Chapter 223 We Just Arrived in the Holy City
Jiang Yao thought for a moment, pulled him aside, squatted down, and said solemnly: "Mother has a plan to tell you."
"Mother, you say."
"I want to stay in the Holy City for a while, earn some money and spiritual power, and then we can go to Pengxue Island."
Shang Lu's eyes flickered: "Mother, why do we want to go to Pengxue Island?"
"because."
Jiang Yao didn't know how to tell him that Shang Lu had always been disgusted by the mention of looking for a father, and she didn't know if he could accept it.
"Are you going to look for Daddy?" Shang Lu's eyes were full of sincerity: "Daddy is on Pengxue Island, right?"
Jiang Yao felt warm in his heart: "Yes, mother thinks your father should be on Pengxue Island, and wants to go see him."
Shang Lu was distressed for a while, then he was relieved: "Okay, I will accompany mother to find father."
After a pause, she nervously pulled Jiang Yao and said, "Mother, now that you have a father, will you still want me?"
Jiang Yao was stunned: "Little Baibao doesn't want to find his father. Is he afraid that his mother won't want him anymore?"
Shang Lu nodded honestly, hugged her neck, and said in a baby voice: "Because Daddy is also a man, I am also a man, and Mommy can only have one man, so I am afraid that Mommy will not want the baby after she has Daddy."
Jiang Yao laughed: "You are not a man, you are a little boy. Also, where did you hear this?"
"That's what Aunt Wang said."
Jiang Yao: “.” It’s that Aunt Wang again.
She sighed: "Little Baibao, you are my son, and you will always be. And my mother wants to find my father, not just to be with him."
Because of the evil energy in Shang Lu's body, she really had no other choice. It was not a problem to suppress it like this every month. There was also evil energy in Su Qianji's body. She wanted to find Su Qianji. The bigger reason was because of Shang Lu, and part of the reason was that she wanted to see him and ask him why he didn't come to find her in the first place.
"Baby knows. Baby always listens to mommy. Mommy said she wants to find daddy, so let's go find daddy."
"Okay, then we've settled it." After a pause, she added, "But you can't tell anyone else that Daddy is from Pengxue Island, okay?"
"I know." Shang Lu nodded mysteriously: "I heard that Pengxue Island has many treasures and will be targeted by people. Don't worry, mother, I'm not stupid and I won't say anything nonsense."
"My little Baibao is the best."
Jiang Yao stood up and took his hand. Yue Jian beside him glared at him: "You guys are discussing things without me? You don't even ask for my opinion?"
"Your opinion doesn't matter."
"Jiang Yao, you are being disrespectful."
Jiang Yao and Shang Lu looked at him at the same time: "Are you human?"
Yuejian: “.”
"Okay, let's find a place to live first, and then think about making money."
Jiang Yao pulled Shang Lu, and just as he turned around, he saw a ragged kid in front of him. He was a head taller than Shang Lu, and his body and face were very dirty.
"Madam, could you give me something to eat? I haven't eaten for five days."
The little boy's voice was weak, and his outstretched hand was black and trembling.
Ever since Jiang Yao had a child, she couldn't stand seeing beggars like this. Before she even started eating the sweet grass cake in her hand, she placed it directly in the little boy's palm.
"Take this and eat it."
The little boy took it and put it into his mouth and swallowed it in two or three gulps.
Jiang Yao pulled Shang Lu and turned to leave, but Shang Lu kept looking back.
"Mother, he's so pitiful."
In fact, Jiang Yao was quite puzzled. This was a holy city, and everyone he met along the way was kind and happy. How could there be a beggar here, and a child at that?
The little boy trembled as he followed Jiang Yao. "Madam, you gave me a piece of cake, and you are my savior. From now on, I am yours."
After saying that, he kowtowed heavily.
The expression on Jiang Yao's face is hard to describe.
Just give her a cake and she'll be hers?
Shang Lu shook Jiang Yao's hand and said softly, "Mother, why don't we take him with us?"
Jiang Yao was a little embarrassed: "Xiao Baibao, we have a hard time ourselves. We have to make money and earn spiritual power. How can we have extra money to support extra people?"
Shang Lu thought about it and looked at the little boy reluctantly: "Okay then."
"Madam, please take me with you. I don't eat much, and I can still work. I'm very capable."
Jiang Yao shook his head and was about to refuse when he saw the little boy raised his head. His eyes were purple.
Purple eyes.
She had only seen it on Bai Chu.
The eyes of the little boy in front of her overlapped with the eyes of Bai Chu in her memory and were surprisingly similar.
"What's your name?" Jiang Yao asked without hesitation.
Bai Chu thought about Su Qianji's instructions, his eyes turned, and he remembered that Jiang Yao had just called Shang Lu "little white treasure".
"My name is Xiaobai."
Shang Lu smiled: "Mother, his name is Xiaobai, and mine is Xiaobaibao. We are really destined to be together."
Jiang Yao curled the corners of his mouth, mainly because the dirty child in front of him could not be associated with the word Xiaobai at all.
Never mind, she just arrived here and isn't familiar with the place, so it's okay to have someone follow her.
"Xiaobai, right? Then you'll follow us from now on." After a pause, she continued, "My name is Jiang Yao, this is my son, Shanglu, nicknamed Xiaobaibao, and this is Yuejian."
After a brief introduction, Bai Chu sweetly called out, "Jiang Yao is good, Shang Lu is good, Yue Jian is good."
Jiang Yao was a little surprised. He just called her Madam, but now he was calling her by her name?
"Are you from out of town?" Bai Chu took the initiative to start a conversation.
Jiang Yao was still a little skeptical about him, but when he saw those eyes, he felt that they were pure and innocent, not like a bad boy. In addition, his eyes looked familiar, so he didn't worry too much.
"Yeah, we just arrived in the Holy City."
"So, do you have a place to stay?"
“Not yet.”
Bai Chu's eyes lit up: "I know a place where you can stay."
Shang Lu tilted his head and asked, "Brother Xiaobai, is this where you live?"
"No, it's just a deserted yard, quite big."
Shang Lu was curious: "Will the owner of that place agree?"
Bai Chu leaned over to whisper in his ear mysteriously, but he dodged her.
"Brother Xiaobai, you'd better stay away from me."
Shang Lu looked embarrassed and tried not to look at him. He really couldn't stand his tattered and dirty clothes.
Bai Chu didn't take it to heart. He laughed and took a half step back before saying, "I heard that the yard is haunted. The owner didn't want it anymore and abandoned it. I've heard about it, but I don't dare to live there alone."
"Haunted?" Shang Lu's eyes lit up: "Are there still ghosts in this world?"
"I don't know about that." Bai Chu continued mysteriously, "But I heard that at night, there's a burst of white light in this yard, and you can hear someone crying. I heard it's a woman, crying very miserably."
Shang Lu's interest was immediately piqued: "Really? Have you seen it?"
Bai Chu shook his head: "I'm timid and don't dare to go and see."
