Chapter 9 If there is an afterlife, I will make a custom-made cow or horse to repay this kindness.
The Northern Immortal Territory is located at the colder end of the Xuandao Continent, and the temperature is inherently lower than other Dao Territories.
Now it is the bleak time of late autumn again. The sun is setting just after noon, and there is already a hint of chill in the air.
But this girl, who has no spiritual energy fluctuations on her body, is wearing a short coat, and her malnourished little face is blue from the cold.
The traces of time on the girl's clothes are obvious, and they must have been worn for at least several years.
But it's so clean that you won't feel any disgust at all.
On the contrary, it is a bit pitiful.
Of course, these are not the things that attract He Gu's attention the most. The main thing is that the secret stone in his body suddenly trembled.
This is the first time something like this has happened!
After careful sensing, he determined that the source of the Tianji Stone's reaction was an ordinary flame stone in the girl's stall.
Mixed in a dozen pieces of flame stones with different colors, blended into one.
He Gu walked around naturally and walked around.
……
Kongrou squatted in the corner, huddled up with her weak body, unable to help but shiver.
She looked back and forth at the passers-by, her eyes locked on people who might be kind-hearted customers, her big eyes showing deep longing and prayer.
She got up before dawn today and rushed to this street, where she laid out the most valuable things she owned.
Ben had a good spot on the street, but was snatched away by someone who came late.
She didn't dare to resist. Every time she was kicked out of the stall, the first thing she thought of was to pick up the junk in the eyes of others.
As long as it's not broken, she'll be happy and lucky.
She was expelled all the way, and finally no one chased her away until she reached the end of the street.
This is not the first day this has happened, it has been the same for the past three days.
But in order to have a better chance of selling, she still insists on getting up early every day.
Repeat the process of being chased from the street to the end of the street.
Yesterday she met a kind-hearted sister who gave her a spiritual stone without asking for anything.
I heard from the old man at the stall next door that he is a disciple of a large sect and will become a fairy in the future.
She was really envious, but she didn't have any extravagant expectations. She only dared to secretly fantasize about it in her heart.
It's been four days and she hasn't sold a flame stone.
Grandpa's illness became more and more serious, and she was angry at herself for not living up to expectations and for being useless.
I can’t even afford medicinal herbs.
Last night, grandpa talked to her a lot and told her to pay attention to her safety in the future.
The weather is getting colder and the days are getting shorter.
Maybe she will be the only one in the future.
In this endless flow of people, she is always an inconspicuous one.
It’s also doomed that I won’t be able to integrate in this life.
Thinking of this, tears finally came out of her eyes and she choked silently.
No matter how hard the days were in the past, she never cried. At this moment, she can no longer suppress it.
Suddenly, most of the light in the field of vision was blocked, and a blurry figure stood in front of him.
The other party seemed to smile and say something to her.
Kong Rou quickly wiped away her tears with her hands.
He Gu just passed by the stall next door and came here. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived, the girl who owned the stall started crying for no apparent reason.
Do I look that scary... He fell into brief self-doubt.
"Um, how do you sell this?" Seeing the girl's dull reaction and the not-so-smart Yazi, He Gu asked again.
"No, I'm sorry, the sand blew into my eyes." Kong Rou stood up in a hurry.
She nervously quoted the price: "Each flame stone costs... one spiritual stone."
The color of these flame stones was different, and she also knew that the price was a bit high, but the herbs her grandfather needed cost at least twenty spirit stones.
In addition to the few spiritual stones she has saved, only this price can make up for it.
The stall owner of the stall next door is a wasteful old man, and the items on display also contain flame stones, and the quality is better.
Seeing that someone was interested in the rags over there, he quickly interrupted: "Little brother, don't be fooled! If you need flame stones, come here. They also sell a piece of spiritual stone. The quality is several times better. It can be cheaper if you buy more."<
/p>
Being regarded as a liar, Kong Rou felt extremely aggrieved, but was unable to refute.
She stood helpless, her little hands tightly rubbing the corners of her clothes, her head lowered a bit, not daring to look at anyone.
She has given up hope.
Just as she was waiting for He Gu to move to the next door, she couldn't believe what He Gu said next.
"It's a bit high, forget it, it's not easy for you, I bought it all."
"Really, really!" Kongrou was afraid that she had heard wrongly.
He Gu nodded and took out sixteen spiritual stones.
After receiving the spirit stone, Kongrou was happy and said, "I'll wrap it up for you."
"No need." He Gu waved his sleeves and put all the flame stones directly into the storage bag.
When he got the thing, his hanging heart settled down, and the smile on his face couldn't help but become stronger.
"Thank you very much!" Kong Rou was extremely grateful and bowed to He Gu repeatedly.
She was immersed in the joy of meeting a noble person.
But the wasteful old man next door didn't think so, and stared at He Guxiupao with his muddy old eyes suspiciously.
He Gu felt a little guilty for taking such advantage of a little girl, but he couldn't accept this sincere thank you and found an excuse to leave in a hurry.
But he didn't really leave, but secretly followed the little girl, planning to find an opportunity when no one was around to secretly compensate her with a sum of spiritual stones.
He could see that this little girl had a bad life and her eyes were quite pure. She was a poor person.
Just now, people have too many eyesight, and he is worried that he will directly harm others.
Kong Rou is very happy, even her steps are much brisker, as cheerful as a bird out of its cage.
She arrived at a quite quiet and narrow alley and entered an old medicine shop. When she came out, she was carrying two packages of medicines wrapped in yellow paper and tied with straw ropes.
She rushed home, wanting to share the good news with her only relative, her grandfather, as quickly as possible.
She entered an old housing area and was walking when suddenly a dark object fell from the sky and landed in front of her.
Kong Rou knelt down and opened it curiously, and found that it was filled with white crystal spirit stones.
It’s about a hundred yuan.
She was confused for a moment and a little scared.
After regaining consciousness, he quickly closed the package, stood up and looked at the surrounding roofs.
However, it was empty and no one was found.
Just when she was feeling uneasy and struggling, a somewhat familiar voice came into her ears.
It didn't feel like talking normally, it felt more like someone talking into her ear.
"It's for you, keep it carefully." He Gu reluctantly sent a message to her.
This world is cruel, the weak eat the strong, and strength is respected.
In fact, he doesn't need to do anything extra.
It's just that he doesn't want to lose even the last bit of conscience.
He has always cared about owed favors to others.
If he doesn't do this, he will always feel that there is a thorn buried in his heart, and he will not be happy until it is pulled out.
Kongrou finally thought of the guest just now, knelt down solemnly, and kowtowed three times.
The skin on her delicate forehead was scratched, and blood overflowed, but she didn't feel any pain at all.
"Kong Rou has thanked his benefactor. If there is an afterlife, he will order a cow or a horse to repay this kindness..."
