Zhang Tian said: "Where do so many demons and ghosts come from in this world? Take me to see."

After experiencing the incident with Old Lady Shi, Zhang Tian no longer believed that there were ghosts in this world.

Maybe it was a wild beast in the mountains, picking up corpses on the roadside to eat.

Under the guidance of the sergeant, Zhang Tian, ​​Niu Er, Xu Wen, Zhuo Ping and several guards crossed the convoy and walked forward one or two kilometers.

Finally, they arrived at the place designated by the sergeant.

A few hundred meters away, there was a 1-meter-tall humanoid creature, covered with black and dirty cloth strips, with long hair like dreadlocks on his head, mixed with mud and hanging in front of him.

At first glance, it really looked like the "mandrill" in folk legends.

In front of the "mandrill", there were two human corpses, judging from their size, they should be a man and a woman.

The corpses were covered with mud and snow, and their original appearance could no longer be seen.

The "mandrill" dragged one of the bodies into the forest with great effort, dragged it for a few meters, and then turned back to drag the other one.

Tired of dragging, it lay on the body and twitched for a while. From a distance, it seemed to be gnawing to replenish its energy.

Seeing Zhang Tian and others riding horses, it was not afraid and looked over here.

Everyone couldn't see the face of the "mandrill", only a pair of black and red eyes, showing through the messy hair in front of it.

Everyone's scalp was numb!

If it was a four-legged animal such as a wolf or a tiger, everyone would not be afraid, but this "mandrill" would be covered with clothes and stand on two feet. It really looked like a legendary ghost.

Niu Er shouted: "There is an immortal here, no matter what kind of monster it is, just shoot it with an arrow first!"

Niu Er bent his bow and aimed the arrow at the "mandrill" from a distance.

"Stop!" Zhang Tian quickly stopped Niu Er, "I'll go forward and take a look."

"Master~~~" Xu Wen's legs were already shaking.

He was obviously scared to death, but he wanted to see it.

He pulled Zhang Tian's sleeve and hid half of his body behind him.

If Zhang Tian hadn't wanted to walk at this time, he would have hugged his thigh again.

Zhang Tian was getting closer and closer to the "mandrill", and Niu Er and others followed behind him without daring to breathe.

Strangely, the "mandrill" didn't move, staring blankly at everyone approaching.

Even with several bows and arrows and long swords pointed at it, it was not afraid.

Zhang Tian approached the "mandrill" and whispered, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. We are just passing by. We are good people and will not hurt you."

Then he turned around and whispered, "Put down your weapons."

Niu Er and others had to put away their bows and swords and whispered to Xu Wen, "Xu Xiucai, does the immortal want to subdue this mandrill?"

Xu Wen shook his head, "I don't know either..."

Zhang Tian was too lazy to pay attention to the nonsense of the group of people behind him. He slowly reached out to the face of the "mandrill" and gently brushed away the hair.

Then he slowly wiped the dirt off the face of the "mandrill".

Then everyone saw clearly that it was a little girl of eight or nine years old, very thin.

The little face was blue and purple from the cold. Looking at Zhang Tian's actions, she was neither afraid nor resisted, and her eyes were numb.

Zhang Tian touched the little girl's face and her hand. It was cold to the touch, just like the ice and snow on the ground.

Seeing that the little girl did not resist, Zhang Tian did not mind the dirtiness and carefully picked her up.

As soon as she was picked up, the little girl relaxed, her head resting weakly on Zhang Tian's arm, but her eyes refused to close, staring at the two bodies on the ground.

"Niu Er, save people. Tell the team to boil hot soup!"

"Yes, Immortal."

Niu Er turned back quickly, rode on the warhorse, and ran towards the team, shouting as he ran: "Boil the soup quickly! Boil the soup quickly! Boil the soup quickly!"

The team in the distance was confused. What kind of strange order was this?

Fortunately, military orders were as strong as mountains. Everyone didn't bother to think about why, and immediately a sergeant brought out a large and small pot.

Set it up on the road and used the charcoal brought with the car to boil the pot.

