"I...I fled here. I am really desperate and want to find some food to supplement my needs. That's why I offend you all."
"Huh, even so, you can't steal our food!"
The girl said angrily, as if she wanted to rush forward and punch Wei Ming.
"Our family has worked hard to hunt and kill the food. We can't even eat it ourselves. How can we let thieves steal it?"
After saying that, he walked straight forward, as if he wanted to teach Wei Ming some lessons.
The Orion beside him grabbed the girl and stopped her movement.
"good."
Orion said consolingly, and pulled the girl aside. His face remained unchanged, and the bright arrow was still pointing directly at Wei Ming.
"Friend, where are you from and why are you here."
Seeing that Orion still wanted to communicate, Wei Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
"I am coming from Yuzhou. I came here this time with the intention of doing business. Unexpectedly, I encountered bandits on the way. Everyone who was traveling with me was brutally murdered. Only I was able to escape."
Wei Ming's tone was sincere, without any deception.
Moreover, these words really came from his heart. He came here just to make a living.
"oh?"
Hearing this, Orion narrowed his eyes slightly, raised the arrow shaft in his hand, pointed at Wei Ming and said coldly:
"Do you think I am a three-year-old child? It is really abominable to deceive us with lies!"
"The stains on your clothes must be human blood. Even though the blood has changed color due to drying, I can still recognize it!"
"It seems that you are probably a spy of the thieves. You want to come here to rob, and you are deliberately disguising yourself to confuse the situation!"
Orion shouted, the more he spoke, the more excited he became. The tip of the arrow in his hand was already aimed at Wei Ming. As long as the opponent moved, he would shoot out without hesitation.
"No...no, I am really from Yuzhou City. I am definitely not a thief."
Wei Ming denied repeatedly, his face was a little pale, and there were big beads of sweat on his forehead, and he quickly explained:
"I escaped by pretending to be a corpse."
At the same time, I secretly complained that the person in front of me seemed to be a little too vigilant.
"How dare you quibble!"
Orion scolded again. He stared at Wei Ming and said word by word:
"If that's true, then why were you the only one in the caravan who survived, but the rest were all killed?"
"Is there such a coincidence?"
"this......"
Hearing the question raised by Orion, Wei Ming didn't know how to explain it. He couldn't say that he just happened to time travel into the body of the deceased. That would be too much.
"Well... maybe I have better luck..."
"Those thieves missed me alone..."
Wei Ming swallowed, lowered his head and whispered. He hesitated for a long time and didn't know what to say. Even he couldn't convince himself of this reason.
"Hmph, stop prevaricating!"
Orion continued:
"Since you are the thief's spy, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
After saying this, the hunter would raise the arrow in his hand and shoot Wei Ming fiercely, killing him!
"No...listen to my explanation."
Wei Ming's legs became weak and he collapsed on the ground.
I just escaped from the robbers, do I have to die in a place like this without knowing why?
I can not be reconciled!
Wei Ming shouted in his heart.
God must be too cruel to me.
At this moment, perhaps God heard his accusation.
The girl on the side suddenly spoke:
"Dad, forget it, believe him."
"This young man doesn't look like a thief."
"It's really impossible for a thief to have such delicate skin and tender flesh and still show such a panicked expression."
The girl said, her eyes glanced around Wei Ming a few times, and then fell on Orion:
"In my opinion, we'd better not wrongly accuse good people. After all, who would come to defraud poor people who have no money? Besides, if they are really bandits and attack them in a swarm, we won't be able to resist them."
"Can......"
Orion was still hesitant and looked at the girl.
"Okay, don't be too stubborn."
"Believe him."
The girl said with a smile, her eyes were crooked and looked particularly beautiful, like the crescent moon, clear and pure.
When Orion heard this, he sighed, took back the arrow in his hand, put it back, and then said:
"Little brother, don't blame me. In times of war, we have no choice but to do so!"
Hearing this, Wei Ming let out a long breath and collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily.
"Thanks."
He said gratefully.
"Thank you for nothing. I was just helping my father. I didn't want him to accidentally kill a good person."
After the girl finished speaking, the corners of her mouth raised, revealing her white teeth.
"But stealing my food is not a small crime and must be punished!"
