The long road to immortality is missing you

"My head hurts..." Xi Yuan murmured such a sentence, turned over, and the bed board under him creaked.

Xi Yuan was about to continue to sleep, but suddenly he felt a jolt, sensing something was wrong, opened his eyes suddenly, and sat up from the bed.

The first thing that catches the eye is the ceiling covered with cobwebs.The room is not big, there is a dilapidated wooden table and two wooden chairs by the window.There was a burnt-out oil lamp on the table, and a few broken baskets and a wooden broom stood in the corner.

Xi Yuan was still a little puzzled, and thought to himself: "I remember that I was in my bathroom before I fell into a coma. Why did I come to such a strange place when I woke up?"

While thinking about this, suddenly the dilapidated door was pushed open with a "bang".

"Little brat, what time are you still sleeping? You don't sleep in the middle of the night, and you mess up the yard like that and don't clean it up. Get up quickly, and go to the market to set up a stall—"

Xi Yuan followed the prestige, and saw the man at the door, about 50 years old, extremely thin, with wrinkles all over his face, and a large area of ​​baldness on the top of his head.A gray cloth with many patches, sleeves rolled up to the elbow, wearing a pair of worn cloth shoes.

At this moment, when the man saw Xi Yuan who was sitting on the bed without moving, he immediately became angry: "You little bastard, are you stupid?"

Xi Yuan saw that the man picked up the wooden broom in the corner and jumped off the bed like a carp, but the moment he landed, his body became unstable and he wanted to lean to the side.

At this time, he also realized that something was wrong. His body seemed to be that of a child, so that he had to look up at everything now.

When Xi Yuan was trying to adjust the angle of view, suddenly, the broom flew past his ears with a gust of sharp wind, and hit the bed board, making a muffled sound.

Xi Yuan didn't think too much about it at the moment, he didn't want to be beaten for nothing, so he let go of his short legs and ran straight towards the wide open door.

"Damn boy—where are you going? Come back—"

The man's loud voice came from behind, and Xi Yuan ran out of the room and into the messy yard.Xi Yuan accidentally stepped on something soft.

Xi Yuan was startled, looked down, and saw a fat hen in front of him, followed by three chicks, looking at him curiously.And the lump of black thing under his feet was undoubtedly the masterpiece of those chickens.

With this dazed effort, the man behind him also followed with a wooden broom.The man raised the broom and swung it at his back.

Xi Yuan suddenly forgot to dodge, felt the blow on his back, and immediately exclaimed "Ah yo".

The man threw the broom aside, and raised his hand to grab Xi Yuan's shoulder. Xi Yuan was stunned, and quickly spread his legs and rushed to the gate not far away.

"Who is this old man? Why did he come up here to beat me? What's all this mess?" Xi Yuan was thinking as he walked around the hen and the three chicks and rushed out of the gate.

Outside the door was a narrow alley, along which Xi Yuan ran forward.Along the way, he didn't look at the road, and turned when he saw a turning.After running for a while, the small body became tired and out of breath.

Finally, the footsteps of the old man behind him gradually disappeared, and Xi Yuan couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

He found a corner and squatted down, rested for a while, and at the same time looked around.

I saw that I was in a small market, and I heard the cries of vendors from time to time.The low-rise houses on both sides are closely arranged, and most of the pedestrians coming and going are dressed in simple long gowns, and occasionally a few people in luxurious clothes pass by.

It was early morning at this time, but the small market was very lively.Xi Yuan walked back and forth in the small market several times, and gradually an idea came to his mind.

"Could it be... am I reborn in ancient times? I just don't know what dynasty this is? Where is this place? Who is my body now? Looking at the buildings and people's clothes here, it should be after the Tang and Song Dynasties of it?" Xi Yuan thought in his heart.

While walking along the street, Xi Yuan was thinking to himself, but he didn't pay attention all of a sudden, and bumped into an aunt carrying a vegetable basket, and a few radishes and vegetable leaves in the basket fell out.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to—" Xi Yuan said hastily, squatting down to help her pick up vegetables.

But the old lady looked him up and said, "Isn't this Xi Yuan? I haven't seen him for a few years, and he's grown so tall."

As soon as Xi Yuan heard the aunt call out his name, there was a "boom" in his head, his hands trembled, and the radish and vegetable leaves he had just picked up almost fell again.

"Auntie, do you know me?" Xi Yuan asked curiously as he handed over the radish and vegetable leaves.

