Seeing the dirty little girl crying and the crowd looking at him, Manager Li was stunned for a moment.
So she's not mute?
Suddenly, a loud shout came from the high platform in the distance:
"The energy soared into the sky and filled the seven floors!"
"Yes, middle grade fire spirit root!"
"Heqing County, Daliang Prefecture, won another immortal species today!!"
"Congratulations!!!"
In an instant, the sound of gongs, drums, and firecrackers that had been quiet became deafening again.
The sound of people was once again loud, with shouts, cheers, and celebrations, the sound was deafening and continuous.
Only then did Manager Li see a nine-story jade archway erected in the distance. At this time, the jade archway glowed red, like fire stains.
The red light burned from the first floor to the seventh floor, and the sky was illuminated red for half the day.
Looking down, the jade archway is connected to a whole white jade disk, and the mute little girl is still lying on the disk, crying hoarsely, but the people around her are cheering.
Her pain blended into the crowd and made no waves.
It turns out that they were not looking at me, but at the mute little girl who caused the strange phenomenon in the Jade Archway?
She is... a fairy?
Manager Li stared blankly at the usually silly and dumb mute, in disbelief for a moment.
Until, several noble men in rich official uniforms and noble temperaments came from the high platform. Manager Li was stunned to death. Some of them even bowed and saluted the master when they met him in his residence.
He was frightened and knelt down together with the people around him.
From the corner of his eye, he watched them walk up to the little girl, standing happily and talking about how much court attention and interest this immortal could bring to Qinghe County next year.
I have long noticed that she is different. Although she doesn't like to talk, she looks like a child with a lot of ideas in her heart. Do you remember calling me Uncle Li?
Manager Li knelt in front of the little girl who was crying and twitching. Like many people at the scene, he was only thinking about his own affairs.
Suddenly, a calm and slow footsteps came from outside the crowd. An old man pushed aside the crowd and several "big shots" standing tall. They were white-haired but energetic.
She knelt down halfway among the standing crowd, hugged the little girl and stuffed her into her clean wife's robe.
"Why are you crying? Come into grandma's arms. Grandma will make the decision for you."
Then, regardless of the snot and tears on his body, he took out a very clean and exquisitely embroidered handkerchief from his spotless sleeves.
A little rudely wiped the little girl's forehead several times, and then pinched the little girl's nose with a handkerchief:
"Come on, push harder, poof~"
Phew~
The little girl, who was exhausted from crying, tried hard to wake up the runny nose, and finally stopped crying. She stared at the old man in front of her with a red nose.
In the little girl's eyes, the old man put the snot-stained handkerchief back into his cuff without hesitation.
Then, he patted the little girl's face. On her wrinkled face, a pair of bright eyes looked at her with pity:
"You're so pitiful, why don't you go home with grandma first? If anything happens, grandma will help you make the decision."
Poor.
This is the first time the little girl has heard this word. In the past, when people saw her, they always said she was dirty!
Poor.
She repeated the word in her weary heart, and then she said:
"good."
Then he fell asleep in the old man's arms.
"Mr. Lin, it's you who are here. But you can't take her away! She is the fairy of our county and should be taught by our college."
After hearing this, Manager Li also wanted to say that since she signed the deed of betrayal to our house, she should be taught by our house herself!
However, out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the big shot of everyone present who could shock Heqing County with just a stamp of their feet, and he wisely did not say anything.
The old woman carefully took off her husband's robe, slowly wrapped her arms around the little girl, and picked her up.
Then he seemed to notice these important people around him and said calmly:
"I'm not a gentleman from the academy?"
"Well... of course you are, but you teach female students? This... although this fairy is also a female, but..."
"At first I wanted to teach in the academy, but you blocked it, and then you only allowed me to teach female students. So today, I can teach this child!"
"Teach her until she is sixteen, and I will personally send her to the Immortal Sect!"
"Whoever dares to stop me, an old woman, just give it a try."
Then, with her thin and old body, she pushed aside the big shots and the crowd, and walked forward with an indomitable momentum.
All the big shots were chattering, and no one said anything. They turned around and walked onto the high platform. Then, there were a lot of comments among the crowd.
"Who is that old man? He has such an extraordinary bearing that even the county magistrate doesn't dare to say anything about it."
"You don't even know her, her surname is Lin! We are the only female teacher in Heqing Academy, and she has taught many female students over the years."
"I heard that his academic attainments are famous throughout the country, and his poems and books are handed down to the world. He almost became an official in the capital."
"What's the use of a woman studying? And is Mr. Lin so good? I heard that his father is..."
The Fairy Seed Selection Conference was held next, and the crowd continued their carnival.
...
The next picture flickered very quickly.
Mr. Lin helped the mute little girl escape from slavery and leave the Wang family.
Then, after the little girl's identity as a fairy subsided, he took her home once, but the little girl looked at the happy family from a distance and did not dare to go in.
Mr. Lin complied with her wishes, secretly left a few coins, and took the little girl to study in the academy.
He also gave her a name, Lin Xixi.
Mr. Lin treated her like his own granddaughter. Soon, under Mr. Lin's care, Lin Xixi gradually recovered from a skinny girl and slowly grew into a little beauty.
On this day, Mr. Lin returned to the room and held thirteen- or fourteen-year-old Lin Xixi in his arms.
The increasingly older hands slowly wiped the young face, and Mr. Lin said kindly:
"Are you being bullied by those girls again?"
"No...no." Lin Xixi threw herself into grandma's arms, enjoying the old man's touch like a kitten.
"Let me take a look." Mr. Lin looked at Lin Xixi's face, then squinted and took a hard look at her clothes, hands and feet, and finally patted her belly as if he remembered something. .
"Where is your rattle?" The old man's voice gradually became serious. Although the child did not choose to return to the home where she no longer has a place, that kind of thing has always been the most important to her and she carries it in her arms every day.
"Grandma!" Lin Xixi suddenly became nervous, "It's okay, I just lost it accidentally!"
"Hmph! Those girls always team up to bully you, but today they went too far! Grandma will take you to look for them later, and I will go to their house tomorrow to settle the score."
"It's okay." Lin Xixi comforted the old man instead, putting her little hand on the old man's face, "It's okay, it's not a very important thing anymore, it's just... I have some regrets."
The old woman fell silent for a long time before she heard the little man in her arms say:
"Grandma, why don't they want to be friends with me?"
"Because you are an immortal."
"Immortal?"
"Yes, you are an immortal. Immortals are not like mortals and have noble conduct. In the future, you will meet many good immortals and they will become your friends."
As time goes by, the clouds and fog fade away.
Su Xing gradually watched Lin Xixi's life. He didn't know why he felt a little depressed. He was not in a hurry to see the rewards of reincarnation. He opened the door and walked into the courtyard.
Looking at the sky, it seems that not long has passed.
Seeing him coming out, Lin Xixi, who was squatting to look at the buds of the Ming Ling Flower, turned around, her eyes curled into a crescent moon:
"Brother Su, you're out!"
"Um......"
"Brother Su, why do you seem a little depressed? Do you want me to take you around the city?" Lin Xixi smiled slyly, "Hey, I actually want to go. But it doesn't matter if I don't go. I know you, Brother Su. I have been very busy practicing recently, but I actually like practicing very much. I said I would help you..."
"good."
Lin Xixi was still chattering, and suddenly she heard a good word.
Then Su Xing added: "Let's go to Fangshi together."
She looked at Su Xing as if she were looking at her best and most trusted friend, her eyes filled with happiness and joy:
"OK!"
