Tan Qi still knew the old man's temperament, so he didn't care much about him saying this, but Su Qin and Qingmeng were very surprised, thinking that this old man always acted unexpectedly.

Tan Qi said coldly: "It's just a thousand taels of silver, I think Shaojun can still afford it, so you don't have to worry, old man." ”

When Gu Jian saw him call himself an old man, he didn't even get angry, he couldn't see it with a smile when he heard that he was rich. And Jielan and Chengfeng each took the pill, and sure enough, they felt a cold feeling in their bodies spreading towards their limbs, and the fire poison left by the flame demon in their bodies was gradually forced out of their bodies by the pills, and suddenly Jielan felt that her body was extremely useful and much more comfortable.

Several people used their luck to heal their injuries for about two hours, during which the seriously injured people who could not heal themselves turned to the old man for help, and the bone sword unceremoniously asked everyone for silver, of course, it was all recorded on Tan Qi's head in the end, and he felt that Tan Qi was like a creditor, which made him smile bitterly.

After waiting for her injuries to heal, Jielan asked Bone Sword, "Why did you come to Flame Demon Mountain?" ”

Bone Sword scratched his head and said, "Of course it's to take the treasure, do you know that this flame demon's fire is the best to use to become the fire of flame refining, old man, I see such a good sword refining baby, how can I not come." ”

"Oh, I thought you came to help us, so I was wrong, but I'm still very grateful for saving us this time." Jielan's language was cold, but she was indeed grateful for this bone sword.

However, Jielan's words seemed to remind the bone sword, and he hurriedly said: "Ah, by the way, I did the math, I saved so many of your lives in that cave just now, one hundred taels of silver per person, you are in total, one, two, three, four..."

When everyone heard that he began to count the silver again, they all felt quite speechless, Tan Qi couldn't bear it anymore, and stepped forward, so he couldn't help but break up and hit the top of the bone sword's head, only to hit the bone sword's eyes with gold stars, "Now you don't see a lot of money directly." ”

The bone sword was beaten by Tan Qi, and it really settled a lot, and he didn't dare to think about the money anymore, and Jielan said: "After we rest for a while, we will leave to return to the city court, and I don't know how Shaojun is doing on their side?" ”

Jielan looked at the blue devil behind her, she walked over, gently stroked the child's long cyan hair, and said gently: "We have met before, do you remember?" ”

The blue devil looked at Jielan blankly, her eyes were godless and empty, like a child who had lost his heart, and could no longer feel anyone's warmth. Jielan thought that the green devil must have been tortured all these years to cause him to become like this, Jielan thought of this, she felt extremely sad, she held the green devil in her arms, gently stroked her back, and said: "Don't worry, from now on, with us by your side, you will never be hurt at all, you know?" ”

The blue devil was lying in Jielan's arms, feeling Jielan's temperature, as if touching his heart, he whispered, "Mom! ”

This sentence made Jielan a little stunned, she didn't know why the Blue Devil called herself like this, but she thought it might be because he had always thought that he was tortured and lacked love! Jielan smiled slightly, stroked the blue devil's long slender hair, and said, "What do you think now?" Is there anything wrong with it? If there's something uncomfortable, you have to tell me, you know? ”

The blue devil slowly raised his head and looked at the woman in front of him, perhaps because he hadn't heard such caring words for too long, so he was a little stunned, as if he had misheard, "Where is this?" Where are we going? Don't you stay in that cave? ”

Jielan thought about what kind of pain this child had endured to be so afraid of the cave, so that her body trembled when she spoke, "Well, don't stay there, I'll take you back to the city, can you say okay?" ”

As soon as the green devil heard that he was going back to the city, his face immediately turned pale, his whole body trembled violently, and his pupils continued to dilate because of excessive fear and fright, and it took him a long time before he desperately shouted, "I won't go back, I won't go back, there are man-eating monsters there, I won't go." He shouted as he fled out of the cave, as if he were so terrified of the city that even hearing the name made him unable to calm down.

Jielan didn't expect his reaction to be so big, she was so busy pulling the green devil who wanted to run away, but the green devil used all her strength to get rid of Jielan, Jielan saw that she couldn't stop him, so she went over and hugged him into her arms again, and said with relief: "We won't go back, we won't go back, we won't go back to that ghost place, okay, don't be afraid, there is a sister, don't be afraid!" "I don't know why, Jielan and the Blue Devil have never met a few times, but seeing the Blue Devil in such pain, she seems to empathize with the pain and abnormality, and her eyes are moistened, maybe he makes himself feel so familiar, just like the shadow he has lost.

Under Jielan's comfort, the blue devil gradually calmed down, no longer struggling, no longer shouting, but the uneasiness and horror in his eyes still existed, "Really... Is it? Don't you really have to go back? ”

"Well, there's no need to go back, and I won't let those hateful people touch you again." Jielan held his head and soothed him, just like comforting his favorite shadow before.

