The Bloody Taoist
Chapter 5: Salesian Bureau
Half a month later, Southern Chu Kingdom, Xianshan County, Salesian Bureau
The crisp autumn air comes at noon
At this time, Zuo Yinyang was being supported by two children, one large and one small, walking slowly around the wall.
These two people were the two children who were rescued with him.
Zuo Yinyang in this world has the same name and surname as Zuo Yinyang in the previous life. They were born on the same month and day, but they are younger. They just turned fifteen this year.
Because he was chosen as a sacrifice by an evil witch, his whole family was killed by the evil witch. His parents ran an inn in the west of the city, but they have not returned yet because of his health.
One of the children, named Su Li, was born with a disease in his left leg and was lame. He was only nine years old. He had a close relationship with Zuo Yin and Yang.
Because his family has been a servant of the Zuo family since his grandfather's generation, he grew up in the Zuo family inn since he was a child, and now he has been chosen as a sacrifice and became an orphan.
Although Su Li is still a child, he is already quite sensible. At this time, he has been following Zuo Yinyang step by step, taking care of his daily life. Now Zuo Yinyang is his only support.
The other older child has no official name and no age. Although he is in good health, he is slightly stupid and others call him "silly dog".
According to the investigation by the city officials, we only know that he was adopted by an old beggar when he was young. We don’t know who his parents are or how old he is. He seems to be about twelve or thirteen years old.
He was also taken away as a sacrifice, and the old beggar was also killed by the evil witch.
Because he was a little stupid, there were always other children playing tricks on him in the Salesian Center. Zuo Yinyang bumped into him several times and helped him out. After all, most children would be afraid of Zuo Yinyang now because of his appearance.
Now he also knows to follow Zuo Yinyang so that no one will bully him.
The Salesian Bureau is an agency set up by the Southern Chu State to adopt orphans.
Because the Southern Chu State has strong national power and rich products, and the contemporary monarch Mi Qiuhua is quite wise. He has been in power for more than ninety years. Although there are some minor mistakes, the overall situation is still prosperous. There are not many people in the Salesian Bureau on weekdays. He is a marginal character, so there is only one steward named Liu Yiwen who is from the ninth grade.
But a few days ago, a group of evil witches used unknown means to kidnap the granddaughter of the law enforcement elder of the Shangqing Sword Sect.
This Shangqing Sword Sect is a righteous giant in Zhongzhou, with influence covering more than ten nearby countries. After the incident, a massive amount of manpower and resources were mobilized, and it took several months to finally find out the whereabouts of this group of people.
After learning that they had fled to the Black Cloud Mountain on the border of the Southern Chu State, they organized a large-scale mountain search operation in conjunction with the Yunwu Sect behind the Southern Chu State and local practitioners. Many demons and ghosts hiding in the mountains were implicated, and countless The underground forces were uprooted.
At the same time, during this raid, many monks and mortals were rescued. Among them, the rescued orphans were uniformly sent to the Salesian Bureau for resettlement. Suddenly, the orphanage, which was originally relaxed and leisurely, was suddenly overcrowded.
As the number of people increases, fights between right and wrong also follow. These children have little control to begin with, and now it is even more exaggerated. The older ones bully the younger ones, and the old people make things difficult for the newcomers. Things happen from time to time.
Zuo Yinyang, because of his special body shape and the thinking of an adult, has used some tricks several times, and now no one in the Salesian Bureau dares to mess with him.
Now, Zuo Yinyang has sorted out the information about the remaining souls in his mind, and through insinuating others, he has a general understanding of his situation.
In this new world, the language and characters are roughly the same as those in the previous world, and the overall situation is similar to that of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the previous world.
However, there are many forces and countless countries, big and small, and there should be shadows of practicing families or sects behind the countries.
There are many strange cultivators in this world, and ordinary mortals can see them in daily life. Many children even describe that some large villages have goddesses and witches who can subjugate demons and eliminate ghosts.
According to the description of certain novels read by Zuo Yinyang in his previous life, this is a standard world of spiritual cultivation where immortality flourishes.
But when I recalled the time when I was rescued, the red lips and sharp teeth in the palm of the man named Wu, and the twins whose arms had grown longer, I vaguely felt that the world was not that simple.
He is now from Xianshan County, Southern Chu State. Although he already knows his general life experience, he only has scattered fragments of other memories of his original body. He has no memory of why he was arrested or what happened after he was arrested.
He has been pretending to have amnesia these days. It was probably because the yamen officer who sent him here had told him that the managers and mothers of the Salesian Bureau did not dare to embarrass him. Instead, they took good care of him and gave him plenty of food every day. Several copies were arranged.
At this time, the children had just had lunch, and Zuo Yinyang dragged his fat body around slowly with the support of the two of them.
However, he is not as weak as he appears. As Old Wu said, now he is full of energy and blood and his soul is tenacious.
His body seems to be abnormally fat, but the muscles hidden under the sebum are extremely developed and thick, and even the bones are far denser than ordinary people.
At this time, Zuo Yin Yang was concentrating on adjusting his body. He slowly controlled every muscle in his body to contract and expand rhythmically, causing his heart to beat quickly and powerfully, blood to flow quickly, and all the pores on his body to open as much as possible, and even His internal organs were squirming regularly under his control.
To outsiders, he was breathing heavily and panting, as if he was struggling to move his heavy body.
In a moment, sweat soaked through the clothes, and there were even water stains under the feet.
The fat in his body is being consumed rapidly, and his body is much thinner than in previous days.
