Mortal Mirror

Li Ergou never dreamed that he would see Zhu Zhu in such a scene. Perhaps at this moment, his eyes were only on Zhu Zhu.

Boom! He felt his mind was in chaos. He was stunned, truly stunned.

At that moment, he heard Si Ning's voice, "Eh, he, he looks like Brother Ergou."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhu, who was talking to Chen Qingping, also looked over.

Their eyes met, and that one glance felt like an eternity.

Li Ergou hurriedly thought of his current appearance, and a sense of unspeakable shame, inferiority, and panic arose in his heart. He immediately lowered his head.

He didn't want her to see such an embarrassing side of himself. He had imagined countless scenarios of their meeting, but none of them were like this. He couldn't accept it, he couldn't accept it.

He quickly lowered his head, shaking it constantly, and said, "I'm not, I'm not."

Then his mind was filled with chaos, he turned around and left. At this moment, his heart hurt so much, perhaps even more than the pain on his body.

He wanted to escape from here, leave this place. How pathetic, he shouldn't be so pathetic.

Zhu Zhu was stunned in place. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. Although this beggar's appearance had changed a lot from Li Ergou, his eyes were very similar.

But she couldn't imagine that this was really Li Ergou. If it really was him, then what had he gone through?

If it wasn't him, his words were so strange, and why did he run away?

She found her throat suddenly dry, as if a ball of fire was burning there.

Finally, she shouted in a somewhat hoarse voice, "Li Ergou! Is that really you?"

Li Ergou paused in his steps. For a moment, he really wanted to turn around and tell her, it's me, it's me, Li Ergou. But his heart didn't want her to see his current self.

After all, who would want their favorite person to see their most unbearable side?

Meanwhile, Zhu Zhu's voice was getting closer and closer, shouting, "Li Ergou, it's you, it's really you, stop right there, stop."

At this moment, although Zhu Zhu hadn't completely seen Li Ergou's appearance, she could be sure based on her feelings that it must be Li Ergou, so she chased after him.

Si Ning, Murong Tianxia, and Chen Qingping were all surprised.

Si Ning didn't expect Brother Ergou to be in this state. She just felt that Zhu Zhu had mistaken him. Although he looked a bit like him, she didn't believe that someone as capable as Brother Ergou would be so miserable.

Murong Shijiu thought in his heart that it would be great if this was really Ergou, but then he also wanted Ergou to be doing well. After all, Ergou had treated him very well back then, and they were brothers.

He sighed in his heart, feeling that he had a very contradictory psychology.

Chen Qingping couldn't help but shake her head, thinking that her little junior sister was still too young. He was just a beggar. Even if he really was Li Ergou, you don't need to be like this. Once you enter the Taoist gate, it's like entering a deep sea. From then on, you should sever ties with the mortal world.

If you are so attached to the people of the mortal world, how can you achieve thousands of Taoist techniques?

But she was still curious. She hadn't seen this Li Ergou's appearance just now, and she wanted to see what charm he had that made her beautiful little junior sister so infatuated and unable to forget him.

So she followed without hesitation.

Li Ergou ran quickly, he was afraid, he was so afraid, he was so afraid of seeing Zhu Zhu, of seeing his former friends. Perhaps at this moment, he had never been so timid as a mouse.

Bang! Not having time to watch the road, he bumped into someone. He only felt that he had bumped into a rock, and couldn't help but fall to the ground with a groan.

Then, he saw a tall, dignified middle-aged man, and a graceful young girl.

The girl was very beautiful, but he didn't know why, he seemed to have seen her somewhere.

Before he could say anything, he suddenly saw the girl say in surprise, "Li Ergou, it's you."

Li Ergou was dumbfounded. He nodded slightly and said, "Who are you, why do you recognize me?"

Just as he was wondering, he saw tears falling from the little girl's eyes. She was crying.

This made Li Ergou even more confused.

The little girl said, "How did you become like this? Who hurt you?"

At this moment, Yu Lu was very sad, very sad. She would never forget the scene of Li Ergou giving her father that piece of silver at the steamed bun shop in Tiangou Town.

She had also firmly remembered Li Ergou's face in her heart, so she couldn't be mistaken. This disheveled face in front of her was Li Ergou. Although his appearance had changed a bit, his eyes wouldn't change.

She looked at Li Ergou with heartache, because he was the person she was supposed to protect. Because in those years, she and her father had never received help from anyone else.

Only he had helped them. Yu Lu had always remembered this kindness in her heart. At that time, she vowed in her heart that if she had the ability in the future, she would definitely repay him.

Why was the girl so persistent? Perhaps it was because of her persistence that Tongtian had taken her as his disciple.

Or perhaps, the people in the world are all different. Just like Li Ergou back then, Grandma Wu saved him, so he didn't hesitate to die to help Grandma Wu find the Golden Toad with Three Legs. Perhaps you could say he was stupid, but this was the persistence of these stubborn people. A drop of water in need shall be returned with a spring.

Seeing the little girl crying sadly, Li Ergou would never doubt that these tears were deceptive. His heart ached for some reason.

He hurriedly comforted her, "It's okay, I'm fine, you... you don't cry, okay?"

At this moment, Zhu Zhu and the others also caught up. They saw Li Ergou sitting on the ground. Zhu Zhu hurried up, looked down at Li Ergou, and regardless of the dirt on his body, brushed aside his hair, revealing his face.

At this moment, Zhu Zhu looked at Li Ergou, without speaking, but her eyes were full of heartache and sadness.

At the same time, Yu Lu also came to Li Ergou's front, grabbed his hand and said, "Li Ergou, I am Yu Lu, do you still remember the father and daughter at the steamed bun shop back then?

You gave my father Fuwa a piece of silver, so I didn't die later. Now I have a name called Yu Lu, which my master gave me."

Zhu Zhu looked at Yu Lu, hearing her words, her face was full of surprise. She could see that the little girl, who was about thirteen or fourteen years old, was graceful, with red lips and white teeth, a beautiful figure. If she was given time, she would definitely be a stunning beauty.

But she didn't expect that she didn't dislike the dirt on Li Ergou's body either. What surprised her even more was the look in the little girl's eyes when she looked at Li Ergou. Was that look deep affection?

How old is she? Am I overthinking it?

Zhu Zhu quickly looked at Li Ergou again, with some concern and some anger, and said, "Li Ergou, what happened to you, why did you run away?"

Li Ergou looked at Zhu Zhu, and then looked at Yu Lu, smiled bitterly in his heart, didn't speak, but laughed hahaha, tears streaming down his face.
