Immortal, save me!

After leaving the city gate, there were beggars begging at the corner of the city wall. Seeing him looking at them, the beggars rushed up in a swarm, wanting to beg for some money and food.

Shiraishi looked at them silently, moving his fingers slightly, and finally became calm.

He came from the village and had suffered a lot, so he naturally understood how difficult it was to live in this world. Unfortunately, he could not protect himself. The only scraps of silver he had were the basis for him to settle down in the future.

Moreover, if you give it to one of the dozen beggars in front of you, why not give it to others?

He closed his eyes, apologized, and turned to leave.

The voices behind him kept ringing, like hands reaching out from the abyss, pulling him. His heart became heavier and heavier, his legs felt like lead, and every step was difficult.

He went in another direction and looked at the tall and graceful trees. The green eyes made him feel much more relaxed.

When passing a ruined temple, there was a faint sound coming from inside.

Shiraishi didn't want to take care of it, but he recognized the baby's voice. He walked a few steps, stopped and stood for a while, and finally entered the ruined temple.

The ruined temple is not big, barely able to accommodate a dozen people. A headless clay sculpture of Emperor Guandi stands there alone. The color of the oil paint on it is dim and it is difficult to distinguish clearly. There is a big hole on the top of the temple, and the sun shines in. It shrouded him, but he looked at a ball of swaddling clothes in the shadow of the corner with a cold expression.

He walked over, and a little baby looked at him with his eyes rolled.

The vertical pupils are as green as wild beasts, and there are tiny scales on both sides. What kind of baby is this! Shiraishi has never seen such a strange appearance!

"Who are you? Are you a human or a demon?"

Shiraishi muttered to himself.

He wanted to turn around and leave, but his steps stayed in place. He lowered his head and looked at the baby. One was thoughtful and hesitant, while the other was innocent and carefree.

He looked at the baby's increasingly aggrieved look, with his mouth flattened as if he was about to cry. He pursed his lips and knelt down, reaching out to tentatively touch the baby's cheek.

Smooth to the touch, like nephrite.

The baby stretched out his little hand, took Shiraishi's finger and put it in his mouth, still looking at him.

Are you hungry? Looking at him like this, it was obvious that he had been hungry for several meals.

Could it be that he appears here because his strange appearance scares people, so he was abandoned here?

He looked around and saw that there were still traces of people living here, and ashes were blown to the ground by the wind. It was obvious that no one had been here in the past few days.

He looked at the baby's unusual eyes, which were beautiful, clean, and very smart. He was very quiet and had not made any sound since he came in. He seemed to be afraid of disturbing the person who had finally waited for him to leave, so he was extremely well-behaved.

For some unknown reason, even though he was almost out of money for food, he still chose to take off his coat, wrap up the baby and hold him in his arms.

He hesitantly peeled off the swaddling clothes to check its gender, but as soon as he peeled it off, he was held down by the baby's little hands.

He laughed: "You know how to be shy at such a young age?"

He carried him out and whispered: "You are so shy, I'm afraid it's a girl. Let me give you a name. This is Yicheng. I picked you up here, why not call you Yiren?"

"Yiren, from now on, I will be your adoptive father..."

He is eighteen years old this year, one year older than Luo Jin. At this age, he should have started a family, but he is alone, and he has no plans to start a family. Now that he accidentally picked her up, it is so good, so good.

However, taking care of a baby is not easy. Not only does he have to work hard to find food she can eat, but he also has to bathe and change her swaddling clothes... The baby's skin is delicate, and a red mark will appear with the slightest exertion. He has to serve her carefully and give her When she was taking a bath, he discovered that there were small scales on the inside of the baby's wrists, shoulders and waist. He looked carefully and saw that they looked like snake scales.

So, she is a snake demon? But she is more like a human, half human and half demon, that is, half demon?

Why does this form appear? Is this the case for children born from the union of humans and demons?

He had never seen what a monster looked like before. Unexpectedly, he gained knowledge after coming to Yicheng. He didn't hear the sound of monsters anywhere on weekdays. He was afraid that the monster would hide, perhaps hiding in the crowd in human form. middle.

Shiraishi lived in Yicheng for almost a month. He went out to look for opportunities during the day and came back to rest at night.

During this period of time, I heard a lot of gossip. For example, the former county magistrate returned to Beijing and resumed his post a few months ago. The new county magistrate, whose surname is Wang, is a young man in his twenties. Unfortunately, he doesn’t care about anything, and the people’s complaints are all gone. was dismissed.

People say that the new county magistrate is not as good as the previous magistrate, who was stricter than the law. Regardless of whether he is from Yu State or not, as long as the people sue him, he will redress the grievances of the people and punish the evildoers.

However, I don’t know if it was because he offended the Yu people. A year ago, his only daughter Yang Yiyi was insulted in the street by the Yu people. The family collapsed emotionally and his wife and daughter almost died because of it.

That year, Miss Yang was fourteen years old, in her cardamom years. She was as delicate and beautiful as the apricot blossoms that first bloomed in February. She was so beautiful that countless young talents came to discuss marriage. Unexpectedly, this happened. When something like this happened, people became like birds and beasts for a while, and it only took one night to go from a bustling crowd to a deserted one.

Later, news came out that Miss Yang was pregnant. Magistrate Yang couldn't bear the suffering of his daughter, so he thought of finding a marriage for her.

It's just that after that incident, men regardless of their status were unwilling to ask for marriage.

Helpless, Magistrate Yang decided to find a bride for his daughter. He fell in love with a poor but talented scholar, so he found someone to talk to the scholar about the matter.

The scholar was alone and had no nostalgia, or he was grateful for what Magistrate Yang had done for the people of Yicheng, so he agreed.

It's just that Miss Yang has a spoiled temper and a high-spirited attitude. She doesn't want her life to be arranged like this, so she quarreled with her parents and disagreed with the matter. But at this time, the scholar had brought his own things to his wife, so she was just happy to see this. He looked at it angrily and did not interrupt.

But somehow, Miss Yang later agreed, and the two became husband and wife.

A few months later, Miss Yang gave birth to a baby. Mrs. Wen was frightened by the appearance of the baby. When she ran out in a hurry, she accidentally hit a pillar and died.

The family was having trouble again because of the child. This time Ms. Yang was very violent and insisted on throwing the child away. The child was thrown away but Master Yang found it again. He wanted to persuade his daughter, but he couldn't open his mouth even when he looked at the child.

At this time, a letter came from Beijing, asking Mr. Yang to return to Beijing and resume his duties. The family hurriedly packed their things, made a clear explanation to the newly appointed county magistrate, and left in a hurry. There was no news after that.

I don’t know what happened to the new county magistrate. He didn’t do anything serious for a few months after taking office. He spent all day fighting cocks and walking dogs. Political affairs were all done by his bosses and others. He only played when he was eating, sleeping, and everyone was doing it in private. Are you guessing that the new county magistrate is a playboy from a big family, and he just comes here to have fun in a different place? After all, the new county magistrate is really young and different from previous county magistrates.
