Chapter 158: Sibling
"Sister, is there really a heart tree by the river?"
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes yesterday, but it was far away and I couldn't touch it. Now I have a long pole, and I think I can get it."
A seven- or eight-year-old child tightly pulled the thin sister in front of him, and his big eyes were full of curiosity and excitement.
Lianxin wood, but the treasure of heaven and earth, is used by practitioners. It can be used as refiners and runes, and can be exchanged for ten low-grade spiritual stones, which is enough to maintain the livelihood of mortals for half a year.
The elder sister is black and thin. The only thing that is estimated to be that pair of eyes, which are not stained with fine dust, gives people a feeling like a mirror, and can clearly see her own appearance from her eyes.
When they came to the pool, they saw Su Yue, who was wet all over.
"Two mortals..."
Although the cultivation has been sealed, the divine consciousness is still there. Su Yue knows the root of the two at a glance, but he is a little surprised. Are there still mortals in Zixia City?
The fairyland is a world of practitioners. Although this mortal exists, it is the first time Su Yue has seen it. There are no mortals in the small Tianfeng City. How can there be mortals in such a big Zixia City?
This is what he thinks wrong. The practitioner practices, and his children can generally practice, but it always means that if there is no talent, he can only be a mortal. If he can't practice in the family, he will immediately take down the side branch. If the children of the heirs can't practice, then they will become a handyman, even the side branch. It doesn't count.
This is the reality of the family. After all, the family resources are also limited, and there is no reason to raise a useless mortal.
In this way, the number of mortals has slowly grown. Most of them are eliminated from those big families. In small places such as Tianfeng City, it can be called the Zheng family, which is still a last stream. It has not been passed down for several generations. Of course, it is impossible to have the talent for practice, but Zixia City is different. There are three families in this city. After hundreds of years of inheritance, there are always some mortals. As we all know, the ability of mortals to reproduce is much better than that of practitioners. Double monks may not have children for hundreds and thousands of years. The higher their cultivation, the more difficult it is to have children. Unlike mortals, they can be said to reproduce very quickly.
And the more mortal you are, the more you think that your children can practice. At that time, you can change your body and get rid of slavery. It's just not a simple thing. It's difficult to have a practitioner among 10,000 mortals. How can there be such good luck, so the more mortals live, the more disappointed they are. From generation to generation, in this Zixia At the bottom of the city, there is a group of mortals.
They have their own world, which is the same as the world, but life is generally difficult. After all, the currency they traded is still a spiritual stone. It takes time for practitioners to get a spiritual stone, not to mention that mortals are almost hungry.
This sister and brother, I guess it's such a mortal. Fortunately, they found Lianxinmu and wanted to exchange it for a spiritual stone.
"Sister!"
The boy exclaimed, holding his sister's arm, with fear and anger in his eyes.
Lian Xinmu was discovered by my sister. Now that someone is here, she must have found Lian Xinmu. Maybe she has taken the lead, and it feels very uncomfortable to hope that she has failed.
"What do you want to do..."
The girl is also a little scared. She has more insight than her brother. Although the person in front of her is embarrassed, it gives her a lot of pressure. She knows that the person in front of her is also a practitioner. If the heart is seen by the practitioner, she will inevitably be taken away.
What she is worried about is not this, but whether the practitioner will kill their sister and brother in order to hide their eyes and ears. This kind of thing is endless. Killing a mortal without a practitioner will care.
"Don't be afraid."
Su Yue said gently, but he knew that the sister and brother had misunderstood. It was just a heart. He hadn't seen it yet.
It's just that the two of them still cringe, just like quail.
Su Yue could only smile bitterly and took out dozens of low-grade spiritual stones from the storage ring, and the sight of his sister and brother was immediately attracted by the spiritual stone.
"Look, I have so many spiritual stones that I don't like that heart-to-heart tree."
The younger brother was a little excited, but the elder sister shook her head. No practitioner would dislike the many spiritual stones.
Su Yue hesitated for a moment, took out another medium-grade spiritual stone and said.
"Now you believe it."
The boy doesn't know the difference between this spiritual stone and other spiritual stones. It's just a little bigger, but the elder sister opens her eyes wide. She has seen the middle-grade spiritual stone, which is equivalent to the value of a thousand lower-grade spiritual stones. The practitioner who can have this "huge money" must not look down on the heartwood.
"I have a few questions for you. If you answer truthfully, I will reward you."
Su Yue saw the girl's letter, pulled out four or five from the pile of low-grade spiritual stones, and pushed them to his sister and brother.
"What is the location of Zixia City?"
He just fled for his life and was in a panic. Su Yue didn't know where he had been.
The girl was stunned and didn't expect it to be such a simple problem, but the spiritual stone was in front of her, and she couldn't help swallowing the waterway.
"This is the coal mountain."
"Coal mountain?"
Su Yue frowned. Where is this? I haven't heard of it.
"It is the place where coal is transported, sent to the valley and put into the fiery furnace."
