9. Sugar gourd

Ye Xiaozhu dragged Jiang Ling to the street, she was like a child who had not grown up, she just grabbed Jiang Ling's arm and never let go.

"Brother Jiang Ling, I want to eat sugar gourd. Ye Xiaozhu saw an old man not far away selling rock sugar gourds, and couldn't help but be a little greedy.

"It's such a coincidence, I want to eat it too!" Jiang Ling laughed, "Let's go, buy it." ”

Jiang Ling walked up to the old man, directly gave him a silver tattoo, took off three strings of sugar gourds, and said with a smile: "Don't look for it." ”

Jiang Ling turned to Ye Xiaozhu and said with a smile: "Take a string in one hand, eat slowly, don't worry." As he spoke, Jiang Ling stuffed two strings of sugar gourds into Ye Xiaozhu's two hands.

"Brother is so nice. Ye Xiaozhu smiled proudly.

"Silly girl, let's go. Jiang Ling raised the sugar gourd in his hand, swallowed a hawthorn in one gulp, and strode forward. Ye Xiaozhu was like a little girl, innocently following him.

Ye Xiaozhu's dependence on Jiang Ling seems to be innate, since the moment she was born, she has often cried, and the adults have tried their best to coax her down. However, as soon as Jiang Ling, who was three years old at the time, approached the crib, the little guy immediately quieted down. No one can say why, maybe this is the fate of God.

From childhood to adulthood, there has always been a young man named Jiang Ling behind Ye Xiaozhu. Back then, when Lu Yuanqing took Jiang Ling to wander, he sometimes took Ye Xiaozhu with him, and they experienced a lot together. No matter what happened, Jiang Ling would always protect Ye Xiaozhu behind him. As long as Jiang Ling is there, she will feel extremely warm.

Therefore, for Ye Xiaozhu, this is a kind of happiness. has been outside for many years, in fact, Ye Xiaozhu knows a lot, she also has her own thoughts, she is also very mature, but in front of Jiang Ling, she will always regard herself as a child.

Ye Xiaozhu recalled everything he had experienced with Jiang Ling and laughed stupidly.

"Xiaozhu, what are you smiling at?"

"I... No, isn't it a joy to have sugar gourds to eat? Ye Xiaozhu said.

"Really?" Jiang Ling showed a suspicious face, and his gaze swept towards Ye Xiaozhu. But with this sweep, a familiar figure came into his eyes.

"Is that the old man? just right, I'll ask for clarification!" Jiang Ling thought to himself.

"Xiaozhu, let's go, I'll take you to meet that old man!" Jiang Ling showed a wicked expression.

"Which old man?" Ye Xiaozhu said puzzled.

"No, just that old fortune teller, go!" Jiang Ling stepped out, put on a very dragging posture, and walked over angrily.

Ye Xiaozhu was confused, but he also followed the footsteps and asked, "Brother, do you know him?"

"It's not just acquaintance!" As he spoke, Jiang Ling had already walked in front of Huan Tong, "Old man, say, what's going on?"

"It's... I don't know what the young man wants to ask?" Huan Tong pretended to be puzzled.

"You don't pretend, you're a dead old man, and you're still fooling people when you're old. You tricked me into catching evil spirits, I didn't get any benefits, and I almost lost my life, in addition to what I said before, you have to give me some compensation!" Jiang Ling said angrily.

"Shaoxia really didn't get anything?" Huan Tong didn't believe that most of the Heavenly Realm would leave him something.

"When... Of course not. Jiang Ling said weakly.

Huan Tong had already gotten the answer he wanted, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Shaoxia has made a great contribution to capturing evil spirits, and of course Poor Dao can't let Shaoxia contribute in vain." As he spoke, Huan Tong shot out another ray of light and drilled into Jiang Ling's eyebrows.

"This is what I said before, and the other three Healing Pills and the five Qi Gathering Pills are considered to be given to the young man by the Poor Dao. Huan Tong took out two more medicine bottles and handed them to Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling pretended to be aware of the righteousness, and his heart was already happy, but he said: "How embarrassing is this, but since it is Mr. 's heart, this young man reluctantly accepted it." ”

The corners of Huan Tong's mouth trembled, and he secretly scolded this kid for being cheap and behaved, but he also said helplessly: "This is as it should be, Shaoxia can accept it with confidence." ”

"Then you're welcome. Jiang Ling smiled and asked, "What happened that night, did you save me?"

