Mortal Bones

After saying that, his figure suddenly dissipated in place like a cloud of mist.

Looking at the disappearing figure of Mr. Da, and recalling the situation when he was practicing swordsmanship with Sansan layman, Xu Taiping murmured:

"I still feel that this gentleman is a little different from the master I know."

Not long after Mr. Da left, Xu Taiping, who was silently consolidating his Qi and blood essence, suddenly felt that the spiritual power of the bronze ring had been restored.

So he snapped his fingers without hesitation and said:

"accelerate."

Almost at the same time he snapped his fingers, the scene around him began to change like a revolving lantern.

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed.

However, although time passed faster, the memories related to these few days entered Xu Taiping's mind exactly.

In the past ten days, the number of people coming to spit has obviously decreased day by day.

In the end, pedestrians on the street even began to ignore his existence.

But the only thing that remained unchanged was that almost every night late at night, the girl would come to deliver food to Qi Zhou.

And from the girl's vague words and the gossip heard in the surrounding teahouses and restaurants, Xu Taiping finally learned that this girl was originally from a small village called Yangliugou in the west. villagers.

About three years ago, a severe drought occurred in Yangliugou, causing hundreds of people in the village to lose their harvest.

Later, the Hong family in the town that killed the Buddha tried some tricks and sold several hundred people in Yangliugou to the town.

Most of these people, the men, were sent to nearby mines, while the women and children were resold to some human traffickers in the town who were engaged in the skin and flesh business.

This girl named Tian Li was kept as a maid by the Hong family master.

It's just that this young woman is very stubborn. When the young master of the Hong family used force, she actually broke the young master of the Hong family's life.

In order to take revenge on the girl, the Hong family master gathered all the dandies in the town and locked Tian Li in the room for a whole month.

It wasn't until the doctor diagnosed Tian Li that she was pregnant, and then she was released.

When she was released, the girl had a mental breakdown and was acting foolishly all day long.

But for some reason, she seemed to know that she was pregnant. No matter how much the Hong family master humiliated her, she would still eat on time every day.

Even if the Hong family master poured the food into the muddy water, she would still eat it.

The most amazing thing is that even after eating these dirty and rotten meals, the fetus in the girl's belly is still extremely healthy.

So what happened was that the young master of the Hong family tied the girl to the carriage and dragged her around every day.

It's just that fate is not as good as fate. The Hong family master did not kill Tian Li and the fetus in his belly. Instead, he ran into Qi Zhou, the god of death, and ended his own life.

"Pap, tap..."

Under the night, while Xu Taiping, who was still hanging, was "recalling" what he had seen and heard in the past few days, the sound of intermittent footsteps suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

Looking around, he saw the girl Tian Li coming to deliver food to him again.

Xu Taiping discovered that when he was delivering food to him, there was nothing unusual about the girl's aura, and she even limped when she walked.

But every time when the Hong family comes to arrest her, she seems to have changed. Not only is her body extremely agile, but her aura has also become extremely cold.

"Daddy."

At this time, the girl Tian Li finally came to Xu Taiping.

However, Xu Taiping discovered that for some reason, the look in Tian Li's eyes today was obviously much darker than before.

When Tian Li handed over a half-rotten pear that was only the size of a child's fist, Xu Taiping immediately understood.

Then, Tian Li said with a tone full of self-blame:

"Dad, I only found this pear today."

Xu Taiping glanced at the rotten pear in the girl's hand, then at the girl's two bloody arms, and suddenly his heart softened and he said:

"I haven't eaten pears for a long time. Ah Li, please give us a taste."

Seeing that Xu Taiping didn't dislike the rotten pear, Na Tianli's originally gloomy eyes suddenly brightened a bit.

She nodded repeatedly, then faced the rotten half to herself and handed the good half to Xu Taiping's mouth.

Xu Taiping took a bite.

Although the rotten pear tasted a bit sour, Xu Taiping still ate it with gusto.

After taking another bite, Xu Taiping smiled faintly at Na Tianli and said:

"You eat too."

Tianli nodded.

However, when eating the pear, she did not eat the good half, but ate the rotten half.

Although he knew that Tian Li's body was very human, when he saw that the girl would rather eat rotten pears than leave the good ones to her father, Xu Taiping felt a sour feeling in his heart.

After Tian Li took a bite of the pear, he immediately smiled brightly and said:

"Dad, although it's a bit rotten, this pear is still sweet."

Xu Taiping smiled and nodded:

"Yes, very sweet."

Xu Taiping glanced at the girl's arms and suddenly asked curiously:

"Who injured these two arms of yours?"

When Tian Li heard this, he raised his arms and looked at them, then shook his head and said:

"It's okay, dad. I accidentally injured it. It doesn't hurt anymore."

Xu Taiping ignored Tian Li's answer and said directly:

"It's the Hong family, right?"

In the past two days, the Hong family has been sending people to hunt down the girl in the town. This is why the girl cannot get food these days.

Hearing Xu Taiping reveal the origin of the wound on her body, the girl who was already full of grievances suddenly turned red in her eyes, pouted, then lowered her head, pinched the corners of her clothes and said:

"Dad, let's go home?"

"Dad, in a few days, the wheat at home will be ripe. It's time for us to go home and harvest the wheat."

This is not the first time the girl has said this to Xu Taiping.

However, Xu Taiping ignored him the first few times because it was obvious that neither he nor Qi Zhou could answer this question.

"boom!"

However, just after Xu Taiping ignored the girl's words again, the girl's head suddenly exploded.

The vortex of time in the Nine Abyss once again tore Xu Taiping's body apart and swallowed it.

When Xu Taiping woke up again, the scene in front of him returned to the scene when the girl said to him, "Daddy, I want to go home."

Seeing this, Xu Taiping was a little surprised and said:

"Could it be that I shouldn't have ignored the girl's question just now, but should have given an answer?!"

After a moment of confusion, Xu Taiping's eyes suddenly lit up and said:

"It seems that after Ah Li asked this question, Qi Zhou did not continue to ignore it, but made a decision!"

But immediately, a new problem appeared in front of Xu Taiping——

"What would Qi Zhou choose?"
