Chapter 104: Once upon a time
"I can't take care of you, you take this and live a good life in the future."
Even if the child was only four or five years old, he was still old enough to know the usefulness of the silver taels.
Seeing that Mu Yishang gave money to the child, the displaced people in the village followed suit.
As Mu Yishang thought, once one person gets the benefit, there will be countless people who will follow one after another.
She sighed at people's greed and eagerness, but as a demon cultivator, she had already borne a share of the mustard of others, and she did not dare and did not want to change people's evil behavior.
Therefore, Mu Yishang gave money to those people one by one, but the child at the beginning didn't ask for it.
Mu Yishang didn't promise him to take him away, and the child followed her like a little tail.
Wherever Mu Yishang went, he followed.
It wasn't until Mu Yishang was about to fight with the river demon that she finally couldn't help it, "You can't follow me like this, the river demon is terrible, aren't you afraid?" ”
The boy said, "I'm afraid, but I'm more afraid of the people in the village." ”
These words made Mu Yishang stunned for a moment, and asked him, "Why?" ”
The child said, "They said that I had come out of a crack in a rock, and that I should have been like a stone in a dirty, smelly ditch." They beat me, scolded me, and called me disgusting. ”
Mu Yishang was stunned there, she thought that this poor child was ruined by the river demon, but now she realized that he was originally a poor orphan, and even suffered such torture.
She didn't know how to react, and she knew that as a monk, she shouldn't care about these things in the mortal world.
Among the mortals, there are many people who are traitors and criminals, and there are many people who behave badly, and these are things that the mortal government should manage, not the immortal gate.
Therefore, even if Mu Yishang saw what the child said with her own eyes, she could only be guided by words, and she couldn't do anything.
But in Mu Yisheng's heart, she couldn't say that she wasn't sad.
The child clutched Mu Yisheng's long sleeves tightly, "Sister fairy, I beg you, take me away." ”
Mu Yishang opened her mouth and hesitated: "I...... I can't take you with me. ”
Although it is very cruel, Mu Yishang can only do this.
He was a poor child, but there were many poor children in this world, and she knew that she was weak and could not do anything.
The child let go of his hand in despair and muttered in a low voice, "Can't even the gods save me?" ”
As he spoke, he stood there with his head bowed, unmoving.
Mu Yisheng felt very uncomfortable, very, very uncomfortable, and even her eyes felt a little sour.
But she still left, and when she fought against the river demon, Mu Yishang made a death move for the first time.
Even if she encounters any excessive demons, Mu Yishang has always insisted on being able to capture alive and never kill.
But this time, Mu Yisheng killed the river demon with one sword.
The blood of the river demon splashed on Mu Yisheng's body, and she raised her hand to touch her cheek, which was also stained with dots of blood.
Mu Yishang suddenly fell silent and thought, who is more hateful among these demons and those who are mutilated by the same kind?
She couldn't figure it out, but her heart felt like a thorn in her heart, and she couldn't go up or down.
On the way back, Mu Yishang heard the voices of some children from a distance.
She followed the sound and saw that the child who insisted on leaving her was being punched and kicked by the other children.
The children beat him and made insulting remarks.
"Do you really think you can reach the sky in one step?"
"Don't pee and take care of yourself, it's dirty and ugly, if people like you can cultivate immortals, wouldn't everyone be able to?"
This drew laughter from the rest of the children.
The weak child lay on the ground, his hands on his head, his tattered clothes ripped open, revealing bruises on his arms and thighs.
Those traces are shocking.
Even after many years, Mu Yishang still shuddered when she remembered the scene at that time.
Maybe that's why Mu Yishang changed her mind and decided to take him back to the Frost Gate.
She watched as the children snatched his silver taels.
At the age of only four or five years old, he was even more cruel than those bandits who did a lot of evil.
How can such a young child bear to do such a cruel thing, these children are even more hateful than demons.
But the world does not think so, and in their eyes the strong who are not on their side are evil.
Therefore, demons are all evil.
Mu Yishang knows best how many years she has spent and how much effort she has worked to finally change her impression of being a demon in the eyes of the world.
She felt that the child was as pitiful as herself.
