It was already three watches in the night, duckweed took a pool of clear water as a quilt, counted the twenty-eight stars, thought about the first fate of the encounter, and sang slowly:

The little baby propped up the dinghy and secretly picked the white lotus.

I don't understand the hidden traces, and the duckweed opens together. []

She loves this water town. It's strange these days, Xiaowa didn't come to her secretly. It seemed too boring to live without that little girl. Duckweed had just thought of this, and there was a commotion in the distance.

"Sister Ping'er," I heard a quick cry, and the little figure jumped into the water with a pop, and duckweed hurriedly hugged her. Before he could speak, he could only hear the hurried footsteps on the shore, and more than a dozen men who looked like housekeepers chased after him with torches.

When everyone saw the duckweed in the pond and thought of the recent rumors of female ghosts, they couldn't help but take a few steps back. The man at the head was quite calm, and plucked up the courage to shout at the duckweed: "This ghost lady, all of us have no grievances with you, and we will no longer pursue the matter of you hurting people." It's just that this little girl is the concubine newly bought by our master, and now she is running away, and I hope that the ghost lady will return her to us, otherwise we will not be able to make a difference. Ask the ghost lady for mercy. ”

Duckweed looked at the trembling baby, and then at the people on the shore, and said with a smile: "Pity?

Her eyes had begun to turn dark green, and there was an indescribable chill. Some people have begun to tremble, and even want to run away.

"Tell me, why did you take her away?" asked duckweed coldly.

The leader continued to tremble and said: "This little girl's father and brother bought her fifty taels of silver, and our master wants to marry her as a concubine, and the two families have already discussed it, but how do you know that this little girl actually ran away after knowing it." ”

She has seen the drama of the world, and those parents who say that they have no money and can only sell their daughters as slaves to make a living are often unworthy of being parents.

"For a concubine?" interrupted duckweed coldly, his tone as icy as ice.

With a movement of her fingers, something was thrown into the air, and she threw a hundred taels of silver on the shore, but no one dared to take it.

"Go back and tell your master, I bought this little girl, and by the way, tell her father and brother that if you want to find someone, come to Huangquan to find it." In a word, she didn't care about the stunned and frightened expressions of those people, duckweed flew out of the water with the little baby, her sleeves fluttering, and her wet clothes outlined her slender figure, like a fairy under the moon.

The little girl in her arms was shivering, and her clothes were soaked. Duckweed lowered her eyes and sighed.

Even their own relatives are willing to sell their flesh and blood, people are really more terrible than demons and ghosts for money.

July, Gusu. In an inn in the city, the little baby is still in a drowsy state.

The duckweed sent a few doctors, looking at the thin girl on the bed, they felt very uncomfortable.

Since she rescued the baby, the baby has been in a coma. I invited several doctors in a row, all of them said that it was the chaos caused by excessive fright and anxiety and the wind and cold, and gradually showed the color of decay, such a small girl, the body and bones were weak, and if she couldn't wake up, she would never wake up.

For the first time, duckweed realized that human beings were so fragile.

She was really worried, this was the first fate she met in the world, and she and Xiaowa had only known each other for more than ten days. She likes her and is close to her because Xiaowa is simple and cute, and more importantly, Xiaowa is the first friend-like person she has met since she went down the mountain.

Only immortal magic is useful for prolonging life, and her ten thousand years of demon magic is now useless for this weak life.

Why can't she become an immortal in 10,000 years, if she is an immortal, Xiaowa's life will not end like this.

Human life is so short, for her who has lived for tens of thousands of years, a few decades is just like a nap time.

However, she now wants the little baby to live, and she wants the little girl to experience all the joys of the world, which should belong to her. Her life cannot be cut short because of some wicked people.
