Zhu Xian: Learn from the Great Ying Immortal and rebuild the Trinity School

Chapter 15 Baby Girl
Tieping Mountain has a steep terrain and is located west of Huainan Road and south of Minzhou.

In the early years, it was the place where wolves, insects, tigers, leopards, demons and monsters lived.

But just over a hundred years ago, five immortals from the righteous Qingyun Sect passed by here.

According to rumors, these five immortals were originally going to the northwest wilderness, but when they saw this place on the way, they found it to be a foul and evil land.

With the benevolent spirit of doing good deeds, no matter how small, he displayed his magical powers and cleared out all the demons in the mountain.

Today, there is a Xianren Posthouse here, which has become a famous posthouse on the official road in all directions.

There is a constant flow of people every day and it is very lively.

"Hey! Who is this kid? How come he has attracted a joint wanted warrant from several provinces and prefectures?"

A newly posted sign was crowded with merchants and common people.

The notice uses detailed brushwork to depict the image of a young boy.

He has delicate features and looks to be about sixteen or seventeen years old.

Everyone was talking about it:

"Is this kid so valuable? The reward for catching him is 100,000 yuan, and 8,000 yuan for providing information!"

"I heard that he escaped from the Immortal Gate and angered the Immortal, who is now trying to kill him!"

"No wonder."

On the outskirts of the crowd, an old man in tattered clothes silently glanced at the notice, then turned and left.

However, when he passed by a noodle stall, the aroma of spicy oil made him stop for a moment.

The noodle stall owner was chopping the sauce. Seeing this, he wiped the grease on his hands onto his apron and smiled at him:
"Grandpa, would you like a bowl of noodles to fill your stomach?"

The old man looked at him.

"How much."

"It's not expensive, just three cents."

"I only have two cents."

The stall owner looked him up and down.
"Look at you... you haven't had a hot meal in a few days, right?"

The old man's clothes were tattered, as if they were made of scraps of cloth, barely enough to cover his body.

The pair of rotten straw sandals on his feet looked like they were picked up and were obviously not suitable.

His back is hunched, his face is full of wrinkles, and his hands are covered with calluses.

What a sloppy old man.

Only those eyes...

For some reason, it seems brighter than the average young person.

The stall owner didn't think much about it, and waved his hand, saying:

"Two cents is enough. Please sit down."

The old man thanked him and sat down.

The noodle stall is not big, but there are four or five tables of people sitting there.

But there are few serious diners.

Some are there to chat, some are there to drink, and some are there to take a rest.

The old man was seated at a small table in the corner. He turned his head and looked.
He found that sitting next to him in the back seat was an old man of about his age.

He was busy drinking and already a little tipsy.

What was strange was that there was a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes on the table.

"Call me grandpa, call me grandpa..."

The old man used chopsticks dipped in wine to feed the child and teased the child. It was really weird.

The little baby babbled and couldn't speak, waving his short hands and feet as if in protest.

He glanced at it and ignored it.

After a while, the noodles were served.

The stall owner was kind-hearted. Instead of looking down on him, he gave him two more spoonfuls of chili.

The old man thanked him, picked up the chopsticks, and started to wolf down the food.

But the noodles were very dry and he choked after taking just two bites.

Seeing this, the stall owner quickly scooped him another bowl of noodle soup.

The original soup went along with the original food, and the old man continued to wolf it down in a savage manner.

The stall owner watched with great interest and asked with a smile:
"Master, where are you going?"

"Go north to Minzhou." He said without even raising his head.

"Minzhou?"

The stall owner was stunned when he heard this, looked at him strangely, then suddenly sighed for no apparent reason, shook his head and walked away.

He finished this bowl of noodles so quickly!

Seven or eight chopsticks have reached the bottom.
He even licked the chili oil on the edge of the bowl.

Finally, rinse the bowl with the noodle soup and drink it all in one breath.

"call……"

So far,

This old man...or rather Xu Zhiqiu after he changed his appearance, felt like he was alive again.

I have been on the run for more than a month, and this is the first time I have tasted hot food.

At that time, he used the Qi of Reverse Life to cause the Yin and Yang Qi in the Holy Fire of Hehuan to collide, causing the cave to collapse. Unexpectedly, the heavens showed mercy and washed him along the underground river to a mountain stream a hundred miles away.