When Xiao Gu Liuyu was dying, the last thing he saw was a pair of embroidered shoes from Mu Yisheng.
Mu Yishang picked up the fainted child.
When she was about to go back to the Frost Gate, as she thought, many children were pulling at her clothes and wanted to go with her to the Frost Gate.
Many of them were instigated by their own parents.
Even a little bit of a little shy away from her, whispering.
Mu Yisheng has good ears and can clearly hear what they are saying.
"Even that stinky beggar can go to Shuanghuamen, and my children have to go too."
"That's it, my boy is much better than the beggar."
"If the little beggar gains power, won't he retaliate against us in the future?"
"We're just educating and educating his father and mother who died early, and he still wants to take revenge?"
Those words fell on Mu Yisheng's ears, and she only felt more and more painful.
She looked down at the child who had fainted, and couldn't help but feel sorry for what he had been through.
Someone said to her, "Palace Master Mu, look at this child of my family, the foundation is good, you can bring him with you." ”
"This one in my family is good, and the Taoist priest said that this child is a rare bone in a hundred years."
Mu Yisheng's gaze swept around the two spiritless children, and then shook his head.
There was even a shrew who shouted at Mu Yisheng, "The palace master looks down on our children, no matter how bad our children are, can they be as good as a little flower child?" ”
Mu Yisheng's lips tightened, and her expression was a little displeased.
The shrew was pulled by several people, and only then did she regain a little sense.
Originally, Mu Yishang was still worried that she didn't know how to refuse them, but at this moment, she didn't want to say anything, she didn't want to do anything, she just wanted to leave this place without looking back, and she would never come back.
Someone started a round and said, "Palace Master Mu, we don't mean that, we just respect you, admire you, and hope that our children can become disciples of the palace master." ”
Mu Yishang said coldly: "I don't accept disciples. ”
After that, she didn't say a word, and turned away with the child in her arms in her arms.
Someone shouted at her behind her, and someone scolded and scolded.
Mu Yisheng, who has always cared about her image, listened to those ugly words and suddenly felt ...... Sometimes it's okay to be indifferent, at least you can feel more comfortable.
Returning to the deserted Shuiyue Palace, Mu Yishang lowered her eyes and glanced at the child who was still sleeping in her arms.
She suddenly felt a little too impulsive.
I've always been the only one in the palace, and now I want to live with another person?
Mu Yishang looked at the child, a little apprehensive.
Gu Liuyu was seriously injured and slept for two whole days before waking up.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the pale blue veil in front of the couch, which was very beautiful, and he had never seen it before.
Xiao Gu Liuyu raised his hand to touch the curtain, but he was worried that his dirty little hands would stain the beautiful curtain.
Until his gaze fell on the back of his clean hand, he was stunned, looked at his hand over and over, and touched his face incredibly.
Was he dreaming?
There was a squeak, and there was a muffled sound in the door.
Xiao Gu Liuyu followed the sound and looked over, and saw a woman in a white gauze dress walking in.
The woman was born extremely beautiful, as if she had come out of a painting, like a fairy.
He was stunned, and then remembered that she was a fairy.
"Sister Fairy." He whispered to her.
Mu Yishang smiled softly at him and said, "Awake?" Does it hurt anywhere? ”
The child was silent for a moment, rubbed his little belly, and said, "I'm hungry." ”
Mu Yishang was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that she only cared about feeding Gu Liuyu medicine, and forgot for a while that he was a mortal and a child who was growing his body, so he should eat.
But there is no kitchen in the Water Moon Palace, and there is no cook, and there is no food for this child.
There was no way, Mu Yishang could only ask him, "Can you get up?" ”
Xiao Gu Liuyu lay down for two days, and his body was a little sore, but he didn't want to make trouble for Mu Yisheng, so he endured his weak body and sat up.
He nodded his little head, "Yes, sister." ”
Mu Yishang snorted and stretched out a hand to him.
Xiao Gu Liuyu looked at the hand that was in front of his eyes, hesitated for a long time, and remembered that his hand was clean now, so he handed his hand up and carefully placed it in Mu Yisheng's palm.