The boy couldn't help rushing to say.
Su Yue dialed four or five spiritual stones and continued to ask.
"What is the place in the valley? What is a furnace of fire?
When the boy saw that Su Yue was gentle and attracted by the spirit stone, he was not afraid. He said without waiting for his sister to answer.
"The valley is the valley, and the fire furnace is a big fire pit..."
Hearing these childish words, the elder sister covered her brother's mouth and said.
"The valley is the cast sword valley, and the fire furnace is the fire vein of the cast sword valley. ** Comes out, and countless coal is invested every day to increase the fire temperature."
"Cast Sword Valley!"
Su Yue's expression was stiff, and he immediately regained his composure. He didn't expect to come here by mistake.
He knows the casting sword valley. The place where the ancestors of the Bo family practiced is the casting sword valley. He didn't expect that there was such a big fire vein in the casting sword valley. It sounds like a volcano outside **, but this fire vein is originally hot. Why do they have to invest a lot of coal?
What is the temperature of the Porteng cloud at such a high temperature?
Su Yue is very confused, but he is also clear about the situation. This coal mountain is probably a coal mining mine. I'm afraid there are many mortals like this sister and brother. After all, it is impossible for practitioners to carry the work of transporting coal. There is no problem if there are enough mortals.
"Do you know why you have to invest so much coal?"
Although he knew that the sister and brother were unlikely to know the inside story, Su Yue still asked.
They shook their heads, the girl said.
"The transportation of coal has lasted for several years. We only came here last year. We can manage one meal a day, and there is a spiritual stone every month. Under layers of exploitation, one piece becomes half, and there is only one spirit stone in two months."
The boy's red eyes are very aggrieved.
"They bullied our sister and brother who were helpless, not to mention the spiritual stone. People robbed them for a meal every day..."
The girl also felt the same way, but she still pulled her brother into her arms and didn't let him go on. He was afraid that it would make the practitioner unhappy.
Su Yue was not unhappy, but had a trace of sympathy. He pushed dozens of low-grade spiritual stones to the two, hoping to improve their environment.
As for the middle-grade spiritual stone, it is not good. If the sister and brother have a medium-grade spiritual stone, it will definitely cause a big disaster.
"Where do you live?"
Su Yue asked.
"It's in the coal mountain."
"Can you take me to stay for a while? These spiritual stones are regarded as rent."
The girl was a little surprised why the high-ranking practitioner lived in the slums, but she did not dare to refuse, not to mention so many spiritual stones, immediately said.
"Of course, it's just that our place is simple..."
She lowered her head with some embarrassment.
Su Yue shook his head and didn't care. What is simplicity? At the beginning, he had never suffered in the human world. Although the current situation is sympathetic, it is incomparable to the pain he suffered, so he just has a little sympathy, but he has never thought of changing their fate.
Fate is in your own hands, it is to fight, blindly wronged, and it is useless.
If the sister and brother can be self-motivated, with the dozens of spiritual stones given by Su Yue, they may not have the opportunity to become superiors, because Su Yue's divine consciousness swept over and found that both of them have the talent for practice, and their qualifications are not very poor...
The girl is still a little shy and timid.
"That Lianxinmu..."
Su Yue frowned.
"I have given you so many spiritual stones, which have already exceeded the value of Lianxinmu. Why do you care about it?"
The girl bit her lip and said.
"The spiritual stone you gave us is a charity. We shouldn't have wanted it, but his younger brother is still young. He needs this spiritual stone to live... And I found the heartwood. The reason why I brought my brother here is to exchange the spiritual stone and feed myself by doing it myself, because our life should not be just charity... "
When the words fell, Su Yue murmured and sighed for a long time and stopped talking.
Our life should not be just charity...
What a sister, what a blessed brother. With such a sister, even if it's begging, it's worth it.
So under Su Yue's eyes, the sister and brother began to act. The long bamboo pole poked out, hooked the heartwood, and was about to pull it out. However, the distance was too far and too deep to take root. She couldn't do anything about it. The boy went up to help. The sister and brother were tired and gasped. Finally, they tossed for two hours. The sun was about to go down, and they Taking this heartwood in hand, but the rhizome was a little damaged, and the value would be reduced. However, the smiles of the sister and brother were obviously very satisfied, which was much happier than when Su Yue gave them the spiritual stone.
"Let's go now."
Su Yue is a little touched. If he can, he will help the sister and brother, not for anything else, just for a word, our life should not be just charity.
The coal mountain is really dilapidated. There are no houses, only shacks that can't be covered by wind and rain. There are black coal slag everywhere, and the smell is everywhere. The sister and brother shuttled to the edge of the shack and come to the edge of a thatched hut with the most shabby, even leaking wind on all sides...
Those who live in the shack are all adults. The two children can only build a grass house. Although it is more dilapidated and shaky, it is eye-catching to enter it. The family is full of four walls, but it is clean, with a faint fragrance of grass.
