Chapter 1044 Thorn

I saw a large number of people temporarily resettled near the Steel Fortress...

After the disaster, they must need comfort at this moment, right?

Ren Jie took a deep breath, put on a not too ugly expression, and walked over...

On a piece of concrete ruins, a little girl wearing a pink skirt, pigtails, and holding a rabbit doll in her arms was crying hoarsely with her mouth wide open.

Pearl-like tears ran down the dirty little face and dripped to the ground.

"Dad~ Come back! Come back... I promised to celebrate Feifei's birthday with Feifei, ugh~ you don't want Feifei anymore? Wow..."

The girl's cry was so loud that it echoed above people's heads.

Looking at this scene, no one spoke, everyone just clenched their fists, pursed their lips, and their eyes turned red...

She is not the only one who has lost her family?

Ren Jie wiped his face, walked silently to the little girl, squatted down, and forced a smile.

"Feifei~ Let's stop crying, okay? Now~ I'll give you some candy..."

While talking, Ren Jie took out a lollipop from his pocket and handed it to the little girl like magic.

"Dad didn't want Feifei, he just went to a place far away. He has been watching you. One day, dad will come back to find Feifei..."

"So during the time when dad is away, Feifei needs to be strong and grow up happily, okay?"

Ren Jie was telling her the fact that her father had left in the gentlest way possible.

But the little girl looked at Ren Jie with resentment, raised her hand and knocked the lollipop out of Ren Jie's hand, clenched her fists, and shouted angrily at Ren Jie:

"Who wants your broken candy? Dad died and was eaten by the big bug. I saw it with my own eyes!"

"He will never come back again, stop being hypocritical, I don't want candy! I just want daddy, wow~"

The little girl cried louder, punching and kicking Ren Jie like crazy, hitting Ren Jie's head with the rabbit doll, and her tears kept falling...

"Those bad people said that it was because of you that all this happened. If it weren't for you, my father would not have left me, and he would not have been eaten by big bugs!"

"You bad guy, you devil! Damn devil! Wow~ give me my father back, give me back!"

The little girl's words were like a knife, piercing into Ren Jie's heart.

At this moment, Ren Jie's expression was almost broken, his eyes were red, his lips were trembling slightly, he tried not to cry, and held the little girl in his arms in the most gentle way.

His eyes were extremely complicated, the corners of his mouth were tight, and his voice was trembling uncontrollably:

"I'm sorry...ah...I'm not a devil, brother...I didn't mean it..."

"I'm sorry...I'm really sorry, I..."

Ren Jie couldn't say a word. In the world of little girls, there are no other curse words. Calling others a devil is already a level of disgust...

She doesn't understand the general trend of the world. She only knows that because of the man in front of her, her father was eaten by a big insect...

And Ren Jie never thought that one day, the person he was guarding would call him a devil...

The little girl cried heartbreakingly and kept struggling: "Let me go! Let me go! You devil, Feifei hates you the most..."

"Give me back my father, give me back... ugh..."

She closed her eyes tightly and bit Ren Jie's arm hard.

Ren Jie lowered the strength of his arms, biting into the flesh with his small teeth, and blood flowed out from the corners of his lips...

The pain caused by this injury is more painful than all the injuries Ren Jie has suffered so far...

At this moment, looking at Ren Jie's side face, Jiang Jiuli's heart almost broke. Did he do something wrong?

He really didn't. Everything Ren Jie did was to make the human race better and Daxia become stronger so that they no longer have to be oppressed by foreign races...

Jiang Jiuli could feel the grievance in Ren Jie's heart at this moment. The little girl's words were like a knife, cutting Ren Jie's heart into pieces.

And this thorn will always be stuck in his heart, and he may not be able to pull it out in this life.

Lu Chen looked at this scene and opened his mouth, but he couldn't say even a single word. He felt worthless for Ren Jie and felt angry. He turned around and punched the insect corpse hard, but he pulled it back halfway...

He was afraid of scaring the people, but at this moment, Lu Chen felt so aggrieved that he wanted to die!

Mo Wanrou gritted her teeth and tears rolled in her eyes. Mei Qian looked at Ren Jie and kept wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes. He had never seen Brother Jie so sad and embarrassed...

Even when faced with a powerful situation, Brother Jie was never afraid...

But this time...it's not because of the enemy...

But because of a little girl...

Tao Yaoyao couldn't bear it anymore. He couldn't bear to see Ren Jie suffer any injustice. He clenched his fists, stared and said angrily:

"Why do you say that about my brother! He is not a devil! Not at all!"

"He doesn't want this either? He worked hard outside, experienced countless lives and deaths, and almost couldn't come back many times? Why did he work so hard to become stronger?"

"But...he is going to be called a devil now, ugh~"

Tao Yaoyao's tears couldn't stop falling. Her roar frightened the little girl, and she cried even louder...

I saw a middle-aged woman rush out of the crowd in a panic, and took Feifei out of Ren Jie's arms with apologetic eyes.

"Yes... I'm sorry? I didn't keep an eye on the child. The child is too young and doesn't know that much. Don't worry about what I said..."

"The child's father is gone. Feifei said that because she was too sad. I...I...wu..."

The mother who had been holding on until now could no longer hold on anymore. She hugged Feifei, squatted on the ground, buried her head in her child's arms, and cried bitterly...

The silence in the venue was terrifying. Many people lowered their heads and pursed their lips. From the crowd, bursts of faint crying could be heard...

How many of the remaining people have lost their loved ones?

Shen Ci's eyes were complicated, and he looked at Ren Jie apologetically: "Child... don't take it to heart, no one will blame you. If it weren't for you, Jincheng might not have been able to save it, let alone save so many people. …”

"You've really done a good job..."

Ren Jie stood up in silence, and the crowd remained silent. Ren Jie could feel a huge amount of emotional fog pouring into the Jinghu space at all times.

In these emotional fogs, there is gratitude, but also hatred, boredom, and resentment. All kinds of emotions are intertwined and suppressed in the bottom of my heart...

Really...isn't it strange?

Standing here, Ren Jie felt suffocated. Those eyes and various emotions made him breathless.

Ren Jie silently put down his cuffs to cover the small tooth marks, picked up the lollipop from the ground, and stuffed it into his mother's pocket...

Then he squeezed out a smile: "You guys are busy... I'll go to the city to see if there are any monsters I missed..."

As he spoke, Ren Jie turned around and left, walking towards the ruins of the city.

His back was lonely and slender, seeming to merge with the ruins, just like his heart at this moment, a mess...

Jiang Jiuli's eyes were red and he was about to chase after him. Tao Yaoyao opened her mouth and wanted to call Ren Jie.

But Yuntian Yao suddenly appeared, held their shoulders, and gently shook his head.
