Chapter 447 The anger

In the pain, I completely passed out.At the moment when I was about to lose consciousness, I almost thought that my life was over, but I didn't expect that I would have a chance to wake up.When I opened my eyes, the sky was already completely dark. The first thing I saw was a hazy flame, followed by a strong smell of blood. When I moved a little, my body felt a sharp pain. I bowed my head. Look, I found that the bitten places have been treated and tied up with bandages.

Turning my gaze, I found that there were other people sleeping next to me. Almost everyone was injured. The farthest from me was Ouyang Xuan. She hugged her legs, buried her head between her knees, and burst into tears Voice.I was a little surprised, and forced myself to sit up, only to find that there was a bewildered tofu standing beside the campfire in the middle.As soon as he saw me wake up, he rushed over as if he was about to cry, and said in a trembling voice, "Yes, I'm sorry..."

I took a few deep breaths, only to realize that we were still in the populus euphratica forest, and not far away was a scene of Shura hell. At the junction of light and darkness, countless stumps and broken arms could be seen. It was the bodies of those yellow tigers.

Except for me and Ouyang Xuan, the rest are still asleep.

At the moment of waking up, my mind was still a little chaotic, but it became clear after a while. I looked at Tofu with the look of the sky falling down, eased my tone, and didn't find any plan to settle accounts, and said, "No hurry, what's the matter?" What's going on?"

Tofu looked at Ouyang Xuan who was still crying in the distance, with an extremely guilty expression, and intermittently talked about what happened afterwards.Those yellow tigers were crazy at that time. Tofu was frightened at first and just hid beside the corpse fairy. Later, when he saw that the situation was critical, he was desperate to find those yellow tigers and yelled at the corpse fairy: "Kill!" Kill them!" In fact, he didn't say these words to the corpse fairy at all, but he said them to himself, completely for the purpose of emboldening himself.

But he didn't expect that as soon as these words came out, the corpse fairy stopped licking blood, and suddenly started to slaughter those yellow tigers. Tofu was shocked at first, and then he was overjoyed, and also started to shoot secretly.Needless to say how bloody the process was, but everyone was more or less bitten badly, one or two fainted, only Ouyang Xuan, because the tofu ran towards her at that time, so the corpse fairy was the first Going to rescue her, she wasn't bitten at all, but there was a long scar on her face.

I immediately realized why Ouyang Xuan was crying. In fact, the recovery ability of the face is very poor, and this girl will definitely have a scar on her face.

With guilt on his face, Tofu took all the responsibility on himself, and said, "It's all my fault for being too timid. If I had stood up from the beginning, you wouldn't have been hurt, and neither would Xuanxuan..." I patted him shoulders, not much to say.I know that Tofu seems to really like Ouyang Xuan this time, and his mood must be very painful at the moment, but to be honest, Ouyang Xuan is indifferent to me. , is really not a happy thing.

But I still comforted Tofu and said: "The environment was dangerous at that time, and no one expected it. It is your credit that everyone is still alive."

Tofu didn't make a sound. I wanted to fool him and make him feel at ease, but this time I found that my trick of fooling me seemed to have failed.

For a while, I didn't know what to say, Tofu made me something to eat, and while I was eating, I looked at the corpse fairy who was following him.To be honest, I was very shocked at this moment, because according to the situation described by Tofu, it shows that the corpse fairy has begun to listen to people's orders.As long as it can listen to people's commands, many problems before my eyes can be easily solved.

I thought about it, and called the corpse fairy, "Come here." The corpse fairy's eyeballs rolled and stayed on my body for less than a second, then moved away again, and while following the tofu, he picked up his clothes and licked them. Blood.It seemed that it already had some hazy consciousness, and it didn't like the blood on its body.

My heart skipped a beat, and I remembered that feather coat.The feather cloak of that thing is waterproof, if a pot of blood is splashed on it, the blood will roll down without leaving any traces.So I said to the corpse fairy: "Do you still remember your previous clothes, that clothes were snatched away."

It took a while for the corpse fairy to spit out a sentence slowly: "Clothes... clothes... blood... need..."

I said, "You want to come back, don't you?"

This conversation may be too complicated for the corpse fairy, it tilted its head, looked at me blankly, and did not speak again.Tofu understood what I meant, and said, "Old Chen, we are injured in the team now, and there are no ancient ruins in this oasis. Our plan this time is probably abolished."

