After leaving Phoenix City, Lin Xiu began to head west. The sky was still gloomy and there was no light at all. He saw many pedestrians who were rushing through the night and did not know where to go.
After living in Phoenix City for such a long time, Lin Xiu also knew that it was impossible to change the current environment with just one person's strength. The only thing he could do was to quickly increase his strength. Although he had not recovered his memory, he could feel the endless power in his body and revealed a sincere smile.
The Phoenix City Lord could protect the citizens of the city and not be bullied by others. It was because he had the strength of the Mortal Yuan Realm that Phoenix City was able to stand out among the surrounding cities.
At this moment, Lin Qiu also had some experience. After completely subduing Old Demon Blackheart, Phoenix City would have a greater guarantee of safety. Only then would the leader be able to go on his way with peace of mind. Before leaving, Elder Liu once gave Lin Xiu some silver notes.
But in the end, Lin Xiu still secretly put it back. With his current strength, these money were just worldly possessions and were of no use to him at all. On the contrary, Elder Liu could use this money to make his life better.
After working together in this battle, the relationship between the Phoenix City Lord and the leader was undoubtedly much closer. Before leaving, he even promised Lin Xiu that he would definitely help protect Elder Liu Jin's safety. Apart from that, the Phoenix City Lord also took out a pill that he had kept for a long time and gave it to Lin Xiu, saying that it would help the old man's body to a certain extent.
After dissolving the pill in tea and watching the old man drink it in one gulp, Lin Xiu then set out on his journey. Feeling the breeze on his cheeks, Lin Xiu suddenly felt a little cold.
It had been a long time since the entire world was shrouded in darkness. It was so dark that one couldn't even see their fingers in front of them. There were red torches everywhere, illuminating the small space around them. Many people even fell down while walking. Because there was no food, they could only cry bitterly and silently wait for the arrival of death.
Lin Xiu was getting more and more annoyed as he passed through the dark clouds. If he could not improve the situation, the continent would continue to be like this. Everyone lived precarious lives and even the most basic food and clothing could not be guaranteed. Such days were simply too torturous.
But there were many beautiful things that happened in this world. For example, there was an old couple in a tea house not far in front of Lin Xiu. They were busy and the fragrance of porridge wafted out from the steaming boiler, causing the people nearby to gulp down mouthfuls of saliva.
"Sigh, these days are really too hard to bear. If this continues, there will still be no harvest in the fields. I wonder how many people will become homeless." The old man in linen clothes deftly scooped the porridge into bowls and said to his wife.
"Fortunately, the two of us have nothing to worry about and have accumulated a little over the years. We can contribute our strength to them." The old woman's face shone with happiness. To her, although she did not have any children, marrying an old man was the wisest decision she made in her life.
Thinking about how the two of them met, the old woman still felt a little sweet in her heart. Back then, she was considered a fresh flower in the surrounding villages and had many pursuers. But in the end, she chose the old man not because of his diligence, but because the old man had a shining, pure and kind heart that was like gold.
Life after that did not disappoint the old woman. The two of them had been married for 40 to 50 years, but they had never quarreled. Even when she threw a tantrum, the old man still used love and tolerated her.
He called some passersby who were passing by the tea shop to come in and eat the porridge. Those passersby who were like beggars immediately felt grateful. If it was anyone who was hungry and could get a bowl of fragrant porridge, they would also be filled with gratitude towards the person who provided the porridge.
The porridge that the husband and wife made could not be considered much and was quickly eaten by everyone. However, there were still quite a number of people who did not obtain any food and could only quietly sigh. Upon seeing this situation, the husband and wife exchanged a look with each other. Their hearts felt somewhat uncomfortable. After all, their strength was limited and it was impossible for them to protect everyone in the world.
Due to the absence of the sun's rays, it was still daytime, but the weather was extremely cold. Many people wrapped their clothes tightly around their bodies and exhaled continuously, hoping to bring about a trace of warmth.
Everything that happened below was completely presented in front of Lin Xiu. He suddenly snapped his fingers and a flame appeared on his fingertip.
The flame burned more and more violently and not long after, it became a huge fireball, bringing some warmth to the dark world below.
"Look, it's the sun!"
Many passersby sensed the change in the light and raised their heads one after another. After which, there was an uncontrollable excitement on their faces as they danced for joy. With the existence of the fireball, the chilliness was finally dispelled. Those who had been rushing for an entire day finally fell into a deep slumber.
However, Lin Xiu knew that everything he did could not solve this problem for a long time. The fireball floating in the sky could only last for three days at most before it was exhausted due to the lack of spiritual energy.
He, who had not awakened his memories, did not know how to use the power of creation at all. Thus, he sighed faintly, hid his body, and quietly landed on the ground. He smiled at the couple who were cleaning the dishes.
Looking at the young man in front of them, the couple was a little puzzled. This young man did not look like a person in distress at all. He was dressed in a brand-new robe and his aura was indescribably handsome. This made the two a little puzzled as to why Lin Xiu was here.
Without beating around the bush, Lin Xiu was afraid that the two old people in front of him would think too much. He directly said his purpose of coming, "Hello, two elders. I am a cultivator who was passing by here. Because I saw the good deeds you did below, my heart was moved, so I wanted to pay my respects. If I have disturbed you in any way, please don't blame me."
Hearing that Lin Xiu was a legendary immortal, the couple was a little at a loss and wanted to directly kneel to Lin Xiu. However, how could Lin Ying allow the two old people to kneel to her? She gently waved her hand and a gentle breeze supported the two of them.
Feeling this magical power, the two old people no longer had any doubts about Lin Xiu's identity. They hurriedly brewed a cup of tea and then Lin Xiu sat down at the side.
"Two elders, I don't think the two of you are living a rich life, why are you willing to lend a helping hand to these passers-by?" Lin Xiu went straight to the point and said his purpose of coming. For him, there had always been a voice in his heart as if it was a very urgent matter to figure out this problem.
The two old people looked at each other and a smile appeared on their faces. Then, they gently patted the dust on their bodies and said to Lin Xiu, "In fact, people don't have so many tricks in life. It is an extremely happy thing to be able to live in this world, and the two of us have been together for most of our lives. We have lived enough. After living for so many years, we have always been thinking about what people live for, but we can't find an answer no matter what. Later, when we saw these people fleeing, I discussed with the old man and took out all the food at home and prepared to feed them a bowl of white porridge in the tea house."
After saying this, the old woman held her husband's hand tightly. The two snuggled together, indescribably happy and sweet.
"Young man, there are many things in life that are beyond our control, just like the endless darkness in the sky. This is something that no one wants to see, but what can we do? We can only do a little bit of our own strength to provide some help to those homeless people. " The old man's words were very calm. In his opinion, everything he did was not a big deal at all.
"Elders, perhaps in the eyes of kind-hearted people like you, everything that you have done is something that should be done. However, if there are people who have bad thoughts because of your free porridge and no longer wish to go to other regions, instead squatting in front of the tea stall every day and waiting for your porridge, would that be good or bad?"
Lin Xiu lowered his head and was silent for a while, but he still said the doubts in his heart, but the two old people obviously did not take it to heart and still looked calm.
"The two of us have lived for most of our lives, of course, we understand this truth. Don't worry, these people who get the white porridge also have to pay a certain price. They need to help us wait until the stall is closed, go home, and carry the next batch of food over."
