Feast of Rebirth

In a ruined temple in the wilderness, the little beggar huddled under a tree with a crooked neck and took a nap, nodding his head.Bursts of fragrance wafted over, and the hunger that had been suppressed by drowsiness suddenly revived.The little beggar looked up dimly, and an old woman was carrying the burden. On one side was a charcoal stove with a fire still burning inside, and on the other was a small wooden cabinet. The old woman seemed to be able to carry such a heavy burden with ease.

The little beggar stared at the charcoal stove and swallowed. There must be something simmering on top of the charcoal stove. It should be steamed buns, right?He smelled the aroma of wheat... Gululu, his stomach growled in response to the occasion.

The old woman unloaded the burden, lowered her head and took out a small horse tie from the wooden cabinet, opened it and sat down to rest.

The little beggar watched eagerly, and the old woman turned her head inadvertently, her eyes met.After a while, the old woman raised her hand and said kindly, "Son, come here."

The little beggar sucked his finger and walked over hesitantly, the old woman asked gently, "How old are you?"

The little beggar didn't speak.

"Do you have parents?"

……

The little beggar's stomach growled again, and he stepped back a little awkwardly.The old woman smiled, turned around and lifted the lid of the charcoal stove, and the smell of wheat and heat rushed out.The little beggar swallowed hard, watching the old woman cut the hot steamed bun in half with a small knife, and the wooden cabinet on the other side kept the meat stuffing, put a spoon on the knife and put it in: "Eat it."

The little beggar didn't care about the heat, so he took it and bit it down while panting. The lard squeezed out of the stuffing flowed down the edge of the steamed bun and onto the back of his dirty hands, making him scream, but From the beginning to the end, he was holding on to the cake tightly.

The old woman kept laughing, and when the little beggar finished eating voraciously, she smiled and said, "Is it delicious?"

The little beggar's tongue was so hot that he opened his mouth and couldn't speak.

"Are you full?" the old woman asked again.

The little beggar blinked and shook his head.

The old woman smiled, and reached out to touch the little beggar's head: "Then I'll take you to a good place, where you can learn some crafts and pay homage to a master, so you won't have to worry about food in the future."

The little beggar hummed twice, and found that the old woman had been touching his head, and the scalp gradually became tighter, as if being firmly grasped by something, the force was getting stronger and stronger, squeezing Head, he cried out in pain, and then passed out.

In the darkness of nothingness, the little beggar had a strange and specious dream in a trance. He dreamed that he had turned into a cow and was put on a nose ring by an old woman who carried the burden. The nose ring hurt so much that he shed tears. .

However, his legs and feet didn't seem to belong to him anymore, being held by the old woman, his consciousness was broken, and he couldn't control himself.The old woman rode him through the wilderness, into the city, into the bustling streets and into the residential areas.The old woman greeted the acquaintances, and he tried his best to turn his head to the people passing by on the street and call for help, but when the words reached his mouth, they all turned into a more shrill cow cry.

He was also whipped by the old woman, and the little beggar cried again in pain.

It's over, it's all over this time.When he met a monster, he was going to be slaughtered like a beast... The little beggar was crying, calling his mother, father, and the grandmother who loved him the most, but those people were gone.

Crying and crying, he hiccups and wakes up.

In a very dilapidated house, there is a strange piece of paper emitting gentle white light floating in the air. Under the luminous piece of paper, there is a person sitting on the ground, with a notebook on his knees, writing and drawing, and the floor is covered with various kinds of paper. Bottles and cans.

The little beggar twisted his waist, only to realize that his legs were still like cow legs, and he cried out in fright.

Yun Congfeng closed the notebook, stood up and patted the little beggar's head. The little beggar was even more frightened. He suddenly realized that this action was no longer the usual meaning for the little beggar. Bring out your Qingping Envoy's badge: "Qingping Envoy knows?"

The little beggar was timid and did not speak.

"I'm the Qingping envoy, and I've been catching this old witch, so you don't have to worry about me being a bad person. Do you feel your mouth is bitter? That's the antidote I made based on the evil medicine. It will take half an hour for your leg to recover It's normal." Yun Congfeng said, and pushed him back: "Take a good rest, it will be fine after you wake up from sleep."

The little beggar lay down and said cautiously, "I'm hungry..."

Yun Congfeng hesitated: "Then I'll go to the street to buy something to eat." He immediately went out.

The little beggar watched him go out of the corner of his eyes, and immediately turned over to run, but Niu Hua's lower body couldn't exert any strength at all, and it took him a while to crawl on his elbows before he could barely reach the threshold.As for Yun Congfeng, who has healthy hands and feet and will be back soon, he is a little desperate.

"Want to run?" Another sinister laugh came from the corner: "Do you want to run?"

The little beggar recognized it, it was the voice of the old hag!He rolled into the corner all at once: "You! What do you want to do!"

The old witch has been in a corner not far from him, tied up like a crab, and sneered sinisterly: "You think you'll be fine if you become a human? It's so beautiful, I've got another kind of poison in my body, As long as I die, you will die with me! It will turn into pus, and it will be extremely painful!"

The little beggar stared at her in horror, and the old woman continued to threaten with a ferocious face: "You'd better untie this rope for me right now, let me go, I will help you detoxify, and I will do what I say. If you don't help, hehe, You won't be able to survive the day the government chops off my head!"

