"Ah—" The shrill scream suddenly pierced the night sky and echoed endlessly among the tall buildings.

Su Xiaoxuan stamped her feet suddenly, and turned her head to look in the direction of the cry.

"Sister Xuan!" Qi Mu had no choice but to stop and persuaded in a low voice, "We can't protect ourselves now, and we don't have time to take care of others."

The slum area is a chaotic area where the weak prey on the strong. The phenomenon of bullying the weak here is more obvious and straightforward than in the other two places in Changnan City, and there will be no security administrators to mediate.Qi Mu was afraid that Su Xiaoxuan would show kindness, so he reminded her "don't get involved with anyone" before coming in.

Unfortunately, it failed in the end.

As soon as he stopped, Zhao Yunlan, who was walking in the front, felt something, and also stopped and turned around.

"I..." Su Xiaoxuan slightly parted her lips, and begged softly, "Let's just go and have a look."

She didn't have a sudden onset of Madonna, and she also knew that this kind of compassion should not be shown now.If it wasn't because the scream was so special, she could have pretended not to hear it.

The owner of that voice seems to be just a child!

This made her inexplicably think of her beloved brother who had died young.

Her vision was slightly blurred, Su Xiaoxuan really couldn't turn a deaf ear to it.

Qi Mu smiled wryly, and gave Zhao Yunlan a questioning look.Although on the surface, most of the time, he was directing the actions of everyone, but in fact the final decision was made by Zhao Yunlan, who had a veto power.

Zhao Yunlan gave him a look of "you can figure it out yourself".

"Then let's go and have a look." Qi Mu said, "If we can find a more honest person to help us lead the way, it can save us some time of head-scratching."

He said he only went to see it, but since he had seen it all, he didn't believe that Su Xiaoxuan could bear it and walked away, so he simply said something first.

"Thank you." Su Xiaoxuan glanced at him gratefully, and quickly ran towards the direction where the screams came from.

Qi Mu and Zhao Yunlan followed closely behind her.

Turning the corner of a street, they came to the scene of the incident.

Under the cold moonlight, they saw two tall and thin men punching and kicking a short figure on the ground, and occasionally swearing: "Stinky boy, you're impatient! Then call someone to save you!"

The short figure was a boy of seven or eight years old, with a sallow complexion and a thin body, as if it was just a layer of human skin on the skeleton.He half-covered his immature face, and curled up into a ball. Even though he was beaten up by two men, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he couldn't stop howling, but the tears in his eyes never fell.

Su Xiaoxuan was furious when she saw it, and was about to roll up her sleeves and go forward to teach the two men a lesson, but saw their movements froze at the same time, and they fell straight backwards.

Qi Mu rubbed his swollen temples: "I'll leave it to you, Sister Xuan, I'm not very good at dealing with children."

"Aren't you a kid yourself?" Su Xiaoxuan muttered, put on a kind smile, and walked quickly to the little boy.

"I'm an adult!" Qi Mu gritted his teeth bitterly and defended, "I'm 20 this year!"

As soon as he finished saying this, he felt a fiery gaze coming from behind him, just like the mood he felt when he visited the ripe apples in the orchard in the countryside a long time ago:

The fruit is ripe and ready to eat.

Qi Mu couldn't help shivering, and almost instinctively covered his butt.

"Little brother, it's okay, get up quickly." Su Xiaoxuan squatted down, handed a hand to the little boy, and said softly.

The little boy also felt the changes in his surroundings. He timidly opened a pair of bright eyes and looked around first. After seeing the two adult men who beat him fell unconscious on the ground, he turned his head to look gratefully. Su Xiaoxuan.

Su Xiaoxuan smiled slightly: "It's okay, my sister has helped you knock down the person who bullied you."

Although Su Xiaoxuan's appearance is not very good, she smiles sweetly, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.The little boy quickly put down his guard, stood up under her pull and said, "Thank you sister."

Su Xiaoxuan asked softly: "What's your name, why did they beat you?"

"My name is Su Wenyao." The little boy rubbed the bruises on his body and said aggrievedly, "They tried to rob me of food before, but they were taught a lesson by another big brother. I didn't expect that I just met that big brother After a while, they came to trouble me."

Su Xiaoxuan raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "Just for this kind of thing, I beat you like this."

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Su Wenyao curiously looked at Qi Mu and Zhao Yunlan who were not far away, and Ran Hua who was dying on Zhao Yunlan's back: "Sister, what happened to that brother over there?"

"He...he is sick and needs to find a place to rest." Su Xiaoxuan lied to the little boy out of conscience, "Little brother, can you help us find a quiet place, and it's best not to disturb anyone."

"A place where no one will bother... Cough cough—" Su Wenyao suddenly covered his mouth and nose and coughed twice, "Sister, if you don't dislike it, go to my house. It's very remote, and you don't usually Someone is going."

After coughing, he silently turned his hands away, as if trying to cover up something.

