He has always believed that all a person's secrets are hidden in his eyes.
Zhong Yu, I'm just a fool.
Mo Chenyin, Bingxue Smart.
Gu Chen, perseverance and forbearance... He has seen too many people, whether they are smart or stupid, no matter how well they hide it, he can still catch a flaw in the other person's eyes. This is his ability and his
A secret magical power.
But now...
Under the tears, a pair of eyes were as clear as water, as if he could see everything at a glance. From her eyes, he could not see the slightest hatred, nor the slightest strangeness, only... a trace of incomprehension and determination.
First time in life.
He felt that he had made a mistake and was a little curious, "What's the reason?"
Leng Yushu did not answer, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, as if he was lost in memories, and murmured: "Master, that day... it was really cold..."
Her body trembled slightly.
It seemed like I felt a chill for a long time.
"yes."
Ling Ya also seemed to be brought back into her memories, and chuckled: "You had not yet practiced cultivation at that time. It was indeed unbearable for mortals."
…
Late autumn season.
A drizzle began to fall in the sky. It wasn't heavy, but the cold wind in late autumn was extremely biting. The road was muddy. Pedestrians were walking in a hurry, tightening their clothes, all looking for a temporary shelter.
Shelter from the wind.
street corner.
In an alley filled with sewage and a stinky smell.
A teenage girl collapsed on the ground.
She was sallow and thin, and the shabby dress full of patches could not stop the late autumn wind and rain.
It's just that although her lips were purple from the cold and her body was trembling instinctively, her eyes were dull and dead. She just looked ahead blankly, without any life at all, and she didn't seem to feel the cold at all, or in other words, the cold was deep into her bones.
, she was so cold that she lost all consciousness.
not far away.
A young man wearing even thinner clothes had his body twisted, lying on the ground motionless, and seemed to be holding something in his hand.
The strong smell of blood emanated from his body.
Mixed with the stench in this alley, it was even more unbearable.
"Damn it!"
Opposite, two men were cursing and one of them seemed to be injured.
"This kid is so strong!"
"Fortunately, I brought this guy with me, otherwise I wouldn't have killed him. I don't know how he can have such strength when he doesn't even have enough to eat!"
"No matter, take this girl back."
"Hehe, this trip is not in vain. This girl has a good foundation. After keeping her for ten days and a half, she can get new clothes and she can be sold at a good price!"
"..."
In conversation.
The two walked towards the girl.
The girl's expression remained blank, as if she was unconscious.
"You won't be scared out of your wits, will you?"
One of them frowned and said, "If you do this, you won't be able to sell it at a high price."
"Let me see."
Another man walked up to the girl, looked at her carefully, then raised his hand and slapped her.
Visible to the naked eye.
The girl's cheeks were swollen, the corners of her mouth were broken, and blood was constantly flowing down.
only.
There was still no change in her expression, and she seemed to feel no pain.
"Damn it!"
The man was stunned and said, "Are you really stupid?"
Said.
He seemed unwilling to give up, so he raised his hand again and slapped her several times, but no matter how hard he tried, the girl remained silent.
"Damn it!"
The man got angrier and angrier, "I'll just kill him..."
The words are not finished yet.
A figure suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.
Wearing a brocade robe, he looks middle-aged and has an elegant temperament.
In silence.
The two men had disappeared, as if they had never appeared.
…
Quiet room.
"I remember it very clearly..."
Leng Yu shed tears like rain, but did not wipe them away. He still murmured: "My brother and I are wandering outside and living a very hard life... Although I am very smart, Master, you know that not everything in this world is perfect."
It can all be solved with cleverness... Moreover, my brother is still so stupid..."
"I not only want to live..."
"I still want to keep my idiot brother alive..."
"I didn't have enough to eat, I didn't have enough clothes to wear, I was looked down upon and bullied..."
"That's when."
She cried more and more sadly, "I just thought... it would be great if one day my brother died suddenly, so that I could live less tiredly and don't have to starve every day..."
"Master."
"It's not that I'm cruel, it's that I... it's too difficult..."
"Can you imagine?"
She wiped her tears, but she couldn't wipe them all away. "I was not that old at that time... and I was a fool... and I couldn't live any longer..."
"turn out to be."
Lingya sighed: "This is the real you."
"Master..."
Leng Yushu seemed not to have heard anything and looked at him blankly, "Do you still remember the first words you said when you saw me..."
Ling Ya was silent for a moment, stared at her and sighed softly, "Oh, poor girl..."
It seems like he is repeating what he said back then.
It seems to be pitying the cold rain now.
"That's it."
While crying, Leng Yushu suddenly laughed, "At that time, those two people beat my brother to death and wanted to sell me... I knew that my fate would be worse than death... but I couldn't help it.
I am too young and have no strength. I can’t escape. I can only accept it. I can only despair..."
"Can……"
"At that moment, Master, you appeared!"
Speaking of this, she looked at Ling Ya blankly, and an astonishing light suddenly bloomed in her eyes, "You said that as long as you are here, I will never go hungry, suffer from cold, or be bullied... My name is all yours."
given!"
…
In memory.
"Oh, poor girl."
The middle-aged man glanced at the girl and sighed.
Until now.
It was only later that the girl realized the man's arrival.
Until now.
She had just regained some consciousness, and the biting cold light made her involuntarily hug her arms tightly, and her thin body was shaking non-stop.
"Girl."
The man smiled again and said, "What's your name?"
The girl still didn't answer, but the chill became more and more biting, and her body shivered more violently. She couldn't help but hugged her arms tightly, and squeezed out a few words through her teeth, "Cold... so cold..."
"That's all."
The man smiled, didn't ask any more questions, and said with emotion: "Just forget about the past. From today on, your surname...is Leng."
Said.
He raised his head and glanced at the sky.
The wind was biting and whistling, mixed with sparse drizzle.
"The rain is sparse and the wind is blowing..."
He smiled and said, "How about I call you Leng Yushu?"
