Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 794 Survivors

Fortunately, the moonlight is beautiful tonight, there is enough light in the wilderness, and the flames on some houses have not been extinguished, which provides great convenience for the search work of the two, mainly Zhang Han.

The two searched the village but could not find any survivors.

The last remaining location that has not yet been searched is the most luxurious courtyard in the center of the village.

Generally speaking, such a mansion would not exist in such a remote village, which further proves that this village is not ordinary.

This place was obviously regarded as a key target by the attackers. The houses in the courtyard were almost burned down. Now the flames have gradually extinguished, but there are still thick smoke floating in the air.

Gu Xun was speechless about this.

You said that you have gone to the countryside to hide from disaster, can't you rein in that aristocratic hedonistic style?
  Isn't this a target to hit...

Although they felt that the probability of being alive was extremely slim, the two of them still walked into the dilapidated mansion in the spirit of coming.

The vestibule is completely destroyed.

The middle courtyard was completely destroyed.

The two sides across the courtyard were completely destroyed.

The backyard... finally had a harvest.

This was probably the area where servants lived, and was not listed as a key target. The damage was minimal... although it only preserved the integrity of each room with two walls and one roof.

Among the corpses dressed as servants, Gu Xun and Zhang Han took out a survivor who was still breathing very weakly.

A child of several years old.

Zhang Hanfu couldn't help but be slightly surprised when he saw the child.

It wasn't that he knew the other person, but through the blood all over his body, he suddenly discovered that the child's hair was snow-white.

This hair color is so rare.

When Gu Xun on the side saw the child's appearance, he couldn't help but secretly marveled.

His eyesight was better than Zhang Han's, and he could clearly tell at this moment that the child who survived the disaster not only had white hair, but also white eyebrows, and even his eyelashes were yellow and white.

Judging from the modern medical knowledge Gu Xun knows, this person is most likely an albino... right?

He didn't know very well. After all, he didn't understand modern medicine. He was just an ancient Chinese medicine (veterinarian) with a serious academic background. He had never treated similar patients before.

Of course, it doesn't matter whether she is albino or not. What is important is that a little girl with white hair and white eyebrows reminded Gu Xun of a certain long-legged female master.

Gu Xun took a closer look, and he had to say that even with the red and black blood stains on his face, he could tell that she was a beauty.

Well... the probability is higher.

Especially with Zhang Han next to him.

Although Gu Xun didn't know if Zhang Han would have participated in the battle against Wei without his existence, and whether he would have encountered this village.

At this time, Zhang Han was about to carefully check the child's breathing and whether there were any fatal injuries on his body.

Seeing this, Gu Xun came back to his senses and said, "No need to look at it."

"Although the child was covered in blood, he was not injured. He just fainted due to difficulty breathing due to being pressed among the corpse. He will recover on his own after a while."

Of course, even though he wasn't injured, it was dangerous to be kept in a pile of corpses.

If Gu Xun and the others had discovered it later, they might have been completely suffocated to death.

Zhang Han believed in the diagnosis made by the miraculous doctor Gu Xun, so he took the little girl to one side and laid her down on the flat ground.

At the same time, he also had some guesses in his mind.

"Sir, this child..."

Coincidentally, Gu Xun also had a similar judgment to him, so he immediately took over the topic and continued:
  "Judging from the scene, she might just be lucky enough to be mixed with these corpses, and she happened to faint and her breath was weak, so she was judged as a dead person by the attackers and escaped with her life."

"However, even if it is such a coincidence, the probability of her being unscathed is still too low, especially the blood stains on her body. It does not look like it was accidentally stained, but more like... intentional."

"So, there is another possibility that these people deliberately used their lives to cover her, hoping to hide it from the truth and save her life." Although it still caused her to almost be suffocated to death, it was at least much better than dying on the spot.

Isn’t it great luck to be rescued by a kind person?
  Gu Xun looked at Zhang Han and asked with a smile, "Which possibility do you think is more likely?"

Zhang Han smiled and said nothing.

As a spy chief, whenever he can think of complex things, he will never think in a simple direction. Naturally, he is more inclined to the latter guess.

And if this is the case, the identity of the child who has gone to great lengths to protect may not be that simple.

Perhaps, she was the reason for this killing.

Seeing Zhang Han's behavior, Gu Xun couldn't help but laugh a few times. He didn't say anything more about the matter, but just ordered:
  "Take this child with you and let's find a suitable place to stay and rest."

Zhang Han knew the above inference and so did Gu Xun, but it had nothing to do with them.

No matter what conspiracy or grievances he had, the two of them just saved a child by luck.

………………

The next day, in the morning.

After a night's rest, both Gu Xun and Zhang Han woke up early.

But the surviving child seemed still asleep and motionless.

Gu Xun and the two sat on opposite sides, staring at her together.

The deadly stalemate lasted for less than half an hour, and the sun had already shone into the abandoned house through the window that had lost its window paper, reflecting the flying dust in the room.

In the end, it was Gu Xun who took the lead to break the silence and said, "Little girl, isn't it uncomfortable for you to be so suppressed and motionless?"

After hearing that Gu Xun exposed the fact that he was pretending to be asleep, the child finally stopped lying down and pretended to be dead. He stood up neatly and moved back a few positions, forming a triangle with Gu Xun and Zhang Han. He was guarding the two of them coldly.

Gu Xun was unfazed by the child's reaction, but Zhang Han did have a slight reaction - he was slightly curious about the child's neat skills.

Gu Xun touched his chin, looking at the little girl who didn't want to speak, but looked like she was ready to fight at any moment, and tried to comfort her:
  "Don't be afraid, we are not good people... uh... we are not bad people. It was the two of us who rescued you from the dead last night."

Zhang Han: "..."

Boss, don’t mess around at the critical moment!

When the little girl heard Gu Xun mention those corpses, a trace of obscure emotion flashed in her eyes, but it passed quickly, and she was still coldly guarded against the two adults.

Looking at the girl who had no desire to communicate, Gu Xun could only continue:
  "Um...can you tell us what your name is?"

"..."

"Does your whole family live in this village?"

"..."

"Can you make a sound?"

"..."

No matter how Gu Xun asked, there was no reply.

"..." Gu Xun's eyelids twitched and he couldn't help but take a few deep breaths to calm down.

If someone else had this attitude after saving her, Gu Xun would definitely teach her what it means to be kind to others and what it means to repay kindness.

Unfortunately, this is a child, and it is not convenient for him to receive physics education right away.

　Today’s update, I won’t be cultivating immortality anymore, so I’ll take a leave of absence.

　　I've been too busy these days, so I'm sorry.

　　Will make up for it in a few days.
