Chapter 67:
Not only that, the wound on the thigh also seemed to show his presence, tormenting him with endless pain.
But…
At this time, in the wooden house by the road, a little girl who was wearing a pair of ponytails and dressed in a bit shabby and looked like ten years old ran over. She saw Yong Ye who was wobbly walking with injuries all over her body. , not only did not run away, but cautiously leaned forward, held up a not very new bandage with both hands, and wanted to hand it to him.
"Big brother, you have a lot of injuries. I found this after searching a lot of houses. Let me use it for you."
Yong Ye, who was still temporarily unable to hear her tinnitus, parsed the words of the little girl in front of her through her lips.
"...At this time, should I say...thank you?"
A little girl with bandages suddenly appeared in the empty street. This strange situation made Yong Ye very puzzled. However, he was not very comfortable with the sudden kindness, but he hesitated for a while, as if thinking of something. He nodded secretly and took it.
"It's okay, it's okay~!"
Seeing Yong Ye taking the bandage, the little girl looked very happy. She waved her hand to indicate that she didn't need to thank him, and nodded with satisfaction, revealing a cute smile that is unique to children.
However, when she watched Yong Ye bandage her thighs, she suddenly grabbed the corner of her clothes nervously, looking hesitant.
Noticing her appearance, Yong Ye said disapprovingly.
"...What do you want to say? Just say it."
"That... eldest brother, my parents are dead... so, can you take me to the station?"
There was a haze on the little girl's face because she mentioned her parents, but in the end, she looked at him pitifully with her big beautiful eyes.
"...It's just on the way, it's okay to take you for a ride...Let's go together."
After thinking about it for a while, Yong Ye, who was almost able to speak normally after the treatment, nodded indifferently. For him, it happened to be on the same road, and it was not much to lead a person.
After all, he is not such an inhumane person. He doesn't mind helping others. Of course, he can do it without endangering himself.
"Thank you! Big brother, you are such a good person!"
"...Being called a good person is a really subtle feeling, but... being called a big brother is better than the uncle that Wuming was called at first..."
Looking at the smiling little girl in front of her with mixed feelings, Yong Ye unconsciously thought about it. She didn't know where to go at the moment, it was estimated that she was the nameless person who was locked up in Kecheng.
After bandaging the wound, after walking a distance, the little girl walking beside her suddenly looked at the undamaged, spare knife on Yong Ye's waist.
"By the way, big brother, you have a hard time walking, should I help you carry this heavy-looking knife?"
"Of course not... um~ then thank you."
Originally wanted to refuse directly, but Yong Ye thought about it, but he took off the knife that had some weight around his waist and put it in the little girl's hand.
Just like that, he continued walking, and as time passed, his tinnitus began to dissipate and his hearing gradually returned.
From time to time, the little girl pulled out the knife with a curious expression, looked at the dark red stripes on it made of Kabane's steel heart skin, and touched it with her hands from time to time.
"Big brother, this knife...do you still remember the people it killed?"
Suddenly, the little girl asked an unexpected question.
"Of course I don't remember, because this knife has never killed anyone."
As if answering one plus one equals two, Yong Ye answered this sentence without hesitation, and his appearance didn't look like he was lying at all.
"You lied! Since you don't have it, why are you still carrying a knife? If you don't kill people, what are you doing with a knife!"
"Self-defense."
"You mean... self-defense?"
The girl gradually slowed down and retreated behind Yong Ye, her tone gradually becoming low.
"...Big brother, it's not good to lie to others, right?"
"No, what I say is true, believe it or not."
"...Liar!"
I don't know when the girl pulled out the long knife, her face became hideous, her innocence disappeared, replaced by overflowing hatred.
The little hands held the handle of the knife with some difficulty, and aimed the tip of the knife at Yongye's back. It seemed that she could penetrate Yongye's body with just a slight push.
"You scum! Demon! My dad! My mom! My grandma! My family! All, all, all, all, all—all! Killed by you!?"
"Well, I remembered that I saw you on the Iron City. I thought it was a mistake, but I didn't expect my memory to be so good."
Even if someone pointed a knife at Yongye's back, he didn't care. In contrast, the person holding the knife was quite emotional.
But in fact, when he heard this child say that, he also felt very confused. When did he kill the whole family?
And according to this child's statement, it sounds like Yong Ye has slashed the person who did such a thing with one sword, but the problem is that he doesn't have this impression at all?
Did you find the wrong enemy? Hmm... It doesn't seem like he's made a mistake looking at the look of this kid who wants to eat his blood and drink his flesh.
So...what the **** is going on here?
…
In fact, the little girl in front of Yong Ye was indeed a person from the Iron Fortress.
The key to the Iron Fortress was taken away by Yongye, and the people on the Iron Fortress naturally had no way to leave the fortress, so they could only temporarily stay here and live on the Iron Fortress.
It is precisely because of this that when the city was broken, the people on the original armored iron city were still in this fortress. The little girl was originally waiting to evacuate on the armored iron city, but... she heard Ban Heng holding the key to the armored iron city. What to say to other people who asked to leave.
"My Master, Master Sword Saint is still facing off against that monster! Never leave!"
This sentence made the little girl think about it immediately, and slipped out of the station when no one was paying attention.
The corpses and human organs along the way made her afraid, but the unforgettable hatred was unforgettable, and even made her overcome the fear of the large number of corpses.
She thought that Yong Ye would definitely be injured in a duel with a monster, and then she would be able to use her age to kill the demon who killed all her family.
And just at that time, the unforgettable enemy, or should be said to be recognizable when turned into ashes, crossed the top of her head from the sky, and fell to a place in the distance that is not known to be separated by a few streets.
The little girl spent a certain amount of time searching in the empty streets full of corpses, hoping to deliver a fatal blow. No matter how bad it was, she also wanted to torture the corpse and cut the enemy who took her everything into pieces.
It's a pity that Yong Ye had already started meditating when she found her. Although she looked seriously injured and closed her eyes, she didn't know what she was doing, but she didn't have anything that could kill her.
It was at this time that she remembered that she had a bandage in the Iron Fortress that the cooking aunt used to use for the dog, and she used it to play with it.
In the end, she restrained her hatred and put on a childlike smile, and then there was the next thing.
If she was able to endure because of the things she had experienced in this world on the verge of doomsday, she still had things she couldn't bear.
