The two of them were heading south when they suddenly saw the sky gradually darken and a cold wind and rain gradually rose.
Rumble! Rumble! The sound of thunder was faint, coming closer and closer. With a "ka" sound, it suddenly exploded above his head.
The two of them quickly bent over and held their heads, trying their best to open their wet eyes and find a place to shelter from the rain.
At this moment, the rain began to pour down. The cold rain was accompanied by strong winds and lightning. It splashed and wreaked havoc, and the dirty water was soon enough to cover their feet.
The two of them leaned against each other tightly, squeezed under the protruding stone, and tried their best to avoid the cold rain. It was only until the dark sky was over that it slowly turned into a drizzle.
The two of them were in a sorry state until the rain and wind blew lightly before they slowly crawled out from under the rock. Standing in the water that soaked their knees, the cold wind hit their bodies. The two of them trembled as they looked at the green mountains and beautiful waters yesterday, and now it had become a dirty country.
Heavens! He really wanted to cry but had no tears.
Gradually, the rain stopped and the wind stopped. The two of them hurriedly found high ground to avoid the water. Fortunately, Qiao Xinghu was a hunter and could still light a fire. He was able to dry his clothes and avoid the cold from entering his body.
The two of them sat in the rocks on a slightly higher ground, surrounded by the dying Wildfire. The night that devoured people once again enveloped them.
Qiao Xinghu looked outside the pile of rocks at the ferocious beast that was baring its teeth and pacing back and forth. He felt a little uneasy, but when he thought of Qiao Xuan's peculiarity, he could not help but feel a little relieved. However, the tremors that came from the ground from time to time made him worry that the ground would tear open again.
The two of them were muddle-headed. They had just survived the miserable night when they were woken up by the sun. Looking at the dazzling light, the two of them quickly stood up and moved their numb legs while rubbing their faces to wake up. Then, they continued to walk south.
The two of them stepped on the dirty mud and water, laboriously staggering forward. Not long after, they saw a lot of rotten grass in front of them being stepped into the mud.
The two of them could not help but speed up their pace. After another half a day, they finally caught up with the fleeing crowd.
At this moment, a tall middle-aged man turned around and saw two children, one tall and one short. They caught up with him and saw them walking barefoot on the rotten grass and mud. Their ankles and rolled up trousers were covered in mud, and their clothes were dirty.
The middle-aged man couldn't help but feel a tightness in his chest. He looked up at the sky and shouted,"God, what a sin! Sin…!" After shouting these few words, he felt his chest relax a little and shouted again,"Two children, wait a moment!"
When Qiao Xuan saw the middle-aged man shouting, he quickly pulled Qiao Xinghu, who was in front of him, and asked reservedly,""Uncle, what's the matter?"
Qiao Xinghu, on the other hand, looked at the other party vigilantly.
The middle-aged man quickly took out two steamed buns and handed them over calmly. He said kindly,"Don't be afraid, child. Take it over and eat it!”
Qiao Xuan glanced at Qiao Xinghu. He wanted to take it but didn't dare to.
When the people around saw this, they said," We are also refugees. You two are so pitiful. Don't be afraid. Take it!"”
Qiao Xuan hurriedly wiped his hands with the corner of his clothes before he stepped forward and bowed to receive the bun with both hands. However, before he could hold it firmly, he felt that his hands were empty and it was snatched away by the youth who slid past him.
"Uncle, we can't even eat our fill, and you're still helping outsiders. Are you trying to starve us to death?”The young man held two steamed buns in his hands and asked in a hooligan tone.
"Presumptuous! Zhao Man, return it to them immediately." The middle-aged man shouted.
"I won't call you uncle. You've really grown a face. Zhao Kui, I told you to side with outsiders." Zhao Man, who was full of ruffians, shouted as he tried to stuff the steamed bun into his mouth.
Qiao Xinghu suddenly rushed forward and snatched the steamed bun back. He turned around and stuffed it into Qiao Xuan's hands. When he saw Zhao Man chasing after him, he turned around and started wrestling with him.
Qiao Xuan quickly shouted,"We don't want it anymore. Stop fighting!"”
