Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1278 (One Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy-Eight) Difficult

Wu Xunsheng thought she was so strange that he couldn't describe it. He said to her, "You weren't..."

In order to prevent him from doubting her, Tie Hongyan interrupted him and said loudly: "I was ignorant before, but now I hate the Blue Armor People the most. The Blue Armor People killed my mother!" She thought it would be just right if other people heard what she said loudly at this time.

Half a month later, on an evening with the sky filled with sunset glow, Tie Hongyan and Wu Xunsheng sat on the ground after running tired in the fields, looking at the sunset in the sky and taking a rest.

The two were talking about sunsets, and he said that he liked particularly red sunsets, and that no matter what color they were, they were all beautiful.

She asked him, "Really? Then if I tell you one, will you think it looks good?"

He asked her which one.

She said that she didn't think it looked good if it was red like the sky was bleeding. She said that because she thought of the cruel things she had seen and the blood on Dong Su's body.

Wu Xunsheng was so hungry that his stomach growled. He felt that he and her had played longer that day than usual, but no one came to take them back for food. So he asked if it was already past time to go back for food.

As soon as he finished speaking, the person who told them to go back and eat came. This time it was Wang Qi.

When he saw Wang Qi, Tie Hongyan was stunned again, because there were bloodstains on Wang Qi's clothes.

Because she thought of the bloodstains on Dong Su's clothes and what Dong Su said, she asked Wang Qi directly if he had helped others slaughter livestock.

Wang Qi shook his head and said he hoped the blood on his clothes didn't scare them.

Tie Hongyan asked: "If it's not the blood of livestock, then it must be from human beings?"

Wang Qi said "hmm". Wu Xunsheng asked what was going on.

Wang Qi said that the blood belonged to Dong Su and he was already dead.

Tie Hongyan was very surprised and asked him how Dong Su died. Wang Qi told him the truth about Dong Su being poisoned and vomiting blood, and said he didn't know who the murderer was. He also said that the blood on his clothes was from when he was carrying Dong Su just now.

Seeing bloodstains on the clothes of the chief's men twice left a deep impression on Tie Hongyan. This made her feel more clearly the "difficulties" that Tie Jin had mentioned, and she couldn't even imagine what she would face in the future. At this time, she seemed to realize more clearly that she had to further accustom herself to living under a sky that seemed to be bleeding.

A year passed quickly. One evening, after both children had started learning the Huanying Spear Technique, Tie Hongyan was practicing martial arts in the wild. He began to breathe rapidly and sweat profusely. Later, he felt dizzy and soon could not stand.

Wu Xunsheng saw her falling to the ground weakly, and in shock he held her tightly to prevent her from falling, and she sat on the ground.

She felt dizzy and wanted to vomit, and said to Wu Xunsheng, "Let's go back." Wu Xunsheng touched her forehead and found it was very hot. Thinking she was sick, he immediately carried her on his back and walked towards Ao Qian Palace. She was holding two Huanying Spears tightly in her hands.

She felt it was too hard for him to carry her and asked him to put her down first.

They sat on a rock by the roadside to rest. Seeing that she was tired and weak, he let her lean on him, and they just sat there quietly.

He felt the wind was picking up, so he said he wanted to go back quickly. After she agreed, he carried her on his back again.

After they walked for a while, she felt that he was too tired, so she asked him to put her down again.

She sat down again and leaned on him for a while, and then he carried her on his back again.
