Seeing Lan Tingche leave, Huo Shuwen picked up a handful of grass from under his feet and walked back.
"Dad, why are you back?" Huo Xiaocheng asked.
"What's it to you?"
General Huo didn't care about that. Chunying was waving at him from the tent, so he quickly went over to see what was wrong.
Hasie has been locked in the cellar for two days. She hasn't eaten or drunk anything. Her lips are pale and have dead skin on them. Before she can be made into a flesh lotus, she needs to be cleansed for three days. During these three days, she cannot eat or drink and must not be exposed to light.
The little girl had heard about the method of making flesh lotus flowers, and she had already planned it out. Three days later, as long as the people of the tribe took her away, she would find a chance to die.
I'd rather die in agony than be turned into a flesh lotus while still alive and then held in someone's hand as a magic weapon.
The cellar door was flung open, and strong sunlight streamed into the cellar, so bright it was blinding, causing her to shield her eyes from the light as she huddled in the corner.
"Goddess Sister?"
The voice sounded familiar. Hadie took a few steps back, not wanting to be exposed to the sunlight. Then, Little Stone walked into the darkness and called out again.
"Goddess Sister?"
Now that Hadie could see who it was, she tilted her head and asked in confusion.
"Why is it you?"
The little girl remembered him; he was a child from a nearby tribe who had come to the tribe to catch wild rabbits because he was starving.
On the grasslands, there are strict territorial divisions between tribes. The behavior of Xiaoshizi has broken the rules. If the Fengshi tribe were strong, it would be fine, but they are weak. So, it is possible that a child like this could be caught and beaten to death.
That day, after she finished praying, she was strolling outside when she saw Little Stone, who looked dizzy from hunger. Feeling sorry for him, she gave him a piece of dried meat.
"I...I've come to save you."
"What help are you giving me? How can you, a child, save me? Get out of here, the farther the better!"
Little Stone didn't know how to tell her, but the people in her tribe were all dead. They were disobedient and insisted on having a go at General Huo.
Looking at the silent little boy and smelling the stench of blood, Ha Die asked...
"A war has broken out between the tribes and the people of the Central Plains?"
"Um."
"The goddess's tribe was not defeated; they were all... all dead."
Hearing this, Ha Die breathed a sigh of relief, then asked...
"What about those people from the Central Plains? Did they leave?"
The little girl seemed quite relaxed, so relaxed that the boy was a bit bewildered. Logically speaking, as a goddess, she should be the most heartbroken by the destruction of her tribe, so why was this goddess so... so... indifferent?
"Little Stone, have you found the person?" Huo Xiaolong asked from above.
"We've found General Huo."
Little Stone reached out to Hadie, and in the sunlight, it was as bright as day. Hadie's dirty hand, which was leaning against the darkness, clasped tightly with Little Stone's.
“Goddess, I will take you to see General Huo. She is a very kind person.”