Zhang Tian tore open his robe, wrapped the little girl in his arms, climbed on the warhorse with the help of everyone, and trotted back to the carriage.

"Little table, turn the heater to the highest setting."

"Yes, Immortal."

Zhuo Ping came from the inner palace, so she was very good at serving people. She blew the heater in the carriage to the highest setting.

"Xu Wen, rub her hands and feet to warm them up to help circulate blood. Be careful not to use too much force."

"Yes!"

Zhang Tian gently lifted the little girl's outer clothes. Judging from the size, they were clearly for adults.

At this time, they were already covered with snow, mud and dirt, and could no longer be put on.

There were several layers of adult clothes inside, dragging on the ground. No wonder they looked like "mandrills" from a distance.

Each layer of clothes was tied with many knots, tightly wrapping the clothes around the little girl.

In a hurry, Zhang Tian couldn't untie them, and wanted to cut them open with a knife.

The little girl had a slight reaction, and said weakly: "These are my parents' clothes... Don't grab them..."

Zhang Tian hurriedly coaxed: "Don't fight, I'll leave it next to you..."

After unbuttoning the outer clothes, Zhang Tian and Xu Wen, one on each side, gently rubbed the little girl's hands and feet.

After a while, the big pot of water was boiling.

Niu Er came over with an iron pot and shouted, "The hot soup is coming, the hot soup is coming."

Zhang Tian filled a small bowl of hot water, tested the temperature, and felt it was right, so he gently put it into the little girl's mouth.

Fortunately, she could still swallow, and drank a few gulps.

Zhang Tian was relieved immediately.

It seems that she will not die, but I hope she will not suffer from severe frostbite and need amputation.

"Cook some porridge, chop some meat, and add a little ginger in it. Chop it into pieces, the finer the better, and bring it over when it is cooked."

"Yes, Immortal. "

The remaining hot water was soaked in a towel, which was used to wipe the little girl's face, hands and feet.

After all the efforts, the little girl finally looked like a human being.

But her mind was still numb, and although her eyes were open, they would not move.

After the meat porridge was cooked and she was fed a few mouthfuls, the little girl's breath finally improved.

As soon as she recovered a little, the girl struggled to get off the car, shouting: "Dad, Mom, Dad, Mom, where are you..."

"Don't worry, I'll take you to find them when you recover. ”

The little girl didn’t listen and insisted on getting off the car: “They are in the forest... Don’t let the wild wolves eat them... They must be buried in peace...”

Everyone understood immediately.

The two adult bodies just now turned out to be the little girl’s parents.

She dragged them into the forest, probably to bury them.

From time to time, she would lie on the bodies, not to eat, but because she was exhausted and too sad, she would lie on the bodies to rest and twitch.

Look at the clothes on the little girl, the outer layer and the inner layer are all adult clothes, tied tightly.

I’m afraid her parents suddenly encountered a snowstorm, knowing that they could not get out of this wilderness, so they left all their hopes to their daughter.

If the convoy had not happened to pass by, I’m afraid that even if there was no wild beast, the little girl would have been frozen to death in the wild.

Zhang Tian said: “Niu Er, send a few people to watch over the two bodies, don’t let the wild beasts take them away.”

“Yes, Immortal!”

Zhang Tian turned around to comfort the little girl and said: “Don’t worry, I’ll send someone to watch over them, you should take good care of yourself first. "

When the little girl heard this, she couldn't stop crying, and her tears flowed down her cheeks like a silent stream.

"Woo... woo..."

"Don't cry, don't cry, you'll hurt yourself and feel ashamed of your parents' painstaking efforts."

The little girl tried hard to stop crying after hearing this.

But she was too sad to stop crying, and she twitched because she tried to control it.

Zhang Tian quickly patted her back to help her breathe.

At the same time, he waved his hand, signaling Xu Wen to get off the car and leave space for the little girl.

"What's going on? Did the little girl survive?" A group of strong men saw Xu Wen getting off the car and hurriedly surrounded him.
