"Don't be nervous."

Yuan Tong was the first to speak, with a faint smile on his face: "I just happened to be passing by." ”

The nightingale's face was frosty, but she did not speak.

Luo Qingfeng touched her wrist through the sleeve, and she could clearly feel her trembling.

There is fear, and there is anger.

Yuan Tong opened his mouth to explain: "There is a task in a few days, which Yuan Fang told me. I think you'd be interested in participating, so I'm here to let you know. ”

The nightingale said directly: "I'm not interested. ”

Yuan Tong smiled faintly and said, "You listen to me first." This time, the task is to go to the big Buddha temple in the west of the city to get rid of demons, although the big Buddha temple has long since declined, and there are few monks in it, but there is still some heritage, and the abbot of the sea of clouds in it also has something to do with Kyoto. They were willing to give fifty taels of silver and a golden mushroom under the Buddha to reward the demon slayer. ”

When the nightingale heard "fifty taels of silver", his face did not change, but when he heard "golden mushrooms under the Buddha", his body suddenly trembled.

Yuan Tong clearly caught her reaction, and said with a smile on his face: "I heard that you are begging people everywhere in the academy and asking for medicine for your sister, including the medicine of the Buddha's golden mushroom." This medicine is not simple, and you should know that even if you have money, you may not be able to come across it. This time, one suddenly appeared in the Big Buddha Temple, and this task is just right for you, so I came to inform you. As for whether to go or not, you decide for yourself. ”

With that, he prepared to leave.

The nightingale lowered her head, her face changing.

After he had walked some distance, the nightingale suddenly looked up and asked, "Has the team already decided?" ”

Yuan Tong stopped and said, "Yuan Fang has already received it." ”

According to the rules of the college, as long as one team receives any posted task, the other teams cannot claim it.

Yuan Tong suddenly smiled again: "Yuan Fang said, you can join his team at any time." There are two days left before you can think about it first. ”

After saying that, he left with a smile.

The nightingale watched his back walk away, and stood at the mouth of the alley for a long time, then Fang raised his steps and walked into the alley.

"I'm not going."

She said this as if she were speaking to the people behind her, as if she were speaking to herself.

Luo Qingfeng could feel her contradictory emotions, hesitated for a moment, and asked carefully, "Aya, ...... What's going on? ”

Nightingale was silent for a moment, and said, "Didn't you see that?" She can't speak. ”

Luo Qingfeng said: "That's it?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the nightingale stopped, looked at him and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Luo Qingfeng saw that her face was not very good, hesitated for a moment, and still said: "I think that if you just can't speak and there are no other problems, in fact, ......"

"Actually, don't you need to treat it?"

Nightingale looked at him like a child: "Do you know what it means to her to be dumb all her life?" ”

Luo Qingfeng fell silent.

Nightingale turned her head and looked ahead, as if not wanting him to see the emotion on her face.

"No one knows how miserable she is, how low she feels. She didn't dare to go out to play, she couldn't go out to communicate with others, she couldn't go out and do anything, everyone saw her differently, she had lived in such a shadow since she was a child. ”

Her voice became choked: "I know, she wants to speak, even if it's just a word...... I can't, and will never let her do this, for the rest of her life...... She will marry and start a family in the future, if she is dumb, who will want her in the future? Others will look down on her and bully her...... Even if she bullied her, she couldn't say it, she couldn't cry......"

At this point, she was choked up and couldn't continue.

"I'm sorry ......"

Luo Qingfeng apologized in a low voice.

Actually, he didn't mean that, he just wanted her not to be too anxious, not to always think about sacrificing herself.

Indeed, even in his world, people who can't speak will be treated a lot badly, and it's not easy to live, let alone this world.

The nightingale wiped her tears away from him and continued to walk forward, her voice calming down: "Let's go, don't talk about it, tonight is ready to celebrate for you, don't talk about these things." ”

Luo Qingfeng followed behind with mixed feelings.

Meanwhile.

Yuan Tong walked into a mansion.

A tall young man immediately greeted him and asked in a low voice, "Daddy, what's wrong?" Did she say yes? ”

Yuan Tong went directly into the living room and sat down on a chair.

The maid immediately brought tea.

Yuan Tong picked up the teacup, took a sip, and Fang said unhurriedly: "She will definitely agree, for the sake of her sister, she can't let go of this opportunity." And the old man didn't make any more excessive demands, how could she not agree? It's just ......"

Speaking of this, he sneered: "It's just that there was that kid at the time, and she couldn't let go of her dignity." When that kid is gone, she will think about it for another night, and she will naturally come to you. ”

Yuan Fang said in a low voice: "When the time comes, the child will take her to her father?" ”

Yuan Tong waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, take her to do the task first, get the Buddha Spirit Mushroom in your hand, and ...... Hmph, it's not just a casual pinch of her. A little girl with a milky smell and no background, she dares to refuse the old man again and again, and when the time comes, she will obey the training. ”

Yuan Fang was a little puzzled, and said in a low voice: "Daddy, that girl is indeed the best, but it shouldn't be worth Daddy's personal effort, right?" Isn't that ......?"

Yuan Tong's face sank: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, I will tell you what you should know." ”

Yuan Fang hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Daddy, don't worry, the child will definitely get that girl." ”

Yuan Tong lowered his head and sipped his tea, but did not speak again.

