Global Desertification: I am accumulating merit in another world

"I didn't change my master!" Taohua stomped her feet, not knowing how to explain such a strange thing, so she had to turn her eyes to Shen Lishu.

Shen Lishu gently called his name, "Are you, Liu Neng?"

Liu Neng was stunned. The familiar feeling almost burned his brain. "Who are you?"

Shen Lishu took out a whip with his left hand and flicked it, "I haven't seen you for so many years. I didn't expect you to be guarding the tomb here.?"

"Bang!" Liu Neng was so shocked that his crutches fell off and he sat down on the ground. "You, you really are..."

"Why, you don't recognize this whip? Although my appearance has changed, the whip will never change."

Liu Neng glanced at Taohua and saw her nod slightly. He then looked at Shen Lishu carefully for a long time and finally believed it.

He dragged his crippled leg to his knees and kowtowed, his voice choking with sobs, "Liu Neng respectfully welcomes the master home!"

Shen Lishu picked up the crutches and helped Liu Neng up from the ground. "You don't have to do this. I am sorry for you. This time, I mainly wanted to come and see Xiaoman."

"Please come in." Liu Neng limped in with a cane, "You don't need to apologize to me, you have never apologized to any of us.

On the contrary, it is us who can live like a human being because of you. You are the person we should be most grateful to in this life."

"Actually, I didn't do well either." Shen Lishu was very ashamed. She always liked to be a hands-off boss and actually didn't do much.

"We're here. Xiaoman lives here." Liu Neng said, pointing to a clean tombstone.

Shen Lishu looked at the tombstone quietly for a while, then took out a bowl of wine and placed it in front of the tomb. "Xiao Man, I don't know if you can still recognize me. I'm back to see you."

After that, he poured another bowl of wine and was about to drink it when it was snatched away, "Peach Blossom!"

Taohua looked calm and gently placed the wine under another tombstone nearby. "Children should not be thirsty for wine. Give it to Yueya."

"Is that Crescent Moon next to her?" Shen Lishu's pupils shrank and his whole heart ached.

Taohua nodded, "A year ago, Yueya followed the caravan to Jiangzhou for business. On the way, she encountered bandits and fell off a cliff. When our people found her, she was already dead."

Shen Lishu took a deep breath and sat on the ground, holding her panicked heart. At that time, she was in the critical period of cultivation and didn't pay much attention to Shui Jing. She really didn't know about this matter.

"Then Liu Neng, how did you hurt your leg?"

"I was accidentally injured in a battle three years ago. Later, I volunteered to come here to look after the cemetery. It also happened to be a good opportunity for me to accompany Xiaoman."

Shen Lishu paused for a moment, stood up, and took out a large stack of bowls from the space. "Taohua, tell me who these people around are."

Taohua pointed to another tombstone and said, "That one is Qiao Yue, from An Ge."

Every time she mentioned a word, Shen Lishu would pour her a bowl of wine. They talked until late at night, and Taohua was so thirsty that she finally finished walking around the cemetery.

Shen Lishu looked at the rows of tombstones in front of him, and he couldn't describe the feeling in his heart, which was sore, swollen and painful.

She walked silently to the last tombstone, poured a bowl of wine, and said loudly: "Brothers, I'm back to see you. I hope everything goes well for you over there and you have a good rebirth!"

At this time, a breeze blew, bringing a little coolness.

Shen Lishu looked up at the sky and saw a bright moon hanging high in the sky, illuminating the entire cemetery.

“May you rest in peace in heaven.”

Shen Lishu said softly, then turned and left.

She did not return to her room on the top of the mountain, but went to the Shuangyue Palace in the backyard, which was the bedroom of Ruyi and Mingzhu.

The two little girls were lying on the bed with their butts sticking out, breathing evenly, with a trace of shiny saliva flowing from the corners of their mouths.

The exposed arms and legs were covered with red marks from being beaten, and were already faintly blue.

Shen Lishu raised her hand and tried to mobilize the power of merit. After a long time, she put her hand down and sighed softly. It didn't work.

She didn't leave either. She pushed them both inside and sat down to practice cross-legged.

Ever since she woke up in the lotus platform of the Heavenly Dao, she hadn't slept much, and she relied on meditation to rest.

Not long after, a hint of paleness gradually appeared on the horizon.

Shen Lishu finished his exercise and woke up the two little girls, "Jixiang, Ruyi, wake up."