After the old witch finished speaking, she saw that the little beggar didn't respond, and she was even more annoyed: "Why don't you move? If I die, you don't even want to live! You have helped me now, and you still have a chance to live! That brat can untangle me!" Poison? A joke! Just because he claims to be Qingping envoy? You don’t even think about how old he is! Are you worthy?!”

"Why don't you deserve it?" Yun Congfeng strode in, and the old woman's face turned gray all of a sudden: "With your little tricks, are you embarrassed to come out and do evil?"

Yun Congfeng bought two roasted sweet potatoes and wrapped them in lotus leaves.He squatted down, uncovered the lotus leaf, and gushed out sweet steam: "Don't eat! He's also a monster!" The old hag screamed strangely again, her voice was so harsh, Yun Congfeng frowned: "I knew you wouldn't I'll be safe." She raised her finger and said "shh" to the old woman.

The old woman was horrified to find that she couldn't open her mouth anymore, she whimpered, with a venomous look in her eyes.

Yun Congfeng broke apart the roasted sweet potato, bit half of it himself, blew it, and handed it over: "Huh?"

The little beggar took it and devoured it hungrily. He ate half of it and ate the other half. After a few efforts, both sweet potatoes went into his stomach.

Yun Congfeng sat back and went on with his work. He needed to store all the magical artifacts and various unknown potions he found from the old witch's body, and record them one by one. This would be important evidence for filing a case in the future.

He sniffed this, sniffed that.Most of the potions are basic raw materials, some are used to make drugs, some are made to turn human bodies into cows and horses, and some have unknown ingredients and strange smells. It is difficult for Yun Congfeng to judge. After the jars were sealed, he picked up one of the bottles with unknown ingredients, and walked up to the old hag: "What is this for?"

The old witch sneered.

"Don't you say it? When we get to the big prison, the interrogator won't be as nice as me."

The old hag still sneered.

Yun Congfeng suddenly had an idea, squatted down and frowned: "Why don't you tell me, who are you going to make medicine for?"

The old witch's complexion changed drastically, and she began to struggle instinctively, and the ropes that bound her body became tighter and tighter.Yun Congfeng was also a little astonished. The old witch's reaction could be said to have perfectly verified the "rumours in the market". He decided to continue provoking: "Let me guess again, is that big shot in the palace?"

In fact, he just said casually that the most powerful ministers and lords in the current court often go in and out of the palace, so of course it can be said that they belong to the palace.But the old hag's reaction was more intense than he had imagined: "Shut up! Shut up..." Shocked and panicked.

Yun Congfeng frowned, and decided not to interrogate here.Interrogation should be left to professionals. If he continues to ask, he is afraid that this old hag will kill her, and all efforts will be in vain.

"Get up." Yun Congfeng grabbed the demon rope and pulled her to stand up. The old witch lost her mind and laughed strangely. The more she laughed, the more crazy she became. Smiling and laughing, she coughed violently and gurgled. A torrent of black blood came out.

not good.Yun Congfeng suddenly felt that something was wrong, but at this time it was impossible to remedy, the old hag fell down straight, Yun Congfeng tugged, and suddenly felt the most important thing: to trap the soul!He hastily cast a spell, trying to form a formation to arrest the soul, but the next moment, in the spirit vision, the old witch's demon soul began to shatter - she was going to explode herself!

Yun Congfeng had no choice but to change his hand gesture and change the name of arrest to town.The mighty spiritual power collided, the old witch's eyes popped out, her mouth was panting "hehe", her body also arched, fighting against Yun Congfeng's suppression.

However, the accumulated power of the dying man was no match for Yun Congfeng's solid strength, so he was forcibly suppressed.The corpse threw itself back, and there was a sound of "Peng", like a balloon being crushed by a foot, blood gurgled under the body, and spread quickly.

"**" Yun Congfeng couldn't help but swear, the thing he was worried about happened, and his tm success fell short.After running around for so long, she just committed suicide like this—and deserved it? !It's really a shame not to go to jail for a few days.

Yun Congfeng held back his anger, he endured it again and again, and turned around to tidy up the bottles and jars. Someone outside was poking his head out to watch the fun, Yun Congfeng turned his head and stared, and immediately rushed away.

The little beggar's lower body hasn't recovered yet, Yun Congfeng thought about it, and carried him on his back: "I'm going to the government to report the case, it's inconvenient to leave you here alone."

The little beggar said oh, and obediently lay on his stomach.

Yun Congfeng first found the nearby Jinwu Guards, asked them to take care of the scene, and then went to the Qingping Division to inform his superiors with the little beggar on his back.

The little beggar's lower body that has not fully recovered is also one of the strong evidences.

Out of various considerations, Yun Congfeng did not say what he was interrogating, but only said that as soon as the old hag was caught, she immediately committed suicide in fear of guilt and blamed herself. , ordered him to write the report, deal with the funeral, and prepare to close the case.

"Just stay here for a while." Yun Congfeng put the little beggar on his desk: "Don't move the books on this table, I'll be back in a while."

The little beggar said: "Okay." Watching Yun Congfeng go away, looking left and right, feeling sleepy again, he fell down on the table and fell asleep.
