Chapter Ninety-Three: June and August

At this time, Lianxi knelt on the ground with a "poof" and said, "The two immortals are doing well, avenge my sister!"

Ling Huqing asked, "Is your sister Lisheng?"

"You put that bamboo skewer in on purpose?", Lianxi also nodded.

"The rumor that the Ghost King kidnapped the Oiran Lady was released by you?"

Lianxi's eyes were already full of surprise.

"And if you can catch the ghost king, you will get 50,000 taels of silver, and you made it up?"

Lianxi was already trembling.

"If you want to avenge your sister, don't play tricks, come from the truth!" Ling Huqing's tone was very stern, and when Lianxi saw such a fairy-like figure, and saw that Murong Feng was respectful to him, he speculated that this person's supernatural powers should not be under Murong Feng, so he told the ins and outs of the matter.

In Langzhou, the drought has left the whole country without vegetation and starvation, and those who are still alive have fled to the neighboring Yueyu country.

The fleeing procession has changed from a huge start to a sparse one, and people fall on the way every day.

"Sister, I'm hungry!" August's little face was scarlet by the scorching sun, and her lips were dry, she sat on the side of the road, and Sister June couldn't coax her to get up.

Their father was originally an official of the Langzhou State, but he was beheaded by the angry emperor because of the letter of ten thousand people, and his mother was also ill, and since then, he has been orphaned in June and August.

June couldn't understand why such a righteous person as his father ended up so miserable. She often heard her father sigh about how smooth the wind and rain were in Langzhou before, and the people were rich and the country was safe. Since the national teacher came, there was a series of droughts, and the emperor was bewitched by the national teacher, and actually asked the people to offer 10 young children every month, which was called "praying for rain".

The children never returned home, and word came out in the palace that they had all stayed in the palace on errands, but only officials like their father knew that these children had all been swallowed by the national teacher.

In the past few years, the national teacher didn't know how many children she had eaten, so no matter how difficult it was, she had to escape with her sister.

June opened the burden on her back and carefully took out the last loaf of bread from it, and she was about to break it in half for her sister, but she was pushed so violently that she fell straight forward, her head hit a stone, the blood on her forehead flowed, and the bread fell to the ground. A man in ragged clothes quickly picked up her bread from the ground, wrapped it tightly in his arms, and ran away in three or two strokes.

"Cang Liao is enough to know etiquette, food and clothing are enough to know honor and disgrace", don't expect people to have a conscience when they are changing children and eating.

"Sister, sister......" August cried and called her, even more frightened at the sight of the blood on her forehead.

"Sister, you should answer me, I'm not hungry in August, sister, get up quickly. ”

Little August was afraid that she would never wake up again, like her mother, and leave her behind, she already knew what death was like at a young age.

June wakes up from a fainting, the blood on her forehead causing flies to revolve around her, and she is about to comfort August, only to find August lying limply on the ground, eyes closed.

"August, August!"

June didn't care about wiping the blood on his head, hugged his sister in his arms, and cried, and the people around him sighed at most: "Poor!", still going forward by himself, in the case that he was still not full, no one would care about two irrelevant children.

August's head leaned softly against June, and said in an inaudible voice, "Sister, I'm hungry ......." ”

June rummaged through her baggage, but found nothing, and she knelt on the side of the road, only two years older than August, kowtowing to those fleeing, the wound on her head broke again, and the blood and dirt gushed out made her face look dirty.

"Grandpa and uncle, aunt and aunt, save my sister, save my sister, she is dying of hunger!"

The fleeing people passed by her, but none of them wanted to stop, and many even quickened their pace in disgust.

"People's hearts are not ancient, people's hearts are like ice", this is the only sentence that little June can think of.

Just when she was about to despair, "Little sister, don't cry", her voice was gentle and clear. Black monk shoes, coarse cloth monk robes, a rather handsome young monk appeared in June's sight, his left hand holding a lotus leaf wrapped in food, and his right hand was a small water bladder.

The monk gently put the things in his hand on the ground, turned around, and soon blended into the flow of people and disappeared, June didn't even have time to say thanks, but the appearance of the young monk was already deeply rooted in her heart. Relying on the food and water given by the little monk, August finally survived, and the sisters followed the flow of people to the capital of Yueyu Kingdom.

They took up residence in a ruined temple on the outskirts of the city. Every day in June, he went out to beg with his sister on his back, sometimes begging for a bowl of porridge, sometimes begging for half a steamed bun, and sometimes he couldn't get anything for a whole day.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the sisters hug each other tightly to keep warm on a snowy night, but the clothes on their bodies are thin, and it is difficult to keep out the cold.

"Sister, I'm cold!" August was shouting cold in his dreams, and June hugged his sister tighter, and gently coaxed: "Sleep in August, you won't be cold when you fall asleep."

But August couldn't sleep well all night, and his body was getting hotter and hotter, and June hurriedly fed the water in the broken crockpot to his sister to drink, but the water flowed down August's mouth, August was hot, and his little face was so thin that it was only the size of a palm, and his face was so pale that there was no trace of blood.

"August!" June shouted anxiously, but August's mouth was tightly closed, and he didn't answer her.

June knows that her sister is infected with the wind and cold, hungry and full of life, August has been weak since she was a child, it would be good if there was medicine, but where can I have the money to buy medicine?

June carried August on his back and walked to the market with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

"August you are holding on, my sister will definitely find a way to cure you", June kept talking to her sister on her back as she walked, she didn't know if her sister could hear it, but she kept talking and talking.

The market after the snow is not as lively as usual, and the rich people either sit in sedan chairs or stay in warm houses and do not come out. June put August off his back, and in the cold wind, August's face became more and more blue, and he saw that the heat was gone.

Tears welled up from June's eyes, forming ice ballasts on her cheeks, and she could only keep August behind her, and kept kowtowing to the sparse people and begging.

People may have seen a lot, during this period of time, the displaced people of Langzhou flocked in, such beggars can be seen everywhere on the street, and some even steal them, and people naturally have no good face for these displaced people.

It's been half a day, and June has found nothing except for a cold and hard steamed bun. August's body is no longer hot, but getting colder and colder. June's throat was hoarse from crying, and she kept kowtowing: "Okay, okay, save my sister!"

A pair of soft and warm hands pulled her up from the ground, and a woman dressed in an unusually beautiful way said with a smile in her eyes: "Little sister, is it okay to go back with my sister, I will find a doctor to treat your sister." ”

June looked at the well-maintained face that couldn't tell her age, she froze, and then nodded violently, "Really, as long as you save my sister, I will repay your kindness even if I am a cow and a horse!"

"Hahaha, little sister, where is the need for you to be a cow and a horse. The woman's eyes swept over June's delicate face and thin body, "Follow my sister in the future, and keep you hungry or frozen." ”

The woman shook the silk, and a man picked up August on the ground, and June saw the man carrying June into a courtyard with a "Xiaoxiang Pavilion" plaque.
