The women's faces finally showed smiles, but not to Liu Tian, but to Qiu Ling'er.
"Uh-huh, yes. There are many things here that you can use."
As he said that, Qiu Ling'er's voice suddenly became deeper: "Aunt, you should divide these things first. I want to go see my mother."
"Well. Go ahead, go ahead. Don't worry, we went to visit the grave while you were away. By the way, Ling'er, when you come back, we have something to say to you. It's very important." Aunt Zhang suddenly looked serious.
"Hmm. Okay. Brother Tian, let's go."
Holding Liu Tian's hand, the two walked towards the back of the village.
There is a small bamboo forest here, and there are scattered graves in the bamboo forest.
"That is my mother's grave."
Liu Tian pointed to the most beautiful tomb and spoke. This tomb was worth a lot of money, at least a hundred taels of silver. Liu Tian knew that it was the money Qiu Ling'er earned from selling herself to save her mother's medical treatment.
On that day, if Feng Aotian hadn't appeared, Qiu Ling'er would have been ruined by the buyer.
"Be pretty. My mother was very beautiful before, so after her death, I want her to be beautiful and graceful."
Qiu Ling'er's voice suddenly became choked as she spoke, and tears fell heavily.
Finally I couldn't help it anymore and burst into tears.
"Mother, Ling'er misses you so much. 555555."
"Ling'er also really wants to eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by my mother, and I really want to watch the shadow puppet show that my mother made for me."
Liu Tian gently patted Qiu Ling'er's back, and the scented paper he bought in advance appeared in his hand.
"Stop crying. Let's offer incense to Auntie. From now on, Brother Tian will take care of you and protect you. He will not let you be wronged again. I think Auntie's spirit in heaven doesn't want to see you unhappy."
"Oh...Brother Tian, I know it too, but I just can't help it. I just want to cry."
Qiu Ling'er threw herself into Liu Tian's arms and cried even harder.
Growing up, she and her mother had been dependent on each other. This village had too many beautiful memories for her. This was the reason why she did not stay in the village but went to Sunset Peak. She did not want to be moved by the scene.
After crying for a long time, Qiu Ling'er stopped her tears and said seriously: "Brother Tian, please promise me not to leave Ling'er, okay? Ling'er really can't be hurt anymore, not anymore."
Liu Tian looked into Ling'er's eyes and nodded: "Don't worry. Brother Tian will always be with you."
"Yeah."
Qiu Ling'er kept nodding her head, her appearance of pear blossoms in a heavy rainstorm making people pity her.
"Bake some incense."
The two of them lit incense and placed the sacrifices before turning and leaving.
When he returned to the village, a table had been set up on the narrow street, and there was a lot of food on the table. However, most of them were vegetarian dishes. But Liu Tian could guess that this table of food might be what these aunts had been eating for ten days.
Half a month's worth of food.
"Aunts, what are you doing?"
"Ling'er, it's rare for you to come back, so the aunts will naturally prepare delicious food for you. These are your favorite dishes. There are also a few dishes that your Aunt Wang is making. Come here, we have something to tell you.
"
The aunts had serious expressions and glanced at Liu Tian as they spoke. The look in their eyes seemed to make Liu Tian retreat.
"Auntie, Brother Tian is different from other men. Trust Ling'er's vision." Qiu Ling'er said.
"Then let him sit down too." The aunts sighed.
"Well, Brother Tian, sit next to me. Auntie, tell me what happened."
"A few days ago, some men came to the village." Aunt Zhang said.
"How many men are here?" Qiu Ling'er wondered. This village is located in a remote location and almost no one comes here.
"Well. They came here specifically. Moreover, one of the men claimed to be your father."
"One of the men claims to be your father!"
Buzz! Aunt Zhang’s words kept echoing in Qiu Ling’er’s mind, like a warning bell!
"My dad?"
Qiu Ling'er was stunned and couldn't react for a moment. Ever since she was a child, she didn't remember her father at all.
"Yes. That man said that he had been looking for you mother and daughter for more than ten years before he found news about you in Liangzhou." Aunt Zhang's voice continued, "Ling'er, look at those people, they don't look like
Ordinary people, didn’t your mother tell you anything about your father when she was still alive?”
"No, every time I ask, my mother never answers me." Qiu Ling'er shook her head.
Aunt Zhang sighed: "I guess he is another heartless person. Ling'er, since your mother doesn't want you to know about your father, there must be a reason."
Qiu Ling'er nodded and suddenly asked, "Aunt Zhang, where is he now?"
Qiu Ling'er has too much sadness and too many questions in her heart! She really wants to ask in front of her father, where were you when her mother was seriously ill? Where were you when we two were bullied?
"I didn't tell him your news. He left when he heard that you were not in the village. However, he left a message. He said that if you come back, he asked you to go to Gongsun's house in Bailong City to find him." |
"White Dragon City, Gongsun's family?" Qiu Ling'er's pupils kept flickering, "I know Aunt Zhang."
