Chapter 10 Useless Things Are Wasted
Adjacent to the tributaries of the Fenjiang River, the terrain is low-lying, and there are floods every year. The dams are heightened and thickened every other year, but the silver has been transported to the county and township layer by layer.

"Sister, please do me a favor!"

A child in a patched gown stood in front of her, her face covered with mud. It was late autumn, her clothes were thin, and her exposed arms and calves were red from the cold.

Handing her a piece of silver, Lu Qiyun asked, "Are you from Baijia Village?"

Staring straight at Sui Yin, the child nodded hastily, flattering and fawning: "I know Baijia Village well, sister is here looking for someone?"

"What about your family?"

The child was stunned for a moment, and then said: "My mother died a long time ago. My father and I were washed away by the flood last year. I don't know whether it is dead or alive."

"take it."

The child happily took the broken silver, and looked at her with eager eyes, "Are there any temples and ancestral halls nearby?"

The child thought for a while, "I haven't heard of it. It seems that there is no such thing. Our village is very small, and the adults are all farming, so they don't like those."

Worshiping Buddha and burning incense are things that noble people have time to do. The child was afraid that the broken silver would be confiscated if he could not answer, so he thought for a while and said: "There is one in the Earth Temple, but it has been abandoned for a long time."

After pointing the direction, the child quickly ran away.

With a touch of divine consciousness on the child, Lu Qiyun walked towards the Earth Temple she was pointing at.

Baijia Village was flooded not long ago, and there was still water below the insteps downstream, and most of the grain harvested in the busy year of autumn was soaked in the water.

In order to alleviate the flood, Lin Mingyuan went all the way from the state capital to the county government, and almost rushed to the front line. If he hadn't dispatched manpower to rebuild the dam, far more than Baijia Village would have been flooded.

The child ran back and forth to a room, called "Father" to a middle-aged man, and then gave him the broken silver like a treasure.

"Silver! Where did you get it!"

The man snatched it up, his eyes glowing.

"You can get it on the street."

The child looked at Yinzi reluctantly, "Father, I want Yinzi, can you not sell me?"

Lu Qiyun smiled, withdrew her consciousness, and taught a child to be cheated.

However, she found the Earth Temple that the child mentioned. If she hadn't searched for it deliberately, she would definitely not have recognized the half-person-high brick and stone building in front of her as the Earth Temple.

Half of the top has collapsed, a layer of dirt has accumulated on the red brick surface, and the words "Tiantu Temple" have been weathered to the point where no traces can be seen clearly.

The map on the top of Zangshu Pavilion guides the direction, and Fuzhou is the place where the white tiger seals.

According to the tradition, the gods and beasts are powerful, and they must be guided by temples and shrines. After entering Fuzhou, she saw many Taoist temples and pagodas, and she didn't feel anything abnormal when she tested them with spiritual power.

"Clap."

The crumbling roof tiles fell.

Far away from the Yunlong Mountains, the aura cannot be replenished, and the spiritual energy in the body is used a little less. Can this dilapidated earth temple hold the body of a white tiger?
Lu Qiyun: "..."

With no hope at all, he split out a wave of spiritual power, and when he was about to give up, there was a faint wave that was almost ignored from the ground.

White tiger eyes!

It's really here!

Find the center of the wave, mobilize all the spiritual power in one go, find the eye of the formation, and then...

No then.

Sure enough, it was the inheritance left by Da Neng. Lu Qiyun collapsed exhausted in front of the Earth Temple. The method of breaking the formation was simple and four words, breaking the formation violently.

Apparently, Shi Huang didn't think of a situation that wasn't violent enough.

The cultivation base is too weak to talk about anything.

Lu Qiyun was frustrated for a while.

The autumn rain came quickly and urgently, and the whole body was wet after a while.

Without spiritual power to protect the body, he shivered suddenly, and what made it worse was that he was still hungry.

She could only stare blankly if she continued to stay, and looked helplessly at the Earth Temple, and Lu Qiyun walked towards Baijia Village.