I looked at Zhuan Rui, who was sleeping not far away, and said, "Let him decide whether to waste or not, but Xiaodou, it's lucky that you came this time, otherwise... the consequences would be unimaginable." Tofu was still depressed, and sighed In a low tone, he said: "Listen to what you said just now, do you want Mu Mu to get Yuyi back?"

I shook my head and said: "I just want to test its consciousness. Even if you want to take Yuyi, it's not now. It's too difficult to handle now."

Tofu seems to be thinking about something, I rarely see him showing such an expression, this kid has always said something, but now he seems to know how to hide it.In another way, this is a kind of growth, but for some reason, I feel uncomfortable.

After a while, Tofu suddenly said: "I have an idea. If you want to grow the corpse fairy's consciousness faster, you have to give it something to eat. I think the Earth Ghost King is a good tonic." Tofu's words coincided with mine, of course , Our purpose is different, I want to avenge my grandfather, Tofu probably really wants to raise the corpse fairy earlier.

I nodded and didn't answer.

At this time, Tofu looked at Ouyang Xuan in the distance, and the guilt in his eyes was stronger. I always feel that Tofu is noisy, and my heart is so bright that people want to slap him, but now seeing him like this, I feel angry instead. Can't help saying: "She is the one who wants to follow, and she has to bear all the consequences."

Tofu said: "I failed to protect her, I..."

I interrupted him and sneered, "Why do you want to protect her? Give me a reason? Just because you like her? You don't know yet, she is Zhuanrui's fiancée, she is the fifth lady of the Guo family in the capital, and the two families are married. , Zhuanrui wants to swallow the Guo family's property. What do you think... what are you?"

Tofu felt as if he had been struck by lightning. After a while, he said, "You already knew this?"

"Yes."

"why did not you tell me?"

I said: "I've been trying to stop you and her together, but it's only been three days. I believe it's not to the point of dying or living. This matter has nothing to do with you. It's not you who is troubled by her disfigurement, but Zhuan. Ray is right."

Tofu scolded: "You bastard." Immediately afterwards, he punched me. I was injured and couldn't move, so I was knocked down to the ground, and my face was probably half swollen.I got angry all of a sudden, and was about to fight him regardless of my injuries, when the kid said with tears in his eyes: "Actually, you are right, we have only known each other for two days, and we are not dying, let's talk about her I don’t like me either. But I just feel bad, I’m so useless, I used to always hold you back, and now I can’t even protect a girl in the team, you didn’t see that scar is too scary... Woooo... If I had been braver and saved people earlier, this would not have happened."

As soon as the words fell, Ouyang Xuan seemed to hear Tofu's cry, so she raised her head and glanced at us.In an instant, I saw a long bloodstain stretching from her forehead to the bridge of her nose on her originally beautiful and lovely face. In the firelight, that face with tears and resentment was faintly scary.

I looked away, the anger in my heart dissipated immediately, sighed, and finally patted Tofu on the shoulder, saying: "There are always things in life that I regret, and there are always things that cannot be changed. There are no ifs, nothing People have an obligation to protect who, if it wasn't for you this time, all of us would die here. So...you didn't do anything wrong, if you're really suffering now, you can punch me again."

"Really?"

I calmly said: "Fake."

Tofu wiped away her tears, seemed to have regained her strength, and said, "I will take good care of her in the future."

I wondered if I heard it wrong, and said, "Ouyang Xuan? Xiaodou, I've told you very clearly that she is Zhuan Rui's fiancée, and...is she disfigured now?"

Tofu was about to speak, when suddenly Ouyang Xuan stood up and rushed towards us with a pistol in her hand.That originally beautiful face was full of resentment and uncontrollable tears, and she yelled at Tofu: "It's all you cowardly bastard, I don't like you, you deliberately want to see me like this to ridicule me, don't you?" I'm going to kill you!" Obviously, Ouyang Xuan, who was spoiled since she was a child, probably hasn't experienced too many blows in life. She couldn't bear this kind of pain, so she vented her resentment on Tofu, thinking that he saved people too much. Night.

People in this world are like this. Many times, they will subconsciously transfer their dissatisfaction and injustice to a seemingly gentle and kind person. As a result, such a person is gradually forced from a good person to a bad person.In the end, those people turned their heads and began to complain about why there are no good people in this world.

There is a devil living in everyone's heart.

But now, Ouyang Xuan passed on her resentment and pain to Tofu.

I was very angry and shouted: "Stop!"

Tofu was dumbfounded by Ouyang Xuan's scolding, and didn't even know how to dodge for a while, but Ouyang Xuan lost her mind and snapped off the board.