"Okay, okay. If we don't talk about this topic, the atmosphere has become serious. But Ling'er, the aunts don't want you to go find your father because you don't know what kind of person he is."
"Yes. Ling'er knows." Qiu Ling'er nodded, but Liu Tian understood that the stubborn Qiu Ling'er would definitely go find his father.
"That's good. Come on, let's eat something first. These are your favorite foods."
…
After the meal, Qiu Ling'er took Liu Tian back to the thatched house where she and her mother lived. The furnishings of the house were very simple, but it was spotless. It seemed that the aunties often helped Qiu Ling'er clean it.
"Ling'er, I've always wanted to ask you a question. Why haven't I seen a man in this village?"
Liu Tian finally had a chance to ask this question.
Qiu Ling'er forced a smile and said: "Because the men in my aunties are all heartbroken, they ran away from home and came here. Over time, this place became like this."
Liu Tian nodded thoughtfully: "No wonder they didn't look at me kindly when I first came here."
"Aunts just kind of hate men, but they are pretty nice people."
Liu Tian smiled faintly: "It's quite good. Okay, let's get back to the business. When will we go to Bailong City? It's not far from here and can be reached by horseback in three days. I guess your heart has already flown out."
"Um...you have already seen this." Qiu Ling'er was a little embarrassed, and then said, "Just tomorrow. I really want to see what my father looks like, and I still have a lot to say to her."
Her eyes were full of longing.
Liu Tian suddenly sighed: "You don't hate your father?"
Qiu Ling'er shook her head: "I don't hate it, but I don't love it either. Brother Tian, I want to be alone for a while. You can practice."
Liu Tian nodded. He could understand Qiu Ling'er's mood at this time. From birth to now, she had never seen what her father looked like. She even thought that her father was dead, but she didn't expect that he would come out at this time. She
My mood is naturally very complicated.
Silent all night, Liu Tian and Qiu Ling'er said goodbye to Aunt Zhang and others early the next morning and rode away.
At the same time, the iron claw door.
Leng Tian was very nervous. In front of him was a large medicine vat, and Leng Yifeng was soaking in it.
"Sir, can you pick me up?"
Opposite me, a middle-aged man in a pill robe nodded: "With the Black Dragon Bone Restoring Pill, and this vat of medicine, I can recover in less than a day. Now I am going to use the Black Dragon Bone Restoring Pill.
"
This middle-aged man is the number one alchemist in the Iron Claw Sect. Now that he has obtained the Black Dragon Bone Restoration Pill, he is fully confident in reconnecting Leng Yifeng's severed hand.
As he spoke, an elixir appeared in his hand. When the elixir came out, the aroma was overflowing, refreshing, and just smelling it made people feel refreshed. There was a faint black dragon on the elixir. It is said that this black dragon bone rejuvenation elixir requires Ya
Dragon tendons are used as the main material.
puff.
The next moment, there was a popping sound, and a pale yellow flame suddenly burned in the gentleman's hand.
This is indeed a flame. It is obvious that the alchemist's beast energy has the attribute of fire, and only cultivators with the fire attribute can become alchemists.
Jiuzhou is so big that although there are many cultivators with the fire attribute, they are not many.
As the flame burned, the originally solid Black Dragon Bone Restoration Pill actually turned into a viscous paste. It seemed like it expanded with heat and contracted with cold, and the volume of the paste continued to grow.
"Broken limb!"
The gentleman looked a little nervous.
Soon, Leng Yifeng's severed limb was fixed on his arm.
The teacher did not apply the medicine immediately, but first used a flame to burn the joint between Leng Yifeng's arm and the severed limb.
"ah!"
In an instant, heart-rending screams erupted in the room, and the smell of anxiety assaulted his nostrils.
After a minute, the husband stopped burning and applied plaster to Leng Yifeng.
"Okay. After a day or two of training, you can remove the medicine."
The gentleman breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Thank you for your hard work, sir. Feng'er, how do you feel?" Leng Tian took a step forward.
Leng Yifeng's face turned pale, and the burning sensation just now was heart-wrenching: "Dad, go catch that kid back. I want him to live a life worse than death, a life worse than death!"
Leng Tian nodded: "Don't worry, I have sent someone to inquire. According to the clothes and appearance you said, that boy should be from Sunset Peak, named Liu Tian. However, he went down the mountain yesterday. Go out.
Experienced."
"Going down the mountain?"
Leng Yifeng's eyes flashed.
Leng Tian nodded: "I have sent people to follow him and report his location at any time."
"Dad, then tell them not to take action. When I recover, I will go there myself, and I will definitely skin that kid alive!"
Liu Tian is not in Jiutian Sect, but Leng Yifeng and others have no scruples!
"By the way, father, is there anyone else with him?"
"It seems like there is a woman with him."
"Woman? Hey."
Leng Yifeng grinned with a sneer.
"I didn't succeed last time. This time, I'm going to see who else can save you!"
At this time, Liu Tian and Qiu Ling'er were riding horses on the Qianmo trail. They knew nothing about all this and had no idea that danger was quietly approaching.
