It sounds like the voices of several men.
"All right, all right, don't touch it. Look at your promise. Cut it quickly. The water is boiling. What are you waiting for..."
"No... brother Zhou, I don't dare... Otherwise you can come?"
"Nonsense, I don't see my brothers' eyes green with hunger. They've been eating the teal for many days! Give me the knife!"
A young entourage behind Zhu Xiu said, "they should have caught some game. If it's big enough, let's exchange some dry food for the girl later."
Zhu Xiu frowned.
I'm afraid it won't be "game".
A group of people dismounted in front of the temple. The people in the temple listened to the movement, stopped talking for a moment, looked over warily, and their eyes showed fierce light in the night.
A total of three people, wearing broken jackets, were on fire in front of them. They took stones to build up both sides. A rusty iron pot with open corners was burning water.
The water in the pot bubbled and steamed the small temple white.
One of them held a firewood knife in his hand.
And in the haystack at the foot behind several people, a thin calf and barefoot appeared in Xu Mingyi's line of sight.
There lay a man.
And should be a child.
Besides, there was no game or food.
Xu Mingyi looked again at the firewood knife in the man's hand.
The three people were stared at by them and felt uneasy. The man clenched the knife in his hand and asked, "what are you... Doing?"
There was clearly not much confidence in his tone, but he still looked like a bad bully.
"Passing by." Zhu Xiu said expressionless.
Xu Mingyi raised his feet and walked into the temple.
After the three exchanged their eyes, the man holding the knife stepped forward, reached for the knife and stopped Xu Mingyi, threatening: "you find another place... We came first!"
Xu Mingyi looked at him and asked calmly, "aren't you going to be convenient?"
This too quiet sight made the man inexplicably flustered, but he still said: "who knows where you come from, good or bad! Come on, we don't want to hurt people! We just want to be safe!"
Xu Mingyi still looked at him.
"I don't want to hurt people. I want to eat people, don't I?"
The man's face changed and his hand holding the knife tightened.
After taking another look at the attendants in black cloak behind her, he forced his anger and guilt and said, "meet by chance, well water doesn't invade the river... It's not your turn to mind your own business!"
"Just... Let's go!" the other man also stood up to drive people out and stood on the side of his companion.
Xu Mingyi sneered.
Like two mice trying to show their teeth.
"Smelly boy, ask for trouble!" seeing that she had no intention to leave, the man was impatient and raised his knife to cut at Xu Mingyi: "I'll eat with you today!"
They have a knife in hand anyway!
Who cares!
Really hungry and aware of the danger instinct, so that men have no scruples.
In the line of sight, the person in front does not dodge or hide.
But the next moment, his hand holding the knife was fixed in mid air.
For another moment, the hand holding itself tightly suddenly made an effort, and only a sound of fracture sounded.
The firewood knife also fell to the ground.
"Ah!"
The man cried out in pain and his face quickly turned pale, but the hand holding his wrist still didn't loosen.
Ah Zhu kicked the man heavily. While he was bending, one backhand pressed the other on the ground, and the other hand picked up the firewood knife. However, he hesitated for a moment, but turned to his girl.
The girl didn't bring much clothes. She was afraid that the smelly blood would stain the girl's robe.
In this gap, the man's fingers groped for a fire stick, pulled it out of the fire and waved it to ah Zhu.
Xu Ming raised his feet and kicked the fire stick out.
Zhu Xiu and others have surrounded in.
The other two looked bad. One of them grabbed the edge of the iron pot and suddenly lifted it!
Seeing a pot of boiling water coming face to face, he was about to pour it on Xu Mingyi.
Xu Mingyi dodges away. Zhu Xiu pulls out the broadback broadsword and turns the iron pot to the ground on the other side.
"Bang!"
The boiling water splashed everywhere, and only a few drops splashed on Xu Mingyi's body through his clothes and robes.
The two men took the opportunity to run.
Don't need others to do it. Ah Zhu tightened her face, grabbed one with one hand and pressed the person into the fire.
They screamed and struggled.
"Spare your life, spare your life!" one person began to cry for mercy: "we are really hungry. The government will eat everything we can eat regardless of our life or death. There is really no way! The little girl will die. Even if we don't eat, we will be picked up by others!"
The man whose hand was first broken by ah Zhu also hurriedly said, "we are not evil people. We are just hungry and afraid!"
"Please be kind to all heroes and spare us this time!"
Xu Mingyi came to the haystack, squatted down and sniffed first.
Fortunately, although weak, there is still a breath.
Curled up in front of her like a kitten was a yellow skinned girl.
It looks no more than ten years old. A small face as big as a palm is full of dirt. The ginger thick cloth thin jacket on the upper body is also in tatters. The lower body
Xu Mingyi took off his cloak and covered the little girl's naked and bloody lower body.
Those who claim that they are not evil people are still begging for mercy.
It's not a villain——
This is a ghost.
Hungry is an evil ghost. It must have been an evil ghost when you could fill your stomach in the past.
Without her own girl's permission, ah Zhu didn't act rashly again. For a moment, she just controlled the three people.
"Kill them all."
Xu Mingyi picked up the girl and went out of the temple.
After several screams came from behind, there were no other voices.
"Girl..." Zhu Xiu came up and said, "I'll take someone to explore further to see if I can find other places."
The temple is too dirty to stay.
"Don't look for it." Xu Mingyi took the little girl on the horse and said, "go back to Linyuan."
I don't want to look any further.
You don't have to see it anymore.
What I have heard in the past few months is far less clear and profound than what I have seen in the past seven or eight days.
At this time, she had made a decision in her heart.
Zhu Xiu answered "yes", took off her cloak and handed it to her girl.
Xu Mingyi carefully wrapped the unconscious little girl and held the reins in one hand.
The figure of the party soon disappeared into the night.
Two days later, on the way back to Linyuan, they met someone sent by the Duke of Zhenguo to look for a successor.
Two groups of people walked together for three days and returned to xujiajun camp in the early morning.
"General, the girl is back." the soldier went into the camp and told her.
"Zhaozhao is back?!" the Duke of the town suddenly got up from behind the case and walked out quickly.
The curtain was raised. Xu Mingyi walked in alone and saluted: "Grandpa."
