At that moment, Xu Qingchen suddenly lost control. He rushed to the door of the wooden cage, kicked the door open with one kick, rushed in and took the woman into his arms.
Yao Xinxin is a girl with a slim figure. When she was in the Yao family, the nursing staff had private discussions and said that Miss Yao might be less than ninety pounds. Of course, that was just a joke, after all, no one has ever weighed their eldest daughter.
The person in my arms at the moment is skin and bones, and it would be considered good if he weighs sixty pounds.
Xu Qingchen was speechless and just hugged Yao Xinxin. He didn't even dare to look at her. Her body was very cold, as if she was holding an iron lump.
"Brother Qingchen... dad... and brother... are they... okay?"
Yao Xinxin didn't know if the person in front of her was real. She had had such a dream many times in the past two months. Every time, the handsome brother Qingchen would rescue her from the devil's cave. But every time I wake up, I have to face the situation where life is worse than death. She was afraid of sleeping, afraid of seeing Xu Qingchen again, afraid of waking up from her dream again.
In her dream, she would ask about the safety of her father and brother every time. Brother Qingchen would always smile and tell her: "The boss and the eldest son are very good. They are already safe."
But why was there no answer this time?
"I'm sorry..." Xu Qingchen murmured. He wanted to cry. He didn't understand why. Why was Boss Yao, who had been doing good deeds all his life, killed? Why was the sincere young master killed? Why did this happen to the innocent young lady? He doesn't understand, he can't figure it out.
Before he went down the mountain, he thought that this was the time when "good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil." After the death of Boss Yao and Young Master Yao, he still believed that since the Yao family could not get good retribution, then let those who caused the disaster get bad retribution. But when he saw Miss Yao again, Xu Qingchen felt something inside him break.
He didn't know what Yao Xinxin went through, but he knew one thing: if he had not returned to the Yao family at that time, but escorted the Yao family's mother and daughter back to their parents' home, and guarded them every step of the way, Yao Xinxin would not have ended up like this.
In the already broken heart, the broken gaps began to be filled with resentment and self-blame. Xu Qingchen has never been so desperate for life as he is now.
After despair, there is anger that is difficult to extinguish.
Linghan walked into the cage and patted Xu Qingchen's shoulder gently. She originally wanted to persuade Xu Qingchen, but Xu Qingchen suddenly spoke.
"Ayagami, help me guard the eldest lady."
Linghan knew what Xu Qingchen was going to do. It was extremely dangerous. She wanted to stop Xu Qingchen, but her words turned into: "Okay... you go ahead."
Xu Qingchen took off his coat and wrapped Yao Xinxin. Yao Xinxin's dull eyes looked at Xu Qingchen's eyes, and each glance made Xu Qingchen's inner rupture intensify.
He squeezed the sword in his hand and walked out of the cell resolutely.
Yao Xinxin's condition was very bad. Hunger, injuries, and those ruthless bandits tortured this little girl to the point of dying.
Linghan replaced Xu Qingchen and held the poor little girl in her arms, hoping that her body temperature could give the girl some comfort.
Outside the prison, I suddenly remembered the cry of killing. Immediately afterwards, the sounds of weapons clashing, swords piercing flesh, and screams came one after another.
Yao Xinxin looked at Linghan's face and asked in a low voice: "Who are you..."
Linghan replied in a low voice: "I am Xu Qingchen's friend... Miss Yao, please stop talking now."
"Where's Brother Qingchen?" Yao Xinxin didn't want to stop.
"He... is taking revenge for you."
"He's really here..." Yao Xinxin's eyes began to glow, and her originally dark yellow face became rosy. Xu Qingchen said that Yao Xinxin is a beautiful girl, like a porcelain doll. But now, where is the glory of the porcelain doll?
Linghan put her hand into the clothes wrapped around Yao Xinxin, trying to inject some vitality into her. But after touching her skin, Ayana couldn't help but burst into tears. How could there be any good meat in this body?
Yao Xinxin looked up at Linghan, opened her chapped lips, and asked again: "Brother Qingchen, will you save me... get out?"
? "
"Will do."
"Will he...dislike me?"
"Will not."
Yao Xinxin looked away. She stared blankly above without looking at anything. She murmured: "That's good...that's good..."
After saying this, Linghan felt that Yao Xinxin's already cold body began to become cold rapidly.
