Chapter 989: The Mountain God Is Above 16
"Selling yourself to bury your father? How pathetic!"
"This kind of pity is too much."
With a light glance, the people on the street walked away as if nothing had happened.
The sun was shining brightly, it was afternoon, and the breeze was blowing gently. In the restaurant, there were diners feasting on the table full of chicken, duck and fish, and there were people lying everywhere on the corner of the street outside the door, with tattered clothes and weak breath...
Xihe withdrew his gaze, the wine and meat of the rich family stinks, and there are frozen bones on the road.
She picked up the teapot and was about to add a cup to Fu Lu, when she looked up, she saw him staring out the window in a daze, following the line of sight was the girl kneeling in the sun, with straw stuck in her head to sell herself to bury her father.
The girl looked about eleven or twelve years old, with ragged clothes and a sallow face.
She numbly kowtowed to passers-by: "Please, please buy me back. I can cook, I can work, and I don't eat much. Please..." There was a person covered by the straw mat in front of her, revealing Blue feet.
Xihe paused: "You want to help her?"
Fu Lu turned his head slowly, with a faint light in his eyes: "Is it okay?"
He now relies on her for food, clothing, housing and transportation, so he can't be too casual in what he says and does.
Xihe smiled in his eyes: "Of course, Ah Lu, you go and help that girl." Ah Lu immediately got up and went, Fu Lu's eyes suddenly softened, and he looked at her gratefully,
"Thank you, Cheng Ge."
Xihe shook her head: "It should."
Not long after, there was no sign of the girl selling her body to bury her father on the street, and Ah Lu came back soon.
In the evening, a group of people stayed in the inn. After inquiring about the good news, they went to Wen's, a merchant in the city, and Wen's was thriving. As soon as they entered, they saw many children, swarming and playing wildly in the yard.
Xihe explained his purpose, Master Wen repeatedly agreed, and led them to a courtyard in the northwest corner: "Cheng Dong's house, people are inside." Swallowing, "I won't accompany you in."
With the little servant and maid, they fled in a panic, their backs flustered.
Xihe was speechless for a moment, and had no choice but to knock on the door. There were footsteps coming from inside, and then the door opened, revealing a timid little face: "Daddy?"
Xihe walked in: "Are you A Qiao?"
A group of people walked in, and suddenly the door and window were closed with a 'bang'. Xihe subconsciously looked over, only seeing a claw with sharp nails.
The pitch-black sharp claws were as sharp as hounds, and there was a mottled aura that resembled humans and animals in the house.
Her heart skipped a beat, is it really a demon?
They originally came here following the power of the gods, and when they first entered the city, they heard people talking about the strange things about the Wen family, saying that there were thieves who were dying of hunger. So he decided to over the wall and drug the animal to stun it, and then go back to fill his internal organs.
Unexpectedly, the viscera were not filled, but I saw a terrible monster.
The moonlight was clear, and the animal-like thing had green eyes, thick and long fur, and growled at him... The thief was not bad, and fell off the wall in fright.
Afterwards, the rumors became more and more evil. It was only said that the Wen family raised a monster that devoured people and had ulterior motives.
Xihe thought he had nothing to do, so he pretended to be a Taoist priest and came to investigate. When Master Wen heard this, he was overjoyed and brought them here without thinking.
"You, who are you?"
The little girl stared wide-eyed, her face full of vigilance.
Xihe took Fu Lu to the main room: "Let's help you take a look at your brother, A Qiao, you know what happened to your brother...huh?" Looking at the little boy who opened his hands tremblingly blocking the door The girl looked surprised.
The little girl turned pale with fear, but she still stood in front of the door: "No, you are not allowed to hurt brother!"
A deep roar sounded in the room at this moment, and the little girl became even more frightened immediately, her body was on the verge of falling, and with tears in her eyes, she stared at Xihe stubbornly.
Xihe paused, unexpectedly easy to talk: "Okay, I won't go in."
The little girl's tense spirit relaxed,
However, she heard her say in the next second: "Then let this brother go in?"
'elder brother? '
Everyone subconsciously looked over and landed on Fu Lu,
Fulu: "..."
Everyone was embarrassed, looked left and right, it was clearly an old man, right? The little girl was full of doubts, but the roar behind her gradually became smaller, the girl hesitated, stepped aside and said, "Okay."
The door creaked open and closed again with a bang.
Xihe sat down on the stone bench in the yard and looked around.
The small courtyard is disorganized, the bamboo in the corner is dead, a few old clothes are hanging on the rope, half of the kitchen window is burnt, and there is not even a bigger maid.
Ah Lu gave the mung bean cake to the little girl, and the little girl swallowed and hid it in her sleeve.
Ah Lu stuffed the whole box into her bosom, and chatted like a little girl in a homely way. After a while, she understood the situation. Since her brother had an accident two years ago, the servant girl in the yard ran away. They could only Self-reliance.
Master Wen was afraid of monsters, and it was their aunt who saved his brother with all her might.
They were locked up here and were not allowed to go anywhere except to get food.
The little girl rubbed her eyes and burst into tears: "My aunt said that she is going outside to help my brother find a solution, but Ah Qiao misses her so much..."
Xihe guessed that the aunt was probably gone, and this statement was just to comfort the child.
She felt helpless, Master Wen could keep the child alive, at least it showed that he was not the kind of brainless person who would not eat his children. If Fu Lu could solve it, the brother and sister could return to normal life.
After waiting for about half an hour, Fu Lu came out, followed by a child wrapped in black cloth.
Xihe looked puzzled.
Fu Lu said: "I want to take this child back temporarily."
In the main hall of the Wen Mansion, Master Wen's expression changed after hearing this, which was very complicated. He rubbed his hands and said: "Master, my son, what happened? Can it be solved?"
Xihe couldn't help but took a deep look at him: "Master Wen is so sure that the child was just an accident, not a demon?"
Master Wen didn't even think about it, and shook his head firmly: "He is definitely not!"
He remembered the appearance of the child when it was born, naked, kicking his calf and crying loudly, definitely not a monster.
The only blame is that he is incompetent, there are so many gossips in the mansion, and countless people outside the mansion are forcing him to deal with the children, he has no choice but to be ruthless and ignore them, otherwise the two children will never survive.
Xihe laughed: "Master Wen's guess is right, your son is indeed just an accident, not a demon."
The child must have accidentally swallowed the antlers by mistake, hair grew on his body, and his body gradually began to mutate... He told them that they needed to take the child away for a while.
Master Wen heaved a sigh of relief: "It's his blessing to be able to follow Dong Cheng's side."
When the group returned to the inn, Alu took Aqiao who was following him down to wash up, while Xihe propped his chin and looked at the weird-looking child in front of him, with fluffy cheeks, clear eyes, and slightly pointed ears.
His eyes dodged, his face was red, and he looked cute.
She was curious: "Why did this child mutate?"
Failed to adjust the schedule... with the sequelae of insomnia x-on:- x-on:
