Chapter 224: Five Root Bones are Wonderful
Timidly, from behind the statue of the earth, a few small heads poked out.
How could a few children hide Lu Sheng's perception? The moment he entered the Land Temple, Lu Sheng was already aware of their existence.
The flames rise, and the warmth of the firelight seems to be what the children yearn for very much. Seeing that Lu Sheng and the three of them were not fierce and vicious, they leaned out from behind the land statue nervously.
"Uncle, aren't you here to arrest us?" asked one of the children timidly.
Lu Sheng shook his head, "No, come over and roast the fire!"
Looking at Lu Sheng's smile, several children no longer seemed to be as scared as before, and came to the fire one by one hesitantly, but kept a sufficient distance from Lu Sheng and the three of them.
"Gai Ying, go outside and find some dry firewood to come back. Lu Sheng said softly.
"Now?" Gai Ying looked at the pouring rain outside, hesitated slightly, but still stood up and walked out into the torrential rain.
Finding dry firewood in a rainstorm is impossible for normal people. But for the three people with profound martial arts, it is actually not particularly difficult.
Lu Sheng looked at the children with a smile, two boys and three girls. About ten years old, all of them have clear eyebrows.
Suddenly, the essence in Lu Sheng's eyes lit up, and in an unintentional look, Lu Sheng suddenly found that these five children had very good roots and bones, and they were all good seedlings for practicing martial arts. This kind of root bone, although it cannot be said to be one in ten thousand, is at least not so common.
It is very common for one to appear, but five of them appear at the same time, which makes Lu Sheng subconsciously keep his mind.
Five children are yellow and thin, and three girls huddle together to keep warm. At this time, Lu Sheng noticed that all five children were wearing the same iron rings on their wrists. Obviously, these children are not the little beggars that Lu Sheng thought before.
Lu Sheng took out an oiled paper bag from his arms, which was originally dry food prepared for this trip. After opening it, three pieces of Tunnam Province's specialty baked cakes appeared in front of the eyes of the five children.
In an instant, the eyes of the five children lit up.
"Are you hungry, for you!" Lu Sheng handed the baked cake to the child next to him. The older child snatched the pancake and quickly broke off a small piece and put it in his mouth.
Lu Sheng looked at the child with a smile on his face, and the meaning in his eyes was quite playful.
After a while, the boy divided the three pieces of bread among the three girls. And throughout, the other boy showed no reluctance.
"It's kind of interesting!"
The performance of the two boys made Lu Sheng even more satisfied, especially the eldest child, it was really remarkable to be able to do this. Even many adults may not be able to have such good qualities and morals.
Lu Sheng smiled and took out another oiled paper bag from his arms, which contained two pieces of cake. Lu Sheng still handed it to the eldest child, and the child still took a small bite and tasted it as before. After that, he broke off half of the piece, and then handed the piece and a half to the boy next to him.
As if this was their default rule, none of the five children spoke or made a sound. Except for the sparse swallowing sound, there was no noise or noise.
"How long have you been wandering together?"
"It's been seven days...... "The eldest child said after swallowing the last bite of bread.
"Seven days? You are not beggars, who are you, why are you wandering? What about your parents?"
Lu Sheng's question made the eyes of the five children even darker. One by one, they lowered their heads, not daring to raise their heads.
"Don't be nervous, come, can my brother make a trick for you?" said Lu Sheng's body, and a faint white smoke suddenly rose. The white smoke was thick and turned into a cloud, but it was quickly dispersed by the flames.
The three little girls widened their eyes in surprise, "Uncle, are you a fairy?"
Well, it seems that the title can't be changed.
"Don't be so ignorant, that's called internal strength......" The boy next to him swallowed the baked cake and said lightly.
"Have you ever seen martial arts?" Lu Sheng turned his head to look at the child.
"I haven't seen it, but I heard the head of the snake say ......"
"Ah Liang!" The eldest child suddenly drank, and the man named Ah Liang suddenly changed his face and stopped his voice.
At this time, Gai Ying walked up with a fresh wooden stake. The kind that can't be burned at all. But Gai Ying didn't mind and threw it away by Lu Jian's side.
"Brother Lu, I'm sorry for you, my internal force is water attribute, and I don't have you to do it. β
Lu Jian smiled faintly, his palm was gently placed on the wooden stake, and in an instant, Lu Jian's palm was as red as a soldering iron, and a smell of mold suddenly rose on the wooden stake, accompanied by scorched smoke.
The green stump quickly turned into dry firewood, and this scene was like a trick in the eyes of several children.
"Drinkβ"
With a soft snort, the stake suddenly split apart, and Lu Jian casually threw the firewood into the fire, and the flames, which had gradually faded, burned fiercely again.
And in Lu Sheng's heart, he has already judged the identities of several children. Sure enough, the children escaped from the tooth shop. No wonder, every one has an iron ring on his hand.
When asked about their parents before, it's no wonder they didn't want to mention it. Perhaps, in their minds to come their parents have not wanted them anymore and sold them.
Thinking of this, Lu Sheng's mood was a little heavy.
He can save them, and even adopt them, but how many children like them are there in this world? How many can Lu Sheng save?