"Woo..." Jixiang rubbed his eyes, opened them and saw that it was Shen Lishu. He was so scared that he immediately closed his eyes again, "It's a dream, it's a dream... It will be fine when you wake up."

Ruyi didn't move at all. She turned over impatiently and continued to sleep.

"You're not dreaming." Shen Lishu was speechless. He simply lifted one up with each hand and shook it twice, "Wake up and put on your clothes."

"Ah?" Jixiang opened his eyes and raised his hand to twist Ruyi.

"Ah! What are you doing!" Ruyi suddenly woke up and covered her arm that was pinched and tears welled up in her eyes.

"It's really not a dream."

"Why are you pinching me in your dreams?

Shen Lishu interrupted them and threw them back on the bed, "Don't make me repeat it three times, get dressed quickly!"

"Ah!! Big witch!" Ruyi was frightened when she saw Shen Lishu.

"Huh?" Shen Lishu gave Ruyi a look and she immediately covered her mouth. Her little look of being angry but not daring to speak was quite cute.

Jixiang was relatively obedient. He had already picked up the clothes and started to fiddle with them. After a while, he pouted and said, "I don't know how to put them on."

Shen Lishu looked away and said, "Find a solution yourself. I'll only give you one stick of time."

Ruyi's tears fell down, "You bully people, you are a devil..."

"Hurry up." Shen Lishu didn't feel sorry for them at all. They were only six years old and could only act like a bully at home.

Ruyi pouted, angry but not daring to say anything, and put on her clothes carelessly as if in a huff.

"Come here." Shen Lishu combed her hair and then tied two small buns. "Watch it, you can learn how to tie it yourself later."

Ruyi lowered her head and said nothing, and it was unknown whether she heard it or not.

After tying up Jixiang's hair, Shen Lishu led the two of them out.

"From now on, both of you will get up at this time every day and run with me."

"Ah!! I don't..." Before Ruyi could finish her words, Shen Lishu whipped her and took her away.

The little girl had to stretch out her short legs and run as fast as she could.

What else could they do if they didn't run? Being dragged away would be even worse. If they were seen by others, how would they be known as the Qingli Twin Devils?

After running from halfway up the mountain to the top, Shen Lishu taught them how to meditate. She thought that meditation could help them calm their minds and perhaps they would commit fewer sins.

Half an hour later, Shen Lishu stood up and said, "It's time, get up."

The two little girls didn't move.

"Um?!"

Shen Lishu picked the man up and took a look. Wow!

He actually fell asleep!

"Two lazy girls."

She had no choice but to hold one under each arm and fly down the mountain.

As soon as they landed back at the villa, Ruyi and Jixiang woke up with sleepy eyes. When they saw a woman in black veil in front of them, they immediately smiled very warmly.

The little hands were waving happily, "Sister Ali! Sister Ali!"

Ruyi's eyes turned and she rushed towards her, "Sister Ali, someone bullied us, she didn't give us food, and she even beat us!"

Jixiang also lifted up his sleeves and complained, "Look, sister! This is what she did!"

"What?" Ah Li, the woman in black, changed her expression. She squatted down and checked their bodies, and murderous intent instantly filled her eyes.

"Who hit you? I'll go and avenge you!"

The two little girls looked at each other and pointed at Shen Lishu at the same time, "She! Not only did she beat us, she also wanted to throw us into the mountains to kill us!"

His eyes were full of gloating over the misfortune of a villain who had succeeded.

"She dares!" Ali looked at Shen Lishu with full force, and then frowned when he saw that it was a little girl, "Who are you?

Who gave you the courage to attack the princess of Qingli?"

"The Right Prime Minister has given me the authority to discipline the two princesses. If you have any opinions, go ask her!" Shen Lishu watched the two of them complain quietly from the beginning and had no intention of stopping them at all.

She didn't expect that these two girls would actually add fuel to the fire. She narrowed her eyes slightly and wanted to beat the kids again!

Ali didn't believe it at all!

"You are talking nonsense! How old are you? How could the Right Prime Minister allow you to discipline the princesses? Besides, beating the princesses like this is already abuse."

Shen Lishu shrugged, "Whatever you think, Jixiang, Ruyi, come here, it's time to go back."

Unexpectedly, the two little girls didn't listen to her at all. Instead, they hid behind Ali, secretly making faces at Shen Lishu and pretending to be very scared.

"Sister Ali, I'm scared."
