When Ling'er and Liu Bai rushed back to the Zezhou branch of Yixing Gate, they learned that the Yixing Northern Envoy had left Zezhou at noon today.
"What should we do?" Ling'er said anxiously.
Gao Tianhai had already learned about the chaos caused by the monsters in Yueyang City from the two girls, and said, "Maybe there is a way. I will send a letter to the general altar by flying pigeons, asking the sect master to use blood pigeons to notify the Northern Envoy again. Come back."
"That's great." Ling'er looked at Liu Bai happily.
"I'm going to fix the book right now." Gao Tianhai got up and walked to the meeting hall.
"Let's just wait for the good news." Liu Bai also breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Wang Yuan came over, handed Ling'er a package, and said, "Brother Bei Shi asked me to hand this to Miss Ling'er personally."
Ling'er When I opened the package, I saw five thunderbolt arrows and a bunch of small and exquisitely crafted smoke bombs. Ling'er's heart was filled with emotion.
Early the next morning, Linger went to the inn to find Liu Bai. Seeing that it was still early, the two went to the market together.
Two beautiful girls, one innocent and lively, the other calm and generous, walked hand in hand in the market, attracting the attention of passers-by.
Suddenly, a short figure walked in front of them.
"Two kind-hearted sisters, please give me some food." The little girl who looked like a beggar held a broken bowl pitifully and begged with her body hunched over. Her clothes were tattered but very clean.
Ling'er and Liu Bai took out some broken silver and handed it to her.
The little girl looked up at them in surprise and thanked them repeatedly. Her face is not dirty either, her features are delicate and regular, and she is very lovable.
After the little girl turned and left, Liu Bai slowly talked about his childhood experiences, "I have lived with my mother on the mountain since I was a child. In order to escape the pursuit of my enemies, I have never gone down the mountain. My father was away on business and rarely came home. When he was three or four years old, his enemies came to visit and everyone was killed except me."
Ling'er noticed the faint sadness in Liu Bai's eyes. , reached out and held her hand tightly, and asked, "Who is the murderer?"
"I don't know, and there is no need to know. My mother once told me again and again not to be stupid if something happened in the future. She ran to seek revenge, and she said that as long as I grew up safely, the big revenge would be avenged," Liu Bai said.
"What does this mean?" Ling'er was puzzled.
"My mother only said that this is my fate. I think it is my mission to be the temporary leader now, just like Taoist Priest Ciyun said until the Taoist Priest's demon disappears." Liu Bai said quietly.
"Tao Zhang Mo Xiao means that my sister's enemy who killed her father and mother is a member of the Demon Cult or other evil sects," Ling'er speculated.
“I also thought about avenging my parents, but I was still young and incapable at that time. Later, I slowly figured out that I had more important things to do than personal hatred. I remember the boss hinted to me when he first accepted me." Liu Bai paused and continued, "I will never forget the days when I was wandering around begging.The world is hard, I have seen all the hardships in the world, and I don’t know how I survived in the end. Sister, do you know that my biggest wish at that time was not to fill my stomach? When you are hungry every day, you have become numb, and you no longer yearn for filling your stomach. "
"What was sister's biggest wish at that time?" Ling'er asked.
Liu Bai replied with a smile, "It was to wear new clothes and dress up like other little girls. Like a fairy. "
This was completely beyond Ling'er's expectation. She looked at Liu Bai in surprise.
" Even if I met the leader later and was no longer hungry, I still didn't realize what I wanted at that time. A small wish. Liu Bai said with regret.
Ling'er knew that time could not be turned back, and Sister Liu Bai's little wish might never be realized. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, and she pulled Liu Bai up and went to Go back.
Liu Bai called out in confusion, "Sister, where are you going?"
"I will make my sister's wish come true. "Ling'er said mysteriously.
Liu Bai was still puzzled and let Ling'er pull him forward.
Ling'er found the little girl who was begging just now. He took her to a cloth shop.
Liu Bai finally understood Ling'er's intention and helped them organize a set for the little girl. The finished dress was put into a simple pigtail for the little girl. Since the little girl had taken care of herself neatly, they didn't spend much time washing her. After a while, she was neatly dressed. The beautiful little girl appeared in front of everyone.
Liu Bai looked at the little girl excitedly, as if he saw himself wearing beautiful clothes in the past, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
After that, Liu Bai personally selected some comfortable cotton fabrics for the little girl, and planned to make a few more sets of clothes for the little girl to wear in the future.
After selecting the materials, Liu Bai led the little girl to the inner room. Went to get measured.
Ling'er strolled outside to admire the various fabrics.
This cloth shop is quite large and has a wide range of fabrics, including silk, silk, and silk. Satin, cloth, silk, cotton, silk, silk, silk, all kinds of colors are displayed together in a dazzling array.
Suddenly, the same inconspicuous cloth attracted Ling'er's attention. /p>
Ling'er caressed it casually, then pulled a corner of the cloth and rubbed it, asking, "What kind of cotton is this? Why is it so thick?"
"This is not cotton, this is Caiyun. "The clerk in the store replied.
"Isn't it cotton? It looks really similar." Ling'er carefully observed the fabric again.
"It is indeed very similar in appearance. If you look carefully, even we insiders will get it wrong. But the price of this material is very expensive. "The guy said.
When Ling'er heard this, he said in disbelief, "This material looks stuffy and airtight. How uncomfortable would it be to wear it when made into clothes?"
" It is so expensive to make clothes with colorful clouds, even for our ZezhouThe richest man, Mr. Zhao, is not willing to use it to make clothes." The waiter said with a smile.
"What's the use of this material if you don't make clothes?" Ling'er wondered.
"Cutting A small piece makes a very decent gift. "The guy replied.
After hearing this, Ling'er looked at Caiyunxing again and said, "This is not cloth. This is simply gold."
"This is more valuable than gold. "The guy said with a smile.
As he was talking, Liu Bai had already walked out of the inner room with the little girl.
"What are you talking about?" Liu Bai asked.
p>“I’m talking about a material that is uncomfortable to wear but more expensive than gold. "Ling'er sighed endlessly.
"Then wearing this kind of clothes isn't it like spending money to find trouble?" Liu Bai said with a smile.
"Only a fool would do this, right?" Ling'er said with a smile. Er said. Of course she didn't know that she would encounter such a fool in the future.
After visiting the market, Ling'er and Liu Bai went to the Yixingmen Zezhou branch to get the spirit.
Gao Tianhai told them that they had received a reply from the main altar. The letter said that the Yueyang branch had reported the matter to the sect leader a few days ago, and the sect leader had sent personnel. Go to Yueyang City for support.
Ling'er and Liu Bai felt completely relieved, so they happily went to Phoenix Mountain as planned.
