Chapter 24: A Desperate Situation
Su Muqing stretched out his arms and gently hugged He Qiao into his arms.
This was the first time she took the initiative to hug He Qiao, although He Qiao was destined to not be able to feel it.
However, this hug is destined to be of great significance.
When Su Muqing held He Qiao in his arms, above the heads of the two of them, the meaning was scattered from the sky, turned into a little fluorescent, and fell on the two of them.
This meaning contains many, many things, such as the memories of He Qiao and Su Muqing's previous lives, as well as the obsessions of the two.
When all the intentions were scattered, Su Muqing suddenly felt that He Qiao's heart was beating a little, faintly, but it did beat a little.
She heard it clearly.
The next moment, her face changed, and she felt as if she had fallen into a very strange state.
Unconsciously, her expression began to become a little apprehensive, a little excited, and a touch of tenderness.
In the end, the tears slowly dripped down, but the corners of her mouth were slightly curved, revealing a stunning smile.
She saw many, many things, scenes after scenes, extremely clear, because they were directly engraved in her mind.
......
"Hey, there's a guy here. He Qiao snorted lightly and opened the bushes that were obviously obscured.
As he passed by, he noticed that the bush had clearly been moved, and with curiosity, he opened it and saw what was inside.
There, there was a girl who looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old.
The girl was dressed in tattered red, dirty, with mud on her hair and little face, and looked very pitiful.
Finding that someone had picked up the bushes, the girl subconsciously moved her body back, but her body was too weak to drag her arms at all, and she accidentally lay down there.
"Well, you're alright, I'm not a bad person. He Qiao showed a kind smile, walked to her side, handed over the water bladder he was carrying, and said, "Well, give you water." He had already discerned that the reason why the girl was so weak was because of her dehydrated body.
"What's your name, why are you hiding here, your family?" Seeing where the girl was struggling to take a sip of water, He Qiao squatted beside him and asked patiently.
The girl shook her head and said nothing.
"Hmm, then are you from Nine Spirit City?" He Qiao asked again.
The girl shook her head again in silence, still not speaking.
Seeing this, He Qiao didn't ask anymore, he didn't know if the girl didn't want to speak, or if she really couldn't speak, if it was the latter, it wouldn't be very beautiful.
After a long time, when the girl's face finally looked better, He Qiao gave the girl the dry food he was carrying, and asked her to eat a little to replenish the consumption of her body.
Half an hour passed, and the girl finally regained some strength, she raised her little face, looked at He Qiao, and whispered "thank you".
Hearing the girl thank her, He Qiao showed a smile, but this smile was a little inexplicable, and it seemed to contain some other things.
"Well, it's not okay for you to stay here all the time, why don't you leave with me first, and I'll take you to find your family, okay?" He Qiao showed a smile again, I have to say, He Qiao is still very handsome, his face is very handsome, plus he often has a faint smile, his eyes are clear and bright, and it is easy to win the favor of strangers.
After a slight hesitation, the girl nodded and stood up from the ground, but her body was too weak, and she had not stood up for two or three days, when she suddenly tried to stand up, and she was unstable and almost fell to the ground again.
Fortunately, He Qiao's eyes were quick and he helped her in time.
"Well, you're still too weak to walk, so I'll carry you on my back. He Qiao whispered, and without waiting for the girl to refuse, he carried the girl on his back, walked out of the bushes, and walked all the way to the south.
There, it is the head of the three major forces in Jiuling City, the direction of the Su family in the south of the city, it is not right to say so, it should be said that it is the head of the three major forces in Jiuling City three days ago, now, it is just a ruin, the Su family has been wiped out three days ago, He Qiao is going to try his luck there, can he find some exercises cheats or resources or something.
The girl's weight is very light, after all, she is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and she is a little thin, only about sixty or seventy pounds, which can be said to be like nothing for He Qiao, who is heavy in the blood refining realm, and it does not affect his speed at all.
A quarter of an hour later, He Qiao stopped, this was not the Su family in the south of the city, but a small clear lake.
Stopping on a stone next to the lake, He Qiao gently put down the girl behind him and said gently: "Don't move, I'll wash it for you." Without waiting for the girl to refuse, he started to help her clean it.
The girl subconsciously tensed up, she thought that the man in front of her was trying to take advantage of her, she subconsciously grabbed her clothes and curled up.
He Qiao didn't seem to notice the girl's movements, washed his hands seriously in the lake, and then picked up some water and helped the girl wash her cheeks.
