Chapter 17, The Central Plains Town
Qinglian Village is a remote mountain village far away from the Central Plains and the Manshan Mountains, a pond of lotus flowers is blooming at the end of the village, a few small fish in the water play leisurely, the green grass is on the Mo, the wild flowers are dotted, and the light smoke is entangled.
A few chickens and ducks were grooming their wings by the farmhouse, and a tiger-headed little yellow dog pounced from the corner, and the startled chickens and ducks flapped their wings and flew wildly.
A small stone bridge spans a mountain stream, the width of the bridge is only the width of two people walking side by side, and the other side of the stone bridge connects to the vast mountain, and the villagers will pass this bridge when they go up the mountain to collect goods and hunt.
On one side of the bridge, there is a huge stone monument, which is very old and weathered, and is covered with moss, covering up the vicissitudes of life on it.
Yan Xiangying, a village girl, walked across the bridge with dry food to deliver food to the people in the stilted building, but when she walked up the steps, she saw a terrifying scene, her second uncle was lying on the ground covered in black blood, already dead, not far from his corpse, there was also a lion and a wolf beast corpse, the beast looked very fierce, and there was a piece of torn human flesh in its mouth.
Seeing someone coming in, Soul Xiaotian opened his eyes with difficulty, "I said, when I came, he was already dead, and I killed the lion wolf, you...... Will you believe it? β
After saying this, Soul Xiaotian passed out, and when he woke up again, he found himself lying on a wooden bed, in a daze, the silhouette of a woman appeared in front of him, the man came over, helped him up, and a porcelain bowl came to his mouth.
A mouthful of water entered his throat, and there was a huge pain in his body, and he spit out all the water in his lower abdomen.
"Hey, slow down!"
The figure patted him on the back and brought the bowl over again.
Soul Xiaotian drank two sips of water from the beginning, felt better, looked at the figure with eyes that was close in front of him, but couldn't see clearly, and wondered: "Ning'er, is it you?" β
The figure replied, "Me? My name is not Ning'er, my name is Yan Xiangying. β
"That'...... Where is this girl? β
The figure replied with a snort, "Our place is called Qinglian Village. β
Qinglian Village? Soul Xiaotian had never heard of the name of Qinglian Village, but he must have entered the realm of the Central Plains.
"Dare to ask the girl if you have ever seen a woman my age?"
"The woman you said is called Ning'er!"
Soul Xiaotian hurriedly took her hand and hurriedly asked, "Have you seen her?" Where is she? β
The figure shook off his hand and exclaimed, "Hey! You've been calling her name all the time when you're unconscious, and of course I know it's her, but ......"
"But what?"
"But I haven't seen her, did you really kill the lion wolf? I carried you back to the village, and many people saw it. β
"Yes, thank you, girl, I'm leaving."
The blow on the Prison Witch Mountain, Soul Xiaotian broke a few ribs in his chest, and he had to worry about being noticed in the past few days, he had not entered the oil and rice, and his body had reached the limit, and he wanted to find something to eat in the stilted building, but he encountered a lion and wolf to commit murder, and he struggled to kill the evil beast, and he couldn't hold on at all, and fainted to the ground.
After a few hard blows, he fell heavily on the bed, and a white cloth on his chest oozed blood.
"Oh, you don't have to move, your ribs and arms are broken, and it took me a long time to wrap them up for you."
The figure hurried to help him, and kept complaining about him.
"Look at you, your life is too hard to protect, how can you still think about finding someone?"
Soul Xiaotian swallowed the gas blocking his throat and said, "Yes...... It's me who is in too much of a hurry. β
"Okay, don't move, I'll get some food." With that, the figure left.
Looking at the blurred back, Soul Xiaotian owed a debt and said, "Thank you, girl." β
The door was closed, the house was calm, Soul Xiaotian couldn't see the furnishings in the house clearly, he didn't care about this, at least he was still alive now.
I just don't know how Ning'er is now?
Slowly, his thoughts returned to that terrible night, in the wind and thunder, his people fell one by one, that night he lost all his dearest, he lost everything, that night, he clearly saw a golden feather arrow piercing his chest, he clenched his fists, a trace of warmth appeared in the corners of his eyes, why is all this? Is it just for that stone?
I want to get better as soon as possible, I still have to go to Ning'er, Soul Xiaotian thought secretly.
He began to check the condition of his body, five ribs were broken, and the bones of his arms were shattered, he had practiced the bone clan exercises with Chu Xiong since he was a child, and he was naturally very sensitive to his bones, and the five ribs and arms were simply docked, although he did not completely grasp the size, but also protected his internal organs from being pierced.
He used the exercises of the god and demon arm, and found that when the spiritual power passed through the most important heart vein, it was completely blocked, and he used the emperor's soul technique, and the result was the same, the heart vein was blocked, and the spiritual power he could use was pitiful.
