Qi Kongming stood up, picked up Phantom Shadow's magic crystal, and headed towards the hut.
Qi Kongming opened the closet and looked at the child huddled in it, feeling a flash of unbearable sadness in his heart.
"It's okay, come out." Qi Kongming said softly. The child slowly raised his head and stared at Qi Kongming.
Then, he suddenly jumped on Qi Kongming and held on to him without saying a word.
"It's okay, it's okay, I have defeated the devil." Qi Kongming was stunned for a moment, then stroked the back of the child's head and said in a warm voice.
"Brother, is this...really?" the child sobbed, tears streaming down his face.
"Really, it's okay." Qi Kongming said, but the child still couldn't help crying.
"You stay here, here is some food. Let me bury those corpses." Qi Kongming put the boy down, said softly, and took out some food and handed it to the boy.
"Brother, can you please not leave?" The young man suddenly hugged Qi Kongming's thigh and said.
"No, I will come back after burying those bodies." Qi Kongming reluctantly moved the boy away and said patiently.
The young man nodded obediently, Qi Kongming turned around and walked out.
If the younger brother were still alive, he would probably be this old.
Qi Kongming's eyes were slightly red and moist.
Qi Kongming clenched his fists, and a clicking sound sounded.
The source of all this, the devil!
Qi Kongming's heart once again flashed with anger and murderous intent.
Qi Kongming looked at the village destroyed by the devil. Under the setting sun, Qi Kongming's shadow was illuminated very long.
Time flies, Qi Kongming buried all the bodies and immediately placed a tombstone.
Letter: The graves of all the people in the cliff village. Since I don’t know their names, this monument was erected for future generations to pay homage to. May the deceased be peaceful and healthy in the next life.
Qi Kongming paid his respects and returned to the hut.
There was no sign of the young man. Qi Kongming walked to the cabinet and opened it.
The young man huddled inside, eating the food given by Qi Kongming.
"Come out, why did you come in here again?" Qi Kongming whispered, for fear of scaring the child.
"I'm afraid..." The young man turned to look at Qi Kongming and said tremblingly.
Afraid?
Qi Kongming turned around and looked around. It was already night and pitch black.
So that’s it.
Qi Kongming smiled and lit a bonfire in the house, as well as some candles in the house. The house suddenly became much brighter.
Qi Kongming then cleaned the bed, took out a thick quilt, and spread it on top.
Qi Kongming's habit is that since he got the space ring, Qi Kongming always puts some daily necessities in it, even though he doesn't use it.
"Come on, come on." Qi Kongming moved a chair, picked up the boy, placed the chair next to the bonfire, and placed the boy on it.
The heat of the bonfire made the boy feel a little more at ease.
"What's your name?" Qi Kongming took another chair and sat next to the boy and asked.
"Dugu Xing." The young man said.
Dugu, lonely.
That’s what teenagers are like nowadays.
"What about your parents?" As soon as he said this, Qi Kongming regretted it. Looking at the situation, this child's parents were either killed by the phantom, or he was an orphan.
"Father, mother..." Hearing this, Dugu Xing put down the meat pie in his hand, fell silent, and his eyes became moist again.
"It's okay, it's okay, my brother is with me." Qi Kongming said upon seeing this.
Dugu Xing turned around and looked at Qi Kongming with a glimmer of hope.
"I don't know if you have any relatives or anything, but I promise that I will definitely protect you during this period of time." Qi Kongming said softly, firmly and warmly.
"Relatives? Me too..." Duguxing was silent again and lowered his head.
"Okay, here I am." Qi Kongming looked at Dugu Xing's expression and said.
"Brother, what's your name?" Duguxing suddenly raised his head and asked, with tears still in his eyes.
"My name is Qi Kongming. From now on you can just call me brother." Qi Kongming said and smiled.
"Okay, brother, I have a brother." Dugu Xing grinned and smiled reluctantly.
"After you've eaten, go to bed. I'll keep watch here, so you don't have to worry." Qi Kongming looked at Duguxing and said. Duguxing jumped off the chair and climbed onto the bed, very well-behaved.
"Brother, promise me you will never leave me." Dugu Xing suddenly said formally.
