MTL - Forced To Survive-Chapter 18 With only your hands tied... you can still run...
At that time, it was almost dusk, and the clouds in mid-air appeared a thick golden orange color, like sweet and soft sweet potatoes after baking.
Yun Ranran took the end of the hairband and pulled it forward, the boy staggered a step and fell in front of her. He gave her a hard look, and she smiled and said, "Come on, or you won't be able to keep up."
The boy was angry for a long time, but finally compromised, and moved closer to her.
What Yun Ranran was thinking about was the death of the little girl. Judging from everything she had experienced, if she found someone, it would be of great help.
Thinking of this, she pulled an elderly man by the hand, and used branches on the ground to outline the general shape of a house, just like the little girl's house in the death fragments.
The uncle looked at the sidewalk, this is Changyun Street on the outskirts of the city, and the houses there all look like this.
Yun Ranran asked again, has there been any major case there recently?
The uncle was confused and replied no.
Yun Ranran thought that the matter of children killing their fathers and mothers would be uproarious no matter what, it was unreasonable not to know, but he didn't ask too much, and quickly rushed to Changyun Street with Xiaoqi, where dozens of tile-roofed houses were connected together, many The people shuttled among them.
She then asked a few people whether there had been any major incidents of killing fathers and mothers recently, and everyone said no, saying that Changyun Street has always been calm, not to mention killing fathers and mothers, and no one stole the chickens outside.
This is strange, Yun Ranran has no choice but to search one by one according to her memory, the house here is much more dilapidated than in the illusion, when she found the last one, she saw a woman wearing a linen skirt, At this age, he was carrying a bucket of starched laundry and hanging it on a rack in the yard.
There it was, the very house she was looking for, where the young woman who called her Aunt lived next door to the little girl's.
The house was exactly the same as the one she had seen in the dead pieces, but why the wrong people lived in it?
Why an elderly woman? Could it be the mother-in-law or mother of the woman in the red dress?
Puzzled in her heart, she stepped forward, and the older woman happened to raise her face, she was startled, then froze.
What is it about this woman who has the exact same face as a young woman?
She coughed lightly and called out, "Auntie, can I ask you something?"
The woman was still holding the clothes to dry in her hands. Hearing her call, she raised her eyes and felt a little at a loss.
Yun Ranran took out some broken silver and put it in her palm, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Auntie, I have no malicious intentions, I just want to know something clearly, so I won't cause trouble for Auntie."
Seeing how cute she was, the woman nodded hesitantly when she smiled.
Yun Ranran looked to her left side, it was empty, only a few broken bricks and tiles, but it could barely be seen that it used to be a house.
"Auntie, where did the person next door go?"
Hearing this, the woman's face changed in an instant, and she trembled for a long time before whispering, "It's a crime."
Yun Ranran asked cautiously, "Auntie, what happened?"
The woman sighed and said, "The little **** killed both Uncle Chen and Aunt Zhang, and treated her so well, yet he did something inferior to a beast."
This woman really knows, Yun Ranran hurriedly asked: "But I just asked everyone, and everyone said they have never heard of it, what's going on?"
The woman said: "Oh, because this happened earlier, more than ten years ago, it's normal for them not to know. I, I have frequent contacts with Aunt Zhang on weekdays, so I always remember it."
A dozen years ago?
No wonder…
Then this older woman is the woman in the red dress who talked to her in the death fragments.
She immediately said: "Auntie, please tell me in detail."
The older woman still turns pale when she thinks about that incident.
"That little **** is not a good thing. He came from a monster. I told you earlier, but my aunt didn't listen. I lost my life for nothing. It's really not worth it."
Then she rambled on from the beginning.
It turned out that more than ten years ago, Taihua City suffered a catastrophe, and the city was almost destroyed.
At that time, the Demon Cultivator of the Banyue Gate suddenly had a stunning genius, his cultivation level skyrocketed, and he became ambitious immediately, urging a large number of monsters to sneak across the river and come to attack the city.
Taihua City was caught off guard and fell into a hard fight. Although it resisted desperately, the crazy demon repaired the gate and broke into the city.
A large number of people were slaughtered, many children were taken away, and the city was wailing.
Fortunately, Taihuazong sent a large number of disciples in time to finally defend the city and slaughter the demon cultivators.
After the situation stabilized, a group of Taihua monks went to Banyue Gate to rescue the abducted child.
