Qing Leng Master Rescue Plan

After leaving Wutou Village, the sky gradually brightened.

It may be because of tossing all night, Li Mingjue felt drowsy.

What Jiang Xuanling meant was that he might as well stay here for one more day, and continue on his way after Li Mingjue had enough rest.

Li Mingjue refused, and still had lingering fears about last night's grave digging, corpse hunting, and burning.

I don't want to stay here any longer.

Jiang Xuanling had no choice but to find a horse, put him in his arms to sleep, and slowly swayed forward along the official road.

The two went down the mountain to travel, and they didn't decide on a place at first. Anyway, wherever they went and played, there was really nothing interesting to do, so they practiced together on the spot.

Li Mingjue has always believed that the most fun thing in this world is being held in the arms of the master and practicing double cultivation in various heroic and dissolute postures.

Then he wished that there were no interesting sights in the area, so that he could confidently drag Master to double cultivation together.

Li Mingjue fell into a drowsy sleep, half dreaming and half awake, noisy sounds came from his ears.

He has always been a person who likes to watch the excitement, so he woke up from the dream immediately, grabbed Jiang Xuanling's arm, and asked pokingly, "What's the matter, what's the matter? What the hell is happening, let me see it?"

Jiang Xuanling shook his head helplessly, raised his hand and pointed to the side of the road.

Following the direction of the master's finger, I saw a circle of people around the road not far away, and the noise came from there.

Looking closer, I saw a big man in the crowd roughly kicking and beating a thin woman.

The woman was wearing a coarse cloth that had been washed until it turned white. She curled up on the ground and covered her head and face with her hands. There was a seven or eight-month-old child sitting next to her.

The child didn't understand what his parents were doing, and was looking at them with wide eyes and blank faces.

"Fuck! Bitch! I'm working hard to make money outside! What will you do? You can only take care of the children at home! You can't even earn a copper coin, and you will be around the pot all day long! I will kill you !"

The onlookers were all interested in watching the excitement, and none of them stepped forward to stop them, and even pointed at the two of them, arguing a lot.

From the comments of the surrounding people, Li Mingjue understood that a family of three went out to buy vegetables. The child saw a rattle drum on the street, and then cried and wanted one. bought it.

As a result, the husband was going to buy food and drinks just now, and he happened to be short of a copper coin, so he asked the woman where the money had gone.The woman hesitated for a long time before saying that she bought a rattle for the child.

Just for a mere child's toy and a mere copper coin, this man beat up his married wife in the street, and he didn't even care about the several-month-old child beside him.

After hearing this, Li Mingjue couldn't bear it any longer. He jumped on the horse and flew off, kicked the man away, and said angrily: "You are a big man, why can't you do something with your hands and feet? You have to Beat your first wife in the street! Are you a man!"

The man was kicked to the ground, got up aggressively, pointed at Li Mingjue angrily and said, "What are you? You want to come here and be a hero? What does it have to do with you when I beat my wife? Why, could it be you?" Have you fallen in love with her? If you fall in love with her, you can buy it for five taels of silver! I don’t even want this little thing!”

As he said that, the man picked up the child sitting on the ground and threw it towards Li Mingjue.

Regardless of the child crying loudly, he threw it over mercilessly as if it was some kind of junk.

Accompanied by the woman's miserable cry.

Jiang Xuanling followed up one step behind, raised his hand and took the child into his arms. Seeing the child crying in fright, he couldn't help frowning.

Before he could say anything, Li Mingjue rolled his sleeves angrily, took a few steps forward, and punched the man, and immediately the man who hit him spurted blood from his mouth and nose.

Li Mingjue said angrily: "You bastard! That's your child, how can you just throw it away? What do you think he is?! A bundle of Chinese cabbage on the street for three cents?"

He was really angry and didn't understand why there would be such a beast in the world who would beat his wife and throw his children in the street.

Is this a fucking thing that one person can do?

The key people around are still watching, and no one comes out to help.

Unexpectedly, this world is so indifferent. Since when did beating one's wife become a trivial matter?

"brute!"

Li Mingjue kicked him again, kicked the man flying, and rolled several times before barely stopping.Just as he was about to kill the beast with his sword, the woman who had been beaten rushed forward.

Hugging her husband on the ground, she burst into tears.

"Please, don't hurt my husband, please, I kowtow to you, please, don't kill him, please!"

The woman's face was covered with bruises, and the corner of her mouth was dripping with blood, and she kowtowed for mercy.

But her husband was ungrateful, pushed her away, got up and left.

Only the woman was left kneeling and weeping bitterly.

