There were slight stabbing pains from the calf, which made Cong Rong frowned suddenly, and in a panic, he slapped the woman on the shoulder, knocking her on the ground and crawling for a while, finally knelt down not far away the ground.

The original pair of beautiful eyebrows and eyes are now crowded together ferociously because of fear, adding a bit of horror, and the thin figure is trembling violently like a convulsion.

However, what is even more unbelievable is that in her expression of fear, panic, and anger, there seems to be a bit of ignorance of not knowing where she is.

However, this kind of bewildered look disappeared in the blink of an eye on the woman's face.

She suddenly drank furiously as if possessed by a madman, and sometimes used her long and terrifying nails that had not been trimmed for a long time to scratch the hard surface one after another without stopping. Scratch marks, from time to time staring at a pair of pupils so small that they were only a little bit, stared straight at Cong Rong.

Look at that look, it seems that he wants to turn his gaze into a sharp knife and poke a hole through him.

Cong Rong felt a sudden chill, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "I really..."

He hesitated to speak, but the stall owner behind him interjected, "Oh, my lord, don't worry about this woman, she's just crazy."

Cong Rong asked in astonishment, "Crazy?"

From the point of view of behavior, it is quite crazy, but if a lunatic dresses a bit too decently, besides, will there be a lunatic who knows how to wear a veil without going crazy and take it off?

"This woman, after the death of her husband, she became crazy, and she was arrested when she saw outsiders." The stall owner said, "And she is also dumb, unable to speak, isn't it, everyone thinks she is unlucky, They all avoid her. I advise you, son, it's better not to pay attention to her."

But Cong Rong is the kind of person who refuses to follow his heart obediently. He only heard him ask: "Mute? Are you born with it?"

Seeing that he didn't shy away from it, the stall owner was stunned for a while, and then said with a smile: "I don't know, after all, this woman is from outside, and our people also saw her holding a portrait at the time." Painting, with a crazy appearance, he gestured from house to house, who knew what he meant, and then gradually realized that she was looking for someone, and the person in the painting was his husband."

Qu Ling pursed his lips, looked worriedly at the woman kneeling on the ground, and said to the stall owner, "Then where is her husband, have you found it?"

"Well, let's not say that this woman has no relatives and no reason. No one will help her find it. Even if there are kind people who are willing to help, it will be in vain." The stall owner said, "It is said that her husband is a cultivator. One is big, is that something we ordinary people can find, we can’t find it even if we try to find it.”

"Can't find it?" Cong Rong asked, "Then why do you say it's dead?"

"This...but it's even more strange!"

The stall owner motioned for Cong Rong to get closer to him, so Cong Rong moved closer to him.

The stall owner whispered: "I heard from others that this woman would secretly go to the woods every few days to burn paper money for her husband! I don't know what kind of magic this woman has used. She has no flint, but she can make a fire regardless." , Do you think it's strange or not!"

Cong Rong calmly listened to the stall owner's astonished expression as if he was telling a ghost story.

He thought to himself, "What's so strange about this? It's good to be able to practice ordinary Dharma."Since this woman's husband is a cultivator, it is not uncommon for her to know a little magic.

He asked: "Then does she have any other relatives, and leave her alone?"

"Oh, what a coincidence." The stall owner let out a sigh of relief, "This woman seems to have a daughter or a niece, but she is only seventeen years old this year, and she was dragged to participate in the sacrificial ceremony not long ago. It will be annihilated in ashes in two days."

Qu Ling suddenly looked at Cong Rong and said, "Could it be... just now she actually wanted to ask you for help to save her daughter?"

Cong Rong said expressionlessly, "Hehe."

help?

Dare to scratch me with those sharp claws that can kill people, come to ask me for help?

Who believes!

"Uhhhhhhhhh..."

The woman suddenly had another attack, and she didn't care about the wound after being slapped by Cong Rong before, but her eyes were fixed on him, her hands were gesturing randomly, and she didn't know what to mutter in her mouth.

At that moment just now, Cong Rong was afraid of being caught by her, lest this person rush up without warning, she instinctively shrank her neck and took a step back.

This back bumped into Bai Yuan's chest.

Bai Yuan glanced across Cong Rong's calf area lightly with downcast eyes and said, "She may have something else to say."

"I don't care what she has to say, she rushed up and bumped into me for no reason, and scratched me instead!" Cong Rong scratched his scalp, feeling annoyed in his heart, "Let's not say that she is not clear-headed, even if she is She wants to ask us to save her daughter, so why is she scratching me? If it is true what the boss said, she is just an unknown lunatic, how did she see that I can help her? It is simply inexplicable, she left, no matter what .”

As the stall owner said, he is not obliged to take care of the affairs of a lunatic who is not clear-headed.

There are so many people on the street who don't want to do it, why come to him?Even lunatics treat them as outsiders and are easy to bully!

After he finished speaking, he turned to leave, but was pulled down by Qu Ling.

Just look at him blinking his eyes and said to him: "She is a weak woman who has fallen to the streets, and even her only daughter will die soon, she must not have the confidence to live anymore, or we should help her."

Cong Rong frowned and said, "How can I help?"

Qu Ling said, "Take her with you?"

Cong Rong's face was suddenly covered with dark clouds.

fuck you!

Young man, are you really itchy? Have you forgotten how you became possessed?Want to repeat the same mistakes?

