Xiao Lingran looked at the expression of the shopkeeper, and was a little more indifferent, this is the way of the world today, rich and powerful are kings.

The shopkeeper wanted to take her upstairs to sit, after all, there was still a relationship with Tu Ye, but Xiao Lingran refused, just found an empty table on the first floor and sat down, ordered some new dishes to taste, and asked the child to choose a few favorite dishes.

The dishes were all ready, Xiao Lingran was already overly hungry, and when he saw that the child was just looking at it with his eyes and not moving his chopsticks, he urged: "What do you want, hurry up and eat the vegetables." ”

The child swallowed his saliva, looked at Xiao Lingran with tentative eyes, and asked, "Who are you, why are you so good to me, is there any intention?" ”

"Smack." Xiao Lingran dropped the chopsticks in his hand, squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the children in front of him, and stepped forward to play him.

"Why are you so serious about this little child, I was kind enough to buy you medicine and food, and you are still doubting my intentions here." I really don't know what kind of blow this child has suffered, he is so mature at such a young age.

As soon as the words fell, the child directly began to eat, looking at the miserable child in front of him, Xiao Lingran was very pleased, his eating appearance was quite a bit of his own majestic posture back then.

"Eat slowly, don't choke." Xiao Lingran poured a cup of tea and handed it to the child.

"By the way, you haven't told me your name yet?" Xiao Lingran asked as he nibbled on sweet and sour pork ribs.

The boy looked up and said, "You didn't tell me either." ”

Well, this little kid still feels like a human trafficker!

Xiao Lingran highlighted the bones in his mouth and shook his head: "That's it, I'll introduce myself first." My name is Xiao Lingran, and I just finished participating in the project in the sect selection today, and I met you on the way home. ”

"I ...... I didn't know my name, I didn't know where my home was, and when I woke up I found myself lying on the floor, hungry and cold......" The boy whispered his story as he paddled his meal.

Xiao Lingran touched his head, and he froze suddenly, raising his head and looking at her with strange eyes.

"Shall I give you a name?"

Seeing that the boy didn't speak, Xiao Lingran asked again: "You said that you were lying on the ground as soon as you woke up, so how long have you been here?" ”

"It's been over a year...... All I knew was that I woke up next to the woods, it was very cold, it was raining lightly, and I was alone. ”

He lowered his eyes, he had always been alone, growing up alone, stealing food alone, hiding alone......

"The forest shows that the sky is dark, and the twilight in the city is cold." Xiao Lingran couldn't help but think of a poem.

"Why don't you just call Ji Han, as for the surname......" Xiao Lingran leaned closer and stared at the child, and asked, "Would you like to follow my surname Xiao?" ”

The boy turned his face a little uninterestingly, and replied after a long time: "Xiao is the sky...... It's good if you're happy. ”

Xiao Lingran's smiling music blossomed, holding his angular face and saying, "You will have a name in the future, called Xiao Jihan." ”

"Uh-huh......" The boy blushed slightly, and sandwiched a few more sweet and sour pork ribs for her.

"Then do you need me to repay you by your side?" Xiao Jihan raised his head and asked.

Xiao Lingran smiled and said, "That's not necessary, I just volunteered to help you, and I didn't want you to repay anything." ”

"But I want to follow you ......" This sentence, Xiao Jihan held it in his heart, didn't say it, just stopped talking, and lowered his head to eat.

After the meal, Xiao Jihan asked reluctantly, "Are you leaving?" ”

Xiao Lingran nodded and replied, "Yes, I will continue to select tomorrow." You're going to be good too, you know? I hope that the next time I see you, you will be able to support yourself on your own. ”

Xiao Jihan was silent again, just standing in place, quietly watching her distant back.

The next day, Xiao Lingran slept enough to get up, and for some reason, today's game was held in the afternoon. She rubbed her eyes, only listened to the sound of Nianxin playing outside, pushed open the door and walked to the backyard, and saw her and PHS chasing me, and Vanity also ran on the ground.

Seeing that Xiao Lingran was coming, PHS immediately stopped, and Nianxin hugged it up, "The big bad wolf caught you~"

"You've been making noise early in the morning?" Xiao Lingran shook his head.

"Sister, you're awake." Nianxin heard her voice and immediately drilled over.

Xiao Lingran sighed, looked at Nianxin with doting eyes and said: "That's it, the fat raised in the past this winter is still harmful, you can run and jump with her, otherwise you won't exercise on weekdays......"

"Xing'er, why are you still here?" Yao Lao came back from outside the door and asked when he saw Xiao Lingran.

Since Xiao Lingran and Dan Qingzi couldn't be with each other often, Yao Lao didn't want to sit at home and wait for death, so he often went out to relax.

Xiao Lingran turned his head and replied, "I only went to the competition in the afternoon, so I'm not in a hurry." ”

After hearing this, Yao Lao went to prepare today's lunch with a basket full of vegetables.

