Chapter 15, Hotaru
The next day, when the sun shines through the rain clouds, the sky finally returns to its original clarity.
"Qin Ye, she's awake, do you want to take a look at her?" At the same time as the sky cleared, Yu Ziyan also came to Qin Ye's side and said.
"Really? That's great. Qin Ye said happily.
"She's in a bit ······ right now, though." Yu Ziyan said a little bit and stopped.
"I understand, I'll go and take a look. ”
Qin Ye can naturally understand what it would be like for such a young girl to survive a month alone in the beast tide, it can be said that she is not crazy is already very good, after all, in that kind of situation that will be eaten by the terrible sea beast at any time, even the spirit of many adults will collapse, let alone a little girl?
When she came to the little girl, Qin Ye could see that her eyes were dilated, and it was obvious that the whole person's spirit was in a very confused state, and Situ Yuxin had been talking to her, but the little girl didn't react at all.
"How is it, have you asked something?" looked at Situ Yu Xin Qin Ye and tried to ask.
Situ Yuxin shook her head and said helplessly: "No, her spirit has been stimulated too much, and she can't open her heart to us at all, I really don't know what to do if it goes on like this." ”
"Then I'll give it a try. ”
I saw Qin Ye squatting next to the girl, looking at her and trying to ask, "Little sister, my brother asks you, what is your name, what is your father and mother?"
Originally, Qin Ye didn't expect the girl to answer her question, after all, if it was really that easy, Situ Yuxin and Yu Ziyan wouldn't even be able to ask each other's names.
But what Qin Ye didn't expect was that when he just finished speaking, the girl spoke.
"Brother, brother, he was eaten, and his father was eaten, ah······ I ······ Hmm, what should I do? ”
"Alright, alright, now it's okay, you're okay. Situ Yuxin saw that the girl's spirit began to be unstable, so she hurriedly comforted and said.
Looking at the fear that appeared in the little girl's eyes at this time, Qin Ye was really distressed, but there was nothing she could do, this world was originally like this, humans eat beasts, and beasts naturally could not let humans go if they had the opportunity.
No one can tell who is right and who is wrong in this kind of thing, only that the laws of nature are like this, and it is precisely because of this that human beings have come up with this method of cultivation to improve their own strength, so as to survive in this cruel world.
"No, Mother, Mother is still waiting for me to go back, and I must go back to save her. At this moment, the girl said out loud unexpectedly.
"Hey, Yu Xin quickly asked, maybe her mother is still alive. Qin Ye said with some surprise.
Soon, under the questioning of Yu Xin and Ziyan, we really learned that the little girl's mother might really be alive, because their family escaped from the city after the disaster, and in the end, maybe because of luck, they found a cave with a very small entrance on a mountain, and with the special environment there, they really managed to survive for a long time.
But they had to leave the cave in search of food, and because of this his father died, and finally her mother fell ill, and her brother had to take her out with him in search of food and herbs.
Not long ago, her brother was also eaten by a sea beast in front of her, and because of this, she was a little frightened.
"Let's go see Hotaru's mother at night, I think she is likely to be saved. Situ Yuxin looked at Xiao Ying, who was trembling in her arms, and said a little unbearable in her heart.
"Of course we'll go, anyway, we're here to hunt sea beasts, and it's the same to hunt there. Qin Ye said with a serious face.
Maybe when he first heard about the beast tide, Qin Ye's emotion in his heart was not so heavy, after all, when he was in the dark domain, he had also encountered the dark beast tide launched against him by the Black Death Eye.
But at that time, the most people who died were some monks, in Qin Ye's opinion, monks were originally fighting for their lives with heaven and earth, and the reason why people like them went to the dark realm was precisely because they understood the danger there, and life and death were already expected in their eyes.
But the little Hotaru in front of her was different, she was an ordinary person, an ordinary girl, but she had to face such a terrible disaster, and the human monks' reaction was indeed too slow, and it took them a month to form a crusade against the sea beasts.
For such a long time, not to mention the ordinary people who were originally on Wuyin Island, even a monk should be almost dead at this time.
"Ziyan, can I ask if you know how many ordinary people escaped from Wuyin Island and how many stayed in this beast tide?" Qin Ye asked with a heavy tone.