After that, he hid during the day and moved out at night, avoiding the pursuit of Hehuan's disciples, like a stray dog.

Even this set of tattered clothes were stripped from a dead body on the roadside.

As for why such a young man turned into an old man now?

Don't worry, I'll show you later.

“Hmm~Hmm~Hmm~”

At the table behind him, the baby in the cradle suddenly began to struggle restlessly with his hands and feet.

The old man drank a glass of wine slowly and laughed nonchalantly:
"Hey! Debt collector, are you pooping or peeing this time? I don't have any extra diapers for you to change!"

“Aaaaah! Aaaah! Aaaah!!”

The baby kept whining, the sound becoming louder and louder, more and more eerie.

The old man then held the baby in his arms and coaxed the baby into submission.

Singing a nursery rhyme in an operatic voice:

"A big rooster with a long tail married a wife and forgot his mother.
Carry your wife to the kang, and carry your mother to the back of the mountain.
Make a big pancake, roll it with brown sugar, wife, you try it first, I'll go to the back of the mountain to see our mother,
My mother turned into a dung beetle and flew away! "

But the baby obviously didn't give any face, and his crying became more and more shrill, so abnormal that he almost cried out hoarsely.

The old drunkard began to panic and sober up.

"Are you starving?"

He looked around with his head raised.

"Is there any lady passing by who has milk? Would you mind giving me a sip?"

No one paid attention.

At this time, the stall owner came over with a sullen face and asked, "What did you feed the child just now?"

The old man said in a stammering voice, "Noodles, noodles."

"Ah!? That noodle is spicy!"

The stall owner's eyes widened, looking like he was looking at someone with teeth.

He held a kitchen knife in his hand, and had already studied the old drunkard's forehead from an angle.
Glancing at him sideways:
"You're so mean to your child. Could it be that you picked this child from some good family?"

The old man was furious when he heard this.
"The mud hasn't even fallen into my crotch yet, how dare you, the store owner, spit blood on me?"

He slapped the table and emphasized his tone:
"This is my granddaughter!"

"If you say so, then so? What's the proof?"

The stall owner said as he went to grab the child.
"Let go! Wait until the authorities arrive!"

The old man naturally refused to give in, and the two men started to fight.

The poor baby was being fought over by two adults and couldn't even make a sound. His little face turned as purple as an eggplant.

Xu Zhiqiu saw the good and the bad,

He hurried forward and separated the two with a tug.

He took the baby in his arms,
He broke off a hollow reed, inserted it into the baby's trachea along its throat, and sucked on it for a while.

Not long,

Sure enough, a foreign object was sucked out, which turned out to be a pepper shell.

The baby finally calmed down, his face softened, and he started to giggle.

Xu Zhiqiu stretched out his index finger and teased the baby, but the baby actually sucked his finger in his mouth.

It's so cute, really rare.

He also smiled when he saw this.

……

Then the matter was clarified.

The old man’s surname is Zhou and his taboo name is Yixian.

He is a man who walks around the streets, specializing in fortune-telling and physiognomy.

Not human teeth.

It was simply the lack of experience in breastfeeding that almost led to the disaster.

If Xu Zhiqiu hadn't discovered it in time, the baby girl would have choked to death today.

In short, the baby girl's life was saved, and the old man thanked him profusely.

But Xu Zhiqiu didn't bother to exchange pleasantries with him. He just gave him some instructions on how to take care of children.

Then he paid the stall owner for the noodles and left.

However, not far from the crowd,
"young people."

Xu Zhiqiu turned around in surprise, only to see the old man following him with the baby girl in his arms.

On his shoulder he carried a white cloth sign with the words "The Immortal Pointing the Way" written on it.

Xu Zhiqiu's face was calm, he smiled and asked:
"This old man, are you calling someone?"

Zhou Yixian smiled at his words,
He came closer, lowered his voice, and made an unfathomable expression.
"If I'm not mistaken... the person wanted on the government notice is you, right?"

"..."

Xu Zhiqiu stared straight at him, and unknowingly his calmness had faded away.

There was a mixture of brilliance and murderous intent in his eyes, flickering faintly.