Nianxin wanted Xiao Lingran to play with her, but now she really doesn't have this leisure, since the last round of selection, her heart has been hanging and has never fallen.

Seeing that she begged for a long time, Xiao Lingran was helpless, so she had to throw the pot out.

"Hey, wake up." She patted the ring and called out to someone inside, "If you hear trouble, come out." ”

"Please." Xiao Lingran added.

A black shadow instantly came out of the ring, "Mo Fan is willing to serve Xiao Dye and Dye~ Does Xiao Dye want to massage and massage, or warm the bed?" ”

In the last sentence, Xiao Lingran almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood, "What nonsense are you talking about, I asked you to come out to find someone to play with." ”

Xiao Lingran glanced at the thought in front of him, the child is still young, he shouldn't understand, hmm!

"Ah, that's it, that's it......" Mo Fan's face was full of disappointment, but she still played with this little doll according to her wishes.

Xiao Lingran took advantage of his free time and sat on the rattan chair in a daze.

At lunchtime, Xiao Lingran didn't feel hungry, maybe he ate breakfast too late, and he didn't have any appetite now.

"Brush-" The transmission note suddenly flew in front of him, and with a yellow light, Xiao Lingran picked up the paper note, and heard a familiar voice.

"Anyone? Can you hear me? There was a question from the other end.

"I'm here, is it Brother Evergreen? I'm a star! Xiao Lingran asked impatiently, and looked at Yao Lao with a happy face.

"It's Xing'er, I haven't heard your voice for a long time, I'm here to tell you something."

Yao Lao was also listening, his eyes full of longing.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Xiao Lingran asked.

"I won the first place in the exam this time, and I will soon enter the palace to face the saint, maybe I will have a chance to come back to see you halfway."

Xiao Lingran's heart was overjoyed, and Yao Lao was also very proud, and even said: "Okay, good, after entering the palace, you have to talk less and listen more, be cautious, you know?" ”

Chang Qing heard Yao Lao's voice on the other end, and a warm current surged in his heart, "Chang Qing remember the teachings, you must also take care of your body......"

After a meal, he talked a lot to Chang Qing, although he was separated by a piece of paper and hundreds of roads, but he was still separated from family affection......

In the afternoon, Xiao Lingran rested for a while and went to the place where the exam was held, only to see that the most eye-catching thing there were four tall white pillars. There were mats on the ground in order, and the first to arrive had already found a random one and sat cross-legged.

When everyone arrived, I saw that a large number of disciples from different sects had also arrived, and Senior Brother Fengyun said the rules, and Xiao Lingran understood why there were so many people.

It turns out that this round is looking at the mental method, and everyone has a senior brother in front of them, as long as they take this senior brother smoothly into their own hearts, they can do it.

Xiao Lingran raised his head and found that the person in front of him was the senior brother who led Tu Ye last time-Ah Chun.

This person's expression was very indifferent, but his tone was calm, "If you're ready, you can start." ”

"Okay." Seeing that he was doing things so neatly, Xiao Lingran naturally didn't want to procrastinate, so he sat up straight cross-legged, reciting the mantra silently, and when he opened his eyes again, he had already come to the realm of his heart.

To be honest, she hadn't come to practice in her mood for a long time, and she was a little rusty with the scene in her mood.

Ah Chun entered the state of mind one step behind her, and after looking around, he said in a surprised tone, "Is this your state of mind?" ”

I don't know if he was talking to himself, or if he was asking himself, so he said "um".

"I didn't expect you to be a little girl, and you actually mastered the Red Lotus state of mind......" He said in a slightly praising tone, and Xiao Lingran was a little flattered.

"You take this pill." Ah Chun stretched out his hand and handed over a brown ball.

"This is ......" Xiao Lingran took it and sniffed it, but there was no smell.

"After eating it, you will see some illusions, and only by breaking through them can you prove that your state of mind is very stable and you will qualify for this round."

What else do you say, just look at the mental method, it's really not that simple! Xiao Lingran swallowed it heroically, and when he first arrived in his stomach, he didn't feel anything, and after a while, he only felt that the world was spinning, and his legs and feet were weak.

When I woke up again, this was no longer the Red Lotus state of mind, but my home.

Xiao Lingran entered the house, Yao Lao sat on a rattan chair and drank tea, squatting on the ground to watch the ants, Changqing was still the same, looking at the book in his hand intently, Banxia was touching the bowstring there, seeing Xiao Lingran, he shouted with a smile: "Xing'er." ”

Xiao Lingran didn't respond, she continued to walk inside, past her room, still the same as before. When she crossed the former Dan Qingzi's residence, she saw that the door of the house was open, and she couldn't help but stop, not knowing what she was expecting......

"Stand outside the door and do anything, and come in." A voice came from inside the house.
