On the first day, it was the old castellan's turn to go out in search of water and food.
However, at the end of the day, the old city owner found nothing.
The next day, it was still the old city lord who went out to search for water and food, but still found nothing.
On the third day, around early morning, Su Xuan discovered that Yuan Xing suddenly developed a high fever due to lack of food and water.
On this day, it was Su Xuan who went out to look for food and water.
"City Lord, Yuan Xing will be handed over to you first." After Su Xuan finished speaking, he walked away step by step.
Not long after Su Xuan left, the old city lord took care of Yuan Xing.
It's just that as time passed, Yuan Xing's high fever didn't get any better.
The old city owner became more and more anxious, and finally, he walked in front of Yuan Xing.
"Ahem, city lord, you can do it." The weak Yuan Xing smiled miserably.
"Yuan Xing... you already knew... I'm sorry..." the old city lord couldn't help but sighed.
"City Master, this is not the time to be impulsive. I am very clear about my physical condition. If it continues, the three of us will die. Before we set off, you told us that a qualified demon hunter must act decisively. Don't act emotionally." Yuan Xing felt that his consciousness was becoming more and more blurred.
He knew that he was not long to live.
Since he didn't live long, he would rather die early so that he wouldn't drag Brother Su down.
The old city lord's eyes were slightly red, he couldn't help but turned his head, raised his hand, and slapped Yuan Xing's Tianling Gai with his palm.
"The city lord!"
There was a roar.
Su Xuan rushed in furiously, he couldn't help but fight with Lao Cheng.
"Brother Su, stop, you two don't argue about me, a dying person. Otherwise, I would rather kill myself than harm you." Yuan Xing closed his eyes in pain.
Why did he want to die, but he was even more unwilling to drag his friends down.
"I will definitely be able to find water and food. Give me another day, and I will definitely be able to. Yuan Xing, the city lord, you must trust me."
Su Mu said excitedly.
In the end, Yuan Xing and the old city owner finally agreed under Su Mu's persuasion.
Perhaps it was Su Mu's persistence that moved the heavens. At noon on the fourth day, Su Mu actually recovered the animal meat and blood. improved.
The three of them supported each other and headed towards the edge of the ruins of Qiulin.
But what Yuan Xing didn't expect was that Su Mu fell ill after his high fever finally passed and his body recovered.
It wasn't until the old city lord and Yuan Xing, regardless of Su Mu's objection, lifted his sleeves and checked his body, that Yuan Xing discovered that Su Mu's arms and body had turned into bloody bones.
When Yuan Xing witnessed that scene, he realized that what he and the old city lord had been eating these days was not animal blood or meat at all, but the flesh and blood that Su Mu had taken from himself.
Su Mu died there before leaving the ruins of Qiulin.
Memories flickered to an end, and endless darkness swept over.
Ye Lingyue and Yun Sheng just got out of Yuan Xing's memory and left.
"..."
After witnessing all this, Ye Lingyue and Yun Sheng were speechless.
Ye Lingyue never thought that Yuan Xing and the old city owner survived by eating the flesh and blood of their companions.
Even Yun Sheng, who had heard the story of the Buddha cutting meat to feed the eagle, was shocked.
Not to mention, the old city lord and Yuan Xing.
No wonder, after the two left the ruins of death alive, they both fell into a state of madness.
Especially Yuan Xing, these years, he may have been sinking into the death of his partner all the time, that's why he left such serious sequelae.
Yuan Xing calmed down after someone dug out the things deep in his memory.
The madness in his eyes was gradually replaced by calm.
"So, I was the one who killed Su Xuan. I have never dared to tell the truth to Grandma Su and Brother Su's children. He took good care of me along the way and treated me like his own brother, but I did everything. What. I actually ate his flesh and drank his blood, I am not human."
Yuan Xing wept bitterly.
After returning to Huangquan City with the old city lord, Yuan Xing couldn't bear the burden, left the city lord's mansion, and gave up becoming a monster hunter.
Every time Yuan Xing thinks of his own life, which was bought by his friend's life, Yuan Xing is in agony.
So over the years, at certain times, Yuan Xing would lose control of his emotions. This time, the incident of the male and female twins brutally killing his companion in front of him further stimulated Yuan Xing, which made him burst out of the backlog. The dark side of the heart.
"Yuan Xing, things are not as you imagined. In fact, neither you nor the old city lord were at fault, and neither of you knew about it. What's more, Su Mu had already planned to sacrifice himself, just because he knew that he had already planned to sacrifice himself." Life is short." After Ye Lingyue said, Yuan Xing raised his head in disbelief.
"What did you say?"
"I just learned about this matter from Grandma Su." After Ye Lingyue finished speaking, she opened the door and invited Grandma Su to enter.
It turned out that during Yuan Xing's treatment, Grandma Su didn't leave because she was worried.
When seeing Grandma Su, Yuan Xing couldn't help but knelt down.
"Grandma, I'm sorry, Brother Su was killed by me."
"Silly boy, it's no wonder you've been depressed all these years. You can't be blamed for that. Mu'er was seriously injured once before arriving in Ancient Jiuzhou. Only thirty years old. That’s why the mother of the two children ran away with someone. Mu’er was afraid that our grandparents and grandchildren would not be able to rely on them in the future, so he secretly went to Gu Jiuzhou without telling us. He just wanted to take advantage of his body. When you can hold on, earn more spirit stones. He met you after he arrived in ancient Jiuzhou, and he kept saying that if he could meet you before he died, he would have no regrets in this life."
As Grandma Su spoke, she burst into tears.
She kept Su Mu's letter.
Over the years, out of selfishness, she never told Yuan Xing the truth of the matter, for fear that Yuan Xing would leave the three of them behind after knowing the truth.
She never imagined that Yuan Xing had been living in guilt for Su Mu's death all these years, and it was even the root cause of his illness.
Yuan Xing and Grandma Su hugged each other and cried.
Seeing this appearance, Ye Lingyue and Yun Sheng quietly walked out of the room.
Just now, when looking at Yuan Xing's memory, Ye Lingyue's heartstrings twitched, and she felt a strange feeling spontaneously.
It seemed that while touching Yuan Xing's memory, she also touched a certain corner of her heart.
