27. Peak loop turn
Xiao Que's arm still maintained a forward momentum, but he could no longer move forward for half a minute, as if he had been firmly clamped by someone with iron tongs, and he hung there in a daze, unable to move.
He looked at the little girl in front of him in astonishment, confused, doubtful, and confused...... All kinds of negative emotions alternately appeared on Xiao Que's face.
Xiao Que he can't figure it out!
Why did his little sister defend a strange old man with blood-stained hands like this?
Even at the risk of his own life.
But the little girl in front of her was not afraid, and looked at Xiao Que, her eyes were clear and transparent, like a black jewel.
"Brother, don't kill this old man. "
The little girl tilted her head and pleaded word by word, her eyes full of sorrow and supplication.
"He's a good guy and has no bad intentions. "
Hearing this, Xiao Que's gaze suddenly became complicated, he pursed his lips tightly, stared at his sister, and finally let go of his hand holding the wooden stick in a dejected manner, and collapsed to the ground weakly.
He didn't know why his sister was here, or why he stopped him from killing the weird old man, but he knew that his sister would never lie. Since my sister said so, she must have her own reasons.
In that case, let's listen to what she has to say.
At this time, the strange old man also came back to his senses, remembering that he had just passed by death, and he kept trembling.
He raised his hand and patted his chest, forcibly calmed his mood, and gasped and said:
"Girl, I'm scared to death of the old man, but fortunately you arrived in time. "
After saying that, he turned his head to look at Xiao Que, his face was full of doubt and horror and said:
"Little brother! "
"Why did you kill me?! "
The reaction of the old man at this time is clearly the same as that of ordinary people, how can he be a gangster with blood on his hands?
Did I misunderstand this old man?
But how could ordinary people hold blood-stained kitchen knives and muttered incomprehensible words like "I'm waiting for you" in their mouths.
Xiao Que had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but he was still silent, just quietly looking at his little sister, waiting for her answer.
At this time, the surging emotions in the little girl's heart could no longer be controlled.
She wept and twitched, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say a word.
After a while, the little girl's crying gradually subsided, and then, she slowly raised her head, looked at her brother, shook her head slightly, and said in a choked voice,
"Brother! "
"It was this old man who saved me. "
Xiao Que's heart contracted violently when he heard this, his breathing became rapid, his eyes stared at the girl with burning eyes, and he asked in a hoarse voice:
"I just want to know what the hell is going on. "
Perhaps realizing that his tone was a little irritable, Xiao Que took a deep breath again, suppressed the fluctuations in his heart, tried his best to make his tone appear gentle, and asked softly:
"Little sister, what happened after I left? "
The little girl looked at her brother, her eyes were red, the corners of her mouth trembled slightly, and she said as if she had mustered up courage:
"Brother, after you left that day, an old man came with a large group of homeless people and wanted to steal our food. We were powerless to resist, and the result was ...... "
In the end, the little girl couldn't say anything anymore at all, only a whimpering sob, and the whole person curled up on the ground.
At this time, Xiao Que also guessed a little eyebrow, he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, snorted coldly in a low voice, and then stood up suddenly, pulled the little girl into his arms, and comforted:
"Silly girl, don't cry, brother is here. "
His words did not bring the slightest comfort to the little girl, on the contrary, she cried even harder, as if she had found support, and buried her little head in his chest, not wanting to look at the outside world again, perhaps because she was afraid of seeing the villains again.
At this time, the old man next to him also said with a guilty face:
"Little brother, I am also to blame for this matter, I did not persuade the evil beast, which led to a tragedy, alas...... I'm sorry. "
He let out a long sigh and continued:
"My companion, after accepting the little brother's food, had bad intentions, and followed all the way, and when he saw that the little brother returned empty-handed, he guessed that the food was placed at the little sister's house, and then gathered a group of outlaws in an attempt to seize the food. "
Speaking of this, he said with a painful face:
"I didn't think that evil beast would be so bold, but I didn't expect him to even care about human integrity! "
"When I arrived, it was already late, and I could only forcibly save Sister Ling with a knife, and the other children also scattered and fled, and I don't know where to go. "
The more the old man spoke, the more excited he became, and even his cloudy eyes flickered with crystal, as if he had fallen into an extremely painful memory.
Hearing this, Xiao Que finally understood the current situation.
The two old men who were rescued by Xiao Lack disagreed.
One person was greedy, led a group of outlaws, and started to loot, and the other had good intentions and protected his little sister, waiting for him to come back silently.
And the old man in front of him is the one with good thoughts.
"Uh...... "
Xiao Que just wanted to say something, but looking at the old man's right hand covered with strips of cloth, stained with blood, which was the trace of fighting with the gangsters, how could he blame this old man?
Besides, this time it is indeed his own reckless impulsiveness, if it weren't for this old man sacrificing his life to protect his little sister, otherwise what would have happened, Xiao Que didn't dare to imagine it!
"Old man, sit down for a while. "
Xiao Que's heart softened, he patted the old man's back, and said with relief:
"Today's things are all because the juniors are too careless, so that the gangsters are murderous, you don't have to mind too much, the old man, I will definitely not let them go. "
Hearing this, the old man bowed his head.
"The little brother is kind-hearted and admired. "
Then, he limped to the wooden bench beside Xiao Que and sat down, while Xiao Que squatted down and re-bandaged the blood-soaked wound for the old man.
This kind of thing, Xiao Que has already done it very skillfully, almost hand-to-hand, more than ten years of wandering career, and the bandaging of large and small wounds has long been countless, so he bandaged it very quickly.
In a short time, the original hideous and terrifying wound was bandaged again, and although it looked terrifying, it was much better, and no longer oozing a trace of blood.
After doing all this, Xiao Que stood up.
"Old man, your wound needs to be taken care of, and do not touch the water, otherwise the wound will be infected, and it will be life-threatening. "
Xiao Que admonished.
And the girl, who had been sitting next to her silently, also spoke at this time:
"Grandpa, you better go back to the house and rest, it's enough for me to take care of my brother here. "
After listening to the words of the two, the old man was not hypocritical, and limped towards the door, and when he was about to go out, he suddenly turned his head and said earnestly to Xiao Que and the little girl:
"Little brother, you don't have to worry about those children. "
"Although the thieves are frenzied, the children have long since fled, and the only thing they have lost is food, and I think they should take refuge for the time being. "
After Xiao Que heard this, his heart suddenly felt a lot relieved, but he still asked with some concern:
"Old man, do you know where the children have gone? "
Hearing Xiao Que's inquiry, the old man showed a kind smile on his face and said:
"Little brother, don't worry, those little devils are very clever and can't be hungry for them. "
After speaking, the old man added with a smile:
"If you're lucky, you might even be adopted by Xuande Gong. "
"Xuande Gong?! "
Xiao Que couldn't believe his ears, and thought it was an auditory hallucination, so he asked repeatedly:
"Old man, did you just say Xuande Gong? "
