The cave fell into darkness again. Lan Shuang didn't even blink. She didn't know whether she was scared or blinded. She just stood there.
After a while, a girl ran out from the darkness and hugged Lan Shuang's shoulders.
The girl looked like a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, just Ah Xiu now.
"Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan, are you okay? How are you, Xiao Lan?"
The dazed Lan Shuang seemed to have just come to her senses and said blankly.
"Sister Ah Xiu... Sister Ah Xiu... Where are you..."
She stretched out her hand and fumbled around in the air anxiously. The dazzling light and the sudden darkness made her blind for a while. She was a little at a loss looking for Ah Xiu.
"I'm here, I'm here, it's okay, Xiao Lan, it's okay..."
Ah Xiu grabbed Lan Shuang's hand and comforted her.
"Where's Chi Ren? Is Chi Ren dead?"
Lan Shuang asked anxiously.
"Well, it's okay. The old monk who eats people is dead."
"How about everyone? How are you?"
A Xiu turned his head and looked at the ground not far away.
Under the countless broken ice, there were several pieces of meat mud that were crushed into a blur...
Obviously, they were the people who were crushed by the bald and fat body just now.
"Xiao Lan, those little ungrateful wolves betrayed you at the critical moment and ran to Chi Ren's side. Why do you still care about their lives?"
A Xiu said angrily.
But Lan Shuang shook her head.
"They are also trying to survive. Everyone is innocent. I don't blame them. How are they?"
A Xiu looked at the pile of meat mud on the ground and took a deep breath.
"Those ungrateful wolves ran away a long time ago. They don't care about our lives. Let's run quickly."
As he said, A Xiu helped Lan Shuang grope in the dark cave, stepped on the meat mud, and walked towards the exit little by little.
"Sister Xiu, thank you."
Lan Shuang said seriously.
"Silly girl, why thank me?"
"Because Sister Xiu, although you are like them, you are also wavering, but you didn't give up on me in the end."
After Lan Shuang finished speaking, Xiu was stunned.
Lan Shuang continued.
"I have nothing, and I have never expected someone to firmly choose me and treat me as the most important and unique person, so even if you hesitate, at least you are willing to see your friends and not abandon me like them, so I am grateful to you."
"I'm sorry, Xiao Lan, sister disappoints you."
A Xiu stroked Lan Shuang's hair and said softly.
"You saved all of us, and we all died because of you. Those ungrateful people don't recognize you, but I do. From now on, you are my sister, and I will definitely protect you and won't let you down again. I will keep my word."
Lan Shuang nodded heavily.
"Sister Xiu, are we going to find your home?"
"Sister, I have no home for a long time."
"But you told me before that you have a home."
"Sister, I lied to you."
"Then... where should we go?"
"Sister, I will take you away, find you a home, and make sure you live a good life."
......
The two girls walked very slowly.
There were wild beasts, bandits, and even hungry people who ate people like them along the way.
What was far more terrifying than these were the densely populated cities and villages.
Slavers were always wandering around these places.
The two were refugees without household registration, and to the slave traders, they were just walking money.
Once they were caught, they would become someone else's property.
So the two could only try to avoid crowded places along the way, like two wild beasts wandering in the wilderness.
They had no place to live, no arable land, no hunting grounds, and even the little food they got, they had to worry about being robbed by others.
They had to keep running, keep running, because like other refugees, if they stopped, they would soon form a large group, and the slave traders would grab them all like they were harvesting.
The spring rain, the scorching sun in summer, the bleak autumn wind, the cold winter snow, the mountains and rivers.
The two walked and stopped along the way for a whole year.
Their lives were hanging by a thread again and again, and they were surrounded by dangers.
It was really a blessing of fate that they could escape from the many dangers they encountered. Even Chang Qing, who put himself in their shoes, believed that he might not be able to escape.
He understood the gift that Lan Shuang was talking about.
If she said before that there was no "secret" in front of him.
Then what she showed now was her "background".
Her background, her experience, allShow it to Changqing.
In the mind transmission, Lan Shuang and A Xiu crossed mountains and finally came to the vicinity of Yuguan Mountain Range.
And it was here that the two of them ushered in a turning point in their fate.
"Please, little girl, my sister hasn't eaten for several days. Please be kind and give her some food."
A Xiu hugged Lan Shuang and knelt in front of a girl.
The jungle where the two were was lush and leafy, far from the forest they came from, where even the bark and weeds were eaten up.
Because this is the territory of Yuguan Mountain Range, it is a forbidden area for these refugees.
If you dare to step in, you will risk being captured by slave traders, and the risk is very high.
If it weren't for being desperate, A Xiu would not bring Lan Shuang here. After all, it would be better for little girls like them to starve to death if they fell into the hands of those slave traders.
Fortunately, the two were lucky and didn't meet slave catchers along the way.
But Lan Shuang was weak and so hungry that she couldn't even move. Ah Xiu could only take her with her and try to find some food to save her life.
In the end, Lan Shuang didn't find anything to eat, but she met a girl digging vegetables in the forest.
Ah Xiu hesitated for a moment and gritted her teeth and decided to ask for help.
At least a girl of the same age was not a member of the slave trader.
Fortunately, the girl did not refuse the two. Perhaps out of kindness, she gave some water from the kettle she was carrying to Lan Shuang.
"Where are you two from? How did you get into this state?"
The girl asked with a trace of pity.
"We are villagers from the Yuguan Mountains. We got lost while picking herbs in the mountains, so we are so embarrassed."
Ah Xiu replied without thinking.
"How about this, my home is nearby, you can come with me, your sister is so weak, if you don't take a good rest, I'm afraid she can't hold on."
The girl suggested.
Although Ah Xiu was a little hesitant, she could only nod in agreement when she saw Lan Shuang dying.
"Then I'll trouble you."
"No trouble, no trouble."
The girl smiled and then stepped forward to help Ah Xiu lift up Lan Shuang.
"By the way, what are your names?"
"My name is Ah Xiu, and my sister's name is Xiao Lan."
"Yes, I remember, my name is Wei Yao, Sister Ah Xiu, let's go this way."
