Liao Yuling's father and daughter rented a very small house in the west of the city, and because it was not as good as the Monk's Inn, there was a Gathering Spirit Circle, so the rent of the house was not very expensive, and it was only half the price of the inn.

Nowadays, Liao Yuling's father often goes out to collect medicine in the mountains, so in the private house rented by the father and daughter, most of the time only Liao Yuling, a twelve-year-old girl, lives alone.

The western part of the city is a residential area with no shops, so it is not prosperous. Compared with the eastern part of the city, the flow of people is also much less, so it is very quiet.

At night, in the dead of night, the monks who lived nearby could often hear the sound of a little girl sobbing from nowhere.

This afternoon.

Liao Yuling led a white-haired woman home, and the neighbors who knew Liao Yuling were very curious about where this little girl came back from the beautiful female cultivator. The neighbors only knew that she had a father, and they had never seen her mother look like, and when they saw this scene, they couldn't help but secretly speculate about her relationship with the white-haired woman.

It was not the first time Hua Ying had been a guest at Liao Yuling's house, she had been here a few times before. It's just that it was all night, and it didn't attract attention, and it was the first time that the sky was still bright like today.

She didn't care about the strange eyes of those neighbors, and followed Liao Yuling straight into her house.

"Sister Ying, you sit down and rest for a while, and I'll pour you some tea to drink."

The house rented by Liao Yuling's family is not very large, only one hall, one stove room, two bedrooms, and a small courtyard planted with all kinds of flowers and vegetables.

Hua Ying just wanted to say that there was no need to bother, but Liao Yuling had already pushed open the door of the hall and walked in.

She had no choice but to squat there and observe the flowers and plants in the yard.

The fields in the courtyard are not spiritual fields, they are only mundane plants, and they do not have any spiritual power on them.

Hua Ying hadn't eaten mortal food for a long time, and for monks, it was difficult for mortal food to quench hunger, so if you wanted to satisfy your hunger, you had to eat some food rich in spiritual energy or take Bigu Dan directly.

Most of the flowers and vegetables planted in the courtyard in front of me are only for ornamental purposes.

After a while, Liao Yuling came over with a cup of tea.

"Sister Ying, this is some good tea that my father bought last time he came back. I told my father about you, and after knowing that he had a sister who took good care of me, he told me that if my sister came to the house again, he would ask me to entertain my sister with these teas. ”

"Tea?"

Hua Ying got up when she heard this, and she was not polite, she took the teacup and smothered the tea in her stomach, "Hey, this spiritual tea is not bad, it can faintly improve some cultivation." ”

Liao Yuling grinned and said, "Yes, my father bought a total of two taels of tea, and I was so distressed that I didn't sleep well for a few days." ”

“.”

Hearing this, Hua Ying instantly felt that this cup of spiritual tea was precious.

It is not easy for the father and daughter to practice here, and in order to entertain themselves, they also bought such expensive tea, which is really heartfelt.

It was not early, and after drinking a few cups of tea, the two went to cook porridge and cook.

Liao Yuling didn't know how to cook, so he could only follow Hua Ying and secretly steal the teacher.

Soon in the evening, the two had already had dinner.

"Sister Yuling, if there is nothing else, my sister will go back first, you live alone, you must be careful"

Hua Ying glanced at the sky outside the house, thinking that it was time to go back to the inn, so she got up and prepared to say goodbye to the little girl beside her.

never thought about it, but Liao Yuling was not very willing to Hua Ying to leave, and pulled Hua Ying's shirt with her little hand and said:

"Sister Ying, it's still early, let's play for a while, okay? I have two quilts in the house, sister, if you don't go back, it's okay to stay here for one night."

The thought of having to live alone in a dark room again tonight, with no one to accompany her, made her panic for a moment, and blinked her eyes in deep uneasiness.

"This"

Hua Ying looked at the little girl in front of her with a little crying and laughing, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.

Speaking of which, this girl is not young, she is already twelve years old, so she can't dare to sleep alone, right?

Back then, when I was twelve years old, I was alone every night when I drilled my sister's bed

Well, after thinking about it carefully, Hua Ying suddenly found that she didn't seem to be very bold at Liao Yuling's age, and when the wolf howled in the middle of the night, she often drilled into her senior sister's quilt without saying anything, and occasionally slipped into the master's room to sleep, and she couldn't get rid of it.

For a while, Hua Ying's face was ashamed.

However, although this is the case, Hua Ying will not admit it easily, she pretended to be calm and said with a straight face:

"No, no, you have to know how to be self-reliant, you always want to rely on adults, when will you grow up? Do you know that when my sister is your age, she hasn't been afraid of the dark for a long time! Not to mention sleeping alone, even if you sleep in the cemetery, you won't be afraid of anything! ”

"Wow! Sister Ying is so powerful! ”

Liao Yuling's eyebrows opened, and he exclaimed, as if he was in disbelief, and soon said in a very firm tone, "Then I will sleep in the cemetery like Sister Ying in the future!" ”

"Uh, that's not what I meant."

Hua Ying smiled reluctantly, and while Liao Yuling was not paying attention, she quickly changed the topic, "Okay, I won't tell you more, it's not too early today, my sister will come to see you another day!" ”

"Oh well"

Liao Yuling was still a little lost, but there was no reason to stay with the other party, so he had to let him go.

She stood under the eaves in a daze, watching Hua Ying's figure gradually walk towards the door, her heart was sour for a while, and she almost couldn't hold back her tears.

Hua Ying walked to the door and sighed secretly.

Although she couldn't bear it, she couldn't watch a good boy gradually degenerate. People have to grow up after all, and it will not be possible to hide behind their sister forever.

Pushing open the door, Hua Ying was about to leave, but when she saw a figure standing outside the door, she was stunned.

The man didn't seem to expect the door to open suddenly, and he wanted to dodge in a little hurry, but he was worried that this move would attract the suspicion of the other party, so he didn't move, he didn't move, so he had to stand there awkwardly.

"You are."

Hua Ying looked at the person in front of her curiously, and a suspicious look flashed on her face.

The man was about forty years old, not tall, slightly chubby, with small, round eyes, a mustache on his chin, dressed like a wealthy merchant, and behaved a little sneakily.

Seeing this, Hua Ying suddenly recalled the monk uncle Liao Yuling had mentioned to her in the afternoon, and her heart became vigilant, and her brows instantly furrowed.

"Ahem. Contemptible Jia Qingyuan, may I ask if this is Liao's Mansion? ”
