Mu Sheng listened silently for a long time, yes, who doesn't want to pursue a better life?

Ah Lian said softly: "One year, I went out with the people of the Beiguo family to buy cloth and silk operas, and I was fortunate to go to Gyeonggi City, which is the most prosperous city I have ever seen, with high-rise buildings and abundant goods, and the people on the street are as beautiful as in the painting." ”

Ah Lian's eyes flickered and she recalled: "At that time, I thought that I could live there for a while, even if I was to die immediately, I would be willing. I don't want to live such a humble life anymore, life is dull and boring, poverty is extreme, why can't I do what I want and live the life I want?"

Ah Lian sighed, and cried again as she spoke: "Sometimes I wonder if it's only when I am a heartless person! Life will not be too irritable!Ah!!h

When Mu Sheng saw Ah Lian's painful appearance, he suddenly recalled that when he was young, the four walls of the family were extremely uncertain about the future, and the helplessness at that time was like this, right? My sister is willing to marry into the Liu family as a concubine, most likely to change the environment of the family, how can this kind of sacrifice be willing by my sister? And at this moment, Ah Lian's family wants Ah Lian to marry, which is nothing more than wanting to change the status quo of the family through her.

Mu Sheng sighed and said, "So it's not that you can't go out at all, but you can't get a foothold outside, right?"

Ah Lian nodded: "The discrimination that we mortals suffer in the outside world exists everywhere, and it is really difficult to take root outside!"

Mu Sheng thought for a while and said, "I have also lived in Gyeonggi City before, and it is true that as you said, it is the world of cultivators, but I think there is always a way for mortals to live there, right?"

Ah Lian pursed her lips: "What can be done? It's nothing more than to do some work that cultivators don't want to do, such as digging dung, building roads, building houses, these hard jobs, cultivators don't want to do it, and the paper talisman villain can't do it, so it's all up to us mortals to do it, according to the people who went out in the village, even so, there is still a separate area in the city to let the mortals live, and the mortals are enclosed in it." ”

When Mu Sheng heard this, it turned out that he had not seen mortals in Gyeonggi City, so he asked, "What you said is all the work done by men, and women have no way to go out?"

Ah Lian's eyes became more and more melancholy: "It is more difficult for women to go out, only a handful of occupations such as embroidery and midwifery are capable, and a lot of work is done in the master's house, and there is no place to talk about being spoiled by the male master, and after the better, it will be accepted as a concubine, and many of them are just playing." ”

Mu Sheng felt desolate in his heart when he heard this, and knew that what Ah Lian said was probably true, so he thought about it and said, "Then have you ever thought about it, if you leave Beiguo Village, how should you gain a foothold outside?"

Ah Lian looked at the snowfall in a daze, and said softly for a long time: "I don't know what I can do......?"

Mu Sheng said silently for a long time: "I don't know how to help you, but maybe I can lead you out of Beiguo Village, if you want!"

Ah Lian withdrew her gaze and looked at Mu Sheng: "What do you mean?"

"Originally, if you were not fourteen years old, you could eat the nine-hole blue lotus root to stimulate the potential in your body, and maybe you could change from a mortal physique to a cultivator, but now that you are fourteen years old, this method is no longer feasible....... ”

Mu Sheng was only halfway through his words when he was interrupted by Ah Lian and asked in surprise: "What, is there such an elixir in the world?

As soon as he finished speaking, the expression on his face immediately darkened again: "It's that I'm thinking too much, even if I really have this nine-hole blue lotus, my family can't afford it!"

"It's ....... Mu Sheng was embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Ah Lian smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry, I interrupted you, big brother, you can continue." ”

Mu Sheng continued: "My brother and I have eaten this nine-hole blue lotus, but the effect doesn't seem to be so good, our spiritual power is here and there, my younger brother is stronger than me, and my spiritual power is even more difficult to find." So the family sent us to Beiguo Village, but I thought, as long as I can recover my spiritual power one day, I can go back, and then I'll take you out with me, nominally as my handmaiden, but I don't care about you anymore what you want to do after you go out, what do you think?"

Regarding the situation of himself and Tantaixin, Mu Sheng told a small lie. Ah Lian's face was full of smiles when she heard this, but it didn't take long for the smile to slowly disappear from her mouth, and she shook her head and said, "Thank you, big brother, it's just that when you recover your spiritual power, I don't know how old it is, maybe I can't wait for that day?"

"No, you must wait until that day, my spiritual power should be able to recover soon, I dare not say that it will be successful in a few months, but there should be no problem in one or two years. Mu Sheng's tone of voice was firm.

Ah Lian smiled softly, her face was still full of melancholy: "Then I want to congratulate you! It's just that even if I go out with you, I still don't know what to do?"

"Don't worry, you just think about it slowly, and you don't have to worry about it in the next day or two, maybe when I recover, you'll think about it?" Mu Sheng comforted.

"You are really comforting, I feel a lot better when you say this, I seem to be beginning to cherish today, looking forward to tomorrow, and if I have hope, I have to fight for it, right?" Ah Lian burst into tears and smiled, and returned to the appearance of sunshine.

"Alright, let's go back, I'll talk to your father again, and see if I can cancel this family business? Mu Sheng looked at the sky outside.

Ah Lian agreed, and walked down the mountain with Mu Sheng. There was no light in the adobe house of Ah Lian's house, but it was very bright, and the whole family sat around a brazier, waiting for Ah Lian's return.

As soon as Ah Lian came back, before she could say anything, Ah Lian's mother rushed over, hugged her tightly into her arms, and patted Ah Lian's back fiercely with those rough hands and cried: "Silly daughter!

Seeing her mother like this, Ah Lian couldn't help but keep tears in her eyes.

"Okay, don't cry, it's good to be back, it's good to be back. Father Ah Lian half-squatted next to the brazier, smoking the dry tobacco pouch in his hand, and said while knocking on the smoking pot.

"Daddy Ah Lian, Brother Ah Hu, Ah Lian is back, but there are some things I need to talk to you about. Mu Sheng said while greeting the two.

Ah Lian pricked up her ears to hear what Mu Sheng and her father and brother would say, but Mu Sheng pulled the two aside and muttered, and Ah Lian only saw the shadow of the three of them arguing fiercely on the snow.
