"This little girl has had thin arms and legs since she was a child. If she is targeted by an adulterer, how can she still run away?"
Li Dashan glanced at the girl softly, then turned to look at me, and said in a hoarse voice.
"I don't ask you to take more care of her. When you go out, you just need to find a place for her to live and teach her a trade. All the money spent will be recorded in the account and she will be paid back to you slowly when she starts working."
"This favor...will you help?"
I was silent for a while and then agreed.
First of all, Li Dashan really helped me a lot.
Secondly, this job is actually nothing. It only costs a few thousand yuan to find a place to live, and find a craft and send it directly to the stores that recruit apprentices.
As long as she finishes learning, she can be self-reliant.
When the old couple saw that I agreed, they were very happy.
Until they were leaving, they reluctantly held the girl and gave her instructions.
"Yingying, you must pay more attention to safety after you go out. Listen to your brother Lu Ming and don't run around blindly."
"If someone bullies you, call the police for help."
"You must work hard, learn more skills, and come back to see us when your life is stable."
The old couple asked earnestly.
The girl's pretty face was covered with tears, and she sobbed: "Grandpa, I don't want to go, I just want to stay with you."
Li Dashan shouted loudly when he heard this.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You've been given an opportunity that no one else could ask for in eight lifetimes. Aren't you satisfied?"
As he spoke, he glanced at me, pulled the girl aside with a strange expression and gave some instructions.
I looked at them curiously.
What do you mean by what you just said?
I always feel that there is something strange about this Li Dashan.
After a while, the bullock cart came to pick us up.
When I was about to leave, Li Dashan suddenly grabbed me and hesitated for a long time before speaking.
"Lu Ming, I leave Yingying to you. Please take more care of her. If she doesn't obey, just whip her. If she still doesn't listen, then... please send her back to us."
Seeing him groveling, I felt a little uncomfortable, so I replied seriously.
"Don't worry, although my life is not very good, I can still find food and clothing for her."
Li Dashan nodded with a smile, took out a wad of crumpled banknotes from his pocket and handed them to me.
"Thank you Ang."
"Don't worry, she is not useless and will definitely help you in the future."
Li Dashan said something vaguely, then turned and left.
I looked at his lonely back in confusion.
Help me?
What does it mean?
At this time, the old cow made a mooing sound, pulled the heavy ox cart slowly away, and took us away from here.
We took a three-hour oxcart ride to a nearby town, and then I contacted Sister Bai.
I didn't expect Sister Bai to be fine.
Wondering how they survived?
With full of doubts, I explained to her what happened.
Sister Bai transferred a lot of money to me. I bought a plane ticket with Li Yingying and arrived home the next morning.
I stood at the door and looked at the words "Taoyuan Fortune Telling Shop" that I hadn't seen for a long time, and I couldn't help but feel sad.
This experience will be unforgettable for a lifetime.
Li Yingying hid behind me, curiously stretching out her little head to look at the shop in front of her.
"Brother Ming, is this...is this your home?"
I smiled and nodded.
It’s been a while since I’ve been back. I miss home so much.
I walked in with Li Yingying, and as soon as I entered the door, I met the third child who was about to leave.
The third child had a bandage on his forehead and a cast on one foot. He looked a little embarrassed.
The moment he saw me, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"came back?"
I reached out and hugged him, then helped him to the chair next to me.
"Let's talk for a while."
The third child nodded.
As soon as he sat down, he couldn't help but ask what happened.
After learning that I was kidnapped by Zhang Du and Chen Qingshan, and that they were searching for the hearts of various animals, he took a deep breath.
"You are so lucky to have escaped the ancient evil spell."
I looked at him with some confusion.
"Ancient evil magic? What do you mean?"
The third child took a deep breath and explained.
The so-called ancient evil arts are evil arts spread from some small countries in Southeast Asia. They use the hearts of various animals and some special things to cast spells.
Being able to refine ghosts and elixirs is one of the most evil ancient arts.
My back suddenly felt cold, and I felt like I had narrowly escaped death.
I subconsciously looked back at Li Yingying. If it weren't for her grandfather, I would have died in that barren mountain.
Li Yingying was stared at by me and took two steps back timidly.
At this time, the third child also noticed Li Yingying behind me. He frowned and asked, "Lu Ming, who is she?"
I pulled Li Yingying to the side and sat down, and introduced her.
Li Yingying hugged the bundle in her arms tightly, lowered her head and pursed her pale lips, daring not to speak.
The third child looked at me hesitantly, but hesitated to speak.
"You...you can take care of yourself. I have to leave first."
"Don't...hey..."
Before I could say anything, the third child had already walked out of the door with a cane.
I glanced at Li Yingying with some doubts, and then at the back of the third child who left in a hurry.
At this time.
Sister Bai walked down from the second floor. The moment she saw Li Yingying, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared.
I looked back at Sister Bai, not realizing the seriousness of the matter.
"Sister Bai, I miss you so much!"
Sister Bai's face seemed to be covered with a thin layer of frost, and her face looked a little ugly.
She waved her hand at me and motioned for me to go upstairs to talk.
I was stunned again.
Why did Sister Bai look like this when she saw Li Yingying?
Is there something special about this little girl?
But I racked my brains and couldn't figure out what could be so special about a girl of eighteen or nineteen.
After going upstairs.
After going upstairs, I asked anxiously before my butt could get warm.
"Sister Bai, how did you escape at that time? How is that monster?"
Sister Bai sat on the bedside with her arms crossed.
"After I was injured by Chen Qingshan and fell to the bottom of the cave, they took you away, and then Xu San asked someone to rescue us."
The doubts in my mind were instantly swept away.
The group of weirdos I met in the yard that my third son took me to before didn't look like ordinary people.
Since both parties know each other, they can naturally help.
"That monster was killed by an old man named Pang Qingyun." Sister Bai was silent for a moment, then continued to add: "He is very strong, much stronger than me."
I was a little surprised.
I didn't expect that Pang Qingyun was so fierce!
Sister Bai suddenly looked at me coldly, with a very solemn expression.
"Are you sure you want to take that girl with you?"
I'm a little confused, why is the third child like this, and the same is true for Sister Bai.
"If you don't take her with you, I promise Li Dashan to help her find a place to stay."
Sister Bai sneered.
"Haha, you don't know about this girl yet, do you?"
I scratched my head and shook my head in confusion.
"Is there anything strange about her...?"
Sister Bai stared at me with her eyes fixed on me and spoke in an unhurried tone.
"She is the substitute of the Northeast Immortal Family!"
My pupils suddenly tightened, and bursts of cold sweat broke out on my back unconsciously!
