Chapter Ninety-Eight: Yo Yo and the Barren Home
Before leaving the capital, Li Qingwan took off the pendant around his neck and put it in Yuan Lai's palm. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
According to her, it was a self-defense weapon, but Yuan Lai had always regarded it more as a souvenir, and the pendant was in the shape of a cloud, which he would not be mistaken, so he was surprised when he saw the same jade pendant on the little girl he met by chance.
The first thought that came to mind was the Cloud Sect.
Li Qingjuan said that the disciples of the Yun Sect who escaped back then were scattered to the end of the world, he always thought that the end of the world was a very distant place, but he didn't want to meet another pendant here, although this didn't mean anything, but at least it aroused his interest and attention.
In front of several people, his seemingly fiery gaze rested on the little girl's chest and did not move for a long time.
This is an easily misleading move, the little girl under the eyes was stunned, then the little face was pale caused by nervousness, she took a few steps back, and then there was anger, she suddenly covered the flat chest plain, stared like a frightened cat and roared: "What do you see!"
"What are you looking at?" Xie Caiwei then reacted, she squinted and looked directly at the young man beside her.
Yuan Lai was stunned for a moment, and after seeing the situation clearly, he immediately smiled bitterly, he shook his head and said, "I am looking at the pendant." ”
"Pendant?"
Yuan Lai didn't explain, but approached the dirty little girl like a boy step by step, and then asked, "Where did the pendant you wore come from?"
When the little girl heard this, she hurriedly lowered her head, and then instantly held the jade pendant that shook off her clothes in the palm of her hand, shook her head and said, "This can't be done!
"I didn't say I wanted anything from you, I just asked you, where did the pendant come from?" Yuan Lai tried to soften his tone.
"Why are you asking this?!" she stared at Yuan Lai with wary eyes.
Yuan came to see the vigilance in her eyes, looked back at the confused two, hesitated for a moment Yuan Lai reached out and pulled up the rope around his neck, and the jasper pendant that Li Qingwan gave him hung in the air.
It was also shown in front of the lean little girl.
"You see, I have one too, and I just thought it was a coincidence, so I just asked. Yuan Lai said with a smile.
"You...... How can you have it?" the little girl blinked in a daze at the pendant hanging in the hand of the young man in front of her, and then looked down at herself, the look of vigilance on her face was much soothed, but then there was a deep curiosity that crept up her eyes.
Yuan Lai took the pendant in his hand and said with a smile: "So, look, I just want to ask where your pendant came from." ”
The sun is in the sky, the sky is clear, maybe the breeze makes people feel calm, or maybe it is Yuan Lai's smile infection, or it is due to the curiosity in her heart, in short, the little girl's nervous heart relaxed, her hand holding the pendant also unfolded like a petal blooming, there is a blue cloud lying in her palm, Yuan Lai's palm is also lying the same one, the crystal texture of the two clouds reflects the scenery in the sky like glass, the wind blows the white clouds in the sky, and more clouds are reflected in the two blue clouds.
"This is what my mother left me. She said.
Xie Caiwei slowly took a few steps forward, she looked at the jade pendants in her two palms, looked at Yuan Lai with some surprise, and asked in a questioning tone, "Magic weapon?"
Yuan Lai nodded slightly, and then turned his gaze back to this little girl, her words obviously contained deep meaning, Yuan Lai asked, "...... your mother?"
The little girl's eyes darkened for a moment, and she did not answer, but the answer was already self-evident.
Yuan Lai said softly: "Then do you have anyone else at home?"
The little girl shook her head, but did not show any sadness, and said, "As for me, you...... Do you know my mother?"
Yuan Lai sighed, put away the jade pendant, and said, "It should be one of my elders, okay, I don't have to pay for it, but ...... I'd like to go to your house, okay?"
This is a very abrupt request, Yuan Lai is ready to be rejected, and he doesn't plan to threaten such a little girl, he just wants to take a look, to put it bluntly, it is also driven by a curiosity in his heart, whether the other party is from the Yun Sect in the past He is not sure.
However, to his surprise, the dirty little girl said very simply, "Yes, anyway...... There are no valuable things at home, and they are not afraid of stealing. ”
Her calm tone made Xie Caiwei smile slightly, and then she saw Yuan Lai turn around and look at her with a soliciting gaze.
"I don't know what's going on, but ...... Since you're going, let's go. ”
......
Sanzang sat back in the driver's seat, and the little monk still didn't dare to look at this little girl named Yoyou until this moment, and the courage to go forward and pick up his clothes disappeared without a trace.
He looked back at the three people sitting in the carriage with his stick, and then he reached out and touched the horse's buttocks, and the carriage began to walk again, the only difference was that there were more people in the carriage.
Yoyo's home is in the small town in front, and there is no need to detour, the group entered the small city and went around to the east of the city under the guidance of Yoyou, entered from a cold alley, and finally stopped in front of a small courtyard.
Yuan Lai lifted the curtains, and saw that the grass had grown at the door of the courtyard, and the door was mottled and even dotted with a little rain mildew, and the door of the courtyard was not locked, it was bolted from the inside.
Sanzang parked the carriage, and several people stood in front of the open courtyard gate, and the small courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and the only clean place was a well, and then there were a few dilapidated houses.
"You live alone?" Xie Caiwei couldn't help but ask.
"Otherwise, it's good to have a place to live. Yo Yo said in an adult-like tone.
Xie Caiwei, who grew up in the capital, has never seen such a house, let alone lived in it, although there are many plants in her yard in the capital, they are all carefully selected and planted, which is much better than this wild growth.
Yuan Lai was not surprised, and it could be seen from Yoyou's dirty face that she was not a very beautiful little girl.
On the one hand, there is no condition to pay attention to it, on the other hand, it may not be at the age of beauty, of course, Yuan Lai also suspects that she deliberately made herself like this, at least from the eyebrows, she should not be ugly, she can even be said to be beautiful, but it is just covered by the black marks and messy hair on her face.
"You don't usually walk through the door, do you? Yuan glanced at the bolt that had been picked open and said.
Yo You nodded, walked towards the house by herself, and replied at the same time, "Yes, I usually climb over the wall." ”
Yuan Lai nodded approvingly in Xie Caiwei's weird eyes: "Well, it's better to go over the wall." ”
Stepping on the weeds and walking along the stone path to the dilapidated rooms, several people had different expressions.
Yo Yo is a master who walks in front. Yuan Lai looked around with interest, Xie Caiwei followed the young man expressionlessly, the happiest was the little monk Sanzang, he didn't care what his two employers were thinking, he just saw the grass all over the courtyard and was sincerely happy for the horse pulling the cart.
"Alright, please come in. Yoyo pushed open the door and turned around to invite.
