"Brother is back, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Xu Zhian patted the girl gently and comforted her gently. After the girl calmed down, he continued: "You have worked hard these past two days, where is Zhixi?"
"My brother is too hungry. He keeps crying. I just drank some water before falling asleep." The girl clung to Xu Zhi'an and seemed not to want to leave even a minute.
"Yes." Xu Zhi'an gently stroked the girl's messy hair and gently peeled off the knotted hair. When his hands touched the girl's protruding bones, he felt infinite distress in his heart. His sister had become so thin. appearance.
Xu Zhi'an pursed his lips, pushed the girl away slightly, and then opened the package in his arms. Revealed in the corner of the package was a lump of gray-white stuff, like some kind of dough kneaded from grain powder.
"Brother, this is...!"
The girl's eyes instantly moved to the package, and then she swallowed, but she could no longer look away.
"Call Zhixi, you don't have to be hungry today." Xu Zhi'an smiled slightly, then put the package on the ground, opened the wrapped cloth, and a ball of soft, glutinous and elastic dough appeared in front of the girl.
"This is food, brother, you are so awesome!" The girl almost jumped up with joy, and then ran quickly into the cave, shouting eagerly and excitedly: "Zhixi, Zhixi, I won't sleep anymore, I'm not hungry anymore." , there’s something to eat!”
Xu Zhian smiled and sat down. The fatigue and pain on his body were like waves, each wave stronger than the other. At this moment, his tense mind was no longer tense. Once his heart relaxed, these pains could no longer be contained, and he could no longer rely on them. He was leaning against the earth wall, but he couldn't use any strength at all.
Soon there was a cry of children inside the cave, which only lasted for a few moments, and then there was the sound of loud breathing, which sounded a bit weak if you listened carefully.
Then her sister Zhiping walked out with difficulty, holding a little boy in her arms. This little boy was about three or four years old, but he had a round belly and slender limbs. At this moment, his upper body was hugged by Zhiping, but his lower body was dragged on the ground. Crying helplessly.
"Brother has brought food back. I won't feel uncomfortable after eating." Zhiping comforted her breathlessly: "Look, the food is right there."
Listening to her sister's words, Zhixi glanced at Xu Zhi'an, and then fell on the package in front of Xu Zhi'an. Her dim eyes suddenly lit up, and she stood up without her sister's hug, and then ran up staggeringly. Go ahead, grab the dough and stuff it into your mouth.
"My brother is hungry and scared."
Zhiping looked at all this and looked at Xu Zhi'an, as if she was afraid that Xu Zhi'an would blame her and spoke softly.
"I know, Zhiping, you have been hungry for two days. You should eat something. There is enough food." Xu Zhian smiled and looked at his wolfing brother, and then turned to his sister, his eyes full of relief.
"Well, brother, don't you want to eat?" Zhiping stepped forward and asked softly, but her eyes never left the dough.
Seeing all this, Xu Zhi'an felt a little sour in his heart, but still smiled on his face, patted his belly and said, "Brother has eaten it a long time ago."
In this way, my sister, who had been attracted by the dough for a long time, no longer had any scruples, grabbed the dough and started eating it.
The two of them ate very quickly. The difference was that the younger brother grabbed the dough and stuffed it into his mouth without looking at it. He didn't care about the fallen crumbs and just wanted to get the biggest piece. The younger sister was much more careful and started from the edge. , more often than not, he picks up the powder his younger brother leaks, and never competes with his younger brother.
The sound of chewing food sounded, and the energy of the two of them gradually recovered. After a while, the dough that the younger brother put in his mouth could no longer be swallowed, but he stubbornly held it in his mouth and refused to spit it out. The younger sister stopped eating and looked at his younger brother. Laughing, relaxation and joy finally arrived in the cave.
At this time, there was still a little half of the dough in the package, and my sister carefully wrapped it back.
At this time, the younger brother patted his belly, ran towards Xu Zhian like a spoiled child, and said inarticulately: "Guo Guo (brother), I miss you."
This caused Zhiping to curse softly: "Silly brother, you have to swallow what's in your mouth, don't keep it in your mouth."
"I don't!" Zhixi held Xu Zhi'an's hand, held her head high, and made faces at her sister fearlessly.
The cave was filled with joy again.
It would be great if it had always been like this. Feeling this atmosphere, Xu Zhian felt expectations in his heart, but...
He touched his cheek, which was exactly where Hua Guduo had been before, and his mind became gloomy.
When the flowers bloom, it will be the day of death. I don’t have much time left. Fortunately, my younger siblings are not infected. I have to do something for them during this time. Otherwise, once I die, my younger siblings will have to die. How to survive?
Whether he betrayed his trust or was poisoned, everything is his responsibility. I just hope that they can live in peace. I only have two relatives.
But what can I do?
Despair filled the surroundings. Xu Zhi'an looked at his brother and sister reluctantly, and tears welled up unconsciously.
"Guoguo (brother), why are you crying?"
"elder brother?"
