Chapter 53
When Xinghun and Xia Liu worked together to forge a two-edged sword, Bai Xue suddenly left the store alone. Bai Aotian's vision is undoubtedly excellent. Xinghun is excellent in all aspects and looks very immature now, but as long as he is properly trained, he will definitely become a young martial arts master. What Bai Xue does now is to use all aspects of strength to cultivate him.
In Bai Xue's opinion, if you don't experience the bloody game of the world, and you don't have the ruthless spirit of being as hard as iron, how can you gain a foothold in the world in the future? To put it bluntly, if you don't have that appetite, but you have to hold on, you may be choked to death. If Star Soul can't meet her requirements, Bai Xue would rather be an ordinary person for life. Of course, Bai Xue knows about the matter of Taishan Tower, and it is clearer and more detailed than Zhang Xun knows, but she does not intend to help.
Even the destruction of the Zhao family, if it were not for Bai Gong's reputation, someone would have found Xinghun long ago. The seemingly peaceful life would have been full of dangers. What she couldn't accept was that Xinghun was merciless in dealing with people and did not have the cruel nature of eliminating the roots. She would rather Xinghun become a powerful minister like a traitor than want him to become a cowardly and kind emperor.
Bai Xue was dressed in a man's outfit, and Bai Jie's robe was like a flag, rising and falling under the bleak breeze. The direction gradually became remote, and was on the edge of Qingshan Town, a poor area that was gradually forgotten. Heaven and hell were like two sides. With rich martial artists, there were naturally poor ordinary people. Although this place was a street, it was better to be a abandoned area. The houses were ragged, the tiles were broken everywhere, the ground was covered with dark soil, and even a odor that was vomiting. Bai Xue's shiny robe formed two extremes with the hell-like environment here.
"Can you be good at this noble young man? I have not eaten for three days. I will definitely be a cow and a horse in the next life to repay your kindness." An old woman in a curved building, when she saw Bai Xue appear, her eyes that were about to die regained her expression. Her pathological and listless look was a little better. Cancan uh picked up the broken bowl in front of her and said quietly with difficulty hesitation.
Canyu Street was originally a very lively street in Qingshan Town, but the spread of a plague gradually turned it into a broken ruin. After the plague, the population of hundreds of people dropped sharply by two-thirds. The young people who survived the illness at least relied on their youth and self-reliance. The most miserable thing is that the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, not only the family was broken, but even themselves were living a life of surviving. It was a good time to have enough food and hunger, and even worse, they would even eat everything they could eat.
There are many places in the Central Plains world, and some people even live more miserable than those in Canyu Street. This is the cruelty and ruthlessness of the world. With the ability and ability, you can live like heaven.
Although it was Bai Xue's first time to set foot here, she quickly adapted. Looking at the woman in front of her with a dull and lifeless look, she hesitated to her decision. What a character the old woman is, she has experienced the ups and downs of the world, and she can survive in a hell like Canyu Street until now. Both her vision and her character will not be inferior to Bai Xue. When Bai Xue squatted down, she saw the identity of the other woman.
"This girl, are you doing something? If it has something to do with the concubine, just speak up!"
"Old mom, I need you to do something, but this thing will make you die. If you help me, I can fulfill your wish and help you do something."
The old woman was a little surprised after hearing this. A pretty woman like Bai Xue, and her identity and clothes are so noble, would actually talk to her so frankly, although her meaning is related to her life. If it were someone else, she would take the life with disagreement, but instead was being cleaned up. After all, the life of those living in Canyu Street is the most despicable thing. Feeling the sincerity in Bai Xue's eyes, the old woman's dirty face covered in soil nodded.
"Yes, it's better to die than torture here every day. Girl, just tell me if you have anything to do!"
"My son is too kind and does not recognize the cruelty of the Central Plains world at all. I think he killed you with his own hands and let him feel the cruel laws of the Central Plains world. Of course, I will not ask you for help in vain. You can just raise any requests you have."
The old woman was silent for a long time, as if she was thinking, but she did not hesitate. Because in her world, there was no fear of death, but rather a memory of the once-canyu Street and a harmonious family. As she herself said, instead of living in such a stalemate, it would be better to die cleanly, and maybe she could see her husband, son, daughter-in-law and grandson again.
"Girl, wouldn't you definitely be cruel to your young master if you make decisions without permission?"
