The smell of blood in the air was so strong that it couldn’t be dissolved, making Song Jie frown.
“Ouch~”
Golden Horn roared in a low voice, seeming to tell Song Jie that there might be danger ahead, while also expressing its inner uneasiness.
Song Jie looked in the direction Jin Jiao was facing and saw a small village there.
The strong smell of blood wafted from that village.
Looking from a distance, you can still see the tops of several wooden houses in the village, and the smoke rising from the cooking pots.
The seemingly inhabited village gave people a feeling of deathly silence, and the strong smell of blood wafted in the wind.
“A village full of weird things?
“Or is this a village that just suffered a massacre?”
If it was the former, then naturally there would be nothing to say and he would just turn around and leave decisively.
Song Jie has absolutely no interest in exploring strange places.
If it’s the latter, then you have to turn around and leave.
Who knows if the person who massacred the village is still nearby. If it is a monk who is more powerful than himself, it will be even more dangerous.
Therefore, with almost no hesitation, Song Jie decided to pretend that he saw nothing, change the direction, take a slight detour, and then continue on his way.
Just when Song Jie was about to issue an order to Jin Jiao, a child’s cry came faintly from the village in the distance.
“Dad…Mom…where are you?” Why is everyone missing?
“Don’t leave grandma alone, okay…
“Grandma is scared~” Wuwuwu…”
Hearing the faint cry of a little girl in the distance, Song Jie immediately stopped moving.
“Is there a little girl in the village?”
Song Jie muttered a little suspiciously.
He wasn’t sure. That little girl was the incarnation of weirdness? Or is she really just a normal little girl? “Listening to the little girl’s cry, it seemed that everyone in the small village had disappeared except the little girl.
“Besides, there was nothing weird about the little girl’s voice, indicating that it was probably a village that had just suffered a massacre.
“The people who massacred the village should have left, otherwise the little girl’s cries would soon be cut off.”
After thinking for a moment, Song Jie thought it would be better to go over and take a look.
If that was really a normal little girl, if she were left in a small village with no other living people, she would probably not survive for a few days.
Just the smell of blood wafting out of the village could easily attract wild beasts at night.
And it is impossible for a little girl to resist the attack of a wild beast.
After making the decision, Song Jie no longer hesitated and immediately issued an order to Jin Jiao.
“Jinjiao, go and investigate whether there is anything dangerous in that village…
“If you sense any danger midway, turn around and run back immediately.”
“Ouch~”
After Jin Jiao roared, he followed Song Jie’s instructions, jumped off the carriage, and sneaked towards the small village.
As a luck beast, Golden Horn has the innate ability to seek good luck and avoid evil. If there is danger ahead, Golden Horn can sense it in advance and come back to report it in time.
That’s why Song Jie asked Jin Jiao to go over first to find out.
When the demon attacked at the White Jade Plaza of the Danding Sect, Song Jie did not flee the scene immediately.
On the one hand, they were protected by other powerful figures. On the other hand, they also observed Jin Jiao’s reaction and found that Jin Jiao did not show any abnormal behavior.
It said that the battle between the demon and the Alchemy Sect should not affect them, so Song Jie chose to stay and watch the battle.
And the facts also proved that the monks sitting on the VIP table were safe from beginning to end.
At this time, Song Jie looked at Jin Jiao’s little figure that was approaching the village, and his spirits were tense all the time.
Once he found out that Jin Jiao started to turn back halfway, he would immediately be ready to run away with Jin Jiao.
Fortunately, everything was going smoothly, and the accident that Song Jie expected did not happen.
Soon, Jinjiao ran to the entrance of the village, took a few steps forward, jumped onto the roof of a wooden house with a slight jump.
After looking around for a while, Jin Jiao looked at Song Jie in the distance, raised his little paw, and waved his paw towards Song Jie.
“It seems there is no danger in the village anymore.”
Song Jie nodded imperceptibly, then no longer hesitated, driving the carriage towards the village.
Not long after, Song Jie arrived at the entrance of the village.
Song Jie jumped out of the carriage with a slight jump.
When Jin Jiao saw Song Jie coming, he had already jumped off the roof in advance and ran towards Song Jie.
