In early summer, the sun is just right.

The long street was full of people and traffic.The yelling of vendors and the conversation of pedestrians are intertwined. It is very lively.

A young man in blue walked through the bustling crowd and came to a shop.He raised his head, looked at the plaque, saw the three characters "Yishantang" outlined in gold powder on it, and stepped in.

"Do one good deed every day, the more the better!" The owner greeted customers habitually, and when he raised his head, his eyes lit up.

The visitor was a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old.With black boots on his feet, a jade belt around his waist, and a sapphire blue fairy suit, he has a handsome figure and an extraordinary bearing.He has a baby face, fair face, and looks cute and cute.But his eyes are round and bright, and when he smiles, they bend into slits, showing a bit of cunning.

——It was Jiang Yanxiao in disguise.

Two days ago, the moment he stepped out of Yunfu Mountain, Jiang Yanxiao started the next mission, and at the same time obtained the golden finger - the face-changing technique suitable for both beautiful and ugly people.

The system showed him the shop of the virtual plane. There are various face shapes and facial features in the shop for Jiang Yanxiao to choose from.Jiang Yanxiao considered for a long time, and chose a baby face that looked far from her real face, but was very pleasing to the eye.

If we say that Jiang Yanxiao used to be a sunny, smiling, expressive young man who escaped, once he put on this face, he immediately became docile and well-behaved, harmless to humans and animals, very confusing.

The system boasted at that time: [Smile, you really know how to choose. 】

Jiang Yanxiao didn't know what the system meant, thinking that the system was praising him for his vision, so he accepted it happily.He was indeed very satisfied with his new appearance, and then deliberately bypassed Yunfu Town, traveled thousands of miles with his sword, and came to this small southern town.

Having said that, although Jiang Yanxiao changed his appearance, he didn't bring a change of clothes, and he was still wearing the fairy clothes that Li Xuanqing gave him.Therefore, he urgently needs to come to Yishantang to pawn the crane feather in exchange for some money so that he can buy a new outfit.

Here, the shopkeeper looked silently for a second, greeted Jiang Yan attentively, and smiled at Jiang Yan: "This little fairy, what do you want to pawn?"

"This." Jiang Yanxiao took out a feather from the Qiankun bag.

This feather is pure white and flawless, about the length of a little finger.Under the sun, the fine fluff vibrates with the breeze, and you can feel the delicate and soft touch without touching it.

"Crane Feather in Yunfu Mountain." Jiang Yan smiled at the shopkeeper and said, "It's what I want to pawn."

The shopkeeper first heard Jiang Yan laughing, and his mouth opened wide.When Jiang Yanxiao pulled out his feathers, the shopkeeper glanced away, but the joy on his face turned into faint doubts.

He said: "Little Immortal, can I touch this feather?"

Jiang Yan smiled: "Of course!"

He handed the feather to the shopkeeper, who took it with both hands and placed it in his palm.

He raised his thumb and index finger together, and gently pinched the edge of the feather, the joy on his face completely disappeared.

"This little fairy," the shopkeeper looked at Jiang Yan and smiled, "This kind of feather is not suitable for this shop."

Jiang Yan was taken aback with a smile.

"What do you mean... Isn't this the fairy crane feather?"

The shopkeeper returned the feather to Jiang Yanxiao: "No, this is indeed the Yunfu Mountain Crane Feather, but it's not the kind we want."

"I don't know where the little fairy got this feather. If you bought it from someone else, then you must have been cheated!" The shopkeeper looked at Jiang Yan with a sympathetic smile, as if treating him as a fool with a lot of money. Young Master, "The Yunfu Mountain Crane Feather, specifically the tail feathers of the Yunfu Mountain Crane! Yours is a belly feather, worthless!"

"... Belly feathers?!" Jiang Yan shook his hand with a smile, looking at the feathers in his hands.

In his memory, Li Xuanqing did exchange the long and gorgeous black feathers for mountains of gold.But precisely because of this, he didn't pick up a similar feather when he left.

On the one hand, Jiang Yanxiao felt guilty.He had already fled without authorization, and when he left, he took away such a valuable feather, no matter how you think about it, it's too tasteless.

On the other hand, Jiang Yanxiao thinks he doesn't need that much money.He speculated that the longer the feather, the higher the value, and he deliberately picked and picked in the snow, and found a short and soft feather, intending to exchange it for enough silver taels.

Now, people from Yishantang tell him that this feather is worthless?

Jiang Yan smiled unwillingly: "What kind of cheap method is that?"

The shopkeeper said: "It's worthless!"

"..." Jiang Yan smiled and his eyes darkened.

He originally planned to change a set of clothes immediately after getting the money, and put away the one he was wearing, so as to avoid right and wrong, and to keep it as a souvenir.Looking at it now, it is impossible to do such a simple thing.

He is penniless, he can't steal or rob, and he might be recognized as a performer on the street, how can he get a new set of clothes?

Jiang Yan stared angrily at this belly feather for a long time, but he couldn't bear to throw it away, put it back in his sleeve, and left Yishantang.

Three days later.Fengcheng.

The sun was shining brightly, scorching the earth extremely hot.Outside the tall city gate, a group of armored soldiers patrolling back and forth in front of the gate with swords and guns in hand.

At the same time, on the wasteland three miles away from Fengcheng, a group of ragged people were supporting each other and walking slowly towards the gate of Fengcheng.

"Hurry up, it's almost here!" A shriveled and emaciated woman looked into the distance, and for the first time a smile appeared on her face that had become haggard from hunger and exhaustion in the past few days, "Dad, mother, little tiger, everyone, hold on until we get into the city." , we'll have something to eat!"

"...Mmm." Several people responded intermittently, their voices were very hoarse.

