Xu Lingqing helped the old man up and said sincerely.
"Old man, I came to Anjin City for the first time with no ill intentions, I just want to ask what happened here?"
"Girl, I think you are young, the old woman advises you not to mind your own business, you will die!"
【Trigger the side mission, do you want to receive it? ]
Chen Anping shouted, "Can you give me some spoilers first? What if my electronic girlfriend is killed?"
Chen Anping remained silent...
Chen Anping smiled bitterly and clicked Agree.
………
Xu Lingqing's eyes were firm and she clenched the sword in her hand.
"Don't be afraid, old man, I am a Taoist. A Taoist should be fearless outside!"
The old woman looked at her grandson in her arms, was silent for a moment, and sighed.
"Well, since you are not afraid, then come in with me!"
Walked into the yard.
This place is only about ten square meters, and the decoration is very simple. There are some tools needed for farming.
There is a small bungalow in the depths of the yard. There is a broken table and a bed in the house, and there are uneaten leftovers on the table.
Looking at the familiar scene in front of her, Xu Lingqing remembered her time at Jialan Academy.
The place where she lived was as dilapidated as this courtyard, and she was ridiculed by her fellow disciples for a long time.
"She has already entered the inner courtyard, and she is still living in a thatched hut!"
"A person like him has no qualifications to enter the inner courtyard. It's just that the elders of the college see her as pitiful!"
"Get out! Get out!"
Thinking about it, the obsession in Xu Lingqing's heart became manic, and there was a ray of blood in her eyes.
Suddenly, she only felt a gentle touch on her shoulder, and all her obsessions disappeared.
『Senior』You should be accompanying your group of fellow Taoists in the big mansion now!
The child stared at Xu Lingqing with simple eyes, no longer crying, and there was a hint of despair deep in his eyes.
"Sister, are you thinking about something?"
The old woman looked at Xu Lingqing and waved her palms in front of her eyes. "Girl, are you hungry?" >
The old woman smiled slightly and stood up, "I'll prepare the food first, and then let's chat while eating!"
Not long after, a bowl of fragrant rice and two side dishes were placed in the center of the table.
Mother and son looked at Xu Lingqing after taking a few bites of the meal, with smiles full of relief.
"If you're hungry, eat more!"
The child looked at the food and pursed his lips, and his eyes dimmed instantly.
Xu Lingqing didn't know that this family had very little rice left, and they still hadn't found their next meal after this meal.
“Old man, can you tell me what happened in Anjin City now?”
The old woman drank half a glass of turbid water and told a story.
Six months ago, Anjin City was a prosperous small town, and it was not as dead as it is now.
Since that day, a powerful monk from the city who claimed to be a righteous man found the city lord and claimed to help everyone live a good life. He also drew a blessing picture on the door of all the houses in Anjin City.
The simple residents did not think so much. With the city lord taking the lead, everyone readily accepted it.
Unexpectedly, this is not what everyone imagined. The so-called blessing picture is just the beginning of a tragedy.
Half a month later, the city lord and his family disappeared without any warning, and there was no trace of their disappearance.
In the long period that followed, another living child disappeared.
They all said they were captured by monsters, but why not capture adults?
老妇人说到这里，情绪忽然变得激动了起来，「都怪那祈福图，只要那祈福图一亮，孩子们就会失踪！」
徐凌晴回想起来门外那幅图案, "The picture is carved with a strange beast, with a strange shape and a huge body. It is wearing a dragon crown and feathers. It is bright and energetic, just like the son of a real dragon."
Xu Lingqing thought for a moment, and then thought that the process of recruiting disciples at Jialan Academy was slightly similar.
Every student who wants to enter Jialan Academy comes from large or small families and sects within a thousand miles of the academy.
These families will receive some scrolls in advance with the four characters "Jialan Academy" engraved on them, and then inscribe the names of talented children on the back.
After the scroll spontaneously shines, a teacher from Jialan Academy will lead someone to take away the scroll and the person within ten days.
Over time, the admission scrolls of Jialan Academy were auctioned by some commercial banks, and even fetched sky-high prices. It was also spread on the mainland that those who could attend Jialan Academy were either rich or expensive.
Xu Lingqing was an exception. When an elder recovered the scroll, he found that she had good qualifications and brought it back to the academy.
The child had a gloomy look on his face and said in a hoarse tone, "Mother, will the child be taken away by that bad guy soon?"
The old woman nodded painfully, with small pearls covering her old cheeks.
The child straightened his back and wiped the tears from the old woman's temples with his palms.
"Mother, don't cry, my child is not afraid!"
Chen Anping burst into tears. He was deeply moved by the plot of the game.
「余生一日何足惧，十日光阴亦无忧，生死由来皆有命，且抛愁苦享人生……」
小孩儿放心，我的电子女友会救你的！
Xu Lingqing was infected by Chen Anping. She held the child's hand and felt sad in her heart.
"Don't worry, sister can't let anything happen to you!"
The child laughed forcefully, slapping his chest and said sternly, "Sister, I am a man, I want to protect women!"
This little brat!
Do you know she is my woman!
………
Chen Anping took the remaining six yuan to eat a bowl of Lanzhou ramen and added an egg.
"There are eggs to eat today!"
He happily ate up the noodles and even the soup.
It is a coincidence that on the way back to the park from the ramen restaurant, I saw the disabled old man walking yesterday again.
The old man looked at Chen Anping and waved his hand, smiling kindly, "Young man, you look much better today than yesterday!"
"You are joking, I have terminal cancer and am just a dying person..."
Chen Anping lowered his head, his voice was like a mosquito, and his face was full of frustration.
The old man came to him with a cane and held up Chen Anping's forehead with his vicissitudes of hands.
"Haha, don't give up like that. As long as you have faith in your heart, you won't be afraid of him!"
Chen Anping's eyes flashed with determination, and his peripheral vision happened to fall on the opponent's disabled leg, with three eye-catching red dots marked on it.
Just because he looked at it a few more times, he couldn't help but feel an urge to pierce it with a needle.
"Old man, your legs?"
The old man was calmer than Chen Anping imagined, and said as calmly as water.
