After reluctantly agreeing with everyone, Ye Ming finally found an excuse to escape.
As he gradually moved away from the fire, Ye Ming breathed in a breath of air, which still contained a strong smell of blood.
Tonight's night seems extra long...
Walking on the street at this time, there were still a lot of sobbing coming from the houses along the street. There were even two white lanterns hung on the door of some rooms. As the mayor's son had ordered, they were not allowed to vent their anger so as not to disturb the center of the town.
Soul Master, so many people only dare to close the door and cry quietly in the room.
Ordinary people don't know or care about the distinction between good and evil soul masters. They only know that tonight, a group of soul masters led a team to break their peaceful lives, leaving grief all over the place. After that, they were expelled by another group of soul masters.
Therefore, I cherish this hard-won peace.
Ye Ming had already experienced a similar scene once. At that time, he was a fledgling, with a second-level cultivation level but thought that everyone in the world could go there. As a result, he suffered a heavy blow in the small town of Pinewood at the first stop. He even tried to escape
Finally, he hid it under a rock and didn't dare to go back to see it until dawn the next day.
The mummies everywhere shocked him greatly, and he still remembers the feeling of powerlessness, so he spared no effort in rescuing people this time, but more than two thousand people were still killed or injured.
The result is not bad!
This was the answer given by their companions. They were fortunate to have saved most people's lives, but this made Ye Ming feel a little confused.
Are the results really good?
Ye Ming tried his best to convince himself to believe Chen Zifeng's answer, but after hearing the sobs in his ears, he still felt a little shaken in his heart. So many things happened tonight that his head was a little confused.
The young man was walking aimlessly on the road wearing a dark green robe, and unknowingly came to the place where the corpses were burned outside the town. At this time, a baby's cry caught his attention.
Ye Ming moved forward and saw a figure sitting on a rock from a distance. She wrapped the baby in her arms with a loose robe, and hummed a familiar melody that she had never heard before.
Ballads.
Sister Xiaotao?
Ye Ming walked closer and recognized the girl. He saw that she had taken off her fake collar, and her delicate side face showed a rare tenderness, which was a tranquility that could not be seen on ordinary days.
But the baby in her arms was obviously ungrateful, crying and stretching out its young hands to grab something in the air.
The girl rarely lost her usual impatience. Although she frowned slightly, she was still humming an unknown melody in her mouth, and the movements between her arms were also very gentle. The woman's patience was unprecedentedly given to this infant.
baby.
Click——
The sound of branches breaking caught Ma Xiaotao's attention. She immediately showed a vigilant expression, like a female cat protecting her cubs behind her, but she immediately relaxed when she saw the person coming.
"It turns out to be you."
Ma Xiaotao retracted her gaze and returned her attention to the baby in her arms, but she seemed to feel something was wrong and the melody she was humming stopped.
"What are you here for? I see you can chat with them, don't you? Why, were you kicked out by them too?"
"Sister Xiaotao, please stop teasing me." Ye Ming showed a wry smile, looked at the still crying baby, and said softly: "The seniors didn't do this deliberately, it's just the two of us who have joined initially, and we need a little more time.
It takes time to blend in.”
"Why do you have to blend in! I'm the captain, it's their turn to blend in with us."
The girl's voice was a little loud for a moment, and the baby in her arms, which had just fallen silent for a while, started crying again, so the girl hurriedly shook her arms to try to get the baby to sleep.
"When I asked you to fight for the vice-captain, you didn't listen. If it happened, we would join forces to kick Dai Yueheng out, and the rest would just be obedient. Why would there be such nonsense?"
The girl spoke softly, but there was not much complaining in her tone.
"I didn't think well." Looking at the girl who was getting emotional, Ye Ming had no choice but to follow her wishes.
"As long as you know, look at you, Sister Xiaotao, Sister Xiaotao shouted, luckily I regarded you as one of my own, but I didn't expect you to help those outsiders deal with me at the critical moment. I blame me for looking away at that time.
, I shouldn’t pay attention to you!”
After the girl complained, she suddenly felt that her tone was too harsh. She lowered her head and pursed her lips and said, "Forget it, you can go back. You are still young, so you probably don't know the pros and cons."
At this moment, the baby in her arms suddenly cried loudly, and the girl could only coax her in a hurry.
"How about you let me try." Ye Ming didn't raise a step, just looked at the baby and said.
"You?" Ma Xiaotao looked up at him suspiciously, and finally felt that there was really nothing he could do, so he finally agreed to let Ye Ming give it a try.
"It's so cold that I'm holding this child. He's not wearing any clothes. I have to give him some soul power to keep him warm. Can you do that?"
"Don't bother." Ye Ming said and noticed that there was a scar on the baby's forehead that had scabbed over. He stretched out a finger and pointed it on the baby's forehead. There was no other movement. The baby slowly closed its eyes and started sucking after a while.
The fingers fell into a deep sleep.
"Hey, I really fell asleep! How did you do it?" The girl looked at him in surprise.
"It's nothing, just some mental tricks."
"That's pretty awesome too——"
The girl's voice suddenly stopped. Mental power? Why didn't I think of it?
Generally speaking, non-spiritual soul masters can barely use some mental power only after they become Soul Saints, but she, Ma Xiaotao, naturally cannot judge this with common sense. She has been attacked by evil fire since she was a child, and her mental power is already stronger than that of soul masters of the same level.
, not to mention that the soul power has now reached level 68, and some mental power methods can be used in advance.
Shaking her head and not thinking, the girl looked at the baby in her arms and said softly: "Anyway, I still want to thank you for helping me solve this big trouble. This child kept crying for some reason, but luckily it attracted me.
He didn't freeze to death."
"Maybe I'm hungry."
"Hungry? How did you know?"
"intuition."
Ma Xiaotao was stunned for a moment, then glanced at her chest, and when she realized what she was doing, she immediately felt a little funny.
"What, maybe my sister is waking up this little brother?"
"That's not necessary. Where are his parents? Are they separated or..." Ye Ming's eyes were clear and he did not finish the sentence.
"died."
The girl rolled her eyes, as if to say, do you think I would hold a baby with parents for half a day?
"I burned the remains of his parents. There is no place to bury the bodies in this mountain."
After hearing this, the young man was silent for a long time. After Ma Xiaotao moved a seat for him on the stone, they sat down side by side.
"Then what are you going to do with this child?"
Ma Xiaotao shook her head and did not answer. She looked straight into the distance. After a while, she spoke: "The teacher said that he picked me up in a village like this nineteen years ago. He didn't say how my relatives were, but he wanted to come here."
He should be dead. I had not awakened my martial spirit at that time, and he had no idea that I would have the talent I have now, but he still took me back to the academy, and he didn’t expect that I would pick one up now..."
Ye Ming was hesitant to speak. Ma Xiaotao was just a nineteen-year-old girl. Did she want to adopt a baby?
"What are you thinking about? Who knows if this child has any other relatives? We'll just wait until dawn to find him."
"What if I can't find it?"
"I hope he has better luck than me..."
The girl's swaying figure gradually stopped, and the baby in her arms licked her fingers, as if she was having a sweet dream.
Seeing this scene, Ye Ming's heart calmed down a little. He looked at the girl in trance, and this moment seemed to coincide with the figure in his memory.
At the same time, the sky finally turned white, and the fiery red sun broke through the clouds and shed the first ray of sunshine in the world. It was dawn...
