Chapter 53: Killing the Innocent

Along the way, the old man talked to the two dolls as he walked, "You two little dolls, don't worry, stay in my home for the time being, and I will find a way to find and inquire about the whereabouts of your family."

If God opens my eyes and allows me to find your relatives, it will not be too late to leave after you are reunited. ”

The old man's heart-warming words made Xue Ning and Zimo burst into tears with excitement.

Xue Ning was even more emotional, glad that she was lucky, and when she first entered the rivers and lakes, she quickly met a good person.

That night, the two little dolls had nowhere to take refuge, so they had to follow the old man to the place where the old man lived.

The old man's dwelling was in a dilapidated neighborhood, with a few thatched houses, forming a weather-beaten home, which looked crooked and dilapidated.

His family has an elderly mother, a grandchild waiting to be fed, and a clumsy wife who is thin to a handful of bones.

Xue Ning followed the old man back to the shabby home, and immediately attracted a ruthless meal from the old woman.

"Old immortal, our family, we haven't had a meal, you can be good, where did you pick up two little dolls for me, one is still lame, aren't you forcing us to find a way to die?"

The old man slowly put Zimo on the ground, let him sit on a lame small wooden stool to rest, and began to patiently enlighten his wife.

"What do you know, what do you know? I picked up the life-saving benefactor of our whole family, look at what I brought back?" the old man finished speaking, and proudly took out a large bag of herbs from his body.

"Look, the medicine to cure the disease and save my life has been bought, old woman, don't underestimate this little doll, these life-saving medicine money was given to me by this little doll, she is the benefactor and savior of our family. After the old man finished speaking, he triumphantly took out all the remaining silver coins from his bosom and arranged them on the table in a conspicuous manner.

As soon as the old man and the old woman in the house saw the money, their eyes immediately lit up, and they exclaimed excitedly, "God, this is incredible, so much silver, enough for our whole family to live well for a while, our family is saved." ”

The old woman looked at the silver money, as if she was looking at the happy situation of tomorrow, she was overjoyed and grateful, and pulled Xue Ning to her side, looking up and down, left and right, and carefully said, "Little girl, I can't imagine that you are so warm and helpful at such a young age, sit down and rest." ”

After speaking, the old woman affectionately took Xue Ning's silky white little hand and asked her to sit side by side with her.

At this moment, the old man's son came back from outside, and when he saw the pile of silver scattered on the table, he was immediately overjoyed and wanted to snatch the money.

Thanks to the old man's quick hand, he quickly copied the silver, took it all in his hand, and put it in the blanket on his chest.

Xue Ning and Zimo hurriedly looked at the old man's son who returned that night, only to see that this person was in his twenties, not tall, with a dark and thin face, long hair, deep eye sockets, and a pair of eyes that were as dull as dead fish.

He was obviously a young man, but when he walked, he looked cowering, trembling, and his body was like a willow swinging in the wind, uncontrollable.

This young man looked like a long-term sick person, and sure enough, soon, Xue Ning heard the coughing sound of the old man's son.

"Ahem, old immortal, you don't give your son flowers with so much silver, are you going to buy a coffin when you die?" The old man was annoyed and angry when he said this, and he raised his slap high in anger, as if he wanted to slap the rebel hard, but in the end, he lowered his hand weakly.

"Forget it, don't worry about the child, we owe him, he just said a word of anger. If the child had so much money when he first fell ill, how could he let his illness drag on to such a situation?" the old woman advised.

The old man blushed, endured the rising anger, and said to his son, "I have bought back the medicine, which can cure your illness, and I will let your mother decoction the medicine later." ”

The old man's son did not appreciate it, and he slipped out of the house again with a curse and a whisper, and plunged headlong into another dilapidated thatched house in the courtyard.

This night, Xue Ning and Zimo had nowhere to stay, so they lived in this poor family.

It's just that the two little dolls who were lying on the kitchen door panel for the night could never have imagined that such a terrifying thing would happen in this shabby family's house on this night.

Xue Ning has been pampered since she was a child, and she can't get used to living in this broken thatched house that is ventilated on all sides, let alone sleeping on this cold and hard broken door panel, so when she lies alone on this narrow door panel, she can't sleep over and over, as long as she closes her eyes, all that appears in her mind are the kind smile of her mother and the pet of the fox demon father, and the cute frolicking voices of several sisters.