Because of the disaster, those who had relatives went away, and those who stayed in the village had nowhere to go. No one in the village would waste kerosene to light the lamps, and the whole village was pitch black at night.

Do I have to go back to the county seat?

Just as he was thinking, a small patched door next to it was pushed open a crack, and a dark head poked out, trying to discern in the darkness, and tentatively asked: "Sister?"

The world is impermanent, one moment he is a benefactor who does good deeds every day, and the next moment he becomes a drowned chicken taken in by others.

Smiling helplessly, the child took out a lamp out of nowhere, and there was only half of the lamp oil left for her thumb. She carefully placed it on and held it in front of Lu Qiyun, "Light on the lamp, it will be warm."

"There are no suitable clothes at home, so you can wipe the water with cloth towels."

Speaking of this, the child is a little embarrassed, she is more beautiful than sister Yaoyao of the village head's family, and she is also better dressed than sister Yaoyao, and there are few old and gray clothes in the family.

The houses in the front and back rooms are bare, and the roof is still leaking. In the room where the child lives, there is a bed board, a cabinet with a broken leg and no door. After looking at it for a while, Lu Qiyun took the cloth towel that was almost colorless. ,"Thanks."

Two red clouds appeared on the face covered with black mud, "I'm going outside!"

"How is it, Erya?"

The man rubbed his hands and waited outside, "Go and bring that old dress to the little lady, and exchange for more money!"

It's broken silver at the first shot!
He has never touched such a large piece of silver in his whole life, and he doesn't know where Miss Jiao came from their poor village.

Erya was silent.

"Stupid hooves, why are you standing still!"

The man kicks her.

Lu Qiyun was very clear about the movement outside, took out a set of clean clothes from the bracelet and changed on, briefly wiped her hair, and opened the door, "Are you her father?"

Startled by her sharp and cold eyes, the man's legs unconsciously softened, and he stammered: "I'm Er Ya's father."

"Isn't it dead?"

Erya blushed even more, and lowered her head, "I'll go get some water!"

She ran away before she dared to look back.My elder sister was wearing light pink brocade clothes, her figure was graceful, and she looked like she had rolled in the mud, and she lied to her.

"Little lady, where did this come from?"

The man's gaze stuck to her body made her frown in disgust. The man's expression was tentative at first, then urgent, and finally his eyes were full of greedy evil thoughts, "Where did you get your clothes? I didn't see you wearing a burden just now?"

"You're just a child?"

The man was taken aback for a moment, not knowing how she asked about the child in a proper way, but he was so tickled that he hadn't had sex for a long time since his wife died. A bitch, ah-"

The voice stopped abruptly, and the man was kicked hard in the lower abdomen. He clutched his crotch and clamped his legs, his face turned pale from the pain.

"In this case, those useless things should be discarded."

The cold voice was like a devil, the man wanted to curse her, but he groaned in pain.

Er Ya heard the voice and ran out hurriedly, seeing his blood-stained pants, her face was full of shock, "Father!"

She has already lost her mother, if she loses her father again...

When she turned to Lu Qiyun again, her immature face was full of hatred.Lu Qiyun's expression remained unchanged, she took out a bag of silver taels, and said calmly: "Here is enough silver taels for you to live a prosperous life, you can choose to save him, or you can choose to ignore him."

That's her father, how can you ignore him?
Erya stared blankly at the purse in her hand, and suddenly remembered her sallow and emaciated face when her mother passed away.

The mother was starved to death, because the mother was sick, and the family had no money to see a doctor for the mother, and all the money the mother saved was lost by the father in a bet. The father was originally a scholar, but unfortunately he lost all his family wealth and angered his grandfather to death.

The mother had been looking forward to the day when he would become famous, but she didn't wait until she died. The father disliked the uselessness of the mother, disliked her for being a girl, and disliked the sick mother for wasting food, and then the mother died.

After her mother died, she begged everywhere, went to the street to ask for money, was scolded and beaten, and when she was serious, she thought she would die like her mother, but she survived and survived.

If I could get this bag of money earlier, wouldn't my mother die?
