Chapter 132 Little Mud...
Little Mud spoke so casually, as if their conversation had just been about Pingyu distributing candy, and she had raised her hand to ask for some. Both Nezha and Pingyu were taken aback, not expecting the girl to have such an idea.
Pingyu frowned and asked, "Do you know what you're saying? After sacrificing human souls, your existence will merge with Peipei's, and you will disappear from the world."
"Besides," she paused, "if you want her to be whole, even with you, you're still missing one."
After a moment's thought, Nezha suddenly spoke: "One body, two souls."
Pingyu looked at him.
The boy stared at the girl, and Little Mudball smiled happily, revealing her sharp teeth: "This fairy brother is right. I am both a posthumous child and a half-human, half-demon. My soul can be split into two and used by two people!"
An unborn child needs the essence and blood of its mother to take shape and be born, relying on the soul of the mother who gave birth to it. Therefore, its soul is stable. In addition, she is a half-demon, with a demon soul within her. If she is truly willing to sacrifice herself, perhaps this can really happen. Perhaps not expecting this child to have such courage, Nezha looked at Little Mud. She and Peipei depended on each other for survival, and this act of willingly sacrificing her life for friendship made Nezha think more highly of her.
Pingyu, fearing she was too young to understand life and death, asked again, "Are you sure?"
"OK." Little Muddy nodded.
“When Peipei wakes up, she won’t be able to see you. She’ll be sad without you by her side.”
Little Mudball stared at the haystack, falling silent. She didn't want to die either, but this world was too hard. Wang Tian was unreliable after joining the army, and Peipei, blind and mute, was subject to humiliation. Little Mudball had considered taking Peipei to live in the mountains, but as a half-demon, she wouldn't be welcome in the forest. She had grown up eating human flesh and didn't know how to care for people. The mountains were teeming with birds of prey and poisonous insects, and Little Mudball feared Peipei would die while she went hunting.
Pingyu thought she had changed her mind and was about to say something more. But then, Xiaoniba suddenly spoke up: "They say the dead are the greatest, right?"
Caught off guard by the question, Ping Yu nodded: "Yes..."
Little Mudball asked again, "Then do you have money?"
"Yes...right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Pingyu noticed that Xiaoniba's eyes began to light up.
What's going on?
She leaned back tactically, feeling like the child saw her as a fat sheep to be slaughtered. Nezha had warned her before not to be wasteful, but now that Pingyu was talking about it, she had forgotten. She could only sigh helplessly.
Lin Dong also likes this.
As expected of the Lin family...
Little Muddy stepped forward and held out his hand to Pingyu: "Then give me some, I want to take Peipei out to play!"
.
Um?
Ping Yu looked at Xiao Niba's mud-covered hands, full of questions: "Looking for me to get gold coins?"
.
It's not easy for a mute woman to survive with a child.
Xiao Niba has made up her mind about sacrificing herself to Peipei. As for Pingyu's concern that Peipei would be sad if she woke up and couldn't see her, Xiao Niba has also come up with an idea.
Little Mud, pulling on Pingyu's clothes, led her into the haystack.
Although Peipei had a disability in her eyes and mouth, her hearing was very sharp. Little Muddy climbed onto the bed and helped her up, saying, "Mother Peipei, a lovely young lady says she's new here and doesn't know where to go for fun, so she wants me to show her the way. She likes lively places, so she asked me to bring everyone from her family to accompany her. Is she a kind person? Shall we go together?"
Peipei opened her mouth and made "ah ah" sounds. Where in the world are there so many kind people? This town has no beautiful scenery, why would a rich young lady come here specifically for sightseeing? She might get kidnapped by a child trafficker! She shook her head, not only refusing but also grabbing the girl to stop her from going. But Little Mud ignored her wishes, cupping Peipei's head in both hands and forcing her to nod: "Then let's go!"
Peipei screamed "Ah ah!" as the girl dragged her off the bed.
The mute girl was thin and frail; when she fell off the bed, she shattered like a chopstick. Pingyu, fearing she might break, quickly reached out to steady her. As she drew closer, she noticed a faint fragrance emanating from Peipei. The scent was very subtle and refreshing, somewhat like the scent of crushed flower petals. Unlike Xiaoniba, who was covered in mud, Peipei's clothes, though tattered, were clean; she was free of grime and lice. Xiaoniba had taken good care of her.
Peipei touched the girl's delicate hand, and her scalp tingled instantly. She trembled, pulling her hand away to look for Xiao Niba. Pingyu immediately whispered, "Miss Peipei, I am the young lady Xiao Niba mentioned. My husband and I..." In this era, there was no such thing as "boyfriend and girlfriend," and calling them "lovers" was inappropriate. After much hesitation, Pingyu chose this term. She glanced to the side, her gaze meeting that of the astonished Nezha. The boy's gaze was intense, and after the initial shock subsided, the ecstatic joy on his face was undisguised. He had many things to say, but with others present, he had to swallow them all. The long silence made Peipei tilt her head, as if asking, "Where is she?"
Pingyu suppressed her shame and continued, "My husband and I were newly married and traveling all over the world. No matter which town we went to, we had to find someone to guide us. I saw that this child was clever, so I asked her to give us some money to show us the local customs."
With "husband" and "newlyweds" mentioned repeatedly, Nezha laughed heartily. His radiant laughter changed Xiaoniba's impression of him from fierce and terrifying to sinister and perverse.
Nezha's gaze made her feel uneasy, and she shivered slightly, then found it somewhat amusing. They had been inseparable, traveling day and night, so how could a simple form of address make this person so happy? Whether it was a farmer, a beggar, or a brothel madam, their hands were rough and covered in scars. The hands Peipei had just touched were as smooth as cream, the kind only a pampered young lady could possess. Touch and the body don't lie; Peipei lowered her guard slightly and nodded in agreement.
Pingyu then took the two back to the inn.
First, they went to a clothing store and bought clothes for Peipei and Xiaoniba. Then they ordered the waiter to bring in bucket after bucket of water. Fox demon children are all beautiful, and Xiaoniba, to protect herself, rolled herself in the mud. Layers of mud were washed away by the water, revealing a completely new girl inside.
Just like someone who usually eats coarse grains and cold fruit, but gets to eat meat during the Lunar New Year. No matter how miserable life gets afterward, the thought of being able to eat meat again at the end of the year gives them the strength to grit their teeth and keep going.
They had always been poor and bullied, forced to steal to survive. Little Mud asked Pingyu for funds to help her cook the meat that would make Peipei happy.
If they spent intimate time together before she died, then Pepe wouldn't be too sad when she remembered her!
The child's thoughts were straightforward yet cruel, and Pingyu didn't know what to say. She and Peipei helped Xiaoniba wipe her cheeks. After the girl's messy hair was washed, a pair of tiny fox ears were visible inside.
Little Muddy's fox ears twitched, and it asked, "What should we do about this?"
