Chapter 218 Never gone far
Qin Shuxue suspected that Ying Yong had actually seen through her identity, otherwise why would he repeatedly use his thick skin on her? Qin Shuxue had always been a little overwhelmed, but now that she had a way to dodge, she naturally hurriedly used it: "Uncle...are all monks like this?"
Xie Mingce immediately received the message and shouted at Ying Yong, "Why are you always staring at my child? Why are you touching her? Aren't you cultivators? Why are you staring at the girls in the village?"
This was a very bad accusation. Ying Yong was shocked. Seeing Heng Li's murderous look, he quickly said, "No, no, uncle, you... I didn't mean that! I just thought this girl looked like a friend of mine. I didn't mean anything else. My friend and I are usually like this. I just like to hear her scold me... I won't say any more. Don't be angry, uncle. I'll go chop wood after dinner!"
"We took so much effort to cut the good wood, but you use it as firewood?" Xie Mingce seemed to be still angry, but he reluctantly accepted Ying Yong's words and put the matter aside. However, he still looked at Ying Yong with a vigilant look.
Ying Yong really didn't dare to say any more. He just lowered his head and ate his meal desperately, hoping to finish quickly and leave the table.
Finally, it was night and the group of people made a few beams. Seeing that it was getting late at night, everyone had to pack up and go to bed. Houses in almost half of the village were destroyed. Many people had no place to live, so every kang was crowded with people, leaving no space at all. Qin Shuxue was arranged to sleep with the little girls of several families. These children were fast and their families took care of them and ran far away. Basically, they were not injured, but a few of them couldn't help wiping their tears. It was probably because the adults in their family didn't survive. Several people were close to each other, and the crying of the child seemed to be right next to Qin Shuxue's ears. It was so miserable that she couldn't bear it. She could only pat the back of the girl next to her and comfort her in a low voice.
After doing this for half the night, the children's crying finally subsided and they fell asleep from exhaustion. Qin Shuxue was finally able to rest for a while. Just as she was about to close her eyes, there was a knock on the window. She sat up quickly with a start. With the moonlight outside, she saw Heng Li standing outside, looking at her intently. Qin Shuxue looked around to make sure Heng Li was not calling for someone else, and walked out the door nervously.
Heng Li stood under the pale moonlight, with the wreckage of the house scattered on the ground in the distance behind him. Qin Shuxue walked over rather shyly - she was afraid that Heng Li would beat her without saying a word. She really couldn't figure out what Heng Li was doing outside at this time, could he be so anxious that he had to work until late at night?
Heng Li saw Qin Shuxue lowering her head and looking around, and asked calmly, "Are you done coaxing her?"
It turns out that this guy saw everything. I don't know how long he waited outside. It turns out that the child was not crying because of his family, but was scared by this murderous devil! Qin Shuxue couldn't help but said, "It turns out that the child kept crying because you were standing outside. Do you know how long I tried to comfort him?"
Heng Li laughed: "How much older are you than them? Besides, I didn't look at them, I just looked at you."
Qin Shuxue was not afraid of him seeing her. Of course she slept in her pajamas, revealing nothing. She rolled her eyes at him and said, "Be careful or my uncle will beat you up. If you have something to say, say it quickly. You have scars on your face and you'll scare the children standing outside." The last sentence almost made her cry, so Qin Shuxue quickly gritted her teeth and shut up.
"Your uncle?" Heng Li saw that she hadn't reacted yet, so he crossed his arms and asked, "Why didn't I know when Xie Mingce had a niece?"
Qin Shuxue reacted this time: "You know Xie Mingce? Then you also know...it was Sect Leader Ju who asked you to come?"
Heng Li shook his head. He didn't know how to talk about these sects. He hadn't told Xie Mingce yet. If Xie Mingce knew that Ju Jifeng was no longer the head of the sect, he would probably be very sad, especially after knowing the reason. He just asked, "What's your name now?"
"Thank... Thank you Yunqiong." Since Hengli had seen through her identity a long time ago, Qin Shuxue could no longer pretend. She threw herself into Hengli's arms and cried, "Hengli... why have you become like this? What happened in the sect competition? Do you know that when I woke up, I didn't see anyone. I was hiding here and there. I was so scared. I was so scared that someone would attack us. I was so scared that I didn't pretend well enough and it would implicate Chongyun Sect. I don't know what to do..."
Heng Li patted Qin Shuxue's back again and again, and slowly said to her: "The situation was too complicated at that time, and I couldn't do anything. Ju Jifeng used magic to make you fake your death. The outside world only thought that you were attacked by the formation, so Chongyun Sect escaped. If we really killed you, we would definitely not want to, and you never woke up afterwards. Time waits for no one. Xie Mingce is absolutely trustworthy in sending you here. He should have told you a lot of things. In any case, it's good to be alive. We have found a poison in Liuli Palace that can corrode flesh, blood and bones. If you find a similar situation, be careful. There is no antidote for this thing. It is very strong and you will die if you touch it. If you encounter it, run first."
Qin Shuxue nodded randomly and hugged Heng Li's back tightly. She had lost her parents since she came here. Heng Li was like a parent to her. As long as he was there, she would not be so lost. She didn't understand it before, but after being away from Heng Li for so long, she realized that she needed him so much. Whether he scolded her or said something else, as long as he was there, she seemed to still be connected to this world.
She sniffed, and regardless of what Heng Li said, she asked persistently, "You haven't answered me yet. How did you become like this?"
Heng Li was too embarrassed to speak when he saw Qin Shuxue was so worried, but Qin Shuxue straightened his face and looked into his eyes for an answer.
Heng Li had wounds on his face, which were bumpy and not very nice to look at, but he didn't care much about his face so he didn't cover it up. However, the two of them were so close at the moment, and although it was dark and he couldn't see clearly, he was still worried that Qin Shuxue would be scared, so he smiled bitterly and said, "It was burned by fire. It's nothing serious..."
It's not a big deal. It's burned like this, so you must have suffered a lot. The fire must have been very big at that time. Qin Shuxue was just like a spoiled little girl. She stomped her feet hard a few times, grabbed Heng Li and said, "Who did it? Tell me, who hurt you so badly?"
Heng Li didn't mind her knowing: "Yan Liuli and Yan Xinhe, but you don't have to care about them, we will always take action against them."
