C992 A New Beginning

After the meal, Qing Feng went to clean up the things in the tent, and packed up some of the things that he wanted to take away. Zi Lan also obediently washed the bowls and chopsticks and put them away. Although she was about to leave, there were still some habits that could not be changed.

After everything was ready, Qing Feng carried a bag and arrived in front of Zi Lan.

"Let's go." Qing Feng said while looking at Zi Lan.

Hearing Qing Feng's words, Zi Lan's body trembled. She was still reluctant to leave. After all, this was where she grew up.

"I want to go and see grandfather." Zi Lan said.

Qing Feng nodded.

Then, the two of them walked out of the tent together and arrived in front of the old man's grave.

Looking at this lonely grave without a tombstone, Zi Lan began to miss her grandfather. However, people could not come back to life after death. There were some things that she had to learn to put down.

Qing Feng did not make a sound to disturb Zi Lan. The two of them stood in front of the old man's grave for two hours.

Finally, Zi Lan calmed herself down and turned around to walk out of the Rain Girl Village.

Qing Feng also took a last look at the old man's lonely grave and chased after Zi Lan.

...

"Where do you want?" After Qing Feng and Zi Lan left the village, they did not know where to go, so they asked Zi Lan, wanting to hear her opinion.

"Let's go to the south." Zi Lan looked towards the south, and without stopping, she walked forward with large strides.

"Why are you going to the south?" Qing Feng did not know why Zi Lan wanted to go to the south.

"Granddad told me they were heading south, and now that he's dead, I want to tell them, whether they want to come back and pay their respects or not." Zi Lan said stubbornly.

Hearing her answer, Qing Feng was startled for a moment, but in the end, he did not say a word. Instead, he silently followed behind Zi Lan, and together the two of them walked towards the south.

After they left Rain Woman Village, Qingfeng saw a forest that separated Rain Woman Village from the outside world. Seeing this, Qingfeng understood why all of the young and strong villagers were about to leave the village.

For the young and the young, the outside world was the place they truly wanted. The old were too old and their hearts were no longer active, so no old man wanted to leave his home.

Qing Feng and Zi Lan didn't know where Zi Lan's father was, so they kept on walking towards the south. They did not know how long it would take for them to see a sign of human habitation, and what they saw was always a green forest.

After two days of walking, they still had not come out of the woods, and the food they had prepared was almost finished. They had never been as far from the village as they had been, and for a moment there was silence between them.

It was night.

Qing Feng lit a bonfire to drive the wild beasts of the night closer. After he and Zi Lan ate a simple meal, he let Zi Lan go to sleep first. For the past few nights Qing Feng had been on guard.

Tonight's moon was especially bright, but it was very quiet. There was not even the sound of the wind. This kind of night was a little eerie, and because Zi Lan had a breeze, she felt extremely at ease and quickly fell asleep.

However, Qing Feng felt that today's situation was a little special. He had been carefully observing his surroundings, worried that there would be a sudden change.

The fire in the bonfire was dancing, and Qing Feng's face was illuminated by it.

At this moment.

"Click!"

The sound of a tree branch being broken was suddenly heard.

When Qing Feng heard the sound, his expression immediately tensed up. He stood up and looked around, trying to find the source of the sound.

When he found out that it was a rabbit passing by and broke a tree branch, Qing Feng felt relieved.

He was ready to sit back down, but just when he was about to sit down...

"Bam!"

A muffled sound was heard, and at the same time, a black shadow rushed out of the forest on the side and fell to the ground, leaving a several feet long mark.

At this moment, Qing Feng immediately realized that something was amiss. He quickly ran over to Zi Lan's side and wanted to protect her.

Zi Lan had also been woken up by the commotion. She opened her sleepy eyes and looked at Qing Feng in confusion, not knowing what had happened. When she saw the black figure lying on the ground, she quickly hid behind Qing Feng in fear and used her hands to grab onto the corner of his clothes.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Qing Feng also did not know what was going on and did not know what the black shadow was. He was also a little nervous, but Zi Lan was behind him, so he could not show his nervousness. He had to calm Zi Lan down.

Hearing Qing Feng's words, Zi Lan was indeed relieved, and obediently nodded her head.

She hid behind Qing Feng and carefully looked at the black shadow on the ground.

Qing Feng was also nervously staring at the black shadow. Because of the long distance, he was unable to see clearly what it was, and did not know whether it would suddenly attack them or not.

At this moment, the black shadow suddenly moved. Then, it stood up with some difficulty and walked towards Qing Feng and the others.

Through the light of the fire, Qing Feng could see that it was a man, but he seemed to be badly injured. The black liquid on him should be blood, but it didn't seem to be scarlet, as if it had been poisoned.

"Stop, don't come any closer!" Qing Feng reached out his hand to stop the person from approaching. Seeing such a person outside, anyone would be on guard.

However, the other person continued to walk forward as if he hadn't heard Qing Feng's words. However, each step he took was extremely taxing, and his body was a bit shaky.

Seeing this, Qing Feng's brows knitted tightly, and Zi Lan who was behind him was also trembling in fear.

That person slowly walked over, and just as he was about to reach Qing Feng and Zi Lan.

"Plop!"

The man actually fell to the ground. The two didn't know what was going on with the man and didn't approach him. Instead, they stayed far away and watched him quietly.

After an hour, the man didn't move a bit. It seemed he had passed out.

For safety reasons, Qing Feng decided to go up and check. He approached the man carefully.

When he got to the person's front, he found that the person's face was black and there was black blood flowing out of the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that he was poisoned.

He boldly squatted down and tried to check the man's breath with his hand, but at this time, he suddenly changed his voice.

"Ceng!"

The fainted man suddenly opened his eyes and reached out his hand to grab Qing Feng's wrist.

Qing Feng was shocked. His pupils were shrinking. He wanted to step back, but the man grabbed his wrist so hard that he couldn't.

Zi Lan, who was behind him, was so scared that her legs went soft. She stood there in a daze and was about to cry.

At this moment, Qing Feng's heart was also beating crazily. He did not know how to deal with the current situation.
