Thanks for the invitation: In ancient times, people shared children

"You useless fellow! If you don't even eat what's right in front of you, what do you need us for? Just give us a bowl each and send us away!"

The little wolf cursed angrily.

The child said cowardly: "Why do you need a bowl?"

"What for?" the little wolf said coldly with a sharp laugh, "I'm going to go through a fire ring, walk on stilts and beg for food! If my master doesn't live up to his expectations, I have to rely on myself!"

Qiu Xin: "That's a good idea. Sister Wolf, take me with you. I can use the ghost blindfold to trick people into coming here, and then give me a little of their soul."

"Good brother, you are the one who deserves the honor."

One wolf and one ghost, they sang in unison and were almost sworn brothers.

The child said with a sheepish look on his face: "We should be reasonable. That's someone else's property."

"What other people's stuff?! It's obviously the toad's stuff. It can't take care of it, so what's wrong with us taking care of it for it? Wait until I take a couple of bites, and then I'll have my own reasons to explain to it. By then, not only will it be willing to use the toad's butt as a spittoon, but it will also be willing to use it as a spittoon! If you don't believe me, just try it!"

"This is not good, and Fuda will not..." agree.

Before the child finished speaking, the toad sitting in her arms nodded and made a gesture of putting something into its mouth, measuring a little bit with its paw. Afraid that the child didn't understand, it did it several times.

Fu Da: Sure, eat it, a little bit.

Child: I'm so stupid... I don't understand it at all.

Little Wolf: "The real owner has agreed, what else do you have to say! Oh, hey, that toad, why don't you just call it back?"

Fu Da slowly fell back into the child's arms and wiped his head weakly.

Child: "What does that mean? It's too tired?"

"It's too weak." Qiu Xin said lazily.

Little Wolf kindly explained, "Just like the two of us, there's a huge difference in strength. If I were to betray you, injure you, and take the Soul Banner, even with the power of the contract, you might not be able to call me back.

The same goes for Toad. That Broken Flower is both its mount and its magical weapon. It's more powerful than it is and has its own ideas. If it runs away, it will be difficult to find it."

Fu Da nodded.

Qiu Xin said disdainfully, "Kid, stay away from it. You're not smart to begin with, and this toad is too stupid. What if it makes you even dumber?"

"That's right," Little Wolf agreed. "It would be fine if the weapon was stronger than oneself when it was obtained, but I've never seen anyone make the weapon stronger than oneself, and...

The flower lost its roots and should have died, but it survived. This couldn't be a simple refining process, it was probably the most stupid fate-sharing pact..."

According to the little wolf.

As the name suggests, a contract of living and dying together is a contract where one person lives and dies together. If one person lives, the other can live too, and if one person dies, the other will die too. There is no solution, and once it is made, the two will be entangled together for the rest of their lives, unlike other contracts.

If one side dies, the other side will at most become a little weaker, and everything will be the same after that.

"I wonder if the flower knows about this?" The little wolf's tone was a little gloating.

Toad nodded and sighed.

It means it knows.

"It didn't come back even though it knew it was there. It seems like it really wants to leave..."

The child sighed, and the toad took his handkerchief and wiped his tears.

She persuaded him, "Don't be sad, spring is here and the flowers are about to bloom. I'll take you to find another one that will like you."

The toad looked at her, twisted his body, and cried even harder.

Children have never encountered such a thing and cannot truly understand it.

The little wolf understood its feelings at the moment: "Don't try to persuade it, it's useless. It's just like those sword cultivators who value their swords as their lives. Just destroying their weapons is like losing their parents or loved ones. They fight to the death and sacrifice too much. It's too much to let go."

Child: "Have you ever seen a sword cultivator?"

"Yeah, it's quite chewy, and the taste is second only to the body-training ones."

Little Wolf missed it very much.

Child:……

I didn't let it eat anything, but I don't feel guilty at all.

The little wolf knew what she was thinking without even looking closely, and said disapprovingly, "Why are you so silent? It's as if you guys don't have enough meat to eat."

If the little wolf were to say, it's a matter of each person's ability. Everyone eats us, and we eat everyone. What's wrong with that?

Just like it, it was imprisoned in a banner because it was not as skilled as others. Now it accepts that it is more miserable than being in jail.

Child: "Yeah, that's true, but I'm a human being. It's normal for me not to like seeing monsters eating people. Just follow me and don't think about it."

"Is that broken flower also a human?" the little wolf asked back.

Child:……

“It can talk.”

"What about the toad?" the little wolf asked again.

"It can gesture." the child answered again.

Xiaolang suddenly sneered, and Qiu Xin tried to smooth things over by saying, "Let's go. That's just how she is. She's partial."

"I don't have any!" The child stubbornly refused to admit it. After thinking for a moment, he said, "How about I ask Aunt Yu to buy you some meat tomorrow?"

"Alive?" asked the little wolf.

Child: "It's better to give it to someone dead. If you give it to someone alive, I might not want to give it to you anymore."

The little wolf was really angry. After a long while, he finally said, "Forget about it if it's under 200 pounds. It's not even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth."

"That's a pig," the child hesitated. "Okay, I'll buy it for you, but don't tell Aunt Yu."

She also had a gold ingot given to her by Zhang Fengci at that time. The rest were exchanged for silver, which she either left on the stall or kept with Aunt Yu.

The little wolf didn't want to pay attention to the person who barked when he heard it talking, so naturally he wouldn't say anything.

Qiu Xin was not very satisfied, as he didn't want to eat meat.

The child said that he would light some incense and candles worth a lot of money, and then make an memorial tablet for him, and he would be satisfied.

Only Fuda was still sad, but the child didn't want to care about it and couldn't think of a good solution.

The golden lotus would rather die than surrender, but if it died, Fu Da would not be able to survive. It was hard to say whether something would go wrong if it was snatched back by force. The Sun family would have worked in vain. Although she didn't like those people at all, she couldn't steal the "treasure pot" that made others money.

So let’s leave it like this for now.

There is always another way. The Sun family has golden lotus flowers, and she also has lotus roots.

The lotus roots grown from golden lotus seeds probably taste similar.

The child took greater care to grow the lotus roots, and did not forget what he had promised Xiaolang and Qiu Xin. Although Aunt Yu discovered this, she still did it.

After a few days of nagging, I felt better.

Business is still the same, very quiet. I have barely managed to get a few regular customers and I can't make much money.

Fortunately, the children had a share of the vegetable garden at Eunuch Zhang's house. Once the vegetables came out and the beauty grass grew, the children's business would be a little better.

When she sent the vegetables to Wang Ling, Eunuch Zhang also gave her some money for running errands, so she could get by even though she was a little poor.

The real improvement came after Waiya's letter came. Along with the letter came some remains, which were much dirtier and messier than last time. Many of them didn't even have souls, and they had to rely on other ghosts to identify them.

But this time I gave money.

Waiya said it was the general who paid for it, so she shouldn't have worked in vain...

She made a small profit. She could have earned more, but some of the places she went to were far away, or she had to hire a horse to get there because she had moved.

The stall was entirely supported by Aunt Yu. She was so busy that she accidentally sprained her ankle again. This time it was a bit serious. The doctor said that if it sprained again, it might be broken. She took care of it for a long time, and all the money was spent on renting a horse, medicine and bone soup.

Fortunately, I am better now and have some savings.
