Chapter 71: The blooming of the flower of sorrow
After I finished, I felt much better. Ruoyue thoughtfully handed me a tissue, which I used to wipe my mouth.
India, this ancient and magical country with a touch of religious romance, I had not yet had time to experience its charm, and I was already confused by the chaos at the train station. For a moment, looking at the crowds coming and going, I actually had a feeling of not knowing where to go and being confused.
“Chengyi, aren’t you going to leave the station? At least we should go out and find a place to rest first,” Xiao Chengqian said impatiently, looking at me with a blank expression and gently covering his nose with a handkerchief.
At this moment, the large group of people who had just left us were getting closer and closer. I was inexplicably uneasy, and while I was agreeing with Xiao Chengqian, I subconsciously glanced at the group of people.
It should be a group of locals who were busy boarding the train, right? Most of them were carrying luggage, and there were also some ragged children mixed in, grabbing the luggage in the hands of the group of people. Some were thrown two coins to get rid of them, while others were pushed away impatiently, fell to the ground, and then stood up with a smile on their faces, continuing to chase after them and scramble for the luggage.
Although I don’t know much about India, I roughly know that these children probably make a living by begging at train stations, just like the little flower vendors that were everywhere in China at that time.
But no matter what, no matter how these people look, they are all normal people. So where does my unease come from? You have to know that after going through so much, I have become convinced of my spiritual awareness.
Where does this kind of uneasy feeling come from?
Could it be that I wasn’t careful enough? Thinking this way, I closed my eyes and felt again. The people were clearly ordinary people, and none of them had the unique aura of a cultivator. Could it be that the danger did not come from this group of people?
I frowned slightly and subconsciously began to look around. Chengxin, who was walking in front of me, began to urge me, “Chengyi, do you want to spend the night at this train station?”
I didn’t find anything, so I just let out a “huh,” quickly catching up with Chengxin and the others, and just passing by the group of people. My heart was beating violently again! I turned around sharply, and the group of people were already walking quickly towards the entrance.
At this time, a hand gently patted my shoulder. In this state of suspicion, I was inevitably scared and almost subconsciously yelled out, “Who?” I looked back and saw Ruoyue, who was innocent and looked at me with a surprised expression.
“Third brother, what are you so upset about?” Ru Yue looked at me and asked. In the middle of the question, Ru Yue couldn’t help but make a scared look, sticking out her tongue, which made me a little dazed, as if I had returned many years ago and seen the little, quirky Ru Yue.
These memories warmed my heart, and I couldn’t help smiling. I patted her back and said, “It’s nothing. I just feel a little uneasy, so I’m a little nervous. Let’s go.”
In response to my answer, Ru Yue became serious and asked me in a serious tone, “Really? Third brother, are you sure about this feeling?”
Ruyue knew me well and naturally knew the special nature of my spiritual senses. When I said I felt uneasy, she would definitely take it very seriously.
I didn’t know how to answer Ru Yue. After all, in a foreign land, and fleeing for our lives, it was enough to make people feel insecure. Plus, Ru Yue was a girl, and in this situation… At this moment, the uneasiness in my heart had disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented sense of great sadness. The sadness made me want to cry.
Ruyue was still waiting for my answer. Our pace did not stop. Faced with my sudden silence, Ruyue could not help but urge me, “Third brother, why don’t you say something?”
I suddenly came to my senses, forced myself to calm down the feeling of sadness in my heart, and decided not to hide it from Ruoyue: “I’m not sure if this feeling of unease is a warning from my spiritual senses, because it has now disappeared.”
“How did it start?” Yueyue subconsciously grabbed my sleeve, a little nervous and unwilling to easily ignore this matter. This is not surprising, after all, in a foreign land, anyone will be more sensitive.
“It was just that, seeing that large group of people just now. I started to feel uneasy for no reason.” Sensing her mood, I tried to act casual and pointed behind me, looking at the large group of people who were just walking towards the entrance.
At this time, the large group of people had already dispersed, because those who took the train had already entered the station, and the children had also dispersed, becoming a dozen small groups, and several of the small groups were running quickly towards us…
This is not a strange situation. After all, the direction we are heading is the exit, and the children should be looking for some “business” at the exit.
So, I just glanced at them and turned back, but I still paid attention. It was indeed just a group of ordinary poor children. At this time, I was still calculating in my heart whether I should give them some unimportant luggage to hold when they came over, so that they could earn some meager income.
Instead, after I said that, Yueyue kept looking back, watching the movements of the children who had scattered.
“Third brother, it should be fine.” After turning her head again, Ruyue said to me in a slightly relaxed tone.
“Why do you think so?” I had actually sensed it long ago, but thinking of the tongue-wagging Ruyue just now reminded me of my childhood and I couldn’t help but tease her.
“Because,” said Ru Yue, wrinkling her nose playfully, and then smiling, “the most sensitive bug I hid didn’t find anyone with an abnormal cultivator aura. It was very quiet.”
“Haha.” I couldn’t help but laugh, and as if to prove something, Yue turned her head again.
At this moment, a group of children were passing us by, and Ruyue’s voice came from slightly behind me: “Once again, it proves that there is no…”
But before she could finish, I suddenly felt her turn around and then slam me with her elbow!
What happened? At that moment, I just wanted to turn around, but unexpectedly, ‘boom,’ at that moment, the huge sadness in my heart suddenly exploded, making my whole body inexplicably stiff for half a second. I shouted out to Yueyue in a trembling voice, and was about to turn around…
But I felt a body hit my back, with an inexplicable trembling and twitching feeling.
I turned around sharply and saw that it was Ruyue who had hit my back. Why was she trembling and twitching? The next second, my gaze moved down and I saw that a child less than 1.3 meters tall, wearing ragged clothes, was quickly stabbing Ruyue with a knife!
I saw a large area of blood staining the pale blue shirt on Ru Yue’s body, like a field of flowers of hell with cruel smiles!
“No!” I roared, suddenly hugging Ruyue and reaching out to grab the little boy’s hand holding the knife, but the little boy’s movements were unusually fast. I didn’t pull his hand, but instead was cut by the sharp knife in his hand.
I couldn’t feel the pain in my hand, but I could feel the immense pain in my heart, which was about to make me gasp for breath. So I followed the blade and tried to grab the child’s wrist, so that he wouldn’t stab Ru Yue again. Don’t… she’ll die!
My breathing was heavy. I had never been so intent on grabbing someone. I really did grab that wrist.
But from my hand came an unusually slippery feeling. The wrist bent at a strange angle and escaped from my palm. At that moment, I saw the child look up. What I saw was not a childlike face. Instead, I saw a pair of cruel eyes with no movement, as cold as a wolf’s!
He broke free of me and ran away, disappearing into the crowd in no time!
My hand was mixed with blood, leaving an inexplicable blackness. From when Ru Yue was stabbed to now, it had all happened within 10 seconds. At this time, I shouted out a loud “no,” but no one reacted, paying any attention to us.
“Third brother…” In my arms, Yueyue opened her mouth, with a smile I couldn’t describe, and called out to me.
“No, don’t talk, calm down.” My voice trembled, and I instinctively went to cover the wounds of Yueyue, but there were several wounds. I covered this one, but why was the other still bleeding?
“Third brother… it turns out that the feeling of bleeding is… is to flow out together with the temperature… to flow out of the body.” Ru Yue’s smile grew weaker.
At that moment, I felt like I was going crazy. I held Ru Yue tightly in one arm and covered her wounds with the other. Finally, I couldn’t help but kneel down in the busy train station and yelled like a madman, “Help, damn it, help! Can anyone tell me where the hospital is? Help!”
