Chapter 842: Miserable
"Huh?" Xue Xue swept casually, and was immediately shocked, covering her mouth with her hand, her eyes wide open, and she looked inside a little incredulously.
I saw that there was only a shabby straw mat in the straw shed, and on the mat was lying on its back a two-foot-sized baby, well, it was not so much a baby as a skeleton! Because the child's head was big, his eyes were deep, his face was not fleshy, and his skin was tightly attached to his bones! He was not wearing any clothes, his ribs were bulging on both sides, his little arms and legs were curled up, and his bones were exposed! If it weren't for the ups and downs on his chest, Xue Xue would almost have thought that this baby was lifeless!
"Poor" Xiao Hua sighed, and continued to move forward, next to the grass shed was a ridge, and an old man in ragged clothes was squatting there weakly, looking at the dozen or so young seedlings in front of him with blank eyes.
Xiao Hua and Xue Xue's voices had already alarmed the old man, but the old man glanced up lightly, his cloudy eyes were cold, and he lowered his head again.
"Uncle!" Xiao Hua stepped forward and bowed down.
"Old man?" Xue Xue saw the difference between Xiao Hua again, and she knew in her heart that although Xiao Hua's face was extremely light when he had cultivated to this point, he might not be much younger than this old man, so there was no need to be so respectful.
"What's the matter, little brother?" The old man didn't seem to want to deal with Xiao Hua, he didn't even look at Xiao Hua, and said in a low voice, the voice seemed to be in his throat, lest he waste his physical strength.
"Uncle......" Xiao Hua's words were blocked in his mouth, and he didn't know where to start.
I thought about it for a moment. Xiao Hua turned to Xue Xue and said, "Lady, do you have anything to eat in your storage bag?"
"Yes, yes" Xue Xue said hurriedly, clapped her hand, took out a jade bottle and handed it to Xiao Hua.
"What is this?" Xiao Hua frowned.
"Bigu Dan," Xue Xue hurriedly said.
"Alas," Xiao Hua shook his head and said, "This thing can only open the valley, and it can't support the consumption of secular people!"
"Oh" Xue Xue's face was slightly red, she understood what Xiao Hua meant, and said in a low voice, "The concubine has not eaten fireworks for a long time. What's there?"
Immediately, Xue Xue's eyes lit up and reminded: "Husband, although we don't have food, but the spirit fruit is ...... I think it can be eaten too!"
"That's right" Xiao Hua slapped his forehead, put his hand on the Buddha, took out a few different spirit fruits, and tasted them one by one. The mouth is gradually bitter!
He had a lot of spiritual energy in his space, and all the spiritual fruits were full of spiritual energy, which was excellent for cultivators, but how could these worldly people eat them, not to mention the old people and babies whose physical bodies were close to collapse.
"How is this good?" Xiao Hua scratched his ears and cheeks a little, he knew in his heart that the old man's situation was better. The baby was in danger, and even if he could fly back to the city in search of food, the baby would not be able to wait for him to come back!
"Why don't you take the baby with you?" Xiao Hua felt compassion.
"Husband" Xue Xue slapped her hand and took out a few spirit dates that had long dried up. He said in a low voice, "This is what the concubine took out to satisfy her hunger in the Xunlei Palace in her early years, do you think it's okay?"
"Great goodness" Xiao Hua stretched out his hand to take the spirit date, kissed Xue Xue's face, and said with a smile, "You have saved two lives today!"
looked at Xue Xue and danced with her eyebrows. Xiao Hua took a bite of the spirit date, then handed the spirit date to the old man, and said with a smile: "Old man, you have eaten this spirit date first, Xiao Ke will ask you slowly!"
The old man's cloudy eyes flashed with a hint of luster, and with a wave of his black, thin, dry and dirty hand, he grabbed a few spirit dates, opened them and was about to throw them in his mouth.
"Old man" Xiao Hua hurriedly blocked the old man's hand. He didn't seem to dislike the filth on his hand, and said in a low voice, "You can only eat this thing one bite at a time, and ...... You can only eat half of it!"
The old man's eyes were horizontal, he hesitated, twisted one out with his fingers, and gently bit off a trace of jujube meat with his teeth!
Xiao Hua carefully observed the old man, lest something wrong with this spirit jujube! But after the old man chewed for a while, he didn't swallow and struggled to get up from the ground!
The old man doesn't have much physical strength now, so how can he stand firm? If he stumbles, he will fall down again! Xiao Hua hurriedly held him up and asked, "Where is the old man going?"
The old man didn't answer, and rushed to the grass hut!
Xiao Hua sighed secretly, grabbed the old man with one hand, and followed him into the grass shed.
Sure enough, the old man eagerly came to the front of the baby, fell to his knees on the ground with a plop, leaned down, and used his mouth to push the jujube meat that had just been chewed into the baby's mouth.
As soon as the fragrant jujube meat entered the baby's mouth, the baby bit greedily, and after a few bites, the baby's slightly trembling lips stopped, and a trace of pain appeared on his face, but then, it was a rapid chew! Obviously, the baby bit his lip with the only rǔ tooth.
"Shadow, slow down, grandpa still has it here!" said the old man's deep voice, and he hurriedly bit a piece of jujube meat, wanting to feed it to the baby again!
Xiao Hua's heart was extremely sour, and he also squatted down, and said softly: "Uncle, the child has no worries about his life, he can't eat more of this jujube meat, you can eat it yourself!"
"Hmm...... Hmm......" The old man listened, and looked at the baby's little tongue that was greedily licking his lips, wanting to give the child more, but he was afraid that something would go wrong, and looked at Xiao Hua.
