blood contract

... ...

"Junior sister is really talented. Her weapons are unique, and she has a unique way of playing with children. Senior brother, I admire you!" Ye Tianyi cupped his hands with admiration on his face.

"Such a wild and rebellious child should be tortured by society thousands of times before he realizes the suffering in the world." Lingling said while eating snacks.

"What is social abuse?" Dongfang Rouyin blinked his bright eyes with a look of doubt on his face. She has successfully broken through the realm and left seclusion.

Lingling: "..."

Seeing eight pairs of eyes looking at her for explanation, she rubbed her chin and said with a wicked smile, "It is to make him truly feel the cruelty and warmth in the world."

Sikong Xihua and Ye Tiancheng were expressionless, but Ye Tianyi and Dongfang Rouyin were very interested.

"Ling, that kid won't cheat to get money from his family, right? How do you monitor him?" Dongfang Rouyin asked curiously.

Sikong Xihua said: "Qianmu Ting!"

Thousand Eyes, a dragonfly-like insect, can project the scene it sees onto special objects and then release them.

Lingling nodded, "That's right! I changed the boy's appearance and restricted him from saying some words, such as making a bet, who he is, etc."

Dongfang Rouyin gave a thumbs up, "Awesome."

Sikong Xihua asked quietly: "I'm curious, how could Elder Ma Chen be willing to lend you the Thousand-Eyed Dragonfly?"

"Of course you have to pay a price."

Sikong Xihua frowned, "Junior sister, how dare you bribe the elders? According to the sect rules, it is number 150..."

Lingling picked up the lotus cake and stuffed it into Sikong Xihua's mouth, "Senior Brother, don't talk nonsense, we just have our own needs and have gone through the normal sect process."

No one has ever dared to do something as rude as being stuffed with food. Sikong Xihua was stunned for a moment.

"That's right. How can this be considered a bribe? Fellow Taoist Sikong is drinking tea." Dongfang Rouyin took the lotus cake out of his mouth again and put it in his hand. A cup of tea was put to his mouth and facing him. His eyes blinked for a while.

"..." Sikong Xihua was speechless.

These two people are the same as each other, so rude!

Ye Tianyi looked at him with a smile and an envious expression, as if he was saying that Brother Xihua is so lucky.

Sikong Xihua conveyed back with a look: Thank you, I will give you this blessing.

"Three days have passed now, has that naughty boy earned ten spirit coins?" Dongfang Rouyin turned to look at Lingling and asked.

Lingling burst out laughing, "Rouyin, are you kidding me! For ten spirit coins, since he doesn't touch Yang Chun Shui and has no skills, just making three cents in ten days is considered great." After a pause, he said: "Oh ! You should be able to earn three cents by begging for food."

"Begging for food!" Dongfang Rouyin understood immediately and laughed, "Ling, you are so bad! With his temper, if you don't say he can earn a hundred spirit coins in three months, he won't be able to earn it in ten years! "

Lingling picked up a piece of lotus pastry, took a bite, and said, "It depends on whether he has a smart mind. I'll give him one or two silver coins as a starting point. If he budgets carefully and has a bright mind, he should be able to make money in three days. Fifty cents, ten days... you can save five taels of silver..."

Dongfang Rouyin did a mental calculation and said, "But if we continue to calculate like this, he won't be able to earn a hundred spirit coins in three months."

"Oh, it's not like this superposition calculation. You have to understand what is making money? What is hard money?" Looking at Rouyin's confused expression,

Lingling continued: "Although hard money and making money are both doing the dirtiest and most tiring work every day to get a piece of money, the essential difference between them is that one earns it with wisdom and the other earns it with labor. The former uses money to make money, and the latter uses money to make a living."

"Oh! I understand. The former has a lot of money, while the latter is afraid of scooping up the stagnant water." Dongfang Rouyin clapped her chin and said with a look of admiration: "Ling, you are so powerful, you know so many things."

"What's so great about this? I just have to experience it myself and express my feelings." After saying this, Lingling put the last bit of lotus cake in his mouth into his mouth, and picked up another pastry to eat.

Dongfang Rouyin didn't know that Lingling was born in poverty, so she asked out of curiosity: "Personal experience? Were you poor when you were a child?"

Lingling nodded and said disapprovingly: "Before I was four years old, I was quite poor! After I was four years old, I earned two hundred spirit coins for my boss in a month, and then I lived a good life with food every day."

The four of them were silent. As they were all children of aristocratic families, they could not imagine what a four-year-old child had to go through to survive in such an environment.

