Male supporting role is not a stepping stone

Lian Xiujie didn't understand why Brother Yan did this. He saved his life. If he wanted to take it back, he only needed to say one word and he could immediately commit suicide in front of him.

But he took advantage of his trust in him and attacked him quietly. He felt a strong sense of being deceived and betrayed.

He just wanted to ask the reason, but the man didn't even give him this opportunity. No one answered him even if he shouted at the top of his lungs.

He didn't know how long it had been. Lian Xiujie's consciousness gradually became hazy, and his past memories began to fade slowly until they turned into nothingness.

But he didn't even have the ability to stop it, and could only watch and feel it.

"Xiao Li, why are you standing there like an idiot?" A huge hand suddenly slapped a boy's back, and the boy staggered without any defense.

He stood up quickly and looked back, and saw a middle-aged man with a full beard, who was looking at him impatiently: "The whole team is waiting for you, why don't you hurry up and gather?"

He waved his fist as big as a casserole and threatened, "If you delay the leader's important event and make everyone unable to get the Dragon Essence Tiger Pill, I will beat you up first!"

After hearing what he said, Xiao Li suddenly remembered that today was the day to attack the Lion Gang. A small sect dared to refuse the recruitment of the Red Flame Sect. When the left protector learned about it, he sent their Xingluo Hall to destroy the people.

After joining the Red Flame Sect for so long, Xiao Li was on a mission for the first time. He was immediately excited and shouted loudly: "I'll go right away!"

After saying that, he ran to the hall first, and the middle-aged man followed him cursing.

The Lion Gang was located on a small hill not far from Gushan, and the group arrived in less than half a day.

Looking at the peaceful little village in front of him, Xiao Li hadn't reacted yet, but the brothers around him had already shouted "Kill——" and rushed in.

This was his first time to participate in the fight in the martial arts world. He was instantly excited and shouted blindly, holding his knife and rushing with the crowd.

Although Xiao Li was a rookie, the others were all skilled workers with strong martial arts. The name of the Lion Gang was very impressive, but in fact it was just a small gang.

There were only twenty or so people in the whole gang, and their martial arts were not very good. As soon as the two sides fought hand-to-hand, they were beaten back by the people of the Red Flame Cult. It didn't take long for all the resistance forces to be wiped out.

Xiao Li and his two brothers worked together to kill one. Although they were a little scared, they were more excited. It turned out that this was the martial arts world, which really made people excited!

He learned from a senior to blow the blood off the knife, but he didn't master the trick and blew a few drops on his clothes.

While he was feeling frustrated, the people who went to the backyard to search came out in a group, and suddenly there was a loud cry. It turned out to be a group of women and children.

Before Xiao Li understood what was happening in front of him, the middle-aged man next to him who had called him before had already turned his face away reluctantly.

At this time, the leader of Xingluo Hall gave a cold order: "Kill them all, don't leave a single one."

Xiao Li's face turned pale instantly, and there was a baby in the cradle among them!

Some people had already drawn their weapons and walked towards those people who were crying helplessly. He subconsciously wanted to step forward to stop them, but he had only taken half a step when the middle-aged man quickly covered his mouth and held him down.

"Are you going to die?" The middle-aged man lowered his voice and scolded him in his ear, "This is the order of the leader!"

Xiao Li's eyes widened in shock, and after removing his hand from his mouth, he whispered: "But, but there is a child in there."

"Take care of your own life first!" The middle-aged man looked at him with a complicated expression and ignored him.

At this time, the people in front had already started to fight. First, an old woman was stabbed to death, and then the old and young women fell one after another.

The children who were blocked by their bodies were soon exposed, and none of them escaped the fate of being slaughtered.

The cries and desperate shouts were heard. Xiao Li watched numbly, looking back and around, and found that several people also showed reluctance, but they were like him and did nothing in the end.

This one-sided massacre did not last long. All the women and children had no martial arts and were quickly killed, but for him it was as long as a lifetime.

"Islam!" The hall master said indifferently and left first.

Xiao Li suddenly came back to his senses and found that his whole body was like being fished out of the water, and was already soaked with sweat.

He dragged his heavy legs woodenly and planned to leave with the others, but was suddenly stopped by the captain: "You, and you, you guys stay and set fire to this place!"

Thinking of facing those bloody corpses, Xiao Li shuddered, but he had no courage to resist, so he could only obey the order and stay.

The large group of people left quickly, and several young people looked at each other for a moment. One of them began to drag the corpses. With the leader, the others followed suit.