Then, when he saw a few dubious people walking over, Qiao Xuan hurriedly shouted again,""Uncle Zhao, quickly get someone to pull them apart. Stop fighting!”
Zhao Kui saw how anxious the child was and quickly called out to the people behind him to pull the two people away from each other.
Qiao Xinghu did not say a word. He raised his eyebrows and glared at Zhao Man. However, Zhao Man struggled and wanted to pull out his arms while shouting and cursing.
Seeing that Qiao Xinghu was fine, Qiao Xuan hurriedly handed the steamed bun back.
Zhao Kui looked at the miserable clansmen and only reached out to take one back.
Qiao Xuan hurriedly carried the remaining steamed buns and kowtowed on one knee. He got up and pulled Qiao Xinghu to the south.
As the two of them hurried away, they shared the steamed buns. Qiao Xuan said,""Brother Xinghu, it's fine if the steamed buns are gone. Don't fight with others!”
Qiao Xinghu frowned and said,"That thief is arrogant!" In this chaotic world, being gentle and refined was useless. To these people, reason had to be spoken with fists.”
Qiao Xuan frowned slightly. Although he didn't quite agree, he still said,""I don't want you to get hurt!" Then, he fell silent.
The two of them didn't say anything and continued their journey. They saw that sometimes, there were no humans or beasts in the hundreds of miles they passed. It was empty and desolate. Sometimes, there were bones everywhere. The spring moon was high in the sky, and the ghost fire was faint. It was extremely miserable and gloomy. They were so scared that they had to find a group to live in every night. They walked in a sorry state for more than four days.
On this day, the night was getting darker. From time to time, wild beasts would pounce into the crowd and take away those who could not avoid it, eating them not far away.
A group of people at the very edge vaguely noticed that the wild beast had actually taken a detour. Although this group of people was surprised, they were also extremely afraid and nervous. They really did not have the strength to think too much.
Qiao Xinghu, who was nestled in the crowd, nudged Qiao Xuan with his shoulder and pouted, meaning that this bunch of people was all thanks to him.
Qiao Xuan merely rolled his eyes weakly. He suddenly realized that the moonlight had suddenly become even dimmer. Not only did the night sky become extremely dark, but it also made him feel even more uneasy!
Everyone also noticed that the night was getting darker, and their hearts were filled with fear. The ferocious beasts were also deeply frightened.
Suddenly, a demonic wind blew, and evil energy filled the air. The wild beasts immediately howled in pain as they madly ran away. This demonic wind caused everyone to tremble, and the clouds gradually covered Qi Yue.
Suddenly, a monster appeared. Its hair hung from its head and its eyes were emitting an evil light. It fell from the sky straight into the crowd. With a "pu pu" and "gu dong" sound, it trampled many refugees to death.
The demon blinked its red eyes and waved its claws, picking and choosing among the crowd.
At this moment, everyone was already suppressed by the demonic qi. They could not make a sound or use any strength. They could only open their eyes and wait for death obediently.
The demon ate while picking. He bit a head and felt his mouth ache. His body was thrown on the ground, twitching. He ate an arm and scratched his teeth in disgust. His broken body fell into the ground, howling and rolling.
If they could swallow the whole thing alive, the refugees would be merciful to the demon.
The demon claw quickly pulled Qiao Xinghu up and rubbed him back and forth. He felt that his muscles were strong and chewy. Just as he was about to put it into his mouth, he felt a slight vibration in his hand.
It turned out that Qiao Xinghu had just been grabbed by the demon. Qiao Xuan immediately jumped up and hugged Brother Xinghu without thinking. He wanted to pull Brother Xinghu out of the demon's claws, so he ignored the buzzing in his mind.
The demon glanced sideways and saw that there was actually a person hanging there. He was surprised that there was really someone who wanted to die. When he took a closer look, his claws were sore from fear.
Qiao Xuan and Qiao Xinghu immediately fell to the ground.
The demon screamed in fright and fled in fear, attracting the attention of the other demons. They were so frightened that they revealed their true forms and fled while rolling and howling.
The cold wind blew, and the evil aura of the demonic clouds quickly dispersed. The waning moon was still neither dead nor alive, hanging weakly in the western sky.
