Wu Yu

The big rooster raised in the backyard screamed with its neck stalked, announcing the end of the night, while Xie Lingyu opened his eyes on the bed, his eyes were black and blue, and he showed a bleak smile.

With a soft "bang", someone kicked the door open, Xie Lingyu's smile gradually faded, and when he looked sideways, he wanted to poke his eyes.

The goblin with the fox mask...here again.

Qingqiu Jue sat on the side of his bed, seeing his eyeballs following her all the time, he was dumbfounded and funny, and the funny thoughts came up again, he grabbed Xie Lingyu's chin and squeezed his mouth in.

In an instant, Xie Lingyu's eyes widened, and his pouting mouth matched, cute and pitiful, like some kind of small animal.

The little animal struggled and kicked the instigator, angrily wrapped itself in the quilt and shrank back, cursing angrily, "Don't go too far!"

Qingqiu Jue just tasted it, and let him go, after all, it's early in the morning, and the time is still very long.

Xie Lingyu quickly got dressed, and the man turned his back to him very politely, but Xie Lingyu was in no mood to drag him down: "Everyone is his own, and you must know me well, so why not be more frank."

"who are you?"

Qingqiu Jue stood with his hands behind his back, he opened the window to let the sun shine in, he didn't answer this question, but turned around and said to him, "I'll take you to a place today."

After finishing speaking, he walked away without waiting for Xie Lingyu to ask.

Xie Lingyu shook his head, rubbed his sore eyes, took the folding fan and put it in his arms, and then hurriedly followed.

A wooden house on the outskirts of the city was quiet and sparsely populated. It looked old and the roof was a little damaged, but it was in a good location, without the smell of cold and damp. Xie Lingyu vaguely guessed what it was.

At this time they walked in, only to find that the house was cleaned very clean, there were no dust cobwebs in the corners of the eaves, and there were vaguely visible temporary beds inside, all of which were brand new white cloths, which could be seen with care.

Xie Lingyu couldn't help but glanced at Qingqiu Jue beside her, feeling mixed emotions in her heart.

Before he could think about it, a man in green robe came out with a blanket in his arms. Xie Lingyu didn't pay much attention at first, but when he took a closer look, he found a child about five or six years old wrapped in the blanket. Dull, with white lips... not like a living person.

When this idea came out, Xie Lingyu was taken aback. Just as he was about to ask someone to ask, someone took a step ahead of him.

Qingqiu Jue turned his back to him, his voice couldn't detect any emotion: "It's hopeless?"

Xie Lingyu's heart sank, and he looked at the child blankly, as if he couldn't understand human words for a while, he just thought, he was still so young, maybe he was malnourished, passed out because of illness?

The words of the green-robed man shattered Xie Lingyu's fantasy, and his tone was full of resentment: "This child has been malnourished for a long time, and he has never had a full meal since he was born. The wind and cold have caught us all the way. Do your best."

Qingqiu Jue didn't speak, just stretched out his hand to touch the child's face lightly, took out a candy from his bosom, and stuffed it into the child's heart.Seeing this, the green-robed man couldn't help but his eyes turned red, and said softly: "Young master hasn't come these two days, this kid was still thinking about it when he was unconscious, but he couldn't hold it anymore, and thanked us by grabbing my sleeve, Said he had enough."

The thin and dying child didn't cry or fuss, for fear of soiling other people's clothes, he rubbed his hands with great effort, then grabbed a piece of blue clothes and smiled: "Brother, thank you very much...but I might not be able to take it anymore."

"You are all good people. I've lived so long and I'm already very happy...Beautiful brother doesn't think I'm dirty, and he even feeds me sweet-scented osmanthus cake." As he spoke, he was already out of breath. Intermittently, but still insisted: "You are all well, I, I, in my next life... I will be a cow and a horse... I will repay you..."

The voice did not fall.

His pupils were dilated, his hands fell weakly, and everyone's eyes were red because they couldn't bear it. They only hope that this child will be born in the next life...not asking for rich clothes and fine food, but only for food to satisfy his hunger, and to be healthy and worry-free.

The sun was shining brightly on them, and Xie Lingyu felt bitingly cold. When he saw Qingqiu Jue taking the child gently without saying a word, he felt dazed for a moment.

Qingqiu Jue walked forward with the child in his arms, the man in Qingpao sighed, cupped his hands at the two of them, and hurried into the house, there were still many people who needed him.

Xie Lingyu silently followed Qingqiu Jue, not far away was a pile of graves, not so densely packed, but not too many.

Qingqiu Jue found a green shade, put the child down, picked up the shovel, and dug a small hole bit by bit, Xie Lingyu didn't step forward, at this moment he subtly peeped into Qingqiu Jue's thoughts, he I want to send my child off in person.

Xie Lingyu took out a handkerchief, walked over to wipe the child's face, straightened the folds of the clothes, and suddenly asked, "What's his name?"

Qingqiu Jue kept moving: "There is no name, and the parents are unknown."

At that moment, he felt a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart, stopped talking, and carefully wiped the child's nails, and finally quietly took off the jade pendant and put it in his waist pocket.

He said softly: "Brother has no sugar, you go over there and exchange the jade pendant for money, and buy what you want."

The shovel was thrown on the ground, and a small pit was exposed. The man in green robe brought a small coffin and stele. Qingqiu Jue picked up the child, spread a blanket under it, and put the man upright.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the half piece of jade exposed at his waist, but didn't say much, just nodded the child's nose, and closed the coffin.

Dust filled the gap little by little, revealing a grave that was the same as the surrounding ones, only this one was smaller.Xie Lingyu saw Qingqiu Jue carving the stele himself, his eyes focused.

He didn't engrave the words, he just smoothed it and engraved decorative patterns, more like some kind of scriptures.Qingqiu Jue erected the unfinished stele, Xie Lingyu thought he wanted someone else to carve it, but didn't care.

"There are many such children."

Seeing him speak suddenly, Xie Lingyu didn't react: "Huh?"

Qingqiu Jue turned his back to him, his voice couldn't hear any emotion: "Some children can't make it to Zizhou, and some die directly in the mother's womb. Old people, young people, women and children, none of them are obese, and everyone doesn't care about it." Glorious, but also full of problems."

"They were afraid of us at first, and some strong men tried to attack our people. Later, they realized that we were here to save people, so they took out the food they had accumulated for many days. They had no money, and they couldn't eat enough..."

"Do you know how I feel?"

Xie Lingyu was silent, he knew it, but he couldn't describe the feeling in his heart, he just felt very heavy.

Obviously, the treasury is rich in funds, even if a little bit is given to the people, it will be enough for them to live. How could this situation be caused?

Xie Lingyu opened his mouth, and a group of ashen-faced refugees flashed in his mind. His eyes were full of hope and gratitude, and he carefully gave the things he considered the most precious to his benefactor, even though he was seriously ill and hungry.

He looked at the man's tense back, somehow, he felt that Qingqiu Jue should be very sad at the moment, he was sad for these refugees, and he was also sad for the world today.

Xie Lingyu's heart was filled with strange heat, and he couldn't help but said: "The world will not always be like this, we will see a peaceful and prosperous world."

Qingqiu Jue turned to look at him, the young man in front of him said stubbornly and earnestly: "Too... my most respected and beloved person once told me that the world will choose a master, and those who are vain as kings will betray their relatives."
