"Brother Luo Yan, this is for you."
After dinner, Luo Yan came to Xia's house, and Xia Anan gave him a painting.
This is a doodle.
The drawing is very simple.
It shows a man with a sword driving away two bad guys.
In a car next to them, three children were cheering for joy.
Among them, a child wore two braids and drew a bow with a red pen.
Obviously, this is Xia Anan.
"Do you like it?" Xia Anan asked expectantly.
Luo Yan folded the paper carefully and put it into his pocket: "I like it very much."
Xia Anan laughed happily.
Only then did Luo Yan realize that her bedroom was covered with various paintings.
"An An likes to draw?"
Luo Yan asked casually.
Xia Anan nodded, climbed onto the bed and showed one of the sheets to Luo Yan.
"This is me, this is daddy, this is mommy."
She pointed to the doodles on the paper.
On the paper, there are two adults and a child drawn.
In the background is a two-story house with a big tree planted next to it.
The three little people in the painting all have small faces, and the family of three is enjoying themselves happily.
Luo Yan looked at Xia Jie in the living room.
The painting shows a family of three.
But in reality, there are only Xia Jie and Xia Anan.
No need to ask where the hostess went, Luo Yan could probably guess it.
Xia Anan stretched out her hand and caressed the woman on the paper.
"When disaster struck, our house collapsed."
“My mother and I were the only ones at home at the time.”
"My mother hugged me very tightly and told me that my father would definitely come to save us."
"Later, my father came and I was saved, but my mother never woke up again."
Xia Anan put this painting against her chest and hugged herself tightly: "Dad said that mother went to a very far away place."
"She'll be watching me from the stars."
"So every night, I look through the skylight and look at the stars."
"This way mom can see An An's face."
"Brother Luo, tell me, can mom see me?"
Xia Anan raised his head, his two big eyes were red.
Luo Yan ruffled her hair: "You can definitely see it, and your mother must be very happy."
"Because An An is cute and beautiful."
Xia Anan immediately showed a row of white teeth.
She added: "When I grow up, I want to go everywhere and draw everything I see."
"Brother Luo, do you think this is good?"
Luo Yan's lips raised slightly: "Of course, it's great."
Xia Anan smiled happily when she heard Luo Yan's affirmation.
At this time Xia Jie came over: "Okay, it's getting late."
"Sleep peacefully."
"Brother Luo needs to rest too."
Xia Anan nodded, and then said mysteriously: "Brother Luo, I will give you a gift tomorrow."
"You must accept it."
Luo Yan agreed and then left with Xia Jie.
Xia Jie took him to an uninhabited cave dwelling.
There was a bed and quilts inside, which had obviously just been laid.
"Sorry, brother Luo Yan."
"The place is simple, so you can just spend one night."
Luo Yan put his backpack on the bed: "I've lived in worse places than this."
Xia Jie smiled and left.
Luo Yan lay down on the bed, and the 'Dragon Elephant' was placed beside the bed, but he did not fall asleep.
Instead, he opened his 'Peeping Silver Eyes' and monitored the surface.
He was worried that the traffickers would come to take revenge at night, but until two o'clock in the morning, there was no movement on the surface.
It seemed that he was worrying too much.
So Luo Yan closed the divine treasure, turned over, and gradually fell asleep.
I don’t know how long I slept.
Suddenly, he felt that the 'Dragon Blood Essence' became active and seemed to be devouring something.
Luo Yan suddenly woke up and found that several dragon scales appeared on his body, and strands of amber light came out from the gaps in these dragon scales.
They looked like tentacles and pythons, dancing slightly in mid-air, and they looked like they were hunting and devouring something.
In the red eyes, circles of silver appeared.
Luo Yan opened his 'Silver Peeping Eyes' and saw a faint red brilliance floating above the cave dwelling.
The amber light emanating from the 'Dragon Blood Essence' is preying on these brilliance, and then removes the dross and retains the essence.
Under Luo Yan's gaze, some information highlighted in those light red lights: Toxin!
Level: Violent!
Air concentration: high!
Compared with the past, in addition to pure data, 'Peeping Silver Eyes' now also provides information similar to evaluation.
But this information made Luo Yan's heart sink.
He got up from the bed and looked out into the corridor and into the entire underground space.
The more I look at it, the colder my heart becomes.
The entire underground space was dark.
Except Luo Yan himself.
There was not a ball of biological gray light to be seen.
Luo Yan immediately picked up the 'dragon elephant' lying beside the bed.
He walked out of the cave and walked along the corridor towards the Xia family.
Passing by a cave dwelling, he saw the retired teacher.
Liu Guo was leaning on a desk. There was a notebook spread out on the desk, and the pen fell to his feet.
Luo Yan walked in and saw a stain of blood, staining his notes red.
In the notes, there is the lesson plan Liu Guo made for tomorrow's teaching, and he also wrote down which children need to strengthen their learning in what aspects.
But this lesson plan will never be used by the old man.
He was no longer breathing.
Luo Yan retreated quietly.
He passed the corridor.
Passing through cave dwellings.
Saw bodies one after another.
Then he stopped.
He saw Sun Xiaopang, the child he rescued during the day.
Fatty Sun was lying on the ground, and his mother was lying beside him.
Likewise, they are no longer breathing.
Luo Yan quickened his pace.
In the blink of an eye, we arrived at the Xia family.
He walked in and saw Xia Jie lying on his bed, bleeding from all seven holes, and holding a notebook in his hand.
It recorded the money he had saved, and also wrote how much money he had left before he could enter the dungeon.
Luo Yan came to Xia Anan's room again.
Naturally, he saw a small corpse.
There is a small table on Xia Anan's bed. She can usually draw things on the table.
Now, the little girl's body was lying on the table.
Her eyes were bleeding, and the blood in her ears and nose had turned dark red, almost black.
On the table is a piece of letter paper.
The letter paper was white, but Xia Anan drew flowers of various colors on it. She tried her best to decorate the letter paper.
And on it, I wrote some crooked words.
'Brother Luo, thank you for saving Xiaohu and Xiaopang. An An doesn’t have anything to give you, so I’ll give you a white rabbit candy. It is delicious, but I have been reluctant to eat it because it is the last candy my mother gave me. Now I give it to you. Mom said, no matter how bitter life is, if you eat sugar, the bitter will become sweet, don’t you think? '
It’s hard for a child under ten years old to write so many words.
And right next to the letter, there was a White Rabbit candy with a wrinkled and even flat outer packaging.
Luo Yan picked up the candy, unwrapped it, and put the milk candy that looked a little melted, maybe even expired, into his mouth.
He chewed it gently and tasted it carefully, as if he was eating some delicious food.
After a while, he ate the candy.
Then he touched Xia Anan's head.
"Thank you."
"An'an, this is the most delicious candy I have ever tasted."
Look at this small, slender, helpless body.
Luo Yan seemed to want to carve her into his eyes, his heart, and his bones.
Then turned around.
The red eyes seemed to be burning with fire.
It was uncontrollable, unspeakable, violent and blazing... anger!
