In the early morning of the second day, Luo Yin woke up early as usual.

He got up and fetches a few changes of clothes in the room, and cleans the room again. Then he thought about it and took out some of the gold and silver that his master had given him for safekeeping, just in case he needed it.

Put the clothes, silver taels, and weapons into the treasure bag, and then went out of the room to the door of Zhang Xingzhi, only to see that the door had been opened, so he turned around and came to the main hall, said goodbye to Zhang Xingzhi who was meditating in the hall, and then walked towards the outside of the mountain.

The mountains were still a little cold in the early morning, but he didn't feel much, since the practice, he felt that his body was getting stronger and stronger, not only his endurance had increased greatly, but also his resistance to cold and heat had become stronger and stronger.

He hated walking too slowly, so he picked up his true qi and began to run and jump wildly in the mountains, like a gust of wind through the trees, but it took more than two hours to leave Qingyang Mountain and come to the official road outside the mountain.

After running wildly for two hours in a row, even with his current body, he was a little tired, so he found a piece of grass and sat down on the side of the official road, intending to rest for a while before hurrying.

He looked at the mountains behind him, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional, last year he went into the mountains to find immortals, and walked for several days before he walked to the Qingyang Temple, but now he has only practiced for less than a year, and he didn't even need half a day's work when he came out again.

"That Sun Jinjia and Qingyang Mountain belong to the same boundary of Wuzhou, and the distance between the two sides is not too far, with his current footsteps, he can arrive in about two or three days. Hey, it's a pity that my cultivation is not high now, and I haven't even learned a little spell, otherwise I would have been able to go to that post station to help Lin Xu'er get out. ”

He originally planned to visit Sun Jin's family this time, and then go to find the poor little female ghost to see if he could help her get rid of the shackles of the post station.

But then I thought about it, it was thousands of miles away from here, and even with my own footsteps now, it would take at least three or four months to get there, and this time and again would have to be delayed for nearly half a year. My master's longevity is about to end, and I really can't go out at this time, otherwise I don't know if my master will still be alive when I come back.

Besides, he has just drawn his qi now, and he hasn't even learned a spell yet, so even if he goes, I'm afraid he won't be able to help much.

He touched the treasure bag on his waist, which contained the precious "Heavenly Mixed Yuan True Scripture". In the past few months, I have read this exercise countless times, and I can almost memorize it backwards. However, the spells recorded in this book at least require a refining period before they can be cultivated, and with his current cultivation of Qi Enlightenment, he can only sigh with admiration.

After thinking about it for a while, he said guiltily to the little female ghost named Lin Xu'er in his heart: "Please wait, after I advance to the body refining stage, I will come to save you when I learn the spell recorded in the exercises, and this day will not be too far away." ”

After resting for about a quarter of an hour, Luo Yin got up and rushed along the official road, he planned to go to Lingshan County to buy some gifts first, and then visit Sun's house.

It took him less than an hour to arrive at Lingshan County, and after walking around the city, he bought some rice, noodles, sweets, snacks, cloth, and other things to put in his treasure bag, and then bought a horse to ride as he passed through the horse market.

Although at his current speed, he is not inferior to those thousand-mile horses at all, but this way takes several days, and it is too tiring to run on his legs, so it is more convenient to buy a horse to ride.

Luo Yin rode a horse, went out of the city gate, rode out of the dust, and galloped towards the west......

Chu State, Wuzhou, an unnamed small mountain village.

Every house in the village is hung with white cloth, and it is desolate and sad. In one family, the white cloth hanging outside the house has gone through many winds, frosts, rain and snow, and has become decayed, and only half of it is left hanging on the eaves and swaying in the wind.

In the room, two women dressed in white filial clothes were doing needlework, one was a young woman in her twenties, and the other was a gray-haired old woman, and a large pile of clothes was placed next to them, waiting for them to sew and mend.

Next to the two women, a white little boy of two or three years old was sitting on the ground, playing intently with a ball of thread, which was tossed and turned in his hands, playing happily, and from time to time bursts of laughter.

Suddenly, the ball of thread in the child's hand slipped off and fell to the ground, rolling off into the distance. He staggered up from the ground and chased after the thread, but when he arrived, his little foot accidentally kicked the thread, and kicked the thread out of the boss again.

The boy continued to chase after him with small steps, and suddenly he slipped and fell to the ground. I saw him sit on the ground and be stunned for a moment, and then tears welled up in his eyes, and then a cry rang out in the room.

When the young woman heard the child's cry, she hurriedly put down the needlework in her hand, trotted to the child, picked him up, and gently patted her hand to soothe him. In a short time, the child's crying gradually became quieter, and he closed his eyes in his mother's arms, and fell asleep.

The woman gently held the child in her arms, laid him on a small bed in the middle of the room, and covered him with a quilt.

She lovingly stroked the child's delicate face, and a happy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Then she crept out of the child's sleeping cot, went back to the place where she mended the clothes, picked up the needle and thread on the table and went back to work.

The old lady next to her said softly: "Xiulian, there are still so many clothes to be mended, we have to hurry up, otherwise we won't have money to buy rice if we can't deliver the goods tomorrow." ”

The woman named Xiulian also whispered, "Mother, I know. They asked them to hand in the mended clothes by noon tomorrow, and we should be able to finish sewing them in a hurry today, and I will buy some rice when I get paid tomorrow. ”

These two women are the same family that asked Luo Yin to read the family letter last year, and they are also the old mother and daughter-in-law of Sun Jin who saved Luo Yin once.

"There are still more than two months to go until the autumn harvest, and I don't know if I can survive until the time of the grain harvest. Grandmother sighed.

"Yes, if it weren't for the fact that so much grain was taken away by the imperial court this year, we wouldn't even have some grain left. In previous years, when the child's father was still there, all the three acres of land at home could be planted with grain, and even after handing over the imperial grain, there was still a lot left, enough for us to eat until the autumn harvest. Sun Jin's daughter-in-law, Sun, also sighed lightly and said.

"Now there are only two of us women's families left, and two acres of three acres of land are too late to sow seeds, and only rely on the harvest of one acre of land, and there is basically no grain left. ”
