Chapter 198 Story

There is still half a month left before the Beggars' Gang's Apricot Forest Conference, so everyone's itinerary is not necessarily very fast. However, this mentality of playing all the way has also led to a side effect, that is, they often miss Sutou!

Ling Xiao raised a small fire. This was their third night sleeping in the wild. Unlike before, they found an abandoned and dilapidated temple this time! Fortunately, Li Yingqiong did not come with him, otherwise he would have to make a fuss. The carriage they were riding in is not the luxury version at the beginning, and it would be quite uncomfortable to sleep!

"You don't seem to be in high spirits!" Fo Yin asked curiously.

Ling Xiao looked at Wuqing after hearing this, and snorted coldly, "Some people have too bad gambling! They obviously lost but refused to admit their claim!"

Foyin looked at Wuqing curiously, "Did you make a bet? Why don't I know? Can you still place bets now? I'm the one!"

Ling Xiao rolled his eyes and said, "Why are you joining in the fun!"

Wuqing laughed, and the smile from the pure heart in the fire was particularly gorgeous. He looked at Ling Xiao's slightly dull expression and said, "It's not that my gambling quality is bad, it's that there is no condition to fulfill the bet! We only have one horse, so if we use it to ride, how can we pull a cart?"

Ling Xiao twitched his lips and said depressedly: "You always make sense!"

On the second day after they set off, the pigeons sent by Lingling finally found them. There was no words in the message tube, but only a silver note containing luck!

Ling Xiaodale, this is very obvious! Ling Lingfa not only lent to Wuqingyun, but also sent silver notes to him to join in!

Wuqing obviously underestimated the integrity of Linglingfa’s master and apprentice, and overestimated the position of luck in their hearts! He looked at Ling Xiao with a depressed look and shook the silver note in front of her eyes, pointed to the only horse, and left with arrogance!

Ling Xiao sighed softly and silently turned the fire with the branches. Foyin frowned when he saw this, and thought for a while and said, "I have a story, do you want to listen?"

Ling Xiao boredly said, "Tell me!"

Fo Yin said in a deep voice: "Before the Buddha's disciple Ananda became a monk, he saw a girl on the road and couldn't let go of her love. The Buddha asked him, how much do you love that girl? Ananda replied, I would like to transform into a stone bridge, be blown by five hundred years of wind, five hundred years of sun, and five hundred years of rain! But I hope this girl will walk through the bridge! The Buddha fulfilled his wish, and later Ananda finally got his wish and saw that girl!"

Ling Xiao blinked and said awkwardly: "This story... is a little familiar! By the way, do you want to tell me to persevere in my relationship and to hold on no matter how much resistance I receive?"

"No!" Fo Yin said solemnly: "I want to tell you not to indulge in love on earth, otherwise it will be a tragic life! In the end, like Ananda, I ended up being trampled for thousands of years!"

"Hiss! Your bald donkey's interpretation is a bit weird! But I still have this confidence, even a poor man will eventually make a counterattack! What's more, I believe someone won't let me wait for more than a thousand years!" As he said that, he looked at the ruthless direction!

Fo Yin sighed helplessly, "The donor is already in a dilemma, what should I do?"

"Haha! Whether it's confused or indulging! Just live happily!" Ling Xiao put down the branches in his hand freely, stood up and showed his affection to Wuqing again!

Foyin closed his eyes and recited the scriptures in distress. No one knew what he was thinking!

Late at night, the ruined temple, the fire, there are monks, heroes, beauties, and funny people! These are all the factors that must happen in a TV series, so the story is here!

Just as everyone was about to fall asleep, a sound of some rapid footsteps came into everyone's ears!

"Who is the monster?" Ling Xiao shouted with great momentum!

"Ouch!" The owner of the footsteps seemed to have no time to be on his body. He was frightened by Ling Xiao's loud shout!

Everyone looked at each other and looked towards the temple gate. After a while, an old man in a simple dress rubbed his butt and grinned in! The old man looked around and was startled when he saw the sword in Ling Xiao's hand, and hurriedly said, "This, I just passed by occasionally, without any malicious intentions! Why don't I leave!" As he said that, he was about to give up.

Ling Xiaolei had some good feelings for this old man, and for nothing else, he had just a slight salute and returned to normal after seeing the ruthless beauty! This is not something that anyone can do, at least this person is still a gentleman!

"Don't panic, brother, we are just tourists in the mountains! The world is dangerous, and the sword is just for self-defense. If you don't dislike it, come in and roast the fire!" Ling Xiao nodded and smiled.

The old man nodded happily when he heard this, sat by the fire and looked at everyone and said, "Look at your aura, I guess you are the dragon and phoenix among people. Old Man Lin has disturbed him here!"

Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and said strangely: "I seem to be a little literary when I listen to my brother's conversation! Do you have fame and fortune?"

Old Man Lin shook his head and said with some hope: "I'm going to tell you my brother, I used to be a wealthy family, but my family fell into the current land!"

Ling Xiaoran said, "Why did you go to this wilderness alone?" When he asked this, his hand was actually on the hilt of the sword. The appearance of this person was a bit strange. Ling Xiao was not familiar enough to ignore the possible dangers.

Old Man Lin sighed helplessly, and without answering, instead asked everyone first, "Did you see a little girl along the way?"

Everyone was stunned and shook their heads, "I don't know if this little girl is..."

Old Man Lin smiled bitterly and said depressedly: "It's my daughter, she ran away from home!"

"Run away from home?" Ling Xiaolei said, this rebellious thing can still be encountered in this dynasty, it's really new! He asked again: "Can you tell me the details?" He said that and handed over the pot of wine!

Old Man Lin took the wine and took a sip. Ling Xiao was relieved to see his actions, because if this person really had problems, he would not be careless to drink the wine he gave him!

Maybe Old Man Lin was really suffering too much, and tears began to start in his eyes and said slowly: "I was a big boy, and I was childhood sweetheart with my child, but my family was behind and my in-laws refused to admit it! In desperation, I had to elope with my child to live in a nearby village! In a few years, we gave birth to a lovely daughter!" He said this and took another sip of wine.

Old Man Lin said it very general, but everyone knew that it must contain countless hardships. Two children from aristocratic families who did not work suddenly supported each other in a strange environment and struggled to survive! The pain in it cannot be explained in one word!

"The child's mother can help people sew and mend, while I followed the hunters in the village to learn to hunt and chop wood. Although life is not very rich, I still have a lot of food! But a sudden mountain torrent took the child's mother's life, and I survived with my daughter!" Old Man Lin wiped his tears and continued: "Life is getting harder and I finally barely pulled my daughter up. My daughter became sensible, which saved me a lot of worry! Then one day, my daughter actually appeared in front of me with a large sum of money! That was really a lot of money! Even in the past, I have never seen so much money piled up together!"

"A lot of money? How old is your daughter? How can you get a lot of money!" Ling Xiao suddenly felt that there was something wrong with it, and the premonition that seemed to be extremely painful came again! It was like you were playing games and chatting with NPCs. You knew that the next sentence would trigger a hidden task, but hesitated whether to continue!

Old Man Lin paused and replied, "Yesterday, my daughter just celebrated her twelfth birthday! I also felt that the big money came strangely. I asked her, but she didn't say that our life was so hard! Even though we knew there was something wrong with the money, we still used it! We changed to a big house, bought a lot of beautiful clothes, ate a lot of good things that we had never thought about before, and even helped her mother repair the grave!"

Ling Xiao nodded secretly after hearing this. His wife, who was rich and powerful, was a good man, but she was a good man! "What happened later? Look at my brother's dress now, did he meet a bully! He took your property?"

Old Man Lin shook his head, "Our village is full of simple people, and there are no bullies. I am usually very generous and have a very harmonious relationship with my neighbors!"

"Then you are..."

Old Man Lin smiled bitterly and said, "Everything was fine, but I was actually infected with leprosy!"

"Leprosy!" Everyone was shocked and looked at Old Man Lin carefully. His face was indeed a little pale as if he had just recovered from a serious illness!

"This serious illness came so suddenly that I couldn't even write a suicide note! My daughter was arbitrarily taking charge of selling all her property, clothing, and jewelry! It took almost everything to cure me!" She burst into tears again when she said this.

Ling Xiao frowned slightly, "It's not easy to make such a decision at such a young age!" Leprosy is very difficult to cure in this era. It must have cost a lot of money to cure him!

"We returned to the dilapidated house. I was unable to work anymore. During that period, I could only rely on the help of my fellow villagers! But this was not a long-term solution! Just yesterday, her birthday came! I promised to give her the best rouge in Jinan on her birthday! But now I don't have this money. Not to mention the best rouge, I can't afford even the worst one! She never smiled for the whole day, and I felt ache! She disappeared the next morning and left me a letter saying that she wanted to live a better life!" Old Man Lin sighed and raised the wine pot again, but suddenly found that the wine pot was empty!

"You shouldn't drink so much alcohol after you've recovered from a serious illness! Why are you sure this little girl will take this path?" Ling Xiao said in silence for a while.

Old Man Lin said for granted: "There were rumors a few days ago that the plague in Jinan was rampant, and she knew it, so she would definitely not go that direction!"
