The king's fierce concubine: women don't be arrogant

As the man's voice fell, several people echoed immediately, "Burn him to death, burn him to death!"

Xi Yan passed by collecting medicines, and was attracted by the shouts from the foot of the mountain. Looking around, he saw dozens of people surrounded by the open space by the river. The elevated wooden stakes seem to have a person tied to them.

Being used to being chased and killed, seeing this scene, Xiyan felt a little displeasure in her heart, and couldn't help but quicken her pace, walking towards the crowd.

"Hurry up, noon is coming, this will be the time when the yang energy is at its peak, burn this evildoer to death with a fire!" When he was about to arrive, Xi Yan heard the person who took the lead in shouting slogans ordering loudly.

"Stop!" Hearing what the man mentioned "monster", Xi Yan subconsciously shouted to stop the two villagers who were about to go forward to light the fire. [

There was a sense of deterrence in the crisp voice, which made everyone quiet for a while.

However, when the villagers turned their heads, they found that it was only an eleven or twelve-year-old country girl who stopped them.Although the girl in front of her is indeed delicate and refined, especially her big black eyes, which seem to contain an impenetrable profundity, she doesn't look like a child at all.

When the villagers turned around, they made some space, and Xi Yan was finally able to see clearly that the person tied to the fire in the middle by them was just a child, who seemed to be only about ten years old.

After only a casual glance, Xi Yan withdrew her gaze, turned to the middle-aged man giving orders, and asked, "Uncle, what are you doing? Why did you burn this child to death?"

Perhaps it was due to the special temperament in her body, but no one scolded her for intervening for a while, and the middle-aged man was even more patient and said: "Little girl, please stay away, he is not an ordinary child." , he is a monster, anyone who gets close to him will die!"

At the end, the expression on his face was a little terrified.

evildoer?The days when he was a child and his parents were hunted and killed flashed through his mind, and the corners of Xi Yan's lips could not help but evoke an almost invisible sarcasm.But only for a moment, he was hidden in that innocent smile again.Seeing the expressions of fear on the faces of the surrounding villagers, he pretended to be puzzled and said, "I was on the mountain just now, and I heard from you from a distance that he killed many people. But I see that he is tied up by you now, and he can't even move." I can't move, it doesn't seem to be a big deal, why are you all so afraid of him?"

The middle-aged man looked her up and said, "Little girl, are you from a foreign country? No wonder you don't know, he is not human at all!"

At the end, the middle-aged man turned pale, and said: "Okay, the time has come, we can't miss the business, hurry up, light the fire!"

The villagers seemed to be aroused by his words, and they shouted loudly: "Light it up! Burn him to death!"

Immediately afterwards, the villagers lit the torches in their hands, preparing to throw them at the firewood in the middle.

The child tied to the wooden frame looked at everyone with a cold face, and his expression was not like an ordinary child at all.Xi Yan looked at him again curiously, suddenly, the child turned his eyes and looked at her too.

Looking at each other, Xi Yan discovered that there was actually a trace of help and fear hidden in those seemingly indifferent eyes.However, even so, the child still clenched his teeth from beginning to end and didn't say a word.

But for some reason, at that moment, Xiyan had an intuition in her heart, an intuition of sympathy and sympathy.

"Wait a minute!" She spoke again, however, several torches had already been thrown over and fell under the firewood pile, and the dry firewood ignited in an instant.Seeing this, Xi Yan couldn't care less, and hurried over.

"Hey, don't go there, you will die!" The middle-aged man shouted anxiously.

The fire started quickly, and it was too late.While running, Xi Yan pulled out the hatchet from her waist, and didn't care about being burned by the fire. Without saying a word, she rushed forward and cut the rope that tied the boy, and dragged him off the fire.

"What are you doing?" The villagers were horrified, but they didn't dare to approach her. They all formed a circle and glared at her, and the middle-aged man said angrily, "Where did you come from?" Wild girl, if you do this, you will kill yourself and us!"

Xi Yan glanced at the boy who was slightly shorter than herself, and he also looked back at her with disbelief, and subconsciously reached out and grabbed her sleeve tightly, as if he was afraid that she would leave him alone. [

He is asking her for help.

Xi Yan couldn't understand that feeling of loneliness, she couldn't help but smiled and held his hand.At that moment, he seemed to be a little afraid, so he struggled a bit, but she held her tightly so that he obeyed.

/>

Seeing this, the villagers became even more frightened, and someone shouted in panic: "It's over, she is hopeless, she must have been infected too!"

The middle-aged man also looked regretful, and said: "From now on, we can only burn her together!"

As soon as his words came out, many people immediately agreed, saying: "Yes, let's burn them together."

Xi Yan didn't expect these seemingly simple-natured villagers to be so cruel, but from their words, she also vaguely guessed something, seeing that they took out wooden forks out of nowhere, as if they were going to capture them, she hurriedly said: " Wait! I can save you!"

Shocked by her words, the villagers stopped moving for a moment.

Xi Yan took the opportunity to say again: "Some of you are sick, right? My family has practiced medicine for generations, and I also learned medicine since I was a child. I can treat your illnesses!"

"You?" The middle-aged man came back to his senses, shook his head, and said, "Speaking of which, you are just a little girl. Even the doctors with a radius of tens of miles can't do anything about it. Little girl, it's not us I want to kill you cruelly, it's really... the one next to you, he is not a human being, he is a monster crawling out of a coffin, but anyone who gets close to him will die! We burned you for your own good, so that you don't have to go back home Do harm to your family again!"

Although she still doesn't quite understand what happened, but from what he said, Xi Yan knew that her guess was right.It's just that things seem to be more weird and serious than she imagined.He lowered his eyes and glanced at the boy beside him. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Uncle, I know you are very scared, but don't underestimate me. If I don't have any skills, how dare I go to the mountains alone to collect medicine?" Xi Yan said calmly, "I I have been practicing medicine with my parents since I was five years old, and I have seen even strange and intractable diseases, since your doctor can't help, why don't you let me try?"

She already had a convincing aura. Although she was besieged at the moment, she was not flustered, and her words and expressions were full of confidence. People couldn't help but ignore her age. The villagers shrouded in shadow couldn't help but believe her a bit.

Xi Yan knew that this was not enough to shake them, and then said: "Of course, if you don't believe me, then let me take him back, and you can treat him as dead, and I guarantee that he will never come back to your village .”

"No!" The middle-aged man, who was a little shaken at first, immediately vetoed it when he heard this, but his attitude changed a little, and he explained: "Girl, it's not that we don't believe you, but that you don't know his details at all, so you can't believe me." I'm afraid that when your family is killed by him, he will continue to come out to harm others!"