Xu Zhou talked about what happened when Lingling was young, when she was six years old. Lingling talked about it for the first time today. She looked indifferent, as if she was talking about someone else's business.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Lingling said: "Why do you all look like this... sympathize with me?" She shook her head and smiled, "I don't think I'm pitiful. On the contrary, I want to thank you for this hard life, which is my life." What a treasure!" After saying that, he picked up other snacks on the table and ate them.

"These are all for you to eat." Dongfang Rouyin's voice was soft, pushing all the snacks on the table to Lingling, and added carelessly, "No wonder you are so good at eating. I was afraid of being hungry when I was a child. ah."

"..." Ling Ling looked at her and defended herself, "It's not that I've always been eating, it's just that I've been able to eat better recently."

"Haha... Yes. You have indeed eaten a lot recently..." Dongfang Rouyin laughed.

But when she thought of the word 'recently', she suddenly thought that all the concubines in the harem seemed to be particularly good at eating after they got pregnant!

Thinking of this, she stood up with a slap on the table, pointed angrily at Lingling and said: "You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, we didn't really sleep in the same room with that kid, did you?"

Ah!

Four people, including Lingling, exclaimed.

Sikong Xihua and the Ye brothers couldn't help but look at Lingling's slightly protruding belly.

This melon is a bit big! Who is that kid? There is a story!

Lingling looked at Dongfang Rouyin with an idiot look, "What nonsense are you talking about? Just having a farewell drink together can make a child out of it. You are really capable of telling nonsense!"

"Then, your belly..." Dongfang Rouyin pointed at her belly and asked.

Lingling patted her elastic belly and said disdainfully, "It's just getting fat."

Gain weight? Is it really just gaining weight? Several expressed doubts.

Then there was a scene in which a boy of about seven years old was being punched and kicked by about a dozen children aged about seven to twelve or three years old.

"Hit, hit me to death!"

"Look how dare this kid is so arrogant!"

"Hit, beat..."

The boy resisted at first, but the more he resisted, the more ruthless these gangsters were. Finally, the boy gave up and let them beat and scold him. He just curled up on the ground and protected his head with his hands.

"Bah! Look at how cowardly he is. It's boring. Let's go!" said a boy who was only thirteen years old.

"Brother Qiang said, let's go!" a child echoed.

The boy named Brother Qiang pointed at the boy on the ground and said arrogantly: "Next time I see you begging on my property, I will break your legs."

Before he left, he didn't forget to spit on him, and the children around him followed suit.

cough cough...

The boy coughed, covered his lower back and sat up with difficulty, leaning casually against the wall. His eyes were full of resentment, and he weakly cursed: "One day, I will kill you all and feed them to the dogs."

The boy is none other than a naughty kid - Leng Chan.

Ever since he was little, he has been surrounded by stars, calling for wind and rain, and a single look can scare the whole family to death.

Over time, he believed that he had the ability to kill people with his eyes!

After changing his clothes and changing his appearance, he found it quite novel and interesting. He wandered in the street until he got hungry and then walked into a restaurant. He looked at the shopkeeper with a fierce look and asked someone to prepare a meal for him.

As you can imagine, he was thrown out of the restaurant by the waiter by his ears. This is true for every wine shop and shop.

Why the deterrent effect of killing people with his eyes failed? The bottom line is that he thought it was Lingling who took away his 'supernatural power'.

Eighteen generations after greeting the ancestors of Lingling, he became even more hungry. He clearly 'robbed' food from a rich boy's hand, but was severely beaten by the rich boy's servant, and the only one tael of silver he had on him was also taken away. gone.

Every time he wanted to tell who he was, he was speechless, causing everyone to ridicule and laugh at him.

After one day, he no longer found it novel and fun, so he ran to Leng Mansion for help. As a result, he was kicked out by Jiawei.

Cold, hungry, angry and resentful, he finally started to 'rob' food from a small shop on the third day.

Five days later, he did not want to be a beggar, but he became a beggar. It is not uncommon for people to be driven away and beaten because they do not understand the rules and beg on other people's piers without paying homage to the pier.

One month later, after learning some rules of the world, he finally saved five taels of silver. Before he could be happy, because he was alone and weak, he was targeted by a dozen gangsters. After being beaten, they took away all the money he had on him.

"Hungry, you must be hungry! Here you go." A pair of thin hands held a thick steamed bun and handed it to Leng Chan.

When he saw the steamed buns, Leng Chan grabbed them without hesitation and stuffed them into his mouth.

Because he ate too hard, he was in pain all over his body, and his eyes and nose were almost squeezed together.

"Water, water..."

