I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

"After we go back, there will be too many people here. We can't do this! It's still the same as before." Ji Xiaobei said seriously.

Fu Jichang smiled and said nothing, but just held her hand tightly.

After a while, Ji Xiaobei's pounding heart finally calmed down.

She seemed to realize something.

He pulled his hand away and looked at Fu Jichang in pretended anger: "Xiaoyaozi, is this a premeditated action of yours?"

Fu Jichang smiled proudly.

Ji Xiaobei reached out to hit him.

Fu Jichang ran very fast.

"Stop, you haven't taught me Qinggong yet, are you kidding me..."

"I will teach you. I will definitely teach you..."

……

Unexpectedly, the two people got lost.

The sun has gone down and the air is getting colder.

Ji Xiaobei told Fu Jichang what she had seen in the morning.

Fu Jichang raised his head and looked towards the dark outline on the mountain.

Black Lotus Cult, Man in Black?

He glanced at Ji Xiaobei, who said calmly, "I also thought of the man in black, the dark shadow that flashed across the ancient temple, and the panicked look on the old monk's face. I always felt that something was strange."

Fu Jichang suddenly had a bad thought in his mind.

I went to the government office this morning, and it seemed that Dai Xingchen also had a problem.

There is an inexplicable evil spirit in Yongchang Prefecture.

Neither of them spoke. Fu Jichang wrapped Ji Xiaobei's hand and walked down slowly.

Suddenly a group of men in black appeared on the path ahead.

The two men quickly hid behind an ancient tree.

The group of people came down the mountain in a hurry.

The two of them followed them down the mountain.

There were several carriages parked at the foot of the mountain. The people got on the carriages and left quickly.

Ji Xiaobei and Fu Jichang were running, but they could not run as fast as the carriage, and the carriage soon disappeared.

"Xiaobei, you go back first. I'll go with them..." Fu Jichang said, "Can you find the inn?"

Ji Xiaobei knew that Fu Jichang was good at Qinggong and would be able to catch up in a short while, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry about me, just go catch up with them."

Fu Jichang pointed to the lights not far away and said, "Walk slowly. It will take about an incense stick of time to get to the city. There are lights ahead."

Ji Xiaobei didn't hesitate at all and strode towards the direction of the dark lights on the road.

When Fu Jichang saw her leaving, he tiptoed and disappeared into the path.

Ji Xiaobei walked for a while and saw that Fu Jichang was gone, so she entered the cold storage space.

An hour later, she appeared at the South City Gate.

A group of men in black got off the carriages and went out of the city gate.

After dark, the city gates were closed.

The man in black can come and go freely, he must have the support of the government.

Ji Xiaobei also changed into black clothes and followed them.

You can't follow too closely.

When she tried to pass again, the guards guarding the city stopped her.

Ji Xiaobei pointed at the man in black in front of her. The guard hesitated for a moment and let her go.

It was pitch black, and if you looked closely you could see a lot of tents.

This is how those who fled famine spent the night. It must be so cold! Ji Xiaobei shivered.

At this time, a ball of fire rose not far away.

Then someone shouted, "The Black Lotus Cult is distributing steamed buns..."

The sound is not loud, but has strong penetrating power.

There was a sudden commotion, as if people were waiting for this sound.

A few more scattered torches were lit, and people walked towards the big fire in the light.

Ji Xiaobei also mixed in the crowd and followed.

"If there really is a Black Lotus Sect that distributes steamed buns, it really is a Bodhisattva Sect..."

"This isn't the first time. We've sent them out before, but not regularly. It's said that anyone who eats the Black Lotus Cult's buns is one of theirs."

Ji Xiaobei listened to the two people around him talking in low voices.

She asked, "Uncle, if I become their person, can I eat steamed buns every day?"

"Young man, you just got here, right? The Black Lotus Cult is kind and charitable. They only come out at night, and no one has ever seen what they look like!" said the uncle.

Ji Xiaobei: There are such good people?

"Hey, Laocheng, I heard that it costs 500 coins to join the Black Lotus Sect. Will you pay it?" A voice sounded again.

"I, I don't teach, I don't have that much money..."

"I was planning to pay it. I heard that if you don't pay, you will be a member of the Black Lotus Sect. You have to be paid for working for them, and you will also get food. Oh, and do you know their holy water?"

"Okay, it's almost our turn. If others hear it, it will be over..."

……

Ji Xiaobei listened to a few words, but still didn't understand what the Black Lotus Sect was doing.

The person in front of her took the steamed bun and left. She reached out to take the hard object and looked up at the man in black.

It was wrapped so tightly that only two eyes could be seen.

The man saw Ji Xiaobei looking at him and said angrily, "What are you looking at? You don't want to live anymore!"

Ji Xiaobei hurriedly lowered his head, took the steamed bun and left.

You can't scare the snake away.

She put the steamed bun in her pocket and mixed in with the crowd. People returned to their tents in an orderly manner. There was no looting and everything was in order.

Ji Xiaobei was even more puzzled as to why the Black Lotus Church was so magical.

She was even more surprised.

She stood alone in the darkness, watching the men in black quickly retreat.

Suddenly, I was pulled by a pair of big hands, and a deep voice sounded behind my ears: "Don't be afraid, it's me!"

She was not surprised at all to meet Fu Jichang.

With his skills, it was more than enough to track them.

Fu Jichang pulled her in another direction.

He walked to the foot of the city wall and whispered, "Don't move!"

Reaching out and holding her waist, Ji Xiaobei felt his body lighten. She subconsciously hugged that strong waist tightly, and in a flash she crossed the city wall and landed steadily on the ground.

He let go of Ji Xiaobei's waist, took her hand, and disappeared into the night.

The two men arrived at the door of the inn, which was already closed.

He called the door open, and the waiter opened it angrily. When he saw that it was Ji Xiaobei, he immediately lost his temper.

"Miss, are you back? My boss has prepared a midnight snack for you. I'll have someone bring it to your room right away."

The young man was not very enthusiastic.

Fu Jichang asked coldly, "Is your shopkeeper Lu Xiong?"

The young man seemed not to hear anything. He ran forward a few steps quickly, then quickly braked, turned around and nodded to Fu Jichang.

Fu Jichang had been in a very good mood all day, but as soon as he entered the inn, he felt like being fed a mouthful of shit and felt so sick that he wanted to vomit.

"Are you hungry? I'll ask the kitchenette to make you something to eat?"

Fu Jichang asked.

Ji Xiaobei waved his hand and said, "No, I have food to eat. I'm leaving now!"

After not seeing her children for a day, she was eager to go home.

Fu Jichang also wanted to go and see the children, but Jiaojiao lived with them, so it was too late and inconvenient, so he had to give up and watched Ji Xiaobei run upstairs.
