Holy Monk, your benefactor is dead!

"Knock, knock..." Li Yun wanted to say more, but there was a rhythmic knock on the door. It was obvious that the old Caitou had brought him over. Li Yun had no choice but to swallow the unfinished words in his mouth. The scarf was pulled up again to cover the mouth and nose, and then he signaled Lao Cai to come in.

"Enter."

Hearing Li Yun's answer, Lao Cai opened the door and led the seven people behind him in.He bowed to Li Yun and introduced, "These people are all willing to sign the death contract. If you have any needs, please feel free to ask."

Li Yun nodded towards Lao Cai, glanced at the seven people, and his indifferent tone seemed to be frosty.

"Those who haven't bathed in seven days take a step back."

"Those who don't want to leave Beijing take a step back."

"Those with family members take a step back."

"Those who are greedy for life and afraid of death take a step back."

Hearing the words, the seven people looked at each other, hesitated a little, and struggled, but in the end someone opened the door, and the seven people retreated instantly, leaving only a boy who was about fourteen or fifteen years old and a boy with yellow skin and blind eyes. God's middle-aged man.

And that young man's complexion was pale, as thin as a bamboo pole, he bit his lower lip lightly, his sleeves that were shortened by a section exposed his red arms from the cold, his hands were tightly twisting the corners of his clothes, as if he was struggling.

"What do you two want?"

"Not at all." The middle-aged man looked up at Li Yun with misty eyes, feeling weak.

"I, I... I have a request, bring my younger brother." The young man hesitated for a moment, and finally said it through gritted teeth, but after he finished speaking, his expression began to become desperate. Against the backdrop of the man next to him, he had no chance of winning at all.

Li Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, walked in front of the young man, lowered his head slightly, "I remember I said that those who have family members take a step back, and I will reject the request."

The boy looked up at Li Yun desperately but stubbornly. He opened his mouth to refute, but was pulled down behind him by Lao Cai, who was beside him, and he bowed several times to Li Yun. Bowing, he said with an apologetic smile: "I disturbed the distinguished guests. This kid is ignorant. I will apologize to the two distinguished guests on his behalf. I hope the distinguished guests will forgive me."

"No problem." Li Yun waved his hand and took a few steps back boringly.

"My lord, it's settled. This person sells himself for 42 taels of silver. The two taels are considered as an apology to the two distinguished guests for this kid. Do you think it is feasible?"

"Uncle Cai, how can it be..." Hearing that, the young boy immediately became anxious, reached out and grabbed Lao Caitou's arm, trying to argue for a few words, but Lao Caitou covered his mouth with his hand instantly.

Old Caitou looked thin and thin, but he was extremely powerful. Under his restraint, the young man couldn't break free at all.

"Old Caitou, we are not vicious people, it is not a collision, just let him go." Li Yun looked at the young man who was restrained but stared into his eyes, and waved his hand indifferently He didn't say anything until Lao Cai let go of him.

"It's not that I don't choose you, it's just that my actions are extremely dangerous. If I'm not careful, I will lose my life. I've heard what you said, and I think your parents and brothers are all dead. If something happens to you, even your younger brother will die." where?"

"I, my younger brother is dying, what can I do, what can I do! Wuwuwuwu..." The young man was stunned when he heard the words, but after all, he was only a young man. After hearing that Li Yun refused, he slapped his butt Sitting there, covering his face and crying bitterly.

Li Yun looked at the boy helplessly, and turned his head towards Lao Cai.

"This kid is also a poor man. Their family has been driving chariots for generations, and they have been good at it for generations. Unfortunately, misfortunes never come singly. A few days ago, his father ran over a nobleman with a cart, and was dragged to death by the nobleman tied behind the carriage. His mother couldn't bear it." They were beaten and hanged, and the two brothers were left behind. The clan bullied them and drove them out. Two days ago, his younger brother fell ill again, and the younger one was watching them grow up. I couldn't bear it, so I took them in, this little one is also a stubborn one, he decided to sell himself, thinking that the distinguished guests need some help, so we had no choice but to bring him here too."

"what name?"

"Yuan Wu."

Li Yun looked back and forth between the two, and was about to speak, when his peripheral vision suddenly fell on Jing Yan, who was sitting silently aside, he pondered for a while, then simply moved away, and handed over the choice to Jing Yan. Net Yan.

"Little monk, who do you choose?"

"Me? This..." Jing Yan was taken aback for a moment, then stood up, put down the cold teacup in his hand, and looked at the two of them in embarrassment. After a while, he hesitated and stretched out his hand, pointing at the Yuan Wu, who was sitting on the ground sobbing softly, was full of uncertainty in his tone, "Benefactor, is it possible for the little monk to choose him?"

