Chapter Forty-Eight: Anseong
Xu Jiang felt guilty when he heard this, he was hesitating here, but the little girl had already found a step for herself in understanding.
Gritting his teeth, thinking that there would only be a few meals, and he would look for it in the past few days to see if he could find a job for her, so that she could settle down and not be hungry and full like now!
After Xu Jiang decided, "Do you want to live in my house first, share a room with my mother, and then make plans when you find a job?" ”
Xue Huaijin hurriedly refused: "No, no, I'll go to the guest house!" ”
Xu Jiang thought that Xue Huaijin was lying to him, because he didn't want to cause trouble for him, and he was even more determined to help her.
Xue Huaijin couldn't take out the spirit stone to prove that she was rich, after all, she had just said that she was hungry and fainted.
In the end, it was difficult to refuse, so I had to follow the boy home.
I thought, "Well, I'll go out for a walk tomorrow, and I'll say I'll sell my things, get some money, and move out again."
I really want to pump myself, why is it not good, I have to say that I am hungry and faint, I can't be tired and dizzy?
You can't take out the money you have!
On the way back......
"My name is Xu Jiang, what's your name?"
"Xue Huaijin"
"You look about my age, I'm eleven years old, how old are you?"
"I'm eleven years old, and we're the same age!"
"By the way, you...... Is it the family suffering? Xu Jiang asked cautiously.
Xue Huaijin......
Gotta keep making it up!
"I ...... After my father died unexpectedly, my stepmother kicked me out of the house, and I started to go north, planning to go to Xianmen to apprentice, and that's it. ”
"You also have a spiritual root?" Xu Jiang asked in surprise.
"Yes, Linggen's qualifications are average, but I still want to try," Xue Huaijin looked at Xu Jiang after speaking, "You have it too?" ”
"Yes, I just tested it out last year that it was Fire Spirit Root 67." Xu Jiang said happily.
"Last year? Didn't I remember saying that you can test your soul root for free every year? Xue Huaijin asked strangely.
Xu Jiang looked happy, "It is true that there is a free test of the spiritual root every year, and I have also tested it, but there is no spiritual root, until last year, the spiritual root was detected, although the qualification is not very good, but there is a good one, so that I can be a law cultivator, and there will be many ways to earn spiritual stones." ”
"Do you want to be a Dharma cultivator?" Xue Huaijin stopped and asked.
Xu Jiang also stopped and looked at Xue Huaijin: "You are also a Fa cultivator?" ”
"Yes, I'm in the middle stage of Qi refining now!" Xue Huaijin did not hide his cultivation, his general qualifications were only cultivating Fa cultivation since he was a child, and now he is normal in the middle stage of Qi refining.
The reason why I am so slow is because of my fellow Dharma practitioners.
Xu Jiang said happily: "I have just entered the early stage of Qi training now. ”
Xue Huaijin: "Congratulations! ”
Xu Jiang arched his hand: "You are the same, I wish you to enter the fairy gate as soon as possible and worship the good teacher!" ”
Xu Jiang thought of his previous thoughts and asked, "Then are you planning to continue your departure, or do you want to stay in Ancheng for a while?" ”
Xue Huaijin didn't know either, but it was the same for her to go anywhere, she hadn't been here, and she was only in the middle stage of Qi refining, so it was not suitable for running around, since she was placed in Ancheng, then she would have been training in Ancheng for half a year!
"Compared with worshipping the immortal gate, life is more important, I will work in Ancheng first to earn some spirit stones, and then nourish my body, I don't want to be hungry and faint next time."
Xu Jiang nodded in agreement, "I will also help you, after all, I am familiar here!" ”
"Okay, then it's a lot of trouble for you, there will be a thank you gift when it happens!" Xue Huaijin promised.
Xu Jiang hurriedly waved his hand, "It's just a small thing, it's just a small thing!" ”
Xue Huaijin disagreed: "It's a small thing for you, but it's a big thing for me, it should be!" ”
……
The two of them walked more and more remotely, and just when Xue Huaijin doubted whether he had seen the wrong person, he turned a corner, came out of the alley, and met a large residential area in front of him, but compared to the exquisite yards seen in the alley before, the yards here are relatively narrow and dilapidated.
When I came to Xu Jiang's house, there were only two rooms in a small courtyard, and a stove built under the eaves.
"Jiang'er, are you back?" A simple woman walked out.
Xu Jiang responded: "Mother, it's me who came back, I brought a friend, and she borrowed it for a few days." ”
Yang was surprised when he saw that it was a girl, but he still welcomed her warmly: "No problem, but the girl is delicate, I'm afraid that I will turn over at night and surprise her, so let's go to your Aunt Yang's house to borrow a low couch, and I will sleep on the low couch for the past two days." ”
Xue Huaijin hurriedly said: "I can't help it, I can't help it!" Auntie, how can I bother the elders to give in, I am small, I am small, I just sleep on a low couch.
No, I don't have to sleep when I practice at night, I almost forgot! Xue Huaijin slapped his forehead and was speechless to himself.
This time, both Yang and Xu Jiang were amused, and the atmosphere was less polite and more cordial.
Leaving Xue Huaijin at home, Xu Jiang and his mother went to the neighbor's house to move the low couch, and by the way, they told their mother about the cause and effect.
Yang: "You don't have to worry about my opposition, you haven't done anything wrong, everyone has difficulties outside, do what you can, since you can help, then help." ”
"Yes...... But our family ......" Xu Jiang couldn't continue, he caused trouble to his mother, and today he used the extra reward money to buy meat buns for his mother, but ......
Yang touched his son's head and comforted: "It doesn't hinder anything, it's just a matter of a few meals, anyway, we owe so much, it's not bad!" ”
That being said, Yang still plans to eat less in the past two days, and there are no special circumstances, and he will pay back as much as he says.
The master's house was not there, and Xue Huaijin was not easy to walk around, so he saw a water tank next to him, walked a few steps, and looked at the water.
"This ......" Xue Huaijin tried to pinch his face, and the shadow on the water did the same.
No wonder he said that he was hungry and faint, Xu Jiang did not have any doubts, he was now looking like he had been malnourished for a long time.
The appearance has not changed, but this thin and out-of-appearance appearance is almost like two people from the previous self.
The sect has thought too carefully about this!
I touched my face again, and although there were no wrinkles, it felt rough.
"I hope it recovers!" This will make Xue Huaijin really want to cry, it's too ugly! She's never been so ugly!
She has been eating more lately to see if she can get fat!
After Xu Jiang and his mother came back, Xue Huaijin hurriedly stepped forward to help.
After everything was settled, Yang steamed two egg custards for Xue Huaijin and heated a steamed bun, "I didn't prepare today, I was sluggish!" ”
Xue Huaijin hurriedly thanked him: "It's very good, I love egg custard the most!" Seeing that only he had food in front of him, Xu Jiang had already gone to the yard to start chopping wood, and Yang picked up the needlework and worked to sew and mend clothes, "Don't you eat?" ”
Yang urged: "We came back after eating outside, you eat quickly, it won't taste good if it's cold." ”
"Good!" Xue Huaijin was about to eat egg custard, and the hand that picked up the spoon paused.
After all, it has been four and a half years since the Dharma Body initiate, even if Xu Jiang and the Yang family deliberately stayed away, but her facial features were now sharp, and she could clearly hear the rumbling of the two of them's stomachs.
Combined with the environment of the yard, it is not difficult to know the truth.
