Chapter Eighty-Three: Helpless
The sunset is in the valley, and the moon and stars are scarce.
That night, Lin Xixue's consciousness gradually woke up, and the meridians under the skin of her arm seemed to be poured into molten iron, emitting a blazing red light.
Xu Zhiyi lay quietly on the side, her whole body exuding a soft golden light, her breathing and pulse were stable, and there were no skin injuries, but no matter how she tried, Xu Zhiyi did not give any response.
Bai Qing fell to her knees in the middle of the square not far away, motionless, as if petrified.
Lin Xixue staggered towards her, and didn't know what to say, so she had to sit beside her silently and accompany her quietly.
The two of them remained silent.
I don't know how long it took for Bai Qing to finally speak.
"Do you know what is Chidi Qianli, Yi Zi and eats?"
Lin Xixue glanced at her and didn't speak, but she didn't seem to care about Lin Xixue's reaction, and just continued to talk to herself.
"When I was a child, there was a famine in the village, and my family of four went out to flee. A lot of my memories have been blurred, I just remember that I had to walk a long, long way every day, the leaves were bitter, the grass roots were sour and astringent, and I was hungry every day. β
"Then one day, my brother was so hungry that he couldn't stand it, and he couldn't walk anyway, so my father and mother muttered a few words behind the shed erected by rags, and then, of course, in the evening, my mother brought back a pot of meat."
"The meat is boiled in white water, but it is very fragrant, I really haven't eaten meat for a long time, and my mother, who has always been partial to my younger brother, actually fished a few more pieces of meat for me, I was still young at the time, and I didn't know why."
"It wasn't until the next day, when my mother took me all the way to another homeless family's shed, that I knew why. When I saw the sharpened knife, I suddenly understood everything, what I had eaten the night before. β
"I threw up, I couldn't stop vomiting, and after my mother threw me down, I couldn't bear it, but she still left. The homeless family recited some unorthodox revelations in their mouths, and then raised their sharp knives. β
"You know, I thought at the time that people were no different from livestock before they died."
"And then?"
Bai Qing told calmly, and Lin Xixue also asked calmly.
"Then, just like the clichΓ© in the book, the hero saves the beauty, the senior brother appeared, she rescued me and took me back to Qingyu Mountain."
"Although I worship under the master, he takes a lot of care of me on weekdays, and often instructs me to practice, make talismans, and alchemy."
"That's why you have a secret affection for him."
"It's not a secret birth, three years after I started, I made my heart clear to him, but he only regarded me as a sister. But at that time, I thought that if I could accompany him as my brother's sister for the rest of my life, even if I couldn't get anything in the end, I would be willing. β
"If he has a beloved woman in the future, can you really let it go?"
"I may be unwilling, but I understand, if I don't like it, I don't like it, he really just spoils me as a sister." Bai Qing smiled sadly, and she didn't know what she was laughing at.
"And then, how did he get impregnated with evil spirits?"
"Later...... When one of the disciples was out to practice, there was suddenly no news, so the master sent his brother to investigate. β
"But he went anyway."
"Yes, my senior brother comforted me, saying that he went out to practice hundreds of times, and each time he was able to complete the task perfectly, and this time he still had a thousand miles of no trace charm from the master, and he would definitely return safely."
Although Lin Xixue felt that it was inappropriate to say such things on such a sad occasion, the complaining attribute in her heart really couldn't be suppressed - this flag was too standard!
"So he finally came back, but unfortunately he was impregnated with evil energy."
"Yes, when he came back, he was already crazy, and after reporting the information found on this trip to the master, it was convenient for Houshan Xuantong."
"What do you mean by Xuantong?" Lin Xixue was puzzled.
"Gouging out his eyes, poking his ears, cutting off his tongue, sealing his five senses, and then imprisoning himself in the forbidden land of the back mountain for life."
"Isn't that the living dead? Why not give it a treat? Lin Xixue frowned.
"I don't know, that's how the door rules are set." But then she felt a little funny, Qingyu Mountain was gone, and she still said what the door rules were.
She was silent for a moment, then cried and laughed and said, "I really regret it, you obviously told me that there was something wrong with the clouds, why didn't I believe you, I hurt everyone, I hurt my senior brother......"
She cried breathlessly, her voice became smaller and smaller, her hands clenched, and she hammered the broken jade bricks a few times, and the blood splashed everywhere.
"It's gone, I have nothing, the master is gone, the master is gone, the senior brother is gone, since I want to lose all this, why do I have to have ......"
At this point, she suddenly felt sad, and suddenly pulled out the Liuxia Sword and slashed at her neck.
The incident happened suddenly, Lin Xixue barely had time to react, and subconsciously reached out and grabbed the spirit sword.
But the moment her hand touched the spirit sword, she realized that how could this spirit sword be touched with her hand, but at this time, the action was already ahead of consciousness, and she held the sword body tightly.
She thought that her fingers were completely lost, but the next moment, the thunder arc in her palm flashed, and she actually resisted the sharpness of the Liuxia Sword.
Before she had time to think about what the situation was, she snatched the spirit sword and threw it aside, and then slapped Bai Qing hard with her other hand.
The corners of Bai Qing's mouth were bleeding, she was stunned at first, and then she cried like a child.
"Wow...... I don't have a home anymore, and the person who was best to me is gone, so what's the point of my life, it's all because I didn't believe in you. β
She hugged Bai Qing, although she was about to cry herself, she still restrained her emotions and comforted Bai Qing: "I don't blame you...... Don't blame you......"
"I didn't just tell you that there was a problem with the clouds, I had already told everyone present that there was a problem with the clouds, not to mention others, your master Yihuai Zhenren also heard it, and they didn't believe it."
"You survived precisely because you are the only one willing to believe in me, otherwise you would have been pulled away by that unknown force like everyone else."
"So, I don't blame you......" Lin Xixue sniffed.
"But, but I don't have a home anymore, my father doesn't want me anymore, I thought Qingyu Mountain could become my safe place, but now Qingyu Mountain is gone, and the senior brother who loves me has also been taken away, Xiaoxue, where should I go, I don't have a home anymore!"
Hearing this somewhat intimate Xiaoxue, Lin Xixue's heart suddenly trembled, she looked at the bright moon in the sky, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "That's right, I don't have a home, since everyone doesn't have a home, let's build a home for ourselves!" β
"Build a home?" Bai Qing stopped crying, but her eyes were still a little ignorant.
Lin Xixue's eyes became more and more discerning, and she said categorically: "Yes, build a home for all the people in the world who have no place to return, those who are wandering and helpless!" β
