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

On the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, the two went to the market to buy new year's goods, just in time for the last gathering before the year.

It was quite difficult for Xiao Xingchen to walk among the crowd. Xue Yang walked next to Xiao Xingchen on the crowded side, counting the things he wanted to buy.

In fact, there is nothing to prepare, just a few ounces of meat, a basket of vegetables, a bag of rice, and a few handfuls of spices, to make the New Year's Eve dinner a little richer than usual.

Passing by a stall, Xue Yang stopped for a while, Xiao Xingchen asked what's the matter, Xue Yang glanced at the ball hard candy on the stall, and asked in a strange way: "Master Dao, do you eat candy?"

After speaking, he felt a little stupid, so he hurriedly dragged Xiao Xingchen away.

Xue Yang was fond of sweets. In his previous life, after Xiao Xingchen knew that he loved sweets, he would bring him and the little liar A-Qing a candy every day when he came back from the house, which was the kind he saw at the snack stand just now.But that happened in the previous life, in this life he didn't meet A-Qing for some reason, and he didn't have the chance to tell stories with the Taoist priest and ask for sweets.When he was reborn, he had already eaten all the candy he had stored in the universe bag, and he never bought it no matter how greedy he was, because he always felt that the candy he bought was not as sweet as the one Xiao Xingchen gave him.

When Xue Yang was negotiating with the owner of the butcher stall, he was still debating whether he should trick the Taoist priest to buy him candy again. When he was distracted, he didn't get the meat after paying the money. When he turned around, he found that Xiao Xingchen had disappeared.

There are people everywhere on the long street, and no one is his priest.

When they went out together, Xiao Xingchen would not say hello wherever he was going, so how could he disappear suddenly?Could it be that there is some trouble?Or met someone?

Xue Yang was sweating from shock, he didn't want anything, so he turned around and walked back.

He rubbed shoulders with countless people, staggered and nearly fell, and barely stood still while leaning on the wall when he passed the corner. His eyes felt a little dizzy, as if he was in a dream for a while.

Xue Yang settled down, stood firm and continued walking.

It can't be a dream, how could it be a dream?It has been almost half a year since he was reborn, and the memory of every day in the past six months is extremely clear. It is impossible for him to be punished to wake up from his dream just because he was greedy for a while and wanted the Taoist priest to buy him sugar like in the previous life?

Even if it was delusional, he didn't ask for it, and there was no reason why he couldn't find anyone all of a sudden.

"Xiao Xingchen..." Saying the name again, Xue Yang even felt a little strange.He thought, what would he do if the Taoist master knew his identity?The idea came so suddenly that he was terrified, he only said it in a low voice and didn't dare to repeat it, turned his head and continued to search.

"Taoist..." Xue Yang wandered aimlessly through the crowd, not knowing where to go.

"Taoist..." Xue Yang called out again.

At this time, someone answered him: "You are here."

Xue Yang followed the sound and saw Xiao Xingchen standing a few steps away from him holding a bag of unknown things.

Xue Yang's eyes were scarlet, he was stunned for a long time before he suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Xiao Xingchen's wrist, and asked as if asking, "Where did you go?"

He didn't even call the Daoist, his voice was even hoarse, Xiao Xingchen was stunned by the question, and then put something in Xue Yang's palm.

Xue Yang looked at the hard candy in his hand and was momentarily speechless, Xiao Xingchen said, "I'm about to come to you."

It was only now that Xue Yang realized that this place was only a hundred meters away from the meat stall, and it hadn't been long since they separated, so Xue Yang's nervousness seemed inexplicable.

Xiao Xingchen didn't know how bad Xue Yang's face was now, so he asked naturally, "Have you bought everything yet?"

It took Xue Yang a long time to force his voice out: "I... I paid the money and forgot to take the meat. The rest... also left on the stall."

Seeing that Xiao Xingchen was surprised that he could forget all of this, Xue Yang smiled wryly and said, "I thought I lost the Taoist priest, and came to look for it in a hurry, so I forgot."

"How could it be lost?" Xiao Xingchen smiled, "If I get lost for a while, I can find the way back to Yizhuang, you just go back and wait."

Xue Yang was still afraid, supported Xiao Xingchen's arm, and shook his head weakly, remembering that Xiao Xingchen couldn't see, he raised his head again and said, "The Taoist priest...where the Taoist priest is going, he should follow him." Let me tell you, there are so many people, what should you do if you were cheated away?"

He clenched the candy tightly in his hand, feeling lost: "If the Taoist priest is cheated away, no one will buy me candy."

Xiao Xingchen didn't understand why he had such worries, and said with a smile, "How could I be cheated? Besides, what else can I cheat?"

Xue Yang regained his composure, and laughed along with him, but he couldn't stop laughing after only a few dry laughs.He said softly: "There are so many bad people in the world, and the Taoist priest is so easy to deceive, I'm always worried."

After he finished speaking, he felt ironic, because apart from him, no one would be bad enough to deceive a blind Taoist priest. Even if there was, it would be better to be deceived by anyone than Xue Yang. He was so worried that it was unreasonable.

Xiao Xingchen didn't take it seriously, and went with Xue Yang to the butcher's stall to pick up the vegetable basket that he left behind, and then returned to Yizhuang.

When it was New Year's Eve, neither of them said they would watch the night. After eating and drinking, they sat down for a while and then washed and went to bed tacitly.

I don't know how long I lay there, when the sound of firecrackers came from the city, Xue Yang waited for the most lively sound to pass, and whispered: "Taoist, happy new year."

Xiao Xingchen didn't even sleep, and smiled back at him, "Happy New Year."

Xue Yang was silent for a while, leaned closer to Xiao Xingchen, and before he could ask for it, Xiao Xingchen stuffed a candy into his mouth: "I don't blame me for the toothache."

Xue Yang held the candy in his mouth, feeling that his viscera had been sweetened, he moved and accidentally touched Xiao Xingchen's hand, without much hesitation, he touched it and gave it a firm grip, then let it go immediately.

Xiao Xingchen was puzzled, Xue Yang said obediently before he could open his mouth, "Thank you Taoist priest for watching the year and giving me sweets."

Xiao Xingchen didn't know where he got the conclusion that "the Taoist priest will keep him year-old", and he didn't deny it, and after a few words, he said that he was going to sleep.

Xue Yang was so sweet that he couldn't sleep, and he didn't want Xiao Xingchen to be quiet, so he suddenly started talking about something from a long time ago.Nothing new, nothing more than the old story of being cheated and insulted for a box of snacks when I was greedy for sweets when I was seven years old.

He still didn't say what happened after the seven-year-old stopped the person who lied to him, but he wasn't as brooding as he was in the previous life. He smiled and said to Xiao Xingchen: "Now there is a Tao Chang Zai, do I no longer have to worry about being bullied if I don’t have candy?”