Everyone had just recovered from their fear and had yet to celebrate their survival when a nearby busybody pointed at Qiao Xuan and the other man and shouted,""It was these two children who scared the demons away. They must have some kind of treasure to ward off evil spirits.”
When everyone heard that there were treasures, they quickly surrounded Qiao Xuan and the other man, shouting randomly,""What treasures? Hurry up and take it out for everyone to see!”
Qiao Xuan was so frightened that he waved his hands and kept shouting,""We don't have any treasures, so don't listen to that person's nonsense. We don't know why the demon ran away.”
Qiao Xinghu knew that Xuanzi had saved him, but he would never betray his brother. Seeing that everyone seemed to have bad intentions, his face darkened and he did not say a word.
"And you said there were no treasures. I was curious at that time. Why did the wild beasts avoid you guys? Just now, the monster was scared away by the fact that it had eaten you guys. Now that this tall child did not say anything, wasn't this obviously a tacit agreement?”
The fierce-looking fellow raised his torch and shouted while spraying foam. He violently pushed through the crowd and walked in domineeringly. Then, he waved his arm. A few people rushed out from behind and blocked Qiao Xuan and his companion.
Qiao Xinghu hurriedly resisted fiercely, but he could not shake off the two strong men.
At this moment, a skinny man hurriedly stepped forward and searched Qiao Xuan and the other man, but he did not find anything strange. He carefully reported,""Boss, there's nothing on these two kids.”
"Hahaha!" With a trembling smile, he pushed the skinny man away roughly and came in front of Qiao Xinghu. He patted Qiao Xinghu's shoulder and said,"Look at you, you look like a wild man. Hand over the treasure obediently and I'll let you join us. From now on, you'll eat big mouthfuls of meat and drink big bowls of wine.”
Qiao Xinghu was just about to refute when he saw another group of people swarming in from the other side.
The leader of the group had a red face and no beard. He straightened his lean body and sneered,"Qian Biao, you're getting more and more useless. You actually deceived two little kids who could barely tie up a chicken.”
Qian Biao saw him making fun of him and was so angry that his muscles trembled. He shouted angrily,"Sun Kuang, you're looking for trouble for no reason. Are you also thinking about the child's treasure?”
"Of course." The lean Sun Kuang replied without hiding anything. He looked at Qiao Xinghu and said,"Child, give me the treasure and I'll ensure your safety. I'm not someone who only knows how to cheat children with food.”
"Ha…Pah!" Qian Biao's body trembled violently. He wiped his mouth and shouted,"They are in my hands. How can you guarantee their safety? Tell me, you cunning bastard!"
Sun Kuang saw that this man surnamed Qian had exposed his words, and he was not afraid that others would see that he was blushing. He shouted fiercely,"Cut the crap. We have more people than you. Even if we find the treasure, you can forget about taking it away.”
Qiao Xinghu saw the stalemate and was about to admit that he was a treasure and had nothing to do with Qiao Xuan when Qiao Xuan shouted,""Let us go first, and I will hand over the treasure.”
Qian Biao narrowed his eyes at Qiao Xuan and said,""Looks like you know what's good for you. Let them go!”He waved his hand forcefully.
A few strong men pushed and let go of the two of them. Qiao Xuan fell to the ground and everyone laughed.
Qiao Xinghu hurriedly squatted down and pulled Qiao Xuan down. Qiao Xuan took advantage of the darkness to scoop up a small stone from the ground and tightly grasped it. Then, he followed Qiao Xinghu's pull and got up.
Qiao Xuan stood firmly and saw that the two groups of strong people were looking at him. He hurriedly said,""I'll go get the treasure now." Then, he stepped back. Seeing that Qian Biao was about to speak, he quickly revealed a bashful expression.
Then, he slowly turned the hand that was holding the stone behind him and slowly inserted it into his pants from the back of his waist. Then, he pretended to move his fingers and pretended to cry out in pain.
When everyone saw this child doing this, they subconsciously covered their noses and turned their heads, feeling really disgusted.
Qiao Xuan quickly pulled his arm out and pretended to tilt his head. He stretched out his clenched hand and shouted,""The treasure is here. Who should I give it to?”
Qian Biao felt disgusted. He kicked the skinny man beside him and pointed at Qiao Xuan.
