The Little Sister in the Cultivation World

Chapter 36 Save Him?

The look in his eyes when he saw the wine jar was exactly the same as the way his father looked at wine.

Su Jiaojiao, who had just been separated from the old man for two days, missed him a little.

Oh!
Then I remembered that I hadn't called them yet.

Seeing her grandfather limping over, Zhong Fang quickly stopped him and said, "Grandpa, let me carry you inside. Your legs are not convenient, so don't drop the wine."

After hearing this, Grandpa Zhong did not force her but said to Zhong Fang's back: "Take it to my room and put it on my bedside table."

"Okay, sir. Don't you want to have a drink with Dad at noon?" Zhong Fang agreed without turning her head.

Grandpa Zhong ignored her when he heard that.

"Girl, is the old leader in good health recently? There is a stool over there, go sit there." As he said this, he pointed to the low stool under the eaves with his crutch.

"Okay, thank you Grandpa Zhong. My old man has always been in good health. It's just that he has been talking about you grandpas recently and always wants to get together with you." Su Jiaojiao answered Grandpa Zhong obediently.

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Zhong recalled the days when they fought together and felt emotional. He looked at Su Jiaojiao and said with a smile: "Girl, old men our age are really getting fewer and fewer days. It's hard to get together again!" When he said this, Grandpa Zhong's eyes were a little tearful.

"Master~ Why are you talking nonsense again? The doctor told you not to have too many mood swings." At this time, Zhong Fang had already been released.

As soon as I came out, I saw my grandfather wiping his tears. What else could I not understand?
Grandpa Zhong was not happy to hear this, and said with a fierce face: "What do you know as a girl? You should be happy that you were born in this era. When we were hit by the disaster, we were so hungry that we had to eat tree bark. Even then, we still had to fight the devils. If it weren't for us old friends, would you have the good life you have now?"

"Grandpa, I was wrong. Come and sit here." She patiently helped her grandfather sit on the high stool with both hands.

Because one of my legs was injured, I had to keep the injured leg stretched out even when I sat down.

"Does it hurt when it's windy and rainy? It snows here in winter. It must be even more unbearable when it snows." Su Jiaojiao frowned.

Seeing her like this, Grandpa Zhong smiled and said nonchalantly: "That's not the case. It hurts when it snows in winter~" At this point, Grandpa Zhong shook his head and waved his hands.

But he said with a proud look: "This is my medal of honor!"

"Yes~ Medal of Honor!" Su Jiaojiao nodded heavily, confirming this statement.

Seeing this, Grandpa Zhong smiled like a child.

At this time, a woman carrying vegetables walked in from outside the door. She was about 40 to 50 years old, with short hair, fair skin and an oval face.

"Who are you...?" Mother Zhong saw the girl sitting under the eaves as soon as she entered the door. She was so pretty. She wanted to sigh when she thought about her daughter's appearance.

For the sake of the next generation, I have to find a good-looking one.

"Hello, auntie. My name is Su Jiaojiao. I'm here to see Grandpa Zhong today." Su Jiaojiao greeted the auntie who had just come in with a smile.

……

Today, Su Jiaojiao ate her fill at the Zhong family’s house because the food her aunt cooked was really delicious. No wonder Uncle Zhong came back to eat every day.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when we said goodbye to the Zhong family.

Su Jiaojiao planned to go back to the Youth Hostel, and then returned to the alley she had been in that morning. When she was about to put on an invisibility talisman under the pressure of the Heavenly Dao, she heard Xiaodu's frightened cry in her mind: "Master, please take me in, I'm going to be split again~"

Su Jiaojiao: ...You scared me!
"It's okay, why are you panicking? That's targeting me. They're just using something from that world to warn me." After saying that, Su Jiaojiao calmly slapped the talisman on her body, jumped on the flying sword and flew towards the Youth Academy. Xiaodu huddled on Su Jiaojiao's shoulder and asked fearfully, "Master, aren't you afraid? I'm afraid!"

Su Jiaojiao was bored and used her spiritual sense to scan the plants and trees below. She was speechless when she heard this. If I were afraid, what would I be doing now?
At this time, the movement below forced Su Jiaojiao to stop in mid-air.

"What's wrong, Master?" Xiaodu tilted his head to look at her in confusion, and saw that she was looking in one direction without saying anything.

He also looked in the direction of his gaze out of curiosity.

I saw a group of men surrounding a man kneeling on the ground, and two men were digging a hole with shovels.

The man was tied up with a cloth stuffed in his mouth. He was trembling with fear and sweat all over his forehead.

From time to time, he would glance in the direction of the pit, and with each glance, the fear on his face grew a little more intense.

He begged tremblingly to the pale and thin man in the middle. He seemed to want to say something, but his mouth was blocked and he could only make a humming sound.

Seeing this, the pale man just took out a handkerchief, pressed it against his lips and coughed heavily, the sound sounded like his lungs were about to be coughed out.

It took him a long time to stop coughing, and he slowly took off the handkerchief in his hand.

He winked at the person next to him.

The sturdy man next to him nodded in understanding, bent down and reached out to tear the cloth out of the mouth of the man kneeling on the ground.

Almost at the moment when the strip of cloth was torn off, the man kneeling on the ground spoke anxiously and panickedly: "Master Jiu, Master Jiu, please forgive me. I really don't know where the batch of goods is."

As he said this, regardless of the fact that his body was tied up and he had difficulty moving, he bent down and kowtowed to the "Ninth Master" he mentioned, begging him to spare him.

Upon hearing this, the man called Jiu Ye slowly squatted down and looked at the kneeling man at eye level, then he spoke weakly: "Oh? You don't know? But didn't you go to Lao Gui's place before the goods were lost? What? My temple is too small to accommodate you? Are you planning to sit on a different stone pier?"

The kneeling man's pupils dilated instantly when he heard this, beads of cold sweat dripped down his face, and a feeling of despair slowly rose in his heart.

He knew, he knew everything!
He also knew that he would not forgive him. He regretted betraying Master Jiu for some immediate benefits, knowing full well that he would never show mercy to those who betrayed him.

I...I...how come I...

Thinking of this, he closed his eyes in regret and despair, waiting for his death.

The thin man named Jiu Ye looked even gloomier when he saw this. He snorted coldly and asked, "Where is the batch of goods now?"

The man on the ground closed his eyes and said nothing, as if he had accepted his own outcome. However, his trembling body betrayed his unrest.

Jiu Ye was so angry that he laughed when he saw this, but he just laughed for a moment and then he started coughing again.

"Master, are you going to save him?" Xiaodu asked while standing on Su Jiaojiao's shoulder.

"Then Xiaodu, do you want me to save him?" Su Jiaojiao asked instead of answering.

"No, I don't think they are good people!"
