Chapter 52 You are a good man

"take it easy."

Yuan Tong was the first to speak, with a faint smile on his face: "I just happened to be passing by."

Nightingale's face was covered with frost and she didn't speak.

Luo Qingfeng's wrists touched each other through her sleeves, and he could clearly feel her trembling.

There is fear and there is anger.

Yuan Tong explained: "There will be a task in a few days. Yuan Fang told me about it. I think you should be interested in participating, so I came to inform you."

Nightingale said coldly: "I'm not interested."

Yuan Tong smiled faintly and said: "Listen to me first. This mission is to eliminate demons in the Great Buddhist Temple in the west of the city. Although the Great Buddhist Temple has long since declined and there are not many monks in it, it still has some background. , and the abbot Yunhai inside also has some relationship with Kyoto. They are willing to give 50 taels of silver and a golden lotus under the Buddha to reward the demon slayer."

When Nightingale heard "50 taels of silver", her expression did not change, but when she heard "Golden Lotus under the Buddha", her body suddenly trembled.

Yuan Tong clearly caught her reaction and said with a smile on his face: "I heard that you are asking people everywhere in the academy for medicine for your sister, and among them is the medicine of Buddha's Golden Lotus. This medicine is not simple, you should know , even if you have money, you may not be able to encounter it. This time one suddenly appeared in the Great Buddha Temple, and this task is just right for you, so I came to inform you. As for whether to go or not, you decide for yourself."

After speaking, he was ready to leave.

Nightingale lowered her head, her expression changing.

After he walked a certain distance, Nightingale suddenly looked up and asked, "Has the team been decided?"

Yuan Tong stopped and said, "Yuan Fang has already received it."

According to the rules of the academy, as long as one team has claimed any posted task, other teams will not be able to claim it.

Yuan Tong suddenly smiled again and said: "Yuan Fang said that you can join his team at any time. There are still two days, you can think about it first."

After speaking, he smiled and left.

Nightingale watched his back walk away, and after standing at the entrance of the alley for a long time, she lifted her steps and walked into the alley.

"I'm not going."

She said this as if she was speaking to the people behind her, and also as if she was speaking to herself.

Luo Qingfeng could feel her conflicting emotions, hesitated for a moment, and asked carefully: "Ah Ya...what happened to her?"

Nightingale was silent for a moment and said, "Didn't you see? She can't speak."

Luo Qingfeng said: "Is this it?"

As soon as he said this, Nightingale stopped, looked at him and said, "What do you mean?"

Seeing that her expression was not good, Luo Qingfeng hesitated for a moment and then said: "I think if it's just that I can't speak and there are no other problems, actually..."

"Doesn't it actually require treatment?"

Nightingale looked at him as if she were a child: "Do you know what being mute for the rest of her life means to her?"

Luo Qingfeng fell silent.

Nightingale turned her head and looked forward, as if she didn't want him to see the emotions on her face.

"No one knows how painful and inferior she is. She doesn't dare to go out to play, can't go out to communicate with others, and can't go out to do anything. Everyone sees her in a different way. She has been living in In such a shadow."

Her voice became choked: "I know that she really wants to speak, even if it means saying a word... I cannot and will never let her stay like this for the rest of her life... She will get married in the future, and she will have to When she gets married, if she is mute, who will want her in the future? Others will look down on her and bully her... Even if they bully her, she can't speak out or cry..."

At this point, she was choked with sobs and could no longer continue.

"Sorry……"

Luo Qingfeng apologized in a low voice.

In fact, he didn't mean that. He just wanted her not to be too anxious and not always thinking about sacrificing herself.

Indeed, even in his world, people who can't speak will receive a lot of bad treatment, and life is not easy, let alone in this world.

Nightingale turned her back to him and wiped away her tears, and continued walking forward. Her voice had regained its calmness: "Let's go, don't talk anymore. I'm going to celebrate you tonight, so let's not talk about these things."

Luo Qingfeng followed behind with mixed emotions.

at the same time.

Yuan Tong walked into a mansion.

A tall young man immediately came over and asked in a low voice: "Dad, what's the matter? Has she agreed?"

Yuan Tong went directly into the living room and sat down on the chair.

The maid immediately brought tea.

Yuan Tong picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said calmly: "She will definitely agree. For the sake of her sister, she can't let go of this opportunity. And I didn't make any more excessive demands. How could she?" What if you don’t agree? It’s just..."

At this point, he sneered: "It's just that the boy was there at the time, and she still couldn't let go of her dignity. After the boy leaves, she will think about it for a night, and she will naturally come to you."

Yuan Fang whispered: "When the time comes, will the child take her to her father?"

Yuan Tong waved his hand and said: "No rush, let's take her to do the task first and get the Buddha's Spirit Mushroom. Then... hmph, I can't just handle her casually. A little girl who smells like milk and has no background." It’s just that you dare to reject me again and again, and when the time comes, you will be submissive to your training.”

Yuan Fang was a little puzzled and said in a low voice: "Dad, that girl is indeed the best, but it shouldn't be worth all the effort that Daddy has put into himself, right? Is it that..."

Yuan Tong's face darkened: "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask. I will tell you what you should know."

Yuan Fang quickly lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, dad, I will definitely get that girl."

