On the fifth day of the fifth month in the 36th year of the Lan Dynasty, the sky was clear. Leng Shuiyun left Qu Town.
When they left the town and entered the main road, the Clear Mountain Sect did not notice that a young woman was following behind them like a ghost.
Dark Cloud's hooves stepped on the ground, making a small, light tapping sound. Leng Shuiyun leisurely rode on the back of the dark cloud. This went on for a few days, and nothing unexpected happened during this period. Gradually, Leng Shuiyun lost interest in the Clear Mountain Sect. Unfortunately, she knew that they were the best place to start. If she abandoned them, she would have to spend a lot of effort to get what she wanted.
On this day, Leng Shuiyun followed the Bright Mountain Sect to a forest and rested for a while. She lay on the tree and closed her eyes to rest. She kept waving her fan and enjoyed the beautiful music formed by the chirping of birds. Unexpectedly, the good time was interrupted by a cry for help. Leng Shuiyun sat up straight and looked at the Clear Mountain Sect. They didn't seem to have any intention of leaving. If she were to meddle in other people's business and they left, wouldn't she have to spend a lot of effort to find clues? Ah, trouble. At this moment, the cry for help gradually became blurry. It was unknown whether it was because he had run far away or because he was weak. Leng Shuiyun didn't hesitate anymore and flew over. When she got closer, she could clearly hear that it was a boy's voice, with a whimpering and fearful tone.
The boy was tripped by a rock under his feet and pounced forward. The burly man who was chasing after him held him down. As he hit him, he cursed and said," I told you to run, b * tch. It's your fortune that I like you. Why did you chase me away?!"”
The boy's clothes were already very tattered. With a gentle tug from the burly man, they easily tore apart. Accompanied by the sound of cloth tearing, the boy cried out in horror," No!”
The burly man pressed the boy under his body and planned to do something indecent. The burly man's accomplices who caught up behind him kept cheering and cheering. It seemed that the burly man was their boss. As expected, the burly man said," Don't worry. When I'm done enjoying it, brothers, help yourselves, okay?"”
"Good! Good!" The group of underlings echoed," This kid has soft skin and tender flesh. As long as Big Brother doesn't play him to death, we brothers will all have a sweet taste!”
The boy kept struggling, but it was useless. He couldn't break free from the burly man's rough embrace. It was a waste of energy. Leng Shuiyun couldn't stand it anymore and gave up on watching.
Suddenly, a burst of arrogant and sarcastic laughter was heard. The burly man immediately stopped touching the boy and looked around uneasily, but there was no one there." Who is it? Come out if you dare!"”
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind swept past. Leng Shuiyun picked up the burly man with her left hand and threw him away. At the same time, she held the unconscious boy with her right hand and slowly landed on the side.
The lackeys who were originally jeering saw their big brother being swept up and thrown out by a gust of wind. They could not help but be stunned and stood rooted to the ground without reacting.
The burly man fell heavily to the ground and grunted. After a moment, he recovered slightly and slowly got up from the ground. Seeing that his underlings were still standing there like fools, he cursed," Why are you standing there like fools? Come over and help me up."”
The group of people who had been woken up by the burly man's scolding swarmed over to check on his injuries.
Leng Shuiyun placed the boy on the ground and looked at him carefully. He was only a little over ten years old, not too old. His hair was messy, his body was naked, and his fair skin was covered in bruises. However, there were still traces of filth and blood on his skin. What kind of treatment had he received? A group of people torturing a child like this was inhumane and unforgivable. There was no need for them to live. This was Leng Shuiyun's conclusion.
The burly man was supported by his subordinates and was about to curse at the person who dared to meddle in his business. Before he could say anything, he met Leng Shuiyun's furious gaze. The burly man swallowed a mouthful of saliva. This, this exquisite and peerless beauty had a pair of round eyes that were extremely cute. However, he did not sense Shen Ren's killing intent.
Leng Shuiyun felt a chill run down her spine. The burly man was smiling at her in a daze. Not only was his face full of lust, but he was also drooling.
The burly man rubbed his hands. He was so lucky today. Not only had he just played with a little boy, but he had also immediately sent him such a beauty. Thank the heavens.
"Little beauty, please obey me." After saying that, he ignored the pain in his body and pounced forward.
Leng Shuiyun kicked him in the stomach." Go to hell!”
The man who was kicked away crashed into a tree and fell. He spat out a mouthful of blood and stood up shakily. He shouted at his subordinates," Catch her! Brothers, go!"”
Leng Shuiyun stood up and went up to them. In a few moves, she beat the hooligans up. They wailed on the ground. Some of them saw that Leng Shuiyun was difficult to deal with and turned to the unconscious boy lying behind them. Seeing this, the few people lying on the ground also got up and started a new round of fighting.
Leng Shuiyun turned around and hugged the boy in her arms before those people. There were more than a dozen people on the other side, and there were even two or three who were quite skilled. She was alone, and the situation was gradually reversed. She could not take care of herself, but she still had to take care of an injured child.
