Chapter 418 Little Xiluo is much cuter
During the time when Taoyao was in deep thought,
The adult beggars seemed to have taught the thin girl a lesson they thought was enough.
One of the beggars gave the little girl a final, hard kick.
Then he clapped his hands in satisfaction.
"I will spare your life today."
He said viciously, his tone full of threats.
"Next time you dare to steal our things, you won't be so lucky."
Another beggar echoed.
"That's right, little brat, you'd better remember the lesson today."
They seemed to think they had deterred the little girl enough and could leave now.
Several adult beggars began to turn around and prepare to leave, with smug and satisfied expressions on their faces.
They completely failed to notice the unwilling and angry look in the eyes of the little girl lying on the ground.
However, at this moment, in Taoyao's focused gaze.
Little Shiloh, who looked like he was about to die from being beaten, suddenly found the strength from nowhere.
She took advantage of the moment when the adult beggars relaxed their vigilance and turned around, and quietly took out a rusty dagger from her bosom.
The knife looked worn out and the blade wasn't very sharp.
But driven by desperation, it can still be a deadly weapon.
Little Shiloh used all his strength to stab one of the beggars in the back.
The beggar who was attacked let out a scream of pain, his body shook violently several times, and then he fell to the ground.
Blood quickly stained his tattered clothes, and it looked like his injuries were quite serious.
After seeing this scene, the other beggars were stunned for a moment.
They obviously didn't expect that this seemingly weak and helpless little girl actually had the ability to fight back.
This sudden change shocked and panicked them, and they didn't know how to react for a moment.
However, this state of panic did not last long.
Soon, the remaining beggars calmed down from their initial shock, or rather, stabilized their emotions.
Their expressions became more gloomy and dangerous, and strong murderous intent emerged in their eyes.
"court death!"
One of the beggars roared angrily, his voice full of threats and malice.
"How dare this brat kill our people!"
The other beggar also roared.
"She must pay the price today!"
They no longer had any intention of holding back and were clearly determined to kill.
One of the beggars kicked little Shiloh hard to the ground.
This time the force was even more brutal than before, with a clear sense of revenge.
Little Shiloh rolled on the ground several times after being kicked, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, little Shiloh's face was already full of tears, and the expression of pain and despair made people feel distressed.
While crying helplessly, she stared at these evil people with an extremely tenacious and unyielding look.
Even in such a desperate situation, there was still a fire of unwillingness to surrender burning in her eyes.
Such strong willpower displayed by such a young child is truly shocking and admirable.
But she was too young and too thin.
Being able to kill an adult by sneak attack is already the limit of her ability.
Facing the remaining angry adult beggars, she had no chance of winning at all.
What awaits her next is likely to be brutal torture and death.
And at this most critical moment, Tao Yao, who had been approaching silently, finally took action.
Her movements were as fast as lightning, not giving the beggars any chance to react.
Tao Yao stretched out her hands and grabbed the collars of the remaining two adult beggars.
Then she lifted the two people up like dolls with a seemingly easy but actually powerful movement.
Then, Tao Yao slammed the two heads in his hands together hard.
"boom!"
A dull and chilling crash was heard.
The two beggars' heads collided violently, and the impact was enough to cause serious brain trauma.
Blood instantly gushed out of their heads, staining the surrounding ground red.
The power of this attack is quite astonishing. Even if you don't die, you will most likely become mentally disabled.
The two beggars' bodies immediately collapsed, and they no longer had any ability to resist.
The whole process happened so quickly and cleanly, demonstrating Taoyao's strong strength and decisive action.
The visual impact makes people deeply feel her terrifying and powerfulness.
After dealing with these threats, Tao Yao slowly walked up to the pitiful-looking little Xiluo.
There was a gentle and friendly smile on her face, completely devoid of the cold and dangerous aura from before.
This contrast makes people feel both shocked and reassured, as if the violence just now was just an act of justice to protect the weak.
Taoyao took the initiative to extend her hand, and her gesture seemed very gentle and caring.
"Little cutie, do you want to come with me?"
Her voice sounded warm and had a reassuring charm.
These simple words, filled with gentleness, care and protection, seemed to bring a ray of hope to the little girl who was in desperate situation and almost starving to death.
After Taoyao said these warm words.
Little Shiloh's reaction did not relax immediately as she expected.
