Zhang Zheng looked at him in surprise and didn't answer for a while.

The boy did not flinch, and pretended to look directly at her fiercely, and his hands tightly clasped together behind his back trembled, he wanted to live, he must go out.

Zhang Zheng frowned, not because the boy in front of him angered her, but because he reminded her of something.

Even if she finds Ninety-Nine, how should she place her?

Either find a family to take care of the orphans, or bring them back to the cultivation realm.

The former is too risky, the years of cultivation are changing rapidly, she can't visit and take care of it from time to time, if she entrusts someone else, she will push people into the demon cave with her own hands.

The latter is also a problem, not to mention whether they have spiritual roots or not, even if they do, the pain of cultivating the truth may not be as good as staying in the mundane and living a fireworks life for just a hundred years, at least warm and stable.

Thinking of something, Zhang Zheng suddenly smiled, why worry now, their lives are decided by themselves, and they are worried about making decisions for others.

Acting on behalf of others also adds to the troubles.

The boy who was staring at her suddenly smiled and didn't know what she meant, and was afraid that she wouldn't agree, so he couldn't help but bite his lip nervously.

"Okay, I promise you, but I can only take you out, and you have to choose the way back."

When the boy saw that she had agreed, a big stone finally fell in his heart, and he did not pay attention to the meaning of the choice she had said.

Following the boy around the refugee area, he finally saw the little girl under a dilapidated shed.

The girl stared at Zhang Zheng in horror, her body writhing in fear and was about to shrink into the corner, but she was already in the corner, where was there a place for her to hide.

The boy hurriedly knelt beside her, wrapped his thin arms around the girl's equally thin body, and whispered comfortingly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." We can leave, and I'll protect you. ”

Jiujiu's wide-eyed eyes burst into tears uncontrollably, and Zhang Zheng looked at this scene, his heart aching as if he was being grabbed by a big hand.

She stepped forward in a few steps, one hand gently pressed against her forehead, and the soft and warm white light spread from the place, and Jiujiu's frightened expression gradually calmed down under the effect of the white light.

The boy looked at her in surprise, and immediately lowered his head to hide the inexplicable emotion in his eyes.

If Zhang Zheng noticed his eyes at this moment, it would feel familiar, because the boy's eyes were the same as the look she had when she first learned that there were cultivators in the world.

Amazement, envy, yearning, and deepest longing.

Zhang Zheng hugged the sleeping Jiujiu, and took the boy out of the city in full view of everyone.

It is the twilight of autumn, the tall trees are all dressed in autumn colors, dressed in pale yellow and half makeup, the fallen leaves are dashing, and the insects are singing and mocking.

The sleepy Jiujiu woke up to find himself in a strange open place, and there was a strange sister standing with her back to her in front of her.

She was a little scared, and quietly pulled the boy's clothes next to her, "Brother Yin Shu." ”

The boy ran through her boring hair and soothed, "Don't be afraid, she's a good person, someone your grandmother knows." ”

Zhang Zheng turned his head to Jiujiu and pulled out a soft smile that was extremely gentle and was about to drip water.

"Hello Jiujiu, your grandmother specially asked me to look for you, my name is Zhang Zheng."

Grandmother......

Jiujiu's crystal clear eyes quickly burst into tears, and the fog was pitiful.

Zhang ...... Sister Zhang Zheng, grandmother...... What happened to Grandma? ”

Zhang Zheng paused, she would always know, giving her hope now would only make her suffer with her slim hope in the future.

"Have you ever seen the stars at night? Grandma went to the sky and became one of the stars. ”

The scene fell silent, and only Jiujiu sobbed silently.

Zhang Zheng felt that he really couldn't comfort people, and it was useless to dry the pestle here.

After instructing the boy to take care of Jiujiu here, Zhang Zheng disappeared in the mountains and forests in a few steps.

After a while, Jiujiu also slowly stopped crying under Yin Shu's comfort, but his mood was still a little low.

Zhang Zheng also rushed back, carrying a bag of roast duck, two bowls of vegetable porridge and two steamed buns, as well as two simple clothes.

After finding a clean stone to cushion, Zhang Zheng opened the oiled paper bag, and the fragrance of roast duck wafted out and into the noses of the two children, making their empty stomachs growl.

"Hungry, come and eat. I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I bought some casually. Let's put on new clothes after eating. ”

The two children looked at each other, said thank you, and began to feast.

They hadn't had enough to eat for days, let alone such a hearty meal.

Seeing that they were eating happily, Zhang Zheng was a little happy in her heart, and finally her hunting was not in vain.

Of course, she didn't hunt for this, she was penniless, and her skills at roasting game were really not good.

I could only rely on the hunting prey to go to the city to exchange for silver taels, and then use the silver taels to buy food.

I checked the remaining string of copper plates in my pocket, and I felt happy to listen to the crisp sound of metal clattering.

Thinking happily, with her cultivation, she can't starve to death even if she is a mortal, and maybe she can become a rich man by hunting.

After a full meal and new clothes, Zhang Zheng gave them a cleaning technique, and the two dirty little ones took on a new look.

Except for some yellow and thin skin, it is not at all obvious that they have wandered.

Facing Shang Jiujiu's shy and dependent gaze, Zhang Zheng smiled gently.

"Next, you have to make your own choices in life, I hope you can think about it, and don't regret it when you think about it in the future."

Zhang Zheng carefully briefed them on the situation in the cultivation realm, especially emphasizing the dangers and obstacles.

In the same way, she also tried to analyze as completely as possible the possible consequences of staying in the mundane and cultivation realms.

"If you decide to stay in the mortal world, I will help you find a town to settle down in, and leave you some money."

"If you want to enter the True Realm with me, then I probably won't be able to provide you with any substantial help, and everything will depend on you. The most important thing is that even if I bring you into the cultivation realm, if you find out that you don't have a spiritual root, you can only be a mortal. ”

They were just two eight- or nine-year-old children, powerless, powerless, and unreliable, stepping into the cruel and ruthless cultivation realm alone, and perhaps the next day would be their time of death.

Jiujiu, who had always been cowardly, suddenly raised his head and asked, "If I become a monk, will I be able to defeat the bad guys in the town?" ”

"Not necessarily, the road to cultivating the truth is long and indefinite, and talent, luck, and heart are indispensable. Of course, as long as you work hard enough, maybe that day will come. ”

After all, it is the nature of a child, how can he not yearn for the magnificence and strangeness of the cultivation world.

Even if he knew that there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead, the child only remembered that there was a galaxy on the other side.

After thinking about it for a long time, the two children looked up to their innocent and bright faces, "I want to study the true realm." ”

"Okay."