"My father said that you should compensate for the losses of my family, otherwise the government will arrest you and bring you to justice!"
After the girl finished speaking, a cunning look flashed in her big almond-shaped eyes.
Wei Ming was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly with a wry smile.
"That's natural, girl."
Orion looked at his daughter and said angrily:
"Don't listen to this girl's nonsense!"
Then he faced Wei Ming, looking a little embarrassed and apologizing:
"Little brother, I can't help you this time."
While saying this, he did not forget to glare at the girl. He was also quite helpless about his daughter's temper.
"Hey, I'm not talking nonsense!"
The girl muttered, with a look of grievance written all over her face.
Wei Ming smiled and bowed to the two of them:
"Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, I'll take my leave now."
"Walk slowly! No delivery!"
Orion waved his hand and did not hold back.
Wei Ming turned around and left. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, looked back at Orion, and said:
"By the way, my name is Wei Ming. I wonder if you two can leave a name for me so that I can repay your kindness in the future."
Although I was frightened, it was my fault after all. I broke into other people's homes and ate and drank, which inevitably caused misunderstandings.
Orion smiled when he heard this and said:
"No, I'm sorry for you, little brother."
"As for repayment, there is no need for it. The two of us don't like the favors owed by others, so you'd better hurry up and get on your way!"
After saying this, Orion stopped talking to Wei Ming.
Wei Ming shook his head and thought to himself, these two people have quite a personality, which is somewhat consistent with his personality.
He originally wanted to know the names of the father and daughter, but they just kept urging him to leave, which made him feel a little depressed, and finally he had to turn around and leave.
Seeing Wei Ming walk away in front of him, Orion breathed a sigh of relief.
"Dad, do you think he is not really a thief?"
The girl asked with some confusion.
After all, she had little experience and didn't know whether what Wei Ming said was true or false, but judging from his appearance, it didn't look like he was just putting on airs.
"I don't know either."
Orion shrugged and smiled:
"Anyway, be careful. No matter what he says is true or false, leave as soon as possible to avoid getting into trouble."
Orion ordered his daughter, his tone full of concern and doting, and he looked very kind.
"Um!"
The girl nodded heavily.
When Orion saw this, he smiled, then turned around and walked into the kitchen to get busy.
The girl stood there thinking for a moment, watching the sky getting dark, and suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly picked up her bow and arrow and chased in the direction of Wei Ming.
Perhaps aware of his daughter's departure, Orion turned around, looked at the retreating figure in the distance, and murmured softly:
"This girl...hey!"
Orion shook his head helplessly, squatted down, and began to cook some medicinal materials. A slight cough made him look a little weak.
Moonlight covers the earth.
At this time, Wei Ming was trapped in the woods. Except for the sound of wind, there was no other sound around him, which made him feel very depressed.
"What should I do? If this continues, won't I get lost?"
He frowned, feeling a little anxious in his heart.
This time he spent most of his time at Orion's place. He had to go out before dark, otherwise if he missed the time, he might have to spend the night in the forest.
This is the most undesirable situation. Even if there are many wild animals, the grass and bushes are dense. If you encounter wolves or jackals, tigers and leopards, you will be really unlucky.
Thinking of this, Wei Ming gritted his teeth and ran forward quickly, regardless of the situation, just to leave the forest as soon as possible.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing by. When he looked up, he saw a fiery red shadow running quickly from a distance.
"what?"
Wei Ming exclaimed and quickly backed away.
"Ouch."
The roar of the tiger resounded through the night, shocking people. Wei Ming was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground. After a closer look, he saw that it was a strong tiger with hair like steel needles all over its body and sharp claws glowing with cold light. It was heading towards
He rushed over, apparently intending to tear it into pieces.
"don't want!"
Wei Ming yelled and backed away desperately, not forgetting to dodge the tiger's flying attack.
But he was too thin to dodge, so he could only barely dodge the tiger's attack.
"Ouch!"
The roar of the tiger came again, this time louder, and it seemed to be filled with the joy of finding prey.
"No more!"
Wei Ming gritted his teeth and sweat broke out on his forehead.
He tried his best to avoid the tiger's attack, but the opponent's speed was too fast, and his body was too weak to dodge. He could only wait for death to come.
