Chapter 2 Picking up two girls

　　A youth with two moustaches had a flash of light in his eyes and said smilingly, "It looks like this merchant has something extraordinary." 　　White feather dust nodded recognition said: "Just now I walked on the street, heard a hawking, the voice although tender but full of joy, the street sellers are in order to survive and run around, day after day hawking, the voice has long been tired and dull, will not have such a light sound. 　　I was curious to look at, see a dress strange people sitting on the side of the road selling pig teeth, face relaxed eyes with a smile, curious to survey the surrounding, full of spirituality." 　　The woman said with a sudden realization, "Senior brother is aroused by the love of talent and intends to enroll him in the academy." 　　Bai Yuduan said, "I originally intended to take in a book boy, but after some conversation I realized that he already has a sect." 　　The woman smiled and said, "Then senior brother is disappointed?" 　　Bai Yuduan said gruffly, "Whether or not to accept a book boy is a small matter, but you should all know what's in the mountains outside of the city, and now that a sect has suddenly appeared nestled amongst them, I'm afraid that it's not coming from a good place!" 　　The remaining few people suddenly remembered something and their faces all changed. 　　The youth stroked his two moustaches and said with all his thoughts, "It doesn't necessarily have to be in the middle of that mountain range!" 　　Bai Yuduan looked at the boar's tusk on the table and said, "With this, I'll be able to probe the origins of that so-called Taoist Sect, and I hope he's not an enemy." 　　The woman said with worry, "He's very powerful?" 　　Bai Yuduan shook his head and said, "No, although I can't tell his cultivation, it shouldn't be very high. 　　It's just that he gives me a very gentle and simple feeling, not a bad person, I hope he's not being utilized by the Evil God." 　　The mention of the Evil God inside the private room was suddenly heavy, a single name brought heavy pressure to the crowd. 　　...... 　　Li Pingan picked his teeth and walked out from inside a restaurant, secretly thinking in his heart, these ten silver beads were worth more than he thought! He only ate half of such a sumptuous meal, and it seems that he had to accept that Bai Yuduan's love. 　　Oooh~ A sobbing sound came faintly from the distance. 　　Pingan Li froze and turned his head to look, only to see two four or five year old girls sobbing in the corner next to him. 　　Pingan Li walked over and squatted down, smiling, "Little sisters, why are you guys crying here? Where are your parents?" 　　A larger little girl looked up and sobbed with tears in her eyes, "Daddy ...... Daddy brought us to the city to play, we were too greedy to play, and Daddy disappeared." 　　Another smaller little girl cried and screamed, "I want daddy, I want daddy, parents, I will never be naughty again." 　　Li Pingan said in a slow comforting voice, "Don't cry, don't cry, I'll find daddy for you alright!" 　　The larger girl looked up and looked at Li Pingan expectantly and said, "Really?" 　　Li Pingan nodded, smiled, rubbed their hair, and said, "Did your dad say where you guys would rendezvous?" 　　The two little girls shook their heads together. 　　Li Pingan asked again, "Then do you know which village you live in?" 　　The larger little girl blurted out, "Dashi Village, our village is called Dashi Village, it's so far from here." 　　"Do you guys know the way?" 　　The two little girls again shook their heads together. 　　Li Pingan continued the question and answer again, "Then did your father leave anything for you?" 　　The larger girl nodded her head repeatedly and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes!" Reaching out, she patted the large bag hanging from her chest and said, "Daddy left something for us in there, saying that when someone is willing to help us they will give this to him." 　　It was only then that Pingan Li noticed that the little girl had a cloth bag hanging on her chest, which she hadn't noticed before when she was squatting with her legs curled up. 　　Pingan Li smiled and said, "Can the bag be shown to me?" 　　The larger little girl nodded her head repeatedly and said, "Yes!" Removing the rope cover of the cloth bag from her neck, she handed it to Li Pingan. 　　