snake king beside

Chapter 238
"Heishi, remember, you must not hurt them when you find them, you must bring them back alive, you must not hurt a single hair of them, you know?!" head, then saluted and continued to walk towards the entrance of the cave.

The man in white stood where he was, with his hands behind his back, with a smile of expectation and satisfaction on his face. He fantasized how happy it would be if the person in his heart stayed by his side. Now there is only one less her, and so on. When she returned to her side, her careful plan would be slowly implemented to fulfill what he thought was a great ambition.

The bamboo forest in the mountains is dark and humid. Yuan Min is a snake and can bear it, but Chu Lixiang is a human being after all. Such an environment will make her feel very cold and uncomfortable, not to mention that she was injured. Waking up in the middle of the night, a dull pain in her arm made her more awake. She opened her eyes and looked at her right arm, which had been bandaged. ignited the fire, but Yuan Min was nowhere to be seen. She stood up anxiously holding her arms.

"Xiao Min...Xiao Min..." Chu Lixiang called Yuan Min in a circle, hoping that she would be fine, that everything would be fine for her, that she was nearby, and she told herself over and over again in her heart, But no one agreed to her.

Chu Lixiang was really anxious, and was about to find her, only to hear a voice in the distance responding to herself: "I'm here, I'm here..." It was Yuan Min's voice, and she turned towards the source of the voice She ran away, afraid that Yuan Min would be found by that old man again, so she ran quickly.

"Xiao Min, are you okay? Are you injured? Where did you go?" Chu Lixiang forgot about his injuries, and helped Yuan Min, who was covered in dust, to look carefully, thinking that she was being chased.

"I'm fine, I'm fine...Sister Xiang, what do you think this is?" Yuan Min looked at Chu Lixiang with a smile, and held up a fat hare in his hand to show her.

Chu Lixiang looked at the things in the lovely Yuan Min's hands, and realized that he was thinking too much, and he was relieved after taking a breath, "You caught this? Why didn't you wake me up? How nice we go together , do you know how worried I am when you walk away like this? Are you not allowed to know like this in the future?" The two walked side by side to the fire, and Chu Lixiang instructed Yuan Min like elders as they walked.

Yuan Min smiled at her: "Do you think I'm alright? I don't know where it is, there's no one there, and I've gone to several places, as if they're all staying in place. It's hard to find this place. Little rabbit, let's go and eat some roasted rabbit meat!" Yuan Min pulled Chu Lixiang forward as he said.

"Ah..." Chu Lixiang's arm hurt from being pulled, and she cried out softly. Yuan Min remembered that she was injured, and nervously checked her wound: "I'm sorry, it hurts, right? I didn't mean to It's..." Yuan Min apologized repeatedly with embarrassment and distress on his face.

Chu Lixiang scratched her little black nose and smiled: "It's okay, it's just a little pain, you found the dragon tooth grass? Thank you, Xiao Min..." She looked at Yuan Min's appearance, really from the bottom of her heart Grateful to her, "Look at your body, is this little rabbit so hard to catch? It's all dirty, and your face, look, it's become a little cat, hehe..." Chu Lixiang said while helping Yuan Min patted the dust off his body.

"Hey...you don't know, it took me a lot of effort to catch this little rabbit... almost let it run away..." The two continued to walk side by side, Yuan Min described it to Chu Lixiang The plot of chasing rabbits by herself, dancing and dancing, this is the Yuan Min that Chu Lixiang has never seen before, but she thinks this should be the real Yuan Min, she always pretends to be herself, but in her heart she is an innocent Just grown up little girls.

The two cuddled together and looked at the little rabbit that was gradually being roasted. The two of them could not bear to look at each other, "Sister Xiang, don't look at me like that. I also think it's too cruel. Take this rabbit." The little rabbit satiates my hunger, but I really can’t find anything else to eat, I just saw it..." Yuan Min was originally a kind girl, but the two of them didn’t eat much for a day, and if they didn’t show their hearts, they would suffer. Hungry, she said shyly with her head down.

Chu Lixiang touched Yuan Min's head, smiled gently at her and said, "Xiao Min, I know you don't want to, but in our current situation, we can only sacrifice this little rabbit. When we get to the Snake Palace, let's pray for this little rabbit, thank you for saving our lives, okay?" Chu Lixiang comforted the simple Yuan Min, and took her into his arms like a big sister , the two looked at the rabbit on the fire, both full of gratitude.

"I'm here to pray now." After finishing speaking, Yuan Min clasped his hands to the little rabbit that was roasting on the fire, looked at it seriously and said, "Little rabbit, don't blame the two of us, we...we too I’m so hungry, and sister Xiang was injured, so I feed you. Don’t be angry. After I return to the Snake Palace, I will pray for you every day, so that you will be reborn as a little hare in the next life, okay? Please forgive me..." Yuan Min really worshiped it with his hands on the ground.

Chu Lixiang looked at Yuan Min's seriousness, and felt that she was really innocent. No wonder Grandma Qi asked her to practice martial arts and learn more things every day. It turned out that Yuan Min was so cute and innocent. Looking at her, Chu Lixiang Li Xiang shook his head helplessly and smiled.

