Waiting for the wind, waiting for the rain, waiting for your return

Wanggui Village is only a hundred miles away from Xunzhou City, and no one would have thought that there would be such a place where monsters and humans live together near Xunzhou City, where the monsters are talking about it.

There are many hills in the south, and there are many lakes and rivers among the rolling hills. The four of them went upstream along the stream on a bamboo raft. It was spring at this time, and the moist breath carried the revival of all things. Romantic mountain flowers can be seen everywhere. Birds play, end is an idyllic scenery, infinitely beautiful.

At the end of the walk, there is a small waterfall, passing through the waterfall is a shallow cave, and the smooth rock walls are covered with moss.

Si Luoyang looked around and wondered, "It's just a damp cave with nothing in it."

Xiao Zhongyuan stepped forward and put his palm on an inconspicuous stone wall, and after a while, a faint light appeared. It turned out that the stone wall was a stone gate that had been cast with a blinding spell.The stone gate was very narrow, and only one person could pass through it. The four of them passed through the stone gate one by one, walked forward dozens of steps, and suddenly saw a bright light.

This is a mountain depression surrounded by mountains, with isolated mountains, lakes, and Pingba intertwined and dotted with each other;Among the undulating hills, the bamboo forest forms a sea, which is dense and continuous, forming a sea of ​​greenery.In the village, winter jasmine flowers are planted everywhere, golden flowers with pistils, full of vitality, what a paradise.

A certain school has just finished school, with black tiles and white walls, and a few green bamboos beside the wall, like a landscape painting with a few strokes.At the gate, groups of children in blue cloth and blue clothes bowed to say goodbye to the teacher.Holding a book in his hand, Mr. is about fifty years old. He wears ink-colored clothes, a felt scarf on his head, and a long beard under his jaw. Gradually, the warm color of the sun sinking in the west covers his body, adding a bit of time to him. A state of quiet beauty precipitated from the body.

As he approached, he saw the words "Tonggui Xuetang" written in block letters on the plaque at the gate of this courtyard.

"May I ask sir, what is the meaning of the same return?"

The gentleman smiled slightly: "Hui Er loves me, and the intention is to go home together, how many of you are strangers, are you foreigners?"

Seeing him as a teacher, Xiao Zhongyuan already felt close to him, but the word "same return" and his own thoughts coincided with each other.Smiling like a spring breeze at the moment: "I grew up in Wanggui when I was young, so I know the way to come."

"Oh, the young master looks very young. I have been staying in Wanggui for ten years, but I have never seen the young master?"

"I left Wanggui when I was eight years old, and it has been thirteen years since then."

While chatting, a big man came sprinting from a distance. Before he arrived, his voice drifted over from afar: "Sun Gongyan, my old thank you is here, why don't you hurry up and take out all the old rice wine you hid!"

Sun Gongyan shook his head helplessly: "Sure enough, this man's temper is still as rude as ever." He bowed his hands to several people: "It's not very pleasant to have a friend come from afar. I should clean up and serve tea, but my old friend is too. It’s rare to have a talk, so I won’t be calling today. If you stay in Wanggui for a few more days, you might as well come to Tonggui School to talk to me.”

The four continued to walk towards the center of Wanggui Village, and Xiao Zhongyuan acted as a guide: "Further on, there is a market, which is open every four days in my impression, but I don't know if it has closed at this moment."

At this time, the setting sun melts gold, and there is curling smoke rising, but the market is still lively. If you use two words to describe it, it is "lively". Du Lingli is low, and the monster shape is not gone. Either it shows its tail, or it has various horns on its head, or it has a pair of wings on its back, all kinds of strange clothes, and strange shapes. The shell has not been melted yet, and Si Luoyang mistook it for a big pot at first because it was carried on his back. Is it easy to carry around for cooking? He looked at it and laughed for a long time.

This market is about 300 meters long, and there are various stalls lined up on both sides, which are delicious, fun and beautiful. There are all kinds of furs on the clothing stalls. Si Luoyang is very interested in a stall selling decorations. The little demon immediately spoke eloquently: "This girl has good eyesight, but mine are all high-quality goods, the ears of a fox, the eyes of a fawn, the neck of a grub, the teeth of a gourd, any of them can add color to your eyes." At least, if it’s complete, tsk tsk, I’ll keep you as that first-class beauty. Miss, do you want to buy some?”

"How long can these illusions last?"

"Ten and a half months is fine. If the spiritual power gradually dissipates, it will become corrupt."

"It's very interesting, interesting." Si Luoyang pulled Mu Yunjin, and said mischievously: "Sister Mu, these monsters are very interesting, do you want to try?" Looking at the round eyes, she blinked at Mu Yunjin, and perhaps saw something more interesting, and pulled Mu Yunjin to walk forward again.

Xiao Zhongyuan was in a very good mood, and it was rare to see a faint smile on his face all the time, like the willows in the south of the Yangtze River blowing by the spring breeze in March, gentle and tender: "It's been thirteen years since I left, and I never want to forget it. It's so prosperous now."