Yuan Tong lowered his head to sip his tea and said no more.

Night falls.

In the red leaf alley, smoke curls up from cooking pots.

A certain small courtyard.

Luo Qingfeng was chopping firewood with an axe.

The old man sat in the corridor and closed his eyes to relax.

In the kitchen, Ah Ya was filling up the firewood and Nightingale was frying vegetables.

"Crack! Kick!"

Luo Qingfeng rounded the ax head, and every time he made a chop, he aimed at the middle part of the wood block. One axe, two halves, equal in thickness and thickness, exactly.

"It's a pity that I don't have sword skills..."

He felt secretly regretful.Although the Demon Slayer on his body was rusty and full of gaps, it still seemed to be quite powerful. The wounds it caused seemed to be unable to heal quickly, and it also had serious injury effects and continued to bleed.

If it is used to kill demons, it will get twice the result with half the effort.

The academy should have many techniques, but it is said that you need merit points to exchange for them.

He definitely can't practice now.

"Crack!"

Another piece of wood was split accurately, and he suddenly thought of the red ball in the ocean inside his body.

After advancing to the three-star realm of Kaitian last time, the "Scarlet Thorn" technique suddenly appeared.

After practice, the effect is very good.

I don’t know if I still have the skills after being promoted to two levels this time.

He decided to try it when he went back tonight.

Not long after, dinner was ready.

Luo Qingfeng put down the ax, washed his hands, and helped serve the dishes.

Nightingale had something on her mind and seemed to be in a daze all night, and almost fell down while serving the food.

Luo Qingfeng saw it and said nothing.

During the meal, Nightingale was also taciturn, only occasionally forcing out a smile to adjust the atmosphere.

The meal was a bit depressing.

After finishing the meal, Luo Qingfeng said goodbye and left.

Nightingale sent him to the entrance of the alley, her lips moved, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything. She just pretended to be relaxed and said: "Go back and rest early, I have to go back to sleep."

The moonlight was like water, falling on her tall and graceful figure.

Her cheeks were hidden in the shadows of the alley, and her expression could not be seen clearly.

"Ah."

Luo Qingfeng nodded, turned and left.

Nightingale stood at the entrance of the alley, watching his back gradually go away. After standing for a long time, she turned around and went back.

Luo Qingfeng walked on the street for a while and went directly to the Guanyin Temple.

Not long after, a slender and petite figure walked in from the door, looking at him blankly.

She was just serving food in the kitchen, and when the nightingale went out, the girl wrote one word on a blackened branch: Temple.

My sister was distracted all night. As a sister who gets along day and night, how could she not notice it?

Luo Qingfeng knew what she was going to ask.

In fact, even if the girl didn't take the initiative to look for him, he would still look for her.

"Your sister was threatened."

"The other party gave you medicine to treat your illness and threatened your sister to join the other party's team. That person has evil intentions towards your sister..."

Luo Qingfeng briefly explained the matter.

The natural look on Ah Ya's face gradually turned into the cold face he had when he was killing demons outside the town.

After Luo Qingfeng finished speaking, he let her digest for a while, and then said: "So, I decided to go to the Great Buddha Temple first and get the golden lotus under the Buddha one step ahead, and then find a way to kill it first. For father and son, get rid of this scourge once and for all.”

His tone was calm and natural, as if he was talking about a very ordinary and trivial matter.

Ah Ya looked at him in shock.

Luo Qingfeng added: "But I'm not strong enough, so I need your help. Ah Ya, your sister has silently sacrificed a lot for you. This action requires a lot of courage and courage, and may even lead to death. You Will you help me?"

Ah Ya was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately, like a chicken pecking at rice, nodding non-stop.

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Luo Qingfeng stretched out his palm and saw that she was stunned for a moment, so he had to take it back and said: "When your sister leaves tomorrow morning, I will come find you and we will go to the Great Buddha Temple together. Regardless of whether it is successful or not, remember, you cannot Let your sister join that bad guy’s team, you know?”

Ah Ya nodded again like a chicken pecking at rice.

Luo Qingfeng glanced outside and said, "Okay, go back quickly, don't let your sister find out."

Ah Ya was about to leave when she suddenly looked at him again.

"what happened?"

Luo Qingfeng said doubtfully.

Ah Ya lowered his head slightly, as if he was struggling with something.

After a while.

She raised her head again, then took out a piece of silver from her arms and handed it to him.

Luo Qingfeng was stunned and said quickly: "You gave it to me last night, but I haven't used it yet."

Ah Ya couldn't help but stuff the money into the clothes on his chest, then turned around and left quickly.

Just after taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped again, looked around, found a stone from the ground, then walked to the dirt next to her, squatted down and wrote something on the ground with a serious look on her face.

After finishing writing, she immediately threw down the stones, got up and left quickly.

Luo Qingfeng was curious, took out the silver from his chest, walked over, and looked down at the ground.

Two lines of ugly words were written crookedly on the ground.

"You are a good person……"

"I like...to lend you...the iron..."

Luo Qingfeng's mouth twitched: Tiezi?

Taking a closer look, it seems that it should be "silver", but it seems that I can't write the word "silver". There are a few random strokes next to the word "iron", which looks like "iron"...
