Chapter 44 The girl in the cave
"What a big problem, how to deal with you..."
Ye Ping frowned.
If he were to just find a place to throw this little girl away, he would definitely not be able to do it. If he were to find someone to adopt her, in such an apocalyptic world, I'm afraid that she might just be given to someone else and might be resold again, and some
How many families can afford to raise more children?
"Brother... I'm hungry, don't sell me. I can cook, wash clothes, and sweep the floor. Give me something to eat. Please..."
At this moment, the dirty little girl seemed to be aware of Ye Ping's thoughts, raised her head and begged.
"Who said I'm going to sell you..."
Ye Ping couldn't help but feel sad when he saw this kind of look. He smiled bitterly and shook his head. He took out another five taels of silver from Nie Wu's purse and threw it to Zhang Zhu. Then he hugged the little girl and walked outside.
After leaving the blacksmith shop, Ye Ping randomly found a steamed bun shop, bought a few steaming steamed buns, and handed them to the poor little girl.
The little girl grabbed the bun, regardless of how hot it was, just like a hungry little wolf, grabbed the bun and gnawed it hard, and while devouring it, she glanced around and made bursts of wild beast-like noises from her mouth.
A low whine like food.
"These buns are all yours, no one will steal them..."
Ye Ping didn't know that the little girl was probably used to eating and was worried that someone would snatch her buns. He became more and more sad and said warmly.
"The buns are very fragrant, thank you big brother..."
The little girl said something vaguely and ate the buns vigorously, but her big eyes were still looking everywhere.
When Ye Ping saw this, he said nothing and just stood aside quietly, waiting for her to finish the buns.
Not only that, Ye Ping also saw that the little girl's arms were covered with dense blood-red whip marks, and she must have been beaten.
"If you don't obey me, you will be beaten... Big brother, I am obedient and if you don't beat me..."
When the little girl saw Ye Ping's eyes, she raised her head and looked at Ye Ping timidly. Her big, pure eyes and pitiful look made people's hearts tremble just by looking at them.
"good."
Ye Ping nodded, waited for the little girl to finish eating the buns, held her hand, and returned to Ye's Clinic.
"Do you still remember your name? And where your home is? Is there anyone else at home?"
Although the stall owner had said before that the origin of the little girl was unknown, Ye Ping still asked.
"I don't remember. I just remember that I walked a long way, and then I met that uncle who took me down there."
The little girl shook her head.
"Do you want your brother to help you heal the place where you were injured by the whip?"
Ye Ping was not surprised by this answer, nodded with a smile, and then said.
It is indeed difficult to force a little girl of this age to tell her origins and family. It might be better to help her heal and read her memory, maybe she can gain something.
"Won't you hit me?"
The little girl shrank and said timidly.
"Do not hit."
Ye Ping nodded warmly and said.
"Well, I want big brother to help me treat it."
When the little girl heard this, the timidity on her face disappeared and she smiled. To Ye Ping's expectation, although her face was full of stains, her smile gave people a bright feeling.
Ye Ping chuckled and nodded, took out the ointment and applied it to the little girl.
"Crash..."
At the same time, the Green Pouch Book appeared in Ye Ping's mind. After flipping through several pages, it stopped at the ground chapter, and then the figure of a little girl slowly emerged.
Place word chapter?
how so?!
When Ye Ping saw this scene, he immediately gasped and his expression changed drastically.
When he was treating Cao Tieshan, Er Xiong and Shen Yueling before, all the characters that appeared on the top of the portrait in the Qingnang Book were the Human Character Chapter and the Earth Character Chapter. This was the first time that they appeared!
Could it be that this means that the little girl in front of me came from the cave?!
However, if this is true, how could the creatures in the cave fall into the hands of Ren Yazi from Lin'an Ghost Market?!
Ye Ping was confused, but he also understood that as long as he treated the little girl, his doubts would be answered, so he applied the ointment evenly on the girl's arm.
