When it was close to dinner time, everyone restrained their emotions and did things, but during the meal, Erya, who usually loves to grab food with Xiaoshizi, took the initiative to push the plate to Xiaoshizi. The others followed suit, and the result was a pile of food in front of Xiaoshizi, forcing Xiaoshizi to eat two more bowls of rice.

After dinner, Xiaoshizi insisted on doing his job, and he put the bowl away, washed it, and put it back in its place.

After finishing his work, he looked at Chaohuan, who was reading a book by candlelight not far away.

It's not that Chao Huan doesn't do things, this is decided by the children themselves, Chao Huan usually picks medicine and sells money to feed a few people, they don't want to eat white rice, they contract the housework they can, and they take care of this small family in an orderly manner at a young age, except for some special circumstances, she usually doesn't need to do it at all.

Chao Huan noticed this line of sight, she looked up and found that it was a small pebble looking at her, so she smiled lightly.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Shizi wiped his hands full of water with a rag, and when the water was completely dry, he walked up to Chao Huan, as if he had made a great determination, and said, "Sister Shu, can you go with me?" ”

Chao Huan raised her eyebrows, she closed the book in her hand, stood up and said, "Then let's go." ”

Xiao Shizi took Chao Huan out of the door, but he didn't notice behind him, and He Yuan silently watched the departure of the two.

Every time they go too far, after all, it is a no-man's suburb, and it is not good if they encounter danger, so Xiaoshizi just walked about ten meters with Chaohuan, not only avoiding others, but also looking back to see the lights of the broken temple.

Walking to a place where the moonlight was shining, Chaohuan found a tree with the best light and leaned up, the moonlight shone on her face, and Xiaoshizi could clearly see the leisurely smile on her face.

She smiled softly, and her voice was shallow, beautiful like a fantasy, "What's wrong?" ”

But Xiaoshizi shuddered, he looked at Chao Huan and took a deep breath.

"Sister Shu... Yesterday was the day we went to Yunbeilou. ”

He said nervously, raised his head cautiously, looked at Shang Chaohuan's gaze, and finally made up his mind when he realized that the other party's eyes were still gentle.

"Sister Shu, how did we leave Yunbielou that day?"

This question was asked by He Yuan, and when He Yuan asked it, Xiao Shizi was stunned, and then pretended to be sad and said that he was too confused at the time to remember.

But Ji Yuan's question suddenly reminded him of this discordant point, in fact, he was indeed very confused, but he could still remember the warm palms when Chao Huan covered his eyes, and Chen Jie's fleeting shouts.

As if he had been choked by the throat, the shout disappeared so abruptly that the little pebble who remembered it later felt a little frightened.

He didn't dare to think about it, there was only Zhu Shu present besides him at that time, but Zhu Shu was just a mortal girl, how could he fight against three adult men with his bare hands? Besides, it still relies on absolute strength to crush it.

Little Stone was very scared, he had heard from the storyteller in the city that some spirits would take on the form of humans to deceive mortals, and after gaining their trust, they would eat them one by one, enjoying the painful struggle of mortals.

He struggled for a long time before he decided to ask Zhu Shu for clarification, after all... This is Sister Shu.

"Poof."

Chao Huan let out a laugh, she covered her lips, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked with a smile, she smiled, and Xiao Shizi was suddenly at a loss.

"I, did I say something wrong?"

His flustered voice even accelerated his heartbeat, and seeing that the child was about to cry urgently, Chao Huan wiped a tear from the corner of his eyes and stood up straight.

She thought for a moment and said, "Well, that's right, I killed those three people and brought you back, so what, is Xiaoshizi going to kill me?" ”

When Xiao Shizi heard this, he thought that this was indeed the case, but when he heard Chao Huan's last sentence, he subconsciously shook his head.

He said: "I, I don't want to kill Sister Shu, I know it's wrong to kill someone, but it's those three people who want to do bad to us first, this, this is called deserved!" ”

Although he is not very literate, Xiao Shizi has not listened to those stories, in the story, it is common sense to kill people to pay off debts and pay money, and those people want to harm Sister Shu, and they should be killed.

Hearing him say this, Chao Huan sighed and said, "You are a sensible child, but you shouldn't say that." It's not about killing people to pay off debts, it's just that because I'm better than them, I can kill them. ”

Xiaoshizi was stunned.

Chao Huan continued: "Many times, the contradictions between people can not be solved simply by who is the righteous party, in this world, it is always the strong who are respected, the strong feel that this matter is correct, even if it is murder and arson, it is reasonable, the strong feel that this is not right, then it is killing people to pay for their lives." ”

"Like now, you guessed that I'm not mortal, even if I don't mean well to you, then what can you do? You can't beat me, you can't kill me, and if I wanted to, I could easily kill you. ”

"But-" Xiao Shizi said anxiously: "But Sister Shu, you are Sister Shu, how can you think..."

