Chapter 22: The Turning Point
Like a meteor flashing, the cold light is blooming, and the red light is shining.
The demon beast that was about to devour the child still kept its mouth open, and its head had been cut off, and it rolled in the air a few times before falling to the ground, and was absorbed by the snake body that meandered by, absorbing the remaining spiritual power inside, and turned into dry bones in the blink of an eye.
Ye Yousheng pursed his lips, looking at Qin Zhen, whose sleeves were soaked with blood, and he didn't know why an inexplicable anger rose in his heart. But he quickly turned his head and sent the children who were still crying on the ground to a safe place when Qin Zhen slashed the demon beast.
When Heng Mingzhi arrived panting, he saw the picture of Ye Yousheng and Qin Zhen standing still, and around them, in addition to the corpses of demon beasts, there were also many villagers, sitting on the edge of the ruins, looking at them vigilantly.
The snake bone was satisfied, and it turned back into the small jade bracelet, holding its tail around Qin Hao's right wrist, covering her bloody wound.
The pierced wound on the back of her hand was no longer bleeding, and Qin Hao tore off the clean sleeve on her left side and bandaged the palm of her right hand. The sleeve on her right side was already stained red with blood, but not the blood of the demon beast, but her own blood,
Ye Yousheng looked at her across from her, his lips squirming, looking injured.
"Senior sister...... Why are you lying to me? ”
Qin Hao couldn't be sure what he was talking about for a while.
Ye Yousheng clenched his fists when he saw it: "You told me that the wound was fake, but it is clear that you have been injured all along, why don't you even want to tell me this......
Qin Zhen didn't expect that what he cared about was this, and he was rarely stunned, not knowing how to explain it.
Heng Mingzhi hurriedly stepped forward and stood between the two of them, playing a round game: "Okay, okay, let's talk about this slowly later, let's solve the problems here first, I don't know if there will be monsters coming again, let's settle the villagers here first, and talk about other problems slowly." ”
Qin Hao's face was expressionless, swept the vigilant and hateful gazes of the surrounding villagers, took out some food, medicine and clothes from the storage bag, and put them on the ground: "We were just passing by here, and we didn't want to do anything to you, the demon beasts have all been killed, you use these things first." ”
After that, it's time to leave.
Ye Yousheng looked at Qin Hao in astonishment, and when Qin Hao passed by him, he subconsciously grabbed Qin Hao: "Won't we treat them first?" Some of them were so badly injured that they wouldn't have survived without our help, even with medicine. ”
"Look at the way they look at us." Qin Hao's voice was cold, "To them, monks like us may be more terrifying than demon beasts. After all, the demon beast can still give them a good time, but if they are targeted by the monks, it will be the torture of eternal life. ”
Ye Yousheng subconsciously let go and went to see those villagers.
Only then did he notice that all the villagers were tense, their eyes fixed on the three of them, and some villagers were holding farm tools in front of him. Except for the few children who were rescued by him, although they had not recovered from the tragic situation just now, their eyes were still timid, but they were not hostile to him.
"But...... We didn't hurt them. Ye Yousheng said softly. Not only that, but it was Qin Hao who saved the village from the demon beasts, why did the villagers still think that they were the same as other monks, and they still looked at them with such eyes.
"We know we're not going to do anything to enslave them, but they don't." Qin Hao turned around and looked at Ye Yousheng seriously, "They don't have the ability to protect themselves, they can only be wary of any monk." What's more, do you think no monk has ever done anything like ours? They called the monsters to attack the mortal village, and then rescued the villagers when they were desperate, so that the villagers would be grateful to him so that they could work hard for him. ”
"Therefore, our behavior will not be any different from other monks in the eyes of the villagers. Leave your stuff and go, we still have to hurry. ”
Qin Hao left the village without any nostalgia.
Ye Yousheng was still stunned in place, feeling the hateful and suspicious eyes around him, and the whole person was like falling into an ice cave. It was Heng Mingzhi who went to pull him, so he relieved himself and left with Heng Mingzhi in silence.
When the three of them were gone, the villagers dared to start their activities one after another, but none of them touched the materials left by Qin Zhen, and no one dared to come over to get them.
The little kid who was rescued by Qin Hao from the mouth of the demon beast didn't understand why the adults didn't want the ready-made supplies, so they had to go over and get them after a few steps.
His mother screamed and rushed over to hold him in her arms, her eyes full of fear: "Mingseon, don't touch those things!" ”
The little child called Mingshan widened his eyes in confusion in his mother's arms: "Why, it was something left by the good sister, and the good sister also saved me." Didn't my mother say that you can't accept the kindness of others in vain? But we haven't thanked the good sister yet, and we have to live up to her heart. ”
The woman hugged Myeongseon tightly, choking back tears, not knowing how to speak to the child.
