The sun is in the west, approaching dusk, and the sun is as red as blood, slowly sinking into the western mountains.

This is a small house, but about ten square meters, narrow, and grayly lit. There was no more furniture except for a bed and a wooden table, and the empty space was full of tools, leaving the small space with little room for footholding. Many of these tools have decayed, but the old man is still reluctant to throw them away, and the tinkering is still in use.

The whole family, old and young, relied on chopping wood and doing carpentry to make a living, which was very poor.

"It's... You haven't eaten in two days?"

Lu Chen explained a lot, and the old man and the girl finally believed that he was not a villain.

Then from the old man's mouth, Lu Chen finally learned that he had been in a coma for two whole days. It was the girl named Nianchen who heard the movement of tearing the void, so she went to the alley and found him unconscious in the corner. If it weren't for this girl, I'm afraid it wouldn't be long before he would have lost so much blood and become a corpse that no one cared about.

The screams I heard before I fell unconscious were the girl.

When she went to great lengths to bring Lu Chen back here, his body was almost unable to support it. The old man was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see him die, so he took out the little money he had left, bought medicine and gauze for him, but it was not enough, and he sold a lot of things to be enough.

However, because of Lu Chen's relationship, they didn't even have any money left for food.

"Little brother, you are different from the monks the old man has seen, you are kind-hearted, and you will not deceive others, so I will tell you the truth. ”

The old man sighed, his face full of bitterness.

He pulled Nianchen to his side, his eyes already slightly reddened.

"Before saving you, I hesitated for a long time, old man, after all, you have also seen the situation in my family, and if I save you, I will have nothing to eat. I'm a bad old man, even if I'm hungry for two or three days, it's not a problem, but Nianchen is still a child, and my body is weak, so I really can't skip eating. Little brother, old man, I beg you to have mercy, just for the sake of the two of us who saved you, help us, and at least give this child a full meal. I'm grateful, old man!"

As he spoke, the old man began to choke again, two lines of cloudy tears fell from the corners of his eyes, and he turned around and knelt in front of him again.

Lu Chen was startled, endured the pain in his internal organs, got out of bed and helped the old man up.

"Old man, don't do this, Lu Chen can't afford it!"

He was injured, but after all, he was also a cultivator who refined his body, and a mortal like the old man couldn't resist at all, and he couldn't kneel down.

"Grandpa!"

Nianchen screamed, his face panicked, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull the corner of the old man's clothes, his big eyes were full of tears.

"Grandpa, Nianchen is not hungry, he is really not hungry. Grandpa, don't embarrass Big Brother anymore, he's a good guy, and he's injured, I... We can't do that!"

Hearing this, Lu Chen's heart shook suddenly, and he felt more and more that it was not a taste.

He still has some spirit spirits in him.

The spirit spirit is valuable, and the extraordinary gold and silver are comparable to each other, even if it is only a centimeter, it is enough for ordinary families to live for a long time without worrying. But the spirit essence on his body is already scarce, and he has to urge the teleportation jade platform to go back to the mountains, if he takes out some more...

Lu Chen was hesitant in his heart, but now he could only sigh.

"Old man, I only have these spirits here, you are familiar with this place, so let's exchange some money for some food. ”

He smiled bitterly, he couldn't bear to continue to see the old man and Nian You, and finally took out the few spirit spirits left on his body.

These spirit spirits are only less than one point, and even if they are kept, they can't urge the teleportation jade platform. Although he desperately needed a spirit spirit to cross the void and rush back to the mountains, he didn't know how far away he would be from here. This spiritual spirit, even if it is kept, will not play a big role.

Lu Chen could only comfort himself like this.

Seeing this, the old man's eyes widened, and he trembled and took the crystal spirit from Lu Chen's hand, and almost cried out excitedly.

Nianchen's eyes widened, it was the first time he had seen the spirit spirit, and his face showed curiosity.

"Thank you, little brother, thank you, little brother!"

The old man reacted, and he was about to kneel down again, thanking him again and again, but he was pulled up by Lu Chen.

"Old man, I have difficulty moving, so you should hurry up and change the money to buy some food and come back. Nianchen has been hungry for two days, and at her age, she really can't go hungry. ”

Lu Chen smiled bitterly, unwilling to continue to look at the old man's appearance of being so grateful to Dade, so he could only urge him.

Hearing this, the old man hurriedly wiped his tears, responded again and again, and instructed Nianchen to take care of Lu Chen, and hurried out.

It's just that Nianchen couldn't laugh, and when the old man left her, he stepped forward again, pulling the corner of Lu Chen's clothes, with a little uneasiness on his jade-like little face.

"Big brother, don't you still have to rush home?

"How do you know I'm going home?"

Lu Chen was stunned, a little puzzled why Nianchen knew this.

"I... You had a fever and said something in your dreams. Grandpa wasn't there at the time, and he went to buy you medicine, so I didn't hear it..."

Nianchen lowered his head and bit the corner of his lower lip.

"You've been calling your father and mother, and you've asked a person named Ling Caiwei not to kill them, and said that you'll cross the void and go back as soon as possible, so let them wait for you..."

As she spoke, she raised her head again, her hand gripping the corner of Lu Chen's clothes tightened tighter, and her big eyes were full of worry.

