Chapter 382 Qinniang_1

Chapter 382: Chapter 382 Qinniang_1

This angry shout, powered by inner strength, traveled far and wide, especially in the valley, where it resonated and echoed immediately.

The five little boys, seeing you running over furiously, quickly screamed and ran towards the adults not far away.

Meanwhile, the crowd that had been surrounding Wu Qiyi and Xi Yu also turned around, each with a look of surprise on their faces.

Under the gaze of Wu Qiyi and others, you hurried to the girl’s side, crouched down next to her, and reached out to pick her up.

"Stop!"

Yet another sharp shout rang out, but it didn’t come from you, it came from the robust boy who had locked eyes with you earlier.

"You can’t touch her!" he stepped in front of you, looking at you seriously, "She and her mother are the root of all disasters; no one is allowed to touch them."

Idiot!

That was your first impression of the boy.

"Who let this bastard child come over here? Get the willow branches and chase her off!"

It was only then that the little girl shakily stood up, her body shrinking back.

Upon getting closer, you realized that the little girl only had a single piece of cloth on her body, which wasn’t a piece of clothing but merely a patched-up bedsheet!

At this time, the temperature in the mountain region was barely two or three degrees Celsius, and such a frail girl didn’t even have decent clothing to wrap herself in!

Without a word, you immediately took off your own coat.

Although your constitution made you impervious to the cold, the jacket you wore was just an ordinary one for autumn, but it would still be better than nothing for the little girl.

"No way!"

The robust boy slapped away the jacket you were about to drape over the little girl, turning his head to see the jacket fall to the ground. You slowly raised your head as the Sen Luo Curse Mark flashed into view!

You were angry!

"Get lost!"

With a fierce shout, a burst of Qi Force erupted, the powerful force concentrated at one point and violently struck the robust boy in the abdomen, causing his body to jolt!

"Huh?"

A hint of confusion flickered in your enraged eyes, followed by the robust boy screaming miserably as he was sent flying.

"Brother!" A little girl with pigtails ran out, opening her arms to protect her brother, "Don’t bully my brother, you bad person!"

With a slight tease at the corner of your mouth, you sneered coldly, too lazy to deal with these people, and snapped your fingers in the air.

A sudden gust of wind stirred up from under the jacket, whisking it back into your hands, and then you draped it over the little girl.

"This isn’t right, it can’t be like this!" An old man, white of hair and beard, came over leaning on a cane, pounding the ground forcefully with it, "Young man from outside, this wild child in front of you is a star of disaster! Everyone who has contact with her will meet a bad end!"

At that moment, you actually smiled, gently stroking the little girl’s hair which appeared dry and without the slightest shine, just like her sallow complexion.

You looked down at the little girl and asked softly, "Little sister, what’s your name?"

The little girl glanced at you timidly, her head lowered, and in a voice as faint as a mosquito’s, she said, "I-I-I’m Qinniang."

"Qinniang?" Upon hearing the name, you couldn’t help but smile, "Did your mother give you that name? Qinniang is another name for the morning glory."

"Mhm." Upon realizing that you knew the origin of her name, Qinniang gradually relaxed a little, daring to look up and meet your eyes.

Just as you were about to continue talking with her, Xi Yu approached and said, "Mr. Li, Qinniang and her mother are very unique in this village. As the village chief said just now, she truly is the root of disaster, so I think you might want to..."

"Stay away from her, is that it?"

Cold!

Chillingly cold!

Your voice is even colder than the cold wind blowing outside!

You didn’t lift your head, but as soon as these words came out, Xi Yu immediately felt the distance between you and her grow from a mere one or two meters to hundreds of meters, even thousands of miles!

Then, you slowly raised your head and looked at Wu Qiyi, "Do you also know about her situation?"

Wu Qiyi nodded.

"What do you say?"

"Qinniang’s situation, Xi Yu and I have known about it before. Her mother, like her, was born with an Accursed Body. Ordinary people would bring disasters upon themselves just by having contact with her."

"And then?"

Wu Qiyi let out a soft sigh, "Before we can be sure, I suggest you should still keep your distance from her."

"Accursed Body, huh?" You bowed your head and gently stroked Qinniang’s head with a faint smile, "Our situations seem quite similar."

Upon hearing this, Wu Qiyi’s figure shuddered! Because she too was cursed!

As you said this, you took Qinniang’s small hand. Touching her small hand, your body couldn’t help but tremble, as if even your own heart was quivering.

You had never known that a person’s hands could be so rough!

The skin on the back of her hand was rough with many cracks peeling upwards; some even had scabs, feeling hard and prickly to the touch. Her palms were also covered in many calluses, and just from these heavily scarred hands, one could read her tragic past!

"Qinniang, where do you live?"

For some reason, Qinniang no longer felt the initial fear of you. She reached out her hand and pointed towards a place far behind you.

You turned your head and looked in the direction Qinniang was pointing.

The Sen Luo Curse Mark suddenly began to spin rapidly—All Forms of Sen Luo, flew!

Your gaze flew swiftly, and across a distance of about a thousand meters, in a small dip between hills, you saw a ramshackle straw hut. At this moment, a woman dressed as raggedly as she was sitting on some dry straw, weaving grass shoes from the straw.

Her features too were yellow and emaciated!

She coughed from time to time, and with each cough, she would spit out a mouthful of dark red blood!

Seeing this, you involuntarily closed your eyes.

When you opened your eyes again, a hint of a smile spread across your face, and you said to Qinniang, "Come on, take Brother to your home to have a look."

"Mhm," Qinniang nodded slightly.

With that, you reached out and picked Qinniang up, turned around, and walked towards the dilapidated straw hut.

"Wait a moment!" Xi Yu hurriedly called out to you.

You didn’t turn around, your back facing her.

"Master Li, I know you mean well, but their situation is really special. Before, we sent someone to help them, but that person died within seven days after returning. His bones and all his flesh rotted away until he turned into a puddle of pus."

You laughed, "See death without saving? I can’t do that."

After taking a couple of steps, you suddenly heard footsteps from behind.

Wu Qiyi suddenly walked up to you briskly. In front of everyone, she removed the clothes from Qinniang’s body, then quickly took off her own cotton coat and wrapped Qinniang’s tiny body in it completely.

After that, Wu Qiyi put on your jacket, looked at you with bright, twinkling eyes, and said with a smile, "I’ll be keeping this jacket then."
