Chapter 703 Misty Village

"Thank you, No. 4!"

The ashes disappear completely.

The whole space was shaking.

The long and narrow passage is already collapsing.

"Ouch——"

The roar of the monster echoed around.

An ugly face poked its head out from behind the passage.

I opened the door, faced the light, and ran out without looking back.

Light and shadow change.

The whole world went silent.

When I opened my eyes again, I had arrived in a new space.

It's chaos here.

The fog was thick.

Nothing can be seen.

I wiped the sweat from my forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyway, it's a step up.

There doesn't seem to be any danger now.

I take a short break.

I took out the mineral water and took a few sips.

I checked the time by the way.

I don’t know where Wangcai and Fuguier are.

But what I should worry about more than them is myself.

I looked at the time.

There are still about 3 hours until dawn.

time is limited.

There are still 4 floors in total, so hurry up.

Putting away the remaining half bottle of water, I began to look at the foggy world.

The fog has changed a little compared to when I first arrived.

Lightened in places.

The outlines of some undulating mountains can be vaguely seen in the distance.

I walked cautiously in that direction.

The white fog is getting lighter and lighter.

Finally, the front suddenly became clear.

In front of you is a large flat field, and behind the field is a small village.

And I was standing at the foot of a big mountain.

The mountain is shrouded in white mist and is very mysterious.

There are people working in the fields.

That should be where I want to go.

I just took a step.

"Brother, are you here to take me home?"

A hoarse child's voice came from the white mist next to him.

"who?"

I turned to look.

The grass was rustling and swaying, and a little girl of five or six years old came out and looked at me timidly.

The clothes are dirty and the hair is disheveled, like a little beggar.

Only those eyes were clear and translucent.

"Who are you?"

"I am Xiaochong, and my home is over there." The little girl stretched out her dirty fingers and pointed in the direction of the village.

"You know where your home is, you can go back by yourself." I felt funny.

The village is not far from the foot of the mountain, and there are no side roads.

From here, you can see the village.

Even though she was young, it wasn't that difficult to run towards a place where she could see her, right?

"I can't go back on my own."

The little girl lowered her head and twisted her fingers around her dirty clothes.

"Why?"

"My dad didn't let me go. He said I couldn't go back until he called me."

I was stunned for a moment.

Looking at the little girl's sallow complexion and malnutrition, I understood a little bit.

Abandoned daughter.

She must have been abandoned by her family.

"Brother, are you here to take me home?" The little girl raised her head, with a pair of expectant eyes that made people unable to bear to stare.

Looking at her, I thought of Yunze and Yunya.

"Sorry, I'm just passing through."

The little girl was stunned for a moment, her eyes quickly dimming.

He let out a hoarse voice, and his little body seemed to collapse.

He slowly turned around, got back into the grass in despair, sat there with his legs in his arms, and looked at the village in the distance in trance.

I looked at her and said with a smile: "Little sister, I haven't finished speaking yet."

"Although I'm just passing by, I can help you and take you home."

"Really?" The little girl jumped up happily, her eyes widened with surprise.

"Of course." I smiled and nodded.

This is not because of overflowing sympathy, but because of this little girl, I have a reason to enter the village.

besides.

What if she is the owner of this floor?

"That's great!"

"I can finally go home!"

But the little girl was happy for only two seconds, and a worried expression appeared on her sallow little face.

"But will daddy be angry?"

"It's okay. I'll help you say something nice to your father when you get home. He won't blame you."

"That's great! Thank you, big brother!"

The little girl smiled innocently.

"Let's go."

I took the little girl and walked to the village.

It looks far away, but it actually takes less than two steps to get there.

When the stranger arrived, the villagers working in the fields straightened up and looked at me with strange and wary eyes.

"Excuse me."

I smiled and waved to a kind-looking uncle, wanting to ask her where the little girl’s home was.

But when the little girl showed her little face from behind me, his eyes suddenly turned frightened, and then he dropped the farm tools and ran away.

Other villagers had the same reaction as him.

Seeing the little girl was like seeing a terrifying monster, so she ran back to the village in panic.

"what happened?"

I looked back at the little girl.

She stood timidly on the ridge of the field, her disheveled hair blown by the wind, and confusion written on her little face.

There was nothing scary behind her.

"Are they afraid of you?"

The little girl shook her head and said nothing.

"Then where is your home? You should know the way, right?"

"Um."

The little girl nodded and walked in front of me to lead the way.

After walking a few steps, he stopped and walked toward the village together with me.

Seems very scared.

There are not many residents in the village, and there are only twenty or thirty houses in the village.

Walking into the village, the little girl seemed to be even more frightened. She reached out and grabbed the hem of my clothes, her expression became uneasy.

Bright eyes, carefully looking at both sides.

The village was quiet.

No one was walking around outside except us.

The villagers were hiding.

In his own home, he looked at us fearfully through the cracks in the door and through the windows.

They are afraid of little girls.

The little girl seemed to be afraid of them too.

This is a bit interesting.

Walking quickly through the village, the little girl finally stopped when she reached the depths of the village.

Standing at the door of the low courtyard, she looked at the dilapidated gate uneasily.

I looked around, walked up and knocked on the door.

"Excuse me, is anyone there?"

"Is anyone here?"

The little girl stared nervously at the crack of the door, with a complicated expression, anxious and scared.

"Who?"

After a long while, a woman's weak voice came from inside.

"Ah, it's mom!" the little girl suddenly shouted excitedly.

Light footsteps sounded in the yard.

A village woman in coarse cloth walked slowly toward the courtyard gate.

"Hello, I'm a passerby. I met your daughter at the foot of the mountain over there and helped you bring her back."

I shouted into the inside.

The footsteps suddenly stopped.

The yard was quiet as if no one was around.

"Mom?" The little girl stared blankly at the courtyard door.

But soon, footsteps were rushing.

Bang!

The courtyard door was pushed open hard.

"Bug!"

The village woman rushed out, hugged the little girl, and cried with joy.

"Mother."

The little girl was so wronged that she lay in her mother's arms and cried bitterly.

Looking at the exciting scene of mother and daughter recognizing each other, I couldn't help but be even more confused.

This reaction does not look like a village woman actively abandoning her child.
