Chapter 90: The Grace of a Meal

After Liu Qili heard the mysterious man's words, her face turned dark, pointed to the mysterious man's nose, and kept scolding, the mysterious man was scolded by Liu Qili and did not refute it, but lowered his head and did not speak.

Zhang Yi couldn't stand it when he listened to it, so he raised his legs and walked straight to Liu Qili.

"What do you want to do?" Liu Qili saw Zhang Yi walking towards her, stopped scolding the person who changed her life, and turned her finger to Zhang Yi and asked.

"Don't you want to do anything!" Zhang Yi plucked out his ears and said lazily.

"You...... You...... Don't come here! Do you believe me or not......"

Before Liu Qili finished speaking, Zhang Yimeng stepped forward and slashed at Liu Qili's neck with a "horn", directly slashing Liu Qili unconscious.

Zhang Yi helped Liu Qili, who had fainted, and was about to put her on the ground, when the mysterious man came forward and said, "Fellow Daoist, give it to me!"

Zhang Yi thought about it and handed Liu Qili over to the mysterious person.

The mysterious man gently picked up Liu Qili, walked into the park, and came to a bench.

The mysterious man put Liu Qili on the bench, then took off his coat and covered Liu Qili. After doing all this, the mysterious man stood on the edge of the bench and looked at Liu Qili quietly.

Zhang Yi clasped his hands beside him, leaned on the trunk of the tree, watched all this, and did not come forward to disturb.

After a few minutes, the mysterious man turned his back to Zhang Yi and suddenly said, "Daoyou, you ask, as long as I know, I will tell you!"

Zhang Yi was still leaning on the trunk of the tree, did not get up, and said lightly: "Your Excellency should know what I want to ask!"

The mysterious man turned around, looked at Zhang Yi with a pair of cloudy eyes, and asked, "Daoyou, how old do you think I am now?"

Zhang Yi frowned and said, "What do you mean?" Zhang Yi knew that it was impossible for a mysterious person to ask him such a question for no reason.

"I'm only in my forties this year!" The mysterious man said calmly.

"Huh!?" Zhang Yi squinted slightly, but responded lightly.

"A man who is only a little over forty years old looks like a man who is the age of a rod." The mysterious man said self-deprecatingly.

"Is it the price of a life?" Zhang Yi asked rhetorically.

"Sort of!"

"Why are you helping Liu Qili so much?"

"For a bowl of porridge!"

"Huh!?"

The mysterious man paused, and did not immediately answer Zhang Yi's doubts, but raised his eyebrows. Then he seemed to feel that it was not very convenient to talk to Zhang Yi while wearing a mask, so he reached out and took off the mask on his face.

Zhang Yi looked at the mysterious man in horror after taking off the mask, then there was no skin, no flesh, only black teeth exposed, as if the flesh of the lower half of his face had been torn off. However, Zhang Yi quickly came back to his senses and put away this kind of gaze.

No wonder he had been speaking vaguely before, originally thought it was a relationship with a mask, but now it seems that the mask is just to cover the person's scary face.

"Didn't you frighten Daoyou!" The mysterious man said with a smirk.

"Is this the price of your life?" Zhang Yi asked again.

"Yes, it's mainly the price of penetrating the sky, it's too much to say." The mysterious man said without concealment.

"Penetrating the sky? Don't tell me, you're going to the heavens for Liu Qili. Zhang Yi said coldly.

"Fellow Daoists, you should know that the grace of a drop of water should be repaid with a spring!" The mysterious man said vaguely.

"Say it!!" Zhang Yi heard the mysterious man's words, and he roughly knew the answer in his heart.

………………

The mysterious person's name is Li Xinyang, and more than 20 years ago, he met Liu Qili's father, Liu Jie!

Liu Jie waited anxiously outside that day, because today was the day of Liu's wife's birth, Liu Jie's outside was walking around, with joys and worries in his heart, happy that he had a child and was going to be a father! And the worry is that now that the family is so poor, whether they can support this child.

At that time, Liu Jie's family was very poor, and the poor ones were almost unable to eat.

"Wow! Wow! A child's cry came out of the room, and as soon as Liu Jie heard that the child was born, the sorrow in his heart immediately dissipated, and there was only happiness on his face.

Soon the midwife came out with a baby in her arms and said, "Congratulations, congratulations, it's a daughter!"

Liu Ming's midwife took the baby in her hand and teased the baby in her arms with a smile. After a while, Liu Jie looked up and said with an embarrassed face: "That Aunt Zhou, you also know the situation of my family, so ......"

"It's okay, it's all from the neighborhood!" The midwife said unconcernedly.

"Well, when this year's grain harvest is complete, I'll send some to you!"

"Don't talk about this yet, your daughter-in-law has just given birth, and now she is very weak, you go cook something to replenish your daughter-in-law's strength!" The midwife taught Liu Jie carefully.

"Yes, okay!" Liu Jie nodded.

"Then I'll go back first!"

Liu Jie first held the child and sent the midwife out, then returned to the room and put the child beside his daughter-in-law.

"Daughter-in-law, thank you for your hard work!" Liu Jie squeezed his daughter-in-law's hand and said.

Liu's wife shook her head weakly.

"Daughter-in-law, you rest first, I'll cook you some porridge!" Liu Jie saw that his daughter-in-law was so weak, and he didn't say much.

Soon, Liu Jie cooked a bowl of porridge, and Liu Jie carefully held the bowl of porridge, saying that it was porridge rather than rice soup, because there was not much rice in this bowl of porridge.

Liu Jie was walking to the room where Liu's wife was, and when he was about to arrive, he heard a "bang" at the door, and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

Liu Jie heard a strange noise outside the door, and couldn't stop being curious, so he put the porridge on the table, planning to go out to see what was going on. When I walked out of the door, I found that there was a person lying on my stomach in front of the door, and this person was Li Xinyang.

Liu Jie saw someone lying in front of his house, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help this person, patted Li Xinyang's cheek and said, "Little brother, wake up, wake up, what's wrong with you?"

Li Xinyang felt that someone was calling him, so he opened his eyes with difficulty, and said in an extremely weak voice: "Please...... You're here, give me some...... Let's eat! At this time, Li Xinyang had not eaten rice for almost five days, so he fainted at the door of Liu Jie's house with hunger.

Liu Jie twitched the corners of his mouth, smiled bitterly, and said, "Little brother, I won't tell you, in fact, my family has no food."

Li Xinyang rolled his eyes weakly, and then slowly closed his eyes.

Liu Jie looked at Li Xinyang, who was yellow and thin, and he couldn't bear it, so he first dragged Li Xinyang to a tree, leaned him against the trunk, and then went into the house and took out the bowl of porridge, came to the side of the trunk, and fed Li Xinyang little by little.

Liu Jie's only bowl of porridge and the only remaining ration were fed to Li Xinyang, an irrelevant and unfamiliar stranger, under Liu Jie's simple heart.
