Chapter 4 No Chance to Back Mountain
After a few more days, at last several rooms were full, and a few men in black cloaks came to the courtyard, and each of them had black cloaks embroidered with threads of different colors and patterns, and they called everyone together in the middle of the courtyard.
One of them had a booklet and a pen in his hand, and as he read and recorded something, after each child had been recorded by him, he stood in three lines behind the black cloak.
If you look closely, you will find that the first team is all seven or eight-year-old children, with immature and innocent faces, the second team is mostly thirteen or fourteen-year-old young people, and the third team has only three people, all of whom are adults, a middle-aged man who has lost half of his arm, a woman with godless eyes who seems to be stupid, and an old man who looks like he is dying.
The people in the two teams behind her, Silly Ya has not seen them these days, and she seems to know who these three teams are.
The black cloak with the booklet walked up to the stupid girl, and the stupid girl looked up at him, only to see that this was an extremely good-looking young man, with dark eyes, a warm temperament, a smile on the corners of his lips, and red flame patterns on the cuffs and the black cloak on his body.
"Stupid, four-year-old?" he spoke, with a crisp texture like the porcelain bowl that the baby had accidentally broken last month.
"Yes. ”
The black-cloaked youth nodded, waved the stupid girl into the group, and walked to the next child.
The stupid girl consciously lined up at the back of the third line, and the black-cloaked boy at the front of the line kindly reminded her, "Little girl, you are standing on the wrong side." ”
The young man's black cloak was blue and rippling, and the stupid girl replied, "That's right, I'm here to test the medicine." ”
The young man frowned, turned his head and shouted, "Mr. Cheng, is such a young child going to be sent for a test medicine?"
"If your parents are unkind, it is also a sin to stay in the world, so it is better to return early. The man with the birdcage sat on the railing under the porch, his tone was cold.
It turned out that his name was Mr. Cheng.
"It's okay, this time I will return to the Holy Sect with you, and I will take these people to the back mountain. ”
When the young man heard that he didn't have to go to the back mountain, he couldn't help but be happy, "Thank you, Mr. Cheng!"
After everyone finished counting, a group of nearly 100 people followed out of the town, and the Holy Sect was on Qutang Mountain outside Qutang Town, not far away, and it would take an hour or two to arrive.
Stupid girl has never walked such a long mountain road, a pair of feet have long been sore as if they are not her own, but fortunately, she is used to being a person who can endure pain, and she doesn't like to say anything and always holds it in her heart to ponder by herself, anyway, she is a drug tester, listening to Mr. Cheng's words, it should not be long to live, and this pain should not be able to stand it for too long.
Stupid girls can endure it, but there are children next to them who can't bear it, and most of the children sent to be disciples are seven or eight years old, although the family is not rich, if they are rich, they will not send their children to the Holy Sect, and they will not see each other for ten years, but there are also children who are pampered, and if they are not pampered, they can't get a few taels of silver if they are sold wherever they go? Why bother sending them to be disciples with 800 copper coins, and they don't expect the children to learn their skills and see each other again in ten years.
So a few children cried and didn't leave, and the young man in the flame pattern black cloak at the head smiled and said, since you can't walk, then tie your hands and feet and drag them away.
Even when he said this, he still had a gentle smile on his face, and all the children couldn't help but shudder when they heard it, instantly subverting the good impression they had of him when they first met, and they were too scared to speak again.
The stupid girl looked at it coldly, and the little short legs walked briskly, so as not to be left behind by the team, but there were five people in her team, Mr. Cheng, three adults who were also drug testers, and even the old man who was about to die walked faster than her with tall legs, and the stupid girl was sweating, feeling thirsty and hungry, and the little things she ate in the morning had already been digested, she pursed her lips tightly, and lowered her head to look at the road under her feet.
"What's going on?" Mr. Cheng looked back and saw the stupid girl's bare foot, the stupid girl shrank her foot back, walking too seriously and too quickly, she didn't feel the pain, and she didn't know if she lost a shoe. "Do the shoes don't fit?"
Mr. Cheng walked over and took off the stupid girl's hat, and the small cloth hat that was not sewn was torn into strips of cloth, and Mr. Cheng was a little disgusted and wrapped around her feet.
"Let's go, follow me. He said lightly, but his pace was much slower than before.
After going up the mountain, the other two teams were separated from them, and the stupid girl followed Mr. Cheng all the way back, and everyone she met respectfully saluted Mr. Cheng and called him sir, it seems that his status in the Holy Sect is really high.
Walking to a deserted clearing, a few people wearing flame-patterned black cloaks came out, carefully examined the four stupid girls, and then led them to a stone wall.
A black cloak stepped forward and fumbled, turned a stone, opened the mechanism, and the stone wall slowly fell to the side, revealing a gap, and when he walked in, he saw that the narrow stone path could only allow two people to walk side by side.
When he walked to the end, he saw an old man with a white beard and no hair, wearing a dirty white robe, and several black cloaks saluted him, "Second Elder." Mr. Cheng only stood still.
The old man walked over and touched a few people, pointed at the stupid girl and said, "This can't be done, I can't carry it a few times, I can't use it." ”
"Then you let her watch the stove here for a few years, and then she will use it after two years. Mr. Cheng said.
"I don't have any land here to raise children, take them away, waste my time. The old man waved his hand impatiently, Mr. Cheng touched his nose, greeted the stupid girl, and the two returned the same way.
The stupid girl also let go of her heart after mentioning all the way, she is actually not afraid of pain, nor is she afraid of death, but for some reason, she is a little afraid of facing the unknown. If she had the chance, she thought, she would have to take control of the unknown.
Mr. Cheng carried the birdcage and hummed a tune, with brisk steps, and sent her to the new servants' team, and when he left, the stupid girl asked him if he had known that the second elder would not accept her.
"Well, sort of, I'm not sure. Mr. Cheng replied casually, "In that case, let's stay well." ”
The stupid girl nodded and watched Mr. Cheng leave.
The steward of the servant house gave her new clothes and shelters, a room for four and a bed for two, and her own basin and cupboard.
It so happened that one of her new roommates was the little girl who bathed her, and the little girl was surprised to see her, and hurriedly asked, "Why did you come here?"
The stupid girl didn't want to explain the reason to her, so she only said, "Mr. Cheng sent me." ”
"In this way, Mr. Cheng seems to like you very much. ”
"No, he just thinks I'm young and pathetic. ”
The little girl didn't believe it in her heart, saying that it was a holy religion, but more people in the rivers and lakes still called them the Demon Sect, and the people in the Demon Sect were all ruthless and murderous, where would there be such a hypocritical kindness. "Poor and cute, don't you just like you? Otherwise, why doesn't he pity others?"
The stupid girl didn't answer, and the little girl didn't care, her eyes were still full of smiles, "Okay, don't talk about this, you are about the same age as my brother, I feel cordial when I see it, why don't we get along as sisters in the future, my name is Xiaoman, you can call me Sister Xiaoman, what about you?"
"My name is Silly. ”
Stupid?
