There is a pile of hay in the corner of the room, and three people are sitting in the grass, looking nervously at Xiao Yuesheng and his two senior brothers and sisters.
Under the soft candlelight, you can see that the three of them are all children. They are thin and shriveled, with dark complexions. They are covered with a layer of stove ash, making their appearance invisible.
Especially the child guarding the front was pitifully thin, but his eyes were as clear as water, and his dark face made them shine brighter and brighter under the candlelight. They were quite similar to the eyes of his fifth junior sister Liu Qingquan. resemblance.
Their clothes are very old, but not torn. They seem to have been sewn countless times. They are all beggars, but they are much cleaner than ordinary beggars. Although their faces are smeared with stove ashes, there is no peculiar smell, only a faint smell of herbs.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough" A hoarse cough sounded, getting more and more violent. The body of a child lying in the hay was trembling, curled up like a lobster, and it seemed that his whole body was coughing, trying to remove the contents of his body. It felt like everything was coughing up, which was really scary.
Her clear eyes didn't care to stare at Xiao Yuesheng and the two of them. She hurriedly turned around and gently caressed her companion who was curled up in a ball. Her water-like eyes showed sadness and compassion.
Another child was lying in the hay, staring at them closely, his cold eyes shining with vigilance and unyielding light, with a hint of warning. He had branches tied to his legs, and he seemed to be recovering from his injuries!
" Xiao Yuesheng sighed secretly. Looking into this child's eyes, one could tell that he had gone through ups and downs and had no hope for the world.
The violent coughing gradually subsided, leaving only the sound of heavy breathing. The child seemed to have been drained of all his energy, and he lay limp in the hay.
Lin Xiaoqing felt pity in her heart and was about to step forward, but Xiao Yuesheng held her hand and signaled with her eyes not to move lightly.
Xiao Yuesheng just nodded with a gentle smile, pulled his junior sister, and said softly: "Let's go out and get some firewood and come back!"
Lin Xiaoqing looked at these three poor children and reluctantly followed her senior brother out of the temple.
"Brother, they are so pitiful!" Lin Xiaoqing sighed with unbearable tone.
"Yeah." Xiao Yuesheng responded casually, and walked towards the small woods at the east end without stopping.
"Senior brother¡ª¡ª!" Seeing that his senior brother was so indifferent, Lin Xiaoqing was very angry at his insensitivity. Her voice was louder, but still slurred. Her unique voice was really not suitable for keeping a straight face.
"Okay, yes, they are pitiful!" Xiao Yuesheng hurriedly nodded in response, but kept walking slowly. The weeds were getting thicker and there was no sound when he stepped on them.
"Junior sister, things in the world are unpredictable. Don't just look at the appearance of everything, and don't jump to conclusions. Moreover, it is common to do wrong things with good intentions. You must look at it first before talking!" Xiao Yuesheng's voice was gentle and kind, The words are serious and thoughtful, making it difficult for people to refute and disobey.
"Well" Lin Xiaoqing understood what her senior brother meant, thought for a moment, and nodded later, feeling that what he said made some sense.
The two of them arrived at the grove, where there were a wide range of tree species, including pine, willow, poplar, etc., and dead branches and leaves could be seen everywhere.
Today's weather is not cold at all at night, so there is no need to light a fire to ward off the cold. If you light a fire, it will become unbearably hot. But lighting a fire can keep away some insects and snakes, and burning some mugwort can also repel mosquitoes. .
Although Xiao Yuesheng was not a clean freak, he could not tolerate mess. No matter what kind of work he did, he made sure not to touch his body with a single leaf. He flicked his sleeves and rolled up a bunch of grass branches, and then he kneaded them with both hands to form regular grass. He lifted up the pile with his palms, and the pile of grass seemed to be lifted up by an invisible package. At first glance, it seemed that he was really carrying a bundle of grass, and it was difficult to realize that he was just sucking it into his palm.
Seeing his senior brother¡¯s magical skills, Lin Xiaoqing¡¯s hands itched and she imitated him. She fluttered out her sleeves and the withered grass beneath her feet moved slightly, but it was caused by a gust of breeze and it had nothing to do with her.
"Brother, please bring another bundle, that little grass is not enough!" Lin Xiaoqing said in a sweet voice when she saw that he wanted to go back.
"Okay!" Xiao Yuesheng can naturally comply with this trivial matter.
The two returned, and Lin Xiaoqing took off a long baggage from the horse's back, which contained a carpet.
