Chapter 2344: A Child Who Bore a Lot of Burden and Loneliness
“Quick, Xiao Hei.” Yi Liang put the meat and soup in a bowl in front of Ning Shu.
Yi Liang took a bowl for himself, and the two ate fragrant pheasant meat on the kitchen pyre.
Ning Shu ate the meat. Sure enough, foxes needed to eat meat, too. It also tasted great.
What she ate slowly turned into a warm current that flowed to every corner of her body. It felt very comfortable.
Yi Liang’s face was stained with oil, and his face didn’t look so sallow anymore.
The two finished eating a pheasant and even drank all the soup.
Yi Liang tidied up the kitchen. He then went to the yard to pull out some herbs, smashed them, and put them on Ning Shu’s leg.
“Thank you.” Yi Liang’s eyes were red as he bandaged Ning Shu’s wound.
Ning Shu didn’t realize that this child liked to cry so much. He hadn’t even shed a tear in the face of those who bullied him.
Yet he cried in the middle of the night last night, and now his eyes were red again.
He was a child who bore a lot of burden and loneliness. However, he had suddenly found himself a companion.
He must feel some kind of dependence.
A whimper was stuck in Ning Shu’s throat. She really was becoming his wet nurse…
Ning Shu actually wanted Yi Liang to leave this town. Guarding the house was useless anyway.
Moreover, since she had injured Yi Xue yesterday, they would definitely not give up.
It’d be better for Yi Liang to become strong rather than to stay here and wait for someone to come back.
Yi Liang’s parents must be dead, although it still might be possible to find his younger sister.
Why didn’t Yi Liang just take part in a sect examination? Even if it was a cultivation sect, it still had to find and accept talented disciples.
All Ning Shu thought about was how to get Yi Liang out of his current predicament.
She couldn’t just keep catching pheasants for this guy for the rest of his life. It was better to teach someone how to fish rather than hand him one.
In such a cruel world, he’d only be able to survive by being strong.
Just look at Yi Xue, who bullied Yi Liang. Wasn’t the reason why he could be so unbridled precisely because there was a foundation stage cultivator in the family?
That was power.
Yi Liang also didn’t dare to resist because he was worried about that power.
Ning Shu didn’t know if Yi Liang had spiritual roots, though.
Yi Liang tied a knot and said to Ning Shu, “Don’t run around for now. Just focus on recovering.”
Ning Shu whimpered. She laid directly on the ground, closed her eyes, then started to cultivate.
Yi Liang saw the little fox lying directly on the ground. He knew that it must be so cold on the ground, so found some small old clothes in the dilapidated wardrobe.
These were clothes that Yi Liang couldn’t wear anymore.
Yi Liang spread these clothes on the ground, making it look like a nest, and said, “Go sleep on the clothes. It’s too cold on the ground.”
Ning Shu opened her eyes and moved to lie on his clothes.
Ning Shu cultivated while Yi Liang handled the herbs in the yard. Presumably, he learned his knowledge of herbs from his father.
Ning Shu inwardly sighed. She was cultivating really slowly right now.
“There’s a monster inside.”
“Really?”
“A monster that looks like a dog.”
There were voices of people talking outside the yard, mixed with chaotic footsteps.
There were obviously a lot of people outside.
Yi Liang abruptly stood up and rushed into the room, “Go away, someone’s coming to catch you.”
“Go through that dog hole. Hurry up!” Yi Liang was so anxious that his forehead was sweating.
Ning Shu frowned. She had dyed her fur black and also tried to bark like a dog. How did they find out that she was not a dog?
There were banging sounds of people kicking the door. They didn’t ask for anyone to open it at all, they just slammed the door open.
A bunch of people poured into the yard, making it seem a little crowded.
The herbs Yi Liang planted were trampled by these people, and the leaves of the herbs were now wilted and stuck to the ground.
