3075 I can’t take it anymore.
Ling Chuxi was a little surprised to see those small footprints. Could these be the footprints of the person who had “taken care” of his own people? Ling Chuxi pinched the worn-out handkerchief in her hand and placed it into her storage ring. Then, she walked in the direction of the footprints.
Ling Chuxi found something unusual. There were many plants in this forest that she had never seen before. However, there was nothing special about these plants. They were all very ordinary. There was no poison or medicine. This made Ling Chuxi a little suspicious. What kind of place had she come to?
After walking forward for about the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the trees in front of them began to become sparser, as if they were about to walk out of this forest. However, at this time, a burst of hurried footsteps and the sound of people quarreling came from far ahead. Although it was still very far away, Ling Chuxi’s hearing was different from that of ordinary people and she naturally heard it.
“Catch this bastard!”
“Kill him!”
“Still running? This time, when we catch you, we’ll kill you!”
“I broke your legs last time, and you still dare to come! This time, I’ll even break your other leg!”
……
When Ling Chuxi heard these words, she frowned slightly and increased her speed to run forward. Soon, she saw a group of people in simple clothes chasing after a little boy in even more tattered clothes, shouting and scolding. The little boy’s right foot seemed to be a little lame, but he was still running forward with all his might. However, he was being chased by a group of healthy adults. How could he outrun them?
Very quickly, the limping boy was caught up. The leader of the group of people chasing him was a burly man. He held a thick and large wooden stick in his hand. He looked at the little boy who was panting on the ground and was about to hit him with the stick without mercy. The boy didn’t cry or scream, but the stick didn’t land on him. The fiendish man screamed and fell backward, the stick in his hand flying out.
“Who’s there? Who’s that?” The burly man crawled up and cried out in panic.
“Let’s all go. ” At this moment, Ling Chuxi slowly walked over and said in a cold voice. She could tell that the group of people in front of her were just ordinary farmers, and they should not be living well. Most of them were dressed in linen, and their faces were green. Except for the burly man in the lead, who was a bit taller, the others were sallow and skinny. However, Ling Chuxi still could not bear to see such a young child being killed.
“You, who are you!” The burly man looked at Ling Chuxi who had suddenly appeared and felt a little afraid in his heart. He knew very well that the reason he had inexplicably flown out just now must have something to do with this young girl. Moreover, the current situation was really strange. They were in a poor and remote place, but there was actually a well-dressed, beautiful, and powerful young girl.
Ling Chuxi did not notice the little boy’s surprised and relieved expression when he saw her.
“Let’s all go. ” Ling Chuxi did not reply to the burly man’s words but continued to say these words indifferently.
“But, but this kid has stolen our food time and time again, how can we just let it go? We don’t have enough food to eat. ” The burly man gathered his courage and said. It wasn’t easy for them either. They didn’t have enough food every year, and sometimes they would even go hungry for a few meals.
Ling Chuxi did not doubt his words. These people must have been living in poverty. This little boy was probably a child who had no one to take care of him, so he stole other people’s food when he was hungry.
