I played the world alone

Chapter 470 Eternal Night (Two in One)

Unexpectedly, people from the Shi family would intervene, and the officers and soldiers couldn't help but hesitate.

"I'm afraid, Miss, this is against the rules..." The leading officer hesitated for a moment, then clasped his fists and said cautiously.

"Is there anything against the rules? My young lady is kind-hearted and I can't bear to see you using your power to bully others. Only one of you can be saved."

The maid didn't give him any face, and immediately put her hands on her hips and shouted rather coquettishly.

"Our Shi family has saved so many people by giving soup outside, and now we don't have more than these three."

Several officers and soldiers cursed secretly in their hearts, but in the end they still dared not to give face to each other.

After all, they are just three refugees. Anyway, as long as they don't wander around the city and be seen by Mr. Yu, there is no need to go against the Shi family for their sake.

Although the Shi family is definitely not as powerful as the governor, it is still considered a prestigious scholarly family in this city and should not be easily provoked.

After thinking about it, they chose to take a step back instead of gritting their teeth and persisting.

"Now that Miss Shi has spoken, we naturally have to show some respect. These three people will be handed over to the Shi family for good discipline."

After saying that, he glared at the three of them: "You're lucky, I'd better not let me see you again next time!"

After saying that, he put away the blade and turned around to leave.

Qingfeng Mingyue was stunned on the spot, still a little unresponsive, and then she heard the maid shouting: "Hey you three, why are you still standing there, why don't you come over quickly? What idiots..."

"Be careful when those officers and soldiers leave and come back, I will arrest you!"

She deliberately scared, but Qingfeng Mingyue was not scared.

Although the two of them looked very nervous just now, they were actually very confident, all because they had the support of the old gods behind them.

But just when they were hesitating whether to go over or not, the old god who was being protected behind them suddenly spoke.

"Girl, you don't mind if we are dirty and smelly. If we come near, we might dirty your carriage?"

The maid was stunned for a moment, and then she noticed that the clothes on the three of them were in tatters, and they seemed to have not taken a shower for a long time. She could smell a stench from a distance, and she couldn't help but hesitate.

At this time, another rather clear female voice came from the carriage behind: "It doesn't matter, let them come over. Didn't we see a lot of them when we were giving porridge outside the city just now?"

Then he shouted again: "Old man, you and your grandson may not know this when you are new here, but you must not run around in this city. If you are caught by the officers and soldiers like just now, you will be beaten and driven out of the city. Go, or else you'll be put in jail."

"Why don't you just follow us first so that you can fill your stomach, or I can change your clothes so that you don't get noticed by the officers and soldiers."

When the maid heard the lady's generous words, she couldn't help but persuade her: "Miss, wouldn't this be good..."

Saving their lives is already a kind act, so why bother going to this extent?

The young lady explained with a bit of helplessness: "Since I have already helped, it is better to do the good thing to the end, otherwise they will probably have a lot of trouble in the future, and the help will be in vain."

"Xiaohong, no need to say more, just bring them over quickly."

The maid named Xiaohong was a little reluctant, but because of the young lady's instructions, she pouted and took a few steps forward in disgust, motioning for them to follow.

"come on."

Qingfeng Mingyue looked at the old god and saw the old god walking over with a smile, so the two of them followed him.

However, it was not that they were asked to get on the carriage, but it turned out that there were several donkey-pulled carts following behind. They were obviously empty buckets and a few servants who had been brought back after serving porridge.

The three of them were placed here by the maid holding her nose.

"You three just sit here, and I will give you some food and clean clothes after we return to the house. Remember, this is the kindness of the young lady. You must think of the goodwill of the young lady every day, do you understand?"

The maid gave a few instructions angrily, and then returned to the carriage in front of her unbearably.

As for the guys who were traveling with him, they didn't have much distaste. Instead, they politely squeezed in to make room for them, so that they could at least sit more comfortably.

"You are from outside the city, you can tell at a glance, but don't blame those officers and soldiers for guarding them too much."

