Chapter 2319: The child (Part 1) Chapter 2319: The child (Part 1) The child was still hugging song qingxiaoâs leg and wailing, completely unaware of the turmoil in the heart of the person in front of him.
âWhatâs your surname and whatâs mine? why donât we change our names? Ah Wang? Fortune? Jin Bao ⊠Iâll listen to your orders, mother âŠâ
âHow is that possible? How is that possible?â
Such a thought flashed through song Qingâs mind. She couldnât help but reach out to touch the childâs head.
His spiritual power did not move, and the seal in his body did not show any signs of being broken.
She clearly remembered the first time she touched miss Zhangâs stomach. When the child kicked into her palm, the feeling of spirit energy slowly seeping out.
âSomethingâs wrong.â
She thought to herself.
If the child in front of him was not Zhang xiaonianâs child, then was it just a coincidence that he was calling her âgodmotherâ?
No! Song qingxiao immediately denied this thought.
There was no such coincidence in the scene.
When the child in front of her called out âmotherâ, 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 childâs head, moving up and down his body inch by inch.
He was extremely good at observing peopleâs expressions. It was as if his long-term wandering life had turned this meticulous observation into an instinct that had been engraved into his bones and blood.
Even if he didnât have his divine sense, he could still keenly capture the changes in her gaze and mental 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 qingxiaoâs 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 moment.
âWho are your parents? Where did you come from?â Song qingxiao asked again, but this time, her tone was much colder and more serious.
my parents died a long time ago. I was born in shengjing âŠ
Under song qingxiaoâs intense gaze, he quickly turned his head away.
âWell, my parents were not bullied to death, but they died of an epidemic.â
Then, he pretended to be calm.
I donât believe you. If youâre cured, you can ask your neighbors âŠ
This child was young, but he didnât 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 some lies to deal with her, unless she used some extraordinary means to force him to confess.
However, no matter how cunning he was, he was still a child. Song qingxiao couldnât do something so unscrupulous. She could only suppress this doubt in her heart for the time being and prepare to find a way to find out his origin and whether he had any connection with the heavenly Dao temple.
âDo you know Haining County?â
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.
âWhat Haining County? Iâve never heard of it. â
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, â
âThen have you heard of the flood disaster in recent years?â
After she asked this question, the childâs spirit immediately rose. He clearly understood.
âThatâs for sure,â
He nodded his head vigorously.
in recent years, there hasnât been a year without disasters. If itâs not a flood, then thereâs an earthquake. If itâs not a disaster, then thereâs an insect plague. Many people have died in succession.
He counted with his fingers, â
in the past two to three years, the flood has been terrible. There are many âsweet potatoesâ 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.
âThey would occupy the houses of some 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.â
When he mentioned the word âmurderâ, his tone was casual, which made song qingxiao frown.
âWhy would these people want to kill you?â
âLetâs eat.â He said without a care, â
âIâm starving, I can eat human flesh too.â
After saying this, he seemed to realize that he had said something incredible and his whole body began to tremble.
After a while, she leaned over and used her thin face to stick to song Qingâs leg, rubbing it affectionately.
âMother, donât eat me. I can get you food.â
After he finished speaking, he raised his skinny arm and said proudly, â
âYou see, I only have bones left, not much meat. I usually go to the East District to make a living, and if Iâm lucky, I can get a lot of food.â He was afraid that song qingxiao would not believe him.
âThere are some rich people in the east side who love to watch us make fun of each other. One time, they gave me a lot of money just for me to bark like a dog! I bought a big bag of corn, gave a portion to big brother dog, and secretly hid some for myself âŠâ
The child gritted his teeth and pointed at the jar behind him.
âI buried it under that head.â
âMother, donât eat me âŠâ
He rubbed against song Qingâs small leg like a puppy wagging its tail.
Song qingxiao did not get any useful information from the childâs words, but compared to nothing, the childâs actions and words gave her a complicated feeling.
âI donât eat people.â
She wasnât used to being touched by others. Previously, when he hugged her, it was only because he had called her âgodmotherâ that attracted her attention, and she wanted to test if he could remove the seal on her spiritual energy.
After a momentâs pause, she grabbed the childâs arm and pulled him away. She leaned against the corner of the wall.
âHas there been any movement in the heavenly Dao temple in recent years?â
The child was pulled away by her, but he was sensible and did not come over shamelessly.
âHeavenly Dao temple? Theyâve been recruiting monks in recent years!â
He said with some envy, â
itâs great to be a monk. You have clothes to wear, a house to live in, and you wonât go hungry anymore. Itâs also very glorious in front of the men.
Then, the childâs tone changed.
itâs a pity that they only want children above the age of eight, and they must have a household registration certificate. I donât have one.
He looked a little distressed.
brother doggy promised me that if there are any children of the right age among the âsweet potatoesâ, heâll kill one of them and let me take over!
âAfter this is done, Iâll just have to steal some incense money for him from time to time,â the child was still rambling on.
Such a young child should be at the time when his mind was pure, but he could calmly talk about killing, as if he didnât realize that taking a life was a big deal.
In the darkness, the childâs face was a mixture of innocence and extreme despair. The two perfectly combined, forming a cloud of haze that covered his eyes that should have been immaculate.
