Chapter 52 Immortals
It was hard to survive this cold night.

The morning sun slanted and sent a few rays of cold morning light.

Bai Luo grabbed the little bit of warmth under the blanket, greedily enjoying it.The whole person was in a daze, unwilling to open his eyes, unwilling to move.

The mother-in-law was terrified and thought she was frozen to death.He patted her cheek and called Miss several times.Only then did Bai Luo open his eyes in a daze, poked his nose out from the rags, and smelled the biting cold wind.

The mother-in-law breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Miss, we should go. After a while, the rich family at the alley should dump out the leftovers. There is meat in the leftovers. If you go there late, you won't be able to grab them." arrive."

Bai Luo nodded, and stretched himself out bit by bit from the rags.The cold wind cuts on the body like a knife. After being frozen for a long time, the body becomes numb, and the feeling of all pain is weakened.

Bai Luo raised his eyes to look at the dead bodies of the mother and son yesterday.A thick layer of white snow had accumulated on their corpses, pure and flawless, only a couple of figures curled up could be vaguely seen.

Bai Luo closed her eyes, helped her mother-in-law fold the rag, and tied it to her back with a dirty hemp rope.

The old and the young joined hands and set foot on the white snow.The cold wind blows up the snow, which flutters like powder and sand between the sky and the earth.

..................................................................

Walk to the side door of the house where the leftovers are dumped.

It really was a big family.Even the side door is extremely delicate.The colorful paintings on the eaves are extraordinarily gorgeous against the white snow.

There were already a lot of beggars crowded outside the door.A few ten-year-old children squeezed in the front by relying on their lightness and flexibility.

Bai Luo also dragged her mother-in-law forward.Kicking left and hitting right, bumping left and stepping right, finally grabbed a relatively favorable position.

The red lacquered door in front was opened with a creak.Two servants in black and red ribbons came out carrying a large wooden bucket with difficulty, and dumped it on the ground.

A common rancid smell of swill mixed with the residual aroma of rice meat poured down the cold wind.The beggars swarmed up and scrambled for food.

Bai Luo desperately scratched at the swill with a pair of dirty paws.He stuffed everything into his mouth and swallowed desperately.The remaining part was stuffed into the dirty pocket, and I went out to bring it to my mother-in-law after a while.

A little girl who looked only seven or eight years old squeezed to the front due to her small size, but was squeezed by a middle-aged man again and fell headlong.

The middle-aged man was only interested in grabbing food, without paying any attention to her, and he was about to step on the girl's head with his foot.

Bai Luo hurried over and covered the girl's head with his back.

A man's feet carry half his body weight.At this moment, stepping on Bai Luo's body hard, Bai Luo felt his breathing stagnate, and a few gold stars appeared before his eyes.

The girl raised her head and smiled at Bai Luo.The girl had a sallow and thin complexion, her cheeks were sunken severely towards the middle of her face, and she was almost so thin that she lost her appearance.

The girl said: "Thank you, little sister. Here, this is for you."

She handed over a piece of meat the size of a copper coin.

Bai Luo took it without any politeness and handed it to his mother-in-law behind him.

The mother-in-law is also very hungry.When I saw this piece of meat, I quickly stuffed it into my mouth before I had time to take a second look...

The mother-in-law screamed, and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

Bai Luo quickly turned around.

I saw my mother-in-law spit out the so-called meat from her mouth.It turned out that there was no meat in that thing, it was just two pieces of bark stewed for spices, with a piece of broken porcelain sandwiched between them.

Bai Luo opened her mother-in-law's mouth and took a look.There were several deep cuts in it.

The little girl who gave Bai Luo meat just now poked her head out from not far away, rolled her eyes and made a grimace.

Bai Luo was furious, grabbed the broken porcelain and threw it at the girl.The girl quickly dodges - did not dodge.

The sharp broken porcelain cut a deep gash on her cheek, and blood flowed profusely immediately.

The girl screamed like a cat, shrill and piercing.The scream was like a thin straw, quickly drowned in the noise of the other beggars.

..................................................................

Bai Luo helped her mother-in-law to sit down on a large stone pier that had been swept clean of snow.

Bai Luo unpacked her mother-in-law's bag and saw that there was still a little bottle of golden sore medicine inside, so she took it out and wanted to pour it into her mother-in-law's mouth.

The mother-in-law stopped her.

"Miss... don't bother. My little injury won't bother me, old lady. Don't waste these golden medicines."

Bai Luo said: "Mother-in-law, don't say that. The sanitary conditions here are very poor, and the wounds are easily infected. Infection can be very fatal."

She opened her mother-in-law's mouth and sprinkled the medicine on the deep wound.It's a pity that there is too little medicine, and the wound cannot be healed at all.

Bai Luo said: "Grandma, we still have a pure gold longevity lock. Just sit here and wait, I'll go and buy you some medicine."

The mother-in-law said vaguely: "Miss, you don't need to look for it. Have you forgotten? The Tushan government ordered all the shops in the city to post notices outside the doors - no one from Qingqiu, livestock, chickens or dogs are allowed to enter. No Someone will sell us something. I'm really all right, miss."

Qingqiu people?
Tushan government?

Bai Luo slowly turned these things around in his mind, seeming to vaguely piece together a bit of the background of this world.

She wanted to ask her mother-in-law for more information, but she was worried that her mother-in-law would open the wound if she talked too much, so she had to give up.

..................................................................

Two days later, my mother-in-law's wound was still festering and inflamed in this environment where there was little medical treatment.

The seemingly small openings quickly became red, swollen and festered, turning into white pus and exuding a faint stench.

The mother-in-law started to have a fever.The fever got worse day by day, and my sanity began to blur.

Bai Luo was terrified.Such two small cuts can really kill people.

The mother-in-law's body became weaker and weaker day by day, Bai Luo had no medicine and had no choice but to watch and worry.

..................................................................

One evening, two bright lights suddenly flashed across the sky.All the lights in the whole city were brightened up at that moment, and then countless white lights descended from the sky, streaking across the gorgeous sunset. They were countless pigeons with pure white feathers.

Around the necks of the pigeons are golden bronze bells.The bell jingled, sending out a quick message similar to a human voice.

"Priest Ziyuan is here! Priest Ziyuan is here!"

The mother-in-law raised her weak eyelids to look at the bells, and an unconcealable fear flashed in her eyes.

"Miss...Miss, quickly, hide quickly..."

Bai Luoqi said: "Why? Is that person our enemy?"

The mother-in-law said vaguely: "That man belongs to Tu Shan...Tu Shan's... Hurry up and hide..."

The mother-in-law is delirious at this time, and she always makes a fuss.She saw a wild dog two days ago, and she didn't mean that the wild dog was "the mount of Tushan lady".Bai Luo picked up a hard-frozen lump of ice and smashed the wild dog to death, then peeled off the dog's skin and put it on her mother-in-law's broken sheet.I went to pick up a few twigs, roasted a delicious dog leg, chewed it up and fed it to my mother-in-law.The mother-in-law ate very well, so she stopped talking about what kind of horse the dead dog was riding.

Bai Luo said: "Mother-in-law, don't worry. That's just some bad priest who knows how to do yin and yang magic to scare the people. It should have nothing to do with us."
