Xue Xiao, the Patriarch of Demon Dao, and his colleagues——Stars sinking into the sea [Rebirth]

Xiao Xingchen walked along the road, and Xue Yang followed him as usual, not too far or too close. In the afternoon, Xiao Xingchen found himself going around and back to Yicheng.

The old man at the roadside stall hadn't seen Xiao Xingchen for a few months, so he had a lot of conversations with him.The old man's daughter and grandson are still living with him now. There are a few more people in the family, and the expenses are a little tight. In the past, one person was enough to feed the whole family and the whole family was not hungry. Now, he and his daughter went to the mountains to open a few acres of land. , Tired is a bit tired, but the whole family is neat and tidy, and they live very comfortably.

The old man was all smiles, and forcefully gave Xiao Xingchen a few vegetables, but Xiao Xingchen refused, and the other party refused to take the copper coin.

"This dish will not be very fresh in the afternoon, as long as you don't dislike it, I will give it to you! I will close the stall and go back. My two grandchildren are still waiting for me to make bamboo baskets for them to catch fish!" The old man said with a smile. Picking up the empty vegetable basket, he smiled and said, "I'm used to living alone, but I feel that life is really exciting when I have a companion. Daoist, you should go back quickly, or your little brother will have to wait again!" "

The old man walked away, and Xiao Xingchen had nowhere to go with a few handfuls of vegetables, so he had to go back to Yizhuang where he lived before.

No one lived in the Yizhuang for a few months, and it was still the same as it was before Xiao Xingchen and Xue Yang went out to find the cat demon, but the tables, cabinets, bowls and chopsticks were covered with dust.There is no well in the courtyard, and they usually go to the well to draw water and store it in the large water tank in the courtyard. At that time, they wanted to go out, but they did not fill the water tank full, leaving only half of the water in the tank, and now no one is looking after it for several months , the dust settled at the bottom of the tank, but the water was still usable.

Xiao Xingchen scooped up the water on the surface to wash the pot. There was still half a bag of rice in the house. Xiao Xingchen grabbed a handful, paused and grabbed two more, put the pot on the fire, and went to the courtyard Wash vegetables.

Xue Yang came uninvited, and Xiao Xingchen was in the courtyard, so he took a broom to the house to sweep the floor, and wiped the tables, cabinets and bedsides well. When Xiao Xingchen finished washing the dishes and was ready to enter the house, he came Wash the water tank in the yard and change all the water.

After all, it is a place that has been well taken care of by people, and it can be lived again after a little tidying up.

After filling the water tank, Xue Yang looked at Xiao Xingchen at the door for a while, then walked in, stopped after three or five steps, and said without words: "Li Min's son gave me the amulet. "

Xiao Xingchen picked up the firewood but didn't speak, Xue Yang was not discouraged, and approached quietly: "It's useless for me to keep this thing, you can keep it."

As he spoke, he put the amulet and the money bag given by Li Min on the stool next to Xiao Xingchen, and took another step back to stand up.

Xiao Xingchen touched something on the stool, and said the first sentence to Xue Yang in more than two months: "This is his family's affection for you, you put it away yourself, what will you do for me?"

Xue Yang suppressed his joyful heart, pretended to be pitiful, and said, "But I don't have anything else for you, and you hate everything else."

Xiao Xingchen was simply baffled: "Why did you give me your own things?"

"I don't know how to please you, so I can only give you what I have, but if you don't want it, I have no other choice." Xue Yang said, "You don't want my things, you don't talk to me, you hate me , you think I'm disgusting, it's okay, then Li Min and the others won't bother you, right? You won't feel disgusted if you hold their things, right?"

Xiao Xingchen was speechless for a while, then Xue Yang muttered again: "You said they are so ignorant, just give it to you, and give this kind of thing to someone like me at will, and you won't be afraid of being punished by God."

Xiao Xingchen couldn't hold back, and said angrily, "I think you don't know what's good and what's wrong. You saved their lives, they were grateful and treated you with sincerity, but you treat them like a donkey."

Seeing that Xiao Xingchen was willing to speak up, Xue Yang didn't care if he was angry or not, so he changed the subject cheekily: "Master Dao, what did you cook? It smells so good."

It's just a pot of boiled vegetables that don't have any oily smell at all, just sprinkle some salt for seasoning, I don't know where the fragrance comes from.Xiao Xingchen didn't care about him, probably the cooking was almost done, so he got up to take the bowls and chopsticks, Xue Yang put the amulet into Xiao Xingchen's hand just as he turned around, and said, "It's okay to put this thing on me, a villain who doesn't know what's good and what's wrong. It’s a waste, the Taoist priest should keep it.”

Xiao Xingchen was so frightened that he almost dropped the bowl, and he grabbed the spell tightly. Xue Yang wrapped Xiao Xingchen's hand to prevent him from letting go. Seeing Xiao Xingchen's ugly face, Xue Yang's attitude Still stubborn, he said seriously: "Xiao Xingchen, I think you are safe, please keep it."

It was rare for Xue Yang to put away his cute and obedient appearance, Xiao Xingchen was stunned for a moment, Xue Yang took the opportunity to leave the amulet in his hand, walked back a few steps towards the door, laughed a few times, and said, "Quick, Taoist priest!" I'm going to chop wood for dinner."

"You..." Xiao Xingchen hesitated to speak.

Xue Yang stopped in his tracks, looked at Xiao Xingchen expectantly, and asked, "What's wrong?"

The Taoist priest stood there, silent with a tangled expression. Xue Yang waited patiently. Xiao Xingchen was very distressed for a while, and suddenly walked to his stool and sat down. After sitting for a while, Xue Yang still didn't move. Angrily said: "Do you still want me to bring you bowls and chopsticks?"

Xue Yang didn't realize it for a moment, and when he figured out what he said, he hurriedly said, "You don't have to do it by yourself", ran to hold the bowls and chopsticks, then sat down by the pot, scrambling to add more food to Xiao Xingchen .

Xiao Xingchen didn't give him the bowl, and scooped up the rice by himself and ate it quietly. Xue Yang had only planned to eat a few mouthfuls of vegetables, but he glanced into the rice pot and found that Xiao Xingchen was cooking rice for two. .

Xue Yang added food silently, stopped after a few mouthfuls, looked at Xiao Xingchen and said, "Thank you, Daoist."

Xiao Xingchen paused with his chopsticks, shook his head, and said lightly, "I won't short you of a mouthful of rice, and besides, you bought this rice...There's nothing to thank you for."

However, Xue Yang knew that Xiao Xingchen had already made the biggest concession to him. He pulled the corners of his mouth and wanted to laugh, but his eyes became hot for some reason, but he didn't laugh at all. Thousands of words turned into a sigh, and the heat of rice in the bowl Dissipates in air.
