evil spirit.
Ning Jie only took a glance and saw a strong demonic aura from the young man in gorgeous clothes, but he concealed it very well, making it difficult for ordinary people to detect. Even Mu Qingxue did not notice it at this moment and looked normal.
But even if he concealed it well, he could not stop Ning Jie's eyes from seeing through delusion.
With the help of the Eye of Truth, Ning Jie could easily see through the surface and see the essence, and see the almost material demonic energy surrounding him.
What was even more incredible was that Ning Jie not only found demonic energy on the young man, but also a faint aura of death mixed in with the demonic energy!
The aura of death is only possessed by dead people, but the young man who was dressed gorgeously and talked and laughed cheerfully was obviously a living person. So why did he have such a strong and important aura of death?
This sudden discovery made Ning Jie confused for a moment, but it was certain that there was definitely something seriously wrong with the young man!
"Looks like things are getting interesting."
Ning Jie stroked his chin, thinking to himself, then pointed at the man in fancy clothes and asked the old woman waiting in line beside him:
"Who is that young man?"
When Ning Jie mentioned the young man, the old woman's eyes flashed with admiration, and she introduced him to Ning Jie vividly:
"You don't know this. The man you're referring to is Gao Junran, the head of the Gao family, the most famous family in Taoyuan Town. He's been incredibly intelligent since he was young, learning to read and composing poetry at the age of five. Most importantly, he's a kind and honest person. During the past three years of drought, many people were able to survive thanks to the care of the Gao family head."
Ning Jiedian asked in return:
“Is there really such a perfect person in this world?”
"Of course not, old woman, I never exaggerate in the slightest. Patriarch Gao's character is well known to everyone in Taoyuan Town."
Ning Jie nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He became more and more curious about Gao Junran, the head of the Gao family.
You know, if it is really as the old woman in the inn said, then Gao Junran is undoubtedly a talented person. But how could such a talented person end up associating with demons and corpses, and be covered with demonic and deathly aura?
"Interesting, interesting."
Ning Jie touched his chin, thinking in his heart, then followed the old woman calmly and walked slowly forward. He wanted to see what kind of tricks Gao Junran was hiding!
The team moved slowly, and anyone who held furniture could get two potatoes and half a handful of corn distributed by the Gao family.
Everyone who received the food was grateful to the Gao family. Of course, the person they thanked the most was Gao Junran, the head of the Gao family.
However, even in the face of so much praise, Gao Junran still maintained a humble attitude. Even when someone knelt down to Gao Junran, Gao Junran bent down and personally helped the kneeling person up.
After waiting in line for about a quarter of an hour, Ning Jie finally arrived in front of the table where food was distributed.
After receiving the food, the old woman praised Gao Junran sincerely.
It was Ning Jie's turn. The servant in charge of distributing food saw how Ning Jie and Mu Qingxue were dressed and asked casually:
"A stranger?"
Ning Jie smiled calmly and responded:
"Why? Don't outsiders get it?"
The servant quickly picked up the food being distributed and handed it to Ning Jie, explaining:
"No, no, no, I'm just asking casually. My master is kindhearted and treats everyone equally. Whether you're a foreigner or a local, as long as you come to Taoyuan Town, you can receive food from our Gao family."
"Thank you very much."
Ning Jie simply thanked him and said nothing more.
But the Gao family servant's behavior was somewhat unexpected. He didn't act like a bully, as Ning Jie had expected. Instead, he was extremely humble. For a moment, Ning Jie couldn't find a reason to approach Gao Junran.
Suddenly, an idea struck him. He suddenly grabbed Mu Qingxue's hand and said in a somewhat embarrassed manner:
"Young man, my wife and I are passing through here. We are running low on money and food, and the journey is long. Could you please give us some more?"
Mu Qingxue was originally wondering why Ning Jie followed everyone to collect food, but suddenly Ning Jie grabbed her delicate hand, which made her body tremble.
You have to know that this was the first time they held hands in this life. Even in the previous life, Ning Jie had not held her hand many times.
Therefore, the sudden tension and excitement spread in Mu Qingxue's heart. Feeling the warmth in Ning Jie's palm, Mu Qingxue's face couldn't help but get hot.
What was even more outrageous was that the next second she heard Ning Jie call her his wife?
This made Mu Qingxue's heart almost stop beating. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Ning Jie with an incredible look.
now.
Her mind went blank, and she had no idea what Ning Jie meant.
The Gao family servant who distributed the food was obviously just as Ning Jie expected. Facing Ning Jie's request, he showed a look of embarrassment on his face and slowly explained:
"I'm sorry, sir. It's not that I don't want to give it to you. It's just that we have rules for distributing food. Everyone can only get an equal share of food. If I make an exception for you, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to everyone!"
Seeing that Gao family's servant had fallen into the trap, Ning Jie was delighted and performed even harder.
Without thinking too much, he stretched out his hand to Mu Qingxue's belly, gently stroking her belly and complaining:
"Brother, this is what's going on. My wife is several months pregnant. If we don't have food, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep the baby. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Please be kind!"
