Chapter 22: You Liar

The woman was still sick, her face was pale and she didn't look strong.

"Auntie, these days, it's better for you to go out less, Xingluo City has not been peaceful recently", Lu Ming pulled Xiao Yuhan to the woman's side.

"Today, because of me, I almost caused Yuhan to be abducted", Lu Ming gritted his teeth and told what happened, but he concealed a series of events such as murder.

"I'm sorry, I'm ashamed of your expectations, I didn't look forward to Xiao Yuhan", Lu Ming bowed to the woman, although he didn't blame him, he did his best, but in the face of a mother, or a mother who almost lost her child, he thought he should apologize to her.

"You lie, you promise me not to say it", Xiao Yuhan hurriedly said a sentence, shook off Lu Ming's hand, pointed at Lu Ming, and blushed.

"It's okay, child, you've done your best", the sick woman walked in, suddenly hugged Lu Ming in her arms, and gently touched his hair.

"You don't need to feel guilty, it's not your fault, it's that I didn't take into account that the recent Star Luo City is so dangerous", the woman's voice was very soft, with the scent of bellflowers on her body, and the shabby clothes did not hide her gentle heart.

"Xiao Han, say goodbye to your friend", the woman pulled Xiao Yuhan up and coughed twice, her pale face seemed to be dyed a little red under the light.

"Mom, can I still come and play with him in the future?" Xiao Yuhan tugged at the corner of the woman's clothes, lowered her head and asked.

The woman slowly squatted down, kissed Xiao Yuhan on the cheek, and then hugged the girl hard.

"There will be a chance, mom won't lie to you, okay, say goodbye to your little friend."

"Brother Lu Ming, goodbye", Xiao Yuhan took the woman's hand and whispered to the corner of her mouth.

Every time he took two steps, he looked back at Lu Ming, shrugged his little head, and tugged at the corner of his mother's clothes.

The mother and daughter gradually disappeared into the setting sun, leaving only a faint scent of bellflowers, and the breeze blew away, blowing away what was left. It seems that these two have never been here.

The guests in the tavern gradually ran out, and Old Man Lu was not ready to open again, closed the door, put up a sign that was temporarily closed, and served two bowls of porridge.

In front of the wooden dining table, the two of them drank the porridge one by one, no one spoke first, as if it was an agreement, and the whole tavern only had the occasional sound of two people drinking porridge and the stinging sound of insufficient burning of lamp oil.

After a long time, Old Man Lu finally couldn't help it anymore and took the lead in breaking the silence.

"What's the matter", Old Man Lu naturally didn't believe that Lu Ming could outwit a trafficker's den, he didn't think that Lu Ming could quietly rescue the girl without being discovered.

"I found a den of human trafficking, I killed them", Lu Ming's voice was calm, as if he was saying something very ordinary, but his pale face was not as calm as his voice.

"Did you leave any traces?" Old man Lu didn't ask about what happened as carefully as Lu Ming imagined, nor did he comfort him.

"There shouldn't be, no one knows that I did it, no one in the alley saw all this, I also soiled my clothes and messed up my hair before I went, no one should be able to recognize it", Lu Ming looked down at the porridge in the bowl, and muttered quietly while stirring with a spoon.

"It's good that there are no traces, and things like this can't leave a trace. There must be some backing behind them," Old Man Lu paused for a moment after saying this, and looked up at Lu Ming's pale face.

"Xiao Ming, you don't have to feel guilty, you did the right thing, they died innocently, I don't know how many families are hurt because of them every year", Old Man Lu spoke in a very small voice and spoke very slightly.

"I'm not guilty, I just feel ...... I couldn't accept it for a while, the tragic situation and wails of those people stayed in my mind, and I could see that scene as soon as I closed my eyes", Lu Ming took a sip of soup and suppressed the disgusting feeling in his heart.

"It will get better slowly, Xiao Ming, this world is like this, weak people can't control their own destiny."

"Killing people is just a very normal thing in the soul master world, because of love and hatred, entanglement of interests, countless people are killed every year, and you will slowly get used to it."

"This world is like this, the only difference between humans and soul beasts is that people can wear clothes, and people know how to flaunt themselves under the guise of all kinds of unwarranted nobility."

"Children who will get better slowly, if you want to protect yourself, you must learn to be cruel and cruel to everything that wants to hurt you."

Old man Lu's eyes kept staring at Lu Ming, and his pupils reflected Lu Ming's appearance of bowing his head and drinking porridge, and there was an indescribable emotion in his eyes.

"Grandpa, I'm going to sleep, you rest early", Lu Ming finished drinking the porridge, and then went upstairs and returned to his room.

"Hey, Xiao Ming, I hope you grow up soon", Old Man Lu muttered to himself for a while, and then took out the old and shiny notebook in the dim light, writing something tremblingly.

The right hand under the light seemed to be constantly calling, trembling uncontrollably, and Old Man Lu kept muttering in his mouth, with a trace of haze on his face.

Lu Ming returned to the house and began to remake the charms, after today's events, many charms have been consumed a little, and they need to be replenished in time.

Beautiful metal pieces were carved out one by one, shining with the infusion of soul power, until the lines on the last metal piece were carved and the consumed spells were replenished again.

"What the hell is this", Lu Ming took out the blue stone given by the strange man, he didn't know what this stone was for, but he vaguely felt in his heart that it was a good material for making talismans.

Looking at the gloomy sky outside the window, the dull uneasiness came back to him, and this uneasiness tended to make him want to improve his strength as soon as possible.

No matter how much it is, let's try to make him into a charm and trust your feelings.

Lu Ming took out the quill, injected soul power, and prepared to make this stone into a shelter charm and give it to Old Man Lu, after all, Old Man Lu is old, if something bad happens, the Shelter Charm can save Old Man Lu.

And he himself can completely scrape together the quantity and mass, and use a large number of protection charms to protect himself.

As the pen fell on the stone, a powerful suction force erupted from the stone, and Lu Ming's soul power seemed to have fallen into the abyss, bottomless.

"This stone is really different", this strange situation made Lu Ming feel that he had found the right way, exhausted his soul power, and left two strokes on the stone.

The two strokes are insignificant for a whole spell pattern, but Lu Ming was not discouraged, which showed that what he did was effective, and the absorption of this soul power also made Lu Ming firmly believe that the spell he made had a powerful ability.

It's okay like this, after consuming the soul power, it will also help the cultivation, Lu Ming put the stone into the drawer and crossed his knees on the bed to cultivate.

There seemed to be monsters breeding in the calm night outside the window, and a breeze blew through, blowing away Lu Ming's hair.

......

From this day on, Lu Ming returned to a calm and boring day, got up in the morning to carve stones, and then meditated and cultivated, ate, visited the store, chatted with Grandma Zheng next door, and waited until his soul power recovered to continue carving stones.

However, the peaceful days were not destined to last long, and after a month, most of the stone lines were carved and an uninvited guest was ushered in in this calm tavern.
