Chapter 924: Tragic Background
It wasn't until the sky was a little dark that Li Xuedong heard the sound of wooden wheels outside, and the girl walked in sweating, her thin hair was wet with sweat and stuck to her face, and the gray-white dress on her body was stained with a lot of mud and leaves, which looked a little dirty.
After entering the house, she first plugged in the door, and then went to wash her hands and face, and then turned to look at Li Xuedong.
Through the dim orange candlelight, Li Xuedong found that this girl's appearance was quite beautiful, although she was not as beautiful as Tang Xueyan, but she still looked beautiful, although she was wearing a coarse gray skirt with pudding, but her slender figure was undoubtedly revealed, and she was also a pretty woman with classical characteristics.
Seeing that Li Xuedong was staring at him as soon as he entered the house, Su Lingyun looked a little shy and lowered his head slightly, but quickly thought of the appearance of the butcher, and hurriedly comforted Li Xuedong and said: "I have buried that person on the opposite medicine mountain, even if his family finds it, he will not find it, you can recuperate here." ”
Li Xuedong stared at Su Lingyun and asked, "Have you killed people before?"
Su Lingyun was obviously taken aback by Li Xuedong's sudden question, and immediately shook her head and said, "No, no, I haven't killed anyone." ”
"Then why don't you seem to be afraid of the dead, and you are so familiar with what you do, as if you have done it before?" Although Li Xuedong had a spiritual vision, she did not feel that kind of yin and evil aura in the girl, but there was a kind of death aura that made him very uneasy, so he wanted to figure out what was going on.
The girl saw that Li Xuedong was strange about her burying people, so she had to come over, sit on a stool with paint off next to her, and pinch the patched skirt corners with both hands and said: "Actually, things are not what you think, I really haven't killed anyone, three years ago, there was a plague in this village, and many people died, so I helped people who were not infected with the plague to bury the corpses, so I knew how to deal with the corpses." ”
"So that's what happened, it's really hard for you. ”
Li Xuedong's experience in handling corpses was obtained in this way, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time felt a trace of pity and pity for her.
After Li Xuedong finished asking, the girl blinked at Li Xuedong with clear and bright eyes and asked, "Can you tell me, who are you, why did you fall from the sky, and your strength is still so great, you beat that fierce Zhang butcher to death with one punch, are you a god?"
Hearing what the girl said, Li Xuedong looked up at the tile roof, and the big hole that he smashed out had been repaired, and he said with a ashamed face: "Miss, I'm really sorry, I'm not a god, I just accidentally fell off it, my roof was smashed by me, I'll compensate you." ”
Saying that, Li Xuedong was about to prepare to pay the girl from his body.
But soon he found that he didn't have any money with him at all, and he thought that this was the Hidden Martial Realm, and it was impossible for him to use the money in the secular realm here, not to mention that Miao Hui didn't know what it was, in case she was an elder of a certain sect in the Hidden Martial Realm, she would definitely send someone to chase and kill her as soon as possible.
Once he pulls out a strange coin that doesn't belong in this world, it will definitely attract the attention of others.
Since he didn't need to use secular banknotes, Li Xuedong thought of using the gold nuggets in the storage ring to compensate, but suddenly he thought that he didn't even have true qi, so how could he mobilize the storage ring!
Just when Li Xuedong felt a little embarrassed, the girl waved and smiled: "No need to pay, anyway, this tiled house is not worth much, and you help me kill that butcher, which can be regarded as a great favor for me." ”
The girl's smile is particularly good-looking, like a blooming flower, and even Li Xuedong is fascinated.
Immediately, the girl seemed to think of something, and introduced herself to Li Xuedong: "My name is Su Lingyun, what's your name?"
"Li Xuedong. ”
The girl in front of her saved herself, Li Xuedong didn't think about hiding her name from her, but asked curiously: "Are you the only one in your family, and no one else?"
Su Lingyun showed a lost and sad expression when she heard this, she grabbed her knees with both hands, bit her lip tightly, shook her head slightly and said: "I was originally not from this village, three years ago, the place where I used to live was robbed by bandits, and my parents were killed by bandits, so I followed my aunt to this village." My aunt had an acquaintance in this village, and there was a man of my age in the family of that acquaintance, so they verbally agreed that I should marry the man and let me live in the man's house for the time being.
The man was a scholar, but he had a very bad personality, and I was reluctant at first, but I had nowhere else to go, so I had to stay at his house for the time being. The man had an old mother who was bedridden all the year round, so he asked me to take care of his mother first, and then when I had a good day, I would go to my aunt to give a dowry and marry me. But it wasn't long before there was a great plague in the village, and many people died of the plague, and it became like a dead city, and even I was infected. ”
When Su Lingyun said this, her pretty face was full of despair, and Li Xuedong finally understood why he felt the breath of death from Su Lingyun's body, it turned out that it was not that she killed someone, but that she was infected with the plague.
"Then what about later, why are you okay?"
Li Xuedong knew that the plague was severe, and once he was infected, it would definitely not be possible to survive for three years.
Su Lingyun showed a wry smile, and then she took out a small bag from the pocket of the coarse cloth skirt, opened the bag and took out a piece of crystal clear jade and said, "Actually, I don't know why I can hold on for so long and not die, I think it may be because this thing is bless me, right?"
"Heavenly Raising Stone?!"
When Li Xuedong saw the jade in Su Lingyun's palm, he let out an exclamation.
Su Lingyun was stunned when she saw that Li Xuedong actually recognized the name of the stone in her hand, and then smiled: "I don't know what this jade is, this is what my father gave me, and the bag was sewn by my mother, so I have always kept it on my body." It wasn't just me who was infected with the plague, but the man's old mother was also infected, but the man was fine. When he learned that we were hopeless, he suddenly said goodbye, and then he didn't show up again for three years, and my mother ended up being buried by me.
Later, my condition became more and more serious, and there was a burning pain all over my body, and I didn't know what to do at that time, I just hoped that I would be able to leave without so much suffering. Later, I inadvertently held the bag that my parents gave me in my hand, and then I suddenly felt that my body was no longer in pain, as if it could help me relieve the pain, so I lived on it for more than three years. ”
