Chapter 116: Fiction and Reality
Xiang Yang was about to say something when he heard a cry not far away, so he looked at the place where the sound came from.
I saw a frail woman crying and chasing after a group of men in black, and one of the big men in the gang had a seven or eight-year-old boy under his arm.
The boy kept kicking and struggling, beating the big man's arm with both hands, and screaming, "Mother, mother, I'm not leaving, you let me go." β
"Shi'er, Shi'er, you can't take him away. The woman tried to pounce, but was pushed to the ground by another stout man.
"Shi'er, ahem, Shi'er, my Shi'er......" The woman was just pushed by the man, and she kept coughing, and she couldn't even get up, watching her child being taken away.
"It's too much deception. Yun Di really couldn't stand it, when he was young, he was also forcibly taken away by his mother, the reason was that his mother's identity, a maid was not worthy of raising the head of the family's child, and he and his mother were separated for ten years.
Therefore, when he saw this similar scene, he was especially angry, but before he could make a move, Xiang Yang had already taken the first step, quickly came to the gang, and blocked their way.
I didn't want to, but Wudao grabbed Xiang Yang, "You can save this one, but can you save these three thousand worlds?"
"I don't know, how to save these three thousand worlds, I can't save them, but I know, now, I can save this one. Xiang Yang was pulled by Enlightenment, and his tone was a little impatient.
Since the day of goodbye, it has always been the Three Thousand Worlds, no matter what happens, it will be involved in the Three Thousand Worlds, what does the Three Thousand Worlds have to do with oneself? For the sake of the Three Thousand Worlds, can't it be saved? The Three Thousand Worlds are fate, and this child's life is not fate?
"Please, you quarrel, don't stand in the middle of the road, can you change places? One of the black-faced men in the gang was slightly impatient.
"What's going on? It's to get in the way of you, put that kid down!" No matter what the three thousand realms are not boundary, he wants to save that child now.
"Do you know who we are?" After the black-faced man raised his head and finished speaking, he looked at the seven people with extraordinary temperament, and felt that he might have encountered a hard stubble today, and he couldn't help but lower his head slightly.
"Besides, do you know what we're talking about? Before you meddle, you'd better figure out the ins and outs. "The black-faced man may feel that it is not good to be tough, and his attitude has softened.
"I don't care what you call it, but the child is innocent. Xiang Yang pulled out his arm, looked at the black-faced man and said coldly.
"Oh, innocent, it's this kid, he gave us a lot of medicinal herbs on credit, saying that he would settle the arrears in five months, and it has been a year, not only has he not paid it back, but he also owes more and more, and it is not easy for anyone in this year. β
The black-faced man was also very helpless, he didn't want to be a bad guy, but he couldn't help it, if he didn't end the matter today, he wouldn't be able to eat immediately.
"How much?" Xiang Yang asked.
During their conversation, the child kept his head down, quietly, without any reaction, Xiang Yang didn't want the man to continue, for a child, the current situation was a torment for him.
"What?" The black-faced man was complaining, but for a while, he didn't react, and he didn't understand what Xiang Yang meant?
"She asked you, how much money does this kid owe you?" Huo Jianxin really wanted to knock him on the head, and with this IQ, he came out to collect debts?
"Oh, not much, fifty-three taels of silver. The black-faced man looked at Xiang Yang with sparkling eyes, it would be nice if this person paid for them.
To tell the truth, he couldn't bear to bully this orphan and widow. Besides, even if the child is tied up, it is useless, they have no money to pay off their debts.
"Okay, look, do you still have silver taels there?" Xiang Yang hasn't used silver taels for a long, long time, moreover, her things are all in the Phantom Spirit Ring, the Phantom Spirit Tree does not accept things without spiritual power, and Xiang Yang's clothes are all things that she has been grinding for a long time before it agrees.
The black-faced man who was still expecting it before, after listening to Xiang Yang's words, his whole eyes changed, with a little contempt.
In vain, they were all dressed like dogs, but they didn't even have more than fifty taels of silver in their hands, which was simply too deceptive.
"Okay, I'll look for it, I remember I still have it here. "Huo Jianxin has put all the things she brought with her before since she put on the storage ring, and she has never sorted them out, and she has too many things, I'm afraid I can't find them for a while.
Just when the black-faced man's gang was impatient and wanted to leave with the child, a money bag suddenly appeared in Huo Jianxin's hand, "I found it, I didn't expect that one day there will be a time to use it." β
She counted out fifty-three taels of silver and handed it to the black-faced man, "It's okay now, right?
