked closely at the contours of the monster's face, I vaguely saw the shadow of my brother who had lived with me from birth to death. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Ming felt that Wan Ting's body trembled obviously, although she was trying her best to control it, she still made Wan Ting in her arms feel it. Wan Ting couldn't care about pretending to be asleep at this time, and hugged her mother and said, "Mother, what's wrong with you?"
When Wan Ting's mother heard Wan Ting's shout, her mood stabilized a little, and she held Wan Ting's hair and said, "There is a wind blowing, I'm a little cold, you hug me tighter." ”
Wan Ting heard her mother say that it was cold, so she said: "Mother, since you feel cold, then let's go back and rest." ”
Wan Tingniang replied: "After Xu Ming finishes speaking, let's go back." As she said this, she clenched her left hand, which was hidden beneath her, into a fist.
Xu Ming looked at Wan Ting's stubborn mother, sighed, shook her head helplessly, and continued: "I said to the figure behind me: 'Is it him?' she replied to me, 'Yes. At the moment when I received that affirmative answer, I felt that it was dark, and it was difficult for me to gain a foothold. Turning to the monster in front of me, he asked, 'You...... You are...... 'The monster looked at me and said, 'Xu Ming, take her away.' I was in a dilemma when I saw the monster in front of me, and a flash flashed behind me. It was so fast that even now I'm not sure I can do it. I could only watch as it knocked the figure standing behind me unconscious. Then give me the figure and tell me to take her away at once. ”
When Xu Ming said this, he found that Wan Tingniang was staring at him. Xu Ming had to move his eyes away, but he continued: "When I settled that figure and Huanting and returned to the gate of Kejia Village, there was no one left. Neither the men in black nor the monsters had vanished into thin air, and I didn't find any clues except for a few traces of a fight on the ground. I went back to look for the corpses of the monsters I had killed earlier, and found that they were gone. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Ming smiled bitterly before continuing: "I thought I must have had a dream. But Ke Ting really disappeared. I asked the people in Kejiazhai afterwards, what did they see on the day Wan Ting was born? Without exception, they all told me that they saw the man in black and those monsters that day. There are even a few people who say that they have seen Ke Ting turn into a monster with their own eyes. And it didn't take long for me to be expelled from Kejiazhai, and Huanting's mother and daughter were left behind because Huanting was a descendant of Kejiazhai. I asked the people in Kejiazhai why they had expelled me, and they said that I had brought about the disaster in which she was born, so they wanted to expel me. In fact, I don't care if I can't be driven away or not, the main reason is that I'm worried about Huanting's mother and daughter. I wanted to take Huanting's mother and daughter away, but an elder from Kejiazhai took action and threw me out directly. ”
When Lin Mo heard this, he thought for a while, and then said to Xu Ming, "Do you have anything else to add?"
Xu Ming smiled and said, "Why do you think so?"
Lin Mo said: "Because what you said is not enough to be the reason why Huanting must go with me. ”
Xu Ming clapped his palms and said, "I'm now more and more curious about what this kid will achieve in the future." As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Ling and smiled at Lin Ling: "You must protect Huanting well when you grow up, do you know?"
Lin Ling was puzzled by his question, but still replied: "I will definitely protect Sister Huanting." After saying that, Lin Ling himself laughed.
Lin Mo frowned slightly and said, "You can tell the hidden part now." ”
Xu Ming said with a smile: "Of course, I still expect you to teach Huanting more!"
Lin Mo knew that if he didn't agree to teach Huan Ting, then Xu Ming might not be willing to say the key to letting Wan Ting go, so Xu Ming might not tell him the information about the caravan. The efforts that Lin Mo has made these days have been in vain, so he had to say, "I promised to help take care of Huanting." ”
Xu Ming heard Lin Mo say this, and scolded in his heart: "This old slippery head!" But he said: "Then there is Mr. Lao." Saying that, Xu Ming deliberately pulled up his homely routine and said to Lin Ling: "Young Master Lin must be very tired when he is in a hurry these days." And as far as I know, the journey to Ace Academy is much farther, and with the identity of Young Master Lin, how can there be no one to take care of such a long journey. Or let Huanting take care of it along the way. ”
When Xu Ming said this, Wan Ting frowned first, and was about to refuse, but Wan Ting's mother patted her on the back and signaled her not to speak.
When Lin Mo heard Xu Ming say this, he immediately made an indignant look and said: "Okay, you Xu Ming, I look at your appearance, I didn't expect your mind to be so subordinate, and I couldn't bear to let my niece be the concubine of my young master." ”