When the green devil heard Jielan's words, he cried out loudly as if he had received amnesty, but the crisp cry hid his grief, as if decades of grievances were released at this moment.

Everyone in the cave was moved when they heard the green devil's sad cry, thinking that this little child must have suffered a lot, so he would become like this, and he would feel painful and wronged, why should people in the world treat a child like this? Even if he was a Blood Fiend, he was only a ten-year-old child!

Does human greed wear out human nature in this way? Is it necessary to deprive others of their happiness and life in order to satisfy their own desires? Why? Why is this human nature unchangeable?

No one can give an answer, only that everything is so desperate.

Mingqi leaned on the back of the green devil, hoping that he could also give him some comfort, the green devil cried for a long time, and gradually calmed down, maybe he was a little tired from crying, so he fell asleep again.

Although everyone was a little rushed to the world, they couldn't bear to let the blue devil run around overnight, and everyone was injured and needed to rest before they could go on the road, so no one proposed to rush back to the city.

Mingqi has always guarded the Blue Devil's side, staring at him lovingly, as if he is afraid of the other party as long as he blinks an eye.

Jielan sat next to Mingqi, combing her long messy hair with her fingers, and she said gently: "You've been by Qingqing's side since you were a child, haven't you?" ”

Mingqi has some recognition, but she has been protected by Jielan in the past few days, and now she has rescued Qing again, and she is very grateful to her in her heart, so there is not much rejection, she nodded, and said softly: "I have been by Qing's side since I was born, I grew up with him, I vowed to protect him well for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen to Qing, but I can't do anything, I'm really useless." ”

Jielan stroked her petite head and said, "No, look, didn't you find us, and now you have rescued Qing again?" It's just that why does Jin Qing keep calling out to his mother? Where is his mother? ”

When Ming Qi heard this, he immediately became sad again, "Qing is very pitiful, originally I lived with him in a small village in Qingliu Town, we grew up together, and we had a very happy life, but gradually Qing's ability to save people who were about to die was spread, and later the people in the city court knew, they sent someone to take Qing away, Qing was unwilling, so they forced Qing's mother to go to the city, Qing had no choice but to follow, after arriving at the city, they were very good to us at first, But later, the city court forced Qing to treat him, if Qing didn't comply, he would torture his mother in front of Qing, Qing had to obey his will, and later, the city lord wanted Qing to give him his own blood to drink every day, as long as Qing resisted a little, he would beat his mother, so Qing didn't dare to resist at all, he was so pitiful, why did these people treat him like this, what was wrong with Qing, what was wrong with Aunt Xiuxin, why did she torture her like this? Mingqi also burst into tears when he spoke, it seemed that several of them had suffered a lot, so that their resentment was so deep.

After hearing this, Jielan thought of her fate, and thought that she was actually the same as the Blue Devil, because she was a blood demon, she had affected her mother and the people in the village, and she had lived a wandering life since then, but even so, she had to live, because she couldn't forgive the person who had committed these crimes, she had to avenge her mother and the villagers, so that she could let go of the responsibilities on her shoulders and live her life with peace of mind.

Jielan held Mingqi's hand and said, "Where is Qingqing's mother now?" ”

Ming Qi shook his head and said, "I have been imprisoned in a ruined palace by that city lord, so I don't know where Aunt Xiuxin is, but Aunt Xiuxin must be the same as me, imprisoned by that city lord, sister, you must rescue Aunt Xiuxin, otherwise, otherwise he will fall into the devil because of Aunt Xiuxin, you must rescue Aunt Xiuxin!" Please! ”

Jielan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to rescue her, and everyone here will also help you and Jinqing rescue his mother, so you don't have to worry, you know?" ”

Mingqi nodded, and suddenly the cave fell silent. When Jielan and Mingqi were talking, everyone still felt that there was nothing, but as soon as it quieted down, everyone felt very embarrassed, especially between Chengfeng, Qingmeng, and Jielan.

Thinking of the dialogue between Qingmeng and Chengfeng in the tunnel, Jielan is still red-faced, both a little moved but also a little frightened, she knows Qingmeng's deep affection for Chengfeng, but Chengfeng said that he is interested in her, whether he is sincere or deliberately angry with Qingmeng, which is very embarrassing for Jielan, and it also makes her unable to face Qingmeng, as if she stole something that should belong to her.

Qingmeng also felt this suffocating atmosphere, she saw that the rain outside had stopped, and the sky had not darkened, thinking that there was no need for her to stay, so she got up and said, "Since you have nothing to do, and I have no need to stay, I will say goodbye here and leave first." ”

Seeing that Qingmeng was leaving, Chengfeng asked, "Do you really want to leave?" ”