Unconsciously, the girl relaxed her vigilance, and her body was no longer curled up.
He Qiao helped her wash her cheeks and two little hands, and helped her wash her long hair, then nodded with satisfaction, the smile on her face was even brighter, after the little face was washed, this girl was so cute, which made He Qiao feel very satisfied.
Helping the girl wipe the water on her body, He Qiao once again carried the girl behind him and walked quickly towards the Su family in the south of the city.
"My name is Su Muqing. Zhenshou leaned on He Qiao's back, and the girl whispered her name.
"Well, that's a beautiful name. He Qiao smiled, his footsteps still did not stop, and after waiting for a while, seeing that the girl did not continue to speak, He Qiao continued to ask: "Hmm, why are you alone there, your family?"
"Family..."Hearing these two words, tears unconsciously ran down his cheeks and wet He Qiao's back.
Feeling the wetness of his back, as well as the girl's soft sobbing, He Qiao fell silent, and after a long time, he said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." He had realized that the girl's family must have suffered a misfortune.
At this time, He Qiao finally arrived near Su's house in the south of the city.
At this time, the Su family was already in a mess, the courtyard wall had collapsed, and most of the originally exquisite houses had collapsed, a dilapidated and depressed scene, I am afraid that no one could believe it, three days ago, it was the head of the three major forces in Jiuling City, and there were countless gold and silver treasures and cultivation resources.
Walking into the dilapidated Su family with Su Muqing on his back, He Qiao began to rummage carefully, he found it very seriously, so he didn't notice that the eyes of the girl behind him had been closed, and her tears still couldn't stop flowing.
This is her home.
He Qiao is destined to be disappointed, in the past two or three days, I don't know how many waves of people have been here, all valuable things have long been swept away, where will there be left for him.
After rummaging for a long time, He Qiao didn't find anything, and sighed helplessly, he was a little disappointed.
However, then he thought of the girl behind him, and the sadness on his face stretched a lot.
Although he didn't find anything, he didn't find nothing, and it can be said that he was very lucky to be able to pick up such a cute girl.
Leaving the Su family in the south of the city, He Qiao picked up Su Muqing on his back and rushed towards the direction of Jiuling City, it was already afternoon at this time, he was going back, he was just an inconspicuous handyman in the Nine Dragons Dart Bureau, he had a lot of work to do, and he had to get up early tomorrow morning to work.
However, before tomorrow arrives, he has another very important thing to do.
It wasn't until the evening that He Qiao and Su Muqing returned to Jiuling City, after all, they also had a heavy blood refining realm, Su Muqing recovered quickly, and after nearly a day's time, she could already get down and walk by herself.
Su Muqing's white and tender little hand was held by He Qiao, and in the other hand she was holding a sugar gourd, which He Qiao bought for her when she passed by just now.
He Qiao felt that Su Muqing should like to eat sugar gourds.
Su Muqing took the sugar gourd, bit one gently, and then subconsciously licked his lips, some sweet and a little sour.
This scene made He Qiao a little stunned, she was really cute at this time.
Shaking his head and shaking out the messy thoughts in his head, the two continued to walk forward.
A quarter of an hour later, the two finally arrived at the goal of their trip - "Hongxiangfang", which is one of the two most famous "restaurants" in Jiuling City.
The two walked into the red incense shop and called Xiao Er, He Qiao ordered a table of wine and food lavishly, and even poured a glass of wine for Su Muqing.
This is Su Muqing's first time drinking, she doesn't know how to drink, however, He Qiao said that she is not very emotionally stable now, and drinking some alcohol can help her sleep, so she will drink.
After just drinking three or two lamps, Su Muqing's pretty face began to turn red.
She felt that He Qiao might be plotting against her, but it didn't matter, if she was ill, she heard that a drunk could relieve a thousand sorrows.
After three or two glasses of wine, she didn't need He Qiao to pour her wine, she poured the wine herself and drank it.
I don't know when, it has gradually darkened outside, and Su Muqing is already dizzy, and he can't see He Qiao's face clearly.
"I'll help you up and rest, and you'll stay here tonight. He Qiao picked up Su Muqing and walked towards the bedroom upstairs.
Su Muqing closed her eyes, she didn't completely lose consciousness, she didn't know that her alcohol was so good, she drank so much, and she still maintained a certain degree of sobriety, but she didn't resist, so she let He Qiao pick her up and walked to the room upstairs.