Two worried and concerned eyes fell on Xu Zhi'an. Xu Zhi'an quickly wiped his tears and said with a smile: "It's okay, brother is just happy."
While talking, Zhiping and Zhixi quietly hugged Xu Zhi'an and snuggled into Xu Zhi'an's arms.
In the dim cave, the three lonely brothers and sisters cling to each other. In this desperate world, they are like three humble fireflies gathered together, fragile but full of weak light, illuminating each other.
…
"Boom!"
There was a thunder, the wind swept through the clouds, and black clouds rolled in the sky outside the cave.
The storm is about to come, and there is a feeling of chilling.
The three brothers and sisters cuddled together and looked up outside the cave. The platform in the distance was only hazy. There was a storm in the surrounding areas. Big raindrops pattered on the cave. The water mist filled the air. The water outside the cave flowed into the cave.
What a heavy rain!
The three brothers and sisters stood up quickly, picked up the surrounding soil and stones, and piled them at the entrance of the cave, trying to stop the spreading water flow.
"Crack!"
While they were busy with each other, a black human hand suddenly touched the wall outside the cave, and water stains dripped from the wall along the sharp nails.
“It smells like food!”
There was a greedy and hungry growl, and then a tall black figure came in.
His whole body was pitch black, his clothes were in tatters, his eyes were blood red, but there was a coquettish light. What shocked Xu Zhi'an was that there was a seven-petal flower blooming on this man's forehead, and in the middle of the flower was a smiling face, and countless black The vines spread out from the smiling face and pierced the man's body, as if no flesh and blood was visible. The man's whole body had been replaced by vines, and part of the skin fell off as the man moved.
Through the broken skin, Xu Zhi'an saw the bones in the gaps between the vines, which were also covered with fine roots.
"Get out!"
Xu Zhi'an picked up the sharp branch on the side and stood in front of his younger brothers and sisters, staring at the vine monster in front of him.
"food!"
The monster seemed unconscious. Only the reflections of Zhiping and Zhixi were left in its blood-red eyes. Drool kept dripping from the corners of its mouth. Countless vines emerging from its body surged and rushed towards the two children.
Seeing that something was not going well, Xu Zhi'an's body once again had black bloodshot eyes, and strength surged all over his body. He took the branch and stabbed towards the monster's face.
There was a "pop" sound, and the sharp branch pierced the monster's eye socket, and continued to break through without any resistance, and then passed out from the back of the monster's head.
It's a pity that the monster seemed to be unconscious. This fatal injury to ordinary people did not stop the monster at all. The vines coming out of his body had already crossed Xu Zhian, and one of the vines tied up Xu Zhian who was running backwards. sister legs.
"Zhixi, the monster is here again, go and get the 'stone'!" The younger sister paused and fell to the ground on her back. The moment she fell to the ground, she grabbed the stone pillar protruding from the ground and tried her best to avoid being dragged away by the monster.
"Ah! Sister!" The young Zhixi shouted in horror, and the dough fell out of her mouth at this moment, but she seemed to know the critical moment and hurriedly continued to run deeper into the cave.
Xu Zhi'an's attack was ineffective, and he was so anxious that he quickly threw away the branch, grabbed the vine that tied his sister and bit it.
This vine was extremely hard. Xu Zhi'an tried his best to almost break his teeth, but he could not bite even an inch. Hearing his sister's painful groan, Xu Zhi'an's body's meridians and muscles bulged, and the flower bones on his face seemed to have changed. It flickered and opened up a little.
Suddenly, Xu Zhi'an felt severe pain all over his body. It was like countless snakes were passing through his flesh and blood. Something suddenly appeared between his bones and muscles, and then more strength finally surged through his body. At this moment, he couldn't care less. It was nothing, so he bit down hard, blood flowed from his gums instantly, but fortunately, the vine in his mouth was finally broken with a "click".
"Ah! Same kind!"
The monster finally trembled, and the vines all over its body trembled. Then it turned its attention to Xu Zhian, as if he knew that if he couldn't deal with Xu Zhian in front of him, he would not be able to eat "food".
"Bah!" Xu Zhi'an spat out a mouthful of blood. The black blood covering his body seemed to be thicker at this moment. Countless energy surged all over his body, giving him the illusion of tearing everything apart. However, Xu Zhi'an didn't think too much. With this surge of energy, he straightened his body and then rushed towards the monster.
Even with bare hands, we have to drive this monster out of the cave. His brother and sister are here!
The monster seemed to know that Xu Zhian was going to fight for its life. The vines that surged out were retracted, and then the sharp branch in the left eye socket was pushed out of the body. As it came and went, the monster's skin continued to shake off, and the seven-petal flower on its forehead slowly It grew bigger and moved downward, and finally a new face was revealed in front of Xu Zhi'an. It was a humanoid monster made of rattan. The head part was an open seven-petal flower. The black smile formed by the stamens in the flower was closely related to the cultivation of Duijin Kingdom. The smiling face flowers are the same, and they are worn on the monster's face like a mask.
