Gu Village.
This was a village that had been looted by the bandits.
The entire village was in disarray, and crying sounds were heard everywhere.
As Su Mo arrived, he saw a dozen men carrying corpses. They had dug a large hole in the open space behind the village to bury the corpse.
Su Mo asked them and found out that they were a team of village hunters. They survived because they went out hunting.
“Master, you have saved so many women in Gu Village and killed all the bandits. You have returned us. I can't thank you enough. Accept my bow!”
The leader of the hunting team immediately bowed respectfully to Su Mo after learning that it was Su Mo who had saved the women.
“Do not be careless, Brother. The dead we bury first! Let them rest in peace! “
Su Mo waved his hand at the leader and said.
“OK!”
The hunting captain nodded heavily and said nothing more. He then continued to move the dead villagers.
“Eh?”
Su Mo scanned the surroundings and saw the beautiful girl kneeling in front of the corpse, crying.
The corpse was the white-haired elder Su Mo had seen before.
“So he is the grandson of that elder!”
Su Mo suddenly understood.
Su Mo walked forward and crouched down. He patted the girl on the shoulder and comforted her, “The dead have left. Condolences me!”
The girl continued to sob as if she had not heard Su Mo.
“Honey!”
Su Mo sighed. Parting with death is always the most painful thing.
“Young Master, Xi’er is an orphan. I grew up without parents and was left in the wilderness. It was my grandfather who picked me up and raised me.”
At this time, the young girl opened her mouth and her voice was filled with bitterness, “Grandfather treated me like his own son. He always left the best things for me and never let me suffer. Now grandfather has faced such a disaster. , I feel very guilty.”
“Why am I not a martial artist?”
“If I am a strong martial artist, I will be able to protect our grandfather and village!”
“If I were a strong martial artist, grandfather would not die, and so many villagers would not die!”
“…”
The girl continued to speak, as if she was talking to Su Mo, but also with herself.
His body trembled uncontrollably as he spoke. Large tears flowed down her cheeks.
Su Mo listened quietly and did not say a word.
The law of the jungle, survival of the strongest, this is a weak tragedy!
After a long time, the girl finally stopped crying.
“Young lady, you have to calm down. Your grandfather's spirit in heaven doesn't want to see you like this.”
Su Mo could only comfort him.
“Young Master, I'm sorry for making you laugh!”
The girl wiped the tears off her face and said awkwardly.
“No problem. Let's bury your grandfather first! Let him rest in peace. “
said Su Mo. The two buried the old man in the back of the village.
After burying the old man, Su Mo prepared to leave.
Right now, the residents of Gu Village had buried all the dead and had come to express their gratitude to Su Mo.
Su Mo returned all the valuables he had obtained from the bandits and was about to leave.
“Young Master!”
At this moment, a soft voice sounded. Su Mo turned around and saw that it was a beauty in teal color.
“Xi’er .. I want to follow you. Will you accept me?”
The girl walked towards Su Mo and bit her red lips as if she had made a decision.
Then, he looked at Su Mo with his big eyes, as if he was afraid that Su Mo would reject him.
Su Mo was stunned. He did not know why the girl made such a request.
“Young lady, why do you want to follow me?”
Su Mo did not mind if a beautiful woman was willing to follow him.
However, he had to ask about his intentions. She won't take him home just because she's beautiful.
The girl's childish face was full of determination. “I can see that you are a good person. Only by following you can I have the opportunity to become an expert.”
“Don't worry, I won't be a burden to you. I can cook, wash, and do all the housework. I'm willing to be your servant. Please accept me!”
The girl looked pitiful, and her large eyes were filled with hope. Then, he would kneel.
Su Mo stretched out his hand to stop him and said, “Since you are willing to follow me, then come with me! I'll teach you how to cultivate in the future. “
“Of course, if you want to leave in the future, I won't stop you.
Su Mo sighed inwardly. Although this girl looked weak, she was very strong and resolute.
“Thank you, young master!”
A rare smile finally appeared on the girl's face. Suddenly, it was like a hundred flowers blooming, which was extremely dazzling.
Then, Su Mo brought the girl back to Sunnywood City.
They did not ride horses, but walked all the way to Sunnywood City.
Although the girl had yet to awaken her Martial Soul and was not a true martial artist, she was at the Lv 6 Body Tempering Realm, so it was fine for her to walk tens of kilometers.
Along the way, Su Mo talked to him a lot and knew him more or less.
The girl's name was Gu Lanxi, a very beautiful name.
She was 14 years old and would be 15 years old in two months, which was roughly the same age as Su Mo.
In the afternoon, they returned to Sus.
“Shoppers! Where did Su Mo find such a beautiful girl? “
“This useless person probably knows that he will not live long, so he should make use of the last two weeks to have fun!”
“Maybe! Shit, all good people are taken by pigs! “
Su Mo led Gu Lanxi to the Su family home. The girl's pretty face immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Many of Su's disciples were jealous and envious of Su Mo. Of course, most of them were insulting!
Su Mo brought the girl back to his courtyard and arranged a room for her.
There are four rooms in the courtyard of his house. He lived in one room, and the other was empty.
“Xi’er, you can stay here from now on!”
Su Mo helped the girl tidy up the room and prepared some daily necessities. “If you need something in the future, let me know.”
“Oke, thank you, young master!”
The girl nodded slightly.
“As for cultivation, I will buy some potions for you when I have time, so you can finish Body Tempering as soon as possible.”
Su Mo continued, “After you finish Body Tempering, I will find a way to help you awaken your Martial Soul!”
“Oke, thank you, young master!”
The girl was touched and had great respect for Su Mo.
“Ha ha! Xi’er, you don't have to be polite. I am an ordinary man. “
Su Mo smiled and said, “From now on, don't call me young master. Sounds weird. Just call me by my name!”
“I ... I can't do that!”
The girl hurriedly waved her hand and said anxiously, “You have helped me a lot. How can I call you by your name? That's not polite! “
“After all, I am only your servant now, so I dare not call you like that!”
“Eh!”
Su Mo was silent. This girl is too in control!
“Who said you were my maid? You're my brother from now on. Yes, my sworn sister. “
Su Mo said seriously.
Hearing Su Mo's words, the girl opened her watery big eyes and looked at Su Mo without blinking.
“What? You don't want to? “
Su Mo deliberately put on a flat face and pretended to be a slave.
“Not ... no, I want!”
The girl blushed and was very touched.
“Ha ha! Come on, call me brother first. “
Su Mo's lips curled up into a smile as he teased.
“Uh ... Sister Su Mo!”
The girl blushed and did not dare to raise her head. His voice is as low as a mosquito.