Herein lies the problem.
Those children who were brought back were all branded with the Demon Sect brand, and had a high probability of being transformed into Demon Sect monsters.
For the safety of the people, the monks of Taihua did not dare to send these children into the city rashly. After reporting to the sect, the sect meant to exterminate them directly.
But someone disagreed, and the monks quarreled. One monk said, these are children, they are innocent, and it is too cruel to directly deprive them of their lives. They should be sent to the city. He promises that they will be fine. What responsibility do they have? He took it upon himself.
Many people were persuaded by him, but they all forgot that this kind of thing was unprecedented, so how could he guarantee it.
In the end, these children successfully entered the city under the leadership of the monk. Those children looked gloomy, and everyone was quite afraid. Later, under the constant lobbying of the monk, everyone relaxed and gradually forgot those warnings .
Later, the monk became more daring, and he began to threaten that some children had been cured by him and would no longer be at risk of demonization, hoping that these children could be adopted.
Although he was very provocative, there was always a gap between everyone. At this time, a couple stepped forward. They were two well-known kind people in the neighborhood, Uncle Chen and Aunt Zhang, who were kind-hearted and gentle.
The two expressed their willingness to give it a try. If successful, I hope everyone can let go of their prejudice against children.
In a few days, Adin was delivered.
The little girl was normal at first, but then it became more and more weird, and gradually became more gloomy.
Then something like that happened, she demonized and killed the couple.
Everything became chaotic and out of hand, and everyone felt sorry for this kind couple.
And only then did they know that the monk who swore to them had never come into contact with such children, and the reason why he forcibly brought the children into the city was simply because he couldn't bear to lose their lives at such a young age.
I couldn't bear it but I didn't have the ability, so I boasted.
Knowing that there is a risk of demonization, the Holy Mother asks everyone to trust and accept these children.
Incompetent kindness is sometimes more terrifying than evil.
It was because of trusting him that the kind couple accepted the child, but they were killed in the end.
The children he said he wanted to protect were also strangled to death by the monks because of this incident.
When the woman finished all this, her eyes were full of regret and melancholy.
After Yun Ranran finished listening, she also felt a little depressed. She thanked her aunt and dropped another ingot of silver.
This monk is probably what Uncle Chen called "the little fairy who brought the little girl here", but how should I put it, it is really hard to sympathize.
Even if she had entered the illusion, got the incense in the firewood room, and knew that there was something wrong with A-Ding's demonization, so what?
Isn't Adin demonized yet?
Even if the demonization is due to external stimuli, isn't this one of the reasons for demonization? Who can live a lifetime without disease and disaster? How much must be stimulated.
Isn't it his fault that he sent a child to an ordinary family when he was still unstable, and ended up being demonized and killed?
Where is he kind, it's just hypocrisy.
Such a thing, such behavior, really made her feel bad.
At this moment, the woman's son came back with a few pheasants. He was strong and dark-skinned.
He saw the three of them talking, he looked a little hesitant, and finally said nothing, turned and went back to the room.
Yun Ranran thanked her aunt, and took Xiaoqi back to Changfu.
It seemed that the child riding on Chang Yuan's head was indeed A Ding, but she still couldn't figure out why A Ding was attached to Chang Yuan. Chang Yuan seemed to have nothing to do with this matter.
Wait a minute, she recalled that little brother Tanghulu once said that the eldest son of the Changfu family joined the Taihua Sect, and then she thought of the monk with the sword in Ading's dream, shouldn't it be the same person?
If it is a person, then he lures Ading to demonize him, and Ading takes revenge on Chang Yuan when he cannot find him, which is reasonable.
Maybe I have to go back to Taihuazong to inquire...
At this moment, the butler hurried over and said anxiously.
"Shangxian, my eldest son is back, the master invites you to come and have a gathering."
Yun Ranran was a little surprised, she didn't expect this person to come back, that was just right, she wanted to see her too, so she bid farewell to her aunt, took Xiaoqi back home, and brought him all the way to the living room with his face full of anger.
In the living room, Zaixing often sat drinking tea with a monk in white, and when he saw Yun Ranran, he stood up.
The monk looked up, a little surprised, and said, "Junior Sister Yun."
Yun Ranran also recognized him, Chang Lan, the direct disciple of Immortal Master Sword Holder, had seen him before in the sect, but he did not expect him to be the eldest son of the Chang family.