He also found a bead in his dantian, and the bead exuded warm energy, nourishing his bones and meridians.
Grandpa told him that the corpse clan had a strange treasure called the "Dingling Bead", which was already extraordinary, and it had been refined in the body of a thousand-year-old drought for several years, and the second method was endless.
Soul Xiaotian used the exercises of the god and demon arm, and Cui Dong wrapped a few broken bones with the little spiritual power left, and slowly recuperated.
While he was thinking in a daze, there was a noise outside the door, and a young man was heard outside the door, "Is that person in the house?" I'm going to go in and have a look. β
"Hey! Li Chunzai, you can't go in, he's seriously injured. The man who spoke had apparently been stopped at the door.
"Xiangying, let me go in and have a look."
"Why do you have to go in?" Xiangying asked puzzled.
"You are my fiancΓ©e, we are about to get married, you hide a man in the house, if this is spread, where will I lose face?"
"You...... Li Chunzai ...... You, why do I have to marry you? The female voice was clearly annoyed by what he had just said.
"Xiangying, the marriage between you and me is a great thing arranged by God, you and I are married, the two families are friends, and they are close to each other."
"Besides, I'm already a registered disciple of the Agni Hall now, do you know what the Agni Hall is? That's the branch hall of the world's largest sect Qi Palace, that's the disciple of the gods, my future is limitless, can you follow me to endure hardships? β
"You ......"
"Okay, don't make a noise......"
Suddenly, an older voice interrupted them.
"Dad, Li Chun is ...... him"
"You stinky girl, you saved an unknown person back, and slaughtered all the hens that laid eggs for me!" The old voice directly reprimanded her.
"You, see if I don't fix you stinky girl!"
The man said, "Uncle Yan, Sister Xiangying is young and ignorant, don't be angry." β
"Hey! Look at the spring of the people, and then look at you, I don't understand the etiquette at all. β
"Daddy...... You...... You guys! The voice trembled slightly, as if it was very aggrieved.
"Uncle, don't be angry, in fact, I'm also worried about the safety of Sister Xiangying, I heard the village chief say that there was a death in the mountains yesterday, I'm afraid that person is."
Li Chun lowered his voice and continued: "Yes...... It's the terrifying barbarian demon in the mountain. β
"Ahh The old voice was visibly taken aback.
"No way, he's not." Xiangying said immediately
"Sister Xiangying, you are young and ignorant, don't be deceived by his rhetoric!"
Li Chunzai said again: "The people in the barbarian domain are all demons who eat people and don't spit out bones!" β
"Okay, more is better than less, whether he is a demon or not, let him go!" An old voice interrupted him, visibly panicked.
"He just woke up, and he can't move now, don't do that! At least...... At least make his injuries better! β
The three people outside were silent for a long time before the old voice finally spoke: "Tomorrow!" If he can't go by himself tomorrow, he can't blame us! β
"Daddy!"
"Alright, so be it!"
Soul Xiaotian listened to all the conversations between the three of them, and a complex emotion rose from his heart, echoing in his chest for a long time and could not be dispersed.
"Brute Domain? Sorcerer? He smiled wryly.
After a long time, the sky gradually darkened, a faint squeak came, the door was pushed open, the slight sound of footsteps slowly came, Soul Xiaotian's nerves instantly tensed, just when he thought that someone would be unfavorable to him, the smell of chicken soup rushed into his nostrils.
He ran around for days, suffered from this tragedy, and after being seriously injured, he did not eat the oil and rice, and now although it is just an ordinary bowl of chicken soup, for him, it is better than the elixir.
The smell was getting closer and closer, the woman sat on the edge of the bed, gently helped him up, and then a warm feeling touched his lips, where could Soul Xiaotian resist at this time? He opened his mouth and drank.
The figure didn't speak, just fed him spoonful by spoon, and in the small firewood room, there was only the sound of spoons and bowls colliding and smacking lips and drinking soup, and there was no other sound.
Soon, the figure stopped, and the chicken broth in the bowl went down.
She turned her back and didn't leave, and the soul Xiaotian on the bed didn't know what to say.
The room returned to a deathly silence, and after a long time, the figure said in a low tone with grievances: "You're not a bad person, are you?" β
Soul Xiaotian is at a loss, is he a bad guy or a good guy? He didn't even know about it. "I ...... I'm not a bad person right now, but ...... Maybe it will be in the future! β
"Where's your family?"
"They...... They were all killed. β
The girl seemed to be caught up in sad memories, and muttered to herself, "You won't be a bad person in the future." β
The figure left a word and walked out, and the room was once again dark and quiet.
"Why? Can you be so sure? β