"Nianchen knows that it takes a lot of spirit to cross the void. Big brother, you gave us all your spirit spirits, so what are you going to do? Aren't Big Brother's parents still waiting for Big Brother to go back and save them? What if..."

"I..."

Lu Chen opened his mouth, subconsciously wanting to tell a lie to comfort this sensible little girl.

The words came to his lips, but he couldn't say them anyway.

He couldn't bear to deceive this girl, even if it was a white lie, he didn't want to tell it. Her eyes are so clean and pure, without the slightest filth and impurities, and they are not stained with fine dust, Lu Chen really does not want to deceive such a child who is not contaminated with the slightest sin and mundane in any way.

After hesitating for a long time, Lu Chen could only shake his head slightly.

"It's okay, big brother just find a way to get some spirit spirits. With the ability of the big brother, he can get a lot of spirit spirits soon, and then go home to rescue the big brother's father. ”

He crouched down, and inevitably touched the injury, but he didn't show any of it, pretending to be fine.

"Nianchen, you are a good boy who is sensible, so you don't want to worry grandpa, so don't tell him, okay? Big brother really doesn't matter, when the eldest brother's injury is better, just find a way to get more spirit spirits, and it will also make Nianchen's life better." ”

"But..."

Nianchen opened his mouth, still a little worried.

"Believe the big brother, the big brother will never lie to you, we will pull the hook!"

Lu Chen smiled, and his voice and eyes became more gentle. He stretched out his hand, and when he saw that Nianchen was still hesitating, he directly pulled her little hand and hooked it with himself.

Finally, Nianchen answered in a low voice, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was well-behaved and sweet.

Her smile seems to be able to melt all the coldness in this world, this gentle girl, always makes people feel sorry for her. Lu Chen slowly stretched out his hand, moving gently, wiping the dust off her face. She was as cute and beautiful as a porcelain doll, obviously she had never seen it, but Lu Chen felt a little close and familiar in her heart.

Feeling Lu Chen's kindness and gentleness, Nianchen smiled a little happier, her big eyes flashed with brilliance, which was more moving than gemstones.

"Big brother, your father and mother will..."

Bang!

"Old man, why haven't you sent the firewood today? I don't want money, do I?!"

Lu Chen and Nianchen both looked back, and saw the dilapidated wooden door being rudely smashed open, and a man dressed as a servant walked in. This person's expression is arrogant and domineering, obviously he is just a subordinate, but he seems to be high.

Seeing the scene in the house, the man was clearly stunned for a moment, and his face showed a little weirdness.

"It's strange, why is there another cripple in this old immortal family? Little girl, what about your grandfather's old thing? Today, it's past the time to deliver firewood, why haven't you seen the shadow of that old thing?"

"I... Grandpa he..."

Nianchen saw the person coming clearly, his face suddenly turned pale, and his thin body trembled unconsciously.

Lu Chen sensed the fear in Nian Chen's heart, his eyes were slightly downcast, and he also got up to protect her behind him.

Hearing this, the man showed disgust and dissatisfaction on his face, and glanced at Lu Chen, who was standing in front of Nian Chen, and then saw his appearance clearly. After only being stunned for a moment, the expression on the man's face suddenly became weird, and he laughed again.

"It's really strange that you guys, an old immortal, a little girl with a big fart, and now there's a waste with a dog-faced mask. Alas, tsk, I really pity your family, all so miserable. ”

He smacked his tongue, his expression changed suddenly, and he slapped his palm on the wooden table beside him, smashing the already rotten wooden table directly.

"Let me tell you, if you don't send the firewood that should be sent to the mansion, Lao Tzu will send your family to the netherworld today! Little girl, tell your old immortal grandfather, Lao Tzu's patience is limited, so he will only give him two hours! Two hours later, if Lao Tzu still can't see the firewood, you can let the old immortal hurry up and prepare for the future!"

"Open your mouth to be an old man, shut up an old thing, and call yourself Lao Tzu, you can't eat a lot of dung for lunch?!"

Lu Chen couldn't listen anymore, and a cold light danced in his eyes.

He didn't want to make trouble, after all, he was not familiar with the people here, and he didn't even know what kind of force was behind this person, so he just wanted to endure it and pass. But this person's words are like knives, which is too much, even if Lu Chen didn't want to make trouble, he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart.

However, after only a moment, he also figured out in his heart why the old man and Nianchen were so frightened after they knew that he was a monk, thinking that it was this person and the forces behind him who did it. So deceitful, it's no wonder that they are so afraid of the monks.

The old man has a good heart, and Nianchen is also a good child, even if he can't practice?

If you can't practice, you can only be bullied by others?

The anger in Lu Chen's heart soared, and his blood and qi also rose, like fire.

"But the descendant of the stage realm, to put it bluntly, is a dog's leg, and he dares to be so arrogant, I really don't know how your master taught you!"

"Big brother!"

Nianchen's face suddenly turned white, and he hurriedly grabbed Lu Chen, anxious, worried that something would happen.

The man was also stunned, he didn't expect this person with a dog-faced mask to dare to scold him. When he reacted, this person's expression suddenly became hideous, and he was not afraid of Lu Chen's cultivation because he was higher than him, but he was still arrogant, his face was full of cruelty, he rushed to the front in two steps, and raised his hand to hit Lu Chen's face.

Today, Lao Tzu will teach your father and mother a good lesson, and let you know who you can't afford to offend!"