"Yuanyuan, I'm your Aunt Liu. I hugged you when you were just born. The last time I saw you, you were only five years old, so little. I haven't seen you for three or four years. It's so tall. Look at the eyebrows and eyes, they are carved out of the same mold as your parents—"

Aunt Liu took Xi Yuan's hand affectionately, looked him up and down, and praised him full of praise, but suddenly realized that he had said something wrong, and hurriedly shut up.

Xi Yuan also grinned the corners of his mouth and smiled, but his heart was extremely bitter.

"Xi Yuan? My current body is also called Xi Yuan? Hearing what Aunt Liu said, I'm only eight or nine years old now?" Xi Yuan was speechless for a moment. He was almost 25 in modern times.It's nothing more than rejuvenation, but it's just a coincidence that even the names are the same.

"Wait, there seems to be something wrong." Xi Yuan suddenly remembered that he had never had time to read the book "The Long Road to Immortals". He clearly remembered that there was also a cannon fodder male supporting role with the same name as himself.

"No way, is there really such a coincidence in the world?" Xi Yuan shook his head, trying to get rid of this thought from his mind.

Seeing that the expression on Xi Yuan's face changed again and again, Aunt Liu hurriedly asked, "Yuan Yuan, what's the matter with you? Are you feeling unwell? Where's your grandfather?"

Xi Yuan decided to try again, and asked, "Aunt Liu, I'm fine. I had a high fever a while ago, and my head was a little confused from the fever, and I couldn't remember many things clearly. My grandfather... called What's going on?"

Aunt Liu was amused by his words, and said with a smile, "You child, don't you even remember your grandpa? Your grandpa's name is Xi Baile, and it's the famous Xi god in our Cyphilia town."

When Xi Yuan heard this, the smile on his face froze immediately.

"Xi Baile." Xi Yuan silently repeated the name several times in his heart.

It was clearly the beginning of spring at this time, the sun was shining brightly, and there were no clouds in the sky.However, Xi Yuan felt that a huge thunder struck him out of thin air, making him burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.

"Is there a mistake? I was very happy to be able to live again. It doesn't matter if I was reborn in ancient times, or I was reborn as a poor boy. But why did I have to be reborn into a mortal person in a book? Ah!" Xi Yuan complained silently in his heart.

At this moment, a loud roar suddenly sounded from behind, and the two people standing there shrank in unison.

"Xi Yuan! You bastard, I caught you—" It was Xi Baile who came.

Xi Yuan was in a bad mood, and was about to run away in a hurry, but at this time, Xi Baile didn't give him a chance to slip away, and reached out and grabbed his arm.

"Bastard, can't you run away? Look at the good things you did last night—" Xi Baile's eyebrows were tightly knit together, holding the little Xi Yuan with one hand, and raising the broom to him with the other Hit the ass.

Seeing this scene, Aunt Liu hurriedly stood in the middle of the two of them, persuading him, "Uncle Xi, Yuan Yuan is still a child, so speak slowly if you have anything to say, what if you get hurt? His deceased parents are just He's an only child..."

Seeing this scene, Xi Yuan hurriedly followed Aunt Liu's words, blinked a few times, squeezed out a few tears, and showed the appearance of admitting his mistake, saying: "Grandpa, Yuan Yuan was wrong, I shouldn't have played like crazy yesterday, I Let's go back with grandpa to clean the courtyard and the room."

When Xi Baile heard this, the anger between his brows shrank a little, his tone softened, and he loosened his grip on Xi Yuan's arm, and said, "That's about the same. We'll talk about cleaning the courtyard in the evening. Now, you kid, let me talk to you first." Go see the stall."

Just as Xi Yuan was about to speak, Aunt Liu said in surprise, "Uncle Xi, Yuan Yuan is so young, you're going to let him watch the stall?"

Xi Baile glanced at Xi Yuan, and said: "When the child is his age, he will already be selling things for the elders in the family. This brat, who is ignorant all day long, is going to die of anger!"

Aunt Liu burst into laughter when she heard the words, and said, "Hearing what you said, I think Yuan Yuan's temperament is really cute."

Xi Baile pointed at Xi Yuan, and said, "Look at the girl Yun'er in the pastry shop next door. She has a good appearance and personality. There is nothing to say about her. When the little girl was about his age, she could help the family with a lot of work. The kid knows how to make trouble every day!"

After a while, Xi Baile looked at the sky, and hurriedly said: "Forget it, it's getting late, let's talk again at another time, now we have to hurry up and set up a stall."

"Wait? A stall? Could it be...a divination stall?" Xi Yuan was shocked in place.