Chang Lan said with a smile: "I didn't expect that it was Junior Sister Yun who took care of my younger brother these few days. I'm sorry. I went to the sect to practice a few days ago. When I returned to the sect, I heard that my younger brother had an accident, so I hurried back. Now that I have returned , I can no longer make my junior sister work hard."
Oh, this is not to let her care, Yun Ranran understood.
Chang Lan said again: "Junior Sister can visit Taihua City for a few days. Recently, there will be a small auction in Fang City. Whatever Junior Sister is looking for, just bid it. I will prepare the spirit stone."
Yun Ranran thought, could this be a reward?
Will there be any good things suitable for you at the auction?
Suddenly a little heart...
Seeing her ignorant appearance, the young man on the side snorted coldly with disdain.
Since they didn't want her to take care of her, she also understood the ins and outs, and what A-Ding wanted was Chang Lan, and Chang Lan was back, and the two would meet soon, so it seemed that there was nothing wrong with her.
Going to the auction to spend a wave is also very good...
Thinking of this, he greeted Chang Lan and dragged the young man straight out.
But not long after going out, he was stopped in front of him by a strong man.
Strong build, dark skin.
Isn't this the son of the aunt I met just now?
The man scratched his hair, as if he didn't know where to start. After pondering for a while, he came up with a few words.
"He's not quite like that."
Yun Ranran was startled, who? The "good" monk who brought the children back?
The man has a simple and honest expression, not good at words.
"I don't know how to put it, but he's not that incompetent."
Yun Ranran said: "He is indeed kind, and he really had good intentions to save the children, but in the end he did something wrong."
The man said: "I know, I don't want to defend him, he should be punished."
He paused and looked at Yun Ranran.
"But I always feel that someone should understand him."
Yun Ranran didn't understand, this matter was already so clear, how to understand it.
The man finally shook his head helplessly, turned and left.
However, Yun Ranran lost the mood to play, and dragged Tian Yan around casually before returning to Changfu.
That night, she slept very restlessly intermittently, and she heard a child crying all the time, crying so miserably that she was very sad.
The crying was endless, as if there was no intention to stop, she sat up suddenly.
Listening carefully, there seemed to be a few vague words mixed in the child's cry, the wind was blowing too far, and it was hard to hear.
After thinking about it, she decided to go to Chang Yuan's door to listen.
Thinking of this, he got up and got out of bed, and was slightly taken aback when he saw Xiao Qi who was sleeping soundly on the ground.
Before going to bed last night, she didn't know what to do with Xiao Qi. After he pushed her, the boy had no trust in her heart.
Unexpectedly, the young man was angry with her, he didn't ask her to untie him at all, and just fell asleep on the soft cushion on the floor.
She crouched in front of him and pushed him.
He closed his eyes and said coldly: "Don't pretend to be kind, if you don't worry about it, I'll just sleep like this."
She said: "No...you just tied your hands...you can still run..."
The boy suddenly opened his eyes, angry...
She decided to trust him, and finally did not tie him up again.
But now that she was going out, she would be furious if she tied him up now, but if she didn't tie her up, she would be afraid that he would run away.
So she thought about it, knelt down and patted his face.
"Xiao Qi, get up and go out to play."
The young man was suddenly awakened by the patting, and when he saw her approaching Chi Chi's face, his hair exploded and he glared at her viciously.
Yun Ranran said innocently: "I just want to take you out to play, the moonlight is good."
The young man looked at the dark outside, his small face was jet-black with anger.
Yun Ranran gently tugged at the rope, so he could only sit up and stare at her like a ghost in the dark.
Yun Ranran was taken aback by him, but right now she couldn't care less, her crying had become weaker and weaker, she was afraid that she would not be able to hear her even if she went too late, so she dragged Xiao Qi out of the door.
The boy was so angry that he was speechless.
He closed his eyes and opened them again, a huge fire in his chest.
Hold back and wait for him to go back!
Calm down, wait for him to go back!
The mentality has been jumping back and forth between explosions and more explosions.
In this way, they finally arrived at Chang Yuan's courtyard. Yun Ranran took the boy up to the roof, and sat with him on the ridge of Chang Yuan's bedroom.
The cry was very clear here.
After a while, the vague words reappeared intermittently.
Yun Ranran pricked up her ears and finally heard those words clearly.