Li Pingan took the cloth bag, opened it, and inside were a few large cakes and a piece of linen paper with some words written on it. 　　Li Pingan was instantly confused, the words in this world seemed to be unrecognizable, and the words were scribbled enough, although he did not know the words himself, but he could still roughly tell if they were good or bad, the crookedness was obviously not a master of calligraphy. 　　Li Pingan thought for a moment twisted his head to look at the side of the restaurant, put the paper away and said, "You guys come with me." 　　"Uh!" 　　"Uh-huh!" 　　The two little girls wiped their tears and stood up from the ground. 　　Li Ping An got up and took the two little girls with him, walked into the restaurant and came to the counter and knocked on the counter. 　　Inside the counter, the bookkeeper, who was keeping a low score, raised his head at the sound and said with a smile, "Sir, why are you back again? I didn't give you a wrong account just now." 　　Ping An Li said, "I didn't miscalculate, I wanted to ask you for a favor." 　　The bookkeeper asked strangely, "What favor?" 　　Pingan Li handed the paper in his hand to the bookkeeper and said, "Help me see what's written here? The font is too scribbled and it is really hard to distinguish." 　　The bookkeeper unfolded the paper and took a look at it and said with a smile, "It is indeed ugly enough, not as good as what my son wrote." After looking at it for a while, the bookkeeper's frown became deeper and deeper, and his face showed anger that finally turned into helplessness. 　　The bookkeeper stretched his neck to look at the two little girls in front of the counter and asked, "Sir, where did you meet them?" 　　Li Pingan said, "Just outside the door at the corner, I saw them crying, so I went up and asked them a few questions, and they said they got lost with their father." 　　The bookkeeper shook his head and said, "Not lost." 　　Li Pingan frowned and asked, "Then what is going on?" In his heart, he vaguely guessed, could it be that he was intentionally lost by his parents? In this patriarchal world, this kind of thing was not impossible, which could also explain why they had large cakes inside their cloth bags. 　　The bookkeeper was about to speak, looked at the two little girls in front of the counter in anticipation, walked out of the counter and pulled Li Pingan's dao robe and said, "Sir, let's borrow a step to speak." 　　Li Pingan's heart stirred as he opened his mouth and said gently, "You guys wait here, later I'll take you to your father." 　　Uh-huh~ The two little girls clasped hands, nodded their heads repeatedly as if they were pecking at rice, and relied on Pingan Li to walk towards the side, to them Pingan Li was the deity that appeared in front of them in the midst of despair, bringing hope. 　　Pingan Li followed the bookkeeper to a small room next to the counter. 　　The bookkeeper opened his mouth and said gruffly, "Sir, they are sacrifices." 　　Li Pingan's head was confused and he exclaimed, "Sacrifices?" 　　The bookkeeper turned his head to look at the two little girls outside in pity and said helplessly, "The Cang Barbaric Mountain Range outside of the city stretches for tens of thousands of miles, and there are some villages on the outskirts that rely on hunting and picking medicines to make a living. 　　In order to better survive in the mountains, some villages and monsters reached an agreement to offer monsters to help each other, monsters rely on human offerings to cultivate, the village relies on the monsters to shelter the survival of the monsters, this kind of monsters they called the sacrifice of the spirit, general offerings of the spirit of the sacrifice of the offerings of the spirit of the grass and prey, and so on. 　　But not every sacrificial spirit is benign, there are particularly ferocious sacrificial spirits that pressurize villages to demand sacrifices, not only do they want prey and blood but also boys and girls, and this is the case with them." 　　Li Pingan nodded heavily and said, "And how did they appear in the city?" 　　The bookkeeper said, "It was their parents who could not bear the thought of them falling into the mouths of the elves and monsters, so they secretly brought them into the city and abandoned them in the hope that they would meet a good family to take them in, even if they became slaves, it was still better than dying in the mouths of the elves and monsters."
