Chapter 422 Love Brother
Bei Aozhou, Changshan City.
The lead-gray sky was pressed very low, and the broken city walls were covered with spider-web-like cracks, and the wind whimpered like a sob as it passed by.
The twelve-year-old Ajiu pressed his sister Aying tightly in his arms, and the two curled up under a collapsed temple shrine.
As poor, they did not know who the immortal was enshrined here, but Ajiu knew that the idea of believing that the immortals would bless them was as fragile as this statue.
The statue of the immortal had long been broken into two pieces, half of his compassionate face leaning against the broken tiles, and his empty eye sockets were facing the direction of the surging black fog outside the city. "Brother...I'm hungry..." A Ying's voice was as thin as a mosquito, and his cracked lips rubbed against A Jiu's clothes. A faded red rope tied to her wrist was the last thing that my mother left when she sent them here with her life.
Their mother actually didn't believe in the so-called blessings of immortals, but she had no other choice when she was desperate.
Two days ago, a city in Changshan City, which is not remote in Beiaozhou, suddenly broke out with an unimaginable evil frenzy. They came from nowhere and swept across the entire city in an instant. The monks died in battle and civilians died tragically. Survivors tried to gather together to wait for the arrival of reinforcements, but two days have passed and the evil tide here remains.
Ajiu swallowed his saliva, and his throat felt like a fire. They haven't eaten a grain of rice for two days, and even the moss in the corners of the wall has been snatched clean. The crisp sound of bones shattering came from afar, mixed with the sticky sound of evil spirits swallowing flesh and blood. He gritted his teeth, and the cold sweat from his palm soaked his cuffs - it was the trace of his sister being stabbed by a wooden thorn on the night before, when she tore off the hem of her clothes and bandaged her.
"Hold on." Ajiu whispered against Aying's ear, gently stroked her hair like a dead grass with her fingertips, "When the moon climbs to the top of the statue's head, I will take you to find something to eat."
Aying buried her head in her bent knees and nodded. She has always been an extremely obedient child. Even if she really wants something, she will not speak to her mother and brother.
She has always been an extremely intelligent child. She would take the initiative to say that she was hungry because she knew that her brother was hungry than her. If she said that her brother would eat something, she would not take her away even if she starved to death.
At midnight, the long street is like a grave.
Ajiu led Aying to snakes among the broken walls and ruins. The rotten mist stuck to her skin, and every step was like stepping in a pile of corpses.
His heartbeat roared in his chest like a drum, and his ears were straight, catching any slight movement around him. The rotten mist wrapped around their ankles like life, as if countless thin hands would stretch out from the darkness at any time and drag them into the abyss.
"Brother..." A Ying's voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible. Her fingers tightly clutched Ajiu's sleeves, as if she was grabbing the last life-saving straw.
"Don't be afraid, follow me." Ajiu responded in a low voice, hoarse but firm, "Don't look at them, go your own way..."
This is the rule he vaguely touched by taking risks several times. The more they are afraid and panic they are, the more fiercely these ghosts and monsters will chase and bite more fiercely. If you restrain your reactions, sometimes they will turn a blind eye to it.
But this is not absolute. He had looked at the evil spirit who let him go with his own eyes. He was very sure that the evil spirit was not not seeing him, but because he did not arouse the other party's interest at all. But not all evil spirits have no interest in his dry flesh and blood without any mysterious qi.
So his eyes quickly scanned the darkness, trying to find a relatively safe path.
The houses on both sides of the long street have long collapsed. Occasionally, a few incomplete corpses can be seen among the ruins. Some have rotted, while others seem to have just been torn apart and the blood has not dried up.
Ajiu did not choose to search in the homes of these wealthy families, because these rich people hid food and money better than life, and he did not dare to stay outside for too long. He needed to go to a place where there would be food - the home of the charitable city lord.
The red painted door of the city lord's mansion is half open, and a piece of intestine is hung on the door knocker, which sways and sways when the wind blows.
Ajiu held Aying's hand tightly, her fingertips were cold, but fine beads of sweat oozed out of her palm. He took his sister carefully to search everywhere, as if he was racing against time.
"There is a rice jar!" A Ying suddenly tightened her brother's sleeves, and her dirty little face burst out with glory.
The corner of the treasury was tilted, and the mouth of the urn was covered with a spider web, and when it was lifted, it raised a choking ashes. Ajiu trembled and reached in, touching a few shriveled grains of wheat with his fingertips.
