Chapter 281 Only Awan
Kru opened his eyes and saw a fair and beautiful face. His beastly eyes widened suddenly: "Healer Sang, it's you! You're not..."
The rest of the words stuck in his throat, and the shock in his eyes was still clearly visible.
Sang Qing smiled at him, then moved her legs back a little.
When the orcs in the Kru team saw that their leader had returned to normal, they immediately released him and stepped forward to inquire about him with concern.
Klu rose from the ground, transformed into human form, and looked at Sang Qing with a mixture of surprise and complexity.
"No wonder the naval forces mobilized all their forces and searched for a whole month, almost turning the Blue Moon Sea and the surrounding area upside down, but to no avail. It turns out you didn't die at all."
"Claire would be so happy to know you're still alive."
Kru pressed the personal terminal, wanting to immediately share the good news with his brother, but unfortunately they had been out for a week and the personal terminal had long since run out of power.
This area is contaminated and there is no cell phone signal.
Wang Feng and the others finally realized that the person in front of them was the S-level healer who had recently fallen in the capital, a loss that had saddened countless people.
They all covered their mouths, their eyes filled with shock no less than that of Kru.
Klu thanked Sang Qing for saving his life and asked curiously, "Healer Sang, what are you doing here?"
Sang Qing didn't know how she ended up here, so she found a place to sit down and said, "You're welcome. It's just a coincidence that we ran into each other. It proves you're lucky."
Then the topic was changed: "How's the situation in Beijing?"
When the mercenaries saw Sang Qing sit down on the ground without any sign of disgust, they instantly felt that this healer was quite easygoing.
Everyone was exhausted after a long day, so they all sat down and started tending to their wounds.
Klu told Sang Qing what had happened in the capital during her disappearance.
Although he didn't specifically inquire about it, he was still aware of the major events that had caused such a stir, and with the additions from other members of the team, he was basically on the same page.
When Sang Qing heard that Shi Ying had almost turned the capital upside down and was willing to do anything to avenge her, even at the cost of injuring herself as well as the enemy, she felt a pang of heartache.
"Was Ying injured at that time?" she asked.
"Probably not. I ran into Major General Shi a couple of days ago. General Shi is also on a mission to clear out the alien beasts in this area. He probably won't be leaving anytime soon. You might run into him if you come with us," Kru replied.
Sang Qing breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
[Host, it seems you're getting along quite well with the contracted beast I helped you bind.]
Xiaoyuan's electronic voice was still cold and impersonal, but it inexplicably carried a hint of mockery.
Sang Qing gave a faint "hmm," as if responding to Xiao Yuan, or perhaps to Kelu.
After the mercenary group had rested, Sang Qing set off with them.
With Kru transforming into his beast form to carry her, their speed was naturally much faster than when she traveled on two legs, and they didn't encounter any strange beasts on the outskirts.
The town of Qingyuan is not far from her town of Qingye. It is larger in area and has a larger population, but at the street corner, you can see several dusty-faced children begging.
They were ragged, emaciated, but their eyes were bright and clear. As soon as they saw passersby, they would skillfully beg them for food, supplies, or even money.
Judging from their formulaic rhetoric, you can tell they are very experienced at begging and can even accurately pick out the easy targets from the crowd.
People like Sang Qing, who were protected by a dozen or so burly, fierce-looking males, would shrink back and turn to the next single male to beg after just one glance.
“Healer Sang, I’ve inquired. Major General Shi hasn’t left yet. I’ll go hand in my mission first, and while I’m at it, I’ll ask him where he lives,” Klu said.
Sang Qing nodded.
Klu left two men behind, ordered a few more to go out and gather information, and then left with his men.
Not long after Klu left, a commotion was heard in the distance.
Sang Qing looked toward the source of the commotion with the others and saw that proud and outstanding profile.
Even from a distance, she can recognize him at a glance.