Zuo Yinyang walked slowly around the wall for about half an hour. He felt that his body had reached its limit and the soreness in his muscles had reached its maximum. He breathed heavily and felt a faint tingling sensation in his lungs.
He knew it was time to stop and rest. Continuing would be detrimental to his health. As the saying goes, too much is never enough.
He stopped and said to the two of them: "Okay, let's stop for a while. I'll take a rest."
After hearing this, Xiao Suli stopped in a hurry, pulled off the towel on his shoulder with one hand, wiped the sweat from Zuo Yinyang's head, and then limped into the house and dragged out a long bench and put it behind Zuo Yinyang. , pointed, "Master, sit down."
"Let's sit together." Zuo Yinyang said to the two of them.
Su Li heard this and waved his hand quickly.
After spending half a month together, Zuo Yinyang understood what he meant.
"You are the young master and I am the servant. I can just stand."
Zuo Yinyang smiled and didn't force it anymore.
According to the rules here, little Suli will become a servant of the Zuo family when he grows up. The distinction between master and servant is a rule in the bones of people in this world, and it is difficult to change at a time.
The silly dog on the other side also shook his head: "I won't sit down, Master will sit down." As he spoke, he took out a piece of flour cake from his arms and handed it to Zuo Yin and Yang like a treasure, "Master, eat the cake, it's delicious! It's delicious!" "
Zuo Yinyang waved his hands and said with a smile: "I can't eat anymore, you can eat it!"
Shagou handed the cake to Su Li again: "Brother Li, eat the cake, it's delicious! It's delicious!"
Su Li stood behind Zuo Yinyang with his hands down and shook his head.
Seeing that neither of them wanted to eat, the silly dog happily took it back, only tore off a small piece of pie crust, and stuffed the rest of the pie back into his arms.
Hold the small piece of pie crust with both hands and put it into your mouth bit by bit, as if it were some delicacy.
"Silly dog, now my body is slowly recovering and I can move around freely, so I don't want to stay here anymore. I plan to go to Manager Liu in two days to explain that I want to take Su Li home!"
Zuo Yinyang looked at the silly dog and continued: "After we leave, you have to make plans early. After all, this Salesian Bureau does not support idle people. I heard that after three months, you older children will have nowhere to go, but you will have to go to the border town to serve." "Corvee."
When Shagou heard Zuo Yinyang's words, he was stunned for a moment, his eyes became dim, and he slowly put down the dough in his hand. He lowered his head and whispered: "Silly Gou, I don't know."
The Salesian Bureau usually registers the adopted orphans and raises them until they are twelve years old at most. During this period, it would be nice if someone could adopt them or find a way out.
If there is no place to go, most of them will be used as a filler population and sent to other places to work as laborers and develop the borders.
Although this is a way out, the borders of Nanchu are generally old mountains and forests that are densely populated with poisonous insects and filled with miasma.
Because such places are sparsely populated, demons and evil ways are often rampant, ghosts and beasts are rampant, and various supernatural events often occur. Although there are monks from the court to follow and protect the law, mortals have no power after all, and even ordinary beasts can kill them.
Most of the people who are willing to go are desperate criminals and knights-errants, or desperadoes who want to make a fortune. It is difficult for ordinary people to come back alive from these places.
Shagou is a bit stupid and no one is willing to adopt him. He is not young, and even the beggars on the street don't want him. He doesn't have more property or a place to go than Zuo Yinyang and Su Li. Naturally, he has only one way, that is Go to do corvee service.
Seeing him like this, Zuo Yinyang even forgot to eat the noodles. He didn't want to provoke him anymore, and said slowly: "If you are willing, I can also explain to Manager Liu that you voluntarily sold yourself to the Zuo family as a slave, and followed How about we leave together?"
When Silly Dog heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up again, he grinned and clapped his hands and cheered: "Okay, good slave, good master, please give me some cake!"
Su Li behind him also laughed.
In fact, Zuo Yin Yang also has some selfish motives.
First of all, this stupid dog is young and really pitiful. It will be difficult for him to survive if he goes to do corvee labor.
Secondly, there is no one at home, only an inn, and the servant Su Li is too young, so the two of them may not be able to keep the family property. It is always better to have one more person.
Third, after getting along with Shagou in the past few days, Zuo Yinyang helped him several times, and he always got rewards, which shows that his character is not bad.
In the end, after all, there was a feeling of adversity. Taking this into consideration, Zuo Yinyang decided to take the silly dog away!
After a few days, Zuo Yinyang actually knew that Shagou wanted to follow him. Yesterday, he proposed to the manager Liu Yiwen the idea of taking Shagou away. After hearing this, Manager Liu agreed wholeheartedly.
In the past half month, Manager Liu and the old ladies have been extremely enthusiastic about Zuo Yin Yang, giving him priority in all matters big and small.
He had no worries about food and drink every day, and even prepared a small room for him alone.
Zuo Yin Yang was fostered by the evil witch and had a huge appetite. Although he tried his best to control it, he still needed three or four adults' meals every day. Not only was Zuo Yin Yang completely satisfied, he was even able to provide meat once a day.
And according to his request, he arranged for the little boy Su Li to serve him together with this silly dog, treating him as a young master in trouble.
Zuo Yinyang enjoys preferential treatment and usually makes insinuations. Although Manager Liu's words are vague, he probably understands the reason in his heart.
When Sun Wenshu sent them here that day, Zuo Yinyang was not completely asleep, but secretly heard his instructions to Manager Liu.
"The case of the evil witch in Tianwu Mountain has not yet been resolved. Take good care of this fat baby and don't neglect him. He will be useful later."
