lucky to meet

The clothes covering his body slipped on the ground, when did he fall asleep?

"Wake up!" Zhou Mingyu extinguished the fire, "You fell asleep holding the kettle yesterday."

"I've been sleeping for so long?" Xia Yi picked up the clothes on the ground, which he put in his bag.

"Ah."

Yesterday they sat on the ground to rest, Xia Yi asked him for a water bottle, drank a few sips, saw him in a daze, after a while, heard a soft snoring sound, Xia Yi fell asleep holding the water bottle .

Maybe it was because he was too tired, Zhou Mingyu called him several times, but he didn't wake up.

"Let's go."

I slept well this time, except for the pain in my feet.Xia Yi ate the fruit and followed behind, looking quite relaxed.

After walking for half an hour, figures appeared in front of them, including men, women, and children. A woman was holding a baby who was several months old, and was sitting there breastfeeding the baby.

Xia Yi walked over and wanted to have a few words with them, but found that they were retreating, surrounded by children and women, with fear in their eyes, haggard face, lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.

Xia Yi froze there, not daring to move, and turned to look at Zhou Mingyu for help.

Zhou Mingyu shook his head and led him away.Xia Yi wanted to ask him, but he stopped him.

They walked in the woods for three days, and he met more than a dozen groups of people during these three days.A few people get together, and a maximum of twenty people get together.

Every group was the same, with fear on their faces, haggard faces, and ragged clothes.Every group of people saw them as if they were seeing demons.

After leaving the woods, Xia Yi lowered her head and followed behind Zhou Mingyu in a depressed mood. They hadn't spoken a few words in the past three days.

The sky began to rain lightly, and soon both of them were soaked through.

Zhou Mingyu stopped, Xia Yi bumped into his back, raised his face, and the rain ran down his cheeks.He raised his hand to wipe his face, collected himself, and passed Zhou Mingyu.

Xia Yi looked at the devastated village, but he couldn't tell that it was a village anymore. There were bombed pits everywhere, and there were traces of the fire. He opened his mouth and couldn't speak for a while.

Zhou Mingyu picked up the broken charcoal on the ground and handed it to him, "Some of the people who took refuge in the woods once lived in this village."

This piece of charcoal should have belonged to a certain house in this village.Xia Yi's voice was hoarse, "Why?"

Zhou Mingyu told about what happened on this plain a few months ago.

A few months ago, a descendant of an aristocratic family in Muhuo City went out with guards. When they passed one of the villages, they accidentally found a small red spot on a small stone that a child was playing with.

It was a red silk crystal.There are very few red silk crystal veins, and the ore produced by each discovered vein is no more than a hundred pieces.But this mine vein is huge, in order to monopolize the mine vein, the aristocratic family made up a lie, gathered the villagers together, and then silenced them.

The news leaked out not long after. There were five families in Woodfire City plus one City Lord's Mansion.

The temptation brought by the red silk crystal is too great.The five groups of people talked for a few days and couldn't reach an agreement, so they fought.The war intensified, and families from other big cities also joined in.

The war spread to more than [-] nearby villages, at least half of the villages were directly destroyed, and none of the villagers escaped.

In the end, the war was suppressed by the Devil Emperor.

"And then? Did the Devil Emperor kill them?" Xia Yi's teeth were trembling, and he felt chills all over his body. He could imagine the fear and helplessness of those villagers.

"Killed a few people."

"That's right, the villagers are just ants to the Devil Emperor." Xia Yi's voice was unsteady, and he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Zhou Mingyu turned around and looked at Xia Yi's profile, "So what if we kill them all."

"Zhou Mingyu, you have been leading me since Tianluo City, and deliberately let me see this, what is there in me that you can use?" Xia Yi faced him head-on, his eyes were full of coldness, coldness There was a hint of fear and despair in my mind.

The rain dripped into his eyes along his eyelashes, and was dripping down his eye sockets.

Xia Yi walked aimlessly. In the last few days of his life in his previous life, he was full of fear of death.He didn't dare to show it in front of his mother, but in the middle of the night, he couldn't control his tears.

Not only the fear of death, but also the deep worry about leaving his mother alone after his death. Even in this life, whenever he thinks of his mother in the previous life, his heart will be pierced like a knife.

The light rain kept falling, and I walked and walked back to the woods.Xia Yi supported a tree to stop, he felt that everything in front of him was getting farther and farther away from him.

Xia Yi had a fever, which lasted for several days.He was not in good health, he had been on the road for the past few days, and he was depressed and drenched in the rain.

Xia Yi woke up and found that she was back at the inn, and Zhou Mingyu was beside her.

How did he come back?Oh, I almost forgot that Zhou Mingyu was a man of cultivation, and returning to the inn was a matter of ease.

After drinking the medicine that Zhou Mingyu handed him, Xia Yi said, "I should go back." He just wants to go home now.

"it is good."

Xia Yi packed up his things and sighed softly. He didn't blame anyone, but he felt very tired.

