"Okay, let's go home. Dad, can we go pick flowers on the mountain again?"
"If there's a chance, Dad will take Tongtong again."
"Dad will make a flower wreath for Mom too, so that Mom and I will both have beautiful flower wreaths."
"Okay, I'll listen to Tongtong."
The father and daughter walked further and further away, leaving behind only a gruesome male corpse in the alley.
Two ragged men looked into the alley and immediately saw the corpse. They instinctively backed away, but when they heard no movement, they looked again.
One of them said, "It just died, it's still steaming, drag it back."
Another person said with delight, "Haha, if we cook it while it's fresh, we can make several meals."
As they approached, their brains were splattered everywhere, but the two seemed used to it and weren't afraid at all.
The body was turned over, revealing thick black hair on the male corpse's chest.
"Ugh, what bad luck! It's so dark-skinned and so old. It'll be hard to chew."
"It's good enough that there's anything to eat, but the food is fresh and big. Look at the meat on this thigh. Hurry up and take it away. If you don't want it, there are plenty of other people who will."
"That's true. They're all as skinny as little chicks. It's rare to find one with some meat on his bones. We two brothers are lucky."
...
Zuo Ling and her brother stayed on the mountain for two weeks, but no one came and nothing seemed amiss.
Realizing the old man was truly dead, they decided not to linger and headed home.
Half an hour later, less than fifty meters from the container where Zuo Ling had placed the container, the soil loosened and something broke out of the ground.
Two dark figures arrived with lightning speed, and upon their arrival, they quickly dug a pit in the loose soil.
After digging for a few minutes, they pulled out a clump of dirty, tattered clothes.
After tidying up the clothes, a toddler of about 2 or 3 years old was revealed inside.
The child's eyes were tightly closed, and his body was stiff, as if he were dead.
The two of them did not dare to be careless at all, and carefully put a pill into the child's mouth.
After waiting for a while, the child slowly opened his eyes, moved his neck, and looked at the two of them. His eyes showed no trace of a child's innocence or ignorance, but rather a ruthless and world-weary look.
The two men took a step back and knelt down, saying, "We are late, please punish us, Elder."
The child stared at the two men's necks for a moment, then turned his head and swallowed. He desperately needed to replenish his strength, but there weren't many people left. Oh well!
"Go and bring me a few men."
The child's body emitted a deep, gloomy voice, which was extremely strange.
He closed his eyes wearily, finding it difficult to utter even a single word.
"yes."
The two left together.
The child closed his eyes for a long time, then opened them again and let out a soft sigh:
"Ice ability, fire ability, space ability, time ability, these three little brats have really impressed me."
He was so badly injured that his body shrunk to the size of a 2 or 3-year-old, only then could he retain a tiny bit of his supernatural abilities.
If those two subordinates had any disloyal intentions, he would have to confess right here.
Pei Nansheng and Zuo Ling, hello! I'm doing very well!!
First they destroyed his nutrient pool, then they destroyed his lair. He had already crawled out, but to avoid Zuo Ling and her brother, he sank himself underground, breathing like a tortoise to evade their search.
Three traitorous brats had driven him to this point.
The child's eyes turned black, and two vortexes of inky black storm spun rapidly:
"Very good, you are all very good!"
