The night quietly slipped away from Nangong Zhe and company's dreams. When Little Linger opened her eyes, she discovered that her Brother Nangong was already packing their luggage. Sister Mashiro had already prepared breakfast and seemed to be waiting for her. Coming to visit her grandfather's grave was Little Linger's own request. Although Nangong Zhe and Mashiro were indebted to Ah Weng, the reason why they were able to sleep in such a remote place was because of her own request.
Even if it was just this, it would not allow him to shrink back. I … must face these things that I should face in the first place.
"Are you awake? Come on … it's time for breakfast. "
Sensing that Little Linger had woken up, Mashiro revealed a motherly smile. She waved towards Little Linger and called Little Linger over for breakfast.
Little Linger stood up and tidied up her sleeping bag. She sat beside Mashiro and began to enjoy some mushrooms and wild herbs that seemed to be found in the surrounding forest. Although the taste wasn't that pleasant, the smell of the mountain assaulted her senses.
While eating, Little Linger looked at Nangong Zhe's busy figure and asked Mashiro:
"Why is Brother Nangong still working? Did he eat breakfast?"
Hearing Little Linger's question, Mashiro's face carried a trace of anger. She glanced at Nangong Zhe and said to Little Linger:
"You don't know … this morning before you woke up, your Brother Nangong's gluttonous illness acted up. He directly shook me awake and insisted on having some mountain delicacies. Once this guy started to be gluttonous, there was no limit. He actually acted cute and pestered me. I really couldn't win against him, so I could only find some mushrooms and wild herbs to make breakfast. Perhaps to make up for his loss of composure this morning, he is currently packing our luggage … "
Although Zhen Bai's tone was full of complaints, Ling Er didn't feel that Zhen Bai was truly angry. Instead, she quietly moved her little mouth close to Zhen Bai's ear and used a voice that only the two of them could hear to whisper to Zhen Bai:
"Sister Mashiro, you are so stubborn … this morning when Brother Nangong woke you up, pestered you, and annoyed you, you might have been happy …"
After being exposed by Little Linger, who was younger than her by many years, even Mashiro couldn't react in time. Her face turned pink. She lightly patted Little Linger's head and softly reprimanded Little Linger:
"What nonsense are you saying … if you continue like this, then go and accompany your Brother Nangong to pack our luggage! The two of you can wait for the food to get cold before you eat it … "
Hearing Mashiro's disguised 'threat', Little Linger quickly shut her mouth. Her cheeks puffed up and she was like a little hamster as she quickly devoured her food. Although Nangong Zhe was also very envious of Mashiro and Little Linger being able to enjoy their food, he still happily watched Mashiro and Little Linger eating together. Although their age difference wasn't big, Little Linger and Mashiro's relationship was as warm as that of a mother and daughter.
…
Breakfast passed in such a noisy and noisy manner. Nangong Zhe had just finished packing and received Mashiro's warm wild vegetable and mushroom porridge. At this point, there were almost no common roads. Most of the roads were man-made livestock or small paths that the residents walked on.
After walking for half a day in the forest that was filled with shrubs and trees, Nan Gongzhe and the other two were still surrounded by green trees. They couldn't tell where they were at all. However, Ling 'er, who had lived here since she was a child, clearly knew that she was about to reach her destination … Her originally heavy footsteps had unknowingly become light and graceful. Her footsteps were like a joyful jump. Little Linger directly overtook Nangong Zhe who was leading the way and walked forward.
However, Nangong Zhe frowned slightly because Nangong Zhe could vaguely feel the excessive moisture in the soil and air. There were also some remnants of Chakra. After careful observation, Nangong Zhe discovered that this Chakra was different from normal Chakra. It was filled with a primitive and violent aura. If he had to find an analogy, Nangong Zhe felt that only Ichibi and Nine Tails' Chakra aura was similar to this aura.
Was it a tailed beast? Nangong Zhe sensed something and quickly increased his speed. He pulled Mashiro and dashed towards the direction Little Linger was heading. Although Mashiro did not know why Nangong Zhe was suddenly so anxious, he still followed Nangong Zhe's pull and dashed towards Little Linger's direction.
Soon, Nangong Zhe and Mashiro left the dense forest. Bright sunlight and a wide space appeared in front of them. However, Little Linger was standing on top of a mound without saying a word. Even if she sensed Nangong Zhe and Mashiro's arrival, she did not react at all. Because of the mound, Nangong Zhe did not know what was in front of him. Thus, he let go of Mashiro's hand and walked forward to stand on top of the mound where Little Linger was.
Looking around, the originally peaceful little village was no longer the same as Nangong Zhe remembered. One by one, the wooden houses had already collapsed, and there were still huge holes in them. Although it seemed that a certain amount of rescue had been carried out, some of the puddles were still a little red with blood.
Looking at Little Linger beside him, Little Linger's face was so dull, but drops of tears kept overflowing from Little Linger's eyes. Nangong Zhe looked at Little Linger, his heart was also very sad. He stretched out his hand and hugged Little Linger in his arms, slowly stroking Little Linger's back with his hand.
"No … It's gone, everything is gone. Why? Obviously, this place is so remote that it's meaningless to any country or village, but it's still invaded? Why? Why?! Why!!! "
In Nangong Zhe's embrace, the grief that Ling 'er had been suppressing all this while was completely unleashed. The mournful screams were like a sharp knife piercing Nangong Zhe's heart. When did Little Linger become like this? No matter who it is, he must make them pay with blood! Nangong Zhe quietly made such a vow in his heart.