The village chief of Xinzhao Village, named Kong De'an, is a man in his forties with deep scars on his face, and he is none other than Mingshan's father. He took Kong Mingshan from his wife's arms, hugged him in his arms, and let him see the scar on his face: "Mingshan, don't you always want to know where the scar on Daddy's face came from?" When you were not born, there were also monsters that attacked our village, and there were monks who passed by and saved us, and it was at that time that Daddy's scar was left. ”
"At first, we thought they were really kind and grateful to them, and we also went to Yangping City with them at their request. As a result, when we went there, we learned that the monster attacks were nothing more than a trick they had made up and acted up by themselves, and the villagers who went to Yangping City were driven by them as the lowest slaves, and they had to become the targets of their anger. ”
Kong Dean looked at Kong Mingshan's clean and pure eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Your Uncle Wang Xi and Aunt Yuelian were taken to Yangping City at that time, and every time they returned to the village, they were injured. ”
"And the supplies they gave us, we all thought that since they were given by the immortals, we gave them to a few children, wanting the children to be exposed to immortals. As a result, the children who had come into contact with the materials all died mysteriously without exception, and even the corpses were taken away by those immortals. ”
Kong Mingshan looked at his father: "Then we should only hate the immortals who hurt us, since there are Huai immortals, there must be good immortals." ”
Kong Dean shook his head: "We are just mortals, what can we use to tell if they are kind or not." We can't afford to discern what is wrong, so we can only hate all the monks......"
Before the human emperor died, the life of mortals was not so bad, and immortals generally did not come to contact mortals, they lived separately and never crossed the line. But now, everything has changed, and no one will stop the monks who have invaded their lives, and their lives have been thrown into chaos.
Even if they were really kind monks, Kong De'an didn't want the other party to come into contact with them again.
He put Kong Mingshan down and touched his head: "Mingshan will help his father and mother take care of the wounded together." ”
"Good!" Kong Mingshan nodded heavily, followed behind Kong De'an, and helped him to give medicine to the injured villagers.
Outside Xinzhao Village.
Ye Yousheng was wondering if this was a turning point in the final change of the senior sister in the previous life.
She knew very well that her good intentions would always be misunderstood, and she had no way to explain it. And when these emotions accumulated over the years, and finally made her unbearable, she even changed her original intention and became the terrifying demon.
"Senior sister." Ye Yousheng took a deep breath and grabbed Qin Hao's left hand, who was walking in front alone.
"Shall we go back to Xinzhao Village," he slowed his tone, "we can't just admit defeat without trying." The human heart is not a stone, as long as we tell them well, they will believe us. And, even if they don't believe us, you have indeed saved their lives, and they should thank you no matter what, instead of just accepting your kindness with hatred. ”
Qin Hao sighed, and pressed her right hand on Ye Yousheng's hand holding her: "Ah Sheng, I don't need these." I just do what I want to do, I don't need them to thank me, that means nothing to me. ”
Ye Yousheng shook his head stubbornly: "What about Senior Sister?" Senior sister is so kind to me, do you want me to hate my senior sister like them? If Senior Sister hopes that I can accept your kindness and grow up according to your wishes, then it should be the same for those you have saved with your own hands. ”
When he said this, he prayed in his heart that Qin Hao would refute his words, and he wanted Qin Hao to approve of him. He wanted to be unique in Qin Hao's heart, but if he wanted to persuade her now, he had to put himself among everyone, so that Qin Hao could lower his gaze and put those people in his eyes.
Heng Mingzhi went to pull Ye Yousheng: "Don't you know how good your senior sister is to you?" Aren't you breaking her heart when you say that? ”
Ye Yousheng remained motionless and looked straight at Qin Zhen: "Senior sister, if I am not your junior brother, if I am like these mortals, will you be like this, and no longer look at me." ”
In the previous life, he was rescued by Qin Hao, and he has been tormented by this problem. In this life, he can persuade himself that he is Qin Zhen's junior brother, and she will be good to him. But in his previous life, he was nothing, and even so despicable, but Qin Zhen not only saved himself, but also brought him to his side.
At first, he could say that Qin Zhen was such a person, but now that he had seen her actions so many times, this explanation could no longer satisfy him. She would only save these mortals, and then she would stop caring about them.
Ye Yousheng was eager to know the answer, he wanted to hear Qin Hao say in person that he was special. This special doesn't change because of who he is, but only because he is who he is.
Qin Hao's gaze looked into his eyes, and under Ye Yousheng's nervous expression, she finally said softly: "I just imagined that if you were like them, I wouldn't be so good to you...... I think so, you are Ah Sheng, such a reason is enough. ”
Before Ye Yousheng could be happy, he heard Qin Hao continue: "Even if you are a mortal, I will let my father take you as a junior brother, so you don't have to worry about this." ”
Ye Yousheng opened his mouth weakly, but he had indeed gotten the answer he wanted. But why, I still feel so lost? What exactly did he want to answer?
Qin Zhen held his hand and said softly, "Ah Sheng wants Senior Sister to be good to them, right?" If this is what Ah Sheng wants to see, Senior Sister can try it once. But you have to promise Senior Sister that if the result this time is the same as last time, you won't bring up this topic again in the future. ”
Ye Yousheng looked at Qin Hao holding his hand blankly, came back to his senses for a while, and nodded hurriedly: "Okay!" I will definitely help my sister explain it clearly, and let them thank you! ”
He went to see Heng Mingzhi again: "There is also Heng Mingzhi!" Together, we can change their minds! ”
Heng Mingzhi said helplessly: "Okay, okay, this will finally think of me." But it's better not to be too optimistic, every time I go out, I hide my identity as a monk, so that the villagers can get along with me normally. ”
But now Ye Yousheng is full of fighting spirit.
He decided that this was a turning point in Qin Hao's previous life, and as long as he eliminated every turning point, then he could change Qin Hao's ending.
She should not be hated by the people.