"After all, there have been too many refugees who have fled recently. Earlier, when the city gates were not so strict, many were let in. As a result, those damn guys committed a lot of things and made people panic. Later, they simply stopped letting the refugees in. .”

"We are lucky. We came here earlier. We sold ourselves into the Shi family because we had no money. Don't worry, although the Shi family is a wealthy family, the owner has a good temper and won't do anything to you... "

After all, Qingfeng Mingyue is still a teenager at heart. After being awkward at first, she quickly became familiar with them and exchanged a lot of information with them.

However, when asked about the purpose of the three of them coming, Qingfeng said bluntly in their doubtful eyes that he and the others were not here to beg for food, but to slay demons.

He held his head high when he spoke, looking very proud.

Several of the surrounding servants were obviously stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

"Just... just you three?"

"Destroy demons?!"

As if they heard some outrageous joke, they laughed while repeating their words.

Qingfeng Mingyue felt that she had been underestimated and wanted to defend herself, but thinking of the old god's previous instructions, she could only grit her teeth and endure it, not daring to say anything more.

Soon they arrived at the gate of Shi Mansion and everyone started to move things in the car. The maid named Xiao Hong walked over again holding her nose and asked the three of them to follow them to get something to eat.

"Remember, although the young lady is easy to talk to, there are rules in the mansion and you cannot move around casually."

"Hurry up and pack up after you finish eating. It's not too early today. When we go out to give porridge tomorrow, you can go out together. Don't think about staying here forever."

Although the maid was rude in her words, she was still very conscientious. She prepared everything in place and asked the servants nearby to help take care of it.

Otherwise, I'm really afraid that "grandpa" who seems to be in the worst condition will suddenly and inexplicably die here.

That would be too bad luck.

The servants didn't have any objections to this, or they didn't care.

After all, two and a half-year-old boys and an elderly man cannot threaten their status.

But you need to take a shower before eating. Of course they didn't have hot water to take a bath, they just used some clean cold water to rinse them off.

The old god waved his hand and refused, and no one else forced him. After washing, it's time for dinner.

However, looking at the "coarse rice" in front of me, steamed buns and wild vegetables, with almost no meat or fishy taste, I felt a little unaccustomed to the clear breeze and bright moon.

The servant next to him thought that their strange looks were too much surprise, and he laughed, a little teasingly: "How about it, are you too excited to see so many delicious foods after being hungry outside for so long?"

"You are lucky to be able to sneak in and be met by a kind-hearted lady. If you were outside, you might not be able to eat such good food!"

The two brothers couldn't say that they were used to eating immortal food, so they didn't like these. However, in order to maintain their strength and continue to practice spells, and in addition to the painful lessons learned from hunger before, they still ate them all without wasting any of them.

However, they had just finished eating when the servant responsible for taking care of them suddenly touched them with his elbow and pointed not far away.

"Why doesn't your grandpa eat anything? You have to persuade him not to die in the house, otherwise I will be scolded!"

I saw that the old beggar had no intention of eating here at all. Instead, he raised his head and looked around, as if he was observing the sky and then lowered his head and pinched his fingers as if calculating something.

Qingfeng Mingyue shook her head: "He is not our grandfather, he is our master! He is very capable. There must be his intention for not eating. We don't need to worry."

"Why are you guys still talking such nonsense?"

The servants were a little helpless, but after carefully looking at the old man's weird movements, they felt a little weird and felt uncomfortable. They just let themselves rest in this courtyard specially designed for servants to live, and then hurriedly left to work.

At this time, the maid Xiaohong appeared again, holding a few relatively clean clothes in her hand, but they were definitely not luxurious clothes, just common clothes worn by ordinary people.

Xiaohong looked around, a little confused: "Where is the person responsible for watching you? Why did he run away... Forget it, these are the clothes the lady ordered for you, put them on yourself."

Qingfeng Mingyue each changed into clothes. Although the style was a bit too big, it was obviously clothes that some servants did not want. The sleeves were so long that they almost covered their fingers, and the pants were also askew.

