Volume 1, Ming Chronicle 42, Duoduo

Looking at the Blackwater City in front of me, compared to the scene a few years ago, it is even more depressed, there are few pedestrians on the streets, and the shops are only less than half open.

Yunqi Inn asked for an upper room, and Li Shi talked to Xiao Er: "Little brother, I also came to this Blackwater City a few years ago, and it was quite prosperous at that time, how did it become like this now?" ”

As he spoke, he handed over a piece of silver. Xiao Er put away the broken silver, smiled, looked at the crowd around him that did not exist, and whispered:

"The guest officer doesn't know, although the lord of Heishui City at that time was also very suppressed a few years ago, but it's okay, he still takes into account a little bit of the Ming court, and the business of the merchants and ordinary people can still be done."

"Since the disappearance of the previous Blackwater City Lord, the new City Lord has become even more lawless, and even the Blackwater Chamber of Commerce has not given face, and has intensified its efforts to forcibly levy and buy. The merchants didn't come, the people couldn't do their business anymore, those who could afford it moved away, and those who stayed behind had nowhere to go. ”

"Didn't the Ming court send someone to take care of it?" Li Shi asked.

"Why didn't you come, you came, but they were all mortals, several waves, and there was no follow-up, and a few more came a few days ago, and I heard that the people who came were all arrested and locked up by the city lord." Saying that, Xiao Er made a throat-cutting motion.

"Is the current city lord still from the Taihua Gate? Isn't Taihuamen a decent door? Doesn't care? ”

"Anyway, the last time the guest officer came, he saw so many homeless people in this city, and I heard that they all escaped from the vicinity of the Taihua Gate. I heard that the people there are even more miserable. ”

As he was talking, he saw the shopkeeper come over and give Xiao Er a blank look: "Have you lived enough, dare to say that you don't want to work yet." ”

said to Li Shi: "Don't listen to his nonsense. He even kicked Xiao Er and told him to hurry up and get to work.

After hearing this, he felt uncomfortable, walked towards the city, walked past a street corner, and saw a shack not far away, and a little girl in tattered clothes with yellow muscles was making dinner in front of the pot.

There was a broken pot on the small stove of the stone base, which was bubbling with water, and in the boiling water, there were only some rotten vegetable leaves and a few grains of corn, and a weak woman's voice came from the shed: "Duoduo, okay, come in quickly, your father is dying." ”

Hearing this, he suddenly shook his whole body, like five thunderbolts, stunned for a moment, and trotted forward.

Excitedly grabbed the little girl's shoulders and said, "Duoduo, Duoduo, it's really you, Duoduo, I'm Brother Li Shi." Looking at the little girl in front of him, he couldn't help but wet his eyes.

Duoduo was stunned and muttered: "Brother Li Shi, Brother Li Shi." It's like remembering something.

Suddenly, the brilliance in his eyes lit up: "Brother Xiao, you are Brother Xiao." He turned his head to look into the hut and took his hand and ran towards it

shouted as he ran: "Daddy, I've found Brother Li Shi, come and see." Reaching out to pick up the skinny Duoduo, he walked over, and the messy shack was filled with an unpleasant smell.

Bending in, two withered old men came into view.

"Uncle Wang, auntie." As he spoke, he picked up Wang Er, who had fallen into a coma with thick sores all over his body. The blue light in his hand emanated, and he turned his head and said, "Auntie, come with me, I'll take you to eat something." ”

As he spoke, he picked up Wang Er, led Duoduo with one hand, and returned to the inn.

Ordered some food to come up, and let Wang and Duoduo eat it slowly first. Li Shi fed Wang Er a pill and spent some spiritual power, only to see that the situation on his body improved as seen by the naked eye.

It turned out that before that day, Wang Er took his family to a distant place to visit relatives, and on the way back, he heard about the barbarian village, so he didn't dare to go back to the village, and begged all the way to Blackwater City to beg for a living.

Speaking of the past, Li Shi was silent for a long time, told the ins and outs of the matter, and asked the two for forgiveness.

After recuperating at the inn for a few days, Li Shi decided to take the three of them back to Aokimen.

In the palace, the place where everyone was in retreat was covered by a large array, and today was the time for everyone to leave the customs, Zhao Qi came to the door early to wait.

The shield slowly dissipated, and everyone had already gathered and was about to exchange cultivation experiences, when several runes flew into the main hall.

Li Fengchun's face turned pale and said, "I'll take the first step." With that, without waiting for everyone to react, he hurriedly left the main hall and went straight to the teleportation array.

"This Netherworld Palace is such a ruthless method, this is killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys." Xuanshui Palace Lord Zhao Yu sighed.

"It seems that we also need to join forces, they are ruthless, slaughtering villages and destroying doors at every turn, it is not the right way, and the heads of the sects need to be cautious." Bai Susu is worried about the authentic.

"You don't need to worry, starting tomorrow, the United Royal Family will send people to strengthen the monitoring of the chaotic party, and if it is discovered, it will definitely help." Zhao Tianming walked into the main hall. "The royal family will crusade against the traitors in half a year, and I don't know if all the Taoist friends can help."

"The immortal gate that acts like this should be destroyed." Bai Susu responded. "We will help you with all your might. It's just that the royal family is also asked to treat the people well afterwards and strengthen supervision. ”

"As the Taoist said. Thank you so much. Zhao Tianming nodded.

"Xuanshui Palace will also help." Xuanshui Palace Zhao Yu then said.

"My Heavenly Sword Sect has few personnel, and there are even fewer Yuan Ying, at this time, I have already made a move, so I will be counted as one of them at that time." Dao Wanming said.

"That's very good, here are some materials to upgrade the Protector Array, you go back and transform the Protector Array first, so as not to catch fire in the backyard then." As he spoke, he handed out a few storage bags.

Everyone had no intention of communicating, fearing that their own sect would be attacked, so they left one after another.

Only Zhao Qi's father and daughter were left in the hall, and Zhao Tianming said again: "Qi'er, if you have a heart for Li Shi, your father will not object, but he is afraid that he will not have the heart to talk about this child's private affairs in a short time. Although there is also some chance and strength, I am afraid that it will still take time, and it is even more dangerous during the growth period, and if you are not careful, you will be in danger of falling. You should think carefully and do not act hastily. ”

"Father, what are you talking about, he and I are just ordinary Taoist friends, and we don't have that kind of mind yet, but this matter is caused by the royal family, and my father has to help him. lest people say that I am royal and unkind. Zhao Qi responded.

"The father has his own considerations about this matter, but the people of Aoki are in a hurry, you take these things, run to the Aoki Gate, and help the father appease him." As he spoke, he handed out a storage bag.

After sweeping the spiritual sense, he found that many of them were now needed by Aokimen, and he smiled and said, "What about Li Shi?" ”

"Regarding him, I have my own arrangements, you go to Qingmenmu first, and then you will know." Zhao Qi said yes, then turned around and went straight to Aoki Gate.

Outside the Aoki Mountain Gate, the sword light flashed, and Li Shi took Wang Er and his wife and Duoduo to show their figures.

I saw that on the steps, Zhao Qi, who was dressed in white, was looking at him with a smile, stepped forward to see the senior sister, and after introducing the three of them, he took everyone to see the master.

"Duoduo, do you still want to learn to heal and save people?" Li Shi asked.

"I think, Duoduo wants to be a good doctor, just like Yao Lao." When everyone heard Yao Lao, there was silence again.

The reconstruction of the Aoki Mountain Gate has been completed, and the three of them have been settled, and Duoduo is worshipping under the door of the second sister Wang Shan.