He suddenly remembered that when the City Lord's Mansion gave them all millet to the poor, but the rice jar of wheat in the City Lord's Mansion was filled with dust, which meant that they could not finish eating the good rice, but they would rather put it here and rot than give it to them, the poor.
He secretly gritted his teeth and spat, tearing the good image of the city lord in his heart to pieces. He immediately grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his sister's palm, but he pressed the hollowed-out stomach bag tighter.
"A Ying, eat quickly. If your stomach is stuffed, we will take a part of it away!"
"Brother, you eat too..." A Ying tiptoed to feed the mai rice to his mouth.
Before the speech was finished, the wood chips suddenly exploded on the beams above the head!
A splatter-like evil spirit that swollen like a ball hits the ground, and its purple skin is covered with pustules, and each pustule is embedded with half a twisted fish face. It had no eyes, a serrated mouthpiece was cracked on its abdomen, and mucus drips made pungent white smoke on the blue bricks.
The broken wooden beam was almost inserted into Ajiu's body. The brother and sister, who were only eleven or eleven years old, were immediately scared and collapsed on the ground. A Ying was trembling all over, but A Jiu made a quick decision and stood up suddenly.
"Run!"
Ajiu pushed his sister suddenly towards the door, and picked up half of the wood and crossed it in front of his chest. This strange beast-shaped evil spirit was only one distance away from him. The fish faces in the pustules all screamed like babies, and the fish's lips opened and closed, as if they were about to explode.
A Ying staggered and fell outside the threshold. When she turned around, she saw her brother being dragged towards the huge mouth of the abyss. She grabbed the tiles at her hand and threw them hard, but the broken porcelain hit the evil spirit and turned into powder. "Run!"
Ajiu, who was about to be swallowed into the evil spirit's belly, suppressed his voice without roaring or crying, because he knew that any huge sound might attract the attention of other evil spirits to his sister.
A Ying's mind was blank at this time, and her face was as bad as she could only watch the only relative in the world being swallowed into the tiger's mouth.
"Bang!"
A loud bang suddenly exploded in the yard, and Ajiu fell heavily to the ground.
He had not yet had time to react to the severe pain on his body, but he saw the swelling evil spirit suddenly shrinking like a deflated person, and his sticky body collapsed to the ground like a shed snake skin.
A Ying was overjoyed and rushed to her brother, "It's brother who killed it!" Ajiu gave the answer with a blank expression. He looked at the shriveled corpse on the ground and shook his head.
In a blink of an eye, the evil spirit turned into a pool of pus and gushed into the cracks of the bricks. What made Ajiu and Aying widen their eyes were that after the corpse turned into water, two figures hugging each other were exposed!
A Ying was immediately frightened by the scene and grabbed her brother's cuffs tightly. Ajiu's throat was so sweet that he gently pressed his sister's hand.
He guessed that this must be the poor man who was swallowed by this evil spirit before him. He mustered up the courage, blew the fire broker between the thick collar, and swept it over tremblingly.
With the firelight, I saw the winding bamboo leaves on the woman's blue skirt. It was said that it was a woman. Judging from her body shape and childishness on her face, it was not much different from her sister, so she called her a girl. The man was very long and wearing a black long suit, tightly protecting the girl who was much thinner than him.
"Is this... a fairy couple?"
A Ying was stunned and approached half a step closer. Just at a glance, she was robbed of her sight by the shocking appearance of these two fainted people. In her lack of dictionary, only the word "god" could describe these two people.
What made Ah Jiu's eyes flash was not their faces, but the couple, who had a big gap in body shape, had their lips and teeth stuck together and breathing, as if even death could not separate the pair. He was amazed at the depth of the friendship between the couple, as if he had seen him die in the mouth of evil spirits, but his sister would not be with him because he would let her live.
The shadow spread across the wall at this moment, attracting other evil spirits not Ajiu's roar, but the explosion of the evil spirit in the shape of the sword.
The three-meter-high spider-shaped evil spirit hangs from the beam, and the eight compound eyes reflect the terrified faces of the brother and sister.
This time, A Ying's reaction was faster than his brother! She rushed forward without hesitation and pushed her lost brother away!
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
The moment when the spider-shaped evil sickle-shaped front limbs slashed at A Ying's back heart, A Jiu realized how stupid he was to think about it at this time. Despair wrapped him tightly like silk, and the pair of "gods" lying on the ground on the side suddenly opened their eyes-
You Su's Mo Song sword was unsheathed like a dragon's roar, and the sword energy split the spider's belly in half; Bai Ze's fingertips burst into ice lotus, and the bursting frost blade nail pierced the remaining seven eyes. When the pus and blood were poured down like a rainstorm, You Su turned his body to protect A Ying in his arms, and the black cloak was raised to cover all the filth.