"Are you missing a root in your brain?" Cong Rong tugged at his ear and yelled, "We are here to sacrifice the phoenix, not to help the poor! Put away your sympathy!"

Excessive sympathy can sometimes make people very sick, no!

Qu Ling's ears were pulled up and down by him, and the strong tearing sensation made him frown, but he was still muttering: "But..."

Cong Rong said angrily: "No, but, some irrelevant things can not be done, so don't do them!"

After he picked up Qu Ling's ear, he strode forward without looking back, ready to leave.

He was obviously just a young boy, but the way he taught Qu Ling was very tone-deaf.

I can't stand what this guy is thinking!

When can this deadly problem be corrected?

Want to help her, how to help, bring her by your side?

To put it bluntly, it is actually a thankless burden.

Although it sounds like Cong Rong is heartless, it is actually true.

Not only will following them cause inconvenience and trouble to them, but also their experience this time is not a joke, and it is completely impossible to spend their minds on protecting the woman.

Bai Yuan immediately followed behind the two of them, and after walking a few steps, he seemed to have thought of something, paused for a moment, and looked sideways.

The woman was still half-kneeling on the ground, looking sadly at this side.

Following his gaze, he found that the woman's gaze was always on Cong Rong's body.Even though the two of them had walked away, she never looked away for a moment, she just stared at his back motionless, it was really weird.

Cong Rong shouted in front: "Bai Yuan? Let's go!"

After hearing the sound, Bai Yuan looked away from the woman and walked towards him, but stopped after walking a few steps.

The reason was that Cong Rong threw a small piece of silver like a firefly that came from nowhere at him.

He pointed to the broken silver and said, "Give this to her first."

Qu Ling was still rubbing his ears in frustration before, but when he saw this, his eyes lit up, he took Cong Rong's hand with both hands, and burst into tears of joy: "You are really a good person!"

Cong Rong pulled his hand out of his palm with black lines all over his face, and said in disgust: "Put away your snot for me!"

Although I can't take her with me, it's not impossible to give some money a little bit of meaning.Looking at Qu Ling's weeping and grateful expression, could it be that in his eyes, he is a person who is so heartless that he can get excited like this by doing something conscientious! ?

Bai Yuan looked at the scattered pieces of silver in his hand and was startled for a while, then asked him, "Where did they come from?"

Cong Rong said without changing his face: "I touched it on your body a few days ago."

He has no money.

Qu Ling laughed and said, "The way you get along is really strange."

……

Since no one was allowed to go to Lihuotai before the opening of the Phoenix Sacrifice, they roughly only traveled abroad and took a look at it from a distance, then randomly found a good-looking inn and settled down.

But because the three of them rode in the carriage for almost a whole day from this morning to the end of entering the city gate, they had enough sleep, food, and boredom, so Cong Rong still had enough. Energy can be used to escape.

He wandered around the inn from time to time, and when he saw a stall selling fans, he became interested. He bought a fan with the broken silver in his pocket, and then picked up a brush and ink to show his painting skills on it.

Adding inscriptions was all based on imagination, so after he successfully drew a dog-like portrait, he nodded in satisfaction, then happily went upstairs humming a little song, and went straight into Bai Yuan's room next door, He slapped the fan on the table openly and said loudly: "This is for you!"

Bai Yuan was concentrating on the side just now, when he saw him barging in without even knocking, he opened his eyes slightly, glanced coldly at the fan on the table, picked up a cup of tea, sipped lightly, and said: " What?"

"Your portrait!" Cong Rong said proudly with his chin raised, "I saw that there was someone doing this business downstairs, so I boldly tried it, and it turned out to be as good-looking as I expected. It’s your money too, so don’t thank me deliberately.”

Looking at the unkempt "human face" on the fan, Bai Yuan continued to drink tea without saying a word, and waited until the tea in the cup was finished before he said leisurely: "Look at your lively appearance, your legs don't hurt anymore. ?”

Cong Rong waved his hand and said: "It doesn't hurt or it doesn't hurt, it's just a few shallow marks. How about it? Do you like it or not?"

He stared at Bai Yuan's face with a smile on his face, hoping to hear a word or two of praise from him.

Bai Yuan said concisely and lightly: "It's not bad."

"I must have liked this word from your mouth. As expected of me as a soul painter, even Bai Yuan praised it. I'm so good..." Cong Rong straightened his waist, Ben wanted to exaggerate and brag about himself, when he heard a knock on the door.

Qu Ling said outside the door: "Master Bai, you asked me about jade this morning..."

Bai Yuan interrupted him: "Come in and we'll talk."

So Qu Ling pushed open the door and walked in, looked at Cong Rong, found that he was holding his ghostly fan in his hand, and asked, "What is this?"

Cong Rong showed him the graffiti on it shamelessly, and said, "Nong, I painted Bai Yuan, does it look like it?"

"Uh... Mr. Cong, do you want to hear the truth?" Qu Ling blinked and smiled awkwardly, "I didn't realize that the painting on it was a person."

Cong Rong snorted and said, "I don't understand art."

He didn't believe it, he thought to himself, how can this calligraphy be appreciated by this fox?It is Bai Yuan who has good eyesight to know what is good.

"Hehehe...By the way, Mr. Bai, you asked me about where Gu Hanbing found it this morning, so there should be some clues." Qu Ling took out a piece of paper from his arms and said, "I used to read it from Fan Yunrui. I have seen related things about Gu Hanbing, so I wrote down most of what I know just now, please take a look."