The upright and authoritative blue-black uniform worn by the young marshal made him stand out even more as he calmly issued orders.
A lingering gloom hung over his icy face, and his cold and indifferent demeanor inexplicably gave off a sense of desolation.
Shi Ying seems to have lost weight.
Sang Qing recalled the last look he saw when she fell into the sea, the brokenness and fear in her eyes, and his nose stung with tears.
Sang Qing blinked, turned her head, and waved to the little boy who was cautiously watching her from the street corner. The little boy was the oldest among the beggars, but he looked only six or seven years old. His big, dark eyes revealed a shrewdness beyond his years, clearly indicating that he was the leader of the group of children.
Upon seeing Sang Qing's greeting, the little boy hesitated for only a moment before walking over.
Sang Qing raised an eyebrow, "You've got some nerve."
She squatted down, exchanged a dozen or so fruit candies from the system, pointed in the direction of Shi Ying in the distance, and whispered something.
The little boy looked in the direction Sang Qing was pointing, then took the candy and nodded.
……
The well-trained soldiers of the Third District quickly completed the operation and evacuated the crowd.
Shi Ying looked at the wailing and pleading orcs with a cold gaze, her face showing no emotion, only indifference and mockery.
When Ah Wan was hurt, she wasn't as useless as they were.
When the south wind blows, longing becomes an illness.
A tickling sensation rose in his throat, but he managed to suppress it.
He tucked the gun back into his waistband and walked at the back of the group, his posture as straight as a pine tree, making it impossible for anyone to tell that he had just recovered from a serious illness.
His powerful aura created a clear space around him, and no one dared to approach him easily.
But a small figure slipped through the arms of the tall, strong soldier like an eel, trying to rush to Shi Ying's side.
Unfortunately, Shi Ying's men were no pushovers either. Halfway there, they grabbed the little boy by the back of the neck and warned him menacingly, "Kid, do you know who that is? You're just rushing around like that. Don't you want to die?"
Ignoring the soldier's warning, the little boy held up the fruit candy in his hand to Shi Ying, who was looking over, and said in a clear voice, "Brother, a pretty older sister asked me to give this to you."
With a loud bang.
Shi Ying looked at the small candy wrapped in pale gold paper, and the calm indifference in her eyes shattered in an instant.
It's like a pebble being thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples that never stop.
Where is that woman?
Shi Ying quickly stepped forward, grabbed the little boy's shoulder anxiously, and couldn't wait to speak.
The soldiers carrying the man were astonished by their major general's outburst and quickly put him down.
The little boy winced in pain, speechless.
Shi Ying paused for a moment, loosened her grip, and tried to keep her voice calm, but the urgency and trembling in her voice were still noticeable. "Tell me! Where is that sister? Can you take me to see her?"
Shi Ying stared intently at the little boy, eager to know the answer.
The little boy pouted in dissatisfaction, but still pointed out the direction to Shi Ying as agreed.
"Over there, to the end."
Almost the instant the words left her mouth, Shi Ying snatched the candy from the little boy's hand and ran rapidly in that direction, her cloak making a sound as it moved through the air.
"Boss? Sigh!!" Youfei vaguely guessed what was going on, quickly arranged the remaining work, and led his men to chase after them.
Shi Ying rushed to the spot the little boy pointed to, her breathing slightly disordered.
Looking at the empty street at its end, clutching the candy tightly in her hand, her beautiful dream seemed to be crumbling.
He shouted into the air,
"Ah Wan! It's you, isn't it?"
"I know it's yours, come out here!"
No one would give him candy except Ah Wan.
Only Ah Wan!
He knew it had to be her!
The person he thought he would never see again bloomed again in his heart when it was plunged into the abyss.
He feared that the news at this moment would be like a bubble, bursting away with the slightest breeze.
The autumn wind rustled the fallen leaves on the ground, and Shi Ying's voice weakened, carrying an uncontrollable tremor.
I miss you, please come out.