Aunt Liu smiled and said, "Okay then, I just have to go back, so let's talk another day." After speaking, she straddled the basket and left.

Xi Yuan was dragged by Xi Baile's arm, and reluctantly walked behind him.Many pedestrians and vendors along the way recognized Xi Baile and greeted him one after another, but very few people recognized Xi Yuan.

"Uncle Xi, you're only here today." When the grandfather and grandson passed a candied haws stall, the stall owner, Uncle Chen, asked.

He suddenly saw Xi Yuan following behind Xi Baile, and he couldn't help but light up, "Who is this little doll? He is so handsome, with fair complexion, and a face like a crown of jade, especially with those peach blossom eyes. When he grows up, he must be a Handsome son!"

Xi Baile introduced: "Yes, I just came here at this time today. This is my grandson, and I took him to the market on the first day to look at the stalls."

Xi Yuan was stunned when he heard Uncle Chen's words. He looked down at the rags he was wearing, and was speechless in his heart: "It seems that I haven't seen my current appearance since I was reborn. Before I heard from Chen Liu that the appearance is not too bad."

Xi Yuan followed his grandfather and continued to walk forward, and finally stopped in front of a stall at the end of the street.

I saw a black flag on a white background standing in front of the booth, with the words "Bai Le Suan Gua" written on it.There is a small table and a seat at the back, and there are a lot of miscellaneous things on the table.

The most conspicuous thing is a round brass divination plate, which occupies almost half of the table. There is a divination box in the upper right corner, with several yellow paper charms pressed on it, and a few white papers under the divination plate.

Looking at the pastry shop next door was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. Seeing Xi Baile and Xi Yuan approaching, she smiled softly at them and said, "Old man Xi, are you back?"

Xi Baile smiled and said: "Yes, girl Yun'er, thank you for helping us look at the stall for so long."

Yun'er lowered her eyes and said, "You're welcome."

Xi Yuan saw that Yun'er was wearing bright yellow clothes, with a small oval face that was rosy, and her facial features were extremely delicate, and he praised in his heart: "Sure enough, the beauty is among the people!"

Thinking of this, Xi Yuan subconsciously walked to Yun'er's pastry stand, pretending to lower his head to choose pastry, but glanced at Yun'er frequently from the corner of his eyes, and said, "Sister Yun'er, my name is Xi Yuan, sister, you call me Yuan Yuan That's good! By the way, what do you usually like to do?"

Hearing this, Xi Baile was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him immediately. After he had just sat down, he immediately stood up and said angrily: "You son of a bitch, what are you talking about? Come back, don't interfere with other people's business—"

Xi Yuan didn't take it seriously, and said, "Grandpa, they are all doing business, and the stalls are still next to each other. Shouldn't we get closer? What's more, I am taking care of Miss Yun'er's business, how could it be a hindrance?" ?”

"You—" Xi Baile's eyebrows were tightly knit together again, but he didn't know what to say, so he sighed and sat down again.

Xi Yuan turned his eyes back, looked at Yun'er who bowed his head with a smile, picked up a piece of mung bean cake, and asked, "Miss Yun'er, how do you sell this mung bean cake?"

"Two pennies a piece." Yun'er said with downcast eyes.

"Okay, I want a piece." Xi Yuan directly stuffed the mung bean cake in his hand into his mouth, rolled his eyes, and had an idea in his mind.

"Sister, I don't have any money now, why don't I make a fortune for you?" Xi Yuan said with a smile, blinking his eyes.

"This..." Yun'er was at a loss, she had never encountered such a situation, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Stinky boy, can you tell fortunes? You took advantage of others at a young age, how can you do it when you grow up? You come back to me—" Xi Baile suddenly became angry again, "And I, Xi Baile, can't follow the divination no matter what. A piece of mung bean cake is equal—"

"Grandpa, you are wrong again. What I said was that I would do a fortune-telling for Sister Yun'er, not Grandpa. It's my first fortune-telling after all, so I'm sure I can't compare to Grandpa—" Xi Yuan shook his head and said.

"This... I don't need it, it's just a piece of mung bean cake. We are not short of two pennies, so it doesn't matter if we don't pay..." Yun'er said.

"How can this work? Cannibalism is short-mouthed and soft-hearted. I can't eat other people's things for nothing." Xi Yuan shook his head and said.

Xi Baile was really at a loss, he rummaged through his pockets for a long time, took out two Wen, threw it over, and prepared to settle the bill for that brat Xi Yuan.

But Xi Baile accidentally used too much force, and the two cents flew straight forty to fifty feet away, and threw it at the feet of a man in white.
