The tunnel is long and deep, and although the place you first entered is a bit narrow, the further you go inside, the smoother and empty it becomes.
Faintly, Ling Feng actually sensed a strange energy fluctuation, which seemed to be some kind of strange magic circle.
Gu Tengfeng obviously discovered this, but he couldn't understand how such a strange formation could exist in such a remote mountain village.
Moreover, it seems that it is precisely because this magic circle can isolate the practitioner's spiritual consciousness that Jiang Xiaofan's family was able to escape.
Is it possible that Jiang Xiaofan’s ancestors were not ordinary people?
A guess flashed through Ling Feng's mind, but in this case, he couldn't ask any more questions.
I don't know how long it took, but there was a burst of light at the end of the tunnel. Jiang Xiaofan quickened his pace and rushed out of the tunnel in a flash.
It turned out that at the end of the tunnel, there was actually a cave. There were some torches burning inside the cave, and many ordinary people in shabby clothes were huddled in the cave, shivering.
Hearing footsteps coming from the direction of the tunnel, some stronger villagers grabbed some farm tools such as fences or hoes, and cautiously stood in front of the women and children.
"Old Uncle Zhong! Second Uncle Wang!..."
When Jiang Xiaofan saw the people in the cave, he shouted excitedly. These were the neighbors who lived near his Jiang family!
"Xiaofan?"
When the villagers saw that it was Jiang Xiaofan who came out of the tunnel, they all burst into tears with excitement.
In the entire Xuanwu Village, Jiang Xiaofan's family is the only martial artist, and it was Jiang Xiaofan's father who taught the villagers some boxing and kicking skills. Therefore, the Jiang family can be said to be highly loved by the villagers in the entire Xuanwu Village.
Especially when they heard that Jiang Xiaofan had joined the famous Tianwei Academy in the empire. In their view, Jiang Xiaofan was a legendary figure and the savior of their Xuanwu Village!
Then, Ling Feng, Gu Tengfeng, Lin Xianer, and Yun Yiyi also walked out of the tunnel, which immediately made the villagers in the cave a little nervous.
The clothes on Gu Tengfeng and the others are so gorgeous. In the eyes of these simple villagers, this is the sign of a young lady. And who among the young gentlemen in the city can look down on country bumpkins like them!
"Don't be afraid, everyone. These are my senior brothers and sisters from Tianwei Academy. They are all my good friends."
Jiang Xiaofan saw many familiar faces, but he didn't see his father or mother. He couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Zhong, where is my father? Where is my grandma? And where is my little sister Jingjing?"
"Xiaofan!"
The old Uncle Zhong threw away the hoe in his hand, hugged Jiang Xiaofan, and cried loudly, "Xiaofan, old Uncle Zhong is sorry for you!"
"What's wrong?" Jiang Xiaofan's heart thumped, and he had a bad premonition. He pressed Old Uncle Zhong's shoulders and asked urgently.
"I...I..." Old Uncle Zhong's eyes were red from holding back, and when he saw Jiang Xiaofan's appearance, he didn't know how to speak.
"Tell me! Tell me quickly!" Jiang Xiaofan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
"Fan'er!" At this moment, a middle-aged woman dressed in coarse clothes and linen slowly walked out of another cave deep in the cave, holding a girl in her arms.
The girl looked to be only ** years old, but her face was pale and her eyes were dull, and she seemed to be severely frightened.
"Aniang! Jingjing!"
Jiang Xiaofan rushed over immediately. Seeing his mother's haggard look, he had already guessed something.
His father was probably killed!
"Xiao Fan..." Tears fell from the corners of the middle-aged woman's eyes, and her voice became a little more choked up, "Your father, he... he always only knows how to do it for others, and only knows how to save others!"
The other villagers also burst into tears, "The village chief is our hero!"
"He was caught by that monster because he was trying to save us!"
Jiang Xiaofan clenched his fist tightly and stabbed it directly into his palm. Blood trickled down without even realizing it.
Too late!
After all, he came a step too late!
Ling Feng sighed softly, stepped forward and patted Jiang Xiaofan on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Xiaofan, what happened has already happened, no matter how much you bear, it will be in vain. Only by catching that devil can you avenge your father.
!”
Jiang Xiaofan's body was trembling slightly, and no matter how hard he tried to hold it back, he could not control the tears from bursting out of his eyes.
"Why……"
Gu Tengfeng and the others could only sigh and hurry up, but in the end it was still a step too late.
"Xiao Fan, cheer up, we must let that murderer receive the punishment he deserves!" Lin Xian'er said to comfort him.
"Yes, Junior Brother Xiaofan, we will all help you!"
Yun Yiyi also gritted her teeth. In fact, she lost her father when she was young. His father died in a battle with the demon clan, so she felt the pain of Jiang Xiaofan losing his father.
Jiang Xiaofan bit his lip tightly and burst into tears.
Who says a man doesn’t shed tears easily just because he hasn’t reached the sad point yet?
Ling Feng patted Jiang Xiaofan on the shoulder, knowing that trying to persuade him at this time would be of no use. He could only let Jiang Xiaofan calm down.
He glanced at the girl in Jiang Xiaofan's mother's arms, sighed secretly, stepped forward and bowed to Jiang's mother, and said in a deep voice: "Auntie, I am Xiaofan's classmate at Tianwei Academy. I know some medical skills. It seems,
Your daughter may have been severely frightened, causing restlessness and confusion. If not treated in time, it may affect her mind."
"You...can you really cure Jingjing?" A glimmer of hope flashed in Jiang's mother's eyes, and her eyes were fixed on Ling Feng.
"Yes, I can."
Ling Feng nodded. He knew very well that at this time, any piece of good news would be enough to cheer people up.
"Brother, you must cure Jingjing." Jiang Xiaofan took a deep breath and seemed to cheer up a little. He also knew that in this situation, he was his mother's spiritual support.
Although he was extremely sad in his heart, if even he couldn't cheer up, who could his mother and sister rely on?
"Don't worry." Ling Feng saw that Jiang Xiaofan could cheer up, nodded and smiled slightly, then reached out to hug Jingjing in Jiang's mother's arms, but the little girl bit her hand.
"Jingjing, what are you doing? Stop talking!" Jiang's mother scolded her quickly.
"It's okay." Ling Feng shook his head and smiled, letting the girl bite his palm, gently hugged her over, and said with a warm smile: "This is a spirit-leaving syndrome caused by excessive fright. All it takes is a few
If she is stimulated by the outside world, she will take the initiative to attack the other person. Just let her know that I have no ill intentions."
Ling Feng gently combed the hair on Jingjing's forehead and said warmly: "Don't worry, I'm here to help you."
Jingjing blinked, as if she could taste the blood on Ling Feng's palm, and quickly let go of Ling Feng, trying to return to her mother's arms.
Ling Feng put his fingers gently to make Jingjing fall asleep. He then took out a row of golden needles and started treating Jingjing.