"Miss Yao! Hello! Miss Yao!" Linghan shouted hurriedly, but this could not pull Yao Xinxin back. Having fulfilled her wish, Yao Xinxin closed her eyes peacefully... As long as she could see Brother Qingchen again, that would be enough.
The fight lasted until midnight.
The fighting stopped, and a light rain began to fall from the sky. Xu Qingchen, covered in blood, stood on the hill piled with corpses, like a walking corpse.
"Eighty-six..." He whispered, "Eighty-six people... are not enough. How can you eighty-six be worthy of the eldest lady? It is not enough..."
Everyone died, but the desire to kill in Xu Qingchen's heart did not stop. My heart is about to burn, and my sanity is gradually disappearing.
"Xu Qingchen!" A clear cry called back Xu Qingchen's gradually lost heart.
He looked in the direction of the prison, and Linghan came out holding Yao Xinxin. Yao Xinxin's body was limp in Linghan's arms, and there were tears on Linghan's face.
Xu Qingchen casually inserted his sword into a corpse and walked towards the two of them.
Yao Xinxin's eyes were closed tightly, and her face was already deathly gray.
"Miss Yao..." Linghan cried, "I am exhausted..."
Xu Qingchen was very calm. He took Yao Xinxin from Linghan's arms and said to Linghan: "Go find some clothes for the women in the prison and let them escape on their own."
Xu Qingchen found all the firewood and charcoal in the bandit's village, piled them in the open space in the village, and placed Yao Xinxin's body on the firewood.
Linghan had already distributed clothes and food to the imprisoned women, and wanted to let them go home by themselves according to Xu Qingchen's words. But thinking that these women were weak and weak, they were asked to go to the Thorn Gate of Luzhou first and think of ways to notify their families there.
After she finished doing this, Xu Qingchen had already lit the firewood.
The young man with an innocent heart sat cross-legged on the ground, dripping from his head, and said nothing. Not far away, the hill where corpses were piled up exuded the pungent smell of blood. Originally, even if the two of them joined forces, they might not be able to deal with them, but in just two hours, he was able to kill them all by himself.
Ayana sat next to him and stared blankly at the strong flames.
Why does Yao Xinxin appear here? When did you get here? How about Mrs. Yao?
Although there was sadness in his heart, Xu Qingchen still forced himself to think about these issues.
Until dawn, Yao Xinxin had been burned into a pile of soot, but Xu Qingchen still didn't understand these questions. He picked up the earthen jar he had prepared at hand and wanted to stand up to collect Yao Xinxin's ashes, but his body staggered and fell to the ground.
Linghan stepped forward to help: "What's wrong with you?"
My head was dizzy and I had no strength at all. Linghan checked his body and discovered that he was also injured. The blood on his clothes was not only the bandit's, but also his own. After sitting like this all night, his body had already lost too much blood.
Linghan asked Xu Qingchen to sit down and said, "You sit down, I'll do it."
Xu Qingchen said nothing and continued to sit quietly on the ground. After a long time, Linghan had collected Yao Xinxin's ashes, sealed the jar, and handed the jar to Xu Qingchen.
Xu Qingchen took the jar containing the ashes and said softly: "Thank you very much."
He said and stood up again.
Ayana held him down and said, "Wait a moment, you are hurt too much. I will go find some herbs."
Fortunately, there was some medicine for bruises in the bandit village. Linghan simply applied medicine and bandaged Xu Qingchen. During this period, Xu Qingchen didn't say a word, and his silence was a bit scary.
"I... don't know how to advise you." Ayana, who had always been carefree, suddenly became soft-spoken.
「
No need to persuade me. "Xu Qingchen replied.
"Shall we go back now?"
"kindness."
Such Xu Qingchen made Linghan a little scared. People with bad tempers always get angry, and as time goes by, no one will be afraid of them. A good-tempered person can scare everyone once he gets angry. Although Linghan and Xu Qingchen had only known each other for a short time, she understood Xu Qingchen's character to a certain extent. He was a warm-blooded and good-natured person who smiled all day long. It seemed that nothing bad happened around him.
But Xu Qingchen was different now. He had lost his temper and killed all the bandits in the bandit village. After venting his anger, he was neither happy nor sad, but fell into nothingness. Such emptiness can gradually drag people into the abyss and gradually swallow up their own bottom line. Just a few things are enough for a person's eyes to go from full of light to completely dark.