"Finally come alive!" Bai Ze closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if feeling the beauty of life. She turned to Ajiu who was sitting on the ground and said hello with a smile: "Hello!"
After resurrecting, the girl who greeted her warmly shocked Ajiu's mind. The transparent ice crystal surrounded by the girl's fingers formed a weird contrast with the blood stains all over the ground, making him even ignore the cat-like meow in the girl's tail sound.
But Ajiu quickly came back to his senses, his eyes crossed the girl's shoulders, and looked at his safe and sound sister in You Su's arms. The boy's tense spine suddenly collapsed, and tears mixed with blood on his face hit the ground.
More rustling sounds came from the end of the long street. Bai Ze stood up and dusted his skirt, but the dirty mucus had already dyed her skirt dirty.
You Su took a sword flower and turned around and sent A Ying to A Jiu. "Thank you." You Su thanked you softly from the bottom of her heart and stretched out her hand to the boy who was sitting on the ground.
He and Bai Ze were tortured for no reason for how long they had been tortured in the dizziness, but they quickly judged the situation based on the surrounding environment. The evil spirits came out of the nest, which was what he expected.
What this brother did made him feel as if he was in Izumo Castle, so he looked at this boy who was much younger than him with praise and respect.
Ajiu stared at this young man who was covered in turbid objects but was extremely handsome. His sword skills just now proved that he must be a monk, but he could feel the respect given to him by the other party. This is a great luxury for a poor man who survived by chance in the city and the best affirmation.
He unconsciously puffed up his chest, and regardless of his sister's support, he forced himself to stand up, but his voice still revealed his mind:
"No, no thanks..."
A Ying clenched the corner of his brother's clothes, but Yu Guang kept glancing at the immortal who saved him. She suddenly felt that what her mother said was right - tied to life with a red rope, and there would be a god mercy in the end.
"Brother, they seem to recognize us..."
Bai Ze frowned and stared at the three evil spirits lurking on the beams of the house. The look they peeked at was no longer the look of looking at the same kind of eyes, but naked greed.
You Su of course also noticed the evil spirits who were eyeing him, "Well, send them to a safe place first."
He vibrated the Mo Song Sword, and the sword edge shook the air and made a buzzing sound. He was waking up the sleeping Mo Song Sword, and also waking himself up.
A Ying suddenly lost her mind when she heard this. She clearly saw these two gods kissing her when they were in a coma... She thought these two were lovers, but she didn't expect that they were brothers and sisters like her and her brother? !
But she didn't know that this was an emergency measure that You Su and Bai Ze had to take in the undersea vortex to share the ability to avoid water droplets...
A Jiu was not as sharp as his sister in this regard. He volunteered, "I know where to be safe!"
You Su glanced at him without a trace of hesitation, "Leading the way."
This unsuspecting trust made A Jiu feel hot and completely eliminated his doubts about the two of them.
Looking at the hands of the sister and the female fairy who looked harmless, he did not stop him, but just walked ahead first, "You follow me!"
You Su looked at the boy's back and was a little dazed, and then he asked Bai Ze to follow him, without any intention of letting the boy hide behind him. Because he did not think that the boy in front of him was weak, on the contrary, he believed that boys were stronger than many people with cultivation.
Ajiu led You Su and Bai Ze through the ruins, targeting the temple, with his steps light and firm. Although the roars of evil spirits spread one after another, he felt inexplicably at peace. Perhaps it was because of the existence of the two "gods" behind him, or perhaps it was because he felt the power of being trusted for the first time.
A Ying held Bai Ze's hand tightly, felt the warmth coming from her palm, and the fear in her heart gradually dissipated. She secretly looked up at Bai Ze and found that she was looking at her with a smile, her eyes as gentle as the spring sunshine. "What's your name?" Bai Ze asked softly, his voice as pleasant as a clear spring.
"A Ying..." A Ying answered timidly, his voice as thin as a mosquito.
"A Ying, it's such a nice name." Bai Ze smiled, "Don't be afraid, we are here, there will be no trouble."
A Ying nodded heavily, but suddenly another sound came from her ears. She looked at the girl who was as tall as hers, but the other party just smiled and did not open her mouth.
"You can't do that with a real brother... This person is my love brother."
