Xiao Ghost came back from the mountain, eating the fruits he picked and the flatbread left by his mother, the fruit was sour and his tears flowed, and the biscuit choked his throat.

But I managed to survive the winter, and it wasn't the hardest time.

Glancing at the house, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is surrounded by walls, and the only furniture is the old wooden tables and chairs left over from the village chief.

Speaking of which, she has been here for more than six years, and she will be seven years old after her birthday this summer.

But since she realized it, she has only seen her mother, not her father, not even a relative.

When she was a child, she overheard her mother and the village chief saying that she had escaped from the famine, and her father was dead, but in her opinion, it was most likely false, because she could always wake up at night and hear her mother sitting there crying and saying sorry.

She didn't know how to communicate with this mother, she was an orphan in her last life, because she showed a very high IQ when she was a child, and was selected into the state-funded genius class.

What she has been exposed to all her life is numbers, and she doesn't understand and doesn't need it.

So after arriving here, she hated herself for not knowing anything, even if she had an IQ of 200, she couldn't exchange it for edible steamed buns.

In the past few years, she has been relying on her mother to do embroidery and pick herbs to support her growth, she is not grateful to this mother, but she really doesn't know how to communicate with her, and the words of concern can't be said to her mouth.

The day before yesterday, her mother said that she was going to go out, and she left three days' rations and took away all the money she had saved in the past few years.

She once suspected that her mother was going to run away, but when she was leaving, her mother told her to take care of herself, and she almost had to dig out her heart, so that her uneasy heart gradually calmed down.

The irony is that if her mother didn't want her, she might not really grow up.

It is useless to be a scholar, and the ancients did not deceive me!

Xiao Ghost sat on the kang in a daze, when there was a commotion outside.

Da Nier next door ran in, "Ghost, go out and see, your mother is coming to pick you up with an immortal!"

Xiao Ghost was stunned for a while when he heard this, and said that the immortals were something she couldn't understand.

I still remember that four years ago, her mother took her to see the once-in-a-decade apprenticeship, and watched a group of people step on the flying sword and come down, she promised that it was the richest expression in her two lives!

Later, I heard her mother say intermittently that it was a person who cultivated immortals, and her mother was extremely confident in telling her that she would definitely have spiritual roots, and she would cultivate immortals in the future and become a human being.

Now she seems to understand a little, her mother is not an ordinary person, is she? But her mother has no spiritual roots! Otherwise, they wouldn't be so miserable now, even ordinary monks wouldn't almost starve to death in a mortal place, right?

Before she could have a clue, she was dragged out by Da Nier, and just happened to see a man who was about middle-aged descending a boat-like thing from the sky, and her mother was watching from the boat, and when she saw her come out, she smiled.

Her mother walked down, ignoring the surrounding villagers, and dragged her straight onto the boat.

When she was on board, the man lifted the boat into the air, leaving behind the whispering villagers.

Looking down at the smaller and smaller human heads, she had a gut feeling that something was different.

"Ghost, this is Butler Mo Yu, who took us back to the family this time. ”

Xiao Ghost glanced at him and whispered, "Steward Mo." ”

Mo Yuren, as her name suggests, is quite silent, just nodded when he heard her words, and sat on the bow of the boat to meditate with his eyes closed.

Her mother pulled her to sit down in the back and checked to see if she was hurt. Pick up a paper bag from the side, and inside are two buns, which smell like minced meat. She seems to have eaten meat twice since she was born!

Her mother didn't explain anything to her, probably because she didn't think it was the place to talk.

After flying for an hour or so, the sky gradually darkened, and Xiao Ghost could no longer support it and fell asleep by the side of the boat.

Mo Yu glanced at this, thought about it or stopped, and rested in the town below for a night, with his cultivation still unable to support it, it was better to leave early tomorrow morning.

Xiao Ghost felt in a daze that she was hugged by her mother, she was small now, and she really had no physical strength.

At dinner, Xiao Ling, the mother of Xiao Ghost, called her, their mother and daughter are mortals, and they are indispensable for three meals a day.

Xiao Ghost felt her mother's desire to speak and stopped, and given her low age of seven, she still pretended not to know and did not say anything.

"Hell, my mother wants to talk to you about something, come here. As if he had made up his mind, Xiao Ling called the ghost over, "Mother knows that you can understand, although you don't say it, but it comes out of my stomach after all, and my mother can still see it." ”

The mother touched her head, and there was a complexity in her eyes that she couldn't understand.

"The place we are going to is the Mo family, one of the four major families in the Eastern Regions, you will know about the Eastern Regions in the future, my mother will tell you about the Mo family first. Xiao Ghost looked at the hand that grabbed her, and she could feel the cold temperature on it.

"About thirty years ago, my mother married to the Mo family as an attendant with the young lady, and she married the second young master of the patriarch. gave birth to a son named Mo Zhiyuan that year, and since then, the master has been in retreat, and there are no children. Until seven years ago, the master was out of the customs ······"

Xiao Ghost choked up when he heard her before continuing.

"Master, he is not a calm character, and there are many confidants, but the young lady finds out that it is useless now, the eldest young master has grown up, and although the old man is said to be romantic, there is only one concubine in the end, and at this time, the young lady is pregnant again, so I don't care about him. Xiao Ling grabbed her hand tightly, made up his mind, and continued. "During this period, the old man was drunk, and I... I've become the lord's concubine..."

Xiao Ghost frowned, what does this mean?

