The girl said that she didn't know the group just now.It was only because they were going to the capital of God that they followed them.

And she is not a refugee fleeing from a disaster, she went to God to find her relatives.

"Then where do you live? Where are the other family members?" Fourteen asked.

Hearing this, the girl lowered her head: "My family lives in Guangzhou, and my father and mother... are both dead..."

Everyone fell silent for a while, looking at the girl with pity.

Xiao Yan watched the crystal clear teardrops rolling out of her eyes, sliding across her cheeks, and covered with a layer of stains.

He finally asked the suspicion in his heart: "Your face was dirty on purpose, right?"

The crying girl turned her head to look at him upon hearing this.

"Don't get me wrong, I don't believe what you say." Seeing her look over, Xiao Yan quickly explained, "You know it's good to smudge your face to protect yourself."

After hearing what Xiao Yan said later, a look of surprise flashed across the girl's eyes, obviously he guessed right.

He's a smart kid, but he's still a kid, and he doesn't have a lot of money.Fourteen commented in his heart: But to be able to walk from Gwangju alone is also capable.

Gwangju is located in the middle of Huainan Road, south of Songzhou, farther away from Shendu than Huangliang County.Let alone a child who looks less than ten years old, she is a healthy and strong adult, and walking here is a great test for her.

The expressions on the faces of the others also changed from pity to surprise. They were dart runners, so of course they knew how far Gwangju was from here.

Such a small child actually walked over alone!

"How long did it take you to get here?" Fourteen asked.

"Half a year."

Everyone took another breath of air, but admiration appeared in Fourteen's eyes.

"What's your name?" she asked again.

"... Pine Cone." The girl replied, "My name is Pine Cone."

"What's your last name? Is there a name?"

"...My surname is Bai, and my name is Song Guo. This is my first name."

"White Pine Cone?" Xiao Yan recited it silently, thinking that the name was quite cute.

"I agree to take you to Shendu together." Fourteen pointed to the carriage behind, "Go up."

The girl's eyes widened in surprise, and her pupils became brighter.

The first function of this carriage is that Shisi and Xiao Yan can live in it when sleeping in the wilderness, and the second is to let Xiao Yan rest in it when he is tired.

Fourteen watched Song Guo step into the carriage neatly, sat in it calmly, and did not feel cramped because of his dirty body.The luxurious decoration inside the carriage did not make her humble, but showed a commonplace nature.

Courageous and knowledgeable.From this, it can be concluded that this child is by no means from an ordinary family.

Falling into such a situation, it should be that the family has encountered a big change.

Now that she decided to help, Fourteen didn't ask any more questions, and after she sat down, she led the convoy and continued on.

……

After entering the county seat, they found an inn to settle down, and Yin Zhu personally cleaned up the pinecone.

After washing, the little girl was so beautiful that it was a bit eye-catching. At first glance, she looked like a child that could only be raised by a wealthy family.

"You are very smart, you know how to hide your appearance to protect yourself." Song Guo sat on the edge of the bed, Yin Zhu sat behind her, and helped her wipe her hair with a dry cloth.

She looks to be about the same age as Xiao Yan, with such a conspicuous appearance, and alone, it is easy to arouse some people's evil thoughts.If you catch it and go to any brothel, you can sell it for an absolutely considerable price.

Yin Zhu had this kind of experience when she was very young, and because of this, she hated her own appearance for a few years and felt it was a burden.

And although her appearance was more handsome than ordinary people when she was a child, compared with Pine Cone, she was much inferior.

"You know martial arts."

Song Guo was surprised.Yinzhu sat behind her, and she clearly noticed that her body became stiff for a moment.

"Don't be nervous." She kept wiping her hair, "My wife has already seen that you know martial arts. The way you fell down and got up on the way to us is different from people who don't know martial arts. of."

Pinecone was silent.

"Knowing martial arts is very good, if not, you may not have the chance to meet us." Yin Zhu continued, "I think it would be nice if you were as smart and strong as you when you were your age."

Yinzhu looked down at the girl's two thumbs that kept rubbing, and her tone slowed down a bit: "You are very smart, so you should be able to sense it. My wife's help is purely for you, nothing else. intention."

"So you don't have to be nervous, we won't hurt you."

"..." Song Guo wanted to say something, but after opening his mouth, he paused and closed his mouth again.In the end, nothing was said.

Yinzhu took Xiao Yan's clothes and put them on for her, and tied her hair up with a headband, making her look like a young gentleman.

When he led her down to have dinner together, the four people who followed the darts were amazed.

"Is she the little girl just now?"

"It's a completely different person!"

Song Guo didn't speak, and didn't care about the eyes of several people on him.She came to Fourteen and bowed to her seriously: "Thank you, lady, for willing to help me."

"You're welcome, let's eat."

Compared with when he asked Fourteen for help at the beginning, Song Guo became extremely silent.Apart from coming to Sisi's side and thanking her, she didn't say a word until Yinzhu led her to the room to rest.

But she could feel that it wasn't that she didn't dare to say it, but that she didn't want to.

……

After resting for the night, the team set off after breakfast the next morning.

Song Guo was still sitting in the carriage, in order to avoid unnecessary commotion, Xiao Yan let Xiao Yan also sit in it.He purposely went over to explain to her that Xiaoyan doesn't bite, so she shouldn't be afraid.

But the other party nodded silently, without any sign of fear.

There are many people who are not afraid of their own ferocious beasts, but not many people are not afraid of other people's ferocious beasts.Xiao Yan became curious about this girl who was about his own age: "Have you ever raised a leopard before?"

The girl looked at him, but didn't chew.

Just when Xiao Yan thought she would not answer, she heard her say: "I also raised leopards before."

……

"What did you find?" Fourteen and Yinzhu rode side by side at the front of the team.

"She has a lot of wounds on her body, including the scars from the sharp blade and the bruises from the stick." Yinzhu said, "I must have suffered a lot along the way."

"A little girl of eight or nine years old can walk such a long distance alone, which is already very remarkable."

"Yes." Yinzhu agreed with Fourteen's words, and continued, "She has no money on her body, but she has a relic hanging around her neck."

"Sherry?"

"It's an amber relic, about the same size as the ones Qi Xian gave to Mr. Xiao Lang, wrapped in a small cage made of silver silk, and hung around his neck with colorful threads." It was recognized at a glance that they were relics, and it was also because Qi Xian found three of them last time and gave them to Xiao Yan as gifts.

"She does know martial arts." Yin Zhu continued.

Pinecone knows martial arts, but it's just Fourteen's guess, otherwise she wouldn't be able to walk that far alone.And Yinzhu said that they could tell from the way she fell and got up that she knew martial arts, but it was just a pretense that she cheated the little girl once.

One thing she didn't lie about, though, was that they meant no harm to her.Fourteen asked her to investigate these, just out of caution.

If it is a jade pendant or other objects engraved with the family logo, it is possible to deduce the origin of the little girl by virtue of it.But this relic, it will not say that it was transformed into after the death of some eminent monk.

"Is there anything else?" Fourteen asked.

Yinzhu shook her head: "She is very vigilant and very defensive, she can't ask anything."

"Forget it then." This answer was within Shishi's expectations, "Anyway, it's not far from God, just bring her there safely."