"Okay, I promise you." Qi Kongming said, and Duguxing closed his eyes after hearing this.
It's really cruel for a child to have to go through this.
Qi Kongming turned his head and looked at the hole in the roof, from where he could see the star-studded sky.
What is my brother's responsibility?
Qi Kongming looked at the sky, a little confused.
Maybe just take good care of him.
Qi Kongming turned his head and glanced at Dugu Xing.
Dugu, lonely.
I won't let you be alone.
Qi Kongming sat by the campfire and looked at the sky.
Dugu Xing turned around, opened his eyes, and looked at the wall.
Tears flowed out for no reason.
What happened to him at such a young age?
Qi Kongming didn't know, and he didn't know what to do if he found out.
Maybe Duguxing is still too young, and he will get tired after crying for a long time, and he will fall asleep when he is tired.
There is a slight smile, which should be brought by Qi Kongming.
Time flies, and the night passes quickly.
Dugu Xing slowly opened his eyes and turned around. Qi Kongming's figure was no longer there, and he felt fear in his heart.
Brother, he won’t abandon me, right?
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, Qi Kongming strode in, and saw the panic in Dugu Xing's eyes.
I feel like I understand something.
"Don't be afraid, I'm just going out to do some activities, and get you some food by the way." Qi Kongming said with a smile, and put a rabbit on the chair and some mushrooms.
"It's done and I'll give it to you to eat. We have to leave here this afternoon. If there's anything else you want to get, just go to the village and get it." Qi Kongming said softly.
"Leave? Where are you going, brother?" Duguxing asked, watching Qi Kongming peeling off the fur with a knife.
After all, he was a child, so he probably never strayed far from the village.
"Go to Dragon Burial City." Qi Kongming said.
"Where is that place?" Dugu Xing asked, obviously he didn't know the place Dragon Burial City.
"There's something wrong. If you don't know about Dragon Burial City, you should also know about Divine Wind City." Qi Kongming asked.
"I know a little bit." Duguxing replied.
"We will set off there in the afternoon." Qi Kongming cut the rabbit into pieces with a knife, placed it on the iron piece on the bonfire, and said.
At the same time, he cut the mushrooms into small pieces.
Then, like magic, I took out some condiments, sprinkled them on the rabbit meat, and then put the mushrooms on top.
Stir fry directly with your hands.
"Conditions are limited, so we can only do this." Qi Kongming looked at Dugu Xing and smiled awkwardly and said.
"It's okay, it looks pretty good." Duguxing looked at the rabbit meat that was almost golden, and his saliva couldn't help but want to flow out.
Qi Kongming has been cared for by the villagers since he was a child, but he has also developed some cooking skills of his own. It cannot be said that he can cook jaw-dropping dishes, but he can still cook delicious food.
Time flies, and the whole morning passes quickly.
Qi Kongming stood on a tree and looked at Dugu Xing kneeling in front of the tombstone.
Duguxing looked at the tombstone and couldn't help but burst into tears. He wiped them away, then stood up and looked at Qi Kongming.
"Are you okay?" Qi Kongming jumped lightly, came to Dugu Xing, and asked.
"It's okay, let's go, brother, I can't delay you any longer." Duguxing said, wiping away his tears completely.
"I will come back in the future." Qi Kongming glanced at the tombstone he erected and said.
"Really?" Duguxing felt excited.
"Of course, don't worry, I won't break my promise." Qi Kongming said with a smile.
Qi Kongming knew that a huge psychological trauma could not be recovered so quickly. Duguxing's current situation was the same as his own, and he buried everything in his heart without talking about it.
Although Qi Kongming knew it, he didn't ask. It was everyone's own choice. Qi Kongming felt that what he could do was to take good care of him and protect him.
The sun rose in the sky, and Qi Kongming took Dugu Xing deep into the sky.
Qi Kongming came from Xuanwu City on this trip. According to the plan, he had to pass through the Kamikaze Forest, and Kamikaze City was in the central area of the Kamikaze Forest.
It was nothing at first, but now that there are more people, everything is different. Everything needs to be done carefully. (To be continued)
