Chapter 198: Master and Apprentice Recognize Each Other
After listening to the words of the old man Tianshui, Ling Yao couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"So what are you going to do?"
Ling Yao thought about it carefully, and then asked.
"To fight against such evil, it is necessary to support the corresponding good, and only the rise of good can suppress evil, and only in this way will no matter how evil is inherited, it will no longer cause large-scale harm."
Old Man Tianshui's words were extremely powerful.
Ling Yao looked at him and then at the rain curtain, but did not speak.
"A-Yao?"
Xie Jue shouted softly to Ling Yao and ran over.
"Do you want to eat candy?"
Xie Jue looked at the signature in Ling Yao's hand that had not yet been thrown away, and asked a little strangely.
"Well, it's delicious."
Ling Yao smiled and nodded.
"Then uncle, I'll have one too!"
Xie Jue turned his head and smiled at the old man of Tianshui.
"Okay."
The old man's voice became a little old and hoarse again.
Soon a sugar painting was ready, and what was handed to Xie Jue was a dragon-shaped sugar painting.
"It's really good!"
Xie Jue couldn't help but praise it when he took a bite.
"Hmm."
Ling Yao took out two coins from the money bag and handed them to the old man Tianshui.
"Let's go, let's go back."
Xie Jue took Ling Yao's hand.
"Okay."
Ling Yao and Xie Jue walked together on the way back to the inn.
"Uncle, business is booming."
After taking two steps, Ling Yao suddenly turned around and said something to the old man Tianshui.
"Then borrow your auspicious words from the little girl!"
The old man of Tianshui responded happily.
Ling Yao and Xie Jue walked away little by little in the rain.
The rain continued into the night, and it was not heavy, but it was lingering.
When everyone fell asleep, a figure jumped out of the inn gently, all the way to a lightly decorated courtyard.
"Here, here's for you."
"Hey, this one is about to lose its teeth, Master......"
One old and one young, are having such a conversation.
If Ling Yao was there, seeing such a scene, no matter how calm she was, she would be surprised for a while.
The two people who didn't have more than a second of eyes in the daytime met were actually masters and apprentices.
"I heard that you won a good ranking in the Sword Discussion Club, and the Qingfeng Order is also in your hands?"
The old man Tianshui said while collecting the sugar jar.
"My place was given by someone else."
Xie Jue said vaguely while biting the sugar man.
"That little girl today?"
The old man of Tianshui also heard about the things at the sword meeting.
"Well, her name is Ling Yao, and I will bring her to visit you officially in the future."
Xie Jue introduced it very seriously.
"Well, it's still the killer of Qixinglou, you can pick people, and if you pick one, you will pick a name that shocks the rivers and lakes."
The old man of Tianshui swept Xie Jue with his eyes.
"She doesn't kill innocents, and she doesn't kill people."
Although Xie Jue knew that his master would not have any prejudices, he still couldn't help but want to say a few more words for Ling Yao.
"Well, you like this kind of thing, just decide it, who will really interfere. Even if you like the biggest devil in the world, no one will stop you if you want to. ”
The old man Tianshui took out his cigarette pouch and smoked it.
"yes, got it, got it."
Xie Jue looked at the old man Tianshui with a smile.
"By the way, Master, there has been no news from you recently, why are you here?"
Xie Jue was still a little surprised to see his master here.
"It's hard here, I'll take a look."
The old man of Tianshui buckled the cigarette pouch.
"Huh? The economy is depressed, and there are few women, which is really strange here. ”
Xie Jue nodded, if it weren't for the fact that he was in a hurry to send everyone back to the Medicine King Valley, Xie Jue would have planned to take a good look here.
"Ah Jue, do you know why this is the case here?"
The old man Tianshui turned to look at Xie Jue.
"There is a faint idea ......", Xie Jue couldn't help but sink his heart when he mentioned this idea, "There are so few women here, it shouldn't be some destiny." ”
The old man Tianshui looked at this proud man of his own, and sighed in his heart, he was really still sensitive.
"It's really not a destiny, such a result can only be man-made, infanticide here."
When the old man Tianshui said this, his expression became a little desolate.
Although Xie Jue guessed a few points, when he heard this, his eyes still trembled, and his hands couldn't help clenching.
"When I passed by here in winter the year before last, I felt that the weather was not too cold, so I stayed for the winter, but I never thought that I would discover the secrets buried in this city."
The old man Tianshui slowly recalled the scene at that time.
He has nothing to do in the city as a candy man and sells candy paintings, but he is very popular, and many children come to him to buy candy to eat. At first, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, after all, he never expected that there would be so much intertwined malice in this somewhat dull looking city.
It didn't take long for him to find that in addition to the adults in the family, most of the people who bought candy were little boys, and there were very few girls.
He always felt that something was wrong, even if the girl was not favored, she was just a sugar man, where could he not afford it?
Then he began to observe carefully, and he found that not only are there few women, but the mood of the people here is also affected by the weather, dull before the heavy rain, and after the heavy rain, it seems to have gained strength and new life.
He always felt that this was a bad sign.
So when it rained again, he uncharacteristically pushed the cart out of the stall.
Under his observation, he found a very noteworthy thing, although it was raining heavily, there were actually many people walking outside the city.
When it was getting late, he closed his stall and hurried out of the city to see what they were doing.
That night he saw the last thing he wanted to see.
One after another the girls were thrown into the river in baskets, and none of them cried out in such a situation, not knowing whether they were stunned or what.
Everything that happened in the rain was depressing and shocking.
Although he was some distance from the river, he was a profound martial artist, and it was natural to hear what the group of people said again.
"It's weird......
"The river god accepts people, and we can't help it."
"It's all for everyone, so go well."
Trivial words kept ringing out.
"All the winners of this draw are here, right?"
A man who looked like a leader asked.
"It's all here, originally the old Wu family still didn't want to release people, after all, this time it was drawn to their house again, and it is understandable. But according to what you said, you told them that they would give subsidies, and they didn't argue anymore. ”
The person next to him nodded and said.
"Well, after all, it's all life, and I can't bear it, but the economy in our city is not good, where can I have spare money to take care of it? Those boys will also have to suffer in the future, how can these little girls survive if life is sad, and it may be a blessing to go early. ”
The leader sighed as he spoke.
"You have always been a bodhisattva, and now there is really no way, maybe this group of little girls can live if they float to a rich family, that is also fate, we tried our best."