"you sure?"

"Is it okay?" Jing Yan looked at Li Yun with some anxiety, he didn't know much about these things.

"Of course you can. Your money is naturally up to you." Li Yun spread his hands indifferently, expressing that he didn't care. The middle-aged man who was standing there silently and bowed his head, after hearing Jing Yan's answer, Slightly raised his head to glance at him, then quickly lowered his head, perfectly covering up the flash of murderous intent in his eyes.

"Here, the little monk has no money." Jing Yan felt a little embarrassed when he heard the words. As a monk, he had never touched yellow and white things.

"how much is it?"

When Old Caitou heard the words, he was overjoyed at first, but then he said hesitantly, "My lord, if you buy this kid, you have to take his brother with you, otherwise this kid won't agree to it even if he dies."

"Well, I know."

"A total of 23 silver."

Li Yun took out a kit from his sleeve pocket, took out six silver nudes from it, put five on the table, tied the kit and threw it into Jing Yan's arms, "This is what your senior brother prepared for you. , naturally belongs to you."

"My lord, this is two taels of silver for you." Lao Cai put away the silver on the table, and took out a small scale from the cabinet beside him. After weighing, he took out the change and the contract of sale of the two brothers Yuan Wu. Hands to Li Yun.

"Li Yun took it casually, glanced at it casually, then stuffed the body deed into his arms, and threw the broken silver in his hand to Yuan Wu. Yuan Wu was caught off guard and hurriedly caught the flying broken silver. , I heard Li Yun's voice in doubt.

"I'll give you an hour to get your things ready, take a shower, and change into clean clothes. We will wait for you at Huijufu Inn."

"Yes, yes, I will go right away." Yuan Wu was stunned for a moment, then grinned and clenched the money in his hands, and ran to the outer door with his feet loose.

Seeing Yuan Wu running out in a hurry, Li Yun stopped calling him, and instead handed the five taels of silver left in his hand to Lao Cai, "You also go with me, and clean the clothes for that kid, by the way Take his younger brother to the doctor to have a look, and spend the remaining money as needed. If there is less money, put it first, and I will make it up to you later. We will leave on our own."

"Thank you young master, young master is righteous."

Old Caitou also had a grateful expression on his face, being able to be selected by Brother Yuan Wu was a heartbreak for him. He led the few people who were not selected and retreated.

Li Yun turned his head, looked at Jing Yan who was staring at the kit in his hand, and chuckled under the scarf.The thin lips parted slightly, the meaning is unknown.

At the east gate, the scenery remains the same, bleak and unremarkable.

"Benefactor, I want to..." Jing Yan grabbed Li Yun who was walking forward, and tightly held the kit in his other hand. He said a little embarrassedly, but his eyes unconsciously looked at the side of the road Refugees who sell their children.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

"My Buddha is merciful. Since I have seen it, I can't ignore it."

"Little monk, why don't you make a bet with me?" Li Yun indifferently swept across the refugees on the side of the road, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, people in this world have sufferings and difficulties, joys and sorrows, life and death.Laughing and cursing, joy, resentment and bitterness are all different.

Some people would rather die to protect the calf, some would rather sell their children to save their lives; some would like to save the world, and some would rather stay out of it.

Everything has a cause, and everything has an effect.

I just don't know what is right and what is wrong.

"Buddhas have precepts, monks can't."

"Hehe, it's okay! I should have said that this money belongs to you, so it's up to you to dispose of it. Let's go! I'll wait here." Seeing Jing Yan's embarrassed face, Li Yun suddenly smiled, and he gently Shaking his head, why bother with this.

If you don't hit the south wall and don't look back, how can you know the dangers of the heart without experience.

He stood against the wind, stood where he was, watched Jing Yan walk over, and the clear and soothing Buddhist voice wafted into his ears.

"Amitabha, my Buddha has the virtue of being good at life, you should not do this thing of selling children again, I have a little money, you should take it, so that you can live a good life."

"Thank you master, thank you master..."

"You don't need to thank me, this is what I should do." Jing Yan refused everyone's kneeling thanks, and almost ran to Jing Yan's side in a panic, he really couldn't bear such enthusiasm.

"Let's go!" Li Yun didn't say much, and when Jing Yan walked in, he turned around and left.

"Ah."

"Today, we will stay here overnight, and we will set off tomorrow morning."

"it is good."

In the cold wind, the two gradually drifted away, and the street behind them was also empty.
