Chapter 32: Survivors
Huixin had already probed first, Yun Shangfei and Mo Xiaoxie glanced at each other, made a look, and also put away the magic weapon, and followed behind Huixin with a vigilant step. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
As the distance closes, the crying gets louder and louder, reaching the level of heartbreaking, listening to this timbre, it does not look like the voice of an adult, but like a child crying bitterly.
Huixin's pace quickened, and when she turned a corner, she saw a child about seven or eight years old, leaning against a tree, curled up with his knees pressed against his chest, his hands folded, his head buried in his thighs, howling and crying. It really makes the listener sad and the listener cry.
Huixin seemed to be hit by the child's painful voice to the soft place of her heart, kindness was like water, gushing out from the depths of her heart, looking at the child who was squatting on the ground and only crying, and even the three of them were close to the child, squatting down, and asked in as soft a tone as possible: "Child, why are you staying here alone?"
The child who was curled up and squatting did not expect that there was someone else next to him, and suddenly he was startled by a speech, and even the crying was choked, and when he saw two men and one woman standing in front of him, he cried loudly after a short sob, and the tears of the bean were rolling down, like beads with broken threads, and his eyes were red and swollen from crying, like ripe plums, and his hands were rubbing his eyes desperately, as if he was afraid of Huixin them, and his body subconsciously shrank back, but behind him was a thick tree, and there was no room for him to retreat further, looking at the nearest Huixin's little face and being frightened and whitePale.
Huixin saw that the child seemed to regard himself as a bad person, while wiping his tears, he secretly observed himself, dodged to the side, his eyes were very frightened, so he had to say in a soft voice again: "Don't be afraid, we are not bad people, why are you crying, if you have any grievances, just tell us, we will help you." ”
Who knew that Huixin was so kind and comforting, and the child was still crying on the ground, no different from before, and it seemed that Huixin's words didn't stop in his ears at all.
Yun Shangfei saw Huixin's frowning and faintly worried look, and said with a smile: "Sister Huixin, you don't have to bother, I guess this kid can't understand what you say at all, even if you say it for a day, he won't understand what you mean." ”
Huixin suddenly realized, and then fell into distress, thinking hard about how to make a child who couldn't understand words, how to make him understand what he meant, and comfort him to stop crying.
"I can understand. The immature child's voice sobbed a little and said softly.
"Huh?" Yun Shangfei was taken aback, smiled wryly, and turned his head to look left and right.
Hui Xin took a long breath, looked at the child who had already spoken, and asked with a smile, "Since you can understand, why don't you answer my sister's question?" If you don't want to speak, you can stand up and leave here first, and wait until you want to speak." ”
"I'm not leaving. The child was still crying, but his voice was much quieter, and the tears were no longer flowing, but his eyes were still watery, and he looked like he was going to cry again at any time.
"It's dangerous here, let's get out of here first, okay. Huixin was patient, half coaxing and half persuasive.
"No, my parents told me to hide here alone and stay untouched, and they will come and pick me up later. The child hurriedly shook his head and wiped the tears on his cheeks, but because his hands were dirty, he pulled his face like a little cat, and whimpered and pushed Huixin to reach over to pull his hand.
Hiding here, parents, Mo Xiaoxie and the others had suspected how a child could appear here for no reason, and they had thought that he was a cultivator, but at this time, when they heard the child mention his parents, they instantly had other guesses in their hearts.
His parents guessed that it should be a cultivator, so there must be a reason why the two monks threw a child who was only seven or eight years old in such a barren mountain range, and told the child to hide here, the only possibility was to encounter a strong enemy that was not easy to deal with, and was forced to hide the child here, and they led the enemy away.
Thinking of the heroic scene not far away before, Huixin and several people lowered their brows and became silent, if things were really as the child said, his parents left him here and joined forces to deal with the strong enemy, then nine times out of ten it was an accident.
Huixin looked compassionate, and said angrily: "Child, your parents have gone far, far away, and they won't come back to pick you up in a short time, you follow your sister, and your sister will take care of you from now on, okay?"
The child blinked his big amber eyes in confusion, because he had been crying for a long time, and the whites of his eyes were still red threads, and asked in an innocent tone: "Sister, you are lying, are my parents dead?"
Except for the child, everyone present was stunned, shocked by the child's precociousness and intelligence, and didn't know how to answer him for a while, do you want to tell him bluntly that you are right? No one can say this kind of thing at this moment, death is too heavy for a stranger like Mo Xiaoxie or a relative like the child in front of him, so that the heavy can't be said so easily.
Everyone was silent, the child lowered his head, his amber luster eyes became dim, and he whispered sadly: "I knew that this was the case, in the past, after the death of my parents' fellow brothers, my parents also said this with the children left behind by my brothers, so you don't have to feel sorry for me, looking at those playmates who are about the same age as me, I know that sooner or later it will be my turn." ”
Halfway through the sentence, the child became unable to cry, and by the time he finished speaking, he had already burst into tears.
Mo Xiaoye and the three of them looked at the crying child in front of them, and they all felt that their chests were blocked, and they felt a little distressed about this overly sensible child.
"Child, let's get out of here, and my sister will take you somewhere else. ”
Huixin stretched out his hand and dragged the child's body, this time he was not so resistant at first, and was easily helped up by Huixin and carried on his back.
"Sister, I'll carry him. Noticing that Huixin was carrying the child on her back, Mo Xiaoye hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to take the child from Huixin's back.