"Well... big brother didn't lie. It's cool, very comfortable, and doesn't hurt..."
The coolness of the ointment made the little girl's big eyes turn into crescents, and her laughter was like silver bells.
She is very simple and easily contented. As long as she can have buns to eat and not feel any pain, she will be happy.
Along with her laughter, Ye Ping's eyes blurred and memories emerged.
In the middle of nowhere, a little girl appeared. Under her feet were crystal clear jade-like fragments. It looked like fragments to Ye Ping, just like the fragments of birds hatched and then shattered.
eggshell.
At this time, the little girl looked around, sat on the ground and cried for a while, then wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, picked up the eggshells on the ground, stuffed them into her mouth one by one, and ate them all.
Finally, I started walking barefoot in the wilderness.
There were no traces of human beings in the wilderness, with overgrown grass, heavy fog, and rugged rocks. Before walking very far, the little girl's feet were already worn out, and bright red blood came out, making her wipe her tears again.
But there was no movement at all. The little girl was very smart. She tied straw sandals with straw, put them on her feet and walked forward.
After trekking all the way, she passed through the wilderness, walked out of the fog, and then appeared in a village.
The sudden appearance of the little girl attracted the attention of the villagers. An old man took her home, found clothes for her to put on, gave her a meal, and let her sleep on the bed at home.
When she woke up, she saw the stall owner staring at her with a smile, then began to bargain with the old man, and finally threw a piece of silver to the old man, and picked her up from the bed.
The little girl had no idea what the kind old man had done in her eyes. She struggled to call him to come back to him, but the old man turned his head and didn't look at him at all. He just held the piece of silver tightly.
She struggled fiercely, and the stall owner took out his whip and hit her hard, causing her skin to be torn and her eyes to burst into tears.
After that, she was locked up with a group of children and beaten if they disobeyed. When eating, someone threw a bowl of rice on the ground and made them fight like a group of hungry beasts. Then she stood aside with her hands folded in front of her chest.
, laughed.
At the beginning, the little girl did not dare to fight with others and had to go hungry. Later, she could only fight like a wild beast. After grabbing the food, she stuffed it into her mouth and looked around, fearing that someone would steal it from her.
Take it away in your mouth.
Such tragic memories made Ye Ping's heart throb, making his heart heavy and feeling extremely depressed.
In the end, the memory stopped at the moment when Ye Ping bought her and brought her back to Ye's for consultation.
"She is a cave creature, a child hatched from an egg... However, her irrationality is not limited to this. That village should be a village on the outskirts of Lin'an, and where is that wasteland? Why did she walk out of the wasteland?
Just appeared on the outskirts of Lin'an? And why did she come to Lin'an, a land of human races, and fall into the hands of the ghost city's Yazi?"
After reading the memory, Ye Ping completely confirmed the identity of the little girl who came from the cave. Apart from being stunned, countless questions arose in his mind. He felt that the little girl was shrouded in a thick layer of fog, making it difficult for people to see her roots.
foot.
At this moment, the rewards were distributed, and in Ye Ping's hand, a crystal clear fragment with flowing five-color brilliance looked like it was not a mortal fragment.
"This is the eggshell fragment from which she was born..."
Ye Ping moved his face, held it in his palm, and observed carefully, but he couldn't see the reason at all.
There is no doubt that this eggshell is absolutely extraordinary.
"This small stone tablet is edible. It's sweet and fragrant. I've eaten it. After eating it, I won't be hungry for a long time..."
At this time, the little girl also saw the eggshell fragments in Ye Ping's hand and said in surprise.
Ye Ping recalled that what the little girl said was true. She had been trekking in the wilderness for at least more than a month, but she had never eaten or drank water. It was probably the eggshell that provided her with vitality.
At the same time, the Green Bag Book in Ye Ping's mind flipped again. After several pages, it stopped at the Tiancai chapter, and then, a paragraph of text appeared:
Chapter completed!
