Seeing Chang Sheng's silence, the white deer was a little anxious. It didn't have much time. But it couldn't rush it, otherwise it would appear that it had evil intentions. The female cultivator in front of it was very vigilant, and it couldn't act recklessly.
Chang Sheng did think for a while and finally spoke cautiously.
"Senior, of course I am willing to help, but I wonder what will happen to the remaining children after I take away these children with spiritual roots?"
Before Bai Lu could speak, Chang Sheng followed closely.
"How about I ask the sect to see if the sect can agree to take all the children back to raise them?"
"...Thank you so much, fellow Taoist. I just don't know how long it will take?"
"My elders should think about it for a while. After all, the sect that the younger generation belongs to is not a big sect. I wonder if the seniors can wait for a while? It doesn't need to be too long, half a day is enough."
Bai Lu was silent for a while, then nodded.
Changsheng was relieved when he saw this, and then looked at the timid children. Those children had been staring at Changsheng in fear from the beginning. Although Changsheng was now a high-level monk, he actually didn't feel too oppressive.
, especially when getting along with mortals, you will be particularly careful not to release pressure. After all, mortals' bodies are not stronger than monks, so you need to pay more attention.
But these children seemed to be very afraid of themselves, especially when their eyes met Granny Fan. If the atmosphere wasn't wrong, they would almost cry.
Changsheng turned around and sent a transmission note to the sect, and then asked if he could rest here for a while. Naturally, he was allowed, and Bailu also asked the three-tailed cat and the oldest child to stay with Changsheng.
Looking at the eldest child with obvious scars on his hands, Changsheng waved to the child who was in good health. She originally only wanted the first girl, but the one with a white covering on one eye
The boy took a step forward and followed Chang Sheng closely.
Chang Sheng did not refuse.
Together with Grandma Fan, a group of people walked slowly along the path. This is indeed a good paradise, with green grass, birds singing and flowers fragrant, it is so beautiful.
Walking here, even my mood seemed to have improved a lot. But when he looked at the two children with physical disabilities beside him, Changsheng couldn't help but sigh.
When she was a child and did not practice cultivation, due to physical reasons, not only was her reaction slow, but she also had large scars on her face, which was almost like a physical defect. Therefore, she could understand how difficult it was for these children to survive. However, the Yu family
Although people would forget her existence, they never abandoned her.
well.
"What's your name?"
The eldest girl looked like she was seven or eight years old. She could already distinguish right from wrong, and could at least express her opinions clearly. When she heard Chang Sheng ask, she looked at her cautiously, and then looked back at Bai Lu.
The location she was in may be because the presence of Bai Lu gave her a sense of security, and her expression was no longer so panicked.
"My name is Xiaokui. This is the name given to me by Grandpa Bailu. His name is Xiaobai, which was also given to me by Grandpa. If my sister wants to ask me anything, feel free to ask."
What a well-behaved child. Chang Sheng sighed, then asked with a smile.
"Xiao Kui, when did you get here? Do you still have any impressions?"
"I have no memory. Xiaokui has been here for nine years and is the oldest child here."
"Oh? Is there no child older than you?"
"No more. All the children older than me have already..."
Having said this, Xiaokui immediately shut her mouth and looked at Changsheng alertly, but then she probably remembered something and explained carefully.
"The other brothers and sisters were all given to families down the mountain or to the Immortal Cultivation Sect by Lord Bailu to become disciples."
"Really? Then you haven't seen them again?"
"Sister, I know what you want to ask. We children are different from ordinary people. Even families who are short of children are not willing to adopt a child with incomplete limbs to increase the burden. So we have the opportunity to be adopted and grow up.
, we all cherish them. If the family or sect where my brothers and sisters are adopted knows that they still miss their previous life or have contact with us, they will be unhappy. So even if I miss my brothers and sisters, I will not take the initiative to go there.
Look for them. But, I can guarantee that everyone is going to a good family."
"..."
Changsheng didn't know what to say for a while, because facing a child who was forced to mature prematurely by life, no matter what he said, it was wrong. If he tried to comfort him, it would only look pale, right?
In the end, Changsheng still didn't say any words of comfort, but just took out two fruits from the storage ring and gave one to each of them. Xiaokui thanked her politely, and then took care of Xiaobai carefully, peeling off the peel for him.
When he finished eating, he wiped the corners of his mouth.
It can be seen from these little actions that Xiaokui is a very careful child. So, she must be able to see many problems that children cannot see, right?
It just depends on whether she can realize it herself.
So Changsheng tried his best to guide in a gentle tone.
"Xiao Kui, have you always stayed here? Then why don't you live here in the future? Compared with the unfamiliar outside world, this place is more familiar, right?"
"Actually, we also want to stay here, but Grandpa Bailu..."
At this point, Xiaokui wanted to stop again, but Xiaobai tugged on her sleeve. Xiaokui was silent for a while, and then spoke as if she was risking her life.
"Actually, sometimes I feel that Grandpa Bailu is a little strange. Of course he is very good to us, but sometimes, I always feel that Grandpa Bailu is a bit unlike him."
"I once heard Grandpa Bailu say, 'Is it really worth doing this?'"
Xiaobai interjected, then raised his face, stared at Changsheng for a while with his eyes covered with a layer of white clouds, and then made up his mind to tell everything he knew.
"Not only do I have white eyes that can't see, but the other one is not very good either. I can only see vague things, so my hearing is better than the average person. Sometimes, there is no one around, but Grandpa Bailu doesn't know what's going on.
Who to talk to."
Xiaobai was too young and his speech was somewhat unclear, but he still told the most important news.
When Changsheng heard this, she couldn't help but frowned. In fact, at this point, she still had another most important issue that she needed to understand.
"Have you ever seen that bad old man?"
The two children shook their heads together.
"This is also the first time we have heard of this person."
This is a bit strange. If that evil old man always comes to harass Bai Lu, it is impossible for these two children to not know any news. Even if they are well protected by Bai Lu and have not seen it with their own eyes, they should have heard about it.
Yes. Then there is only one possibility. Bailu never told these children the news about Lao Dao.