"Shaoxia was not saved by the poor road, the poor road did not dare to be greedy, as for who saved the young man, the young man should know in his heart, right?" Huan Tong replied lightly.

"That's... It's better to do this, you give me a hexagram, I want to know my life experience. Jiang Ling looked at Huan Tong expectantly.

Ye Xiaozhu, who was beside Jiang Ling, suddenly turned pale when he heard Jiang Ling's words, and couldn't help but meditate in his heart: "Fortune teller, you must not say it... No, you can't..."

After hearing this, Huan Tong laughed and said: "Didn't Poor Dao say it, don't talk about heaven, just about right and wrong." Everything has its own certainty, wait for the time to be ripe, and the young man will naturally know. ”

"Okay, you dead old man, you just don't tell me when you know. Jiang Ling said dissatisfiedly, "That's it, I can't help it if you don't say it." Can you tell me who that guy was with you that night?"

Huan Tong's expression changed and asked, "How do you know that there was a young man who acted with me that night?" ”

"Hey, don't mention it. It was a strange night, I was awake, but I couldn't open my eyes or move, as if the body wasn't mine. Jiang Ling said scoldingly.

Huan Tong glanced at Jiang Ling and said secretly: "It seems that the heavenly opportunities of these things have been blinded, and I can't peep." ”

"That kid is Feng Qianyi, the eldest disciple of the Qiheng faction, and his master sent him out to practice, and he happened to pass through Luzhou, so he acted with me. Huan Tong said solemnly, "Jiang Shaoxia can go back to the inn first, and someone will come to look for you tonight." ”

"What person, what fate?" Jiang Ling asked.

"Everything has its own certainty. With a wave of his hand, Huan Tong poured countless words into Jiang Ling's mind.

Jiang Ling frowned after receiving this information and asked, "Why must it be me?"

"This is a fixed number, and it can be changed by non-human beings. Huan Tong said helplessly.

Jiang Ling glanced at Huan Tong suspiciously, and said, "Okay, I'll wait." However, what is that called? No matter, anyway, I want to meet that guy!"

"No problem. Huan Tong smiled proudly, "Young man, please go back." ”

Jiang Ling cut and left with Ye Xiaozhu.

The two returned to the small bridge before, and sat idly at the head of the bridge, looking at the clear water in the lake.

"Brother Jiang Ling, you..." Ye Xiaozhu wanted to speak and stopped.

"What's the matter, it's okay to say it directly, you don't have to talk to me. ”

"You... Do you really want to know your background?"

"Of course, I didn't have a father or mother since I was a child, and I only had a grandfather. Besides, his surname is Lu, and my surname is Jiang, and he is definitely not my grandfather. Growing up, I always wanted to know who my parents were and where my home was. ”

“......”

"Could it be that you know?" Jiang Ling asked expectantly.

"No... No, I don't know. Ye Xiaozhu said nervously.

"Xiaozhu, don't hide it from me, this matter is very important to me. Jiang Ling looked at Ye Xiaozhu seriously.

"I..." Ye Xiaozhu's eyes were a little red, she knew that she had said the wrong thing, and she was very aggrieved.

Jiang Ling's eyes turned red when she saw her, and she immediately changed her words: "It's okay, it's okay, it's me who is too anxious, how can you know, don't cry, okay, stupid girl." ”

"Tracing the city. Ye Xiaozhu couldn't bear it, "I... Just once I accidentally heard it, in the city back. ”

At this moment, Ye Xiaozhu's psychology was very conflicted, she wanted to tell Jiang Ling everything, but she couldn't, just telling him a place name would also give him a hope. Anyway, since the Jiang family was wiped out, the imperial court issued a ban, and the world did not dare to talk about it, and after another twenty years, even if Jiang Ling was told the location, it would not be considered a leak.

"Is it true, Xiaozhu?" Jiang Ling was so excited that he couldn't speak for a while, "That... In a few days, we will set off to the city. ”
