"Although there is no surplus food at home, my father and mother can't bear to eat with others. It coincides with the fact that there is a Taoist temple outside the city that takes in babies and children under the age of one, and will exchange them for food. Father and mother love their sister Shuangling and send her to the Taoist temple, hoping to have a way to live. ”

Speaking of this, Chu Shuangxue looked at Ling Shuang again. Seeing that her expression was not abnormal, he continued to speak.

"Shuangling was sent by her mother, and she didn't return until three days after she went out. When she came back, she told her father that before she arrived at the Taoist temple, she and the two of them were taken captive by gangsters. Later, it took a lot of effort to escape alone. ”

According to Chu Shuangxue's mother, Ling Shuang was taken captive by gangsters. But she entered the Qingxuan Mountain Gate not long after, and Sima asked her guess that there should be something else hidden.

When my father heard this, he regretted it in his heart. A few days later, news came that the Taoist temple collected babies and children in order to refine evil things, and those babies and children who had been sent before had all died. When my father heard this, he was glad again. ”

While speaking, Chu Shuangxue got up and walked to another room. After a short time, he returned, carrying a linen bag in his hand. Walked up to the two and leaned over to open them, revealing pieces of clothing.

"After all, it is the flesh and blood that are abandoned with their own hands, and the father and mother can't let go. Since then, my mother has sewed clothes for the four seasons for Shuangling every year according to my shape. After speaking, Chu Shuangxue took out the clothes in the baggage and showed them to the two.

Sima asked to check on the top, and there were several pieces of clothing, of different sizes and thicknesses. But the largest one can only accommodate a child as young as seven or eight years old.

He was puzzled and looked at Chu Shuangxue.

"My mother only sewed clothes up to the age of eight. Chu Shuangxue understood and opened her mouth to explain.

"After a few years, I forgot what I did back then, saying that I loved it, that it was difficult to let go, and that it was nothing more than that. After Chu Shuangxue explained, Ling Shuang, who hadn't spoken for a long time, sneered.

Although I don't know if Ling Shuang can admit that she is Chu Shuangling, Sima Wenzhi listens to her tone, even if she admits it, she will be haunted by the abandonment back then.

"The people are struggling. The family has no surplus food and can still persist in this matter for several years, I am afraid that it has exhausted everything, which is commendable. Besides, time would have diluted family affection, so Huang Ling should not be too demanding. Sima Wenzhi's brows furrowed, and he opened his mouth to excuse Chu Shuangxue.

"When I was eight years old, my mother died of a serious illness, and when she was dying, she told her secrets. When she went to the Taoist temple, she had heard about refining evil things. Later, he was instructed by someone to send Shuangling into Qingxuan Mountain after a day, hoping that the immortals would take him in. ”

However, Sima Wenzhi was different from Ling Shuang's guess, and Chu Shuangxue finally told the truth.

The sewing of clothes is done by my mother. After her death, the matter was put on hold, and it was reasonable.

After Ling Shuang heard this, there was no more sarcasm on her face, her body trembled, and her mind was not calm.

"My mother didn't blink my eyes when she left, and my father felt more and more guilty when he saw it. After burying my mother, he entrusted me to the neighbors and went to Qingxuan Mountain alone to find the traces of the immortals, hoping to find Shuangling. It took several days to return, but nothing was found. ”

When Chu Shuangxue was talking, Sima Wenzhi understood one thing.

When she visited her sick father before, the filth in his body should have been left behind when he entered the mountain. There are many miasma in the mountains, which can cause injury and illness when inhaled.

"When my father returned home, his body gradually became abnormal. To this day, there is a fear of life. What Chu Shuangxue said then confirmed his guess.

After listening to the ins and outs, tears appeared on Ling Shuang's face. Sima asked Zhi not knowing what was going on in her heart, and couldn't open her mouth to persuade her.