Night falls.

In the alley of autumn leaves, smoke curls up.

A small courtyard.

Luo Qingfeng was wielding an axe and chopping wood.

The old man sat in the hallway with his eyes closed.

In the kitchen, the crow was filling the wood for the fire, and the nightingale was stir-frying.

"Click! Click! ”

Luo Qingfeng rounded the axe, and every time he chopped, it was aimed at the middle part of the wooden block, one axe and two halves, the thickness was equal, and it was not bad.

"It's a pity that there is no knife ......"

He secretly regretted it.

Although the demon slayer on his body was rusty and full of gaps, it still looked a little powerful, and the wounds caused seemed to be unable to heal quickly, and it also had a serious injury effect, bleeding nonstop.

If it is used to kill demons, it will get twice the result with half the effort.

There should be a lot of exercises in the academy, but it is said that merit points are required to exchange for them.

He definitely can't cultivate now.

"Click!"

Splitting a piece of wood with precision, he suddenly thought of the red bead in the sea in his body.

After advancing to the three-star realm of Kaitian last time, the "Scarlet Thorn" technique suddenly appeared.

After cultivating, the effect is very good.

I don't know if there are still exercises after being promoted by two levels this time.

He decided to try it when he went back tonight.

In a short time, dinner was ready.

Luo Qingfeng put down the axe, went to wash his hands, and helped serve the food.

Nightingale had something on her mind, and she looked a little dazed all night, and she almost fell while serving food.

Luo Qingfeng saw it in his eyes and did not speak.

During the meal, the nightingale is also silent, only occasionally barely squeezing out a smile to adjust the atmosphere.

The meal was a little depressing.

After eating, Luo Qingfeng said goodbye and left.

The nightingale sent him to the mouth of the alley, and his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he did not say anything, but only pretended to be relaxed: "Go back to rest early, I will go back to sleep too." ”

The moonlight was like water, sprinkled on her tall and slender figure.

Her cheeks were hidden in the shadows of the alley, and she couldn't see her expression clearly.

"Hmm."

Luo Qingfeng nodded and turned to leave.

The nightingale stood at the mouth of the alley, watched his back fade away, and stood for a long time before turning back.

Luo Qingfeng walked on the street for a while and went directly to the Guanyin Temple.

After a while, a slender and petite figure walked in from the door, staring at him blankly.

Just serving food in the kitchen, while the nightingale was going out, the girl wrote a word on a blackened branch: Temple.

My sister couldn't give up all night, as a younger sister who gets along day and night, how can she not see it?

Luo Qingfeng knew what she was going to ask.

In fact, even if the girl didn't take the initiative to look for him, he would go to her.

"Your sister has been threatened."

"The other party gave you the medicine to cure the disease and threatened your sister to join the other party's team, and that person had ill intentions towards your sister......"

Luo Qingfeng briefly explained the matter.

The natural stupidity on Crow's face gradually turned into the cold face he had when he killed demons outside the town.

After Luo Qingfeng finished speaking, he let her digest it for a while, and then said: "So, I decided to go to the Big Buddha Temple first, get the golden mushroom under the Buddha one step in advance, and then find a way to strike first, kill the father and son, and completely get rid of this scourge." ”

His tone was calm and natural, as if he was talking about a very sparse and ordinary little thing.

Raven looked at him in shock.

Luo Qingfeng said again: "But my strength is not enough, so I need you to help me." Aya, your sister has silently paid a lot for you, this action requires a lot of courage and courage, and she will even die, are you willing to help me? ”

Aya was stunned for a moment, and immediately nodded, as if a chicken was pecking rice, and kept nodding.

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Luo Qingfeng stretched out his palm, and when he saw that she was stunned for a while, he had to take it back again, and said, "Tomorrow morning, when your sister leaves, I will come to you, and we will go to the Big Buddha Temple together." Succeed or not, you remember, you can't let your sister join the bad guy's team, you know? ”

Raven nodded again like a chick pecking rice.

Luo Qingfeng glanced outside and said, "Okay, go back quickly, don't let your sister find out." ”

Crow was about to leave, when she suddenly looked at him again.

"What's wrong?"

Luo Qingfeng wondered.

Aven bowed his head slightly, as if he was struggling with something.

A moment later.

She looked up again, then took a piece of silver from her bosom and handed it to him.

Luo Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "You gave it to me last night, I haven't used it yet." ”

Aven couldn't help but say, forcibly stuffed the silver into the clothes on his chest, and then turned around and walked away quickly.

As soon as she took a few steps, she suddenly stopped again, looked left and right, found a stone from the ground, and then walked to the dirt next to her, crouched down and wrote something on the ground with a serious face.

When she finished writing, she immediately dropped the stone, got up and walked away quickly.

Luo Qingfeng was curious, took out the silver on his chest, walked over, and looked down at the ground.

Two lines of ugly words were written crookedly on the ground.

"You're a ...... Good guy ......"

"I like ...... Lend you ...... Iron ......"

The corners of Luo Qingfeng's mouth twitched: Iron?

If you look closely, it should be "silver", but the word "silver" is written incorrectly, and it looks like the word "iron".
