Chapter 91 Is life always so painful?

The distance between the two is only three meters, and a single forward lunge can severely injure each other.

The robber arrived in front of the little girl in an instant. The kunai in his hand was already close to the little girl's bare belly, and blood would be splattered on the spot the next moment.

There was no trace of the person who had just begged for mercy. His face was already a ferocious look, but the little girl seemed to have not yet reacted, and her eyes were still full of astonishment.

The kunai pierced the body without any accident, but the imagined scene of blood splattering did not happen, and the little girl was not knocked down by him.

The little brother only felt his eyes blur, and the next moment he bumped into a tall figure, and the kunai in his hand could no longer move forward.

“Hesitation leads to defeat, indecision leads to death.”

The person coming was none other than Orochimaru. He blocked the little girl at the critical moment, so the attack from behind would naturally work on him.

Looking at the little girl who was still in shock, Orochimaru waved his hand without looking back, and the head of the robber behind him was rotated 360 degrees by him.

"You...who are you?"

Looking at Orochimaru who suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, the little girl took a few steps back in fright. Before she could react from the panic, she was startled by the sudden appearance of a living person.

Anyone else would have thought he had seen a ghost in broad daylight, let alone a little girl.

"I'm very interested in your abilities!"

Orochimaru leaned down and looked at the bewildered little girl, and said with a gentle expression.

The little girl still looked at Orochimaru defensively after hearing the same words as in the original work.

"I'm Orochimaru. I was passing by and saw this scene."

At this time, the little girl realized that the ninja who had just attacked her had made no sound, and she immediately reacted.

"I...my name is Guren."

Guren spoke timidly, her tone full of unconfidence, and she put her hands on her chest. At this moment, she showed what a little girl should look like.

"Camellia, you like it very much, right? Here it is for you!"

Orochimaru took out a bouquet of camellias from nowhere and handed it to Guren, which made Guren, who already liked camellias, shine.

Orochimaru didn't know if Camellia understood white roses, but he knew that Guren must like them.

As expected, Guren's expression gradually relaxed after seeing the camellia, and at the same time he unknowingly took the camellia from Orochimaru's hand.

"Young man, there is no child that I, Orochimaru, can't abduct!"

Orochimaru's smile became even stronger, and he couldn't help but rub Guren's little head with his palms.

"How do you know I like camellias?"

Guren happily sniffed the camellia in her hand and looked at Orochimaru with a confused expression.

"Because you're just as beautiful as them!"

Hearing this, Guren's eyes widened suddenly, and a blush appeared on her cheeks the next moment. The little girl who was new to the world still couldn't withstand the sugar-coated bullets of Orochimaru, a scumbag!

"Won't you tell me what happened?"

Orochimaru changed the topic, looked at the sky-high scene around him, and asked.

The only remaining thatched house had been destroyed by the fire, and the flames were spreading towards the forest.

"Ah! There's a fire."

After reacting, Honglian ran towards the place where the fire was burning, apparently intending to put out the fire.

Orochimaru simply used water escape to extinguish all the surrounding flames.

"Okay! Can we talk about it?"

Seeing the fire put out, Guren was relieved and looked at Orochimaru again.

"They are all robbers..."

As she narrated, Orochimaru understood the cause and effect.

It turns out that the three of them are thieves who often haunt the neighborhood. Honglian was staying at home well, but unexpectedly three people broke in and intended to do evil to her.

Honglian naturally would not sit still and wait for death. After running out of the house, the few people found no property in the room, so they became angry and set the house on fire.

Later, the idea came to her, and the next scene was what Orochimaru saw.

He easily killed two people, but in the end he almost got hit because of his soft heart. Fortunately, Orochimaru arrived in time, otherwise he would have been seriously injured even if he didn't die.

"It's true that evildoers emerge from troubled times!"

Heroes will be created in wars, and naturally there will be people who will find it hard to make money for the country, and some people will take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble. These are all inevitable effects of war.

"Senior Orochimaru, what did you say?"

Guren looked at Orochimaru with a confused look on his face. Although he suffered from the war, his childish expression was endearing.

"Guren, where is your family?"

When she heard the mention of her family, Guren's eyes, which were already in a low mood, dimmed instantly.

"They...all passed away!"

Honglian said in a low voice that she was raised by her mother, and her mother who loved her the most also died of a serious illness not long ago.

"Is life always this painful? Or is it only like this when you're a kid?"

Looking at Honglian's somewhat numb face, he thought that he had experienced a lot of hardships over the years.

"Always!"

The reality is cruel, but we have to face it. This answer once again dispelled the light that appeared in Honglian's eyes.

"Will you follow me?"

Orochimaru rubbed her little head and said softly, the fateful encounter was fate after all.

"Lord Orochimaru, can I...?"

Feeling the gentle caress on her head, it had been a long time since her mother had passed away and she hadn't felt cared for or recognized by anyone.

"If you follow me, you won't be hungry again. No one will dare to bully you. You won't have to live a homeless life anymore. I need you to build a strong country with me!"

Saying that, Orochimaru knelt down and looked at Guren again. It must be said that Guren had a precocious face. When she appeared in the future, she would already look like a royal sister. Who could guess her age?

"Then will you come with me?"

The invitation was extended again, and this time Honglian did not hesitate and nodded.

"Standing a foothold in the current world has been extremely difficult, and trying to get ahead is probably even harder than reaching the sky!"

Orochimaru wiped the dirt on Guren's cheek, like a gentle little brother.

"But as long as we are like-minded, no matter how hard we go through, the sun will shine one day!"

At this moment, Orochimaru turned into a life mentor and took out all the ink in his stomach.

The effect was indeed good. In Guren's eyes, Orochimaru seemed to be her guiding light. The confusion during this period was swept away, and her eyes gradually became firm.

It was also at this time that a "gurgling" sound sounded, breaking the atmosphere between the two of them, and it turned out to be Honglian's belly protesting.

"Let's go, leave here and find a place to fill your stomach first!"

Orochimaru put a hand on Guren's shoulder, and the next moment the two of them jumped into the air.

"Ah...what's going on? Why am I flying?"

Honglian looked at her uncontrollable body at a loss, feeling panicked in her heart. She was obviously frightened.

"Don't panic, it's just a matter of floating."

Seeing this scene, Orochimaru also laughed dumbly. Anyone who flew into the sky for the first time would be at a loss.

Knowing that it was Orochimaru's handiwork, Guren felt relieved, but there was a hint of admiration in his eyes. He was hugging a thick leg!
