Chapter VIII Hungry
Xiao An slowly pulled back his hand, looked at the hero Mo, Taoist Master Yuguan and the three monks who suddenly knelt on their knees, fell down and bowed, pressed his head against the ground, and knocked three times in a row. Then, he slowly stood up. In the surprised and complicated eyes of everyone, he slowly said: "Heroes, Xiao An is leaving here. Sister Liu's funeral, thank you for your help!"
All the righteous people here were injured because of protecting him. He did not thank him. Instead, he thanked him for praying for everyone to deal with Grandma Liu's funeral. Obviously, in his mind, Grandma Liu's affairs were much more concerned than he himself.
Everyone couldn't help but feel shocked, as if this child had suddenly grown up after this trouble.
Hero Mo was slightly stunned and said, "Xiao An, you..."
Taoist Master Yuguan sighed and said, "It's better to let him go. The people here are all useless people. If some bad people come, they really can't protect him. If he leaves this place, he may have a glimmer of life."
In fact, this is true.
Not to mention that the three monks were physically disabled and were unable to move, and the hero Mo was seriously injured, and his skills were not improved, which was like a useless person. Even Taoist Master Yuguan himself was corroded by the "Dry Wood Palm" of the dead tree. He only protected his heart meridian with the last breath of true energy. If he fought with someone again, his true power would fluctuate and his heart meridian would be lost. He would immediately die and his heart meridian would fall in the hall.
Master Huitong sighed helplessly and said, "Little donor, take care of yourself and be careful on the road. If you walk out, please go home quickly and don't worry about it."
Xiao An nodded and said, "Xiao An follows the master's teachings, take care of the master. You guys take care of it too. Xiao An is here."
Xiao An decided to make up his mind, without any hesitation, raised his foot and turned around and ran toward the direction. Mo Daxia was slightly stunned, thinking why this child was still walking back, wouldn’t that be a sending sheep into the tiger’s mouth? He couldn’t help but raise his hand and wanted to call Xiao An back. Master Huitong said, “Hero Mo, there is no saying that this bamboo forest is safe or not. Now, it’s just a matter of luck for the little donor. I hope that he will overcome this disaster by the human and heavenly world. Otherwise, with the temper of the Meng Daxia, the world will be hard to calm down.”
Hero Mo put down his hand, sighed softly, and was silent.

The jade rabbit tilted westward, completely darkened under the horizontal obstruction of the bamboo forest. Xiao An ran alone in the dark bamboo forest, stumbled and stumbled. He tripped over and fell to his nose and face, and was scratched by many thorns. When he saw the tile house of the Mu family from afar through the bamboo forest, his clothes, which were sloppy but still neat, were already full of holes and rags, and his face was covered with scars and bloodstains.
The most dangerous places are often the safest.
He understood this truth at a very young age.
Earlier, he stayed at Xiaoqiang's home and attracted more than a dozen masters from the martial arts world to be arrested. After he was taken away by Brother Chu, everyone must have thought that he was taken away from the bamboo forest.
Then, here should have become a firepower vacuum that is not for attention, because no one should have imagined that Xiao An returned to this place.
Therefore, this former hunting home ground is the safest.
Of course, the most important thing is that there is a small path leading outside at Xiaoqiang’s doorstep.
As for this path, Xiao An did not dare to walk on it openly no matter what. He could only follow the woods next to the path and follow the path in a direction. Xiao An did not hit Xiao Qiang and went over to his house, but identified the direction and ran around the nearby bamboo forest along the path outward.
It's almost dawn.
On the eve of dawn, the darkest part of the bamboo forest was pitch black like a ball of black cloth.
The surrounding area was very quiet. Apart from the roar of insects and frogs, Xiao An heard his turbid and rapid breathing, and the friction sound of his nearly numb calves running through the grass. Later, he could only hear the buzzing sound of his ears and breathing sounds like a bellows. He didn't know what was stumbled under his feet. He lost weight and flew out, fell to the ground and fainted.
When Xiao An woke up, he felt that the surroundings were not only dark, but also extremely strong in moisture, as if he was in a cellar.
When he slowly opened his eyes, he decisively admitted how accurate his judgment was.
This is indeed a very deep and large-scale cellar.
In the cellar, not only are there some jars and jars piled up, but there is also a wooden bed.
Now, Xiao An is lying on this wooden bed. Although the wooden bed is not only hard and a little cold, for Xiao An, he feels comfortable sleeping than any soft mat.
After all, he was just a ten-year-old child. Over the past night, his physical overspending and mental torture and blows were something he had never experienced, let alone that he could bear at his age.
That is, he was a child because he didn't have his own mother by his side, and he knew how to be self-reliant and his will was not comparable to children of the same age. If other children had suffered repeated tosses and blows last night, they would have collapsed long ago.
Of course, what Xiao An was concerned about was definitely not the jars and jars piled up on the jars and jars piled up on them, or the hard wooden bed beneath him, but the three men in black sitting opposite the bed and jutting about the jars and jars five feet away. Well, I don’t know if they were all wearing black clothes, but the cellar was pitch black, and it was difficult to identify their clothes. The reason why Xiao An could see the three of them was because they all focused their eyes on him, and their eyes released six cold and strange fluorescent lights, as if the wolf eyes wandering in the wilderness late at night looking for prey.
Xiao An moved slightly, and a cold voice seemed to be unable to help but say surprise: "Ah, he is awake."
A calm voice said: "Why are you anxious? The eldest young master was just frightened and overworked. In addition, the food and clothing were not maintained during this period, which led to fatigue and sleeping for a day and a night."
One day and one night?
Xiao An couldn't help but be surprised. Unexpectedly, he fainted and fell asleep for a day and a night. Moreover, he didn't know where these three people came from. Whether it was a bad luck or a good fortune or an unknown number when they fell into their hands.
The man who had been silent suddenly spoke, and his tone actually said in a gentle tone: "Young Master, don't be afraid, the three of us are righteous knights of the famous and upright sect. The one next to me is Mr. Zhuge Changmen of the Kongtong Sect, and that is Mr. Qi Lisheng of the Diancang Sect, and I am Ma Jingda of the Huashan Sect. We brought the eldest son here without any malice, because there are too many evil people in this area, especially the masters of the Yellow-Shirt Sect almost all out. However, the righteous people near us are seriously insufficient, so we can only avoid their sharp edges and hide the eldest son here, but we are wronged by the eldest son."
Xiao An was about to get up, but he was exhausted and had no strength at all. His stomach was still rumbling. He was obviously so hungry that he lacked the strength to get up.
The man who claimed to be Ma Jingda of Huashan School said, "Oh, Young Master is hungry, Mr. Zhuge, do you still have dry food?"
Zhuge Changmen beside him said, "There is still some cooked beef jerky, there is no water, but there is still some wine, but I wonder if the eldest young master can drink it?"
Xiao Andu said: "Thank you."
He did not answer whether he could drink or not, but just thanked him, which means that in his consciousness, he could accept anything that could not kill people.