"Hehe, there is Xiao Ke here, and he won't let the child have an accident!" Xiao Hua said again.
"Woo woo...... the old man whimpered in his mouth, and finally swallowed the jujube meat that had been chewed in his mouth for a long time.
Sure enough, as soon as the jujube meat entered the stomach, it immediately rushed towards his limbs like a torrent, and an incomparable comfort came over, and his limbs suddenly had strength.
The old man was overjoyed, and when he looked at the baby again, his eyes were open, and he even wanted to sit up.
"Thank you, Immortal Chief!" the old man no longer had his previous love and ignored him, and bowed his head.
"Don't" Xiao Hua hurriedly grabbed the old man and said with a smile, "The old man should eat another bite, you don't have to keep it all, Xiao will find a way for the old man later!"
"Yes, yes" The old man's own mind was broken, and when he heard that Xiao Hua actually wanted to find a way for himself, his eyes were shining, and he was a little reluctant to take another bite of the spirit date.
After the old man finished eating the spirit dates, he closed his eyes slightly and rested for a while, and the baby also sat up, with a pair of eyes that looked extraordinarily large because of his thinness, dripping and turning, looking at Xue Xue and Xiao Hua from time to time.
"Little Lao'er's name is Fan Nong, this is Xiao Lao'er's grandson Ying'er!" The old man rested, bowed and said, "Little Lao'er bows to the Immortal Chief and the Immortal Gu for their great kindness, and also asks the Immortal Chief to give his name, the little Lao'er and the grandson will definitely set up an immortal card for the Immortal Elder and the Immortal Gu, and worship it!"
"Hehe" Xiao Hua flicked his sleeves and said, "The name of the poor road is Xiao Hua, this is the lover of the poor road, and the name is Xue Xue! As for what immortal card, I will talk to the poor road later, why is it so barren here?"
"Alas, it's hard to put into words!" Fan Nong sighed, pointed his hand to the bottom of the mountain, and said, "Little Lao'er lives in Fanzhuang at the bottom of the mountain......"
Following Fannon's fingers, in a depression at the foot of the mountain, there was a faint village, scattered with cottages.
"Hmm......" Xiao Hua's casual thoughts swept away, and he wanted to ask again, but at this moment, Xiao Hua's face changed slightly, and he said angrily, "Beast ......"
As he spoke, Xiao Hua's figure suddenly flew up and rushed down the mountain......! It's definitely something Xue Xue has never seen before!
"Husband......" Xue Xue covered her mouth again, and looked at Xiao Hua's figure in disbelief as she had disappeared into one of the cottages in Fanzhuang.
In a moment, Xiao Hua flew back again, only to see a swaddling baby in his left hand, and a thin woman in his right hand, the woman's eyes were closed, and she seemed to have fainted.
"Husband, why is this?" Xue Xue asked a little strangely.
Xiao Hua's face was very ugly, and he didn't answer Xue Xue, handed the baby to Fan Nong, and said, "Uncle, you can feed some of the dates to this baby!"
"Hmm" Although Fan Nong was a little reluctant, Xiao Hua's words didn't dare not listen, so he chewed a little bit of jujube meat and fed it to the baby. At the same time, Xiao Hua pointed his hand at the woman, and the woman who was sitting on the ground opened her eyes.
It's just that the woman with a dead face, who didn't have any brilliance in her eyes at all, glanced at Xiao Hua, and it fell on the baby in Fan Nong's hands again!
"Xiao and ask you," Xiao Hua said coldly, "Since ancient times, the evil tiger has not eaten children, why do you want to slaughter your own baby?"
"Huh??" Xue Xue was startled, and looked at the black and thin woman again incredulously.
The woman ignored Xiao Hua at all, struggling to get up, but after moving a few times, she didn't seem to have much physical strength, and sat down again, her gray eyes rolled a few times, and a hint of sarcasm appeared.
The sarcasm angered Xiao Hua, and Xiao Hua said coldly: "Xiao knows that you have been starving for a long time, and if you don't eat, you will die, but ...... Can you bear to eat your own flesh and blood......? Are you still human?"
"Haha, haha!" the woman laughed sadly, "The slave family is naturally not a human being, what else is the slave family doing!"
As he spoke, he threw himself on the ground and sobbed weakly.
"Xiao Zhenren......" Seeing this, Fan Nong said in a low voice, "I'm afraid that the real person has misunderstood the Qian family, she and Qian Er have always been ...... Filial piety, she ...... This is...... Want to use a child...... Feed her mother, right?"
"Ah???" Xue Xue couldn't help but exclaim again, "That...... What about Qian Er?"
"It's good to teach Xue Xiangu to know," Fan Nong said sadly, "If it weren't for the little old man's guess, Qian Er would ...... Even...... It's already in his mother's womb!"
Xue Xue no longer exclaimed this time, her right hand trembled slightly, and an inexplicable brilliance flashed in her eyes!
"Alas, Xiao is wrong!" Xiao Hua heard this, and his thoughts were immediately swept out again, and when he saw a dying old woman lying on the ground in the village house, he sighed and bowed to the Qian family.
"What can be wrong with you immortal elders? It's all mortals like us!" Qian didn't seem to appreciate it, and said coldly, "Even if we eat the flesh of our relatives and children raw, if there are no spirit stones, you will definitely not make a move! You are naturally at ease, so who cares if I live or die? Now even if you save my child, can you save the slave family? Can you save the slave family's mother? Can you save dozens of old and young people in my Fan Zhuang? Can you revive the starving villagers?"
ps: Alas, there are some things that Xiao Hua will do without hesitation! Even if it has nothing to do with cultivation!!(To be continued......
