"Brother...Brother, would you like some tea?"
Listening to the tender and clear voice, Lu Jingzhi looked up at the seven or eight-year-old girl and smiled softly, "Brother, if you don't drink, are you afraid of living here?"
The little girl held onto her pigtails with her hands, her eyes reddened. "I'm scared. I'm scared every day."
Seeing her like this, Lu Jingzhi reached out and rubbed her little head, "Do you want to go to your brother's place? There's a good place to live and eat, and you don't have to worry about anything."
The little girl was startled, and a ray of light rose in her desperate and painful eyes, but then it dimmed again as if she thought of something.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to?"
The little girl shook her head and said, "The village chief won't let us move."
Lu Jingzhi looked puzzled, "Why not?"
"Because if we move away, the protection fees we pay to those bad guys will be borne by the village chief and others."
"They used something to leave marks on me and my mother to prevent us from escaping."
"Mark?"
"Yeah, that's it."
After saying that, the little girl turned around and lifted up her linen clothes, revealing her bony back with the word "prisoner" printed on it.
Lu Jingzhi clenched his fists, anger rising in his heart.
"Don't worry, I'll help you later."
"Really?!" the little girl was very excited.
"certainly."
As the two chatted, the little girl became more and more comfortable, and asked most about Lu Jingzhi's life.
After listening to Lu Jingzhi's story, the little girl exclaimed, "It would be great if I could really live there!"
Lu Jingzhi looked at her expectant eyes, and his heart warmed. "Okay, but what's your name?"
"My name is Gu Keke, and my mother's name is Gu Juan."
"Keke, I'll discuss this with your mother in a moment."
"Okay! Thank you, brother."
At night, a half-burnt candle that was reluctant to be used was lit in the living room, and a pot of porridge was placed on the other side. The iron pot used to cook the porridge was also full of dents.
"Young man, I hope you won't despise me."
Lu Jingzhi took a look and saw that it was such a big pot of porridge, but apart from the vegetables floating on top, there was only a little rice in the pot. If someone didn't know, they would have thought it was the water used to wash the pot.
Gu Juan scooped most of the rice and vegetables into Lu Jingzhi's bowl, "Here, young man."
Lu Jingzhi took the porridge and placed it in front of Gu Keke, "Eat it, sister."
"This... young man..."
Lu Jingzhi waved his hand and said, "It's okay, sister, eat it."
Gu Keke looked at Gu Juan and asked for her opinion.
"Since my brother tells you to eat, then eat."
Seeing that she agreed, Gu Keke stood up and wanted to pour half of her rice porridge to Lu Jingzhi.
Lu Jingzhi quickly put the bowl aside to prevent her from pouring it out, "Eat quickly."
"Okay, thank you brother." After saying that, Gu Keke buried her head and started eating.
After drinking two bowls of rice soup, Lu Jingzhi asked Gu Juan for her opinion and thoughts on whether she wanted to come to Panping Town.
After hearing this, Gu Juan thought for a while, and under Gu Keke's expectant gaze, she agreed to live with Lu Jingzhi in Panping Town.
After dinner, Gu Juan washed the dishes with a worried look on her face, because there was only one room and a wooden bed in the house.
Normally, Gu Keke and I would have just enough sleep, but now the three of us can’t get any sleep at all.
"Jingzhi, you sleep on the bed tonight, and Keke and I can sleep on the floor." Gu Juan said after coming in after washing the dishes.
Lu Jingzhi shook his head. "I can just sit on the ground because I still need to practice."
"Practice?"
Gu Juan pondered for a moment and asked, "Can my daughter practice cultivation? Actually, I adopted her."
"Picked it up?" Lu Jingzhi looked at Gu Keke who had a calm face.
"She needs to awaken her spirit veins. I'll take her with me when you come to our place."
Gu Juan held Lu Jingzhi's hand with gratitude, "Thank you, thank you."
"Hurry...quickly kneel down and thank our benefactor."
Seeing that the mother and daughter were about to kneel down, Lu Jingzhi quickly helped them up.
"It's just a simple task, there's no need to do this."
The three of them chatted for a while, and then the aunt picked up a patched quilt and spread it out on the clean floor.
"Jingzhi, I'm so sorry for letting you sleep here."
"It's okay, go to bed now."
Lu Jingzhi sat cross-legged on the bedding, took a deep breath, absorbed the mysterious energy outside the house into his body, and completed a small circulation.
After a night, Lu Jingzhi felt full and full of strength, ready to burst out.
[I only have two mid-grade yellow-level skills, which is still far from enough.]
[I don't know if that guy has anything good. ]
Lu Jingzhi took out the storage ring of the wretched man and removed the mark on the ring.
"He used his consciousness to look for a long time, and found only a second-level double-eared bright silver halberd, more than 600 low-grade spirit stones, and several first-level demon pills."
Lu Jingzhi curled his lips, [Except for that weapon, which is still useful, the rest is actually garbage.]
[By the way, doesn't Master have a technique? I'll go ask her for it.]
Thinking of this, he called Yan An softly.
After a long while, Yan An impatiently asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"Hey, Master, can you give me this technique to practice?"
"Why do you practice so many Yellow Rank techniques? Wait until you reach the Core Formation Stage."
Lu Jingzhi looked at the sunlight shining in through the window. "Jiedan realm, Master? Do you still have the body-tempering liquid?"
"there is none left."
"How about refining another bottle?"
Suddenly, Lu Jingzhi felt a pain in his chest and quickly covered it with his right hand.
"How stupid! It won't work any more if you use it again. It's not cost-effective at all."
