Chapter 53 Stand tall and see far
Bai Luo didn't care about this priest who pretended to be a ghost, he still protected his mother-in-law, sleeping on the ground covered with a rag sheet in a corner sheltered from the wind.

But on the second day, suddenly there was another news slowly spreading among the beggars in the city-this priest is actually a very good person.Last night, he distributed some quilts, cotton padded jackets and other things to keep out the cold to these displaced refugees, but the quilts were all snatched up in a short time.

And, just last night, this priest took a fancy to a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, saying that he has the bones and the potential to cultivate immortality, so he directly asked the disciple who sat down to take him back to his cave. , as a sweeper.

So all the beggars in the city gathered at the door of the priest the next day.

Everyone thought, if the priest distributes the quilt once, will he distribute the quilt a second time?A quilt may allow myself and my family to endure a few more days in this freezing weather.

Especially those children who are similar in age to the little boy, they all want to be picked by this person again.No matter what, if you are chosen by him, you will have a stable job, you will not have to live on the street, and you will have hot meals to eat later!

The children looked forward to it one by one, with expectant expressions on their faces.

Bai Luo felt that he was about the same age, so he brought his mother-in-law there to join in the fun.

She went a little late, and a large crowd of black and white people had already surrounded the entrance of the inn.

Bai Luo looked at an old locust tree next to him, so he put her mother-in-law under the tree, and climbed up the tree by himself, thinking of standing tall and seeing far away.After a while, the priest really wanted to distribute quilts, so she just jumped off the tree.There are so many people under it, and there is such a thick snow, she can't fall to her death.

The door of the inn was slowly opened at the third quarter of Yin time.The first to come out were a few capable disciples in black clothes and red ribbons.The disciples held extremely long leather whips, slammed them into the air three times, and shouted: "Let's go, let's go! Make room for us!"

The beggars quickly dodged.Although the whip was thrown in the air, it still hit people if it covered too much area.Some people were too slow to hide when the whip lashed their bodies, and their thin clothes were pulled away at once, revealing the flesh and blood inside, and then they screamed in pain.

The disciples bent down and apologized to the beggars who were unfortunately drawn, which was a sign of embarrassment.

Their actions made the beggars even more convinced that the priest was really a good person.

"If he is not a good man, why does he bend over to us beggars who are not even as good as animals?"

A few more disciples came out from the entrance of the inn, and brought out a pile of firewood and two large pots.

When all the beggars saw the pot, they all boiled up.

"This priest is going to give us porridge?"

Two disciples with long whips stepped forward to maintain order.The rest of the people nervously and orderly put the pot on the pile of firewood.Open the lid of the pot, and there is a fragrance of white porridge coming out of it.

The beggars were excited.Those disciples in black clothes and red ribbons waved their whips and shouted: "Queue up to get porridge! Queue up to get porridge! Cut in line and won't be served!"

Most of the people hurriedly queued up.There were only a few clever children left who wanted to be as lucky as the little boy yesterday, so they still stayed at the door of the inn, motionless.

They were waiting for that priest to come out in person.

..................................................................

There was only a sound of silk and bamboo in the inn door, and a white figure flashed faintly inside the inn door.The children were boiling again, and even the old and sick who were waiting in line for the porridge handout began to stand on tiptoe.

Everyone stretched their necks and waited for a long time, but the white figure just didn't come out, it just hung people's appetite.

The second time, the faint sound of silk and bamboo came again, and the white figure leaned closer to the gate.

Everyone vaguely noticed that it seemed to be a tall and handsome young man, about fifteen or sixteen years old, who seemed to have practiced martial arts all the year round, and his back was as handsome and beautiful as a towering white birch tree.

The beggars made another small commotion.

..................................................................

At the same time, inside the inn door.

The tall and handsome boy said to a purple-clothed priest who came out of the room: "Master, are you awake?"

The priest smiled and said, "Morning Che'er."

After finishing speaking, the priest yawned lazily, and asked again: "Have almost all the beggars in the city gathered?"

The handsome boy said: "It's already been attracted. But the younger brother who measured the characters and told the fortune just now still said that he didn't perceive the horoscope of the witch who will eventually overthrow my entire Eastern Wilderness."

The priest said: "Okay then. Che'er, you can go out with me after a while, and the old man will make a divination himself."

The young man in white nodded and ordered the young disciples in black around him: "Hurry and wash up, Master. We will go out to meet people later."

The younger disciples responded repeatedly, and helped the old man in purple go down.

..................................................................

Outside the inn.

Bai Luo's feet hurt from lying on the big locust tree.As the saying goes, it is extremely cold at high places, and the wind in the trees is much cooler than the wind in the alley below.Bai Luo lay down on the tree, and soon his face and feet ached.

She looked at the white figure floating past and flashing past inside the inn door, and gradually became restless in her heart.

"Fuck it, come out quickly! If you don't come out, I will freeze into a popsicle and hang on the tree!"

Bai Luo moved his hands and feet lightly, and shouted at the mother-in-law under the tree: "Mother-in-law! Are you okay?"

The mother-in-law babbled: "Miss... we can't stay here for long... the priests of Tushan Kingdom are in the house..."

Bai Luo said: "Oh, don't be afraid! The priest of Tushan Kingdom is the best! He will choose a boy in a while, maybe I can be selected. If I am selected, I will be able to take you to live in a big warm house in the future. Heal your wounds, eat delicious and drink spicy food!"

Granny, ah, Bai Luo couldn't hear what she muttered under the tree, but she knew she was mumbling anyway.

Bai Luo moaned, raised his hand, saw a big blue and purple chilblain on his hand, and cursed me in a low voice.

Suddenly, the sound of silk and bamboo inside the door vibrated loudly.

A few black-clothed disciples playing bamboo lutes and Yaoqin came out slowly, followed slowly by a tall old man in purple clothes with a gray goatee.The old man's spirit is very unusual, and people can tell at a glance that he must be a character.

Bai Luo's heart was shaken.

"I'm coming!"
