Yi Liuling followed Qiao Se through the crowded streets, through dark and narrow alleys, and then through a forest path, gradually heading towards the wilderness.
Seeing that there was no one in front of him, but Joseph's pace was still so determined, Yi Liuling began to wonder if this guy wanted to deceive her into some remote place and kill him. Nowadays, forest guards can still be seen passing by this place from time to time. Although it is not as frequent as Second Bamboo Mountain, it is still a comfort. If you go further, you will really reach a deserted place.
"Joseph," Yi Liuling asked from the side, "Are you sure you're not hallucinating?"
"How is this possible? My radar never fails." Joseph shook his head, but his expression was not so sure. "It's strange. What I saw just now, why is it missing?"
"What are you two doing here?" At this time, a young child's voice sounded, "You are here, why don't you go to the city to buy something?"
The two turned around, and there was a little girl standing behind them. She was wearing a simple skirt, as if to protect herself from the wind, and wrapped her head with a large brown scarf like a cloak. She was also holding a small bamboo basket in her hand, which was full of things. flowers.
Her style of dressing up is very common in the Eighth World, especially in areas with more tourists. There are especially many children selling flowers like this. In addition to selling freshly picked flowers, these children are very familiar with the local environment and sometimes act as guides, and the prices are very cheap.
However, unlike some areas, the children in Tuiqun County did not work out to supplement their family income. Under the governance of Kaguya Sai High School, the human race here basically had no worries about food and clothing. But if you want to have higher pursuits, you can only earn some extra pocket money.
The girl in front of her is not particularly exquisite, but she has a pair of beautiful eyes that make people fall in love with her at first sight.
However, Yi Liuling suddenly remembered the little girl named Zoe in Jino Town. She was almost the same age. Because of the different environment, Zoe's clothes were even more shabby and she was thinner. Unlike The girl in front of her also had a rosy complexion. It looked like she was loved by her family and didn't have too many worries.
If the human race under his rule can live such a good life, it doesn't seem to matter much whether the one on top is a human race, a demon race, or a warcraft, right?
However, Queen Lilith is an anomaly of the demon clan, and other demon clans basically still appear in evil images. Even if they look kind, they probably have some conspiracy. If you let your guard down, you may die without knowing how, just like the siren in Ron Village before.
Therefore, this idea only appeared in Yi Liuling's mind for a moment and soon disappeared.
"Little sister, have you seen a woman with a very beautiful back?" Joseph squatted down and asked the little girl with a smile.
How is it possible to ask this? Yi Liuling complained silently.
However, to his surprise, the little girl just tilted her head and thought about it, and said with a smile: "Oh, I know the person you are talking about, I will take you to see her."
"I'm sorry to bother you!" Although Yi Liuling was looking at him frantically to hint at him, the cowardly Qiao Se had obviously lost the ability to judge the current situation. He was overjoyed when he heard this and followed the little girl. .
"..." No matter how you look at it, it looks like a trap.
Originally, the little girl appeared very suddenly, and the Riddler-like dialogue was even picked up. He had no doubt that there might be an ambush waiting for them at their destination. Yi Liuling weighed his fighting power without You Sheng and decided to go directly to the forest guard.
Just kidding, if you follow the opponent without knowing the strength of the opponent, you might be caught yourself if you don't save Jose. You can't shout "Kiara, help!" at this time, right? Not to mention that Kirara is still returning to Lan, he also has self-esteem!
"It turns out that there is indeed a family living in the wilderness." Yi Liuling found a forest guard patrolling nearby and told him the story. After hearing this, the latter comforted him and said, "Don't worry too much. , our Baizhu Town is a very safe place, there won’t be any bad guys or bandits.”
"Then what kind of family lives in the wilderness? Wouldn't it be bad for my friend to come to the door rashly like this?" Yi Liuling found that the forest guard obviously regarded her as an ordinary tourist, and she was happy. Instead of explaining what was and wasn't, he looked worried and said, "He's not very polite. I'm afraid he might disturb the townspeople."
"Oh, this is not rash. Didn't you get the invitation from the host?" Baizhu Town is a big tourist town, and the forest guard here is also very friendly. He explained patiently, "That family is the grandson and grandson of the second generation." People are very hospitable, and since it’s their granddaughter taking you to their home, you don’t have to worry about them getting angry.”
Grandfather and grandson? Yi Liuling was stunned for a moment: "Then, may I ask if the child's mother is..."
The little girl was obviously not Joseph's target, and the beautiful figure he mentioned was so elusive, at least Yi Liuling had never seen it from the beginning to the end. He was a little suspicious that it might be the little girl's dead mother who was causing trouble?
Anyway, when Yi Liuling encounters something, he first associates it with ghosts, and if a powerful spirit is deliberately hidden, he may not be able to detect it. For example, when he was in the toy ghost town, he was tricked by the boss. If it hadn't been for the tips given by his deceased father, he probably wouldn't have been able to get out.
"Mother? Oh, you misunderstood," the forest guard smiled and shook his head. "The old woman who lives alone in the wilderness has never married. She adopted the child. There are only two of them."
Wait, if that's the case, could it be the beautiful back that Joseph mentioned?
"Ah!!!" When Yi Liuling rushed outside the hut according to the forest guard's instructions, she heard Qiao Se let out a terrifying scream.
There was a garden surrounded by a low fence outside the hut. Except for a path leading to the door, the entire yard was covered with bright flowers. It looked like the flowers in the little girl's basket were picked from here.
Because the door was not closed, Yi Liuling walked directly across the path and came to the outside of the hut.
Just when he was about to knock on the door, the door opened by itself. The little girl walked out and almost bumped into Yi Liuling, but she reacted quickly, stopped and recognized him: "Yeah, it's you. , the other big brother."
"Yes, I came to see my friend. What happened inside?" Yi Liuling showed a kind smile.
"That uncle," the little girl hesitated, obviously trying to organize her words quickly, "it seems like he has a sudden, serious illness?"
"Xiao Zhi, didn't you go call the doctor? Why are you standing at the door and not leaving?" At this time, an old voice sounded, and accompanied by slow and steady footsteps, a man walked out from the corner of the corridor.
Yi Liuling finally met the real owner of the "beautiful back".