The black-faced man took the silver, counted it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he put it in his arms before saying, "Put it immediately, thank you, alas, this child is also a pitiful." β
Yun Di stretched out his hand, took the boy from the big man's hand, and gently put him on the ground, as soon as the boy's feet touched the ground, he immediately ran to his mother, "Mother, mother, how are you?"
"Hey, this little conscienceless person doesn't even say thank you, but it's a filial piety. Before he could stand up straight, the boy ran away.
"You can't stop people, you can't get money, thank you for what?" Dai Luluo became accustomed to it, and he didn't feel it, and he talked more.
Xiang Yang's eyes have been following the boy, the boy wanted to pull up his mother, but after many attempts were unsuccessful, looking at the little face that was suffocating, Xiang Yang was a little unbearable, and walked over.
"How is your mother?" Xiang Yang asked the boy with her head down, and she found that the child had a strong self-esteem, and even if he couldn't pull his mother at all, he didn't ask passers-by for help.
"It's okay, it's an old problem, I'll just sit down for a while. The boy did not reply, until the woman replied with a smile on her face, but only in a somewhat staccato manner.
Xiang Yang stretched out his hand and put it on the woman's wrist, and looked at it carefully, she had studied medicine before, and she could treat ordinary people's diseases, but after Xiang Yang learned about the woman's situation, he felt powerless.
Although Xiang Yang is an omnipotent monk in the eyes of ordinary people, Xiang Yang can't respond to the little boy's expectant eyes.
She let go of the woman's wrist, pulled the woman up, looked at the young child, and felt very heavy, "Where is your home? β
The little boy was very sensible, silently came to the other side of his mother, took his mother's hand, and walked carefully beside him, leading the way for Xiangyang.
The woman looked at the little boy lovingly, smiled and said to Xiang Yang with tears: "He doesn't like to talk, in fact, Shi'er is a good child, but I'm too incompetent as a mother." β
Dai Luluo and a few people followed behind Xiang Yang, and returned to a very small dilapidated courtyard with them, and it was not appropriate to say that it was a courtyard.
Because the courtyard was only two square sizes, the main house was two mud houses, the east side was a small room, and then there was the place where they had just enteredβthe courtyard gate.
There was no male owner in the house, and after the child was born, the woman pulled the child herself, and worked day and night in order to have a full meal, and even then, she could only eat half full.
Originally, she thought that life would go on like this until the child grew up, but she didn't expect that one day, she was exhausted, very sick, and never better.
"In the days since then, Shi'er has taken care of me, in the past few years, the child has suffered too much, and sometimes I also think, forget it when you die, it will not drag the child down, but he is still so young, I can't bear it. β
......The woman couldn't hold on any longer, and couldn't help but cover her face and cry, and the little boy was very strong, with red eyes, and patted his mother's back comfortingly, but he didn't shed a single tear.
Maybe it's not that he doesn't want to cry, but in a no-man's corner, he has dried up his tears, and if he doesn't cry because, it's useless to cry, no one will see it, and no one will help him.
After the woman calmed down, she deliberately spread the little boy away, and looked at the seven people in front of her with red and swollen eyes, "Little woman, can you please ask you a good Samaritan for something." β
Yun Di and the others looked at each other, and Xiang Yang replied softly: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." β
"Shi'er may have friends, but I always feel that something is not right, because he occasionally says that his friend can fly, which is very good. The woman's brow furrowed, and if it weren't for her own mobility, she would have gone herself.
"I know you're not ordinary people, can you please follow Shi'er and see who his friends are? The woman looked at Xiang Yang and asked sincerely.
"Okay, let's go now. Xiang Yang thought to himself, it's not a big deal, listening to the woman's description, it should be a monk, the resources in this world are so scarce, even if there are monks, the cultivation should not be high, so Xiang Yang agreed without hesitation.
After going out, Xiang Yang turned left and right, and after walking for a long time, he came to a high gate compound, and after the little boy left, Xiang Yang's spiritual sense has been locking on him.
"Why do I think this place is gloomy? Could it be a demon cultivator?"
"Me too, a little uncomfortable, how could this kid come here?" Not only Yun Di, but Huo Jianxin and they also felt the same way.
"Wait for the kid to come out, and we'll go in. After Xiang Yang finished speaking, he came to a corner and stood still, looking at the mottled wall in a daze.
The others didn't speak, but stood quietly next to Xiang Yang, waiting for the little boy to come out, and then they went in to find out.
From the beginning to stop Xiang Yang, after Xiang Yang did not listen to persuasion, Wudao has been silent, although he followed them, he no longer spoke, and some things can only be experienced in person, so that he will know how small he is.
