Seeing that Xia Qing could actually produce flames out of thin air, the woman's glass-like eyes were filled with surprise at this moment.

While Xia Qing was grilling two fish, he spoke to the woman kneeling next to him.

"My name is Xia Qing, and you...?"

After hearing this, the woman tilted her head in a daze, and then answered.

"My name is Kotonoha."

"..."

Xia Qing was stunned for a moment when he heard the name, then nodded.

"What a nice name."

The woman who was praised, Kotonoha, lowered her head in embarrassment, and then said in a mosquito-like voice.

"Thank you for your compliment... Sir Xia Qing's name is also very nice."

"No, I'll forget it."

After waving his hands, Xia Qing asked the key question.

"By the way, why were you chased by Tong Mo before?"

"I……"

As if remembering something, the corners of Kotonoha's eyes couldn't help but become moist, and tears kept falling from her eyes.

Afterwards, she began to talk about her past.

Kotonoha, who is only 18 years old this year, has been without parents since she was a child. She was forced to marry into a family at a very young age. After that, she was beaten by her husband every day and bullied by her mother-in-law. Her face was swollen beyond recognition and she suffered from torture. All accumulated bruises.

However, even so, when the villagers in the village saw that she was bullied by her husband and mother-in-law every day, and her hair was pulled, punched and kicked from time to time, they seemed to be watching the fun.

He even started to entertain how she would be beaten the next day.

After that, Kotonoha, who was only seventeen years old, ran away from home with her children and came to the Paradise Church founded by Tongmo, although her left eye was blinded due to the severe beating. However, after treatment, he recovered as before.

"Well, indeed, as far as Tongmo is concerned, only beautiful women can be welcomed by him."

After all, he is a ghost who only eats women.

But perhaps because he felt the affection between Kotonoha and the child, Tongmo was not in a hurry to eat Kotonoha.

Because Kotonoha is not only beautiful, but also has a very beautiful singing voice, and the song she sings when holding the child is not a nursery rhyme but a song about hooking up and making an oath.

Moreover, the lyrics of "Lagou Swear" are different every time, and sometimes they become civet cat songs in the middle. Because of this, Tongmo became a little interested.

After that, he kept it next to him and did not eat it immediately. However, although Kotonoha's mind was slow, his senses were very sharp.

She soon discovered that Tong Mo was eating believers. At that time, Tong Mo just kept smiling and explained to her, "I eat people to do good deeds and to make them live forever!"

But it was impossible for Kotonoha to believe such "nonsense", so he scolded Tongmo as a liar, and then ran away from the temple.

And Tong Mo did not kill her directly because she ran away, but hung far behind her, as if following a prey that could not escape from her mouth.

"Then what……?"

Xia Qing handed the cooked fish to Kotonoha.

Kotonoha took the grilled fish from Xia Qing and said softly.

"Ah...thank you."

Her pretty face did not become happy, and she continued to talk.

"When I was running away in the forest, I always took the wrong route because I couldn't remember the way I came from..."

At that time, Kotonoha apologized to her child over and over again, saying, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I should be more reliable as a mother."

After getting lost, she couldn't even tell which direction the village was, so she could only focus on one direction and kept running away without looking back.

Chapter 13 Approaching Taoshan (4/5)

After escaping to the edge of the cliff, with no way to escape, she knew that if she continued like this, both of them and the child would be killed.

In that case, the only way she could think of was to throw the child into the river under the cliff. Tongmo, who followed after severely injuring Kotonoha's back, chose to stay fresh. Knock it out.

Then, there was what Xia Qing saw after he went there.

Finally, Xia Qing sighed while eating the fish with a ferocious expression on his face.

"What a rough fate."

But Kotonoha shook her head.

"Although he did help me repair my injuries and took me in, but when he saw those sisters who usually laughed and chatted together being eaten bit by bit by him, and various organs were pulled out of their bodies... so I……"

As if recalling the bloody scene she had seen, Kotonoha covered her heart and retched. Fortunately, she kept talking and did not eat the fish, otherwise she would have vomited it out now.

Xia Qing put his hand on her back. Kotonoha's shoulders couldn't help but trembled at the sudden touch, and then he raised his head in confusion.

"How's it going? Does the injury on your back feel better?"

Xia Qing asked.

Hearing this, Kotonoha nodded, then a blush appeared on her cheeks, as if she felt a little ashamed, she bit her lips and asked hesitantly.

"Then, that...Master Xia Qing...you...have you seen it...?"

If you want to treat the wound on that part, you must take off your clothes, that is to say...

With the image already appearing in his mind, Kotonoha's glazed eyes were filled with mist.

But Xia Qing replied indifferently.

"Ah, no, I turned you over specially, so I only saw the skin on your back."

Moreover, he started in a hurry at that time. Even if he touched some indescribable part, he couldn't remember the feeling clearly.

"..."

Then, Xia Qing continued.

"If you want to go back to look for your child now, I won't stop you. However, even if you return to the original place, your child will have been washed away by the river at this time."

Moreover, the river under the cliff stretched in several directions at that time. If you wanted to find it deliberately, it would take a lot of time, and you might not be able to find it.