Li Mingjue's face was full of hatred that iron could not be made into steel. He had only met the poor widow before, and now he met the poor mother again.

He didn't even understand, why did he continue to live together when he met such a bad person?

Seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.The woman had finished crying, took the child from Jiang Xuanling's arms, bowed her head and thanked her, then picked up the scattered things on the ground, put them into a bamboo basket, and was about to leave.

Li Mingjue hurriedly stopped her, stepped forward and said: "Sister-in-law, don't go, the child is crying like this, he must be hungry. Well, let's find a tavern, and you take the child to eat something , I will pay."

The woman wanted to refuse, but seeing that the child in her arms was crying so pitifully, she nodded and agreed.

They found the nearest tavern and opened a private room. Li Mingjue gave the shopkeeper a piece of gold leaf and asked him to instruct the cook to cook some meals that young children could eat.

After that, he led the woman to the private room and took a seat.

The woman remained silent all the time, she lowered her head and comforted the crying child in her arms, weeping silently.

Li Mingjue saw clearly now that the woman's appearance was not very beautiful, there was a palm-sized red scar on the left cheek, which looked like it was scalded by something.

The clothes are very plain, without any jewelry, even the hair is wrapped in a turban, the child in his arms is not well dressed, and there are patches on the clothes, which should be picked up by others.

But fortunately, the child was dressed very cleanly and ate well. Compared with the sallow and emaciated mother, he didn't look like a mother and child at all.

Li Mingjue was suspicious, this mother should just cut up the meat for her child to eat.

After the food came, Li Mingjue pushed a large bowl of custard over, and said softly, "Feed it to the child, don't starve the child."

The woman nodded in tears, and then used a spoon to scoop egg custard and fed it to the child. Seeing that the child stopped crying and ate very sweetly, the woman smiled a little.

After feeding the baby, she got up to say goodbye.

Li Mingjue was thinking about how to help the mother and son, when Jiang Xuanling who was at the side suddenly asked, "Where did your demon core go? Why did you give birth to children for mortals? And why did you fall to this point?"

As soon as these words came out, not only did the woman's expression change suddenly, even Li Mingjue was so startled that he almost fell off his seat. He said in astonishment, "Master? Is it true? Is this sister-in-law a demon?"

Jiang Xuanling remained silent, staring quietly at the woman in front of him, and seeing her face gradually turning pale, he said again: "You don't have to be afraid, although we are Taoist monks, we will not kill innocent people indiscriminately."

The woman hugged the child tightly, and after a long while, she smiled wryly and said, "Unexpectedly, I have fallen to this point, and I was still recognized by you."

"Are you really a monster? Then you, a monster, how could you be reduced to this point? How could a mere mortal be your opponent? Why didn't you resist?" Li Mingjue asked in surprise.

Then the woman said in a low voice: "My husband's family used to raise mussels for a living, and they are considered wealthy in the local area. I am a mussel spirit who has practiced for 300 years, and I am about to transform into a human form. I didn't expect to bump into a Taoist cultivator and wound me."

"Later, I lay dying on the shore and almost died. Fortunately, I met a child who took me home and put me in his own lotus pond. In this way, I survived. "

"In order to repay my kindness, I will spit out pearls every day. That family is also very kind to me. I made up my mind that when the child grows up, I must marry him."

"Unexpectedly, a fire broke out later, and several members of their family were engulfed by the fire. In order to save people, I rushed into the fire scene."

"It's just a pity, I'm a river clam spirit, and I'm naturally afraid of fire. After saving Engong, I passed out. I didn't know until I woke up that Engong's whole family was burned to death. I couldn't bear to watch him die like this. , and gave him the demon pill in the hope that he would come back to life."

After hearing this, Li Mingjue said anxiously: "You gave him the demon pill. Then you won't be able to go home!"

The woman lowered her head and wept, nodded and said: "Of course I want to go home, but I want him to live more. My face is also the scar from rushing into the fire at that time."

"Ever since my benefactor came back to life, I have been depressed and used alcohol to burn my sorrows. In order to make him happy, I married him."

"But I don't know. Ordinary people are so fond of women's appearance." She covered the scar on her face, tears fell like pearls, "It turned out that I used the grace of saving my life to threaten him to marry me, but he didn't Dislike me."

"He doesn't know anything about raising mussels, and the family's business is gradually declining. After I lost the demon pill, I can no longer spit out pearls. The family is also gradually declining."

"Later, I became pregnant, and my husband began to treat me well. He cooked for me every day and went out to look for things to do. But I never thought that when the child was born, it would... be in a big river clam !"