"Arrived, arrived, there is a land temple in front of ......" Suddenly, a rough voice came from afar.
When several children heard that someone was coming, they hurriedly stood up to hide, but they were held down by Lu Sheng, "It's okay, you guys are just baking the fire here." β
Maybe Lu Sheng's missed hand before made the children feel very reliable, maybe they didn't want to leave the fire to go behind the dark idol, and the children sat down peacefully.
"Yo, so there are already people here? Disturb it! When you go out, please make it convenient, the rain is too heavy, and our brothers come here to take shelter from the rain?"
"It's convenient for you to be with others, two of you, please, this land temple is not opened by my family. β
"Hahaha...... Where did the three sons come from, listening to Your Excellency's accent, it seems that they are not locals......" The middle-aged strong man said with a smile as he took off his robe.
Suddenly, the smile on his face was put away, and the middle-aged man's eyes were like electricity, and he instantly locked on the five children who were roasting in the middle of the fire, "Hahaha...... It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there. Lao Tzu has been looking for you for seven days, and I met you here. β
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, the five children screamed to stand up, and Lu Sheng pulled them again, "Don't be afraid, no one can take you away!"
When the middle-aged man heard this, his eyes instantly sharpened, "Three little brothers, show a sign!"
"The wanderers of the rivers and lakes are also the people of the end of the world. Lu Sheng didn't speak yet, but Gai Ying, who was on the side, suddenly spoke. The first time I heard the Jianghu people talk about the incision, Lu Sheng didn't interrupt and continued to listen.
"There are tiles on the house?" the middle-aged man stared at Gai Ying coldly.
"Bright!"
"Show your wrists?"
Snort β
Gai Ying waved his hand coldly, and a sword qi surged out, and the middle-aged man didn't even have time to react, the sword qi almost whistled past his ears.
Gai Ying showed his hand, and the middle-aged man's face turned pale. The expression on his face also became respectful, "Disrespectful, disrespectful!" he said, slowly walked towards the three of them, squatted beside Gai Ying and stretched out his hand to roast the fire.
"My brother and I are all running around to eat...... If the three young heroes are not related to these five children, I advise you not to meddle in your affairs. The middle-aged man's tone was very sincere, without the slightest threat.
"What do you say, the people who want them are big?"
"It's nothing else, but in this Jiangbei Province, you shouldn't mess with it. Dongcheng Yahang pointed to the ...... they wanted The boss of Dongcheng Yaxing is also considered to be the number one big man in Tongnan Mansion.
It's also very strange to say brothers, why is the boss of such a big business so concerned about a few children? But just like that, these children, Dongcheng Yaxing has been named. Whoever can bring it back, a hundred taels.
Everyone goes south and north to mix food, and it is not worth it to wade into this water for a moment of compassion. The parents have sold their children, and they are the people of Dongcheng Yaxing. It's reasonable and reasonable, it doesn't make sense for you to protect it. β
"Are you so sure that the parents sold their children and not were trafficked?" Lu Jian asked lightly.
"My two brothers still have to make a face when they do things, and they have seen it before taking over the job. The parents signed and signed the pledge, and the transaction contract was complete. If you don't believe it, ask them, was it sold by their parents?
Dongcheng Yaxing has a wide range of contacts in Jiangbei Province, and the three of them are strong in martial arts, but there will always be martial arts that are higher than yours, so you can't afford to avoid it. β
"Heh......" Lu Sheng smiled. Lu Sheng didn't dare to say anything else, but there shouldn't be many martial arts in the entire rivers and lakes that were higher than him.
"Okay, since there are procedures in Dongcheng Yaxing, then we will also follow the rules. I really like these kids, amazing, I bought them. Lu Sheng smiled and said.
"Okay, let's go together later!" the middle-aged man smiled. As long as he brings them back, they will have a reason to take the five hundred taels of silver.
Lu Sheng understood in his heart, but he didn't say anything, originally they were going to Dongcheng Yaxing, but it was just by the way.
Several children trusted Lu Sheng and the three of them very much, even the eldest child showed closeness to Lu Sheng. No matter how smart he is, he is just a child after all. In the child's simple mind, the uncle who is willing to give them baked cakes to eat should be a good person.
Kids, still kids!
The site of Dongcheng Yahang is large, with a long wall surrounding a huge mansion. There were many carriages parked at the door, and many more were driven by cages.
These cages are not for livestock, but for people.
Seeing this, Gai Ying's sword has always been placed in the best position to make the sword. Here, it is purgatory, it is the Yama Temple, and everyone here has filth flowing from the pores of their bodies.
"Are a few guests here to pick people?" A little girl dressed like a second came forward to greet him, and when he saw a few children beside Gai Ying, his face suddenly showed a fierce expression, "Okay, little rabbit, tell you to run!"
As he spoke, he raised the whip in his hand and whipped it towards several children.
The whip was caught between Gai Ying's two fingers, Xiao Er's face changed suddenly, and he was about to get angry, when suddenly, a huge token appeared in his eyes.
The token was almost attached to Xiao Er's face, and Xiao Er took a few steps back to see clearly.
"What is this...... What yamen?"
"Don't talk nonsense, let Lai Chuntao come out, the official wants to ask!"
