Beichen Yan took a sip of tea and put down the tea cup.
Ling Xiyue was bored. She picked up a strand of black hair on her chest and played with it on her fingertips. She backed away slightly and leaned back leisurely on the chair.
"By the way, Xiyue, have you been feeling anything strange these past few days?" Bei Chenyan raised his eyelids lightly, looked at the girl opposite, and put a piece of snack on the plate in front of her.
"Strange..." Ling Xiyue glanced at herself up and down, "What's strange?" Looking at Bei Chenyan's worried eyes, she blinked, and then remembered, "Are you worried about the blood bodhi I ate in the Holy Land of the Sages?"
?”
"Yes." Bei Chenyan nodded, "Have you been feeling anything lately?"
Even though he tested Huangfu Qianyu's attitude and knew that Blood Bodhi should be a good thing, Ling Xiyue's reaction at that time was really scary. It was normal for Bei Chenyan to be worried all the way.
Ling Xiyue picked up the snack, took a bite, chewed the jar carefully and said, "Nothing is wrong, except that after the first time it felt like it was about to explode, there was no reaction anymore, and the whole person became much lighter."
Bei Chenyan stared at her for a while, "That's good."
"Don't worry, seeing what Huangfu Qianyu said, Blood Bodhi should be a good thing." Ling Xiyue comforted Bei Chenyan with a smile, "Otherwise, she wouldn't be so crazy, as if she was digging up her ancestral grave."
Bei Chenyan was amused by Ling Xiyue's funny expression and smiled fondly, "You."
Is he relieved?
The least worrying thing is this little guy.
"But what does she mean by saying that it's useless for others to eat it?" Ling Xiyue said "tsk", with confusion on her face, "could it be said that only certain people will exert a certain kind of energy after eating Blood Bodhi?"
For specific utility?”
Who are they? Huangfu Qianyu refers to herself, and what is their purpose?
Anyway, after she ate it, apart from the initial feeling that she was about to explode, she really didn't feel anything else.
"That's all, as long as it's harmless." Bei Chenyan had nothing else to ask for, he just wanted this little guy to be safe and sound and not to scare him anymore.
Ling Xiyue smiled brightly and nodded. Just as she was about to say something, there was a noise outside the window, which attracted her eyes.
"drive"
"Hurry up! Hurry up for me, young lady!"
The sound of the whip was mixed with the girl's laughter and curses.
Ling Xiyue took a closer look, her eyebrows raised slightly in surprise.
"It's Miss Helian."
"She came out to sneak around that little beast again?"
"Get out of the way quickly, or we will be the ones who get whipped later."
"yes!"
…
The street was bustling with people, but at this time, everyone took the initiative to make way for an empty space. Where the shouts were heard, the carriage that was supposed to be driven by horses was actually a little boy pulling the carriage directly in front.
At first glance, he seemed to be less than ten years old.
He was disheveled and had some hair on his face and hands. He was lying on his hands and knees like a wild beast, with a yoke on his body, holding the carriage behind him step by step. His thin body was covered with bruises from the long whip behind him.
The person holding the long whip was a pretty girl, dressed as a foreigner, sitting at the front of the carriage, whipping the boy in front of her, looking at his skin torn, twitching and trembling, and burst into laughter.
It's obvious that she enjoys it.
There were more than ten wild men following on both sides, clearing the way for Helianmin's carriage, and kicking the little boy from time to time.
The business travelers and pedestrians who were watching the excitement were all around. Some even laughed and scolded, and most of them showed sympathy, but no one dared to step forward to stop him. They looked at the waving whip and stayed away.
Ling Xiyue frowned slightly.
Bei Chenyan noticed her expression and then moved his eyes away.
"Master." At this moment, Ma Long happened to come back and stood next to Ling Xiyue.
Ling Xiyue glanced out the window, her brows cold and calm, and asked casually, "What's going on?"
Malon looked and said, "Oh, my subordinate was just on another street and saw it too. Why did he walk here so quickly?"
He stared at the miserable scene and sighed, "When I came up, I asked the people on the roadside casually. This little kid is really pitiful. He seems to be a wolf kid who was captured by the Helian family."
He also felt pitiful, but he had important things to do and couldn't delay. The Helian family was a wealthy family in Wucheng. They were not familiar with the place when they came here. If they caused trouble to their master, it would still be troublesome, so they could only watch and say something.
Pitiful.
The mind is full, but the strength is not enough.
"Wolf boy..." Ling Xiyue tapped her fingertips on the table.
Malone explained, "They are children who were taken away and raised by wolves. On this grassland, the most common ones are wolves."
Of course Ling Xiyue knew that from the look of this child, it was obvious that he did not grow up normally in the human world.
"No wonder..." Ling Xiyue looked back and saw that a child under ten years old could pull a carriage weighing several hundred kilograms and was extremely powerful.
Ma Long rubbed his palms and hesitated, "Master, I think this child is really pitiful, not as good as us..."
"Are you very free?" Ling Xiyue raised her eyes.
Ma Long choked and shut up.
"Have you done everything you were told?" Ling Xiyue picked up the teacup at hand and took a sip.
It's not that Ling Xiyue is hard-hearted, it's because there are too many injustices in the world. If she had to take care of everything, she would open a charity hall, which would make it easier for people to take advantage of her. She is not a merciful and merciful Holy Mother.
Ma Long's expression became serious and he quickly reported back...
Ling Xiyue chewed the cake leisurely, turned her eyes lightly, and glanced at the ragged little wolf boy.
There is a crisp sound of "pop"!
Another whip was thrown hard on the boy's back!
"Don't stop." Helianmin was sitting at the front of the carriage, with a cute and bright smile on his face. When he heard the cheers from the people around him, he became even more excited. He smiled playfully and pressed harder, "Hurry up for me, little bastard."
!”
The little boy in ragged clothes groaned when he was whipped by the whip, leaving traces of blood where his hands and feet had crawled.xdw8
He raised his head in pain, and his raised dark red eyes happened to meet Ling Xiyue's eyes by the window of the tea garden on the second floor.
The tea cup held in Ling Xiyue's hand was in the air.
Surprise flashed over...
In the eyes of the abused little boy, there was no pain or struggle, but something that did not belong to his age and situation, toughness, unyielding, patience, and waiting for something.
That feeling...
Others don't know, but Ling Xiyue understands.
He can't resist at this moment, but if he finds the opportunity, he will definitely be killed in one blow!
"Interesting." Ling Xiyue's red lips curled up slightly, and she slowly put the tea cup down.
"Ah?" Malone, who was reporting, looked confused and stopped.