After thinking for a while, Yu Ziyan said helplessly: "I don't know, after all, you yourself in the monk world also understand that we never count the number of ordinary people. ”
In fact, Qin Ye is also very clear about this, what ordinary people do is actually to use the number to provide enough cultivators for the monk sect, after all, real monks rarely choose to produce the next generation, after all, their time for cultivation is already very insufficient, so will they have time to take care of children? Even if there are a few people like Qin Ye's parents, the time they choose to give birth to the next generation is often after they are sixty or seventy years old, or even hundreds of years old, because at that time, their cultivation speed will really stop, and they can naturally focus on their children when they can't improve their cultivation.
And by the time they choose to have a generation of children, ordinary people can already be grandfathers, on the other hand, the path of cultivation is not as good as the class that ordinary people imagine, on the contrary, the world of monks is a very cruel world, every day there will be people who die in order to obtain a little cultivation resources, so under the mutual consumption of low productivity and high mortality, the strong base of ordinary people has become the backing of the monk world.
Although most of the cultivation talents born by ordinary people are very low, as long as there is one in a thousand, even if one in ten thousand people meets the requirements, it is enough to make up for the risk of a shortage of monks.
After all, those ordinary monks will choose to have offspring faster than some genius monks, and in this process, generation after generation changes, and their descendants are also likely to have powerful geniuses.
Therefore, for the monk world, ordinary people are important or unimportant, monks cannot let ordinary people die completely, but they will not manage the life and death of ordinary people too much.
In this way, there will naturally be a beast tide like this time, obviously a large number of human beings have died, but the high-level only sent people to remove the reason after a month, and more importantly, these people are only here to deal with the sea beast tide, whether there are people alive who need to be rescued They have never cared, so from the beginning, Qin Yezhi got only one order, that is, let them destroy the beast tide instead of saving people.
It was precisely because of this that Situ Yuxin would subconsciously ask him about a very simple matter.
"Let's go, let's go and save Hotaru's mother, and then let's see if there are any people alive in the nearby city, and if so, find a way to save them, and if not, clear an area where they can live safely. Qin Ye said very uncontrollably.
In this way, the four of them came all the way to the foot of a mountain under the guidance of Hotaru, and in a pile of low bushes, we saw a small cave only about one meter high, which was obviously made by some kind of small beast, and this time it happened to be occupied by Hotaru's family.
For the sake of safety, Qin Ye naturally walked first, but soon Qin Ye stopped.
His stop almost caused Situ Yuxin, who was following him, to hit his buttocks, after all, the cave was too low and they could only enter it in a half-squat, so their speed would inevitably be affected somewhat.
"Qin Ye, why are you stopping!" Situ Yuxin asked very unhappily.
"I see it's too dark here, and the road is not easy to walk, Ziyan, can you take Hotaru outside and wait for us for a while? Qin Ye didn't pay attention to Situ Yuxin, but frowned and said to Ziyan behind him.
After hearing Qin Ye's words, Ziyan instinctively checked the surrounding situation, and soon she herself also discovered the problem, that is, on the way in, there were obviously some footprints of wild beasts, coupled with the faint smell of blood in the air, she knew that things were not as optimistic as they thought.
"Hotaru, can you and your sister wait outside first, brother and sister, they'll take your mother out soon. Purple Smoke began to scream.
But what Ziyan didn't expect was that after listening to her words, Xiao Hotaru didn't listen to her words, but her whole face became extremely pale and shouted: "No, you lied to me, mother, mother, she must have had an accident." ”
Xiao Hotaru violently pushed away the purple smoke and rushed directly into the cave, and although this cave was short, it did not hinder her movement, after all, her body was still very small, so while pushing away the purple smoke, she quickly passed past Situ Yuxin.
Fortunately, Qin Ye's reaction was fast enough to stop her, but at this moment, a bloody mouth also rushed out of the cave and bit directly at Qin Ye and Xiao Hotaru in his arms.
In order to protect Hotaru, Qin Ye could only raise his left hand to stop the other party, but his body was not a body of steel after all, and under the giant teeth of the digger, Qin Ye was directly bitten off a large piece of meat.
"Stand back. Enduring the pain, Qin Ye shouted at Hotaru a little angrily.
And Xiao Ying was still stunned, and she didn't know what was going on, but fortunately, Situ Yuxin reacted in time and pulled Xiao Ying behind her.
