saved!

It was like a dream. The moment before, I was in the midst of a terrifying swarm of insects, with an abyss of hope in sight ahead.

At this moment, when he was about to fall into the abyss, he was held by such a strong and warm hand.

At this moment, Sakura just wanted to hold this hand tightly.

I wanted to stand up and leave with the person in front of me, but as soon as I moved, I felt a tingling sensation in my feet.

"Well...."

Unable to hold back a cry of pain, Sakura, who had just stood up, fell back to the ground.

"what happened?"

Seeing this, Zhao Si squatted down and looked at Xiaoying's ankle.

I saw a bruise and bloodstain on the white and tender calf.

"Just now... when grandpa pushed me down..." Sakura said in a low voice.

"I see. This old man Zang Yan is really abominable."

As he spoke, Zhao Si supported Xiaoying's back with one hand and passed the other hand through Xiaoying's knees, and held her in his arms in a princess hug.

"Um... Big brother..."

It was the first time that Sakura was held in this position by a member of the opposite sex. Her face immediately flushed slightly and she spoke shyly.

"It's okay, it will be quick. Come on, I'll take you out of here first."

Zhao Si thought he had touched the place where Xiaoying was injured, and comforted her gently.

Then, there was a flash of light, and Aomei appeared beside Zhao Si. Zhao Si stood on her and left the Jiantong family.

Chapter 224 Future Vision

A few hours after Zhao Si left.

In the cellar of the Matou family, on the burnt floor.

"click"

With a slight sound, a small crack suddenly appeared on the floor somewhere. Then, accompanied by the faint sound of insect wings flapping, several engraved insects flew out from the gap.

The slightly larger one among them had a face that looked like a human. If Zhao Si was still here, he would definitely be able to tell that this face was the face of the old bug Matou Zouken.

He is still not dead!

Matou Zouken flew around a few times in the spot, and the disgusting insect's eyes revealed a bit of resentment and fear.

This unknown enemy had caused him great trouble, four times already.

The other party has tried to kill him four times, but he still doesn't know the other party's background.

After thinking for a while, Matou Zouken commanded the other few crested insects to fly out of the cellar with him.

Until I figure out the identity of that man, it’s better not to recover my body for the time being.

On the other side, Zhao Si took Sakura Matou back to his family's residence in Fuyuki City.

This is a house with a similar style to the one in Tokyo, and it was also prepared by Zhao Si at the Taoist sect.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhao Si saw Ellie chatting with Claudia.

"A Si, you're back."

The two also saw Zhao Si. Ai Li called out and walked over.

When she got closer, Ai Li discovered that there was a purple-haired girl in Zhao Si's arms.

The other person seemed a little shy, grabbing Zhao Si's clothes and looking at him quietly.

"This child is..."

Ai Li looked at Xiaoying who was held in Zhao Si's arms and asked curiously.

"This is one of the daughters of the Tohsaka family, and she is also the reason why I have been running out all this time." Zhao Si said.

"The Tohsaka family?"

Ellie said in surprise. As a former member of the Einzbern family and a key figure in the Holy Grail War, Ellie certainly knew about the three major families involved in the Holy Grail War.

The Tōsaka family, the Matou family, and the Einzbern family are the three families that jointly organized the Holy Grail War.

This girl turned out to be the daughter of the Tohsaka family? But how did she come back with her husband?

Having experienced many things before, Ai Li has come to understand that every time her husband brings a girl home from a trip, there is basically something special about her.

Fujino possesses the Mystic Eye, and she's already trying to harness its power. The Amber and Jade sisters also possess very special physiques. Kallen, thanks to Claudia, seems to be starting to show some unique qualities as well.

Needless to say, Sha Tiao Ai Ge's talent was exceptionally strong, and the word "genius" could no longer be used to describe her. (Zhao Si did not tell Aili Ai Ge about the origin of the connection.)

Besides that, most of these girls have had bad experiences.

Thinking of this, Ai Li looked at Sakura Matou, who seemed to have experienced something and was still in an extremely sensitive state.

Isn't this child the same?

"Yes, the Tohsaka family, but now it's the Matou family. I'll tell you the details later. You should recover her first."

Zhao Si said, looking at Matou Sakura, comforting her:

"Xiaoying, can you let big sister take a look at your leg injury?"

"Well..."

Matou Sakura tightened her grip on Zhao Si's clothes and looked up at him with some uneasiness.

Zhao Si returned a comforting look.

After a while, a hint of hesitation flashed across Sakura Matou's face, and she nodded.

"Good boy."

Zhao Si rubbed her hair and then handed her to Ai Li.

