The Northern Immortal Territory is located at the colder end of the Xuandao Continent, and the temperature is already lower than that of 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 didn't have any spiritual energy fluctuations on her body, was wearing a short coat, and her malnourished little face was 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 find it disgusting at all.
On the contrary, it's 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 went around.
…
Kong Rou 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 someone kicked her out of the stall, the first thing she thought of was to pick up what others saw as tatters.
As long as it didn't break, she would be happy and happy.
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 hopes. She only dared to secretly fantasize about it in her heart.
It's been four days and she hasn't sold a single flame stone.
Grandpa's illness became more and more serious, and she was angry with herself for not living up to expectations and for being useless.
Can't even afford herbs.
Last night, grandpa talked to her a lot and told her to pay attention to her safety in the future.
It's getting colder and the days are getting shorter.
Maybe she will be alone in the future.
In this endless flow of people, she was always an inconspicuous one.
It is destined that he will never 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 could 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 person 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, just 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, Yazi, who was not very smart, asked He Gu 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.
Coupled with the few spiritual stones she had saved, only this price could make up for it.
The owner of the stall next door is a wasteful old man, and the items on display also contain flame stones, and they are of better quality.
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."
Being regarded as a liar, Kongrou felt extremely aggrieved, but she 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 had 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 taking 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.
With the item in hand, his hanging heart settled, 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 the sincere thank you and found an excuse to leave in a hurry.
But he didn't really leave. Instead, he followed the little girl secretly, 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, her eyes were quite pure, and she was a poor person.
Just now, people have too many eyesight, and he is worried that he will directly harm others.
Kongrou was very happy, even her steps were brisk, 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 area of old houses 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 out of curiosity. There were actually white crystal spirit stones inside.
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 in her heart, 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 at all.
It's just that he doesn't want to lose even the last bit of conscience.
He has always cared about owing favors to others.
If he didn't do this, he would always feel like there was a thorn buried in his heart, and he wouldn't be happy until it was 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.
"Kongrou has thanked his benefactor. If there is an afterlife, he will order a cow or a horse to repay this kindness..."
He Gu left with peace of mind.
However, he soon returned.