After that, he got up and walked to another room. There is something he has already done, even if Chu Shuangxue doesn't ask for help, he has to do it now.

With the pulse to cross the spirit, Sima Wenzhi began to remove the poison in the body of the two sick fathers.

It's not hard to do, but it's not something to rush. This person had been bedridden for a long time, and if he did too violently, he would have died immediately.

"Do you have pen and paper?"

You can't rush it, you need to figure it out slowly. When Sima asked about the poison, Ling Shuang and the others were also watching. Seeking pen and paper was to write down the essentials of the practice, and he wanted Ling Shuang to do the rest.

"There is only coarse paper at home, which was left behind when the doctor in the city prescribed medicine. But there are no pens, only charcoal sticks. Chu Shuangxue heard the inquiry and opened her mouth to respond.

"Charcoal sticks are OK too. ”

The brush was something only found in the homes of literati and wealthy families, and was not used by ordinary people. The charcoal stick has inky black left over from the fire, which can be used for writing.

In fact, Sima Wenzhi had pen, ink and paper in his arms. But it was a talisman pen and talisman paper prepared before going down the mountain, and only talismans could be written.

"Dao Chief, I don't know how to write. He took a coarse paper charcoal stick, and Sima Wenzhi began to write. After Chu Shuangxue saw it, she opened her mouth to remind.

"It's okay, someone knows. Sima asked in response, looking up at Ling Shuang. Ling Shuang understood and nodded.

There are not many so-called tips. Ling Shuang had also studied the Qihuang technique, and a little bit of dialing was enough. After Sima Wenzhi finished writing, he handed Chu Shuangxue the key to the practice, and at the same time put the remaining coarse paper charcoal sticks into his arms.

After some busy work, it is past unitary time. Neither lunch nor feeding had anything to eat, and several people in the room were already hungry. But there was no surplus food at home, and Chu Shuangxue looked embarrassed and ashamed.

"Stay at home, don't go out, I'll go back when I go. Seeing this, Sima asked the two of them, and then walked out of the courtyard gate and disappeared into the night.

After dark, a curfew began in Chengdu County, and there were no pedestrians on the road. A group of officers and soldiers were walking back and forth with torches in hand. I just don't know if it's for last night's thing, or today's daytime thing.

Since there are no customers, the doors and windows of the roadside restaurants have also been closed. Although he couldn't buy food, Sima Wen already had an idea in his heart, and chose to go to the direction to hurry.

In Chengdu County, there are many places where there is no shortage of food. The place he is most familiar with is the Chengdu County Ya, and this trip is to go there.

Officers and soldiers walking on the road need to be cautious and evacuate. didn't go far, Sima Wenzhi raised his breath and flew up, and went to the top instead.

It was dark, and the torches could not shine on the roof. Sima Wenzhi occasionally made noises when he walked, and the patrol guards couldn't see anyone, so he had to give up in the end.

After performing the swift walking technique, he arrived at the county office in less than a quarter of an hour. In addition to the lanterns and candles on the path, the county government residence Zhong has extinguished the lights. The county commander Liu Jie has rested, which shows that he is not diligent in government.

No one bothered, just the right thing to do. Sima Wenzhi did not go directly to the back kitchen, but went to Liu Jie's study.

After a search, there were many gains, and it didn't take long for him to have some more yellow and white things in his arms, and Liu Jie's image in his heart went on the next journey.

With so many belongings already stored in the study, one can imagine how much there will be in the treasury. Before Xuan Jing said that Liu Jie was incorruptible, it seemed that he was also a praiser.

After coming out of the study, Sima Wenzhi ran to the back kitchen, only taking clean food that had not been passive. After enough for a day's needs, no longer be greedy, and leave quickly.

When he took away the silver and gold, and when he ate, he did not feel guilty in his heart. He knows very well what the gentleman does or not, these are the people's fat and people's anointing, and he takes it away to return it to the people and conform to the way of heaven.
