"Brother Ling," Ji Shuzhai said, "They are sending her back. Let's go see her grandma."
"That's right, we don't even know her name." Yi Liuling sighed, he had no time to be depressed.
This is just a small-scale demon invasion, and the things that the students of Suojia High School will face in the future are much more cruel and severe than this time. If you can't bear this, how can you go on?
Yi Liuling knew very well that in that situation, unless he knew the other party's purpose in advance, with his ability, he would not be able to save the child no matter how many times he tried it over again. Similarly, he didn't care about Ji Shuzhai's escape. He believed that in the previous battle, everyone tried their best, including the careless Kun Yi. Since they tried their best, there was nothing to blame.
It’s not like this. You can’t force everyone to explode, right?
However, the group of reinforcements that carried everyone's expectations did not appear until the end of the disaster. They were all dressed in bright clothes, even smelling of alcohol, and their bodies were full of the aftertaste of enjoyment.
Yi Liuling couldn't help but be angry.
"Huh." He took a long breath and slowly loosened his clenched fists. Alessa was right, learn to endure until you are able to do something.
He stood up and walked with Ji Shuzhai towards the team carrying the body over there.
Seeing them leaving, Kun Yi stretched out and said, "I'm going to buy some magic materials. I don't know what I will encounter in the secret realm this time."
"I, I'll go with you." Ash quickly introduced himself.
When the guards carrying the body saw Ji Shuzhai and Yi Liuling approaching, they stopped and bowed: "Are the adults leaving?"
Ji Shuzhai's eyes swept across the crowd and stopped on a petite body covered by a white cloth.
"Which family does this child belong to?" Ji Shuzhai asked.
"Ah," the guard turned around and took a look and replied, "After identification, it seems to be from the house on the west side of the town, right?"
The guard responsible for carrying the little girl nodded: "Yes, her parents died in a demon invasion, and now she lives with her grandmother."
"I remember, that mother-in-law is a very good person," the guard who spoke earlier sighed, "However, I don't know if she can bear such blows one after another."
"Oh," said the guard carrying the little girl, "please go see your mother-in-law more often, she doesn't have much time."
Ji Shuzhai hesitated and asked, "Then, can we go to her house and have a look?"
"Ah, of course, please come with us." The guards nodded quickly and motioned for the others to follow.
Several people walked all the way to the west. Guards carrying corpses kept leaving in the team and walked into the houses on the street. Then crying could be heard from inside.
The team became shorter and shorter, and finally only two guards carrying the little girl and Yi Liuling were left. They stopped outside a house.
The house was old and hadn't been painted in a long time, and the walls were peeling badly. The garden was overgrown with weeds, and although someone seemed to have tried to clean them up, they were unable to stop their spread.
Just like humans to demons.
"Mother-in-law," the guard called at the door, "are you at home?"
There was some movement in the house, and with the sound of a cane tapping on the ground, an old man opened the door curtain and came out.
The little girl was right. Her grandma was already very old, even older than the six dormitory guards Yi Liuling and the others had seen. She was already like a mummy.
However, her dry silver hair was meticulously pulled back, and although her clothes were shabby, they were washed very clean. She was a very elegant old lady. Moreover, she has a pair of very clean eyes. Seeing her appearance, you can understand where the little girl's lovability comes from.
"Mother-in-law," the two guards hesitated, then carried the stretcher into the yard and placed it in an empty place, "Today, there was an invasion of demons."
The mother-in-law nodded and moved her eyes towards the body covered with white cloth, with a trace of sadness on her face: "I heard it, and since Zoe hasn't come back for so long, I knew something happened to her."
Zoe? Is that little girl's name Zoe?
"Yes, I'm sorry, we didn't protect her well." The guard lowered his head.
"It's my fault," Ji Shuzhai suddenly said excitedly, "I'm really sorry. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have been attacked."
The guard was stunned for a moment and quickly explained for Ji Shuzhai: "No, mother-in-law, these two adults are very brave. If it weren't for their help, our town would be doomed."
"I know, you are all good children," the mother-in-law sighed, turned around slowly and went back to the house, "You still have things to do, so go ahead and do your work. Two kids from Suojia High School, come in and sit down. ."
"How did she know we were from Suojia High School?" Ji Shuzhai asked Yi Liuling in surprise.
Yi Liuling glanced at him: "You'll find out when you go in."
The two passed by the guard at the door of the yard, and then walked into the house along the loose stone path in the garden.
At this time, the mother-in-law had already poured tea for the two of them, and she was sitting on the rocking chair with a cup in her hands.
"Please sit down," said the mother-in-law. "It's not very good tea, so please don't dislike it."
"Of course I don't mind," Ji Shuzhai quickly sat down and picked up the cup. To prove what he said, he took a big sip, "Ahem, cough, hot, hot, hot."
"Don't be too formal," the mother-in-law smiled kindly, "I don't blame you. You are just freshman high school students who have just entered school for more than a month. It is not easy to survive in the battle."
"How did you know?" Ji Shuzhai's eyes widened. In his eyes, his mother-in-law became more and more mysterious.
The mother-in-law's eyes turned to the window, as if she was reminiscing about something: "You will know if you count the days, because only the first-year students in high school will wear that ugly school uniform."
"Have you ever had contact with people from Suojia High School before?" Yi Liuling was indeed a little surprised, but after thinking about it, it made sense, because Zoe also said before that her grandma had promised to send her to Suojia High School. take an exam.
To be able to travel from such a remote place, my mother-in-law must have some skills.
"I have a secret," the mother-in-law did not answer them directly, "No one can tell it, I will take it to the grave."
Yi Liuling and Ji Shuzhai looked at each other and thought that their mother-in-law didn't intend to say anything, so they stopped asking.
"Well, mother-in-law," Ji Shuzhai said cautiously, "do you need us to do anything?"
“No need, I’m an old man, and the only thing I care about is Zoe’s child.” The mother-in-law suddenly coughed twice, “But you don’t have to remember her, I can just take this memory with me to the grave. ."
This was the second time she mentioned "grave". Yi Liuling looked at her mother-in-law. For some reason, he felt a strange vitality gradually filling her body. However, unlike ordinary people, the vitality is mixed with the energy of death.
