The heavens are happy

Chapter 164
Yang Xiao didn't care about Yin Li and Zhang Wuji's mood changes. After teaching them, he let them practice on their own.

After finding Meng Haima, Yang Xiao gave him some instructions, taught him some martial arts moves, and then Yang Xiao planned to leave for Guangmingding.

After Ji Xiaofeng and Yang Buhui settled down, he planned to take Zhang Wuji out to sea to find the golden-haired lion king Xie Xun, to find the dragon-slaying knife as soon as possible, and to get the "Nine Yin Manual". This is a serious matter.

Yang Buhui and Ji Xiaofu were also yearning for Guangmingding, so in just one day, Yang Xiao packed up and set out, still taking the water route, passing through Shu, everyone shed their boats, and prepared a car from the local altar The horse went all the way west.

The journey back was uneventful, and Yang Xiao was still interested in teaching Yin Li and Zhang Wuji's sword skills.

Sometimes when they met some bandits or unsightly Yuan soldiers on the road, they also let the two take care of them. During this period of time, their martial arts progressed rapidly.

After leaving the land of Shu, he entered the territory of Qinghai, and Yang Xiao also relaxed near the Kunlun Mountains. This place has already entered the territory of Mingjiao, so the journey is smooth and worry-free.

Yang Xiao said to Ji Xiaofu leisurely on the carriage: "Passing the town in front, you will arrive at Yixianxia, ​​and entering Yixianxia is already within the sphere of influence of the Mingjiao General Altar, and further on, it is all Mingjiao territory.

Only the small town in front, although there are many people coming and going, there are many merchants, but it is only used by the Mingjiao to communicate with the outside world, in fact, it is all over the Mingjiao eyes and ears.

Over the years, there have been quite a few secret spies and congregants of Mingjiao, the sky is getting late, and the road ahead is not easy to go, so Yang Xiao plans to spend the night in the town, and then go to the main altar of the Bright Summit tomorrow.

After settling everyone down, Yang Xiao took Ji Xiaofu out for a stroll in the town, Yang Buhui was also coming, so Yang Xiao sent her to learn swordsmanship with Zhang Wuji.

She didn't care much about swordsmanship, but Zhang Wuji was honest. Yang Xiao wanted him to teach Yang Buhui how to practice swordsmanship, so he naturally did his best, which allowed the little girl to calm down and learn swordsmanship.

Yang Xiao walked around with Ji Xiaofu, and there were quite a lot of hawkers and merchants on the street, but after all, it couldn't be compared with the rich places in the south of the Yangtze River, and the two of them were just hanging out together, and didn't care about these side things.

At this moment, she found that the street ahead was crowded with a crowd. Ji Xiaofu was curious, and Yang Xiao pulled her into the crowd.

I saw a little girl wearing simple clothes, kneeling in front of the road with her hair covered, her long hair concealing her face, only from her figure, it can be determined that this girl should only be around thirteen or fourteen years old, her chest There is a playing card hanging in front of it, and there are a few big bright red characters written on the playing card, "Sold one's body to bury one's mother".

Compared to other places, this place is quite peaceful, because there is Mingjiao, so it is also a safe place, and because of this, many refugees from all over the world gather here, making the town There are many orphans on the streets.

Naturally, there are a lot of human tragedies.

The little girl was kneeling on the ground, and in front of her was a woman who had been dead for a long time. Her body was somewhat rotten, covered with some straw, and only her head and feet were exposed.

Even if it is covered with straw, it can't hide the rancid smell, which makes people feel bored.There are many flies flying around on the straw, which have been attracted by the rot.

The little girl's face was dirty, her left foot was limping, and her back was arched. When she raised her head, everyone was even more surprised, but they saw that her right eye was small, the left eye was big, and the corners of her nose and mouth were also distorted. The shape was extremely scary.

The little girl knelt in front of the woman's corpse, her eyes were red and swollen, covered with mist, from time to time she wiped her sore eyes with a pair of dirty sleeves, and sniffled her nose.

The little girl was so strong that she didn't cry out.Her voice was choked with sobs, but she held back the swirling tears, "I beg kind young masters, young ladies, uncles and aunts, please be kind and help me bury my mother. I hope my mother will be buried in peace. I beg you. I Willing to sell myself to bury my mother. I don’t eat much, just give me one meal a day, no, just give me a bowl of porridge. I don’t want a room, I sleep in a firewood house, and the firewood house will be fine. I can do a lot of work Yes, I will work very hard to repay you, and I will never be lazy."

"You are young, what can you do?"

"In this era of wars and chaos and constant natural disasters, it is a luxury to have a full meal. We are down and out, and a family can't eat three meals a day. Who has spare rice to support one more person? Girl, uncle advises You'd better find a mass grave and throw your mother's body away! Or just dig a pit and bury it hastily, you see the smell is already suffocating. In a few days, I'm afraid there will be maggots."

Quite a few people were helpless, and sighed, "Yes, little girl, in this troubled world, just find a place to bury with branches!"

There are quite a few people watching, but who is willing to make a move?What's more, this girl looks so ugly, even if she stays around every day, it makes people feel uncomfortable!

"I beg all the kind people, I don't ask much, I just ask for a coffin for my mother, the worst one will do."

The little girl still didn't give up, she caught a glimpse of Yang Xiao who had been watching her from the corner of her eye, she simply stood up, but because she had been kneeling for too long and was undernourished for a long time, she was dizzy and dizzy from hunger, her feet were numb, and she staggered heavily. He fell to the ground and broke his hands.

But she didn't cry, stood up again, and staggered to Yang Xiao, but she didn't dare to get too close to Yang Xiao, for fear of soiling his clothes.

The little girl knelt on the ground with a "plop" and couldn't get up, begging bitterly: "Master, you must have money, right? I beg you to be kind, I can't repay you, and I will be your slave." .”

When Yang Xiao saw this face, he immediately understood the identity of the person in front of him. This kind of attire should have been flawless, but he happened to meet him. He didn't expect that Grandma Jinhua was really so good that she was willing to take her own daughter out. It's amazing !

In fact, Yang Xiao also had to express his admiration, and Xiao Zhao's acting skills were also good, whether it was the expression on his face, or the somewhat desperate words in the hoarseness, they were all very lifelike, especially the eyes, which made him feel even more so. People feel sympathy.

And with this disguise, it is really difficult for ordinary people to see the flaws, and it perfectly protects itself without revealing its true face, so as not to encounter evil people.

But no matter how cunning the golden flower mother-in-law was, she never thought that Yang Xiao had read the original book, so their plan was doomed to fail from the very beginning!
While Yang Xiao was thinking, Ji Xiaofu looked at the little girl in front of him, feeling really unbearable in his heart, with a sympathetic look on his face, looking at her with warm and sad eyes.

Looking at the little girl who fell on the ground, he didn't care about getting dirty, reached out to help her up, looked at her gently and asked, "Does it hurt?" Then he took out his handkerchief and wiped it off carefully for her. Blood on hands.

Seeing this scene, Yang Xiao, who came back to his senses, couldn't help shaking his head secretly, wondering if Grandma Jinhua counted Ji Xiaofu, but with Xiaofu by his side, he should pay attention to his words.

The little girl, or Xiao Zhao, looked at Ji Xiaofu who helped her up, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Then he knelt down even more excitedly, and kowtowed non-stop, "This master, this lady, you two are like gods and Bodhisattvas at first glance, please do me a favor! As long as I can bury my mother, I will repay you like a cow and a horse, and let me do anything!"