Xiao Li resisted the discomfort in his heart and dragged the corpses that still had residual warmth together with them. Looking at the small hill in front of him, he began to doubt whether it was right or wrong for him to yearn for the rivers and lakes.

"You," the leader pointed at him and said, "Go to the backyard and move some firewood."

He pointed at others and arranged them to work.

Some people were dissatisfied. They were all newcomers. Why should they listen to his command?

However, Xiao Li had no intention of resisting. Amid their quarrel, he walked towards the woodshed in a trance.

But when he moved a bundle of firewood, he unexpectedly found a child curled up inside. The child was about five or six years old, with tears on his face.

After seeing him, the child's eyes were full of fear, and he opened his mouth to scream.

Xiao Li didn't know what he was thinking at the time, and he rushed up and covered his mouth hard.

After that, it was like a dream. When he came to his senses, he had already run out of the village with the child in his arms.

He looked around in panic, and there was silence all around, and no one chased him.

Xiao Li was a little unbelievable. He managed to escape like this? It turned out that the Red Flame Cult was not as terrible as he imagined.

"Brother, where are you taking me?" Although the child was small, he knew that it was this man who saved him, and asked obediently in his arms.

Xiao Li didn't know where to go for a while. His family suffered a disaster and he had nowhere to go, so he joined the Chiyan Sect. After joining the sect, he had been practicing martial arts with the elders in a valley and had never had contact with outsiders.

This was his first time out in two years, but he didn't want to let the frightened child know about it. He just stroked his head and said, "Don't worry, as long as your brother has a bite to eat, you won't starve."

Xiao Li had already made up his mind. The world was not as good as he imagined, and he couldn't do it like the seniors in the sect to attack women and children who had no resistance.

Now he just took this opportunity to leave the Chiyan Sect. As for the kindness of raising him for the past two years, he would definitely return it when he had the chance in the future.

It's a pity that he thought it was beautiful, but he didn't think about it. How could the Chiyan Sect send them out without leaving a backup plan?

The two stayed in the mountains for a night. Because of their martial arts, they killed a rabbit and didn't starve themselves, but after waking up from a sleep, Xiao Li found that something was wrong with him.

His stomach had been aching since the morning. At first, he thought it was because the rabbit was not cooked well, but the child was fine, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

But as time went by, his stomach hurt more and more. After two hours, he couldn't even walk. The pain spread from his stomach to his limbs.

"Brother, brother, what's wrong with you?" The child cried helplessly beside him. Xiao Li opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.

It hurt so much! It was as if there were millions of insects biting him physically, not sparing every inch of flesh and bones. He wanted to raise the knife and kill himself immediately, but he didn't have the strength to move a finger.

He tried his best to signal the child with his eyes to help him get rid of it, but the child, who was only five or six years old, couldn't see his complicated meaning at all, and just hugged him and cried.

Xiao Li endured the pain of being bitten by thousands of insects for a whole day, and finally died of pain. When he died, his eyes were wide open and his face was distorted.

"Haha - you can't catch me, you can't catch me!" A five or six-year-old boy was running in front, jumping and hopping, looking back and making faces while running.

A two or three-year-old girl was chasing behind, and suddenly she accidentally tripped over her left foot and fell flat on her face, and immediately burst into tears.

A young woman in her twenties hurriedly came forward to pick her up, patted her small back and coaxed her, and glared at the boy who knew he had done something wrong and was drooping his head: "Bullying my sister again!"

The little girl also complained with tears: "Brother, you are bad--"

The little boy saw a big bump on his sister's forehead and felt a little regretful, but he said stubbornly: "Who told you to chase me?"

"Brother is bad--" The little girl didn't know how to speak very well, and only knew to repeat this sentence.

"You are the bad one, you are the bad one," the little boy stuck out his tongue at her, "little crybaby, little crybaby--"

"Wow--" The little girl had stopped crying under her mother's comfort, but she burst into tears again after hearing what he said, accusing her with a twitch of her little body, "bad brother--"

"Okay, okay, brother is bad, let's ignore him, okay?" The young woman glared at her son, hugged her daughter and went back to the room while coaxing her, "Come on, mother will get you candy, not brother."

"Candy, candy!" The little girl clapped her hands happily, "Lanlan eats candy, not bad brother!"

She stuck out her tongue and made faces at her brother while clapping.

"Only children crave candy!" The little boy swallowed his saliva and said with a false heart.

The adults in the yard smiled at this scene, and the warm sunshine shone on everyone's faces, making them feel warm for a while.
