Mountains are stacked on top of each other, and you can't see the edge. When the sun is in the sky, every tree and grass under the scorching sun is becoming more and more quiet, and the bursts of cicadas make people feel even more restless.

At this time, it was noon, and Wangjia Village, which was located at the foot of Cangmu Mountain, did not see the smoke curling, but a dead silence and depression.

A dilapidated wooden house with an inconspicuous pestle is in the northernmost part of the village.

"Brother, how is she?"

"Squeak—"

The crumbling broken wooden door was pushed open, breaking the dead silence.

A little girl dressed in a wide gray and white cloth carefully walked in with a broken earthen bowl. Seeing that the original gray of the clothes she was wearing had been washed and turned white, and the size of the clothes was obviously not in keeping with the girl's figure, the girl became more and more thin. The delicate melon seed face was slightly yellow, and there was a hint of worry and anxiety in a pair of bright and clear apricot eyes.

"Girl, shhhh

A tall man strode out of the dimly lit room, and saw that he was also dressed in a white-washed cloth with a few more patches, but it could not hide the man's heroic spirit. Under the thick eyebrows, there are a pair of sword eyes, and the little girl is also anxious and uneasy.

"Uh, good!" The little girl hurriedly handed the earthen bowl in her hand to the eldest brother, turned around and looked left and right outside the house, and saw that there was no movement, so she tiptoed to close the wooden door quietly, and turned around and lowered her voice, "Brother, don't worry, I'm paying attention, no one will find it." ”

"Well, let's go, go see her in the inner room."

The curtain of the inner chamber was lifted, and the only thing in the dilapidated inner chamber was an old bed and a wooden stool and table. There were no windows in the room, only a candle on the table that provided a faint light.

There was a man lying flat on the old bed, and his face could not be seen clearly in the dim light.

"Brother, give me the medicine, I'll feed her. You've been watching her for a day and a night, go and rest. As she spoke, the little girl prepared to take the earthen bowl in the man's hand.

"Xiao'er, let's come on, you're tired this night, it's you who should rest." The man looked at his only relative in distress, and the perennial hunger made the originally cute and healthy little sister yellow and thin, and stunted. And the initiator of all this is helpless himself. Thinking of this, the man became more and more annoyed, "I'm sorry, sister, it's my brother who didn't take care of you." “

"Okay, brother, why did you mention this again. Can you be blamed for this? If it weren't for that starlight..."

"Shhh Don't worry about this girl, get out. The man waved his hand and ignored Xiao'er.

"Brother!" Xiao'er was dissatisfied, "I've had enough! ”

Seeing Xiao'er sitting on a wooden bench with a sad and angry face, he patted the case and said, "Do we have to endure it like this forever?" When is this a head? "The original delicate little face is really far from this pungent temperament.

"Bang-"

The earthen bowl was heavily placed on the table by the man, and the force was so strong that the medicine overflowed and scattered it on the man's hand and the wooden table.

"Do you think my brother is willing to give in?" Obviously, the man also became angry, "Our father and mother died at their hands, and I dreamed of how to kill them to avenge my father." ”

"But... They are gods, how can we be their opponents! As he spoke, the man's fists were clenched tightly, a pair of sword eyes flickered, and the man's anger could be seen in the exposed green tendons.

"God? Hehe..."Xiao'er sneered, "Brother, do you really believe it?" ”

The man didn't answer, just stared deeply at the little girl in front of him, who was growing up, thinking that the innocent little girl in the past had matured too early due to the catastrophe at home, and his eyes flashed with complicated thoughts, and he couldn't see what he meant.

I don't know how long it took for the man to speak slowly.

"Whether it's true or not, when we don't have the strength to defeat them, we can only wait for the opportunity."

"Timing! It's time again! When will we wait until the time comes! "After all, she is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, although she is more mature than her peers, but she can't hide the impulsiveness and childishness of young people, and she is still a little less hot.

"Alright, Xiao'er. Then you can stay and take care of the girl. The man shook his head helplessly, "I'll go outside and keep guard, in case the Starlight Messenger finds out, it will be troublesome." As he spoke, the man picked up the earthen bowl and handed it to Xiao'er, and told again, "When she wakes up, notify me immediately." ”

Looking at the back of her brother leaving in a daze, Xiao'er's heart was full of feelings.

Although Xiao'er has just reached Lu, she is a very sensible child. The tragic death of her parents did not knock the little girl down, but became stronger and stronger. and his only relative to rely on each other for his life, and his single-minded desire is to avenge his father's mother.

"Ahem-cough-ahem-"

"Huh?" A cough pulled Xiao'er's thoughts back, and when she turned around, she saw that the girl on the bed seemed to have traces of sobriety, and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Girl....girl...."

"Ahem—"

"Girl....wake up....wake up...."

"....water....water," the woman on the bed murmured in a faint voice.

"Okay girl, I'll pour you water right away." As she spoke, Xiao'er hurriedly put the medicine bowl on the table, took a cup on the table, poured a glass of white water, and sat on the edge of the bed in a panic, carefully raised the girl's head on the bed, and slowly poured the water into the girl's dry and cracked mouth. However, most of it flowed down his neck, and only a small half was drunk.

"Ahem—"

"Drink slowly, don't choke."

The girl on the bed seemed to have heard Xiao'er's kind reminder, nodded slightly, her eyelids moved slightly, and it seemed that she was about to wake up......
