Drawing The Sword - C19
Under the setting sun, a weak figure followed closely behind a smaller figure that seemed even weaker than the wind …
Qi Xing never thought that the girl behind him would actually escape from the hands of a slave trader! Qi Xing had never thought that there was actually such a thing as trafficking in human beings. The girl’s name was Xue Yi. She had gone out to play by herself and was then carried away by a group of unknown people. Every day he ate nothing but leftovers, it was common for him to starve. From their words, it was clear that the girls with her were going to be sold to the brothel. Although Xue Yi didn’t know where the brothel was, she knew that it was definitely not a good place to go. If it wasn’t for the fire accident, which allowed Xue Yi to escape, perhaps Xue Yi’s fate would have been …
Qi Xing didn’t expect that ever since he gave Xue Yi a bun, he would see Xue Yi’s little figure hiding not far away, watching him almost every day. And every time Qi Xing got a few copper coins, he would give half of the steamed buns he bought to her. Gradually, the two of them got to know each other and understood Xue Yi’s story from it. Today, Xue Yi suddenly wanted to follow Qi Xing, so Qi Xing nodded with a smile. It wasn’t that Xue Yi hadn’t thought of going home, but how much could a seven-year-old girl know? Go home and call your father, Mother? There was a large courtyard at home that Xue Yi only remembered …
From then on, the city was filled with two thin and small figures that couldn’t be wiped out …
Unfortunately, Qi Xing did not earn a single cent today. All the inns, restaurants, merchant houses, etc., were all gone without food. Qi Xing had no choice but to search for food. In his eyes, there were only wild fruits to satisfy his hunger …
Qi Xing shook his dizzy head, then slowly pulled Xue Yi by the hand into the woods not far from the city. After searching for all sorts of edible food, Qi Xing came to a valley. After searching for half a day, Qi Xing finally realized that he was disappointed. “Huu.” Just when Qi Yi was about to give up, Xue Yi pulled her hand. Qi Xing turned around and saw Xue Yi’s other hand was pointing at a tree as thick as a person’s waist. Qi Xing looked towards the tree, and saw a fist-sized bright fruit hanging from the branch of the tree. However, Qi Xing did not know what fruit it was. Qi Xing asked Xue Yi, “Xue Yi, are you sure you can eat it?
“Yes, Father once gave me such a fruit, it seems to be called Scarlet Fruit. But I just took a bite and I felt full and warm all over. ” Xue Yi said happily.
Scarlet Fruit, a strange fruit in the world. It was bright red, the size of a fist, and the fruit was round! If a martial artist ate the Bone Ablutionary Scripture, they could possibly raise their inner strength by ten years! Ordinary people couldn’t give details on the benefits of increasing their physique, increasing their strength, extending their lifespan, and so on. Of course, it all depended on whether or not your body could withstand it. Otherwise …
“Xue Yi, wait for me here, I’ll go up and take it off.” Qi Xing said excitedly while rubbing his fists.
Xue Yi smiled and nodded vigorously. She had seen Qi Xing climb up a tree that was bigger than this one, so she stayed by the side quietly.
After Qi Xing finished talking, he ran to the tree and jumped over it. He hugged the tree trunk tightly to his limbs and started climbing upwards bit by bit …
Phew … Phew … Phew … Phew … Just now, he had almost used up all of his strength. Qi Xing realized that his mind was getting blurry and the dizziness was getting worse. However, when he saw the Scarlet Fruit on his left, Qi Xingqiang mustered his courage and grabbed the branch in his hand, moving closer to the Scarlet Fruit. Suddenly, Qi Xing frowned. Qi Xing seemed to faintly feel that the branches under his feet could no longer bear the pressure and became anxious. He looked at Xue Yi and said, “Xue Yi, come here quickly. I’ll throw it to you. You come and catch it.”
