I pricked up my ears and looked out with half-closed eyes. Outside the door, a dark figure was approaching me, an elderly man, bony, with high cheekbones, sagging sockets, ragged clothes, and bare feet. He looked like a skeleton. A disaster victim?

At this moment, the eyes of the victims emitted a scorching white light. Anyone could tell that they were starving from the look in their eyes … He tried to attack me! He wants to eat me!

I jumped up and looked at him warily. There was no other way. I was a fox now, so it was reasonable for me to be treated as a prey in a disaster area without food! However, that fellow, Mo Yu, relied on his higher cultivation to temporarily seal my spell in order to prevent me from escaping … I'm just an ordinary fox now!

As soon as the man saw me move, he threw himself at me with all his strength, holding up a stick! I took two steps back in shock, but in less than two seconds, I crashed into the barrier with a bang! Oh damn, how could I forget about the rolling thunder! Before this guy left, he gave me a barrier to imprison me …

Although the barrier imprisoned me, it also protected me at the same time … Just as the man was five steps away from me, he crashed into the barrier with a bang! The barrier directly sent him flying to the side, then he fell into a pile of grass … He was shivering and convulsing in the haystack, and his hair was all over the place, and he looked like a hedgehog just like me.

However, his condition was even worse than mine because his body was weak and he wasn't as tough as mine. Thus, after spasming for a while, he stopped moving!

Good heavens, Mu Yu's barrier couldn't have struck someone to death, right?

I was shocked and immediately rushed towards him, but just as I reached the boundary, I was bounced back … Oh, it hurts!

"What should I do? I can't leave the barrier yet, and Mo Yu still hasn't returned. Do I have to watch that person die in front of me?"

I was so anxious that I couldn't think of anything to say. Suddenly, someone ran in from outside the door!

It was a young boy of about a decade, shabby and pathetic, with a broken bowl in his hand. He looked at me warily as he lunged at the man.

Then I heard him wail, "Daddy... "Father, what happened to you …"

I hung my head sadly.

The man was dead, and according to the inspection of Mu Yu, he had not been struck by lightning, but had starved to death. I became more and more sad, because I still had two steamed buns in my hand, but I threw them around like a toy and didn't take them to save people.

Finally, Yu looked at me and said, "I set up the barrier. Even if you wanted to save me, you wouldn't be able to leave."

I knew that he was trying to console me with his words. A man like him, who was like an iceberg, actually came to console me … I was grateful, but my mood did not improve.

The little boy kept crying, and in the end, he had to take out most of our rations from his bag and give them to him, asking if he would come with us.

The little boy shook his head, and said that he still had his mother and sister at home, so he had to stay and take care of them.

Finally, Yu dug a hole in the ground beside the temple and buried his father. After the incident, the little boy left while sobbing and holding the dry food. Only then did we begin to prepare dinner.

At the end of the night, he only managed to get a pheasant, but it took him more time than usual. He said that the disaster in the disaster area was too serious. The wild vegetables and tree bark had all been eaten along the way, and the wild game was naturally even rarer. He gave me all the roasted chicken to eat, and ate his own rations in silence. Looking at the fragrant roasted chicken, I was in a bad mood. For the first time, I lost interest in delicious food.

At night, we took shelter in the ruined temple and went outside to smoke fireflies, while finally Feather wrapped me in his black cloak and lay down, one man and one fox, as usual. The cold moonlight shone down from the roof of the ruined temple. In the middle of the temple, I saw a statue of a Bodhisattva with peeling paint. The Bodhisattva had a sympathetic smile on his face. For the first time I felt a strange sadness for the helpless world.

I tossed and turned, unable to sleep, like a sconce, until finally Feather asked me softly, "What's the matter with you?"

"If only I had a lot to eat."

He asked, "Are you hungry again?"

I shook my head. "I'm not hungry. But that child is very hungry, so this little bit of rations is not even enough for him, his mother, and his little sister! "

Finally, she turned her head to the side and looked at me before nodding. but it's also the only dry food we have left. "

I became even more depressed. "So, what do we do?"

Finally, Yu raised his face and looked at the sky far away. Starlight fell into his eyes, and his dark pupils sank like a vast ocean.

After a while, he said in a low voice, "There is no other way. Although you can give them three days of food, you can't protect them for the rest of their lives … They'll still starve to death in a few days. "

My heart suddenly spasmed as an even more uncomfortable feeling pounced on me! I immediately jumped up. "No!" I'm going to save them! "

This time, I successfully charged through the barrier. In the end, I didn't take out his heavenly thunder to strike me.

I sniffed the little boy and ran outside, searching for his whereabouts, until I was followed not far behind by the chattering feathers.

Finally, I found a house in the dark. It had the smell of a little boy, so this should be his home. However, when I opened the dilapidated door, I was shocked... A few of the victims were beating up the little boy in the house, while his mother and sister were already on the ground!

I don't know where I got the strength to rush forward and beat them into a pulp! Then I pulled the dying boy out of the corner and he looked at me pitifully. "Save my mother and sister, please... "They want to steal my rations …"

Only now did I realize that what he was tightly holding in his embrace was the dry rations that Mu Yu had given to him.

I was stunned... At this moment, the little boy was covered in wounds and blood. It seemed like these rations had caused him to lose his life!

After realizing this, I immediately wanted to kill all of those robbers! The violent anger caused my demonic nature to erupt. If it wasn't for the Curse I used to restrain my demonic powers, I would have overturned the entire room!

However, Mu Yu didn't make things difficult for the victims. He let them go and even bent over to look at the little boy.

The little boy's injuries were very serious, so Mo Yu took out the Golden Sore Medicine from her bosom and helped him to bandage his wounds.

The little boy looked at him eagerly. "Big brother, save my mother and sister …"

"Don't worry, I will save them."

His tone was one of unprecedented gentleness.

The little boy grabbed his sleeve and said with difficulty, "B-but … the food was stolen away …"

Mu Yu then smiled, and told him with a smile, "Don't worry, big brother still has a lot …"

The little boy then also smiled, his eyes flashed a trace of gratification, and my tears were about to fall! Because, Mo Yu already told me to move the little boy's mother and sister outside … They were all dead!

The little boy's injuries were quite severe, and luckily, Mu Yu brought some good medicine with him, and he also spent a lot of mana to treat his injuries. Thus, he finally managed to stabilize himself.

We had to stay with the little boy that night and help him bury his mother and sister.

When the little boy woke up, we talked to him and learned that his name was actually Arlo, and that he had lost everything in one night.

When he realized this, his innocent eyes dimmed, and he became silent. There was the sadness of an adult on his face, as if he had suddenly grown up overnight, or as if something had died in his heart.
