Just when he was about to continue trying, there was a sound of footsteps outside the yard, which sounded like two people.
"Put the food here." A boy's voice said.
"I don't know how long Brother Immortal will stay in there. He hasn't come out for more than ten days." A soft girl asked timidly.
"Shh! Ling'er, please keep your voice down. Sister Ying said that the immortal brother is in retreat, so we can't disturb him. Let's leave as soon as our things are put away." The boy continued.
When Shen Luo heard this, his eyebrows moved, and he jumped out of the pool, and at the same time he made a hand seal.
All the water in his clothes flew away from his body and became dry instantly. The scattered water droplets merged into one in front of him, turned into a water rope and shot out, opening the courtyard door. .
Two children, one tall and one short, were standing outside the door. One of them was a little boy wearing a shabby green cloth shirt. He was holding a bamboo basket in his hand. He was the little fish he had seen before. .
The other was a little girl with braids and red patched clothes. She looked a year or two younger than Xiaoyu, with a pair of big watery eyes on her rosy face.
They were both startled when they saw the door suddenly opened. The little girl Ling'er subconsciously hid behind the little boy, only revealing her two big eyes.
"Brother Immortal, we are here to deliver food to you. We don't mean to disturb you. We will leave immediately." Xiaoyu reacted quickly and put the basket in his hand on the ground and bowed to Shen Luo. After bowing, he took Ling'er's hand and wanted to leave.
"Wait a minute." Shen Luo called out to the two of them, and in a flash, he came to the entrance of the courtyard.
He opened the lid of the basket, and inside were two light yellow noodle cakes, and a small can containing some white soup, which seemed to be broth, and was still steaming.
He frowned slightly. Although he had not seen the meals of other villagers, these noodles and broth were definitely much better than most people in the village.
"Xiaoyu, help me tell Yingluo that from now on, you don't have to send food every day. Just send an ordinary meal every ten days. Leave the food to other people in need." Shen Luo said to Xiaoyu.
He has now entered the early stage of inedia and has less need for whole grains. He really cannot use such good and so many meals.
"Okay, I will tell Sister Ying." Xiaoyu nodded and said, while Ling'er blinked her big black and white eyes a few times, as if she didn't quite understand the meaning of Shen Luo's words.
"I'll give you these food." Shen Luo smiled and placed the basket in front of the two of them.
When the two children saw the noodles and broth in the basket, their throats rolled, and the little girl's stomach growled twice.
"Brother Immortal, this is your ration. You and Sister Ying are fighting dangerously for the village and monsters, how can we eat your food." Xiaoyu also swallowed his saliva and couldn't help but look at it. Food, still shaking his head.
Shen Luo looks deeplyHe glanced at Xiaoyu and felt a slight movement in his heart.
When he first met this little fish that day, he felt that not only was he very responsible, but he also spoke in an organized manner when facing him. He was a smart kid with a strong character.
"Although I'm not a celestial being who doesn't eat or drink, I don't have to eat every day like you do. One meal every ten days is enough. If I eat too much, my stomach will hurt. Oh." He frowned and put his hand on his lower abdomen, pretending to have a stomachache.
"Please save me and help me eat the cake." Then he suddenly laughed and stuffed two pieces of dough into the hands of the two children.
"Brother Xiaoyu, is what the fairy brother said true?" Ling'er held the dough in her hand, glanced at Xiaoyu, and asked in a low voice.
"My dear brother won't lie to us. Let's eat." Xiaoyu nodded vigorously and said.
"Thank you, Brother Immortal!" Ling'er thanked Shenluo. Unable to bear it any longer, she stuffed the dough into her mouth and wolfed it down. Swallow the bread.
Shen Luo quietly watched the two children finish eating, feeling more satisfied than eating it himself. He handed the small can to them and asked each of them to take two sips, and quickly poured out the broth inside. Drink dry.
"Okay, let's go back early." Shen Luo rubbed Xiaoyu's head, smiled at Ling'er again, and turned back to the yard.
The two children stood at the door for a while. Ling'er picked up the basket and walked away.
But Xiaoyu remained where he was, staring blankly at the closed courtyard door.
"Brother Xiaoyu, let's go quickly." Ling'er walked a few steps and shouted when she saw that Xiaoyu didn't follow.
"Coming." Xiaoyu agreed, reluctantly looked back, and followed.
In the courtyard, Shen Luo walked back to the pool and sat down, but did not immediately start to sacrifice the gold rope, a trace of deep thought flashed on his face.
Just now he touched Xiaoyu’s palm when passing the dough bread to him, and faintly noticed something strange inside his body. Then he took the opportunity to touch Xiaoyu’s head and confirm again.
Although the little fish looked normal, he was suffering from a hidden disease. This disease was similar to what he had before. The vitality in his body was insufficient. I don’t know what caused it.
It's just that this loss of vitality was sealed in a strange way, probably by means of acupuncture, and it didn't show up.
This sealing method is very mysterious and requires a certain understanding of the human body's meridians and internal organs before it can be used.
With his current level of cultivation, he may not be able to do it, and Yingluo, a monk in the Qi refining period, is naturally even less capable. So who sealed Xiaoyu's injury?
"Could it be that Granny Ma?" The figure of the white-haired old woman appeared in Shen Luo's mind.
If she is really that old, then before her magic power is lost, her cultivation level must have at least reached the inediate stage.
He quickly shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and was about to continue trying to sacrifice the golden rope.
At this moment, the whole yard suddenlyThe ground trembled, and the ground also shook, like an earth dragon turning over, and then rumbling sounds came from the direction of the village, as if something huge was approaching the village.
“Another monster attacks the village?” He frowned, quickly wrapped the golden rope around his arm, stood up and walked outside.
As a member of the village now, he cannot ignore the attacks of monsters. Moreover, he has made great progress in cultivation, so these monsters can be used to practice his skills.
While thinking deeply, his figure had already left the courtyard gate. However, not long after walking, his flying figure suddenly stopped.
I saw two thin figures clinging to each other on the avenue ahead. It was Xiaoyu and Ling'er. The latter fell to the ground, his ankle was red and swollen, and seemed to be sprained.
"You two, don't stay here, go home quickly." Shen Luo shouted to the two children.
There is no guarantee that the monsters attacking this time will not be the birds like before. Although this place is deep in the village, it is not safe.
"Brother Immortal, Ling'er's ankle is sprained and she can't walk." Xiaoyu said hurriedly when he saw Shen Luo.
Shen Luo glanced at the little girl's red and swollen ankles, frowned slightly, and looked around, trying to find an occupied house so that the two children could hide first.
But the place where he lives is relatively remote, and there are almost no people living nearby.
At this time, there was a noise from the entrance of the village. It seemed that the situation was critical. It would waste a lot of time to send the two people back to Granny Ma.
