Lin Chen's words were very direct. They were equivalent to saying, did you lie just now?
Gu Caizhi only felt that Lin Chen's eyes seemed to be able to see through her own eyes and see through all her thoughts. Her face turned pale and she did not dare to look at Lin Chen. She shook her head and whispered: "No, no."
Upon seeing this, Lin Chen was completely sure that the other party was indeed hiding something from him, or that what she just said was simply a lie.
For a while, no one spoke again, and the scene fell into silence.
Plop! Plop——
Gu Caizhi's heart beat faster uncontrollably, and fear filled her heart.
With the opponent's strength, he can easily kill himself.
If the other party is angered and takes action directly, you will be finished!
She could see that Lin Chen suspected that she was lying. Based on the behavior of the powerful people she had interacted with before, she was almost 100% sure that the other party would show his face and directly ask for the information he wanted.
Just when she thought Lin Chen was about to take action, Lin Chen said "That's it", turned around and left.
"You -" Gu Caizhi was stunned. He didn't expect this to be the case. The other party would leave so easily without threatening or torturing him?
"He has clearly seen that I didn't tell the truth, but he didn't force me. Do you plan to leave just like that?" Gu Caizhi looked at Lin Chen's retreating back with a complicated expression.
She really didn't want to mention her life experience that she didn't want to look back on to a stranger, but at this moment another thought came to her mind, how about talking to him?
Just when she hesitated, a little girl's scream came from the depths of the jungle.
She and Lin Chen turned their heads at the same time and looked in the direction of the sound.
Whoosh!
Lin Chen turned into a stream of light and disappeared from the spot. Gu Caizhi's reaction was much slower. After regaining consciousness, he flew towards the direction of the sound. There were many monsters in the forest, and there were also some ruthless hunters.
, judging from the sound just now, it is obvious that the little girl is in big trouble.
.
After a while, she saw a little girl in ragged clothes, about five or six years old, sitting under a big tree in front of her.
The little girl was thin and had a sallow complexion. Her right shoulder was dripping with blood and there were several wounds left by animal claws.
In front of the little girl, two shadow wolves more than one meter high fell to the ground, lifeless. It was obvious that these two monsters had attacked the little girl before, but they were already dead at this time.
A figure squatted in front of the little girl.
"Don't be afraid. Big brother didn't lie to you, right? After taking the elixir, the wound no longer hurts. You see, your shoulder is no longer bleeding. Now big brother will give you a simple bandage and it will heal soon."
Lin Chen squatted in front of the little girl with a gentle smile.
The little girl was like a frightened little rabbit. She almost huddled up and looked at him in horror. Just now, he took advantage of the little girl not paying attention and stuffed a pill into her mouth. This frightened the little girl even more.
.
This was also a helpless move. After all, he had kindly persuaded the little girl to take the elixir at the beginning, but the other girl was so wary that she was bleeding to the point of dizziness, and she was still extremely wary of him.
"No...it doesn't hurt anymore."
There was a surprised expression on the girl's little face. She glanced at the wound on her shoulder and saw that the wound was no longer bleeding. She looked at Lin Chen timidly and said:
"Thank...thank you, big brother."
"You're welcome."
Lin Chen chuckled and began to bandage the little girl's wound. Gu Caizhi couldn't help but rub her eyes with her hands, her eyes filled with disbelief. She wondered whether the person bandaging the little girl's wound in front of her was the extremely cruel person before.
, the mysterious strong man who beat the head of the Wang family into blood mist with one punch.
?
The powerful ascetics she had come into contact with in the past basically regarded the weak as ants.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be unimaginable that a strong Taoist would be so gentle to a poor child, almost like a kind-hearted big brother next door.
When the little girl saw Gu Caizhi walking this way, she was startled and leaned closer to Lin Chen.
Seeing this scene, Gu Caizhi stopped in embarrassment. She felt like a bad person in the eyes of the little girl. At the same time, an extremely complicated mood emerged. This little girl reminded her of her past self.
Lin Chen had already bandaged the little girl's wound. He glanced at Gu Caizhi, rubbed the little girl's head and said, "She is my friend, big brother, not a bad person."
The little girl nodded timidly and said to Gu Caizhi: "Hello, sister."
Gu Caizhi showed a sweet smile and walked to her side. She glanced at the basket that had fallen aside. She saw that there were several common herbs in the basket. The roots of the herbs were still stained with moist soil. They had obviously been picked not long ago. She had a pair of beautiful eyes.
Frowning:
"You came to this forest to collect medicine? Where are your parents? No matter how poor your family is, you shouldn't let a child of several years old come here alone! This is simply a joke with your life!"
When Lin Chen heard this, he also looked at the little girl. If he had come a little later, the little girl would have died.
The little girl lowered her head and said, "It's none of my parents' business. Lei'er ran out on her own. My parents don't know that I came to the forest to collect medicine."
"You ran here by yourself? Do you know how dangerous it is here? You-" Before Gu Caizhi could finish her words, she saw Lin Chen shaking his head at him, so he closed his mouth, but his brows were still knitted into knots.
Lin Chen didn't say that the little girl did something wrong. He picked her up with one hand and lifted the basket with the other hand.
"Where is Lei'er's home? Big brother, can I take you back? Otherwise you'll encounter another monster on the road, which will be troublesome." Lin Chen said with a smile.
Lei'er was very frightened just now, and she was also afraid of meeting another monster on the way back. She nodded, and saw Lin Chen hugging her and about to leave, and said anxiously: "Brother, wait! I haven't got the things yet.
Woolen cloth."
"What?"
Lin Chen followed the direction of her finger and saw the two lifeless corpses of monster beasts on the ground, and immediately understood what she meant.
If these two monster beast corpses were sold, their value would be hundreds of times the price of the herbs in the basket.
Lin Chen winked at Gu Caizhi.
Gu Caizhi glanced at the two wolf corpses, pointed to her nose, and said in shock: "Me?"
Lin Chen said: "Then why don't you come and hold her, and I'll carry her-"
"No, big brother, hug me!" Lei'er was anxious and hugged Lin Chen's neck tightly.
Gu Caizhi's eyelids twitched, her cheeks puffed up, and she lifted up a wolf corpse with one hand angrily, just like a servant doing manual labor.
"Let's go home." Lin Chen touched Lei'er's head and walked along the route she pointed out. Gu Caizhi followed Lin Chen, looking very angry. As he walked, his expression changed.
Feeling gentle, she found that following this man, she felt a sense of security that she had never felt before.
