Chapter 134 Qi Rong's Concern
When Bai Xiaoxiao regained consciousness, everything was over - the altar was destroyed, the old thief Chen Cheng was missing, and the monk had left, leaving behind only a pile of corpses and people who died with their eyes open.
The moonlight is dimmer.
The orange rice fields were stained with layer upon layer of blood, and their original appearance was no longer recognizable. The wheat stalks drooped and dripped with blood, and corpses were thrown all over the ground. It was a real hell on earth.
Bai Xiaoxiao took a while to calm down. Little Qirong was sitting next to her. His tender and clean little face had become dirty now. His eyes were calm and peaceful, creepy.
"I used to think that saving the dying and the wounded wouldn't be too bad even if I didn't get any thanks. But I was wrong." Qi Rong's voice was terrifyingly calm, as if the person who was hysterical just now was not him. Looking at the village where she once lived, Bai Xiaoxiao felt dizzy at the scene that was now like hell on earth.
"Those who save others may not necessarily have a good ending."
Qi Rong murmured softly, seemingly speaking to Bai Xiaoxiao, but also to himself: "Overly kindheartedness doesn't necessarily lead to salvation. Instead, it pushes those you care about into the abyss. Grandpa saved Chen Cheng out of compassion as a doctor, but he wanted to sacrifice the entire village. I begged that monk, risking my life to pick herbs, so that he could help me save the people I care about, but in the end... they couldn't even keep their bodies intact."
"Do you know?"
"I am actually an orphan, I have no parents, let alone a grandfather."
Bai Xiaoxiao quietly accompanied Qi Rong. She didn't know how to enlighten this child who had just lost a loved one, but she had to at least give him some comfort.
But Qi Rong's subsequent words shocked her greatly.
"I don't know who my parents are or where my home is. I grew up in this village, wearing clothes and eating food from many families. Everyone in this village is like my parents. They never despise me for being a useless orphan and are willing to give me a bite to eat, but they themselves can't even eat enough or wear warm clothes."
"I was adopted by Grandpa Qi, taught medical knowledge, and learned how to be kind and do things. I try my best to do it and I am willing to believe it."
"But the result, huh..."
"This is not your fault, Third Brother."
Seeing the mocking and lonely expression of the child in white, Bai Xiaoxiao couldn't help but comfort her. As soon as she said the first sentence, she was surprised to find that she could speak.
"Um."
Qi Rong responded calmly. He raised his palm and gently covered Bai Xiaoxiao's head. He saw through her thoughts at a glance: "You can speak now."
Bai Xiaoxiao was very excited, but when she raised her eyes, she found that Qi Rong in front of her was different.
The originally dirty little guy had grown into an adult without anyone noticing. His black hair fluttered in the wind, and the flowing brocade had no complicated patterns embroidered on it, yet it was still otherworldly.
Night turns to day.
The rays of warm sunlight shining on his face seemed to cast a thin layer of light.
Bai Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked down at her hands.
Human hands,
She's back!
She adjusted her skirt and sat cross-legged beside Qi Rong. Qi Rong withdrew his gaze from her and looked into the distance again. Bai Xiaoxiao then realized that the broken bodies had long disappeared, and the rice fields had straightened up again, a patch of yellow and orange against the blue sky and white clouds, which was very beautiful.
"It's been a while since I reminisced about the past."
Qirong looked out, his voice faint.
"Third Brother..."
Bai Xiaoxiao called him softly, but apart from that she seemed unable to say anything else.
"I know. It's okay."
Qi Rong said softly, "Those things are all in the past. I'm no longer the little kid who could only cry while holding the bones. I don't know if it's because they hate me, but I haven't dreamed of them or Grandpa in all these years. It's as if they have disappeared from my life."
"How could it possibly disappear..."
A child who grew up wearing clothes from many families and eating food from many families,
I will cherish the hard-earned family affection even more.
Bai Xiaoxiao knew Qi Rong's confusion and pain. She had also envied children with both parents and wondered why she was the only one in the world. So sometimes, she would remember for a long time a small kindness from others, not to mention the whole village who had been taking care of him.
Qi Rong continued, "I understand my physical condition. I can't stabilize my Half-Nascent Soul cultivation, so it will plummet sooner or later. It's better to restrain myself first and stabilize my foundation bit by bit."
Bai Xiaoxiao looked at him: "I also want to go back to the past..."
Qi Rong paused without saying anything. The fine black hair on his forehead fell slightly, covering his expression. His lips, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling, showed alienation and an indescribable loneliness and sadness.
The worry in Bai Xiaoxiao's eyes was about to overflow.
This makes you depressed easily.
She coughed twice. "It's all the fault of that turtle bastard Chen Cheng. You said you're not a good person, you're not an immortal, but you have to take shortcuts! Look at him, with his wrinkled face, it's clear he's not a good person now. He has no children, but he still insists on being a father. What a weird species! I think we should not only divide the world into five realms: immortals, demons, humans, monsters, and the underworld, but also create a six-realm seafood realm. After all, a lot of people only make a lot of noise, but a lot of turtles can crawl around."
[I'm still a bit reserved in my cursing. Let me tell you, there's no sad thing that can't be solved with a simple "alpaca". If there is, I'll just say it twice, plus "get out of here", "idiot", "you're crazy", "idiot, you fucking ****", "****", etc...]
I don't have the recklessness of a rough man, but I have the aura of a shrew. I'll show up to that station and scare the hell out of the other person, then crush their bones and throw them up in the air. It's like a real cool and domineering show! Yeah!
"Oh……"
Qi Rong suddenly chuckled softly.
Bai Xiaoxiao was stunned. She didn't know which sentence tickled Third Senior Brother's funny bone, or whether her scolding was too childish, making him think, "I can do it too."
She actually also has the ability to be sarcastic at a high level.
But, it doesn't make me feel relieved.
Qi Rong touched the little girl, who looked like a frightened squirrel. "I know, I know everything. You've already proven with facts that kindness will never be betrayed. I'm not wrong, and Grandpa wasn't wrong in teaching me. The ones who were wrong were Chen Cheng, Que Tiancheng, and that arrogant cultivator."
"Thank you, Xiaoxiao."
Bai Xiaoxiao immediately recalled Qi Rong's strange behavior during the initial beast tide—he had never wanted to save people, he was just afraid that his momentary kindness would harm the people closest to him.
But she told him with her actions,
She has the ability,
She will not be harmed.
After figuring this out, Bai Xiaoxiao smiled again: "Then, shall we go out?"
Qi Rong also smiled and said, "Get out. The accounts that need to be settled and the revenge that needs to be taken must be resolved."