"Here," a water bag was handed over, "eat slowly, no one will compete with you." A sweet and sweet voice passed through my ears.

Leng Chan drank a few sips of water, wiped his mouth, and finally raised his eyelids to look at the person.

A sweet-looking girl about six years old, with big eyes, a small nose, a pale little face with no color, and her clothes are shabby but clean.

Isn't this the little girl who often hangs out with that hunchbacked man?

"Are there any more?" Leng Chan asked.

Seeing that the girl was in a daze and didn't answer, he asked impatiently and politely: "Do you still have something to eat?"

The little girl shook her head, "No more."

Why! Leng Chan was a little disappointed after hearing this. He threw his head back and asked, "What's your name?"

"Tong, Tong Fei. What about you?"

"..." Leng Chan said: "Sirius."

Unable to tell her real name, she chose one at random.

"Xiao Fei, let's go." A man's voice came from a distance.

Tong Fei turned around and responded, "Here you go, Brother Wuma." After saying that, he stood up and said to Leng Chan: "Tomorrow, the Li Mansion on East Street will be giving out porridge. You should go there early."

Looking at the retreating figures of the hunchback, the little girl, and the little yellow dog, Leng Chan felt mixed emotions in his heart. When he was at his worst, it was the person he had bullied who helped him.

In just one month, he experienced all the warmth and coldness of the world, the coldness of the world, the humiliation and hardships, and saw clearly the people who tended to follow the trend and wanted to please.

It turns out that once you take off those splendid clothes and leave that home, you are nothing, and your life is really worse than that of a dog!

... ...

Time flies, and the three months are coming soon.

During the Lotus Moon in June, the sunlight shines through the dense layers of branches and leaves, and small and large light spots are printed on the windows of an old house.

Leng Chan looked at the thirty-seven taels of thirty spirit coins in his wallet and fell silent.

It will be three months in thirteen days. Can he earn the remaining money in these thirteen days?

The answer is no, you lose, you lose completely!

At that time, I had sworn and confidently boasted that Haikou would ensure that the red-haired boy would die without a burial place. But now, I only have thirteen days to live.

A feeling of annoyance and unwillingness filled my heart. I can only blame myself for being ignorant at the time and falling into the enemy's trap.

"That person must have known this before, so he would play this bet with me. Damn it..." Leng Chan thought to himself, clasping his hands and saying to himself: "If, if you give me another three years, no, one and a half years, I will definitely win this bet... Yes, I want to change the time."

Thinking of this, Leng Chan put away his money bag and rushed out the door.

"Brother Tianlang, where are you going? Dinner is about to begin." A little girl behind him called.

The little yellow dog kept barking.

The hunchbacked man walked out of the kitchen with a spatula in hand, "...This child has been acting very strange these days. I wonder what happened to him?"

In the mountains, the grass is lush.

Leng Chan ran to the mountain where Lingling was hung upside down above the waterfall.

He shouted loudly: "Hongmao, come out. I know you are here, so come out quickly."

……

Except for the sound of the gurgling waterfall and the gentle breeze, there was no one else around.

"Bastard, bastard..." Leng Chan beat the trunk of the tree where Lingling had been sitting with frustration, helplessness and unwillingness, as if he was hitting Lingling himself.

"Ahem...what do you want from me?" A cough followed by a hoarse voice came from above.

Leng Chan looked up and saw a thin, red-haired boy falling down, looking sickly.

He was shocked and surprised! Is he sick and about to die? very nice!

A seven-year-old child's expression control is not very good and he cannot hide it. Lingling read it right away.

She curled her lips and said, "I'm sorry, it didn't go as you wished. I was hungry. If you have anything to say, tell me quickly. I have to rush back for dinner!" She turned over her hand and took out a roasted goose and ate it. got up.

"..." Leng Chan smelled the aroma of roast goose and his mouth almost watered.

I haven’t eaten meat for almost three months! But he feasted in front of me, which was really deceiving!

Leng Chan held back his saliva and said with a fierce look on his face: "Ben, I want to change the time?"

Repaying less than the original amount has not changed.

The corners of Lingling's lips curled up slightly, and she said faintly, "No."

"why?"

"Because this is a contract that has been made a long time ago. If we change it, we will change it. So why did we have to establish evidence as evidence in the first place."

"..." Leng Chan said: "You knew I would be like this from the beginning, and you still lured me into this gambling game. It's unfair to me."

"Unfair?" Lingling smiled faintly, "Soldiers are not afraid of deceit. I am arrogant and arrogant, and I am trapped in a cocoon. Is it the fault of others?"
