Chapter 9: Troubled Times, People's Hearts
The big day was in the sky, at twelve o'clock in the afternoon, twelve hours had passed since the great changes in the heavens and the earth, and the great sun overhead was like a fireball roasting the earth.
In the room, it was very quiet, I saw Mu Xi'er and Ao Dong sitting on chairs, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.
It's been so long, and they still haven't seen Taiyi return, which makes the two full of worries. Even Ao Dong was a little panicked, afraid that something would happen to him soon.
"Knock! knock!"
Suddenly, a sudden knock on the door broke the somewhat oppressive silence.
Mu Xi'er was startled, and then ecstatic, "It's Xiaoyi who is back......" immediately jumped up from the chair, got up and went to open the door.
Ao Dong also smiled, and his hanging heart finally fell, but at this time, Ao Dong suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly rushed towards Mu Xi'er and blocked the door.
"Don't be anxious yet, let's see who it is?"
Mu Xi'er also knew that she was in a hurry, and remembered Taiyi's explanation when she was leaving, she couldn't open this door casually.
Ao Dong stood in front of the door, looked out through the cat's eyes, and saw a person standing outside the door, the person was covered in blood and was begging for help, "Is anyone there, help me...... I was hurt by a youkai...... Help me...... I don't want to die...... Don't want to die ......"
"Who's it? Let me see ......."
Through the cat's eye, when she saw this scene, Mu Xi'er was very surprised, and saw a person outside the door covered in blood and dying, and suddenly felt sympathy and wanted to save people, but she remembered Taiyi's repeated explanations before, don't open the door to anyone, and hesitated again.
Outside the door, the man was wailing and moaning, and the sound was a spell, lingering in Mu Xi'er's ears and impacting Mu Xi'er's heart.
"Why don't we let him in and save him, I know this person, it seems to be a person downstairs, and he shouldn't be a bad person......"
Ao Dong shook his head, "No, have you forgotten what Taiyi said before......?"
"But...... But this man is wounded, and if we don't save him, he may die, and we should watch him die in front of us......"
Ao Dong didn't know that if he didn't open the door to save this person, the other party would really die, but Ao Dong remembered that Taiyi had confessed that before he came back, don't open the door to anyone, don't trust anyone, Taiyi has repeatedly told him before.
For a while, Ao Dong was in a dilemma, not knowing whether to open the door or not.
Looking at Mu Xi'er's innocent eyes, and then looking at the blood outside the door, and the weaker and weaker cry for help, Ao Dong finally made a decision, "Okay, let's let him in, but the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, Xixi, you go and bring the knife that Taiyi bought......" In order to be precautioned, Ao Dong decided to hide the mountain knife that Taiyi bought back on his body.
"What do you want a knife for?" Mu Xi'er looked at Ao Dong puzzled.
"It's always good to be careful!"
After Mu Xi'er took the knife, Ao Dong walked to the door softly and signaled Mu Xi'er to be careful, even if the other party was seriously injured, Ao Dong was also very careful, because Taiyi had repeatedly told him.
Outside the door, the man covered in blood, seeing that the door had not been opened for a long time, he was holding back an evil fire in his heart, and he had lost patience, "Big brother, rush in directly!"
I saw a strong middle-aged man standing on both sides of the door, one of whom nodded slightly, and agreed with the blood-clothed man's suggestion, since he didn't open the door, he rushed in directly.
Just when Ao Dong was about to open the door, there was a sudden loud noise, the door was shaking, and someone was banging on the door.
"Ahh
A scream, echoing in the empty corridor, Mu Xi'er was startled, only to see the door knocked open by three big men, and one of them was the dying man who was outside the door before, I saw that the man was holding a fire axe in his hand at this time, and the door was split by a fire axe.
In the room, Ao Dong glared at the three of them angrily, his eyes were almost on fire, all of this was fake, the other party was deceiving himself and deceiving himself to open the door.
"Who are you, what do you want to do?" Ao Dong held the mountain knife tightly in his hand and looked at the three of them vigilantly.
"Big brother, I didn't expect that there is not only so much food here, but also a big beauty!"
The man covered in blood laughed and said, just now he was calling for help outside the door, his eyes were shining, staring directly at Mu Xi'er, as if Mu Xi'er was more attractive than those foods.
The house was full of food, so as soon as the three of them rushed in, they saw the food in the house, and the three of them were immediately excited.
The man in charge looked at Ao Dong, especially the knife in Ao Dong's hand, which made him the most fearful, "We just want some food, and we don't have malicious ......"
"Hmph! There is no malice, without the consent of the master's family, I broke into the door, and said that there was no malice, am I a fool?" Ao Dong held the mountain knife tighter.
"Big brother, what are you talking about with them? You can do it directly, boy, we have requisitioned this house, if you know each other, you can follow us obediently, if you don't want to follow us, then get out, as for this little beauty, you don't have to leave, stay and serve us......"
Mu Xi'er was angry when she heard it, she wanted to save people, but she didn't expect it to be such a result, "Bastard!"
The words have already been said to this part, naturally they are torn their faces, the atmosphere in the room is a little solemn, Ao Dong is holding a long knife in his hand, and he looks at the three of them vigilantly.
The three of them are the same, they seem to be preparing to make a move, the atmosphere is condensing, and at a certain moment, when they reach the apex, they only hear the leader man shouting, "Second, third!"
With a loud shout from the leading man, the atmosphere was broken, and two figures rushed towards Ao Dong. And the man who led him also moved, he didn't rush towards Ao Dong, but rushed straight towards Mu Xi'er.
"Get out of here!"
Mu Xi'er shouted, retreated in a panic, grabbed her hands and kicked her feet, but no matter how much she struggled as a girl, how could she be a man's opponent, and after a while, Mu Xi'er was held down by the man, and she couldn't struggle.
On the side, Ao Dong was still fighting with the two men, and because Ao Dong had a knife in his hand, the two didn't dare to press too hard, so they could only approach step by step.
"Stop, if you don't stop, I'll kill her!" The man in charge suddenly shouted, only to see that there was an extra fruit knife in his hand at some point, against Mu Xi'er's white neck.
Ao Dong glared angrily, very unwilling, but he had to stop, otherwise Mu Xi'er would be in danger.
"Put down the knife in your hand, and then obediently crouch in the corner......"
"Ao Dong, don't listen to him, don't listen to ......" Mu Xi'er was anxious, if Ao Dong really surrendered, it would really be over.
