Qingcheng.

The painting heart is awakened by hunger.

When I woke up, it was already dusk.

Outside the half-hidden door, you can see the sun in the west, and the crimson clouds spreading layer after layer around the golden crow.

"Master, you can be regarded as awake. ”

The crisp voice, looking for prestige, was the little girl I saw earlier, and the little girl was sitting on the edge of the couch with her head supporting her.

"Have I slept for a long time?" Huaxin woke up a little dazed, and couldn't help but raise his hand and pinch his eyebrows.

"No, the ancestor slept from morning to dusk. Qingyin saw that Huaxin had woken up, and immediately reached out and brought a bowl of lotus seed porridge to Huaxin, and said with a smile, "Master specially instructed me to look at Shizu here, saying that Shizu will be hungry when he wakes up." ”

The painting looked at the light lotus seed porridge, wilting and having no appetite.

Seeing that the painting was not answered, Qingyin took out a plate of meat and shook it in front of the painting heart, and smiled even more happily, "The master also said that the master must drink lotus seed porridge before he can eat roast rabbit meat." ”

Seeing that Qingyin's eyes were full of fox-like cunning, he smiled in his heart, "I thought that the apprentice of a serious old monk would be a well-behaved little monk." ”

"The old monk's master is a great beauty, and the old monk's apprentice should naturally be a little beauty. Qingyin said mischievously.

"Little girl, I can't talk about you. ”

"The ancestor said that if you can't do it, let's drink porridge quickly. Qingyin handed the porridge bowl to the painting heart and body, and explained for Heguang Tongchen, "Master said that the master has slept for a day, and he needs to drink porridge to nourish his stomach. This is made by the master's father for the master's ancestor, and these lotus seeds in the porridge are still picked and brought back by the master when he goes to Chiyan Mountain to see the old Yaozun every year, and they can't be eaten on weekdays. ”

Huaxin was indeed very hungry, so he reached out and took the porridge bowl, spooned it gently, and suddenly couldn't help asking, "Qinglou is so rich and noble, no matter how ordinary the lotus seeds are, they have become rare things, so ...... What do you eat on a regular basis?"

"Master eats fasting, he has always eaten lightly, there happens to be a piece of fertile land in the Qing Building, and Master has used the red lotus fire to apply geothermal heat, which can be planted with vegetables, and sometimes the city lord's brother will also send some fresh melons and fruits. ”

"What about the rest of Qingcheng?"

Huaxin drank the lotus seed porridge spoonful by spoonful, and sniffed it casually.

Unsurprisingly, it doesn't taste as good as nerds. Probably because this lotus seed is not fresh enough, the painting is smiling, and when you go out, you can't be too picky.

It's been three days since she came out, and I don't know if Yu Xi and Xiao Jiu are still fighting, and I don't know if that nerd has forgiven her.

"Others ......"

As she spoke, the good little girl suddenly turned red-eyed. Qingyin remembered the days under the Qingyin Mountain in the past, and her long eyelashes couldn't stop trembling.

"What's the matter? Are you fasting with your master every day, and you're hungry? I'm going to talk about him later, so that he won't wronged you in the future. He didn't know why, and smiled and comforted.

"Don't go, Master, Yin'er follows Master, and the food is already excellent. Qingyin shouted hurriedly.

"With me, you don't have to be afraid of him. ”

"Yin'er is not afraid of Master, Yin'er is telling the truth. Qingyin looked at Huaxin, and the emotions in her eyes were indiscerning, "Follow the master, three meals a day, and you can eat fresh dishes." Those people down the hill ......"

"Huh?" "The painting heart also faintly felt abnormal.

"There is fertile soil on Qingyin Mountain, but most of the land under Qingyin Mountain is extremely cold, and it is difficult to grow an inch of grass, although the master often receives help, and also thinks of many ways to use red lotus industry to warm the land and try to grow more food, but there are many people and little land, and it is not enough after all. So most people are eating...... Gu worms make a living. ”

Gu worm, the emperor is the most playful, and he has never been in contact with the painting heart, but he has seen a lot, but he can ...... What can be eaten?

Surprised, thinking that he had misheard, he was stunned and asked, "What are you eating?"

"Gu worms. Qingyin's voice trembled, she had eaten it before, but now when she thought about it, she felt disgusted.

"Why do you want to eat that kind of bug?" said the drawing, stunned, and suddenly stopped eating the spoon.

"To live. ”

Qingyin's tone has the vicissitudes of life that do not belong to her age, and the painting heart suddenly lost her appetite, she thought that the environment in Qingcheng was harsh and the people were hard, but she didn't expect that it had been so hard.

Seeing that the painting was silent, Qingyin said slowly, "Actually, Qingcheng only became like this six or seven years ago, suddenly it was frozen three feet, the trees withered, and the original grain in the city was eaten up in a year, but the climate became more and more bad, there was no harvest all year round, and the people were starving." Later, Lord Poison Zun raised some Gu worms with tenacious vitality and fast reproduction, and when they had no choice, most of the city's residents had no choice but to ...... Choose to eat Gu for a living. ”

Eat Gu for a living!

If Huaxin still has the strength to spare, she must go back to the Forgotten Dust Palace to ask Jun Yin, and ask him, who is not only a god of heaven, but also a human emperor who rules the world, can't he see that the people here are not living?

And it happened to be six or seven years ago......

I don't know if the disaster in Qingcheng is related to Nanxun's rescue of Junyi back then? Intuition tells her that these two things must be related.

At this time, looking at the bowl of lotus seed porridge in his hand, Huaxin no longer disliked the poor taste of the inferior Shuyi made by himself, etc., he only felt that it was very precious, and silently drank all the porridge.

"Master, now you can eat meat. ”

Seeing that Huaxin finished drinking the porridge, Qingyin took the empty bowl and held a plate of rabbit meat in front of Huaxin, although she tried her best to hide it, Huaxin still saw her salivation.

Seeing Qingyin's saliva, he couldn't help but swallow and swallow, and his heart suddenly softened, and said with a smile, "I just ate a little full, and I can't eat this meat alone, why don't you help my ancestor share some of it?"

Qingyin's throat moved slightly, and he hesitated for a long time, but finally shook his head.

"Your master is a monk, and you are not a monk, what are you afraid of. Huaxin picked up a piece of meat and handed it to Qingyin's mouth, coaxing, "Taste your master's craftsmanship, this rabbit roasted by a high-ranking monk is not something that can be eaten anywhere." ”

"Master, you better eat it yourself, if I eat this mouth, I won't be used to eating porridge and side dishes in the future, but no one will spoil me so much, the game on Qingyin Mountain is rare, but not anyone can catch it and eat it casually. ”

Qingyin said calmly, but the painting heart sounded unpleasant, she suddenly reached out to hold Qingyin's hand, the smile on her lips was gentle, "You can eat with confidence, believe me, it will change here, it will make the people of Qingcheng full and clothed, and it will let you have meat to eat every day." ”

The fingertips of the painting heart were cold, but Qingyin felt exceptionally warm. Huaxin's voice was very soft, but Qingyin felt very firm when she heard it, which reassured her.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and ate a plate of meat together.

"No wonder the master likes you. ”

Hua Xinfang ate two bites of rabbit meat, and was immediately choked to death by Qingyin's sudden words that blocked the rabbit meat in his throat.