In the Lord's Mansion of Tianluo City, Chen Yi was sitting in the pavilion making tea, and Xia Yi was sitting opposite him, "Young Master Xia, are you leaving today?"

"homesick."

He was indeed homesick, and missed his mother's fish soup.

Chen Yi saw that his face was not very good, "Okay, I will let the private guards escort you to the border town."

Originally, Xia Yi planned to wait for the caravan to arrive and leave with the caravan.

"Thank you City Lord."

Xia Yi took out the token from his pocket, "City Master, this token has helped me a lot, I don't know how to thank you!"

Chen Yi glanced at the token, confiscated it, and shook his head, "Keep it, thank me, there is no need, people in my demon clan pay attention to doing whatever they want, I just think you are pleasing to the eye."

The two chatted for a few more words, but Chen Yi didn't ask him what he had seen and heard during this time.

Outside the magic city, bid farewell to Yan Gu and boarded the carriage.Zhou Mingyu hadn't appeared since he said the day before yesterday that he should go back.

Xia Yi's brows haven't been stretched since she came back, Sister Mei said distressedly, "Master, what happened?"

She watched this child grow up since he was a child. He is sensible and not worrying. This is the first time she has seen him like this.

Xia Yi half leaned on the back cushion, rubbed the center of her brows, "I'm fine, Aunt Mei, maybe I'm too tired during this time, I'll sleep for a while."

"Okay." Sister Mei felt distressed, she always regarded Xia Yi as her own child.

Seeing that Xia Yi fell asleep, her brows were furrowed, and she stretched out her hand to gently rub the center of his brows. If her child was still alive, she would be two years older than him.

The private guards of the City Lord's Mansion guarded the carriage and appeared outside the border city. Xia Yi thanked the private guards.Without disturbing the shopkeeper of the Xia family in the border city, he returned directly to Ziyang City.

Xia Yi looked at the door of her house, took a few deep breaths, "Father, mother, I'm back."

Uncle Dong was busy admonishing people, "Be careful next time, if it breaks, your monthly payment will be deducted directly." He waved his hand to make people retreat.Suddenly, his ears moved, as if it was the young master's voice, and he ran to the gate in a hurry, his eyes burst into light in an instant.

"Master is back."

Xia Yi, "Uncle Dong."

Uncle Dong, "Young Master, Master and Madam are not here."

"Where did they go?" Xia Yi has never had such a strong desire to see his parents.

Uncle Dong watched Xia Yi's face change from elation to disappointment, and couldn't help being envious.Unlike his own son, he only knows to ask him for money.

"Master, they went to Sioux City as guests, and they will be back in five days."

"Whose house are you visiting?" Xia Yi planned to kill them and surprise them.

Uncle Dong put his hands into his sleeves and said, "At Zhong's house, Zhong's..."

Before Xia Yi finished listening, he ran away. Uncle Dong finished the last few words silently, "Zhong Su is married."

The Zhong family and the Xia family are also related by relatives. For several generations, the two families are also related by marriage.

Although the Zhong family is not as good as the Xia family, it is still ranked first in the city. Xia Yi stood at the gate of the Zhong family, looking at the bright red area in front of him.I looked around and prepared to sneak away while no one noticed.

It's a pity that I'm afraid of something.

"Master Xia!" An exclamation sounded.

Xia Yi turned his head with a half-smile, "Master Ding, long time no see." He scolded him from beginning to end in his heart.

Ding He patted the palm of his left hand with a folding fan, and said with a smile, "Master Xia, it's really hard to see you!"

"Hehe." Xia Yi, "Young Master Ding hasn't changed at all."

"There, besides being suave, don't you think I'm more mature!" Ding Heshua opened the folding fan and sighed with a good feeling about himself, "Boys and girls nowadays like mature ones."

Ding He is the son of the city lord of Sioux City, and he looks very handsome.In addition to being playful and not doing business properly, everything else is okay.Ding He's mother's natal family is Zhong's family. Xia Yi occasionally came to Zhong's house as a guest when he was a child. He, Ding He, and Zhong Su were about the same age, and they often played together.

Ding He has always been a pervert since he was a child, Xia Yi was cute, fair and tender when he was a child, Ding He always loved to touch his face, and always leaned on him.

Xia Yi warned him a few times, this guy was thick-skinned, he was finally beaten up by him, and he has been honest since then.

"Won't Mr. Xia go in?" Ding He knew that Xia Yi didn't like him, but so what, it didn't prevent him from showing off his confidence.

Xia Yi was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so she went into the mansion to find her parents.

Xia Yin and his wife were chatting with their acquaintances, Lin Rou laughed dryly and dragged Xia Yin to a place where there were few people.

"Old man! The people who want to be in-laws with our family are almost crowding my head!"

"I know, thank you for your hard work, ma'am." Xia Yin said distressedly as she touched her forehead.

"This brat." Lin Rou ground her back teeth, and wanted to say something, but she froze, "Yeah?"

"Father, mother."
