The seven emotions and six desires are all my nourishment

Jin Doudou washed off the medicinal herbs applied to the wound by the river, and the bleeding had stopped by then.

The reflection on the river surface clearly revealed a large bruise and a hideous wound, grinning like that.

Jin Doudou was very satisfied. He picked a few wild fruits, washed them, and wrapped them in big leaves. He washed his face and hands, straightened his clothes, picked up the fruits with both hands, and ran to the threshing ground where a group of people gathered.

From a distance, the threshing ground was crowded with people, and although they were constantly being driven away, they could not be driven away.

That's a flying immortal! Even if you don't have this blessing at home, it's worth taking a look!

When Jin Doudou came over, the scene was already in order. There were people outside watching the fun, and some were there to send their children off.

There is an exquisite small platform in the middle. It is obvious that the platform is not from the village. Two Taoists in green robes are standing beside the table on the platform.

The children in the village lined up in an orderly manner, went up the left stairs one by one, touched the stone in the middle, and then went down the right stairs amid the sighs of the Taoist priest in green robes.

The skinny little Jin Doudou carefully squeezed through the gap between the crowd and saw this scene.

Jin Doudou was jogging and queuing on the left. Behind her, more people came to send their children. Gradually, six children were left on the stage, one of whom was Zhou Jun, the child brought by her stepmother.

Jin Doudou lowered his head and raised his eyebrows secretly. He was really lucky.

As the queue became smaller and smaller, the golden beans were finally put on the shelves.

The small body looked like he was only three or four years old, with dry and yellow hair and wearing wrinkled and patched clothes. When he raised his head, the horrific wound made the Taoist in green robe frown.

Before the Taoist priest in green robes could say anything, Zhou Jun suddenly rushed over and grabbed Jin Doudou by the hair. "Why are you here, you little bastard?! Do you deserve it?! Get out of here!"

"Ah, it hurts, wuwuwu." Jin Doudou staggered because of being pulled, and because the wound was torn, he began to bleed again, which was terrible.

Zhou Jun was secretly proud of his bravery when the Taoist in green robe waved his hand and Zhou Jun was sent flying back.

Zhou Jun was unharmed, but this also made him both scared and excited.

"How dare you." He said lightly and said no more, just let Jin Doudou go forward and touch the stone.

Jin Doudou understood what was going on. He wiped his bloody hands on his clothes pitifully before touching the stone.

The stone emitted a halo of light, and the colorful light was very beautiful, but it disappeared in an instant.

The Taoist in green robe nodded with satisfaction and said, "Five spiritual roots, stay."

Another young Taoist asked Jin Doudou to retreat and stay behind, then he took out two silver ingots of ten taels each from his small pocket.

"Give these silver coins to your family. You may not see them again in the future because of the difference between immortals and mortals."

Jin Doudou took it carefully and said, "Thank you, Immortal, but can I give this money to someone else?"

Before the young Taoist priest could say anything, Yang Mancang and his wife, who were standing outside the stage, became anxious and rushed over, each holding a child.

The stepmother was furious. "You little bitch, you took the silver and wanted to give it to others! I knew you were not a good person! Why didn't you die earlier? Why are you still alive?"

The Taoist in green robe was unhappy. With a snap, the stepmother was frozen in place, leaving only her eyeballs moving around, looking both terrified and amused.

Everyone watching was amazed, and the audience was buzzing with activity.

Father Yang no longer dared to scold, but glared at Jin Doudou fiercely, "Xiao Cao! Give me the silver!"

Jin Doudou shook his head timidly but firmly.

The Taoist in green robe was confused, "Are they your parents?"

Jin Doudou's eyes were filled with tears. "He is my father, but she is my stepmother."

The man in green robe understood and didn't ask any more questions. But then Jin Doudou reached out and said, "Immortal, could you please change this silver into small change for me? I want to share it with the neighbors who feed me."

Although the man in green robe thought it was troublesome, he agreed. After all, as long as he had spiritual roots, it might be useful in the future. Besides, it was just a small matter.

Jindoudou got what he wanted and exchanged it for a big handful of silver coins. Jindoudou held it in his clothes and was very happy.

He gave the fruit he had been holding to the young Taoist priest in green robes, "Thank you, Immortal! This is the fruit I picked in the back mountain. You've been tired all day. Eat some fruit to quench your thirst!"

Although the Taoist in green robe looked down on these things, he still accepted them with great pleasure. He was indeed tired after working for a long time, and this was the first one who understood.

"Well, you're quite sensible. Here, eat this! If this wound bleeds any more, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to the sect."

The Taoist priest in green robes gave her a broken black pill. Jin Doudou gratefully accepted it and swallowed it. The wound was visibly healing, and the itchiness was gone. She also felt less dizzy. "Thank you, Immortal! I will repay you in the future!"

The Taoist in green robe was willing to give it to her because, firstly, they were from the same sect, and secondly, the child was grateful, so he would not lose out.

Smiling and waving his hands, he said, "You go first!"

Holding the change, Jin Doudou found the neighbors in the paddock who gave her steamed buns, leftovers, and old clothes. She kowtowed to every household and gave them money.

He made many people's eyes red. What a good child.

Finally, Jin Doudou found the village chief again and said, "Grandpa Village Chief, Xiaocao passed away today. Thank you for your care in the past."

"I want to give you these five taels of silver to help take care of the children in the village who have no food to eat."

The village chief was very proud at this time, this is the future immortal!

He immediately agreed with a smile, "Okay, it's my duty. Grandpa thanks you." He reached out to take the silver, feeling very happy.

There were still two taels of Jindoudou left, so she came back and stuffed them into Yang Mancang's pockets. Yang Mancang was furious and reached out to hit her.

A group of people gathered around and stopped Yang Mancang, "How dare you hit someone! Didn't you see the blood all over the child's face! It's true that if there's a stepmother, there's a stepfather!"

"That's right, you're such a piece of shit! The kid gave you money and you still hit him!"

"Try hitting one!"

"..."

Yang Mancang was furious. He held his son in one hand while being stopped by the villagers with the other hand. He was shaking with anger and said, "You little bitch, how dare you give my money to others! Why don't you die sooner!"

"So, you let Yao Dahua beat me to death in the back mountain? Why do you hate me so much?" Jin Doudou asked calmly.

The surroundings fell silent for a moment, then suddenly exploded into a buzzing discussion.

"You, what are you talking nonsense about?"

"I'm not talking nonsense!"

"Today, the immortals came to select children with spiritual roots. I was about to go and try, but Yao Dahua clamored for me to chop wood, and then she quietly followed me."

"This wound was left by her hitting me on the head with a stick!"

"She saw me bleeding and thought I was dead, so she ran back."

"Originally, I thought she just didn't want me to live, but it turns out you don't want me to live either."

"Oh, this silver is my last filial tribute. I have never eaten or used anything at home since I was a child. Instead, I have done a lot of work. This is enough for me."

"I will never bother you again." Jin Doudou said with tears in her eyes, kneeling down and kowtowed to Yang's father, whose face flushed red.
