From Fengwucheng to the south, the five of them walked and played, slaying demons along the way.
With their strength, they really can't see enough little monsters. Everywhere they go, the monsters are gone, and everything becomes clear.
A month later, Qingyun City arrived.
The carriage drove into the city gate, and Ji Xingge poked his head to take a look.
After a while, she was a little disappointed: "It's nothing special."
Bai Mengjin smiled: "Qingyun City is just a small town with only a few monks. How can there be anything new?"
After saying that, the carriage arrived near Yuelao Temple, and she said, "Let's go, I'll treat you to something to eat."
After careful calculation, she had been away from home for more than ten years. She suddenly tasted the taste of her hometown and felt nostalgic.
"Where is your home? Is there anyone else?" Ling Bufei held a bowl of fried stinky tofu in his hand. He frowned and smiled at other times. He didn't know if it tasted good or not.
Bai Mengjin pointed to the east: "The Bai Mansion used to be there, but now it belongs to someone else."
When she and her brother and sister left, under the witness of the real person Changling, they gave up the power of the Bai family to the nephew of Elder Yi Ming. There is no way to do this. All the people in the family who can practice are dead. Once the three of them leave, the remaining people will not be able to occupy the territory at all.
"There should be some side branches, but they are all mortals and their bloodline is relatively distant."
As he was talking, the light in front of his eyes was suddenly blocked. Bai Mengjin raised his head and saw a woman holding a bamboo basket standing in front of him.
"Miss? Miss, is that you?" The other party was in disbelief at first, and then expressed excitement.
Bai Mengjin frowned: "You..."
"I'm Xiaomei!" the woman said excitedly, reaching out to wipe her face, "Can't you recognize me?"
Xiaomei? Bai Mengjin remembered that she was the little girl who was assigned to serve her.
"It turns out it's you!" Bai Mengjin looked her up and down and couldn't help being surprised, "Why are you like this?"
Xiaomei was only in her early teens at the time. More than ten years later, she is now in her twenties, but her face looks haggard and old. Even if she says she is in her thirties or forties, some people would believe her. The clothes on his body were also very shabby, with patches everywhere. The basket was piled with wilting vegetable leaves, which looked like they were picked up from the vegetable market and were unwanted by others.
When she looked at her like this, Xiaomei couldn't help but shrink back and smiled cowardly: "Made lady laugh..."
Bai Mengjin asked directly: "Why are you like this? When we left, we transferred you to the Yi family. Although you are slaves, you are not without food or drink, right?"
"Miss." Speaking of this, Xiaomei burst into tears, "It's great that you are back. Please save us..."
------------------
"Guys, please come over here." Xiaomei said sheepishly, "A noble man is treading on lowly ground. This place is too dirty. I'm really sorry."
Ling Bufei shook his head: "It doesn't matter."
Seeing that he looks like a human being and speaks and behaves kindly, Xiaomei can't help but feel happy for the young lady. More than ten years have passed. Not only has the young lady become successful in cultivation, but she also has such a fiancé. Finally, her childhood hardships were not in vain.
The five people followed Xiaomei into the alley - it was said to be an alley, but in fact it was just a thatched house made of wood, stone, hay and other materials, one after another, winding and irregular.
The ground was covered with mud, debris was thrown around, and flies and mosquitoes were flying around. As you can imagine, if it rains, there will be sewage flowing across the area, and there will be no place to step down.
Ji Xingge had never seen such a place before. He covered his nose and asked, "Can people really live here?"
Xiaomei gave a shy smile: "We have no place, so we have to live. Miss, go this way, don't get your shoes dirty."
The monks have their own spiritual energy to protect themselves and will not soil their clothes and shoes. But looking at such an environment, the first thing to overcome is the psychological barrier.
At this time, there were not many people in the alley. A few thin and dark children were running around. When I suddenly saw a few of them, I almost thought I was dazzled and looked at them eagerly.
Ji Xingge was kind-hearted. When he saw a child who was no more than three or four years old sucking his dirty fingers, his face was full of desire.
I couldn't help but hand him the pastries I just bought.
In an instant, her action seemed to light a fire, and the children who were watching from a distance suddenly rushed over here, their eyes like hungry wolf cubs.
"Give it to me! Give it to me!"
"I also want!"
Ji Xingge was startled. Just when the children were about to grab her sleeves, Ying Shaoguang waved his fan and held them firmly in place.
"Don't move around! If you move around, not only will you not get food, but you will also get beaten!" His face was so low that it was so scary that the children really didn't dare to move.
Ji Xingge gave them all the pastries and snacks.
Ying Shaoguang withdrew his magic power and said, "Okay, let's eat it all, don't take it from others!"
"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Miss!" An older child thanked him tactfully.
Everyone continued to move forward, feeling very heavy.
Fortunately, the road ahead was not far. Xiaomei stopped in front of a thatched house, rubbed her hands, and said uneasily: "Miss, we're here. The house is a little dirty, please be patient."
She pushed open the door, and a stench hit her face. It was dark inside, and Bai Mengjin squinted his eyes to adapt to the dim light.
The room was very small, with a bed made of some unknown material in the corner, a crooked table with no visible color next to it, and a half-broken cabinet by the wall. There is a pile of hay in the corner of the room, and a girl who is slightly cleaner than the children outside is sitting there.
"Mom?" she called timidly, looking at the guests outside the house uneasily.
Even five people might not be able to squeeze into such a small house, so Bai Mengjin simply didn't step into the house.
Xiaomei put down the basket, took out the cake Bai Mengjin bought for her, and handed it over happily: "Arou, look what mom brought back? Mom is so lucky today that she met the lady! Come and see the lady."
The girl's eyes lit up and she came over to see him as she was told.
When Bai Mengjin nodded, she took the pancake and stuffed it into her mouth, looking very hungry.
Xiaomei touched her head lovingly and said, "Stay here. Mom has something to tell the lady."
The girl's mouth was full and she couldn't spare any time to speak, so she nodded her head.
Xiaomei came out of the room and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, miss, we don't even have a stool, so I have to ask you to stand."
Bai Mengjin didn't care: "It's okay, we don't have to sit down, you can just call someone."
"Yes." Xiaomei said hurriedly, "Wait here for a moment."
Everyone watched as she turned around and squeezed to the back. In front of the door of that room, an old man was knitting straw sandals. Looking at his skinny appearance, he thought that his life would be very difficult.
Xiaomei said excitedly to him a few times and gestured this way. The old man's expression was numb at first, but then he gradually became excited when he caught a glimpse of the figure here.
Xiaomei called to the people in the next room again. After a while, a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people stumbled towards this side. His condition was so miserable that he couldn't bear to see it.