The two ate the roasted rabbit meat and drank the spring water dripping from the cracks in the stone. The exhaustion of the day was relieved. After eating and drinking enough, the two found some dry leaves and spread them in the firehouse. Looking down at the stars in the sky, I was thinking about my own thoughts...

"Sister Xiang, can you tell me your story? I want to hear it." Yuan Min tilted his head, looked at Chu Lixiang beside him and asked. He is also a curious person, and he has long wanted to know more. She has never had a chance, and she can't save face. Now that the two have become friends and sisters, they should talk about everything.

Chu Lixiang also turned her head sideways, looking at Yuan Min's pure and innocent eyes, "Then what do you want to hear? I'll tell you." She didn't know which aspect of herself Yuan Min was curious about, no matter what it was, I want to tell her. Although some past events will make my heart ache, and I will think of memories I don’t want to remember, but at this moment, there is nothing that can make me hurt again. Looking at the stars in such a beautiful and exciting wilderness, memories Reminiscing about the past may also be a good memory worth lingering in the future.

"Anything is fine. I want to hear it. Let's talk about it since you were a child. However, if you don't want to say it, you can say it. You can say whatever you want. I love to hear it..." Yuan Min raised her head She regained her spirits and looked at Li Xiang expectantly, but she was afraid that she would say something sad, so she said it with embarrassment.

"Well, then I will tell you from when I was a child, if you are sleepy, you can go to sleep, you know?" Chu Lixiang looked at her expectant eyes and said, because she knew that there were too many stories about her. , so it will definitely take a long, long time to talk, so I told Yuan Min in advance.

Yuan Min looked at her with squinted eyes and nodded. The tired expression on her face just now turned into eyes full of surprise and anticipation. She should be full of sleep at this time, but now she is full of energy. She lay down and listened carefully. Listen to the story that Chu Lixiang will tell next.

Chu Lixiang tidied up his clothes, laid his injured arm by his side, put the other arm under his head, looked at the bright stars in the sky, and took a deep breath, "My childhood was not like yours. So many people love me, my mother...that is, my mother left me when I was very young, and I lived with my father since I was a child..." At first Chu Lixiang thought that he would talk about it calmly Painful memories, but when she mentioned her father, she couldn't help but choked up.

"Sister Xiang, do you have a deep relationship with your father? He loves you very much?" Yuan Min could hear her sadness, even if she would see her parents when she wanted to, she would feel sad that she couldn't be with them Beside her, one can imagine how Chu Lixiang is feeling now, she looked up at the starry sky and asked.

Chu Lixiang smiled slightly and calmed down his mood, "When I was abducted by others, I hated my father very much. I thought he didn't love me or hurt me, so I always hated him, so that I changed from the one who made me into a father. I escaped from the killer’s place and never looked for him. Later... your brother Feimo told me that my father did a lot of things to find me, until finally he felt sorry for my mother...so...suicide..." She didn't want to mention this thing that she regretted now, but she also wanted Yuan Min to know that she should not do something that she regretted just because of her own thoughts.

"Sister Xiang, don't be sad. Your father must be looking at you somewhere and wishing you blessings. If he knows that you are living so well now, he will be happy too. I heard Brother Chu mention this One point, from now on, Brother Feimo, me, and everyone in the Snake Palace will accompany you, and you will no longer be lonely..." Yuan Min leaned against her tightly, comforting her, listening to Chu Lixiang If so, my eyes are moist.

Chu Lixiang nodded with tears in her eyes, "Yes, now I have a little sister, and I have a family..." She sighed deeply, looked at the sky with a smile, she thought, her father must have turned into the sky When a certain star looks at me again, it will bless myself, and even more so, the one I love.

"Sister Xiang, how did you escape from the devil's lair that trained you to kill? I heard brother Chu say that if you humans are ruthless, it's scary and inhumane. Is that true? Then how did you escape?" Min wanted to know more about her affairs in the world, and was also very curious. Looking at Chu Lixiang who looked like a gentle little woman, she never thought that she would be a killer.

Chu Lixiang lowered his eyes and looked at Yuan Min who raised his head and looked at him, "I was trained by cruel people to train us kidnapped children in the way of training devils. I have a very good friend who is a boy. Son, we grew up day by day, and the closer we got, the closer we became, and we became good friends who talked about everything at that time. We children had to compete with each other, and it was the kind of real swords and guns..." As she spoke, the image of the time at that time appeared in front of her eyes. Horrible and hateful.

"That means you have to kill each other to keep yourself alive?" Yuan Min raised his head again, looked at her with a slight frown and asked, feeling a little sad in his heart.

"Well, it's like this, so we have to be ruthless, so I can live until now I have a lot of friends who grew up with me..." Chu Lixiang's voice choked up again, thinking of the bloody scene , She closed her eyes and didn't dare to think about the companions who made her often have nightmares.

"Sister, I'm sorry, I reminded you of sad things again, don't talk about it, the more you talk about it, the sadder you will be, those past events will appear, and you will be even sadder." Yuan Min looked at her distressed expression and knew that she shouldn't go Ask these things that make her sad, and persuade her.

