Chapter 159: Old Acquaintances
Turning from Fengwu City to the south, the five of them walked all the way to play, and by the way, they got rid of demons.
With their strength, the little demons and little demons are really not enough, and the demons are empty everywhere they go, and they are clear.
A month later, Qingyun City arrived.
The carriage drove into the city gate, and Ji Xingge looked at it.
After a while, she was a little disappointed, "It's nothing special."
Bai Mengjin smiled: "Qingyun City is just a small city, there are few monks, how can there be anything new?"
As she spoke, the carriage arrived near the Yuelao Temple, and she said, "Let's go, please eat."
Carefully calculated, she has been away from home for more than ten years, and she is quite nostalgic for the taste of her hometown at first glance.
"Where's your home?" Is there anyone else?" Ling Bufei had a bowl of fried stinky tofu in his hand, frowning for a while, and smiling again, not knowing whether it was delicious or not.
Bai Mengjin pointed to the east: "The White Mansion used to be there, but now it's someone else's."
When she and her brother and sister left, under the witness of Changling Zhenren, they ceded the power of the Bai family to Elder Yi Ming's nephew. There is no way to do this, all the people in the family who can cultivate are dead, and as soon as the three of them leave, the rest of the people will not be able to occupy the territory at all.
"There should be some side branches, but they are all mortals, and their blood ties are relatively far away."
As he was talking, the light in front of him was suddenly blocked, and Bai Mengjin raised his head and saw a woman carrying a bamboo basket standing in front of him.
"Miss? Is that you, Miss?" The other party was first incredulous, and then excited.
Bai Mengjin frowned: "You ......"
"I'm Xiaomei!" The woman said excitedly, reaching out to wipe her face, "Don't you recognize me?"
May? Bai Mengjin remembered that it was the little girl who came to serve her at the beginning.
"It's you!" Bai Mengjin looked her up and down, and couldn't help but be surprised, "Why are you like this?"
Xiaomei was only in her early tens, and more than ten years later, she was twenty-four or twenty-four years old, but she looked haggard and old with a face, and said that people believed her in her thirties and forties. The clothes on his body are also very shabby, and there are patches everywhere. The basket is piled with wilting leaves, which look like they were picked up from the market and others don't want.
Looking at her like this, Xiaomei couldn't help but shrink back, revealing a cowardly smile: "Let Miss see you smile......
Bai Mengjin asked directly, "Why are you like this? When we left, we transferred you to the Yi family. Although he is a slave and a maid, he will not be without food or drink, right?"
"Miss." Speaking of this, Xiaomei burst into tears, "It's great that you're back, please save us......
-----------------
"Several, please." Xiaomei said embarrassedly, "The noble man stepped on the ground, it's too dirty here, I'm really embarrassed."
Ling Bufei shook his head: "It's okay."
Seeing that he looks like a celestial person, but his speech and demeanor are kind, Xiaomei can't help but feel happy for Miss. More than ten years have passed, and the young lady has not only achieved success in her own cultivation, but also has such a fiancé, and finally did not suffer in vain when she was a child.
The five of them followed Xiaomei into the alley—it was said to be an alley, but in fact it was just a thatched hut made of wooden planks, stones, hay, etc., one after the other, twisted and irregular.
The ground was covered with mud, debris was thrown next to it, and flies and mosquitoes were flying. As you can imagine, if it is a rainy day, there will be a side flow of sewage, and there will be no place to put your feet.
Ji Xingge had never seen such a place, and covered his nose and asked, "Can people really live here?"
Xiaomei showed a cramped smile: "There is no place, so I can only live." Miss, go this way, don't get your shoes dirty."
The monks have their own spiritual protection and do not stain their clothes and shoes. But looking at such an environment, what you have to overcome is a psychological barrier.
At this time, there were not many people in the alley, and a few thin and dark children were running around, and when they suddenly saw a few of them, they almost thought they were dazzled and looked at them with a blank eye.
Ji Xingge was kind-hearted, and when he saw a child who was at most three or four years old sucking his dirty fingers, his face was full of his longing, no
I couldn't help but hand him a few pieces of pastry I had just bought.
In an instant, her action seemed to light a fire, and those children who had been watching from a distance suddenly rushed over to this side, their eyes like hungry young wolves.
"Give it to me! Give it to me!"
"Me too!"
Ji Xingge was startled, and just as the children were about to grab her sleeve, Ying Shaoguang waved his fan and pressed them firmly in place.
"Don't move! Not only did you have no food, but you also had to be beaten!" It was scary for him to pull down his face, and those children really didn't dare to move.
Ji Xingge gave them all the pastries and snacks.
Ying Shaoguang withdrew his mana and said, "Okay, eat it all, don't rob others!"
"Gongzi Xie! Miss Xie!" Some of the older children cleverly thanked them.
The crowd moved on, and their hearts became heavy.
Fortunately, the road ahead was not far away, and Xiaomei stopped in front of a thatched house, rubbed her hands, and said uneasily, "Miss, it's here. The house is a little dirty, please bear with me."
She pushed open the door, and a stench came over her. It was dark inside, and Bai Mengjin narrowed his eyes, adjusting to the dim light.
The room was small, with a bed made of unknown shape in the corner, a crooked table of unknown color, and a half-broken cabinet on the wall. There was a pile of hay in the corner of the house, and a girl who was slightly cleaner than the children outside was sitting.
"Mother?" She called timidly, looking uneasily at the guests outside.
In such a small room, five people probably couldn't squeeze in, so Bai Mengjin simply didn't set foot in the house.
Xiaomei put down the basket, took out the cake that Bai Mengjin bought for her just now, and handed it over happily: "Ah Rou, what did my mother bring back?" Mother is lucky today, I actually met Miss! Come on, I've come to see Miss."
The girl's eyes lit up, and she came over to greet her.
After Bai Mengjin nodded, she took the cake and stuffed it into her mouth, looking very hungry.
Xiaomei touched her head lovingly and said, "You stay, my mother has something to tell Miss."
The girl's mouth was so stuffed that she couldn't spare time to speak, so she nodded vigorously.
Xiaomei came out of the house and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, miss, we don't even have a stool, so we can only ask you to stand."
Bai Mengjin didn't care: "It's okay, we don't have to sit, you just go and call someone."
"Yes." Xiaomei hurriedly said, "You wait here."
The crowd watched as she turned and squeezed to the back. In front of the door of that room, an old man was knitting straw sandals, and looking at his skinny appearance, he thought that life would be very hard in the future.
Xiaomei excitedly said to him a few times, and gestured to this side, the old man's expression was very numb at first, and then he glanced at the figure here, and gradually became excited.
Xiaomei called out to the people in the next room again. After a while, a group of people, old and sick, stumbled towards this direction. The state is so miserable that I can't bear to see it.
