Zhang Zheng looked at him in surprise and did not answer for a while.

The boy did not flinch, and looked directly into her eyes with feigned ferocity. His hands that were tightly clasped together behind his back couldn't help but tremble. If he wanted to live, he must get out.

Zhang Zheng frowned, not because the boy in front of her angered her, but because he reminded her of something.

Even if she finds Jiujiu, how should she place her?

Either find a family to take care of the orphans, or bring them back to the world of cultivation.

The former is too risky. The years of cultivation are changing rapidly, and she cannot visit and take care of her regularly. If she is entrusted to someone else, she will push the person into the devil's cave with her own hands.

The latter is also a problem, not to mention whether they have spiritual roots. Even if they do, the pain of cultivation may not be as good as staying in the mortal world and living a short hundred years of fireworks life, which is at least warm and stable.

Thinking of something, Zhang Zheng suddenly smiled. Why worry now? Their lives are decided by themselves, and they are worrying about what to do for others.

Having someone else do it for you only adds to the trouble.

The boy who was staring at her closely saw her sudden smile and had no idea what it meant. He was also afraid that she would not agree, so he couldn't help but bite his lip nervously.

"Okay, I promise you, but I can only take you out. You have to choose your own way out."

When the boy saw that she agreed, a big stone finally fell in his heart, and he didn't pay attention to what she meant by her choice.

I followed the boy around the refugee area and finally saw the little girl under a dilapidated shed.

The girl stared at Zhang Zheng in fear, twisting her body in fear and trying to shrink into the corner, but she was already in the corner, there was no place for her to hide.

The boy hurriedly knelt down next to her, wrapped his thin arms around the girl's equally thin body, and murmured comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, Jiujiu, don't be afraid. We can leave, I will protect you."

Jiujiu's eyes widened and she shed tears uncontrollably. Zhang Zheng looked at this scene and her heart ached as if being grabbed by a big hand.

She stepped forward in a few steps, and gently placed a hand on her forehead. Soft and warm white light diffused from the place where they were touched, and Jiujiu's frightened expression gradually calmed down under the influence of the white light.

The boy looked at her in surprise, then immediately lowered his head to hide the inexplicable emotion in his eyes.

If Zhang Zheng noticed his eyes at this moment, she would feel familiar, because the boy's eyes were the same as when she first learned that there were cultivators in the world.

Wonder, envy, longing and deepest longing.

Zhang Zheng hugged the sleeping Jiujiu, used a little trick to blind him, and took the boy out of the city in full view of everyone.

It is the dusk of autumn, and the tall trees have all changed into autumn colors, dressed in pale yellow makeup, with fallen leaves fluttering and insects chirping.

When the sleepy Jiujiu woke up, she found herself in a strange open place, with a strange sister standing in front of her with her back to her.

She was a little scared and quietly tugged on the clothes of the boy next to her, "Brother Yin Shu."

The boy stroked her dull hair and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, she is a good person, and she is someone your grandma knows."

Zhang Zheng turned back to Jiujiu and gave her an extremely gentle smile that was almost dripping with water.

"Hello Jiujiu, your grandma asked me to come here to find you. My name is Zhang Zheng."

grandmother……

Jiujiu's crystal clear eyes quickly filled with tears, becoming misty and pitiful.

"Zhang...Sister Zhang Zheng, grandma...what's wrong with grandma?"

Zhang Zheng paused. She would always know. Giving her hope now would only make her torture herself with slim hope in the future.

"Have you ever seen the stars at night? Grandma went to the sky and became one of the stars."

The scene fell into silence, except for Jiujiu's muffled sobs.

Zhang Zheng felt deeply that he was really not good at comforting people, and the pestle was useless here.

After instructing the boy to take good care of Jiujiu, Zhang Zheng took a few steps and disappeared into the woods.

After a while, Jiujiu also slowly stopped crying under Yin Shu's comfort, but his mood was still a little low.

Zhang Zheng also rushed back, carrying a pack of roast duck, two bowls of vegetable porridge, two steamed buns, and two simple clothes.

After finding a clean stone to rest on, Zhang Zheng opened the oil paper package. The aroma of roast duck wafted out and entered the noses of the two children, making their empty stomachs growl.

"You're hungry, come and eat. I don't know what you like to eat, so I just bought some. After eating, please put on new clothes."

The two children looked at each other, said thank you, and began to eat eagerly.

They haven't had a full meal in many days, let alone such a rich meal.

Seeing them eating happily, Zhang Zheng felt a little happy. Finally, her hunting was not in vain.

Of course, she didn't get these from hunting, she was penniless, and her skill at roasting game was not really that good.

I can only rely on hunting prey to go to the city to exchange for silver coins, and then use the silver coins to buy food.

Weighing the remaining string of copper plates in my pocket, I felt happy listening to the crisp sound of metal clinking.

She thought happily that with her cultivation, she could still starve to death as a mortal, and maybe she could become a rich man by hunting.

After having a full meal and putting on new clothes, Zhang Zheng performed a cleaning technique on them, and the two dirty little guys looked brand new.

Apart from being a little sallow and thin, there was no sign that they had ever been homeless.

Facing Jiujiu's shy and dependent eyes, Zhang Zheng smiled gently.

"Next, you have to make your own choices for your own life. I hope you can think about it carefully and don't regret this moment in the future."

Zhang Zheng introduced them to the situation in the world of cultivation in detail, emphasizing the dangers and obstacles involved.

Likewise, she also tried her best to completely analyze the possible consequences of staying in the mortal world and the realm of cultivation.

"If you decide to stay in the mortal world, I will help you find a town to settle in and leave you some money."

"If you want to enter the world of cultivation with me, then I will probably not be able to provide you with any substantial help. You have to rely on yourself for everything. The most important thing is that even if I take you into the world of cultivation, if you are tested and have no spirit,

Gen, I can only be a mortal."

They are just two eight or nine-year-old children, with no power and no support. They step into the cruel and ruthless world of cultivation alone. Maybe the next day will be their death.

Jiujiu, who had always been cowardly, suddenly raised his head and asked: "If I become a monk, can I defeat the bad guys in the town?"

"Not necessarily. The road to cultivation is long. Talent, luck, and character are all indispensable. Of course, as long as you work hard enough, maybe that day will come."

After all, it is the nature of a child, so how can he not yearn for the beauty and wonder of the world of cultivation?

Even though he knows that there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, the child only remembers the bright stars on the other side.

After thinking for a long time, the two children raised their innocent and bright faces and said, "I want to enter the true world."

"good."
