But fortunately, the matter of treating the little girl suppressed the unspeakable pain in his heart. Ying Bu clenched and loosened his hands, and after hesitating for a long time, he slowly opened his mouth: "At that time, I was still a child. After my adoptive parents died one after another, I listened to my adoptive father's words and left my hometown.
But I was chased by an inexplicable force. After I barely escaped, I was seriously injured and fell to the ground. It was an extremely cold winter.
When I fainted, I thought I was going to die this time.
But — "
Ying Bu said until here, his eyes softened a lot as he looked at the little girl in Li's arms.
"It was she who saved me."
Ying Bu looked at Li's surprised eyes, firmly nodded his head, and continued to say: "Yes, she saved me.
At that time, she looked the same as now. At that time, I was only seven or eight years old. I thought I had gone to heaven and saw an angel.
But later, she just indifferently saved me, and didn't say a word to me. "
"How do you know she saved you?" Li thought there were a lot of doubtful points.
"According to your statement, she was just a child at that time, how could she save you in the cold winter."
"It's her!
Because when I woke up, she had taken me back to the place where she lived, a thatched hut. That thatched hut was in the middle of nowhere, and I couldn't think of a second person who would appear there.
As for why she has this ability, you can see her appearance for decades, so you won't feel strange about this ability. "
Li nodded his head. Although strange, it was not difficult to understand. At that time, Ying Bu must have been poor and helpless. Suddenly, such a little angel appeared to save him, so he must be grateful.
But, could this gratitude really last for more than 20 years and not dissipate?
Li Li voiced his doubts.
Since this matter had already started, it wasn't that difficult to continue. Hence, Ying Bu said without hesitation, "Back then, after she saved me, she showed symptoms of a cold. I brought her to see a doctor, but it got worse and worse.
If it wasn't for saving me, she covered me with the only quilt in that thatched hut, perhaps she would not have contracted such a disease.
In this life, I can't find the person who secretly harmed me, and take revenge for the death of my adoptive parents, but I will cure her disease. "
Li's eyes flashed, secretly thought, perhaps this girl's illness was not because of the quilt.
But on second thought, perhaps Ying Bu had already discovered this after so many years of treatment. But to this extremely responsible man, since he didn't know how to repay the little lass who saved him with such an illness, he would definitely shoulder the responsibility.
Therefore, no matter what the cause of this illness was, he would take responsibility for it.
Li Xin sighed softly but did not interrupt him in the end.
"So, Young Hero Li, please heal her no matter what."
Ying Bu was incomparably sincere. Li glanced at the little girl in his arms who didn't even look at Ying Bu, and said with difficulty: "But, I always feel that she doesn't like you very much."
Ying Bu's eyes flashed.
"That's because she doesn't like to see me kill. But you know, as a wanderer, it's impossible to live without being stained with blood.
Originally, after she saved me, she would occasionally say a few words to me, but now, she rarely spoke.
So, I'm very grateful that you can let her speak. "
Hearing this, Li was silent for a long time. After a long while, he looked at Ying Bu and solemnly said: "Your character is really admirable.
No matter what, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will do my best to help you heal her. "
This was a formal promise from Li. Ying Bu's eyes lit up, then he suddenly cupped his hands and bowed.
"Thank you, Young Hero Li, I will repay your great kindness in the future."
Li waved his hand and looked at the little girl with a gloomy gaze that had never been seen before.
Based on what Ying Bu said just now, plus his previous conjecture.
He came to a bold conclusion, perhaps, the beautiful little girl in his arms was indeed not a human.
This was not a scolding, but a serious conclusion.
Because, even if this world was full of fantasy colors, and the skills of a hundred schools of thought were strange, he was sure that this world did not have an elixir of immortality. Otherwise, the framework that supported the operation of this world would collapse, and Ying Zheng's pursuit would become a joke.
However, if there was no elixir of immortality, then what made the little girl in his arms look the same as before for decades?
Then there was only one conclusion, that was, this little girl was not a human at all.
But, if she was not a human, then what was she?
There was also this inexplicable period of weakness. If she was an immortal or a ghost, there should not be such a period of weakness.
There was also Tian Mi, why would it be better to go to Tian Mi's place?
Li suddenly remembered Tian Mi's concern about that place, and a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind. Li opened his mouth and described to Ying Bu the place where he found Jin Ling.
"When did that place become a forbidden area?"
Ying Bu was somewhat surprised that Li suddenly mentioned that place, but still honestly answered, and did not ask anything.
"It seems to be shortly after we entered the town."
"Is that place not allowed for you to enter?"
"Yes, but this is also normal. That place is a forbidden area. Usually, except for Tian Mi, no one can enter. Even the guards are Tian Mi's trusted subordinates who have followed her for many years. Even so, they can only stay on the periphery." Ying Bu's tone was calm.
But Li's heartbeat sped up a little. He felt that the truth seemed to be getting closer and closer to him.
The fine clues seemed to have connected into a faintly discernible silk thread in his mind, and the final fusion was perfect.
"I already have a clue about this matter. Now I need time to integrate it. When I understand it, I will naturally come to you."
Li was asking them to leave. In fact, Li was eager to confirm his own idea, so he somewhat impolitely asked them to leave.
Fortunately, Ying Bu was not a talkative person, plus he inexplicably trusted Li, so he quickly left with the little girl.
