Chapter Eighty-Eight: Saving People
The little girl seemed to think of something, and was very sad: "My mother died in childbirth when I was born, and my father later went into the mountains to hunt and was eaten by the wolves, leaving only a pile of bones.
My family is just me and my grandfather, and now there is no harvest for half a year of drought, and everyone has eaten up the bark on the mountain. Grandpa left everything he could eat for me, and he himself starved to death......!
"Don't be sad!" Xue Qing felt empathy when she saw her like this, and stepped forward and gently patted her shoulder to comfort her.
"I ...... I want to sell myself to my grandfather to buy a coffin and let him be buried in the ground. I don't want my grandfather to be eaten by wild beasts or hungry brutes...... Woo woo...... "The little girl sobbed and told Xue Qing the reason for selling herself.
"Don't cry, take me to you to meet your grandfather!" Xue Qing felt uncomfortable and was ready to help her......
They came to a ruined temple and saw the emaciated corpse of an old man lying in a corner of the temple.
The little girl quickly ran to her grandfather's corpse and cried heartbreakingly: "Grandpa...... Grandpa......"
Seeing such a scene, Xue Qing recalled the sad and painful scene when she lost her mother at Qilian Mountain's house. She wiped the tears from her eyes and told the little girl, "Don't go away yet, wait for me for a while." ”
After saying that, Xue Qing came to the mountain, quickly cut down the trees with a spell, made a coffin, and returned to the broken temple a quarter of an hour later.
The little girl was still holding her grandfather and crying bitterly, and Xue Qing took the coffin out of the storage ring and put it on the ground.
The sound of the coffin falling to the ground attracted the little girl's attention, and she asked incredulously, "Sister Fairy, you?"
"Put your grandfather in the coffin and let him be buried in the coffin!" After speaking, Xue Qing put the little girl's grandfather into the coffin.
The little girl looked at Xue Qing incredulously, her eyes were wide open, and she was very surprised and asked Xue Qing, "Sister Fairy, are you really an immortal?"
"Well, it's not an immortal, it's just an immortal cultivator. Let's put your grandfather in the ground first!" After speaking, Xue Qing put the coffin into a storage bag with Nie Wushu. and the little girl came to the mountain behind the ruined temple to bury her grandfather.
Xue Qing brought the little girl into the Zhizhou Mansion, arranged her food, clothing, housing and transportation, and went out to investigate alone.
Along the way, Xue Qing saw the joys and sorrows of the people parting because of the drought, and her heart was sad. Mortals are so powerless in the face of natural and man-made disasters, most of them are simple and kind, but they have to suffer such a calamity.
I can't help too much at this time, so these people can only rely on a bowl of gruel with a few corn kernels distributed by the governor's government every day.
How she wished they could hold on for a few more days, until she found a reason and did something for them.
Xue Qing has come to Yongzhou City, which is more than seventy miles away, and the grass here has been stripped and the bark of the trees has been scraped bare. Only the bare pebbles at the bottom of the river could be seen, and the farmland on the edge was desolate.
"My children, you beasts, return my children. A woman's miserable howl reached Xue Qing's ears.
Divine Sense probes, and a dozen emaciated adult men kick and punch an emaciated young man on the ground. A man next to him was holding a baby in his hand, and his eyes were shining.
"I'm fighting with you. It may be the light of motherhood, I don't know where the woman got the courage, picked up a stone on the ground and rushed towards the person holding the child in his hand.
The man who had beaten him had stopped, and the man who had been beaten was already dying. The fierce men of these adults slapped the woman to the ground.
The woman's eyes were full of despair and heart-wrenching, what should she do if her newborn child had fallen into the clutches of the devil?
The dozen or so people looked at the newborn child, with a fierce light like a wolf in their eyes, and disgusting hara flowing from their mouths.
"Big brother, we have food, we have meat, how delicious is this delicate and tender meat?" said one of them, staring at the swaddling clothes and drooling.
Even if a person with a strong heart ...... sees this scene, he can't help but want to vomit, is this still a human being? It's not even as good as a beast.
Xue Qing was disgusted by them, these people should die! But she can't kill it, the Heavenly Dao Wheel should be unhappy, good and evil are rewarded, these mortals have their own cause and effect.
A spell passed, and the child was held in Xueqing's arms. "Ahh......h
"Ah...... Why did my hand break?"
"Why can't I see with my eyes?" cried out the fierce wicked, some of whom had their legs broken by spells, some of whom had their arms cut in two, and some of whom had lost one eye.
"Child, child, my child is saved. When the woman saw that the child was saved, her eyes were filled with hope. The tears in his eyes kept flowing, but he ran to Xue Qing excitedly.
"Thank you to the fairy for your kindness, thank you to the fairy for saving my son...... Woo woo...... "The woman knelt down and kowtowed three times in a row. Xue Qing wanted to stop it, thinking that she was so excited, let her feel more comfortable!
"Get up!" Xue Qing helped the woman up and handed the child to her. The woman cried tears of joy with the child in her arms and immediately ran to the beaten man.
"Brother Lai, it's okay for you to wake up the child! The child is fine! Woo woo......" She held the child in one hand and pulled her unconscious husband with the other.
Her husband was woken up by her, and when he opened his eyes and saw that his wife and children were fine, he was excited, "Liu'er, are you all right, my child is okay......?"
"Brother Lai, it was this fairy who saved us. Come brother, let's go and thank the fairy for saving her life!" Liu Er saw that her husband was okay and her family was rescued, and the gratitude to Xue Qing in her heart was indescribable, and her whole body trembled with excitement.
"Thank you fairy for saving my family's life, thank you!" Brother Lai's tears flowed, as the saying goes, men don't flick when they have tears, but they haven't reached the sad place. No one can understand the ups and downs of people who are already desperate to jump out of the quagmire.
"It's not safe here, this is fifty carts of silver, you take it and follow me to Yongzhou first!" Xue Qing took out the silver left over from selling ginseng in the mortal world when she was a child from the storage bracelet and gave it to the two couples.
Seeing that the two were extremely hungry, the woman was thin and weak, and looked at the child with some congenital deficiencies. Xue Qing gave the woman a mortal pill that Min Jingyao had practiced to strengthen her body.
Looking at the wicked people crying and screaming around her, Xue Qing thought rationally: This kind of person who has lost his conscience deserves to die, and it is difficult to solve the hatred in his heart if he doesn't kill them.
Xue Qing wanted to kill them with a sword, but thought that these mortals couldn't die because of themselves. I don't want to be burdened with cause and effect because of these wicked people, it's not cost-effective.
"Thank you fairies for not killing you, thank you fairies! Please let the fairies spare us! We are also very hungry, and we really don't have anything to eat. We'll never do bad things again. ”