"How do you know that I am Zhu Shu." Chao Huan smiled and said: "Maybe the Zhu Shu you know, the Zhu Shu who picked you up one by one and took care of you, has already been quietly killed by me, and then changed his appearance and replaced him." ”

Xiao Shizi was stunned, this fact was too cruel for him, this child who had been hit one after another couldn't help but shed tears, even if he cried, he retorted in a low voice: "But, but... You are... Sister Shu. ”

Chao Huan saw that the children were crying, and suddenly felt that she had said too much, she sighed, and stepped forward to touch the head of the pebble.

"I'm not a child anymore, don't cry when you encounter a little thing." Her tone was light, as light as a pure white cloud in the sky, and she didn't have the aggressive look she had just now.

Little Pebble sobbed, "I'm only ten years old, and I'm still a child." ”

"Okay, okay, you're still young, you can cry if you want to."

Pebble choked speechlessly.

Chao Huan looked at him with an uncomfortable look, and couldn't help it, and laughed out loud.

"Okay, I'm not kidding you. I am indeed Zhu Shu, and I am also your Sister Shu, but I am indeed not a mortal, I am a cultivator. She teased enough, and finally told the truth, she was afraid that if she continued to tease, she would cry more than a pebble.

Thinking of a group of children holding themselves and crying, Chao Huan felt a headache when he thought about it.

Xiao Shizi really stopped crying, he raised his head, and there were stars in his eyes, "Cultivator? Is it the kind of fairy who can fly in the air and turn his hands into clouds and rain as the storytellers in the teahouse? ”

"Yes, yes, but it's too late today, so I won't fly with you." Chao Huan lightly dispelled Xiaoshizi's impatience, and Xiaoshizi, who was recognized, lowered his head in discouragement, but a child is a child, and he soon kept talking.

"Sister Shu, why do you still pretend to be mortals to take care of us?" As if he thought of something, the light in his eyes brightened, and he said excitedly, "Is it because we can also become cultivators?" ”

Chao Huan Dun felt a little headache, it was too troublesome to explain, but it was not good not to explain and deceive the child, and finally said patiently: "I came because I was training, as for what the experience is, this is a secret, taking care of you is a level of experience." As for whether you can cultivate immortals or not, this is not something I can decide, it depends on your qualifications. ”

Xiao Shizi naturally asked for a while, what is the qualification, how to test, what qualification can cultivate immortals...

In the end, Erya came out to find someone, and only then did Chao Huan get rid of the hundred questions from the little stones, and she sighed deeply.

As she left, she pulled the pebble and said solemnly: "Today's conversation is a secret between the two of us, you can't tell anyone else, if they all know, I have to leave." ”

When Xiao Shizi heard that the consequences were so serious, he immediately became serious, and solemnly promised that he would keep it a secret, but he would not spread it.

Chao Huan nodded with satisfaction and let him go, probably because he had a big secret, Xiaoshizi was uncomfortable walking, and his immature face looked a little funny with a pretended mature expression.

Chao Huan smiled and was about to leave, but a person suddenly fell beside him.

"Is it fun to lie to a child?"

Chao Huan glanced at him, and was not angry: "You still listen to it?" ”

Lian Yunlan snorted coldly, and said, "In addition to me, there are other people who have listened to the whole process." ”

Chao Huan naturally knew that that person thought he was well hidden, but he could only deal with low-level cultivators and ordinary people, and there was nowhere to hide in front of Chao Huan and Lian Yunlan.

"It doesn't matter, just know it, that person is not a simple character, ordinary people can't attract him, since you want to attract his attention, you have to be special."

Lian Yunlan shrugged, but did not refute.

Chao Huan said: "Recently, help me keep an eye on him more, and tell me whenever there is anything wrong." By the way, how about Pei Ziyan's side. ”

Lian Yunlan said the news he had inquired about these days, "On the surface, she looks calm, but she has gone crazy in private, I have to say that she is really a crazy woman, in order to find Heyuan, she will do whatever it takes, and she is almost going to turn Fuliucheng over." Thanks to this, she has already offended many people, and even the city lord of Fuliu City is very dissatisfied with her, but he is afraid of the forces behind her, but he dares to be angry and dare not speak. ”

"Yes." Chao Huan nodded, "Let's make some trouble for Pei Ziyan, her hand can't be stretched out so long, and it's not yet time for He Yuan to go back." ”

"Okay." Lian Yunlan nodded, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, is the money still enough, I found a lot of silver money last time I suppressed that group of bandits, if it is not enough, I am going to find a bandit den to get you some." ”

Chao Huan remembered the silver ticket given by Lian Yunlan on the roof last time, and she said that where did Lian Yunlan get the money, it turned out to be a den of thieves.

She suddenly laughed, looking at Lian Yunlan's gaze was a little strange, Lian Yunlan was covered with goosebumps when she saw it, and finally she couldn't hold back, she didn't get angry: "What are you doing." ”

"I just want to say that it is worthy of sword cultivation, and it is easy to grab other people's things."

Lian Yunlan couldn't hear the ridicule in her words, and was angry: "Then don't use it." ”

"You're welcome, I've just been trying to buy a new material to make a new skirt recently."

"You!"