The thin girl still remained highly cautious, even alert.
She looked carefully at the pink-haired woman who suddenly appeared in front of her with her tear-stained but still sharp eyes.
Little Shiloh's body retreated slightly, keeping a posture ready to escape at any time.
It seemed that even though Tao Yao had just saved her life, she had survived in this cruel world for so long that she had learned to be basically wary of any stranger.
You should be especially cautious with people who seem too friendly.
Tao Yao was not surprised or dissatisfied when she saw little Xiluo's obvious defensive reaction.
She could understand why a child who had lived on the streets for a long time would react like that.
So Taoyao decided to use a gentler approach to dispel the other party's doubts.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person."
Taoyao tried her best to make her tone sound softer and more credible.
however.
It would have been better if this sentence had not been said, because once it was said it had the completely opposite effect.
After all, most of the time.
Only bad people go out of their way to emphasize that they are not bad people.
After hearing these words, little Xiluo in front of him suddenly became more alert and nervous.
Her body tensed even more, and the wariness in her eyes grew even stronger.
Apparently, in her experience, those who were truly dangerous often used words like these to lull their victims into a state of alertness.
The more someone claims that they are not a bad person, the more likely they are to have bad intentions.
This simple and practical survival wisdom made little Xiluo instinctively doubt Taoyao's words.
She even began to consider whether she should escape immediately before Taoyao took any further action.
Seeing little Xiluo's increasingly alert reaction, Tao Yao felt speechless and at a loss for words for a moment.
She had never expected that her good intentions would be misunderstood to this extent.
It seems that verbal comfort and explanation are of no use in this situation.
After thinking about it, Taoyao decided to express his goodwill through more direct actions.
She bent down and picked up the skinny Shiloh without saying a word.
This sudden action made little Shiloh feel very surprised and flustered.
At the beginning, little Shiloh did show obvious rejection and resistance.
She tried her best to break free from Taoyao's arms, and her little fists kept hitting Taoyao's shoulders and chest.
“Let me go! Let me go!”
Little Shiloh yelled in her young but frightened voice.
"I don't want to go with you!"
however.
Taoyao's embrace was surprisingly warm and safe, without the sense of threat she had imagined.
Moreover, after the fierce conflict just now, little Shiloh's physical strength has been almost exhausted.
After a while, whether because he was too tired or accepted his fate, little Xiluo gradually stopped struggling in vain.
Her body began to relax and she no longer resisted Taoyao's embrace.
To some extent, she even began to enjoy this long-lost warmth and sense of security, as if it was a precious emotion that she rarely experienced in this cold world.
Next, Taoyao took little Xiluo in her arms and left this dirty and poor street.
The surrounding environment gradually changed from a dilapidated slum to a relatively clean town area.
This seems to be a remote town located in the border area. It has a small population but has basic order and management.
Based on the scattered fragments of memory that kept emerging in his mind, Tao Yao quickly found the right direction.
She brought little Shiloh to the base that the Apostolic Order had just established here.
This is a fairly ordinary-looking two-story building, with no obvious difference in appearance from the other buildings around it.
But the interior has been carefully renovated and arranged to meet the various activities of the sect members.
When the other members of the Apostolic Order saw that Taoyao had brought back a dirty little beggar, they all expressed puzzlement and bewilderment.
They exchanged puzzled glances, obviously not quite understanding what was going on.
"Master Taoyao, what happened?"
One of the members asked his companion in a low voice.
"Why did you bring a beggar back?"
Another member also shook his head in confusion.
"I don't know, maybe there's some special reason."
But even though my heart was full of doubts.
However, these members of the sect did not publicly question or oppose Taoyao's decision.
They all treated the little girl as a new member of the sect recruited by Master Taoyao.
Soon, Taoyao instructed the members of the sect to prepare hot water and clean clothes.
She began to clean and tidy up little Shiloh herself so that the poor child could return to normal.
During the entire process of washing and changing clothes, little Shiloh was unusually quiet and cooperative.
She seemed to be completely conquered by the gentleness and patience shown by Taoyao.
The care and love that came from the bottom of her heart was a precious emotion she had never experienced in this cruel world.
When all the cleaning work was completed, the dirty little beggar had completely disappeared.
Instead, there was a cute little girl who looked clean and tidy. Although she was still very thin due to long-term malnutrition, she had a pair of clear eyes.