A little boy holding a windmill accidentally bumped into Xiao Zhongyuan, Xiao Zhongyuan quickly supported him: "It's all right, run slowly, don't fall."

The little boy raised his head and smiled and said, "Got it, thank you big brother." Only then did he realize that there was a group of children holding windmills behind him, chasing each other and running past laughingly.

Jun Fu approached Xiao Zhongyuan, and slightly pushed him with his elbow: "You should smile more often, you look good when you smile, like..." For a while, he couldn't think of how to describe it in beautiful words, so he repeated it One sentence: "In short, it is very beautiful."

Xiao Zhongyuan watched the child's back disappear in the bustling crowd, turned his head and smiled and said: "I think I used to run around the village like this when I was young. It's just that after I went to Kunlun Ruins with Master, I never saw him again. It’s time to do whatever you want.”

The four of them came together all the way, and Si Luoyang liked to pester Junfu, but the two of them never had a chance to be alone. It was rare for Si Luoyang to take Mu Yunjin to the market at this moment, and Xiao Zhongyuan dismissed some of the previous doubts. ask out.

"When you were in a coma, I probed your spiritual root, and your spiritual power was strong. In the battle between Youyuntai and Shen Yan, your cultivation has broken through to the innate realm. What is it related to that thing buried in his heart?"

"Really, maybe it's a chance." Jun Fu thought about the fact that Shen Yan had cultivated his evil energy into his body, so he definitely couldn't tell Xiao Zhongyuan.He himself still needs time to digest, is the intermittent memory in his drowsiness his past life?But is there any connection between the past life and the present life?

"Did you find the yin and yang mirror?" Xiao Zhongyuan's eyes swept over Jun Fu's face, sinking like water.

Jun Fu shook his head calmly, and shrugged his shoulders: "Perhaps that thing also melted into the heaven and earth with Shen Yan's disappearance, presumably this evil spirit gathers from the heaven and earth, and returns to the heaven and earth after death. "

Xiao Zhongyuan's lips parted, but he didn't say anything after all.

The four of them came to a pancake stand. A man in his forties was flipping the pancakes neatly. Two eggs were beaten on top of the pancakes. The golden egg yolks were spread out evenly and sprinkled with white sesame seeds. They were thin and crispy. Sprinkle with chopped green onion, fragrant and tempting.

"Four pancakes." Jun handed over a tael of silver.

"Okay!" The big man neatly wrapped four pancakes and handed them over.

Xiao Zhongyuan took a bite, it was still the familiar taste from his childhood. "Uncle Wei, I'm Xiao Zhongyuan, do you remember me?"

The big man stared at Xiao Zhongyuan for a while, and suddenly realized: "Xiao Zhongyuan, the son of Mrs. Yue Lian's family... Xiao Zhongyuan? Remember, you were only seven or eight years old at that time, and you have been separated for 13 years. Now you are so handsome, I can hardly recognize you." .Your eyebrows are more and more like Mrs. Yue. Ying'er, call brother, he hugged you when you were two years old."

"..." Xiao Zhongyuan was a little bit embarrassed, now that the two of them are adults, it's quite embarrassing to mention this suddenly, even though it was a joke when they were young.

Next to her was a young girl with a flushed face, she just glanced at Zhong Yuan and then lowered her head shyly: "Brother Zhong Yuan." No wonder, it was the first time she saw such a good-looking person.

Xiao Zhongyuan smiled warmly and said: "The girls of the Wei family are all so old now. Uncle Wei, how are Aunt Fu and Aunt Jiang back then?"

Uncle Wei wiped his hands on his bib: "It's all good, all is good. If they know that Mrs. Yue Lian's son is back, they must be very happy. Let's go, I'll take you to see them."

Hearing the name "Yue Lian", some old neighbors gathered around:

"Is it really the young master of Mrs. Yue's family?"

"Yes, yes, look, isn't it carved out of the same mold as Mrs. Yue's?"

"You were only a little bit taller when you were taken away by the fairy king of Kunlun Ruins..."

"Mrs. Yue must be very happy to know that the young master is so promising now!"

Everyone was chattering, but they were obviously very happy to see Xiao Zhongyuan.

Xiao Zhongyuan explained softly in Jun Fu's ear: "My mother is good at medicine. Back then, she was practicing medicine and distributing medicine. Many villagers have received the kindness from her late mother, so they always miss her."

"Let's go, I'm going to eat at Uncle's house today." Uncle Wei closed the stall and was about to take Xiao Zhongyuan there when suddenly many people passed by and greeted each other: "Old Wei, Mr. Lin En is here, hurry up."

Xiao Zhongyuan said with a smile: "Today is really a good day, it's better to come early than coincidentally."

"Who is Mr. Lin? It seems that he has a very high reputation in the hearts of the villagers."

Xiao Zhongyuan said: "This Wanggui Village was built by Brother Lin. The original intention was to take in the children of the monster race and the human race, and build a paradise where humans and monsters can live in harmony. When I was young, there were only a hundred families. Now look It is estimated that there are nearly a thousand households."

"Then you have to go and see, he is really a kind person."
