Chapter 2319: The child (Part 1) Chapter 2319: The child (Part 1) The child was still hugging song qingxiao’s leg and wailing, completely unaware of the turmoil in the heart of the person in front of him.
“What’s your surna and what’s mine? why don’t we change our nas? Ah Wang? Fortune? Jin Bao … I’ll listen to your orders, mother …”
“How is that possible? How is that possible?”
Such a thought flashed through song Qing’s mind. She couldn’t help but reach out to touch the child’s head.
His spiritual power did not move, and the seal in his body did not show any signs of being broken.
She clearly rembered the first ti she touched miss Zhang’s stomach. When the child kicked into her palm, the feeling of spirit energy slowly seeping out.
“Sothing’s wrong.”
She thought to herself.
If the child in front of him was not Zhang xiaonian’s child, then was it just a coincidence that he was calling her ‘godmother’?
No! Song qingxiao imdiately denied this thought.
There was no such coincidence in the scene.
When the child in front of her called out ‘mother’, it was not as strange and twisted as the voice in the heavenly Dao temple, but it still made her alert.
She narrowed her eyes and her gaze landed on the child’s head, moving up and down his body inch by inch.
He was extrely good at observing people’s expressions. It was as if his long-term wandering life had turned this ticulous observation into an instinct that had been engraved into his bones and blood.
Even if he didn’t have his divine sense, he could still keenly capture the changes in her gaze and ntal state.
The hands that were holding her legs gradually stiffened, and the little face that was pressed against her calves stopped crying.
He noticed that song qingxiao’s aura was different from before, and he could not help but raise his head stiffly.
In the dark, the two of them looked at each other and remained silent for a mont.
“Who are your parents? Where did you co from?” Song qingxiao asked again, but this ti, her tone was much colder and more serious.
my parents died a long ti ago. I was born in shengjing …
Under song qingxiao’s intense gaze, he quickly turned his head away.
“Well, my parents were not bullied to death, but they died of an epidemic.”
Then, he pretended to be calm.
I don’t believe you. If you’re cured, you can ask your neighbors …
This child was young, but he didn’t know what he had experienced, but his guard was unusually high.
He still dared to lie in front of her. Even if she continued to question him, he would probably only make up so lies to deal with her, unless she used so extraordinary ans to force him to confess.
However, no matter how cunning he was, he was still a child. Song qingxiao couldn’t do sothing so unscrupulous. She could only suppress this doubt in her heart for the ti being and prepare to find a way to find out his origin and whether he had any connection with the heavenly Dao temple.
“Do you know Haining County?”
She changed her way of asking.
When the child who was kneeling on the ground and holding her leg heard this, his small face revealed a bit of shock.
“What Haining County? I’ve never heard of it. ”
When he said this, his expression showed a rare sincerity. It was obvious that he was not lying.
Hai ning County was the county she lived in when she first entered the scenario, and it was a thousand miles away from shengjing.
In addition, this County city was not a well-known rich village in the dynasty, and there had never been any famous big shots. It was just one of the thousands of ordinary County cities under the rule of the dynasty.
It was not strange for a young child to not have heard of Haining County.
Thinking of this, song qingxiao asked, ”
“Then have you heard of the flood disaster in recent years?”
After she asked this question, the child’s spirit imdiately rose. He clearly understood.
“That’s for sure,”
He nodded his head vigorously.
in recent years, there hasn’t been a year without disasters. If it’s not a flood, then there’s an earthquake. If it’s not a disaster, then there’s an insect plague. Many people have died in succession.
He counted with his fingers, ”
in the past two to three years, the flood has been terrible. There are many ‘sweet potatoes’ who have escaped to the capital nearby. You have to be careful. They are bad and will snatch your things!
The child clenched his fist.
“They would occupy the houses of so old and weak people and sneak in to take food. Fortunately, I dug a cellar and had a backer. Otherwise, I would have been killed by them.”
When he ntioned the word ‘murder’, his tone was casual, which made song qingxiao frown.
“Why would these people want to kill you?”
“Let’s eat.” He said without a care, ”
“I’m starving, I can eat human flesh too.”
After saying this, he seed to realize that he had said sothing incredible and his whole body began to tremble.
After a while, she leaned over and used her thin face to stick to song Qing’s leg, rubbing it affectionately.
“Mother, don’t eat . I can get you food.”
After he finished speaking, he raised his skinny arm and said proudly, ”
“You see, I only have bones left, not much at. I usually go to the East District to make a living, and if I’m lucky, I can get a lot of food.” He was afraid that song qingxiao would not believe him.
“There are so rich people in the east side who love to watch us make fun of each other. One ti, they gave a lot of money just for to bark like a dog! I bought a big bag of corn, gave a portion to big brother dog, and secretly hid so for myself …”
The child gritted his teeth and pointed at the jar behind him.
“I buried it under that head.”
“Mother, don’t eat …”
He rubbed against song Qing’s small leg like a puppy wagging its tail.
Song qingxiao did not get any useful information from the child’s words, but compared to nothing, the child’s actions and words gave her a complicated feeling.
“I don’t eat people.”
She wasn’t used to being touched by others. Previously, when he hugged her, it was only because he had called her ‘godmother’ that attracted her attention, and she wanted to test if he could remove the seal on her spiritual energy.
After a mont’s pause, she grabbed the child’s arm and pulled him away. She leaned against the corner of the wall.
“Has there been any movent in the heavenly Dao temple in recent years?”
The child was pulled away by her, but he was sensible and did not co over shalessly.
“Heavenly Dao temple? They’ve been recruiting monks in recent years!”
He said with so envy, ”
it’s great to be a monk. You have clothes to wear, a house to live in, and you won’t go hungry anymore. It’s also very glorious in front of the n.
Then, the child’s tone changed.
it’s a pity that they only want children above the age of eight, and they must have a household registration certificate. I don’t have one.
He looked a little distressed.
brother doggy promised that if there are any children of the right age among the ‘sweet potatoes’, he’ll kill one of them and let take over!
“After this is done, I’ll just have to steal so incense money for him from ti to ti,” the child was still rambling on.
Such a young child should be at the ti when his mind was pure, but he could calmly talk about killing, as if he didn’t realize that taking a life was a big deal.
In the darkness, the child’s face was a mixture of innocence and extre despair. The two perfectly combined, forming a cloud of haze that covered his eyes that should have been immaculate.