"The more you cut the flesh with a blunt knife, the more you cut it, the more you feel. Instead of letting him suffer a great loss in the future, it is better to cut the mess with a quick knife and let him suffer such pain first."
The old woman agreed without any hesitation.
"Old mother, since you have helped me, I will complete your conditions. You can tell me it. As long as I am within my ability, I can do it for you."
Although he had already had an answer in his heart, Bai Xue still felt a little reluctant. After all, this old woman was living such a miserable life, and she had to let her bear the pain of death. She felt the death killed by a warrior throughout the whole process. Without a hard heart, she could not bear this process at all. It was precisely because she knew such pain that Bai Xue was so hesitant just now. Compared to the methods of demons torture her body, Bai Xue's torture came from the spiritual level.
"Hey—" the old woman sighed with emotion in life, shook her head with regret, and spoke in disappointment.
"I am already in a state of nowhere to be loved by me. I just think it's just doing a good thing before I die. I don't have any wishes. If I have to say there is, I want to meet the people in my family, but they have all died in the plague before me."
Bai Xue felt even more guilty when she heard such words. Seeing this, the old woman knew in her heart that if she had no requests, she would instead make the girl fall into moral self-blame. Her eyes were the windows of the soul, and the expression of emotions in her eyes could not be concealed no matter what. After all, she was born in a scholarly family, so she still had this kind of vision.
"Girl, if you really want to help me, just pretend I beg you to help the old people on Canyu Street!"
Bai Xue nodded with a firm look, then seemed to remember something, and said with an apology: "Old mother, don't you want to meet your family? My young master has three days to come out of seclusion, and I will be your daughter in these three days. I will give you the greatest happiness in these three days."
The old woman's spirit was shocked in vain, staring at Bai Xue with her eyes fixed on Bai Xue, as firm as a searchlight, and her eyes looked at Bai Xue back and forth. She had never felt shocked before. Unexpectedly, before she died, God gave her such surprise, and even felt incredible. Bai Xue's bright eyes looked at the old woman, and she also saw the joy in her eyes. The happy expression was obviously self-evident.
He did what he said, regardless of the dirty old woman's body, his white and tender hands were as white as snow-like, and he directly stretched out to support the ragged old man.
"Mother, my name is Baixue, you can call me Xueer directly."
"Okay-Okay-Okay, good daughter" shows the excitement in the old woman's heart at this moment. The silence in her eyes had long disappeared, and the old woman had shined with the bright color of life. Her eyes had never left Bai Xue since the beginning. As she said, Bai Xue's behavior had already made her get the greatest happiness before she died. For three days, Bai Xue had been serving the old woman, more considerate and in place than her biological daughter. Whether it was taking a bath, eating, or walking, Bai Xue served diligently like a shadow, never leaving for more than a cup of tea.
The old woman smiled every moment, and that happy look made her recall the happy days before.
Of course, Xinghun would not know what Bai Xue did outside. At this moment, he and Xia Liu had entered the critical moment of forging. Compared to Xia Liu, who continuously output internal energy and used the iron palm, Xinghun's fatigue level could only be doubled. If it were better to say something in the Xuan Iron Sect, after all, relying on the advantage of large people, they would not have worked so hard, and at least they had the candidates to replace them.
And now?
The two of them had not closed their eyes for three days and three nights. The continuous consumption made their faces look a little sluggish.
Xia Liu was better, after all, his personality was crazy, and this continuous loss inspired his competitive spirit. It was like a martial arts competition, which made him enjoy it. Instead, Star Soul, with a look of indulgence, repeated his work like mechanical movements. Adding firewood and pulling the bellow, the loneliness of two hours had already made him feel a little overwhelmed.
Under the scorching fire, the flint that was originally the size of a millstone was gradually burned and turned red. Xia Liu took out a pair of characteristic fire tongs, took out the flint in the flame, and placed it on the iron grinding plate. The continuous internal force consumption made him sit cross-legged and recover immediately, and the Star Soul would do the things that remove impurities.
Sure enough, Xinghun understood Xia Liu in seconds, threw all the firewood he held in his hands into the stove, and immediately came to the iron table. There was a one-meter tungsten hammer next to it, and Xinghun picked it up without any movement. If it were placed in the past, he would still have some difficulty. Since entering the early stage of the Warrior Realm, the powerful power of ancient martial arts has caused the heart to drive the vigorous qi and blood in the whole body, and the expanded qi and blood have also caused the expansion of tendons and veins, which has doubled his strength.
