After the truth came out, they begged me not to die.

Chapter 4: Leaving an orphan at the end of life

Everyone looked attentively.

In the mirror.

The night was dark, and little Chen Zun was feeling sleepy when he was cold and hungry. Just as he was about to fall asleep, he heard movement outside the door.

In the dead of night, who comes to this shabby little temple?

Little Chen Zun woke up immediately, grabbed a stick next to him, held his breath attentively, and looked over quietly.

In the dim night, a figure has arrived outside the temple gate.

Judging from the figure, she looked like a woman holding a child in her arms. She seemed to be injured and her walking was unsteady.

The woman was holding a sword in her hand. As soon as she reached the temple gate, she fell to the ground and struggled to get up.

Xiao Chen Zun saw this and didn't dare to say anything, let alone go over because he smelled the strong smell of blood and wondered if this person would take action against him.

The woman was wary, looked in the direction of Xiao Chen Zun, and shouted in a low voice: "Who is in there?"

In the dark night, it was almost impossible to see clearly, and the woman didn't know if she was bluffing or if she really found him.

Little Chen Zun's body froze and his head turned rapidly. He didn't know whether to go out or continue to hide until the woman raised the long sword in her hand to throw it at her.

His instinct told him that he would die if he didn't speak out if he was discovered.

"You...who are you?"

Little Chen Zun knew that he had been discovered, so he gritted his teeth, took courage, grabbed the stick with both hands, and walked out slowly.

When the woman saw that it was a little beggar, her tense nerves relaxed. However, this caused her wounds to open up a lot, and she couldn't help but groan in pain, but she didn't scream out loud.

At this time, the child in the woman's arms squatted beside her, grabbed the woman's clothes, and cried softly: "Mom, get up quickly."

Judging from the voice, the child turned out to be a girl about two or three years old.

After the pain subsided, the woman comforted the girl, and the girl's sobs subsided, and then she said to little Chen Zun: "Don't worry, I'm not a bad person."

Little Chen Zun didn't dare to go over. He hesitated and said, "You seem to be injured."

The woman wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and smiled bitterly. Not only was she injured, it was hard to tell whether her life could be saved.

Suddenly, several streaks of light flashed across the horizon and rushed toward her. The woman's expression changed, and she secretly thought something was wrong.

Unexpectedly, those people had already chased after him.

The enemy is right in front of us, but in his current state, he can no longer run far.

Thinking that mother and daughter were going to die here, her expression darkened.

After looking at Xiao Chen Zun, the woman gritted her teeth and decided to take a gamble.

"Little brother, come here. I want to ask you something. I hope you won't refuse."

Xiao Chen Zun hesitated for a moment, then walked over.

His intuition told him that this woman didn't look like a bad person.

The woman sat up, took out a jade pendant from her arms, stuffed it into little Chen Zun's hand, and said sadly: "My life is not long, and my enemies have already caught up with me. My daughter is still young, and she will die if she falls into the hands of her enemies." , you take this jade pendant, please take my daughter and hide it, don’t let them find it, if you can, please find Tianyuan Sect.”

Little Chen Zun held the jade pendant and didn't know what to do.

The girl thought that the woman didn't want her anymore, so she cried: "Mom, don't you want me anymore?"

"Don't cry, those bad people will hear you."

The woman covered the girl's mouth with her hands and scolded her softly.

When the girl nodded gently, she touched the girl's face gently, with eyes full of reluctance: "Good boy, you have to listen to mother, hide with this brother, don't make a sound, listen to him, mother will lead those people away. Bad guy, I’ll come back to you again.”

The girl had tears on her face, but she was obedient, nodded, and didn't make any fuss.

"Little brother, if I can't come back, please be kind to her, can you promise me?"

The woman pushed the girl in front of Xiao Chen Zun, her eyes showing pleading.

Little Chen Zun couldn't see her face clearly, but he could hear the sadness in the woman's voice. He held the girl's little hand with a solemn face and nodded.

"Okay, I promise you."

The woman felt relieved that the funeral arrangements had been arranged and there was no nonsense. The enemies were coming soon and they would find out that this place was not safe sooner or later. She wanted to attract the attention of these people.

Before leaving, the woman thought of something. She was afraid she would never come back. She said seriously: "After I leave, no matter who comes, don't come out. Even if it's me, don't respond."

"Don't worry, I know how to do it."

Little Chen Zun also knew that things were not that simple, so he nodded heavily.

The woman felt relieved. She gritted her teeth and stood up. She cut off a piece of her dress with her sword, rolled up some hay and held it in her arms. She gave the girl a last reluctant look, turned around and walked out resolutely.

Little Chen Zun didn't dare to delay any longer. He couldn't stay in a corner. He remembered that there was a secret door under the clay base of the Bodhisattva in the temple. There was a small pit underneath. I don't know what it used to be. There was not much space inside, but If you squeeze a little, you can still hide two children.

Pushing away the stone slab, the two of them hid in the small pit, then returned the stone slab to its place, and the temple returned to silence.

……

Outside the mirror.

"Who is this woman? Who is chasing her?"

"Who knows, but the Demon Lord is quite impressive. At such a young age, he still knows how to hide under the clay statue."

"Hey, shouldn't you pay more attention to who that girl is? The woman who is following the Demon Lord should not be an unknown person. Why haven't you heard of her?"

Everyone looked at the picture in the Shuiyue Mirror and talked about it.

Everyone didn't seem to care about the jade pendant, and they were all guessing about the identity of the woman and girl.

On the other hand, Zhao Lingyun's expression suddenly changed when she saw the jade pendant, if she saw it correctly.

That jade pendant...

She reached out and touched the thing hanging in front of her neck, holding it tightly.

"No, it's impossible..."

Zhao Lingyun turned pale and muttered to herself.

Yan Jiwu, the master of Shuiyuezhai, also noticed the jade pendant and felt that it looked familiar. He looked at Zhao Lingyun and noticed something unusual about her, and he immediately guessed something.

Shen Ruoyan looked at Zhao Lingyun with cold eyes.

Ling Tian stood next to Zhao Lingyun, frowned, and asked with concern: "Fairy Lingyun, what's wrong with you?"

Zhao Lingyun was silent, his expression unnatural, and he stared at Shuiyue Jing.

……

In the mirror.

In the temple.

The night was still so dark, but the wind was no longer noisy, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.

Little Chen Zun and the girl have been hiding under the altar for a long time.

In the small space, the girl was very tired, and because of her young age, she had fallen asleep in the arms of little Chen Zun, with a smile on her lips.

But he did not fall asleep because the woman had been out for too long and had not come back yet.

I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly, a woman’s voice came from outside the temple.

"Daughter, mother is back, come out quickly."

The girl woke up instantly, with joy on her face. Just as she was about to respond, little Chen Zun reached out and covered her mouth tightly.

His face was full of vigilance and he did not dare to make any sound.

When the woman left, she had explained that he did not dare to be careless, and he even felt the voice of the woman outside the temple gate.

Nothing is right at all.