“Well done, I’ll get you something delicious to eat when you get back.”
Song Jie knelt down, rubbed Jinjiao’s little head, and praised it.
When he heard that there was delicious food coming back, Jinjiao immediately grinned and kept wagging his tail.
Song Jie smiled slightly, then stood up and stood at the entrance of the village, looking at this strange-looking little village.
As soon as I saw it, I could see the village land, the outer walls of the houses on both sides, and various farm tools scattered on the ground…everywhere was stained with bright red blood.
Standing at the entrance of the village, you can even feel how pungent the smell of blood is.
This must have resulted in the massacre of an entire village to create this scene.
Who is it that is so cruel and inhumane?
Apparently, after the villagers of this village were massacred, their bodies were taken away.
I don’t know what the purpose of the Slayer is.
Song Jie sighed softly.
At this time, he could still hear the little girl’s intermittent whimpering.
“Dad…
“Mother…
“Woooooooo…”
Perhaps because she was tired from crying, the little girl’s voice was much softer than before.
“Can you find the location of the little girl?”
Song Jie looked at Jin Jiao aside.
He could actually find the little girl’s location by following the sound, but he certainly couldn’t find it as fast as Jinjiao’s nose.
After receiving Song Jie’s order, Jin Jiao immediately twitched his nose.
next moment.
“Ouch~”
After howling, Jinjiao ran towards the village, and Song Jie quickly followed.
When they reached a fork in the road, Jin Jiao twisted his body and turned to the left path.
Soon, Song Jie saw a little girl about five or six years old in a corner.
The little girl was wearing patched clothes and huddled in the corner.
Seeing a man and an animal suddenly appear in front of her, the little girl’s face was instantly filled with a look of horror.
“Don’t kill grandma… don’t kill grandma…”
Seeing the little girl’s appearance, Song Jie immediately squatted down and said with some distress: “I’m not here to kill you. Can you tell me what happened here?”
“Don’t kill grandma… don’t kill grandma…”
Song Jie sighed quietly.
He knew that the little girl was frightened and stimulated, and she was not mentally normal at this time.
Instinctively resist strangers.
No matter how he asked, he couldn’t get any useful information out.
The first priority is to calm the little girl’s emotions and restore her mental state to normal.
“Jinjiao, go and see if there are any other living people in the village.
“I’ll take her to the carriage first. We’ll wait for you on the carriage.”
“Ouch~”
After Jinjiao called out, he ran off to carry out Song Jie’s order.
Seeing Jin Jiao’s figure disappear around the corner, Song Jie no longer hesitated and took out a bottle of Mishen Pills from his storage bag.
He opened the cap of the Mi Shen Pill, placed the mouth of the bottle on the tip of the little girl’s nose and shook it.
After a while, the little girl’s pleas for mercy began to gradually become smaller and smaller until they disappeared.
Looking at the sleeping little girl, Song Jie plugged the mouth of the bottle of Mi Shen Pills with a stopper and put it back into the storage bag.
Mi Shen Pill is a first-class elixir developed for monks in the Qi refining stage, and it has extremely strong psychedelic power.
Considering that the little girl was just an ordinary mortal and relatively young, Song Jie did not have the power to directly activate the Mi Shen Pill.
He simply gave the little girl a smell of elixir and made her faint.
This move can also test whether the little girl is really just an ordinary mortal.
If he were not an ordinary mortal, but the incarnation of an evil spirit, he would not fall asleep just by smelling the elixir fragrance of the Mi Shen Pill.
Seeing the little girl who was asleep and with her brows spread out, Song Jie couldn’t help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the little girl showed no abnormality.
At the same time, I also feel sympathy for what this little girl is going through.
After sighing again, Song Jie leaned over and picked up the little girl, turned and walked towards the outside of the village.
Judging from the situation in this village, it is unlikely that there are other living people.
It was obviously impossible for this little girl to continue living here. Song Jie just thought about it briefly and decided to take the little girl away.
Soon, he returned to the carriage with the little girl in his arms.
He gently placed the little girl in the car, then took out a blanket from the storage bag, folded it in half, and covered the little girl’s body to prevent her from catching a cold.