Su Xiaoxuan frowned, not pointing out his little trick.

On the contrary, Zhao Yunlan snorted coldly, with obvious disdain raised at the corner of his mouth.

His voice was very soft and did not attract the attention of Su Xiaoxuan and Su Wenyao, but it did not escape Qi Mu's ears.

Qi Mu twitched the corner of his mouth. Others might think that Zhao Yunlan was laughing at the little boy's unsightly trick, but he knew very well that Zhao Yunlan's heart must be surging at this moment.

He saw his childhood self in the little boy.

The same sallow and emaciated face, the same frailty and sickness, and the same coughing up of blood—this little boy is also a descendant of a supernatural being.

It's a shame he's still alive.

Zhao Yunlan suddenly glanced at a corner in the shadows, and calmly touched the Tang Dao at his waist.In the blink of an eye, the knife was drawn and thrown in one go, and there was a muffled groan in the shadows, and then a figure rolled out of the darkness, the Tang knife pierced his heart, apparently dead.

Qi Mu was startled into a cold sweat, but he didn't notice anyone nearby.This person is likely to be a supernatural person who is good at hiding, or a killer like Chu Chen.

"Let's go." Zhao Yunlan pulled out the Tang knife that pierced through the assassin, speaking concisely.

"I didn't expect Xiao He's people to come here so quickly. I hope this is the only vanguard." Qi Mu shouted to Su Xiaoxuan, "Sister Xuan, we have to leave here quickly."

Su Xiaoxuan had already decided to agree to hide at the little boy's house, but she changed her mind after seeing the assassin who was instantly killed by Zhao Yunlan.

She couldn't bring this innocent child into their fight.

"Sister, are you being chased and killed?" Su Wenyao quietly looked at the extra corpses on the ground, without any panic, as if he had become accustomed to it, "Go to my place, my house is very remote, and no one usually comes .”

Su Xiaoxuan was just about to leave, when she heard the little boy's words, she turned her head and looked at him in surprise.

"Brother Gao taught me that the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring." Su Wenyao's eyes were firm and clear, "Come with me."

After all, he didn't wait for Su Xiaoxuan's answer, turned around and slid into the cracks in the street.

The three of Qi and Mu looked at each other, not knowing whether to follow, but in the end Zhao Yunlan made the final decision: "Follow him."

The three of them followed the little boy, shuttled among the garbage and dilapidated houses, and finally came to a waste collection station surrounded by abandoned buildings.

It is said to be a waste collection station, but it should be called a garbage dump now.However, since the slum area looks like this as a whole now, it doesn't look special.Coupled with the interactive cover of tall buildings, this is indeed a suitable place to hide.

There is also a simple one-story house in the purchasing station, which is even more inconspicuous among the mountains of garbage. If it weren't for Su Wenyao's leadership, Qi Mu thought he would have missed it directly.

Su Wenyao led them into the bedroom in the bungalow, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, brother and sister, I don't have electricity here, so I can only wrong you first."

It is said that the children of the poor are in charge of the family early, and Su Wenyao's every move does not look like a seven or eight-year-old child.In Qi Mu's impression, the teenagers in his relative's house were not half his size.

Zhao Yunlan put the unconscious Ran Hua on the bed.

"Are you alone in your family? Where are your parents?" Su Xiaoxuan asked with a frown.

Su Wenyao pursed his lips and said lightly, "I don't have parents."

"Aren't there any other relatives?"

"No."

Zhao Yunlan sneered again, this time Su Xiaoxuan heard it, she turned her head and gave Qi Mu a dissatisfied look, as if to say: "Take care of your man's mouth, what's so funny about it!"

Qi Mu scratched his head in embarrassment, pouted at Su Xiaoxuan, and signaled her to talk outside.

Su Xiaoxuan reluctantly followed him out, leaving Zhao Yunlan and Su Wenyao staring wide-eyed.

"What's the matter with your boss?" As soon as she stepped out of the room, Su Xiaoxuan shouted angrily, "This kid is so pitiful, he still has the mood to laugh at him!"

Qi Mu explained dumbfoundingly: "The boss is not laughing at him, but at his parents. You haven't been a supernatural being for long, so you don't know that it is actually very difficult for supernatural beings to raise offspring."

He briefly talked about this defect of the supernatural being and Zhao Yunlan's life experience, and then said: "The boss thinks that Su Wenyao's parents abandoned him, and he feels the same for a while, so he sneers."

Su Xiaoxuan was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help touching her lower abdomen: "Are all supernatural beings like this?"

Qi Mu knew what she was asking, nodded and said guiltily: "Yes, no matter whether they are supernatural beings awakened before or after the end of the world, they cannot raise their offspring normally. Xiao He wants to get the so-called 'reversible' from Uncle Zhao. The secret recipe of "the fate of the supernatural beings" is to make the supernatural beings all over the world obey his orders on this condition."