But no matter what, the most important first step is finally completed.

Then just send them out.

This time when she delivered the clothes, her expression was finally not as disgusting as before. The two brothers Qingfeng and Mingyue were much cleaner, except for the old beggar who was still the same, but fortunately they were far away, so the problem was not big.

But just when she was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly heard the old beggar shout: "Miss Little Red."

"What's the matter?" She stopped in confusion, and then seemed to have thought of something, with a wary look on her face, "If you want to stay here and work, I advise you to give up."

No matter how kind-hearted the lady is, she cannot do anything.

Looking at the old beggar's ugly face, he heard the other party say: "Your lady does have a kind heart, and good people will be rewarded. As long as I am here, there is no need to worry about monsters and ghosts in this Shi Mansion."

Xiao Hong glanced at him inexplicably, but immediately thought that the other party had heard about the haunting in the house before, so he came here to pretend to be a ghost, hoping to get the right to stay.

Even though he was a little angry: "Okay, you guys, the lady is so kind to save you, but you still dare to talk nonsense here. Go, go, how can you beggars understand such things?"

"If you really mean it, why not say a few auspicious words, and maybe I can reward you with some copper coins."

She put on her condescending look again: "Okay, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you here."

After that, he quickly left here.

After walking far away, you can still hear a cry from behind, which happens to be the voice of the old beggar.

Unexpectedly, the old guy, who looked skinny and weak, and seemed to be dying soon, had such a loud voice that she could hear clearly.

“Remember to close the doors and windows at night and do not open them no matter what is happening outside.”

"Humph!"

Xiaohong was surprised for a moment and then immediately realized that the other party was still pretending to be a ghost here. She immediately raised her chin in disdain. She didn't take it seriously. She just wanted to return to the lady as soon as possible and tell her how outrageous the three people saved today were. Oops.

Moreover, he was full of unlucky words and should have been thrown out as soon as possible!

……

Night falls quickly.

Some of the other servants have been tired for the whole day and plan to take an early rest, while others are still busy, probably preparing for tomorrow's soup kitchen.

But when they were supposed to be relaxing and having nothing to do, Qingfeng Mingyue and Qingfeng Mingyue became more and more nervous.

They all know that tonight is definitely the key moment for the old god to slay demons and demons, and they must not miss it!

So much so that I didn't even continue to practice the spells, for fear that there would be any unnecessary changes and I would miss it.

This may be the only opportunity in your life!

Lu Chen waited patiently for a while and saw dark clouds in the sky. If it weren't for the lanterns shining in the yard, the entire mansion would have turned into darkness.

Even so, many servants had already raised their torches, seeming to wonder why the sky suddenly became so dark.

The moon seemed to disappear out of thin air.

So much so that most of the city fell into "eternal night" in an instant, with only sporadic firelight appearing occasionally, but compared to the entire city, it was a drop in the bucket.

On the other side, in the mansion.

Yu Hongyan was really worried about the performance of those "experts", and he planned to witness the scene where the ghosts were beaten to the point of being beaten to pieces, so he also chose to leave the show in person, standing at the place where those "experts" started the forum. beside!

Whether he was waving flags to cheer or monitoring them, he never took his eyes off these people today.

For example, at this time, in the southeast direction of this open space, a man wearing a Taoist robe was wielding a mahogany sword, as if he was performing some kind of wonderful ritual.

Next to him was another Taoist priest who was still drawing talismans in a quick and easy manner, one after another without stopping.

The monks opposite sat down together to recite sutras, but their words were spoken very fast and sounded unclear. It was unclear what sutras they were reciting and whether there were any mistakes or omissions.

The rest set up an altar and started dancing, but their movements were stiff and their lines had no emotion, just like reading from a script. It looked very weird and gave people a very fake and out-of-place feeling.

"Sir, why don't you go back and rest first? There are little ones watching over here."

The housekeeper came close to Yu Hongyan and whispered a reminder.

Yu Hongyan shook his head and was about to speak when he suddenly heard an exclamation in the distance.