"I was framed by the concubine surnamed Liu! It turned out that she was already three months pregnant, and seeing that she couldn't hide it, she was worried that the young lady would be unfavorable to her, so she made a plan to harm me! The young lady was about to give birth, and suddenly she was furious, injured my dantian, and drove me out. Gave birth to a little lady in anger, you must know that the higher the cultivation, the greater the damage to the child. The young lady is already a Jin Dan cultivator, and after giving birth to a daughter, she was even more energetic and retreated for three months. When she came out, Liu was already seven months pregnant, everything was a foregone conclusion, and it was useless to realize that it was a conspiracy at that time. ”

"After being kicked out, I went to the mortal realm, and I found out that I was pregnant with you halfway, but I really didn't have the face to see Miss, so I didn't go back. When we arrived at the village where we were before, we settled down. I didn't think I would go back again, but watching you grow up day by day, I can't, I can't let you wander around this village! At the age of seven, you can start cultivating, and if you wait for the sect to recruit disciples in six years, when you are all thirteen, and then you start cultivating, it will delay you! I really can't afford to wait! I can't afford to wait!"

Feeling her tone getting more and more excited, Xiao Ghost gently patted her.

Xiao Ling calmed down for a moment and continued, "The day before yesterday, I took a few spirit stones from before yesterday and returned to the Mo family. Asked Miss, she, she agreed with you to go back to the family, ghosts, mother's ghosts, mother's ghosts, mother's only you, you must practice hard, practice hard to go out, don't be like your mother. ”

Xiao Ghost felt that her shoulders were already wet, she didn't know how to comfort her, and she didn't particularly understand what she meant, but she instinctively wrote down this passage.

"Ghost, you must keep a low profile when you go back, and don't disobey Miss. In the future, when you enter the sect, you will have to rely on Miss, you must be obedient, you know?"

Xiao Ghost lowered his head, slowly digesting what her mother said, I don't know why, I feel very blocked in my heart.

Even if she doesn't understand everything, she knows that she will have to live by people's faces in the future, just like when she was in an orphanage in her previous life.

But she was quickly picked up at the time, and I can't remember exactly what it was like. But then she was proud at all times, and she was a little skeptical, could she do a good job?

At night, Xiao Ghost had a dream about being in an orphanage.

There was a volunteer who took care of them, and all the children were afraid of her because she would not give them food and would beat them when she got angry.

Only she was the thorn in the pan at the time, stubbornly resisting.

The volunteer viciously said that he wanted to teach her a lesson, but before she could teach her a lesson, she was picked up.

This time in the dream she didn't leave, she was locked in a dark room, starved for two days.

Cold, dark and hungry, just like once in this life, in winter, she had nothing to eat at home, and she and her mother huddled at home. She wanted to get out, but she didn't have the strength······

"Hey, hey, hey, get up! We're going to leave after dinner. ”

Xiao got up in a daze and ate. Thinking of last night's dream, she frowned, last night's conversation still affected her.

But the good thing about Xiao Ghost is that she has been silent, and others can't see what she is thinking, just being a well-behaved child.

Sitting on the boat, Xiao Ghost didn't know where she was flying, but she only felt her mother holding her hand, which was getting colder and colder, which showed the nervousness in her heart.

Mofu, Streamer Temple.

This is the second lady's residence, and the subordinates stand respectfully outside, quiet without a sound.

There was a commotion from outside the courtyard gate. "Xiaoling, don't stop me, let me go to my mother!

A little girl in a pink skirt burst in angrily.

"Seventh Miss, Madam is still cultivating, let's wait a minute. The subordinates were cautiously dissuaded, but they didn't dare to say anything serious.

"Let her in. ”

When the men at the door heard this, they withdrew.

The little girl pushed open the door, and asked angrily without seeing a figure, "Mother, I heard that there is another cheap sister, what's the matter?

In the room, a lady dressed in fine clothes was meditating on a futon, and when she heard the little girl's words, she asked, "What, she is upsetting you again?"

"As long as she's here, I'm not happy!"

"Zhiya, my mother told you that she is all clever, what you have to do is to cultivate hard. ”

"I know, I just can't be angry, I look pitiful!"

The little girl is the biological daughter of the second lady, Mo Zhiya, eight years old, who measured the purity of the single fire spirit root of eighty-seven last year.

"What's the matter with that sister?" Although interrupted, Mo Zhiya hadn't forgotten the purpose of coming.

"How do you know?"

"What Mo Yan told me, that means that you hate the newcomer even more, she is stupid to me, even if there is another one, I still hate her!"

"Heh, I'm not honest. The second lady sneered, "Zhiya, you listen to your mother, don't worry about this, just cultivate well." ”

"Mother, you haven't told me that person yet. ”

"You, that's it, it's nothing to tell you. The smile on the corner of the second lady's mouth faded, "The person who came yesterday was my mother's former attendant, and later the Liu family made her follow your father." I wasted her dantian in a fit of anger and drove away, but I didn't expect her to be pregnant. ”

"Why did you let her come back?"

"She was also innocent of what happened back then, a person with no cultivation raised a child, where can she live? Let her come back this time as compensation, and it will not make any difference. ”

The second lady turned her head to Mo Zhiya and said, "You don't have to worry about this, you have good talent, as long as you cultivate well, no one who belongs to you can snatch it." ”

"I know, I have broken through the second layer of qi training now, and I will be able to break through in the near future and officially enter the third layer!"

"Okay, let's go and cultivate!"

The little girl got the news, stopped asking, and turned and ran out.

The second lady watched her daughter go out, with no smile on her face.

What she didn't say was that this squire wasn't any ordinary squire.
