Ruined streets.
Half-collapsed houses.
There was a constant noise in the distance.
And the pitted ground underfoot, full of smelly water.
The more I look.
Gu Han's expression became more solemn.
He knew very well in his heart that everything in front of him should be fake. There was no way there would be such a place in Longjian!
only.
As far as the eye can see, everything is extremely realistic, which seems to indicate that this place is not just an illusion.
Just thinking about it.
Two shouts instantly reached his ears.
His eyes turned.
But he found that the witch's face was already filled with tears, her eyes were full of sadness and longing, her expression was dazed, and she was walking towards the dilapidated courtyard.
"do not go!"
Gu Han frowned.
"There's something weird here..."
The witch didn't seem to hear anything and walked straight in.
Gu Han looked wary.
He also followed directly in.
The courtyard is overgrown with weeds, as if it had just rained. The ground is muddy. Two of the only three thatched houses have collapsed, and the remaining one is also crumbling. It can barely provide shelter from wind and rain, and that Most of the simple wooden door was damaged, and the scene inside was clearly visible.
Inside the hut.
There is an old man and a young man.
The old man couldn't tell his exact age, his face was dull, and his eyes had lost much sparkle.
Beside him.
But it was a little girl in her teens.
He was thin and thin, his coarse cloth was covered with patches, and his face was stained with a lot of plant ash. It was so dark that he couldn't see his face clearly.
"grandfather!"
She knelt down in front of the old man happily.
In his hand was a broken porcelain bowl with several mouths missing.
"you're awake!"
"Drink of water!"
Gu Han's face became even more solemn.
In the mind of God.
The old man and the young man turned out to be real, living people. He could even feel that the old man's vitality was over, his oil was exhausted, and he was about to pass away at any time!
aside.
The witch stared blankly at the old man, with even more sadness in her eyes.
"you……"
Gu Han hesitated for a moment.
"Know them?"
"Ahem..."
Also at this time.
The old man suddenly coughed violently, prompting the little girl to help him calm down.
"Ayin..."
After a while.
The old man gradually stopped coughing and called the girl's name. The look in his eyes... was almost gone.
"Grandpa is going to die, and I won't be able to take care of you in the future..."
"grandfather!"
The girl shook her head desperately.
"You won't die! You won't die! You... you are hungry, right? You haven't eaten for several days. You... wait for me, I will help you find something to eat... eat You will feel better when you are full..."
Said.
She rushed out like crazy.
The weird thing is.
She didn't seem to notice the existence of Gu Han at all, and kept whispering.
"I am full……"
"Grandpa will get better after eating enough..."
inside the house.
The old man was also mumbling to himself.
"I'm dying……"
"Who will take care of Ayin in the future..."
His expression was stiff, and he kept repeating this sentence, but his voice became smaller and smaller, and the look in his eyes became less and less, until finally... he was completely silent.
And at this time.
The witch sat next to the old man, hugging her knees helplessly, her eyes filled with confusion and endless pain.
"he……"
Gu Han looked complicated.
"Is that your grandpa? That little girl...is that you?"
"..."
The witch didn't answer.
Burying his head deeply between his knees, his body trembled slightly.
"……yes."
It seems that this word.
All her strength had been exhausted.
"..."
Gu Han sighed softly. Although he knew that this was probably an illusion, he still wanted to see what happened.
The figure swayed.
He was outside the street in an instant.
outside room.
Pedestrians were constantly coming and going, but it was ten times more prosperous and lively than that dilapidated small street, but still no one noticed Gu Han's presence.
"take it out!"
"Do you know whose territory this is?"
"If you dare to beg for food on this street, I have to set rules for you today!"
"..."
On the street corner.
The girl was holding a steaming bun in her hand and was surrounded by a group of beggars.
"Give me!"
A beggar stared at the buns, laughed evilly, and reached out to snatch them.
"This is the third master's territory...ah!!"
The words are not finished yet.
He suddenly let out a heart-rending scream.
But the girl bit him on the hand, with a fierce look in her eyes, and let the people around her punch and kick her, without letting go at all, while she still firmly protected the bun in her hand.
In her eyes.
Baozi is her grandfather's life, and he cannot hand it over even to death.
"..."
Gu Han moved his fingers.
Suddenly I felt the urge to draw my sword.
Also at this time.
The beggar leaned back, his hand was bloody and bloody, but the girl bit off a finger!
While several people were panicking.
She endured the pain in her body, opened her legs and ran back!
He hesitated for a moment.
Gu Han followed anyway.
He couldn't bear to see what happened next.
"grandfather!"
"I found something to eat!"
"A kindhearted person gave me a bun. If you eat it, you will feel better!"
The girl was panting.
He ran into the hut with endless joy.
immediately.
She then saw the old man's body, which had been dead for a long time, and...his cloudy eyes that refused to close, full of worry and sadness.
The bun instantly fell to the ground.
The girl stared at the old man blankly, her eyes empty and without any trace of her energy.
The old man is dead.
Her world... also completely collapsed.
"These."
Gu Han sighed softly.
"Is this your past?"
"then……"
The witch muttered to herself.
The expression is exactly the same as that of the girl.
"I blame myself very much. If I had gone out to find food earlier, grandpa... maybe he wouldn't have died."
Gu Han remained silent.
The old man did not starve to death at all.
"Where are your parents?"
He couldn't help but ask again.
"I have not seen."
"Grandpa said they died on the way to escape..."
The witch shook her head, her eyes confused.
"Grandpa is my only relative. He is dead... There is no one in this world who treats me well..."
Gu Han stopped talking.
At his discretion.
This place should be a remote and poor place. The witch's parents died young and she was raised by her grandfather.
boom!
suddenly.
The shaky half door was kicked open hard, and several menacing beggars broke in from the outside.
"It turns out to be here!"
"What a shabby place!"
"Mom, if you dare to bite me, I have to kill her!"
"..."
He cursed and cursed.
Several people broke in directly and without any explanation, they grabbed the girl and kicked and punched her, and they were very likely not to stop until she was beaten to death.
From start to finish.
The girl said nothing.
As if he couldn't feel the pain at all, his empty eyes never left the old man.
"..."
Gu Han's eyes turned cold.
A trace of murderous intent suddenly flashed in his heart.
Also at this time.
The figure of a middle-aged man suddenly landed in the hut.
Wearing a brocade robe.
There are three long strands of whiskers under the chin.
His expression is calm and intimidating.
In silence, all the beggars turned into ashes.
Who is this person?
Gu Han instinctively felt that the man in front of him seemed to have a high level of cultivation, and the timing of his appearance was too coincidental.
aside.
The moment I saw the man.
The witch's eyes suddenly burst into unforgettable hatred.
The man seemed unaware.
Glancing at the old man, a coldness flashed through his eyes. He reached out and took it, but he caught a trace of gray aura from the old man's body!
Remnant soul?
Gu Han's eyes turned cold.
Mortals have no cultivation, and their souls will naturally dissipate between heaven and earth after death. Now that the old man has just died, his soul has not dissipated, but it seems to have been forcibly drawn out by a man.
his actions.
It seemed to have completely aroused the witch's anger.
Everything in front of you.
The hut, the man, the girl... all became distorted in an instant, as if they were about to dissipate at any moment.
When the illusion is about to dissipate.
The man looked at the girl, his expression changed, his tone was gentle, and his eyes were concerned.
"Little girl."
"May I have your name?"
The sound seems magical.
The girl raised her head blankly and answered mechanically: "Mo Chenyin."
Mo Chenyin?
Gu Han glanced at the witch.
this……
Is that her name?
