Turning people into demons

Chapter 146 On the road [100 recommendations plus more]

Before Tianxiang could tell Liu Yibai this sentence, he was no longer in Hongxinglou, except for the neatly stacked clothes, there was no sign of him in Hongxinglou.

Tianxiang was lost and depressed all night. Surprisingly, she didn't grab other girls' guests. In her mind, there was always a man standing in front of her who was not afraid of swords. He might be useless, but to her, this man was a man. A person who can be entrusted for life, at least, for her, he is no longer useless.

But he didn't come back, is he blaming her?Blame her for still being shameless, blame her for still exchanging her body for silver, he still minds that I belong to a brothel girl, right?Maybe he didn't even look me in the eye
At dusk, a wisp of light smoke floats lightly from the chimney, leaving a trace of residual heat on the ground.The dusk was not as muggy as the noon, but there was a hint of warmth in the refreshing wind. Liu Yibai looked up at the cooking smoke floating in the distance, his empty eyes flashed with a look.

"What is life for?"

He didn't fulfill his promise to Tianxiang, he just thought she was joking, maybe she didn't even think about leaving, he saved this person from suffering, so, what about the next one?There are too many people in the sea of ​​suffering in this world, how can he save them.Besides, he himself is struggling in the sea of ​​bitterness, who will come to rescue him?
"Little brother, you are still so young, but you are lamenting the meaning of life. It's really interesting."

There was a burst of hearty laughter from behind, Liu Yibai frowned slightly, and there was a smell of night incense in the air, which made people sick.

At the entrance, a simple and honest man walked over with a load of foul-smelling Ye Xiang with a smile, sat down beside him, and kept wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Isn't life just to eat, drink, and scatter? God let you live for a reason. Why think so much?" The simple and honest man wiped his hands, took out a hard steamed bun from his arms, and was about to put it in his mouth. Lisong, but suddenly stopped in mid-air, he thought for a while, broke the steamed bun in half, handed one half to Liu Yibai, and said with a smile: "Little brother, eat something, only when you are full." Think hard."

Liu Yibai took the steamed bun subconsciously, numbly put it in his mouth, and didn't care about the scent of night in the air.

"Everyone has his own way of life. Look at me, although pouring Yexiang every day, I am still very happy. Although pouring Yexiang is not a good way of making a living, it can also make people live. As the old saying goes, it is better to die than to die." You're alive, how can you know what tomorrow will be like." The simple and honest man chatted while stuffing steamed buns.

Seeing that Liu Yibai was silent, the simple and honest man swallowed the last piece of steamed bun, and said with a smile: "Little brother, if you really want to know the meaning of living, then come and help me pick the dung."

"I'm afraid you don't dare to swear"

"I'm not even afraid of death, but I'm afraid of picking shit, I'll go with you." Liu Yibai turned his head to look at him and said with a smile.

"Okay, my friends call me Erniu. If you don't mind, you can call me Brother Erniu. From now on, we will be a family." Erniu smiled heartily, and he patted Liu Yibai's shoulder vigorously, saying: " Come on, little brother, come home with me."

Er Niu picked up the dung and walked side by side with Liu Yibai to a small path in the mountain.

"What's your name? I can't call you little brother in the future."

"Er Erniu brother, you can call me Xiaobai." Liu Yibai was silent for a while, remembering the name Tianxiang gave him.

"Okay, okay, Xiaobai, let's hurry up and hurry back to have dinner."

Liu Yibai smiled, and quickened his pace. He didn't know why Tianxiang called him Xiaobai. Was the original intention of naming him because he looked like an idiot or was he wearing white clothes that day.

"Just be an idiot."

After walking for nearly ten miles, Liu Yibai saw a small village.It is more than 20 miles away from the town, which may be nothing to him, but it takes a lot of perseverance for an ordinary person to carry a load of dung for more than 20 miles every day, regardless of the weather.

"The front is my house, brother Xiaobai, we can eat soon, don't worry."

Er Niu pulled Liu Yibai back from his contemplation, and he shook his head, indicating that he was not in a hurry.

"Mother, I'm back." Er Niu shouted at the top of his voice from a long distance away, afraid that others would not know that he was back.After putting a load of dung on her shoulders in the yard, a woman in her 40s came out of the small hut. Her hair was already gray, and her temples were wet with sweat, and she looked very tired. But the eyes are very bright.

"Er Niu, you are tired, come in and eat." The middle-aged woman's voice was soft, she glanced at Liu Yibai, and asked, "Er Niu, who is this young man?"

"Oh, mother, this is the little brother I just met, Xiaobai, who picks up dung with me, and will live in our house from now on." Er Niu scratched his head and said with a smile.Then he looked at Liu Yibai, pointed at the middle-aged woman and said, "Brother Xiaobai, this is my mother. The neighbors call her Aunt Zhang, so you should call her that in the future."

"Excuse me, Aunt Zhang." After hearing Er Niu's introduction, Liu Yibai saluted respectfully.

"This young man doesn't seem to be able to pick up manure with you. He is so delicate and gentle, and he will be exhausted." Aunt Zhang gave Er Niu a complaining look, and then stepped forward to pull him away. Liu Yibai smiled and said: "Xiaobai, just live here with the aunt, you don't need to pick up shit with my silly boy, the aunt can afford you."

"Hey, mother, what are big men doing at home? There's nothing wrong with picking dung, it's also a way of making a living, so don't worry about it."

"Don't stand still, I'm starving to death, let Brother Xiaobai go in and eat." Er Niu urged.

Aunt Zhang slapped her forehead, giggled, and said, "This man is old, and his etiquette is not perfect, Xiaobai, hurry up and come in with Auntie."

The table was a bit worn out, but the food on it was steaming, obviously it had just been cooked, there was a plate of roast chicken and a few side dishes on it, exuding an attractive aroma.

Liu Yibai couldn't help being a little puzzled, this family doesn't seem to be very rich, but it's really strange that they can eat roast chicken.

Aunt Zhang seemed to see his doubts, pointed to the attractive roast chicken, and said with a smile: "Little Bai, eat quickly. At the aunt's house, I promise to raise you white and fat. These are brought by my little princess." When she came back, she worked as a maidservant in a wealthy family and earned a lot of money, so you can eat with your stomach open, as long as you have enough."

"That's right, brother Xiaobai, don't be polite, just treat it as your own home. My sister is capable." Er Niu also laughed.

After listening to the explanation of the two, Liu Yibai stopped being polite at night, and ended the meal in a pleasant conversation.