Almost every knife and every punch was aimed at the boy in her arms. She barely dodged the punches and blocked another person's knife with her left arm. The blade was less than three inches away from her face. She retracted her gaze and kicked the lower body of the man in front of her. She was ruthless and fast. A wail resounded through the forest and shook the birds perched on the trees.
Leng Shuiyun carried the boy and slowly retreated, her left hand secretly moving. The burly man brought his underlings and surrounded them in the middle.
Leng Shuiyun's furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on her lips. Her smile carried a hint of evil, as if she was saying that someone was about to be unlucky. He pressed the boy's head against his chest without leaving a trace. At the same time, he held his breath. A handful of white powder spread in the air, floating with a strange fragrance.
The burly man was the first to understand what this fragrance meant. It's poison…" The last syllable was still in his mouth, but he could no longer make a sound.
Leng Shuiyun calmly glanced at the dozen or so corpses on the ground, sneered, and left with the boy. She didn't care that she had poisoned more than ten people, because they were really guilty of heinous crimes.
When she returned to her original spot, the Bright Mountain Sect disciple she had followed had already left. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she cursed her bad luck. She looked at the boy in her arms again. Since she had lost him, she might as well make arrangements for the little fellow first.
Pulling Dark Cloud over, he mounted the horse and placed him in front of him, holding him with one hand. He tightened the reins with one hand and instructed Dark Cloud to run steadily and take care of the injured.
After running for a while, he finally saw a farmer's house at the end of the forest.
An old couple heard some noise outside the door. The old man opened the door and saw a young woman with messy hair and tattered clothes. She was holding a sleeping boy in her arms. The boy looked even more miserable. The old man had obviously guessed what had happened to them. It was not that he did not want to help them, but he did not want to get into trouble.
Just as the door was about to close, the woman stretched out her hand to stop him. The boy was left on the cold ground behind her.
The old man looked at the woman in front of him in shock. Her tears fell drop by drop, and she sobbed as she begged him to save the siblings. The woman came out and kindly led them into the house.
The old woman had prepared new clothes for her to wash up and take off her dirty clothes. She prepared a set of boy's clothes, clean water, injury medicine, and cotton cloth to clean the boy's wound, but was stopped by the woman. She insisted on cleaning the boy's wound herself. The old woman could not say anything and could only let her do as she pleased.
She slowly and carefully tried not to wake him up in pain, using the gentlest movements to clean his wounds and dirty lower body. No matter how slow or gentle it was, it still made the boy moan in pain. When everything was cleaned up, the original clear water was emitting a faint red color. She helped him put on clean clothes, covered him with the blanket, and walked out of the house.
The old couple sat on the chair and looked at her. He stepped forward to bow and said politely," Thank you for taking us in. If it weren't for you, what would we have done?”
She sobbed as she spoke, making people feel sorry for her. The old woman asked," What happened to you?”
Looking at the clothes she took off, although they were tattered, it was still obvious that they were high-quality brocade and expensive. They were not children from ordinary families.
"We siblings were originally children of a wealthy family in the capital. Something happened in the family, and only the two of us were left. We had no choice but to seek refuge with our uncle. When we went to that forest, we encountered bandits. Not only did we rob them of our money, but they also took a fancy to our appearance and wanted to…to bully us. My daughter learned some martial arts and escaped from them. After that, she looked around for my brother who was taken away. His health had been poor since he was young, and his parents did not let him practice martial arts. When I found him, he was thrown into the depths of the forest, and only a trace of his breath remained." It's me…I didn't protect him well…It's all my fault…I didn't dare to think about what happened to my brother…I didn't want to think about it…until I cleaned his body just now…" By the end of her sentence, she had already stopped crying. She covered her face with her hand, and her words were filled with deep self-blame. The old woman hugged her in front of her chest and comforted her. After a while, the crying became softer and only sobbed from time to time. Only then did she realize that she had fallen asleep.
She was moved into the room and laid down on the bed. The door was closed and the footsteps were far away. The woman opened her big eyes and turned to look at the unconscious boy. He had fair and delicate skin, delicate eyebrows, double eyelids, big eyes, a high nose bridge, and small red lips. He was really beautiful. No wonder he encountered such a thing.
She lifted the boy's chin with her right index finger, revealing the purplish-red mark on the left side of his neck. She suddenly had an urge to go back to the forest and gather the corpses together, then whip them!
Coincidentally, the boy opened his eyes and gradually woke up. Then, he saw her angry eyes and shrank into the corner in fear. Realizing that she had scared him, she opened her arms and pulled him back into her arms. She gently stroked his hair and told him in a gentle and convincing tone," It's okay, it's okay. Don't be afraid."”
The boy stopped struggling and lay in her arms, feeling at ease. He wanted to ask the question in his heart, but he was helpless. His voice broke from his previous shout and he couldn't speak. Leng Shuiyun looked at his confused eyes and asked for him," You want to know who I am, right?"”