When Lin Xiaoqing walked in the martial arts world, she never brought so many things with her. It was too much trouble. When she slept in the wild at night, she just meditated and rested. However, this senior brother was a person who paid attention to comfort and enjoyment, so he had to buy a carpet and get some grass at night. It is comfortable to sit or lie on under the carpet, and now she can enjoy it too.
When they entered the temple, the three children looked at them without saying a word. They just stared at them and were on guard.
Close the temple door and light a fire. Although it is not cold at this time, it warms people's hearts and drives away the loneliness at night.
Sitting with her legs sideways on a thick, soft and comfortable carpet covered with hay, Lin XiaoQing's clear eyes passed through the crackling fire and said to the three people in the west corner of the room: "Little girl, what's wrong with that little brother?"
Her voice is soft and delicate, and her eyes are full of love.
She was originally a well-rounded and clever person, but she couldn't show it off in front of Xiao Yuesheng, so she could tell at a glance that she was a little girl.
"He's sick!" The little girl with clear eyes said, her voice was crisp and slightly hoarse.
Her expression was much softer than that of the cold-eyed companion next to her. She may have sensed Lin Xiaoqing's kindness, and there was a faint and pitiful grace between her eyebrows.
Lin Xiaoqing was waiting to ask more questions, but suddenly she stopped talking and looked outside the door. She heard someone coming and their footsteps were very light.
"Sister, eldest sister!" Soon, a child's voice shouted outside the temple, and then the temple door was pushed open, and two short children walked in.
Suddenly seeing Xiao Yuesheng and Lin Xiaoqing, the two children were stunned, stopped their voices, looked at the west corner with their flexible eyes, then looked at the stranger opposite, smiled at them, ignored them, and ran away. Arriving at the west corner haystack.
These two children have yellowish complexions and are malnourished, but their facial features are quite delicate, especially their eyes, which are full of aura and look extremely smart.
However, both of them had bruises on their noses and swollen faces at this time. They seemed to have experienced a fight, but they didn't care. When they saw Xiao Yuesheng and Lin Xiaoqing, they were not afraid. They looked like they had a lot of experience. One of them was casual and the other was calm, which made Xiao Yuesheng look at them. I couldn't help but secretly praise it.
"Hehe, sister, we are in luck, I got a big bun!" The careless child carefully took out a snow-white bun from his arms and waved it proudly in front of everyone.
"Are you going to steal it?" When the girl saw their appearance, she knew what was going on. There was only one shop selling these big buns in the city, and the shopkeeper of that shop was a tough guy and would never give them away.
The child hurriedly cried out: "Sister, you are really unjust! We went to pick up some firewood today, went to Cuiyun Tower to sell the money, and then bought it!"
"Hmph, you, please don't steal anything, otherwise, we will starve to death and we won't eat!" The little girl snorted, her voice was stern, and she looked like a big sister.
"I know, I know!" He reluctantly agreed and handed the bun over.
"Sister, don't worry, I'm watching him!" The quiet child said and smiled.
A steamed bun was divided into five portions, and each person could only get a mouthful. The buns were bigger for those who were coughing and unable to move while she was the smallest, with only half a mouthful.
Lin Xiaoqing felt sad. She glanced back at the dry food in the package and wanted to take it out for them, but Xiao Yuesheng stopped her with a look.
The five people ate with gusto, chewing endlessly, their brows were full of satisfaction, and their faces were full of intoxication, as if they had eaten a delicious delicacy.
Xiao Yuesheng took out a book from his arms, lit it up by the light of the fire, and read it carelessly. His skill in making buns was really not good, so even if he paid for it, he would not be able to swallow it.
They did not shy away from Xiao Yuesheng and Lin Xiaoqing. They had nothing to worry about. Who would care about a group of beggars? !
The temple door was pushed open again. Xiao Yuesheng couldn't help but sigh. It was a coincidence. The location of this temple was quite remote, otherwise the incense would not have been cut off. However, two groups of people came in one night. It should not be common.
?????????????????????????????????????????????Two men walked in, with rough faces and gleaming leopard eyes, dressed in brocade clothes, tall and majestic, both wearing long knives, and with a strong demeanor.
"Haha, there is indeed someone!" The two of them pushed the door open and walked in. The taller man laughed loudly, as if there was no one there, and his voice was loud and ear-splitting.