"I'm fine. These things have passed. Now that I think about it, I'm fighting life and death every time. I'm one of the lucky ones, so I think about everything I do now so that I can't let myself regret it in the future, otherwise In the future, I will be as sad as I am now..." There was something in Chu Lixiang's words, reminding himself that he also wanted Yuan Min to use himself as an intermediary, and not do things that would make him regret.

Yuan Min nodded thinking about what she said, as if wondering if he had done anything that he regretted so far, then turned his head to look at Chu Lixiang's side face and asked: "Then in this environment you How can you escape? There must be many people watching you, right?" She always wanted to know how Chu Lixiang escaped from the place that made her sad.

Chu Lixiang also turned his face to look at Yuan Min who was staring at him and smiled: "I was able to escape because of my friend's help. Originally, the two of us discussed a plan, and the two of us split up, because I was going to escape. After accepting the test, he will help me play the backcourt, and wait for my information to come up with the countermeasures we have discussed..." She paused and continued: "Later, I killed my boss as planned, who is what you call the master, and then My companion was responsible for blowing up that place, and then we escaped together, but...I escaped, but he...couldn't come out..." Chu Lixiang thought of this and tears flowed from his eyes.

Yuan Min wiped her tears for her, and couldn't bear to ask any more, "Stop talking, I know how you feel, although I have never had such an experience like yours, but I can feel your heartache, sister, Are you very homesick now?" Yuan Min listened to her story and felt that she used to be too willful, never considered the consequences, and always made Grandma Qi angry, but now thinking about how ignorant she is, she can't help thinking of After the days in the Snake Palace, I feel homesick, and when I live alone like Chu Lixiang, I must feel even more homesick.

"Home is the place where each of us lives. We will definitely think about it after being away from home for a long time, but I don't have time to miss home right now. I want to know if Chu has found Feimo and Uncle Bai now. Moreover, Granny Qi should have been gone by now. We know about our disappearance, so we have to go back to the Snake Palace as soon as possible." Hearing what Yuan Min said, Chu Lixiang knew that she wanted the Snake Palace, and at the same time reminded himself that the Snake Palace must be working for him and herself. Yuan Min's disappearance is anxious.

"Yeah, they must be in a hurry when we ran out like this, and they all blamed me for sneaking out without thinking about the consequences... Grandma Qi must be very angry now..." Yuan Min said that Grandma Qi appeared in front of her eyes. With angry eyes, I can't help but feel a little lost after thinking about it.

"Xiao Min, do you know how much Granny Qi loves you? Everything she does is for your own good. Now that you are missing, she should be very anxious and sad. Sometimes adults treat us Being strict doesn’t mean that they don’t love us, but it’s because they love us that they are so well-intentioned, do you know?” Chu Lixiang persuaded her with his own experience, hoping that she could understand Granny Qi’s painstaking efforts.

Yuan Min listened to her words, although she didn't fully understand the feeling, but she knew that what she said was the truth, that she had been self-willed and ignored Grandma Qi's love for her, how much she wanted to go back to her aunt at this moment and tell her that she had I love her so much, but... Thinking of this, Yuan Min blinked in frustration.

Chu Lixiang pulled his hand from under his head and stroked Yuan Min's head, "Okay, don't be sad, after tonight we will find our way home? We will definitely be able to return to the Snake Palace, we must believe in ourselves! She smiled and cheered Yuan Min up, giving her confidence. Although she didn't know if she could find her way home, as long as she had confidence, she would definitely be able to do it.

Yuan Min shook her hand and nodded, she believed that Chu Lixiang would do what he said, the two of them were silent for a moment, looking at the shining stars every day, Yuan Min slowly fell asleep, and she was also tired After a busy afternoon, Chu Lixiang looked at Yuan Min who was sleeping with her eyes closed, with a satisfied smile on the corner of her mouth, she turned her head, held Yuan Min's hand and closed her eyes to rest.

I don't know how long it took, Chu Lixiang was awakened by the sound of hurried footsteps. She felt that the footsteps were still far away from them, but she was sure they were walking in her direction. She immediately sat up, her arms still aching slightly , But it's not important, she hurriedly woke up Yuan Min who was still sleeping soundly: "Xiao Min, Xiao Min, get up, hurry up!" She anxiously pushed Yuan Min who was still lying down.

Yuan Min was woken up by her anxious voice, she still didn't know what happened: "What's wrong... Sister Xiang," she lazily looked up at the sky, feeling that it was not dawn yet, she wanted to lie down and go to sleep, But he was pulled up by Chu Lixiang.

"Xiao Min, hurry up, someone is coming towards us, I don't know if it is the old Taoist priest, we have to leave here now, my injury is not healed yet, we can't fight recklessly, we have to leave here quickly!" Chu Li Xiang said very calmly, and looked around to see if anyone appeared.

Hearing what she said, Yuan Min jumped up from the ground, followed Chu Lixiang and ran in another direction, asking Chu Lixiang her puzzled questions while running:
