105, the third fish brother(1/3)
"Hold still!" the officer and soldier in the lead shouted, "Don't worry, it's okay to panic, they're just two little brats!"
"These damn refugees deserve to die!" the leading officer and soldier said in the direction of the little girl, "Come on, catch these two brats and send them to the refugee camp! The prince will be here soon, and this street
There must not be a single refugee in the city! Otherwise, our lives will be at risk!"
As soon as the prince was mentioned, the officers and soldiers who were originally afraid of the crows surrounding the little girl immediately rushed forward with long knives in hand.
The people watching in the distance were whispering, and someone in the crowd recognized the little boy, "Look, that little boy, isn't he the kid from the Liu family in Xiangwei Alley? He's not a refugee either..."
As the man said this, he was about to step forward to remind the officers and soldiers, but was stopped by others, "Hey, hey, hey! When the officers and soldiers are doing things, are you afraid that their heads will be moved along with you if you come forward? That little cub from the Liu family has been begging for food in this market all year round.
After my father married his stepmother, he was no different from a refugee. If he was really caught by the officers and soldiers and sent to a refugee camp, at least he would have something to eat..."
Feng Ruqing listened to the crowd's discussion and saw the officers and soldiers below surrounding the two children.
The little boy clung to the little girl's body, with his eyes closed, his lips chapped, and he didn't speak. The little girl seemed to be wearing tattered clothes, with strips of cloth hanging on her body. She was thin and pitiful, and her eyes were straight.
He looked like he was not thinking well.
But Feng Ruqing couldn't see the girl's soul at all, she was no longer a human being.
However, she did not have any harmful karma on her body, so Feng Ruqing just watched without taking action.
As the officers and soldiers roared closer, the crows circling around the little girl suddenly launched an attack, catching the officers and soldiers making them scream, and even scratched one of the leading officer's eyes.
This time the leader ran faster than anyone else and asked other officers and soldiers to keep an eye on the little girl. He went back to fetch reinforcements and said, "Wait, little boy, we have a Taoist priest who specializes in collecting monsters!"
After the leader ran away, the remaining officers and soldiers whose faces were covered with blood did not dare to come forward at all. They just surrounded the little girl and the child at a short distance.
The onlookers moved further away, pointing and saying that the little girl must be a demon, and that the Liu family boy had been caught by a demon and was about to be eaten.
Feng Ruqing, Mu Liang, and Jing Feng were all looking down from the second floor. Logically speaking, demons should not appear in the human world, just like monks should not rely on magic to dominate the mortal world.
But Feng Ruqing just watched and didn't take action, as did Mu Liang and Jing Feng.
"I can't detect a soul in her body, nor can I feel any evil thoughts, nor can I tell what kind of monster she is," Feng Ruqing turned her head and asked Mu Liang, "Senior Brother, can you tell?"
Mu Liang is now at the lower level of the Ninth Realm, and can detect the true form of demons at a glance, and can even deduce cause and effect.
But after looking at the little girl for a moment, he shook his head and said, "I can't see clearly. It's not that she has become a demon or a ghost, or she has no soul... Maybe she is obsessed with the world."
"Those crows are all made of resentment," Jing Feng said. "How can such a small child possess such powerful resentment?"
"Sir, do you want to take care of it?" Mu Liang turned his head and asked Feng Ruqing.
Feng Ruqing shook her head, "You have no soul and no sin, so you are not under the control of my underworld."
"Then Jing Feng, go down and take them away," Mu Liang said, "After I settle the account, we can meet in the city."
Jing Feng nodded, and then it was like a gust of wind blowing by. When it fell next to the two children, a whirlwind rolled up on the ground. When everyone squinted, he took the two children away. When the wind stopped, everyone opened their eyes.
When he opened his eyes, he exclaimed that the two children had disappeared.
Feng Ruqing settled the bill with Mu Liang, feeling rather regretful, "I just came here. I heard that the sauced pork here is very delicious, but I haven't tried it yet."
"I'll bring you one," Mu Liang said, "and we'll eat it later when we return to Huangquan."
Feng Ruqing hugged Mu Liang's arm, "Senior Brother, do you want to go with me?"
Mu Liang curled his lips slightly, like a spring breeze blowing across the earth, "Yeah."
Feng Ruqing smiled brightly, hugged Mu Liang's waist, and was dragged by him for a few steps in the room. When they reached the door, Mu Liang stopped and patted her hand, "Little junior sister..."
Feng Ruqing hugged Mu Liang without letting go, "Senior Brother, why don't you carry me down? Anyway, even if you and I appear in front of mortals, we only need to change our appearance, and no one who has seen us will be able to recognize us.
"
Feng Ruqing stood behind Mu Liang and saw that the tips of his ears were red, then she let go of Mu Liang with a smile. Mu Liang was about to hug her, but when he heard her laugh, he knew that he was being played.
Already.
He sighed helplessly, then touched the tip of her nose with his hand, then leaned forward and kissed her forehead, "Be good and don't make trouble outside."
Feng Ruqing grabbed Mu Liang's wrist and said, "Where can I make trouble, Senior Brother? Is the Underworld Ghost Realm OK?"
Mu Liang's fingertips were no longer numb when he heard her say something these days. He looked at Feng Ruqing fondly and replied, "Yes."
Feng Ruqing was stunned for a moment, and then she laughed. Mu Liang watched her smile quietly, and finally pinched Feng Ruqing's pretty face with his fingertips, "Do you think it's fun to embarrass me?"
Feng Ruqing shook her head, "No, I like the senior brother the most when he blushes with embarrassment. When I see him, my heart goes crazy."
Mu Liang chuckled lightly, lowered his head and took Feng Ruqing's finger and squeezed it, then went downstairs with her to pay the bill, packed some food, and then left the inn.
He found a very secret alley, then hid his figure and rose into the sky with Feng Ruqing's sword.
Soon outside the city, Feng Ruqing and Mu Liang came down from the air with swords. Jing Feng was trying to communicate with the two children, but neither of them spoke.
The little boy would hide behind the older little girl, while the little girl would stare at Jing Feng with those dog-like eyes without white eyes.
Feng Ruqing and Mu Liang got off the Qionglin Sword. Jing Feng shook his head at the two of them, "They didn't say anything."
Mu Liang glanced at the little girl and the little boy behind her, walked over slowly, and slowly squatted down to look at them levelly. He did not speak in a hurry, but looked at the two people with a very calm gaze.
It did not have any purpose, and it was not like other adults' looks of contempt, disgust or fear. It was like looking at a bouquet of flowers or a piece of grass. Then Mu Liang's tone did not pretend to be gentle and childish, but just relaxed.
Speak slowly and ask, "Why did you run into the busy city?"
The little girl moved her direct gaze from Jing Feng to Mu Liang, but still said nothing. Mu Liang was not in a hurry and asked again, "Where is home? We can send you there, otherwise the officers and soldiers will catch you.
To be locked up."
The little girl still didn't speak.
Mu Liang usually accepted everyone he wanted to communicate with, regardless of whether he was male or female, old or young, demons or ghosts. But this little girl was so indifferent and wary that Feng Ruqing began to suspect that this little girl was Shi Zizhen pretending to be her.
But just when Feng Ruqing was mumbling in her heart, the little girl suddenly turned her head in her direction, she spoke, pointing to the bag Feng Ruqing was holding, "I want that."
Mu Liang followed the little girl's fingers and looked at the bag Feng Ruqing was holding. Feng Ruqing also lowered her head and said immediately, "What a beautiful idea. My senior brother bought this for me!"
After a while, Feng Ruqing folded her arms and stared at the two children squatting on the ground, picking up bags and eating like the reincarnation of evil spirits. Now she was filled with resentment.
Mu Liang pulled Feng Ruqing's arm and said, "Little junior sister."
Feng Ruqing turned her head with a look of reluctance, and Jing Feng couldn't help but want to laugh. The two little ones on the ground who were "seizing food from the tiger's mouth" didn't know whose share they were eating, and they were too busy working without raising their heads or eyes.
"I'll buy you another later," Mu Liang whispered to comfort Feng Ruqing.
Feng Ruqing didn't insist on fighting over this stutter, but she just wanted to see Mu Liang in trouble.
At this moment, she especially wanted to be arrogant and willful, and she wanted to be coaxed, because when she saw the appearance of these two little brats, she thought that she had looked like this when she was in the world, and maybe she was not as good as these two.
But now she has someone who loves her, and she has the ability to live a good life on her own.
This kind of mentality is like a poor man who has been poor for many years and suddenly gets a windfall that he will not be able to use up in his whole life. The most he can do is get up and eat an extra bowl of noodles with meat the next morning.
Feng Ruqing made a total of three dishes, all of which are signatures of this restaurant. They are large in portion and all are meat.
The two kids ate nothing. After eating, Mu Liang went up to ask again. The two kids, who had been as tight-lipped as clam shells, finally spoke.
As Feng Ruqing had heard from the crowd before, the little boy was from the Liu family in Xiangwei Alley. He usually begged on the street to make a living.
He was often not given food at home, but some of his neighbors felt better and gave him something to eat like a dog, which was enough for him to survive.
It's just that in recent days, some princes and lords in the city have been patrolling and no refugees or common people are allowed.
Due to the severe drought in the south, many refugees came. They were resettled in the mountains and were not allowed to enter the city. The beggars in the city were also expelled. The child of the Liu family had nothing to eat at home and was really hungry, so he went out to beg for some food.
It's a pity that I can't get it.
Those neighbors who were usually kind-hearted were afraid of getting into trouble, so they turned a blind eye to him.
"It's this sister who brings me food every day." The little boy from the Liu family pointed to the little girl who had been standing next to him. "My sister said that if you follow her, you will have enough to eat."
Mu Liang then looked at the little girl, and without exposing the fact that she was not a human being and had unknown intentions in front of the little boy, he asked her, "Where is your home?"
"Fen'an Road." the little girl said.
Jing Feng immediately said, "It's exactly the place in the south where there is a severe drought. I went there to drive away evil spirits a few days ago, but the evil spirits ran away."
Jing Feng said, "I suspect that the evil spirits are the gods who fell from the upper realm. Their divine power is almost undamaged and very strong."
Feng Ruqing looked at Jing Feng, "Is there anyone who can't even grasp your current level of cultivation?"
"Well," Jing Feng said, "I brought many disciples with me, but I was really no match for him. I didn't lose my life at all. After I let the evil spirit run away, I searched around there for a long time and couldn't find it."
When Mu Liang heard this, he looked at the little girl and asked, "What's your name?"
Mu Liang's eyes fell on the resentful crow behind her, and after a moment he fell on the little girl's eyes, which were so dark that there was no light, almost like two empty eyes.
"Are you a refugee who escaped from Fen'an Road?"
The little girl looked at Mu Liang for a long time and then said, "My name is Yueling, and I am a refugee from Fen'an Road."
Feng Ruqing and the three of them looked at each other, and then Mu Liang said, "Then let's take you home."
Yue Ling did not speak, but instead looked at the little boy behind her. The look in her eyes was different from when she looked at Mu Liang and the others, and there was a kind of inseparability in it.
"Her parents don't want her anymore," Yue Ling said.
The little boy nodded when he heard this, "I will follow my sister."
Feng Ruqing was not a delicate person, so she almost blurted out that your sister is not a human being.
She stared at the little boy to see his fate, and after a moment she was surprised to find that it was "her", not "him".