Ellie took Sakura in her arms and felt the girl's body tense up instantly. She couldn't help but soothe her softly.

"It's okay, sister won't hurt you."

As she spoke, Airi looked Sakura's body up and down and noticed the injury on her foot.

"Is this right here?"

Ai Li looked at the wound, stretched out her slender hand, and a faint green light emerged, wrapping Sakura's foot in it.

""

A comfortable feeling came from her feet. Sakura closed her eyes and her tense body slowly relaxed.

After a while, Ai Li let go of her hand, and Sakura's foot injury had mostly recovered.

"Next, just let her rest for a while." Ai Li said, but found that Sakura had closed her eyes and was breathing evenly.

After experiencing such a terrifying thing, Sakura was extremely nervous. Now that she was relaxed, she finally couldn't hold on and fell into a deep sleep.

It seems that this child has just experienced something bad.

Ai Li looked at Xiaoying, then looked at Zhao Si.

Zhao Si nodded and quietly made an "OK" gesture.

"Claudia, please take care of this child."

Ellie carried Sakura to Claudia, who was not far away.

Claudia nodded and left with Sakura in her arms.

"Really, dear, our house is almost turning into a kindergarten."

Only Zhao Si and Ai Li were left. Ai Li walked up to Zhao Si, put her hands on her hips, and said coquettishly.

"Isn't this great? It's more lively with more people, and Illya will have more playmates." Zhao Si couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at the little girl attitude that Ai Li deliberately displayed, and took a step forward to hug her in his arms.

This is just the beginning. There are hundreds of thousands of children in Gensokyo. Zhao Si is used to it.

Ai Li was just saying that she actually likes these children very much.

Nestled in Zhao Si's arms, Ai Li asked curiously:

"How did you bring back the daughter of the Tohsaka family?"

"This is not a matter of fact."

As he spoke, Zhao Si told Ai Li everything that Tousaka Tokiomi planned to adopt Sakura to the Matou family, and what Matou Zouken planned to do to Sakura.

Hearing about the horrific transformation methods of the Matou family, even Eri couldn't help but feel creepy and got goosebumps.

At the same time, I also know why Zhao Si brought Sakura Matou back instead of returning her to the Tohsaka family. After all, no matter what, this child probably can no longer trust his father in his heart.

There was a dark silence all around.

In the only remaining light, a purple-haired girl was walking tremblingly in the darkness.

"Father...Mother..."

"Sister...where are you guys?"

"It's so dark here, Sakura is so scared..."

A voice with a hint of crying came out of the girl's mouth, and she walked cautiously in the darkness.

"Well!"

Suddenly, the girl looked somewhere in the darkness, where a tiny rustling sound was heard. The girl immediately ran away like a frightened bird.

After a long while, the girl stopped. She bent her body, supported her hands on her knees, and kept gasping for breath.

"!!!"

Suddenly, the girl's face changed. In the surrounding darkness, the rustling sound rang out again, louder than the previous ones, and more despairing.

The same sound was heard from all directions. The girl wanted to escape, but she couldn't find a direction to escape.

"Wuwu...someone come, save me..."

The girl collapsed on the ground, holding her head in her hands, closing her eyes tightly, and prayed helplessly.

The noise became louder and louder. In addition to the rustling sounds, various sharp hissing sounds were heard in the darkness.

"Someone...save me!!"

Sakura's eyes snapped open and she sat upright in bed, her chest heaving as she gasped violently.

She stared blankly at the front, where there was a white wall, gleaming brightly under the sunlight.

"Where...is...this place?"

Sakura muttered to herself in confusion, still recovering from the nightmare.

After a while, Sakura gradually came back to her senses and recalled everything that happened yesterday.

The sadness and confusion of parting with his father, the uneasiness of going to an unfamiliar environment, the terror and despair that followed, and the relief and gratitude of escaping from the devil's den.

This is my eldest brother's home.

Thinking of this, Sakura hugged the quilt and closed her eyes in peace.

That's great.

"Crack"

Suddenly, there was a sound of a door opening. Sakura was stunned for a moment, then looked towards the door nervously.

The door opened and a petite figure walked in. Seeing Sakura sitting on the bed, hugging the quilt, she was stunned for a moment, then said:

"Hey, you awake?"

A girl with short blond hair, as delicate as a porcelain doll, walked in. She seemed older than Sakura, holding a thick book in her hands. Sakura looked at the girl.

The girl came up to Sakura and looked her over as she looked her over.

After a while, the girl smiled and said, "Matou Sakura?"

"...Yes...I'm Matou...Sakura..." Sakura looked at the girl, nodded, and whispered.

"Sajo Aika." The girl introduced herself.
