Chapter 2267: Discovery (unedited) _3 Chapter 2267: Discovery (unedited) _3 No matter how close he was to the fire, he still felt his hands and feet turn cold.
Li Gen sat uncomfortably on Li Quan's left side. He and Li Quan were cousins, so he always followed Li Quan's lead. He would usually say things that were inconvenient for Li Quan to say, and was very loyal to Li Quan.
When they entered the village today, he had followed behind Li Tong and even turned the female corpse around with a carrying pole.
He didn't think much of it at that time, but after the female corpse suddenly turned demonic and killed Liu Zi, he felt a wave of fear.
For some reason, he felt a little uneasy.
Perhaps it was because old Liu and the others had not returned for a long time, but he felt like there were many eyes staring at him from behind.
He resisted the desire to turn back and look. He twisted his body and leaned against the fire.
However, as he moved, something behind him moved, like an extremely soft tentacle, and touched him up his spine.
The firewood had been set up, and the iron pot had been placed on it.
As soon as the water source arrived, they poured it into the pot. Corn, wild vegetables, and other things were poured in. Everyone's faces were filled with anticipation.
Although it wasn't winter yet, the temperature in the mountains was already low, and it became even colder at night.
It could be seen that everyone's life was very difficult. Their clothes were thin, and when the mountain wind blew, they all trembled.
Just as uncle Shan was about to invite song qingxiao, someone by the fire shouted, ”
“Uncle Shan, why don't you come here and warm yourself up by the fire?”
Uncle Shan responded, still holding his hand out.
“Child, come.”
Song qingxiao turned her head to look at the bonfire in the distance. Everyone was looking at her. Some of them were dissatisfied, but they did not say anything.
Uncle Shan waited for her reply with a friendly smile. His palms were covered in calluses, and the calluses were the marks of time and bitterness, mixed with some mud.
He seemed to have forgotten about his obsession and the torture of life. He was satisfied with the coming meal time.
The joy in his eyes made song qingxiao smile.
“Yes.”
She put her hand on it. Uncle Shan chuckled and pulled her up.
Since he couldn't solve the problem of being possessed, sealed, and the heavenly Dao temple for the time being, he didn't think about it for now. There would always be a way to solve it.
When the two of them came over, everyone's expression froze for a moment.
The flame licked the bottom of the pot and made a 'boom' sound. The water surface bubbled.
The pot wasn't very big. There was a lot of water in the pot, but only a little corn.
But even so, the stomachs of the people around the pot were growling with hunger as they kept looking into the pot.
“Brother Quan, what happened to the six today? Who is she, and why is she with us?”
In the team today, the man who had been very angry after hearing about Liu Zi's death finally couldn't hold it in anymore.
When he saw that uncle Shan had brought song qingxiao over, he stood up with a whoosh and pointed at her with his index finger. He was the first to launch an attack.
No one said anything, waiting for Li Quan to make a statement.
Traveling merchants earned hard-earned money. There was a fixed amount of food every day. Everyone was already not full. Now that there was suddenly one more person, everyone was naturally very dissatisfied.
Uncle Shan looked at song Qing and whispered, ”
“He is Zhao Qi, Liu Zi's cousin.”
He reached his hand closer to the fire and rubbed his hands.
“Although he's sad, he's not an unreasonable person. As long as he understands the cause and effect, he won't blame you.”
Song qingxiao didn't mind and nodded.
After we entered the village today …
Li Quan was prepared for this. He knew that he would be interrogated by the crowd, so he nodded and explained the whole situation.
Song qingxiao pretended to warm herself up by the fire, but in fact, she remembered Li Quan's words.
What he said was no different from what uncle Shan had said. The only slight difference was that this group of people had split up and uncle Shan had discovered him at the first moment.
when we heard uncle Shan say that there were living people, we rushed over and found the possessed female corpse and this little girl.
Li Quan was a decent man, or he wouldn't have been in charge of the caravan for such a long time and won everyone's admiration.
“No one would have thought that a corpse that died from demonic possession would be resurrected. If it wasn't for this little girl's reminder, I'm afraid that we would have died there today.”
When the people who had followed him into the village heard this, they couldn't help but feel a wave of fear and nodded.
“He was unlucky to have killed Liu Zi. It has nothing to do with this girl.”
Li Quan said indifferently,
“Once we enter the village, even if we don't bring her out, we'll still encounter that possessed corpse.”
Now that he thought about it, it was fortunate that song qingxiao reacted quickly and was bold enough to hold the body with a carrying pole at the critical moment. She also reminded everyone to subdue the body temporarily.
However, song qingxiao looked young and weak, but he was unexpectedly strong.
