Jining looked at the busy girl in a daze, and he felt that this figure gradually overlapped with Luo Xiaoluo's figure.
At this time, the girl seemed to notice something, turned her head and asked with a smile: "Master, would you like some tea?"
The crisp voice made Jining wake up. He looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar faces in front of him and felt a special kind of kindness. Then he smiled and nodded and walked into the tea room.
Although this tea room is called a tea room, it is actually just a simple tea stall set up on the street.
At the entrance, a tall copper teapot was steaming, and an old woman with white hair was adding firewood to the stove. It seemed that this simple teahouse was run by a mother and daughter.
At the same time, Jining secretly admired that the path of cultivation that countless people in the lower world dream of is so common in the spiritual world.
Perhaps the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the spiritual world is too abundant. Most people in the spiritual world can practice. Therefore, the mother and daughter can be regarded as practitioners. They are just monks at the lowest level in the spiritual world. The old woman is practicing Qi. Six or seven levels, and the girl is a junior foundation-building monk.
Perhaps because it is the dead of winter, or for other reasons, there is not a single guest in the tea room, which makes the tea room look a little deserted.
Jining looked at the simple tea room with several square tables placed neatly. The tea room is very clean, and there is not a trace of oil on the square tables.
Jining sat down at a square table next to him.
"We have Wu Qing Ling tea and Dong Guiling tea. I wonder what kind of tea you want to drink..." the old woman asked politely.
People in Jining rarely drink tea, so they don’t know the quality of Lingcha. So he casually ordered a pot of spiritual tea, poured a cup and took a sip.
"Huh?" Jining was a little surprised. He didn't expect that there was a trace of spiritual energy in this tea, so Jining began to taste it carefully. At this time, Jining looked outside the tea room with a hint of surprise on his face.
It turned out that his consciousness noticed that several people in the distance were coming in this direction, as if they were heading towards this tea room.
After a while, several tall You clan people appeared in front of the tea room aggressively. The old woman and the girl looked nervous when they saw these people. They seemed to have guessed the reason why these people appeared here.
Several shopkeepers next to the teahouse hid in their shops after seeing these people. It seemed that they were very afraid of these people.
Several people were standing in front of the tea room. One of the You clan monks who was in the late stage of foundation building stared at the mother and daughter coldly and said, "When will your Yuansong owe my young master the spiritual stones?"
The old woman timidly said: "My mother and daughter are running a teahouse here, and they can only make ends meet, and there are no spare spiritual stones. Yuan Song has not returned yet, and he will pay off the spiritual stones when he returns!"
"Hmph, don't use these words to prevaricate Qin. Since you can't pay back those spirit stones, then use this teahouse to pay off the debt!" The You clan monk said coldly.
The mother and daughter turned pale after hearing this, and the girl held the old woman's hand tightly.
The old woman wailed and said, "If this teahouse disappears, how will I, my mother, and my daughter survive?"
"This is your family's business, what does it have to do with us! Qin will come again tomorrow, prepare the title deed for this teahouse, otherwise don't blame me, the Qin family, for being rude!" The You clan monk raised his head and said coldly. .
After saying that, several people left without caring about the mother and daughter who were hugging each other and crying.
Jining looked at the helpless mother and daughter, feeling compassion in her heart, and sighed in her heart, this world is a world for the strong after all, and who cares about the life and death of these weak ones.
Jining was about to step forward to inquire about the situation when he noticed two people approaching not far away. One of them was a young man from the You tribe in gorgeous clothes, and the other should be the young man's entourage.
This young man from the You tribe had a pale face and a frivolous look. It seemed that his body had been drained by alcohol and sex. He looked at the girl with blurred eyes. It seemed that this young man from the You tribe also had bad intentions.
"I heard that the Qin family came to ask for spiritual stones. Why didn't Aunt Wen come to see Zhiren?" The young man from the You tribe put away his eyes and asked politely towards the wailing mother and daughter.
The old woman wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "I can handle this matter myself, so I won't bother you, sir!"
The young man seemed not to understand what the old woman said, and said with a smile: "The Qin family has a good relationship with my Xia family. When Zhiren goes to negotiate, I believe the Qin family will give my Feng family a face!"
"I won't bother you, sir. I will pack my things and leave Luxia City tomorrow." The old woman returned coldly.
When the young man heard the old woman's decisive refusal, his originally pale face suddenly turned red. It seemed that he was very angry inside, and then he rolled up his sleeves and walked away angrily.
At this time, the old woman saw that Jining was still in the tea room, and she quickly bowed and said, "I'm really sorry for disturbing the young master."
Jining said gently: "It doesn't matter, are you willing to tell me what happened just now?"
The old woman looked at the tea room with some reluctance, and then said slowly: "Now that the matter has come to this, there is actually nothing that cannot be said. What happened just now is just an appearance. In fact, everything is a grudge left by the predecessors... "
It turns out that the old woman's family were collateral descendants of the Lu family, which was once the most powerful family in Luxia City. It was just a cycle of heaven. Over the long years, the Lu family was gradually replaced by the Qin family.
Perhaps because they were afraid of the Lu family, the descendants of the Lu family who stayed in Luxia City had always been a thorn in the Qin family's side, so many Lu family members were forced to leave by the Qin family's methods.
However, the old woman's family were only collateral descendants of the Lu family, so they thought the Qin family would not care.
But they were wrong. The old woman's husband died inexplicably while he was out, and her son Lu Yuansong also mysteriously disappeared not long ago, and owed a huge sum of spiritual stones.
Listening to the old woman's narration, Jining's context for the matter gradually became clearer. It seemed that the Qin family did not intend to let go of everything related to the Lu family in the end, so they first killed the old woman's husband, and then used other methods to Killed the old woman's son.
In the end, the mother and daughter were forced into despair and turned into slaves and prostitutes. Jining secretly sighed in his heart that the human heart is the most poisonous thing in the world.
Jining then asked: "When you leave here tomorrow, where do you plan to stay?"
The old woman said sadly: "There is no place left in Luxia City. I am a descendant of the Wen family in Yongning City, and the Wen family still has close relatives!"
Jining sighed softly and said: "Yongning City is hundreds of thousands of miles away from Luxia City, and Luxia City should not have a teleportation formation to Yongning City. How can you reach Yongning City?"
The old woman choked and said: "Teleportation array, how can this thing be something we can use!"
After hearing this, Jining also understood how they could afford the huge transmission costs, so he said: "Although I meet you by chance, if you believe me, I am willing to take you to Yongning City."
When the originally sad girl heard Jining's words, she looked at Jining in surprise and said, "Your cultivation is only at the late stage of foundation building. How will you lead us to Yongning City?"
After hearing this, the old woman also said: "My mother and daughter understand the kindness of the young master! The young master is a member of the human race, and this incident will also bring disaster to the young master's life!"