There are two old people and a man beside the woman.The man was also yellow and thin, with a slightly hunched back, supporting two rickety old people from left to right.The old man's hair was gray and his face was full of dimples. He panted every step of the way as he walked, as if he was about to fall to the ground at any moment.

There was also a child wrapped around the woman's back with sackcloth strips. The child was huddled up, thin and small, lying on the woman's back, as if it would be knocked off at any time.

"Mother...I'm hungry..." He whimpered, his voice weak, worse than a milk cat.

The woman's eyes turned red.

"Be patient, Hu Zi... Mother promises, there will be something to eat soon!"

*

Jiang Yanxiao stopped and walked, and was delayed on the road for three days.

When he was approaching Fengcheng, he changed to Yujian and looked down from a high altitude, just in time to see the above scene.

Jiang Yanxiao observed silently for a while—there were about 40 to [-] people in the group, all of them dragged their families along and walked forward with difficulty.

They were unkempt, ragged, and frivolous in their steps, as if they hadn't had a full meal for many days.

Jiang Yan smiled and clapped his hands: [System!I have found a kindred spirit! 】

【…】The system said, 【Are you referring to the clothes? 】

Jiang Yanxiao lowered his head to look at the rough linen shirt he was wearing—it was taken off the scarecrow when he was passing through a field.

This sackcloth was extremely rough and extremely tattered, with a cursory glance, at least a dozen holes of different sizes could be seen, it could be said that the clothes were not covering the body.

Jiang Yanxiao was very satisfied.

[I'm so miserable, it will definitely arouse his sympathy. ] He pulled the sackcloth to cover his exposed waist, 【Go, go down and have a look! 】

After finishing speaking, Jiang Yan smiled and went down with his sword, and jumped off ten feet away from the group of refugees.

With a flash of white light, the Floating Sword was put into the sleeve.Jiang Yanxiao quickly removed the hair band, grabbed a few handfuls of hair randomly, and when the hair was torn into a chicken coop, he stretched out his hand and grabbed it in vain, and a handful of dust flew into his hand from the wasteland.

Jiang Yanxiao sprinkled the dust on his hair, shook it, and then threw it on his face, wiping a few gray marks.But in the blink of an eye, he made himself ashamed, as if he had rolled on the ground.

[Come on! 】

Jiang Yan ran forward with a smile, and ran to the end of this group of refugees.

At the end of the team was a young man with a hemp stem, as thin and bony as a bamboo pole.He was shuffling forward, walking slower and slower, falling to the end of the line and about to leave the line at any time, but suddenly a figure sprang out beside him, superimposed on his shadow.

"My dear friend, are you going to Fengcheng too?"

It's been a long time since I heard such an angry voice. The young man turned his face and opened his eyes slightly: "You, who are you?!"

"...you are not from our village!"

The laughter of the system came from his mind, Jiang Yanxiao pretended not to hear it, and said to the young man with a stick: "I am not from your village, but I am also a poor person similar to you."

"I have no relatives, no home to return to!" Jiang Yan smiled and covered his face with his hands, his shoulders and voice trembled together, "Wandering around, begging in Fengcheng today, just bumped into you."

Although the man was hungry, he was not stupid.Listening to Jiang Yan introducing himself with a smile and singing, his eyes showed doubts: "Are you a beggar?"

Jiang Yan smiled: "Yes, yes."

Ma Gan: "Have you not eaten for a long time?"

Jiang Yan covered his stomach with a smile: "I haven't eaten rice for three days!"

In fact, more than three days!Speaking of serious meals, Jiang Yanxiao hasn't eaten for a long time, and a bird is almost fading out of his mouth.Fortunately, he has already fasted, so he doesn't feel hungry, otherwise he might be like this group of refugees, so hungry that he can't straighten up.

Ma Gan still didn't believe it: "Then why are you talking so vigorously?!"

Jiang Yan said with a smile: "Because I have wild fruits to fill my stomach!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yanxiao shook his long sleeves, shaking out a lot of wild fruits like a magic trick.

Gudong Gudong, the red wild fruit hit the ground, stained with ash.Ma Gan's eyes lit up, staring at Yeguo like a hungry wolf seeing meat.

"Hey, don't worry, don't worry, let's share the good things together," Jiang Yanxiao greeted loudly, "There are wild fruits here, everyone come and eat!"

Hearing the sound, a group of people in front of them slowly turned around like zombies, with a faint green light in their eyes!

"Boom!" They rushed over in a swarm.

"Hey! Don't squeeze, don't grab!!" Jiang Yanxiao was submerged in the crowd, "One for each, everyone has a share!"

"Ouch, my feet!!!"

After half a stick of incense, everyone finished eating and set off again.

Because Jiang Yanxiao's generosity relieved the urgent needs of the refugees, they no longer held hostility towards Jiang Yanxiao, but pulled him into the middle of the team and hugged him away.

One person handed over a slender bamboo pole, and Jiang Yanxiao took it, as if the leader of the beggar gang got a dog-beating stick and tapped it on the ground a few times.

——Finally found a weapon that can replace the Floating Sword and fit the current status!

Jiang Yan waved the bamboo pole a few times with a smile, and felt that it was very easy to do. He couldn't help but curled his lips into a smile, and quickly curled his lips to cover it up.

"Little brother, are you going to Fengcheng too?" A person beside him asked.

"Ah, yes." Jiang Yan nodded with a smile, "I heard that there is an Enci Temple in Fengcheng. Every day at noon, it does charity and gives a bowl of porridge to those who have nothing to eat."

"Since we are all going there," Jiang Yanxiao extended a warm invitation to them, "Maybe form a group and go begging together!"