Yun Shangfei was not far behind, and immediately behind Mo Xiaoxie, he also stepped forward and said, "Yes, Sister Huixin, let's carry it, don't be tired." ”
Feeling the little hand of the child behind him tightly grasping the clothes on his shoulder, Hui Xin smiled with gratitude, shook his head and refused: "Forget it, let's come, he is not very heavy, and this weight is nothing to us cultivators." ”
Seeing Huixin's persistence, Mo Xiaoxiao and Yun Shangfei couldn't say anything more, so they had to take back the outstretched hand.
"Child, can you tell my sister what your name is?" Huixin asked softly as she walked ahead, turning her head slightly.
The child lying behind Huixin sobbed after a long time before he sobbed and replied, "Xiaotong, my name is Xiaotong, and my father and mother used to call me that. ”
Huixin felt that the clothes on her back were a little wet, it should be Xiao Tong's tears dripping wet the clothes, but she didn't care about these side things, she lifted Xiao Tong's body up and slid down, and suddenly her body stiffened imperceptibly, and after her expression changed, she asked with a smile: "Xiao Tong, how old are you this year?"
But after waiting for a long time, I didn't see the child answer, and when I turned around, it turned out that the child had closed his eyes, with tear stains, and fell asleep coquettishly, and he must have been tired after crying for so long.
Glancing at Mo Xiaoxie and the two who were following behind him, Huixin's eyes flashed with heavy worry.
"Yun Shangfei, you control the magic weapon to fly with the little evil, and I will take the little child. Coming to the riverbank, Huixin turned and commanded.
After Yun Shangfei received the instructions, he immediately agreed: "Okay." ”
Then a golden light and a blue light sped along the bank of the river, one after the other, and in an instant it was several miles away.
At the edge of the Forest of Demons.
A middle-aged man with a white cloth blindfolded and a bamboo stick in his hand walked through the forest, the strong murderous aura around his body was not concealed, and no animal dared to approach his side within a radius of ten miles, this middle-aged man was Wei Dao.
Although the sun hung high in the sky, there was still darkness that he could not illuminate, and there was deep silence in the dense forest, as if there were ghosts lurking not far ahead, waiting to endure.
Wei Dao stopped suddenly, his eyes under the white cloth seemed to be looking straight ahead, his right hand held one end of the bamboo strip, the killing aura of his body was condensed, ready to go, the smile This originally friendly action revealed cruelty on his face for some reason, and said in a hoarse voice: "Come out, although your methods of concealing your deeds are very clever, but I still found you." ”
After a while, a puff of green smoke drifted to the ground and fell to the ground, and a burst of transformation turned into a personable man in Tsing Yi, standing fifty meters away from Wei Dao, looking at Wei Dao with a playful smile on his face, this man in Tsing Yi was actually Mu Chen who entered the palace that day and called the woman the master.
Wei Dao smiled, but the hand holding the sword tightened, and said: "After so many days, I finally met a decent opponent, and it is said that demon cultivation is good at concealment and change, and today I saw that it was really the case." ”
Mu Chen waved his hand, and a movement seemed to be in line with the nature of heaven and earth, and said with a modest smile: "Your Excellency praised it falsely, and I dare not be ashamed, even so, haven't I been discovered by Your Excellency?"
"I can find out that you are only because I took advantage of you, and I happen to be familiar with your essence. "Wei Dao is a sincere person, unabashed, and honest.
Mu Chenfeng stood there lightly, the murderous aura emanating from Wei Dao's body had no effect on him, every move, word and deed, the surrounding flowers and trees all responded, moving at will, his expression was uncertain, and he said in a leisurely tone: "You are honest, but Your Excellency has killed all the way all the way, what is the purpose of seeing people killing people and seeing demons and killing demons?"
"What, you want to avenge those dead demon clans?" even though he was facing Mu Chen, Wei Dao still said sonorously.
"You know, you can't beat me. Mu Chen squinted his eyes slightly, and said with an inexplicable smile, his tone still flat.
Wei Dao held his head high and said arrogantly: "If you don't fight, how will you know that I must not be your opponent?"
After speaking, he was about to pull out the magic weapon in his hand and fight it out.
"Don't draw your weapon in front of me, I'm afraid I'll kill you if I can't help it. Mu Chen said coldly, the words that came out of his mouth were like nine days of cold dew, instantly freezing Wei Dao's movements in place, and he couldn't enter or retreat for a while.
Mu Chen walked towards Wei Dao, his pace was slow, even an ordinary old man of seventy or eighty years old was walking faster than him, but Wei Dao still maintained the posture of drawing his sword and stood there motionless.
"I'm not here to ask the guilt, let alone kill you, those demon clans who don't listen to orders and act privately will die when they die, just leaving them with a profound lesson, but if I don't come forward and let you continue to kill, some people may have to trouble me, so I'm here today just to know what you want to do?"
"I just want to know where all the human cultivators who have entered here are. ”
"Are you looking for them?" Mu Chen was slightly surprised, and then said: "I can tell you this, you keep walking in the direction of my finger, no matter where they are now, they will eventually gather in that place." ”
Wei Dao used his spiritual sense to probe in the direction he pointed, and the spiritual sense retracted and looked again, where was Mu Chen's figure around.
He moved his stiff body, exhaled deeply, looked at the right hand holding the hilt of the sword covered with sweat, and laughed at himself: "It's really unbelievable." ”
Restraining the murderous aura that frightened the world, Wei Dao smiled gloomily, with a hint of loneliness, and staggered away in the direction that Mu Chen Shicai pointed out.