Lin Xiaoqing, who wanted to talk to the little beggars, frowned, looked at them with some displeasure, and glared angrily.
She has taken off her veil at this time, and her charming face is even more charming and charming under the soft firelight, which is touching.
Xiao Yuesheng has an ordinary appearance, but also has a magical mind, which is deeply rooted in the essence of Taoism. He looks simple and unpretentious, and it is impossible to tell that he is a martial arts man. At this time, he is holding a book and looking at it under the firelight. His style is even more unconventional. Like a martial artist.
When the two of them saw Lin Xiaoqing's face, their eyes suddenly lit up and their sparkles shone, which was quite awe-inspiring, showing their impressive internal strength.
"This heroine, my two brothers are interrupting me." Another slightly shorter person hurriedly grabbed his companion, cupped his fists and laughed, looking quite polite.
"Please." Lin Xiaoqing said two words lightly, then turned around and faced her senior brothers. She didn't want to pay attention to them. Looking at their dirty eyes, they didn't look like good people.
The two people¡¯s gazes were like blades, slowly passing over Xiao Yuesheng, as if they wanted to see through.He was staring at the book at this time, turning a blind eye to everything around him. He looked like a nerd, which made Lin Xiaoqing beside him laugh secretly.
Although he saw that there was a long sword beside him, he did not have the characteristics of martial arts, so he felt relieved and sat across from the two people casually across the fire. His two pairs of eyes looked at Lin Xiaoqing with burning eyes.
"Cough!" Xiao Yuesheng coughed slightly, put down the book, and looked at the two of them, his eyes were gentle and calm, calm and calm.
He didn¡¯t want to pay attention to these two people, but they were too bold and looked at his junior sister, which was a bit rude, and he would not tolerate it.
The two tough men opposite them felt as if they had been seen through at a glance, and the secrets in their hearts had been revealed, which was extremely uncomfortable.
Both of them came through the martial arts, and they were not the reckless boy who had been a fledgling. Seeing Xiao Yuesheng's calm appearance, he had a little alert.
"You two heroes don't know Gao's name?" Xiao Yuesheng cupped his hands and asked with a faint smile on his face.
"Cough cough, cough cough, cough cough cough" The two people were about to reply when a series of violent coughs sounded again, as if they could cough to death.
It was the boy in the hay in the west corner of the house. He coughed like this, and even hearing it made him feel uncomfortable and intolerable.
"Shut up, I!" A shout suddenly sounded, suppressing the cough. The slightly taller man opened his eyes wide and shouted fiercely at the children: "Isn't this the tuberculosis disease?"
"No, he is injured!" The little girl shook her head and answered in a calm manner.
The few little boys next to them all became very well-behaved and nodded together. They knew how to look at people. As soon as they saw them, they knew that they were not good men and women, so it was better not to offend them.
"Haha Second brother, how could he get tuberculosis at such a young age?!" The slightly shorter man glanced at Lin Xiaoqing and saw her frowning slightly, with a hint of anger, which was even more touching. Pull the people around you.
"Oh, that's true, but this cough is really annoying." The man nodded suddenly, and suddenly pointed at them: "Hey, you guys, get out of here right now, don't be annoying here!"
"Why?!" Finally a child couldn't help it and screamed, it was the child who was recovering from his broken leg, with an unyielding light shining in his eyes.
"Hey, why?!" The tall, strong man chuckled and looked at the few people with some disdain. His expression suddenly changed, as cold as ice, as if he could scrape off a layer of ice chips: "Killing you is like killing a chicken. , and why?!You idiot, get out!"
His voice became deep and deep, with a deep murderous intent, which was really scary. The children across from him felt that his gaze was like a sword.
"Hmph, so domineering and majestic!" Lin Xiaoqing couldn't stand it any longer and snorted coldly, not knowing the sarcasm.
"It's really a good idea to bully these helpless people!" Lin Xiaoqing stared at them coldly, not politely.
The look of disdain on their charming faces made the two men suddenly change their expressions, their dazzles flashed, and they glared at Lin Xiaoqing fiercely.
"Why, you want to bully a weak woman like me again?" Lin Xiaoqing was not afraid at all. With the senior brother here, they were just clowns, and they were not forgiving: "They are just showing off their power in front of children and women!"
She already had great sympathy for these little beggars, but she didn't realize that some people were so hard-hearted. Not only did they not sympathize with them, but they bullied them. They were really worse than animals! I wouldn't be polite to such a person.