I don't know if it's because he has been homeless for many years, and this child's skin is a little dull.
Especially when it overlapped with Mu Yisheng's white hands, it was even more obvious.
Xiao Gu Liuyu looked at his swarthy hands, even if there was no dust, he felt a little dirty.
He just wanted to withdraw his hand, but Mu Yishang had already grabbed his wrist and pulled him up.
Xiao Gu Liuyu's little face suddenly turned red, and Mu Yisheng touched his forehead, "Your face is so red, are you still uncomfortable?" ”
The kid quickly shook his head and said, "No, it's just ...... My hands look dirty and I'm afraid...... Sister Fairy thinks I'm dirty. ”
Mu Yishang smiled helplessly, "No, you're clean." ”
The boy lowered his eyes and whispered, "But, that's what everyone says, I'm ugly and dirty, and it's ...... Dislike. ”
Mu Yishang was stunned for a moment, and after a while, she raised her hand and touched the child's head, and comforted: "You are very beautiful." ”
Xiao Gu Liuyu raised her eyes to look at her in a daze, her expression full of disbelief.
No one ever said he was pretty, and even he thought he was ugly.
But the fairy sister in front of him, the fairy sister who is extremely beautiful, actually said that he was beautiful.
Mu Yishang smiled softly and said: "Your eyes are very beautiful, when you grow up, you will definitely be a very handsome person, don't easily believe in others' belittling of you, you yourself think you are good enough, that's enough." ”
The child looked at her understandingly, she just touched his head gently, and said, "It's okay, you will understand later, let's go, I'll take you down the mountain to eat." ”
Xiao Gu Liuyu nodded heavily, followed her with staggering steps.
The fairy sister's hands are really beautiful.
His gaze fell on Mu Yisheng's slender and white fingers, he had never seen such beautiful hands, and he had never seen such a beautiful sister.
When the two arrived at the bottom of the mountain, Mu Yishang took Xiao Gu Liuyu's hand and walked on the street.
The streets of Faerie City are as lively as ever, with small vendors abounding.
Mu Yishang asked him, "What do you want to eat?" ”
The child looked at the food and was silent.
He didn't know what he wanted to eat, because he had eaten nothing but the wild fruits of the mountains and the spoiled meals that the villagers might have given him with mercy after a meal of punches and kicks.
Xiao Gu pursed her lips, not knowing what to choose, and even embarrassed to say what she wanted.
The two turned around in a big circle, but the kid still didn't make a choice, and Mu Yishang finally realized the problem.
So, she carefully observed and bought the few things that the child was looking at.
Mu Yishang handed a piece of sugar cake to Xiao Gu Liuyu and said, "Eat a little first, and we'll eat the rest when we go home." ”
Her voice was gentle and delicate, like a spring breeze blowing through Xiao Gu Liuyu's heart.
Since then, I have liked it uncontrollably.
Gu Liuyu woke up from his sleep, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he met the sleeping face of his master.
I actually dreamed that I met my master for the first time.
He couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips, and his gaze went up, falling on the bright red wedding tent.
Like a dream, he really married his master.
Gu Liuyu hugged Mu Yisheng's waist tightly, as if she was really afraid that this was just a dream, and after waking up from the dream, everything would disappear, and the master would no longer be her own.
Probably because his movement was too large, Mu Yisheng's eyebrows moved slightly and she woke up.
"Woke up?" Mu Yishang asked him in a somewhat hazy and sleepy voice.
The young man nodded, a little sorry, "On such an important day yesterday, I was actually drunk, so don't be angry with me." ”
Mu Yishang was stunned, and then smiled, "It's okay." ”
Gu Liuyu looked at the way his master laughed, and he couldn't help laughing.
He stuck it up and nested it in Mu Yisheng's neck, "Master, why do I have a very unreal feeling?" ”
Mu Yishang stroked the back of his neck and said, "What else can be considered real?" ”
She originally just asked casually, but she didn't expect the man to suddenly raise his head and look at her with a very expectant gaze.
Mu Yisheng: "......"
How can it feel like lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot?
She sighed helplessly, but she couldn't refuse the man's eager gaze.