In the dark night, she could only hear the wind blowing outside, thinking about the snow of the beautiful past, she couldn't help but feel sad, her heart was sour and painful, curled up on the narrow door, her heart was like a needle prick, I don't know when, there were silent tears slipping from her eyes, quietly flowing like a river on her cheeks.

Xue Ning, who was in pain and helpless, prayed in her heart that the fox demon father and a few sisters could be auspicious, and they could reunite with herself and Zimo as soon as possible, but how difficult was this?

And Zi Mo, who was sleeping on the side, felt so good in his heart, his leg was injured and the pain was abnormal, although he was coated with ointment from the human race, it was not a holy medicine for the diseases of the fox race after all. At this moment, he misses his unfortunate mother-in-law, who is ingenious, and will always pick herbs in the mountain stream by himself to make all kinds of healing medicines, and still remembers that when he was a child, he accidentally fell from a high place and injured his knee, which was the ointment that his mother applied for herself.

The ointment smelled a little grassy, cool, fragrant, and applied to the injured area, refreshing and very comfortable. After just rubbing it for a while, I felt that the affected area was no longer painful, but right now, the injured place was still faintly painful, just like the broken heart after witnessing the murder of my family, which was difficult to heal.

Just when Xue Ning and Zi Mo were struggling and unable to sleep, a slight ringing sound sounded in their ears.

This night, because the beds were not enough, the kind father simply picked up the two doors and used them as beds for the two children to sleep, so at night, the door of the lying family was open.

Xue Ning and Zi Mo heard the voice, from the broken thatched house next door, based on what they saw and heard at night, Xue Ning knew that it was the old man's son who lived there.

Although they couldn't sleep, but at this time they heard the sound of someone getting up and tiptoeing around in the dark, Xue Ning and Zimo still had to pretend to sleep very sweetly, and the two of them hurriedly closed their eyes, but in private they were paying attention to the movements of the old man's son.

A minute later, the old man's son opened the door of his room lightly, and walked out, Xue Ning thought that this person was going to the thatched house for convenience, but he didn't think about it, but he quietly came to the hall where his father lived.

Xue Ning and Zimo were puzzled in their hearts, but they thought that the old man's son and the old man were inseparable from each other, and it should be reasonable to come to the hall to find the old man at night.

But unexpectedly, when the old man's son quietly stepped into the door, only a few seconds later, there was a hoarse cry for help and a painful and angry voice.

"Help...... You're a big rebel...... Inverse... Rebel!"

Something happened, Xue Ning and Zimo hurriedly got up and ran towards the room where their father slept.

The scene in front of him frightened the two young fox demons, only to see the old man lying on the bed, tilting his body, the old man had a shiny dagger-like thing stuck in his chest, and blood was gushing from the wound.

The old man covered his chest, and after reprimanding the rebel, he was already weak and speechless.

At this moment, his beastly son was indifferent, rummaging around in the dilapidated house in search of something.

The old man's wife, deaf and dazzled, was not awakened in the slightest, and the old man's wife fell out of bed in fright because of the old man's screaming just now.

When he found out that his husband had been killed, he screamed, "Murder! Murder!"

The old man's son, in a panicked search, finally touched the remaining silver taels from a ragged blanket near the old man's bedside, and suddenly, he smiled happily, and he didn't care about his father's life or death, and strode out of the room.

Zi Mo, who almost witnessed the murder with his own eyes, how could he let the murderer escape, he immediately stretched out his arms to block the way of the old man's son, while Xue Ning hurriedly came to his father and checked the old man's injuries.

Dad was seriously injured, and the snow-bright murder weapon, cold to the bone, as sharp as a knife, had already stabbed Daddy in the chest with a big hole, at this moment, the old man was angry like a gossamer, and he was about to lose his soul.

Xue Ning is kind by nature, how can she be willing to give up lightly to save her benefactor's life.

In a panic, she couldn't avoid everyone, so she hurriedly used the method taught to her mother to treat her and save people.

She released several percent of the spiritual power from her body, and used her hands to instantly transmit the spiritual power into the old man's body.

But helplessly, the old man was too seriously injured, and he could only barely hold on for a while after being rescued by Xue Ning, he gasped for breath and said regretfully, "Child, I can't help you..... Unexpectedly, your kindness is ......" After speaking, he spat out a mouthful of blood, fell to one side, unconscious, and followed closely, and died.

At this moment, the old man's son, who witnessed Xue Ning saving people, saw that in the dark room, a bright light flashed, entered his father's chest, and stopped the bleeding, but he did not save his father's life, and he immediately came out with a poisonous plan.
