Chapter 815: Dependence
Yan Lan looked at the sky, it was already dark, and only a hint of dark yellow remained at the end of the western sky.
On the street, rows of shops lit up their lamps one after another. The shouts on the street gradually disappeared and slowly turned into chaotic noises.
As night falls, so does the night market.
Yan Lan looked at more and more pedestrians on the street and smiled secretly: "This area is quite special. In Luoyun City, there should be many similar areas in many remote places, most of which are populated by people with low cultivation levels.
A monk, or a mortal without any cultivation."
"In this area, the strong do not want to come. Only some monks who are neither strong nor weak live here. Over time, they have become the masters of this generation. After staying high for a long time, their true nature will be revealed. They are arrogant, domineering, unreasonable and unreasonable.
Then I have nothing to worry about.”
Yan Lan walked a few steps and turned into a small alley.
The alley is very narrow, only about half a foot wide, barely enough room for four people to walk abreast.
When you first enter the alley, you can still see some lights. The further you go in, the darker it becomes, as if the people living here are too poor to even light a candle.
Yan Lan scanned his spiritual sense and found that no one lived in the buildings in this area. If there were any, there were a few dilapidated houses inhabited by some ragged people. They probably couldn't afford anything.
I didn't want to wander in the streets, so I went to bed early with my clothes on.
"I have been bullied since I was a child, and I thought I was pitiable. I didn't expect that there are people more pitiable than me in this world. At least I have enough food and clothing, and I have the protection of my family. But they have no clothes to cover their bodies and no food to eat.
If it weren't for these abandoned old houses, they might have used the earth as their pillow and the sky as their tent, and they might never wake up at some unknown night and die forever."
Yan Lan's steps became even slower, and his eyes showed compassion.
"No, they are definitely not the majority. They are young men with strong bodies and hands, and they do not seek wealth or honor. But if they are willing to work hard, they will not be in such a situation. They are lazy, indifferent to work..."
"Huh? There are actually many young children huddled in pig pens and dog cages. Could it be that... these strong men rely on these young and weak children to beg for a living, and then provide them with food, drink, and entertainment?
Spendthrift?"
Yan Lan put away her compassionate gaze. In her eyes, she expressed sadness for her misfortune, anger and contempt, and even a hint of anger.
"Even young children know how to beg for a living, but some people only know how to enjoy themselves. This is even more contemptible than begging."
Yan Lan took a deep breath and gathered her spiritual consciousness. A hundred feet ahead was the home of Li Yi and Li Shang.
Yan Lan's spiritual consciousness swept into Li Yi's house.
"Mom, come and take medicine. Only after drinking the medicine can you have the strength to eat!"
Li Shang carefully held a bowl of medicine and stood in front of the bed of a pale woman, while Li Yi struggled to help the woman up.
"Yi'er, Shang'er...ahem...it's my mother who has caused trouble for you. My mother wanted to leave for a long time, but she couldn't bear to leave you two...ahem..."
The woman's lips were dry and bloodless, and she spoke feebly. Her eyes were full of sadness, reluctance, and helplessness.
Li Yi patted the woman's back gently, forced a smile and said: "Mother, what nonsense are you talking about? My sister and I will grow up soon, and we will be able to take care of you. You don't have to worry about me. Come on, mother first."
After drinking the medicine, my sister and I got a lot of spiritual stones today and bought two large plates of delicious meat. After my mother drinks the medicine, she must try it."
Li Chang suppressed the tears in his eyes, nodded and smiled: "Yeah, yes, we have a big brother who is very kind to us and gave us a lot of good things."
The woman seemed to suddenly have strength. She quickly looked at Li Yi, stared haggardly and said: "Yi'er, tell me the truth, are you stealing other people's things again? Ahem... How many times have I told you that we would rather be hungry?
Even if you die, don't do those sneaky things. Ahem... You are a man. A man must stand upright and upright, so that he can stand out openly in the future... Ahem..."
Li Yi hurriedly patted the woman's back and said anxiously: "Mother, Yi'er didn't steal it. This... this was indeed a gift from a big brother. Yi'er will remember her mother's teachings, never steal, even if you beg.
Everything you get is fair and honest."
Li Chang's tears finally rolled down and she said quickly: "Mom, my brother is telling the truth. He really didn't steal anything. Mom, don't worry, he won't dare to steal anything while I'm watching over him."
The woman breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "That's good, that's good...Okay, mother, take the medicine and taste the meat you bought."
Li Yi smiled, quickly took the medicine bowl, and drank it slowly from the woman.
Li Shang jumped up and down, took out two butter paper parcels from Li Yi's folded clothes, then carried them to the woman's bed and slowly opened them.
Suddenly, a strong aroma of meat filled the dilapidated house. At that moment, the whole house seemed to be shiny and shiny.
The woman looked at the meat wrapped in butter paper and couldn't help but shed tears.
"Mom, why are you crying? Come and eat meat. It's delicious and hot!"
Li Shang picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and brought it to the woman's mouth.
The woman looked at Li Chang fondly and said with a smile: "Shang'er, Yi'er, you eat first. Mom is watching you eat, and I couldn't be happier."
Li Yi said with a smile: "Mom, why are you so polite to us? Come and eat together..."
Yan Lan looked at this scene, and her originally light steps suddenly became much heavier.
"Mom, how many times have I told you that we would rather starve to death than do those sneaky things..."
"You are a man, and a man must stand upright and upright, so that he can stand up openly in the future..."
The two sentences spoken by the woman appeared in Yan Lan's mind, and a touch of sadness suddenly filled her heart.
"Mother, what a wonderful title, but my mother, my mother, where is she? When I was young, I longed to be close to my mother. If I made a mistake, my mother would teach me a lesson; I would make progress.
, my mother will praise me; when I am bullied, my mother will stand up and protect me..."
Yan Lan took a deep breath and smiled slightly. In his opinion, Li Yi and Li Shang also had happiness that was beyond his reach.
At this time, the pawnshop owner was sneakily hiding outside the window of Li Yi's house, peeking at the situation inside the house through the window covered with torn paper.
"It's strange. What kind of God of Wealth did Li Yi bump into today? He actually got a top-quality human spirit stone. I saw the bulge in his clothes. I guess there are many top-quality human spirit stones in his clothes. Tsk tsk, it's really a gift from heaven.
Windfall, even if I kill this kid, no one will do anything to me. Who will care about my humble life?"
The pawn shop owner smiled faintly, stood up, pushed open the door of Li Yi's dilapidated house, crossed the threshold, and walked into the house.
Yan Lan did not rush into Li Yi's house, but stood quietly at the door of Li Yi's house, squinting her eyes and looking into the house.