“This little girl is quite cute, poor baby…”
Looking at the little girl’s delicate face like a porcelain doll, Song Jie shook his head, then left the carriage and went outside, waiting for Jin Jiao to return.
Fortunately, this village is not big, just a small village.
About a quarter of an hour later, Jin Jiao had searched the entire village and returned to Song Jie.
Song Jie asked: “How is it? Is there anyone alive?”
“Ouch~”
Golden Horn shook his head, indicating that there was no one alive.
“Sure enough…” Song Jie sighed and said, “Get in the car, let’s continue on our way.”
Immediately, the man and the beast jumped on the carriage one after another, drove the horses, and continued to drive towards Xinyuefang City.
Unconsciously, night fell again.
Song Jie found an open space suitable for spending the night and tied the horse next to a big tree.
Then he picked up some dry branches from around and set up a simple fire in the open space.
Just when he was about to light the fire, Golden Horn jumped out of the darkness ahead, holding a rabbit with gray hair in his mouth.
While parking the car, Song Jie arranged for Jinjiao to go hunting.
With the strength of the unicorn beast, Golden Horn, it would not be too easy to catch some small animals.
Thanks to this, they ate game every day during this period.
Occasionally when he gets tired of wild game, he eats the beef jerky prepared in Song Jie’s storage bag and other pickled foods that can be stored for a long time.
After Golden Horn threw the hare beside the fire, he turned around and disappeared into the night.
Just one hare was not enough for the two of them, so Jinjiao had to hunt another small animal and come back.
Song Jie didn’t say anything more. After lighting the fire, he released the Qingming Nether Fire.
Under the control of his Dao Realm Dan Fire Technique, the hair on the hare’s body was burned completely in a short while, but the skin and flesh under the hair was not affected at all.
Immediately afterwards, Song Jie took out a kitchen knife, two small iron bars, and a chopping board from the storage bag.
Swish, swish, in just a moment, Song Jie had disemboweled the hare and taken out the internal organs.
The edible offal is threaded on a small iron rod, and the rabbit body is threaded on another small iron rod.
Then he cast the Qingming Nether Fire, covering the two small iron rods, directly burning the internal organs and impurities on the rabbit’s body.
After doing all this, Song Jie placed the two iron rods on the fire and began to bake them.
At this time, Golden Horn came back with another pheasant in his mouth.
Song Jie touched Jin Jiao’s head to show encouragement.
Then without saying anything else, he brought the pheasant over, quickly processed the pheasant in the same way, and put it on the fire to roast together.
At this moment, Song Jie heard some movement in the carriage.
Listening to uneven breathing coming from the carriage, Song Jie knew that the little girl had woken up.
However, he did not rush over to open the curtain, which would probably scare the little girl again.
He planned to give the little girl some buffer time to adapt to the current situation.
The hare and pheasant continued to be roasted.
Jinjiao sat next to Song Jie, sticking out his tongue and helping to bake together. From time to time, he used his paws to turn the iron rod to make the hare and pheasant roast more evenly.
As time went by, the hares and pheasants on the iron rods also turned golden, and a rich aroma of meat also wafted out.
After a while, a “gurgling” sound came from the car.
Song Jie saw out of the corner of his eye that the curtain of the carriage was opened by a small hand, and a small head cautiously stuck out from inside.
Staring directly at the golden and tender hare and pheasant roasting on the fire.
Song Jie couldn’t help but smile, and said warmly: “Are you hungry? Come out and eat something.”
Hearing Song Jie’s voice, the little head immediately retracted into the carriage.
Song Jie smiled slightly and continued to say warmly: “Don’t be afraid, I’m not a bad person.”
However, Song Jie’s kind gesture seemed to have little effect. The little girl still hid in the carriage and did not come out.
After a while, another “gurgling” sound came from the car.
It seemed that she was really hungry, and Song Jie said that she was not a bad person. After a fierce ideological struggle, the little girl went to eat.
Finally, he plucked up the courage and climbed out of the car.
He looked at Song Jie, then at Jin Jiao who was sitting next to Song Jie, and finally fixed his gaze on the rabbit meat and chicken on the fire.
“Gudu~”
After swallowing the little saliva with difficulty, the little girl timidly said: “Those… can grandma eat them?”
