Chapter 343 The middle-aged man under the tree
Liangxi City is a big city. If it is strictly divided, this city is a city under Sanqiya, one of the five major sects. However, Sanqiya is a group of scholars, and the discipline of the city under his command is not as strict as imagined. In addition, Liangxi City is located in a remote location and has reached the boundary of Sanqiya's power, so no one will notice it.
Now the one who decides in Liangxi City is a door.
Yidao Sect is not a Taoist tradition, and it has nothing to do with Taoist art. Their Tao is the way of joy, but there are very few people in this world who can apply the art of dual cultivation to the right path. There is no fundamental difference between Yidao Sect and Wuji Peak.
There are only two fifth-level masters in one sect, and their strength is only medium among many first-class forces and cannot be considered powerful.
But in Liangxi City, a gate is the force that can be said to be a powerful force that can be a one-man rule.
The south of Liangxi City is a rich place, while the north of Liangxi City is a poor place, and the gap between the rich and the poor is very large.
At this moment, in a small yard north of Liangxi City, a teenage girl was walking carefully under a tree in her hand with a lunch box in her hand.
Under the tree was a man, a middle-aged man in gray clothes, with a pale face as gold paper.
Ten days ago, the middle-aged man suddenly came to their house to sit down, without saying a word or leaving, just sitting under the tree without moving. At first, the girl was still a little scared, but as time went by, her courage gradually grew.
He would prepare two meals every day and put them in a food box and hand them to him.
At first, the middle-aged man didn't even look at it, and he didn't eat some until yesterday.
For some reason, the girl felt a little happy, so she specially prepared some delicious food to deliver it today.
The food is very fragrant, even if it is covered with wooden lunch boxes, it cannot cover up the faint fragrance.
The middle-aged man opened his eyes and looked up. The girl was not very beautiful, but she was a little jassic and looked a little weak. Her eyes always seemed to have a timid look.
After ten days, he also knew that the girl was the only one in her family.
The middle-aged man reached out to take the lunch box. After opening it, he found that the meal was very simple, two meats and one vegetable, and one soup.
Although the dishes were simple, he ate them with relish.
The two still didn't say a word. After dinner, the girl put away the lunch box and sat carefully beside the middle-aged man, trying to ask some questions, but no matter what she asked, she would not get an answer, and she was very cold.
The girl was a little disappointed and got up and returned to the house with the food box.
The next day, she continued to deliver food, and it was like this every day afterwards. Over time, she no longer cared about what the middle-aged man said, and got used to it, and she had to sit next to the man and say a lot of things every day.
He talked to himself, as if he wanted to express all the loneliness and hopes of all these years.
She didn't remember how much she had said these days, but she only remembered that there were so many that she couldn't count them clearly.
Although the middle-aged man never spoke, his expression changed from disgust and coldness to the calmness he is now, listening quietly.
He knew that the girl's parents were all dead at the hands of a door, because this girl was the goddess chosen by a door. The so-called goddess actually had no status. To put it bluntly, it was a selected furnace and cauldron for people to play with.
When he was sixteen years old, a person from a door would come here to take him away. After a while, there would be an extra body in the Jinhe River outside the city.
There is still one month left before the girl is sixteen years old.
The girl seemed to know her fate. Every time she said a lot of words, she would silently return to the house. Then the middle-aged man would see a figure by the window holding her knees and crying silently.
She could not escape because a door had a special mark on every selected celestial girl. As long as a celestial girl leaves Liangxi City, she will be sensed and will only die if she is caught.
Everyone in this world has their own destiny. Some are born to be emperors, while others spend their entire lives just to become ordinary people.
Everyone shouts that fate must be changed by themselves, but there are very few people who can change their destiny.
A middle-aged man is not a person who likes to meddle in other people's business, and he doesn't care about the life or death of a girl.
A few more days passed, and the girl did not come back that afternoon, and the middle-aged man closed his eyes and didn't care.
He still didn't come back at night, and the middle-aged man frowned slightly.
It was not until late at night that the girl ran back in a mess, and her face turned into tears. She just entered the middle-aged man's arms and started crying. She said intermittently that an elder's son from a door had taken a fancy to her and wanted her to be his dual-cultivation furnace. If someone hadn't called the elder's son away at the critical moment, she might not have come back tonight.
The middle-aged man still had no expression on his face and placed his hands beside him, as if he had not heard these words at all.
The girl was very timid and fell asleep quickly when she lay on him. Her thin body curled up in a ball, which was very pitiful.
Before dawn, there were rapid footsteps outside the door, and then two young men walked in in a panic, pushed open the door and cursed directly: "Little bitch, I chose you as a furnace and cauldron to see you. Anyway, there are not a thousand or eight hundred in this celestial girl. No one knows if I enjoy it in advance. Do you dare to run away?"
The middle-aged man pressed his hands on the girl's ears and looked up at the two people pushing the door.
The elder son obviously saw his existence, and then a sneered on his face: "I said, how dare this little bitch run away? It turned out that he raised a wild man at home. I warn you that this is the goddess of ours, and that is not something that can be enjoyed by any native chicken and tile dog."
Their arrogance is very arrogant because Liangxi City is the one-man sect of Yidaomen. He is the son of the elder of Yidaomen, so he can cover the sky with one hand.
The middle-aged man looked at him, but there was still no fluctuation in his eyes, and he didn't even say a word.
The two people standing at the door fell to the ground and quietly lost their lives.
The middle-aged man looked down at the girl, then held her back for a moment, then picked her up and placed her gently on the ground, then got up and restrained her two bodies and left here.
All this seemed to have never happened. Until the sky gradually brightened and the sun shone on her body, the girl woke up. She looked a little dazed in the clearing area beside her and her face turned pale. She didn't look for it everywhere, but went back to prepare the meal, carefully returned to the tree and sat quietly, waiting quietly.
Until one day and night after another, the food in the food box had already become cold. The girl held her knees and leaned against the tree, turned her head to look at the paper umbrella on the ground, and kept crying.
