Feiluan Temple. A small courtyard where the barrier was rebuilt.

An Sanping and Lin Xiaotang all sat on the steps of the courtyard, silently looking at Liuyun who had not been able to recover for a long time.

Feng Qisi walked in, and as soon as Liuyun saw him, he woke up as if he had woken up in a dream, and immediately stood up, hurriedly caught up with him, grabbed his little master's sleeve and asked, "They!

Feng Qisi took out a clay pot and said, "They have regained their innocence, they are all here! ”

An Sanping saw it in his eyes, he felt that this Feng Qisi was inevitably too impersonal, can't this kind of thing be said slowly?

Lin Xiaotang on the side stepped forward and hugged Liuyun, who was staring at the jar and weeping silently.

Feng Qisi opened his mouth expressionlessly: "Liuyun, you have passed the age of bundling, you should understand that this world has never been simple, even if you know how to protect yourself, but the evil tiger is always hurtful." It's useless to cry, and it's even more useless to dodge. ”

"Why? Why are they? They are just mere mortals, waiting for the monthly salary to feed their family, who have they offended? They just came to take me home, why did they end up like this?"

Liuyun looked at Feng Qisi with a pair of teary eyes, and it was still difficult to accept this sudden fact.

Feng Qisi was calm as usual, as if he was talking about a game of chess, a trivial matter: "Yes, the person who controls the demon spirit, if the target is not you Liuyun, it is someone close to you." If it weren't for them, it might be someone else close to you, your classmates, your friends. ”

Liuyun listened, grabbed Feng Qisi's hand and put it down.

It was as if for the first time he felt his powerlessness!

It was as if for the first time he felt like he was worthless!

An Sanping couldn't help but step forward, put his hand on Liuyun's shoulder, and said seriously: "No matter what the reason is, from now on, Xiao Tang and I will accompany you, watch you tie your hair, send you home, and keep you safe, okay?"

Feng Qisi nodded and said, "The reincarnation of heaven is never cool, you have to wait for that day." Finish your hair tie properly, it is never an end, but a beginning for each of you. Master respects me, that's all you say, and it's up to you from now on!"

After saying that, he owed a slight owe to An Sanping, turned around and left.

An Sanping looked back at the flowing clouds with tears on his face, wordlessly pulled him to sit at the table, and poured him a warm cup of tea.

Lin Xiaotang said: "You cried so many tears, drink some water!"

Seeing that he didn't move, Lin Xiaotang had no choice but to sigh and say, "Do you think you are so miserable? Brothers don't get along, family members don't hurt, and the people who have followed him since childhood are gone." ”

Hearing this, Liuyun's shoulders twitched again, and he cried in disbelief and asked, "You still say?"

"I want to say, I say myself! I, Lin Xiaotang, was born in a mortal family, my family is poor, my father was arrested not long after my brother was born, and he never came back. Therefore, my mother's health has been poor, and she has to work day and night for us. In the winter of the year when I was seven years old, my brother's fourth birthday, I wanted to eat an egg and a new dress, and my mother was still washing clothes by the river at night for this wish, but she became ill from overwork, fainted and fell into the frozen river, although she was rescued, but she had a fever and could not wake up, and the family could not afford to hire Lang Zhong and could not catch medicine. The neighbors saw that we were pitiful, and scraped together some money, hired a man, or cooked some food for our brother. But everyone was so poor, they all ate the last meal and didn't have the next meal, and they couldn't take care of it for a long time, and it didn't take long for my mother to leave us..."

When Liuyun heard this, he cried even more, An Sanping had no choice but to shed tears by himself, and he didn't dare to lift his mask to wipe it, he couldn't imagine that the optimistic and open-minded Lin Xiaotang was the miserable and sad Lin Xiaotang in front of him!

Lin Xiaotang didn't look at the two of them and continued:

"At that time, I already knew that my mother was gone, she was buried in the dirt in a thin coffin, and she would never take care of us again! That day, I sat by her grave with my brother in my arms, and sat for a long time, and at that moment, I didn't know whether it was better to live or die. But my brother, he didn't know what his mother died, he said it was too cold, and asked me when my mother would come back with eggs and his new clothes..."

Lin Xiaotang's voice was still calm, but finally, tears fell and fell on the table, with a muffled sound.

"At that time, I just wanted to help my mother and brother, and I fulfilled this wish. I entrusted my younger brother to the aunt who led the family, I went to the restaurant to wash dishes, went to the Qinglou to run errands, to help people deliver letters, I only charged a small amount of money, the restaurant cook finally secretly gave me two boiled eggs, the girl in the Qinglou gave me a few old clothes and quilts that she didn't want! But there was no one left, only a letter left, I was illiterate, and my neighbors were illiterate, I took the letter, and fell back into the street, and found a gentleman, only to find out that the aunt, her life could not go on, so she handed over my brother to a man for ten taels of silver! She said that she was already in hell anyway, and she was not afraid of going to hell after death! She said,... Said that my brother will definitely go to a good family, better than now!

... That day, Mr. Writing said a lot of words to comfort me, I can't remember all of them, I only remember, that night, it was very dark, it was very long, I couldn't see anything, I Lin Xiaotang, in that night, finally, there was nothing!"

There was another muffled sound, this time, it was An Sanping's tears.

Liuyun was already stunned, before today, he had never heard of such a bleak life, the life of a seven-year-old child, how desperate it could be!

Despair with nothing to say, nowhere to go, no despair to imagine.

"Twelve years have passed, I, Lin Xiaotang, have never done anything like a chicken or a dog thief, I have been saving money every day, making friends with every Lang Chinese Medicine Hall, and worshiping every god! I want to live better and better, to comfort my mother! I look forward to it in my heart, if one day, I find my younger brother, I will tell him that he already has a reliable big brother! I have food, clothes, and money to spend! I will never lose him again!"

In the tea hall of the three people, not a single person spoke. Every man shed his own tears.

It was still Lin Xiaotang, who first wiped away his tears, then took a handkerchief, wiped the two of them, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, the tears are all over today, it's all right! Liuyun, when we are strong, we can protect the people we want to protect!~"

An Sanping turned his face to look at him, looking at the person who used to run wildly with the quilt on his back in the dark night, but now he was comforting others with his own pain, he couldn't help but have a sour nose, and quickly turned his face and said: "Yes, Liuyun, you still have a grandmother, a mother, and friends at home, you have to be stronger to be like a man for them!"

Liuyun was originally a smart teenager, and after listening to so much, he finally realized and nodded vigorously: "Hmm!"

An Sanping stretched out his hand, Lin Xiaotang smiled, and the hands of the three of them were tightly clasped together.
