Chapter 90: Jiang Lao San escapes death
"Don't talk about the orphanage, understand?"
Sitting on the train heading back to Yushenmen, Lu Xiaofeng glared at me and snorted.
Thinking of that orphanage, I couldn't help but smile. Of course, I wasn't laughing at Lu Xiaofeng, but I felt a warm feeling in my heart.
It turned out that this girl was an orphan. The director of the orphanage told me that this girl had a serious illness when she was born. Maybe her family had no money to treat the illness, or they simply didn't want to raise this child, so they abandoned her. The director took her back to the orphanage and found a doctor for her, but they couldn't find out what the specific illness was.
When she was ten years old, someone suddenly came. According to the description of the dean, it should be Senior Sister Shangguan Xian. Senior Sister told the old man that she could cure Lu Xiaofeng's disease, but he had to take her away.
Ten-year-old Lu Xiaofeng was already very sensible and understood a lot of things. She didn't want to burden the director anymore. The orphanage had no financial resources and was supporting dozens of other orphans. She didn't want the director to worry about her anymore. So she left with Shangguan Xian without any hesitation.
Although the dean was reluctant, he did not stop it because he really did not have the ability to pay for Lu Xiaofeng's medical expenses, and the doctor also said that he could not be cured. Perhaps if he handed it over to Shangguan Xian, he could really cure Lu Xiaofeng's illness.
Lu Xiaofeng looked like she was only 11 or 12 years old, but she was actually 16 years old. The strange disease she had prevented her from growing up, but her physical abilities were far inferior to those of ordinary people. Even a common cold could bring her to the brink of death.
Four years after being taken away, Lu Xiaofeng suddenly came back. Not only did she recover from her illness, but she also brought back a lot of money. The dean said that Lu Xiaofeng told her that the family that took her away was very rich, and that she had learned a lot of knowledge and could make money on her own. Although the dean had some doubts, he did not reject Lu Xiaofeng's kindness.
Since then, Lu Xiaofeng would return to the orphanage once in a while to visit the director and the children in the orphanage, and would also bring money.
Of course I didn't tell the dean, Mr. Lu Xiaofeng, the truth about his situation. That lie was so well-intentioned that I couldn't bear to expose it.
"Okay, I get it. Who can I tell? I can count my friends on one hand. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone even to Qiqi when I get back."
I laughed.
"Humph, you're calling me so affectionately, but weren't you a hundred percent unwilling at first?"
She snorted and glanced at me with contempt in her eyes.
"Little girl, what do you know? You don't understand adult matters."
I said this in a senior-minded manner.
Although this mission only took a few days, it was like going through a series of close calls. Back at Yushenmen, Lu Xiaofeng went to report the situation to her master, and I also rushed back to Qingyuyuan.
As soon as I arrived at the gate, I heard Kiki's voice.
"Xiao Min, Xiao Min, come and see, the little fish are fighting for food."
I walked into the yard and saw Qiqi squatting in the pavilion, staring at the small pond with a look of curiosity on her face. Xiaomin came out of the house and saw me.
"Ye Yun."
Hearing Xiao Min's shout, Qiqi also looked up. With a look of surprise on her face, she ran over from the pavilion, shook my arm, and asked, "Ye Yun, Ye Yun, where did you go? Why didn't you take me with you?"
This girl was the same age as me, not much shorter than me, but she shook my arm like a little girl. I shook my head helplessly and said, "What the hell, I almost lost my life."
"Yarn? Lost your life?"
Qiqi stared at me strangely , as if she didn't understand what I said.
"Miss Qiqi, Ye Yunkai is just joking. He is out on a job, just like your Third Master, who often has to go out on a job."
Xiao Min walked over and said.
"oh."
Qiqi responded and suddenly pulled me to run towards the pavilion, saying as she ran: "Ye Yun, come and see, those little fish are fighting for food."
After a day of driving and climbing all the way up from the foot of the mountain, to be honest, I really wanted to take a bath and have a good sleep. But this girl was so interested, I couldn't bear to spoil her fun. When we got to the pavilion, she squatted by the pond again, staring into the water.
"Be careful, don't get too close."
I reminded her, but she didn't listen. I had no choice but to squat beside her and look into the water. Sure enough, there was a group of small fish fighting for food.
"Oh, Xiaodoudou didn't get any food."
The girl pointed to a very small fish and said.
Little Bean?
"That's the name Miss Qiqi gave to the little fish."
Xiao Min said while standing behind.
I was speechless.
Xiao Min prepared dinner, and after dinner, Qiqi went to bed quickly. She went to bed early and got up early, what a good child.
I was also preparing to go back to my room to take a nap, but Xiao Min called me out of the house. When we got to the pond, she stopped and said, "Third Master seems to have had an accident."
Something happened to Jiang Laosan?
I couldn't help but remember that he had said that he was going to carry out a mission that would put him at risk of death. I asked in shock, "Is Jiang Laosan dead?"
Xiao Min shook her head and said, "I don't know. Originally, the Third Master and I communicated using the language spirit technique."
I know this spiritual language spell. It is a spell used for communication. Both parties must have had contact before, and need to use the same seal, the same amount of spiritual power, combined into the same array, and use external objects of the same material, like talismans, to communicate in real time.
"When I was contacting Third Master the day before yesterday, the language and spiritual arts suddenly broke down, and I could no longer sense Third Master's language and spiritual arts. Under normal circumstances, even if the language and spiritual arts are broken, the other party will not lose the sense of it. Unless..."
"Unless the other person is dead?"
I asked with a frown.
Xiao Min nodded, unable to hide the worry on her face.
"Does Qiqi know?"
I asked.
She shook her head and said, "I didn't tell her. But when we left Magnolia Valley, Third Master promised Miss Qiqi that he would come to see her often. If Third Master didn't come for a long time, Miss Qiqi would definitely be worried."
Jiang Laosan had told me before that the mission he was carrying out was a life-threatening one, so why did he agree to Qiqi's request? It seemed that he did it just to let Qiqi leave Magnolia Valley with peace of mind.
"Maybe Jiang Laosan is in trouble. Don't worry too much."
Although I comforted her like this, I knew in my heart that Jiang Lao San was probably in danger of death. I don't know where the old master is now, and I don't know if he knows what Jiang Lao San is doing.
And now I have lost a soul, which makes me feel overwhelmed.
"Ye Yun, go and have a rest first. You must be tired from carrying out missions outside these days."
Not only was he tired, he almost lost his life, but his soul was also taken away by the old eunuch, the Night Ghost.
