After saying that, his figure, like a cloud of mist, suddenly dissipated in place.
Looking at the dissipated figure of the Grandmaster and recalling the situation when he practiced sword with San San Jushi back then, Xu Taiping muttered to himself:
”I still feel that this Grandmaster is a bit different from the master I know.”
And not long after the Great Master left, Xu Taiping, who was quietly stabilizing his qi and blood true essence, suddenly sensed that the spiritual power of the bronze ring had been restored.
So he snapped his fingers without hesitation and said,
“Accelerate.”
Almost at the same time he snapped his fingers, the scene around him began to change like a revolving lantern.
In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.
Although the speed of time passing had become faster, the memories related to these days entered Xu Taiping’s mind without the slightest difference.
In these ten days, the number of people coming to spit was obviously decreasing day by day.
In the end, the pedestrians on the street even began to ignore his existence.
But the only thing that remained unchanged was that almost every night, the girl would come to deliver food to Qi Zhou.
And from the girl’s vague words and the idle gossip heard in the surrounding teahouses and taverns Xu Taiping finally learned that this girl was originally a villager of a small village called Yangliu Gou in the west.
Probably three years ago, a severe drought in Yangliu Gou made the few hundred people in the village have no harvest.
Later, the Hong family in Shafo Town tried some means and sold the few hundred people in Yangliu Gou to the town.
Most of the men among these people were sent to the nearby mines, while the women and children were resold to some human traffickers who did the meat business in the town.
This girl named Tian Li was kept as a concubine’s maid by the young master of the Hong family in Sha Fo Town.
However, this girl has a very stubborn character. When the young master of the Hong family used force, she actually broke the young master of the Hong family’s genitals.
In order to take revenge on this girl, the young master of the Hong family gathered a group of dandies in the town and locked Tian Li in the room for a whole month.
It was not until the doctor diagnosed that Tian Li was pregnant that she was released.
When she was released, the girl had already collapsed mentally and was all day long.
But for some reason, she seemed to know that she was pregnant. Even though the young master of the Hong family humiliated her again and again, she still ate on time every day.
Even if the young master of the Hong family poured the food into the muddy water, she would still eat it without hesitation.
The most magical thing is that even though she ate these dirty and rotten foods the fetus in the girl’s womb was still extremely healthy.
So the scene that happened before, where the young master of the Hong family tied the girl to the carriage and dragged her every day, occurred.
But as the saying goes, man proposes, God disposes. The young master of the Hong family didn’t kill Tian Li and the fetus in her womb. Instead, he bumped into Qi Zhou, the killing god, and lost his own life.
“Patta, patta…”
Under the night, just as Xu Taiping, who was still hanging, was “recalling” what he had seen and heard in the past few days bit by bit, an intermittent sound of footsteps suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw the girl Tian Li coming to deliver food to him again.
Xu Taiping found that when delivering food to him, there was no abnormality in the girl’s breath, and even when walking, she was limping.
But every time when the Hong family came to catch her, she would be like a different person. Not only was her figure extremely sensitive, but even the breath on her body became extremely cold.
”Father.”
At this time, the girl Tian Li finally came to the front of Xu Taiping.
However, Xu Taiping found that today’s Tian Li, for some reason, the spirit in her eyes was obviously much dimmer than before.
And when seeing Tian Li handing over a pear that was only the size of a child’s fist and half rotten, Xu Taiping immediately understood.
Then, only to hear Tian Li say with a tone full of self-blame:
”Father, today I only found this pear.”
Xu Taiping looked at the rotten pear held in the girl’s hand and then at the girl’s two bloody arms, and immediately his heart softened and said:
”It’s been a long time since I ate a pear. Ali, let us take a bite.”
Seeing that Xu Taiping didn’t find this rotten pear, the originally dim eyes of Tian Li suddenly brightened a little.
I saw her nodding repeatedly, and then she turned the rotten half towards herself and handed the good half to Xu Taiping’s mouth.
Xu Taiping took a bite.
Although this rotten pear had a somewhat sour and astringent taste, Xu Taiping still ate it with relish.
After taking another bite, Xu Taiping smiled faintly at the girl named Tian Li and said:
“You eat too.”
Tian Li nodded.
However, when eating the pear, she didn’t eat the good half but gnawed on the rotten half.
Although he knew that Tian Li’s body was not that of an ordinary person, when seeing the girl would rather eat the rotten pear herself and leave the good one for her father, an inexplicable feeling of sourness welled up in Xu Taiping’s heart.
After taking a bite of the pear, Tian Li immediately smiled brightly and said:
“Dad, although it’s a bit rotten, this pear is still sweet.”
Xu Taiping nodded with a smile and said:
“Yes, it’s very sweet.”
Xu Taiping looked at the girl’s two arms and suddenly asked curiously:
“Who injured your two arms?”
Upon hearing this, Tian Li raised her two arms and looked at them, then shook her head and said:
“It’s okay, Dad. I accidentally hurt them. They don’t hurt anymore.”
Xu Taiping ignored Tian Li’s answer and directly said:
“It’s the Hong family, right?”
In the past two days, the Hong family has been sending people to hunt down this girl in the town, which is why the girl couldn’t get any food these days.
When Xu Taiping revealed the origin of the wound on her body, the girl, who had been hiding a bellyful of grievances, suddenly had red eyes, pouted her mouth, and then lowered her head, pinching the corner of her clothes and said:
“Dad, let’s go home?”
”Dad, in a few more days, the wheat at home will be ripe, and we should go home to harvest the wheat.”
This was not the first time the girl had said this to Xu Taiping.
It’s just that a few times before, Xu Taiping ignored it, because obviously, neither he nor Qi Zhou could answer this question.
”Bang!”
However, just after Xu Taiping ignored the girl’s words again, the girl’s head suddenly burst open.
The time vortex of Na Jiuyuan once again tore Xu Taiping’s body apart and then swallowed it in.
When Xu Taiping woke up again, the scene in front of him returned to the situation when the girl said the words “Daddy, I want to go home” to himself.
Seeing this, Xu Taiping said in surprise:
”Could it be that just now I shouldn’t have ignored the girl’s question, but should have given an answer?!”
After just a moment of confusion, Xu Taiping’s eyes suddenly lit up and said:
“It seems that after Ah Li asked this question back then, Qi Zhou didn’t continue to ignore it but made a choice!”
However, soon, a new problem was once again placed in front of Xu Taiping –
“How would Qi Zhou choose?”
