Chapter Seventy-Four: Bo Xue, Vermilion Welcomes the Competition
Two months passed in a flash, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang were immersed in strict time management, and Hui Yue also fully understood their eating habits.
Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang are indeed not picky eaters, they eat whatever Huiyue does, and never say that it is not delicious. Especially Xia Xiao, who eats everything very deliciously, not like a rich kid. In fact, he is not noble in his bones, after all, the life of those years is far away. And Xia Xiao also has things he doesn't like to eat, such as dishes related to bones. It's not because it's ugly, it's because it's a waste of time and I don't want to gnaw. Those chicken claw skeletons are only suitable for wine in your spare time!
After eating, resting for less than half an hour, they began to cultivate. This went on and on for nearly two months, until the eve of the competition.
If you are an ordinary person, you must not be able to stand such boredom, and there is no fun in daily life, but Xia Xiao likes this feeling very much. Every time his strength improves, it is worth him to be happy for a long time.
And as long as Shu Shuang can be by Xia Xiao's side, he never shouts boring, but in order to protect Xia Xiao, he cultivates more energetically. After saying goodnight to each other every night, they would practice all night. Gradually, sleep can be guaranteed through cultivation.
At this time, Xia Xiao and the others went to the west gate of Rongcheng.
Thin snowflakes floated in the sky, and when they saw it, there was a hint of comfort in their eyes. It's not cold weather, but it's pleasant with snowflakes.
Because the contest was approaching, vermilion couplets were posted everywhere, and red lanterns were hung high in the streets. No matter who the winner of the local competition is, it shows that they have come out of some young talents in this prosperous city, which is worth rejoicing.
In the festive atmosphere, Huiyue was a little nervous, and she kept tidying up her clothes and asked Shushuang:
"My hair isn't messy, is it?"
"Okay, Sister Huiyue. ”
Xia Xiao smiled lightly and asked her:
"Why are you so nervous?"
"To meet your family, it's natural to behave appropriately and make a good first impression. ”
In the past two months, Huiyue has been with Xia Xiao and the others every day, but there is always a small gap between them. Of course, this is just Huiyue's self-feeling, she is not a cultivator, and most of the time she can't understand the content of Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang's chat.
"Uncle and aunt are very easy-going, the eldest brother is bold, the second sister is gentle, I will definitely like you, Sister Huiyue. ”
Shu Shuang looked expectant, as if she was talking about her family. Xia Xiao heard her tone, and his heart was slightly happy.
Standing outside the West Gate, in the light snow, the traffic next to Xia Xiao and the three of them was endless. They are anxious, and the wind blows a little cool. Xia Xiao pulled Shu Shuang behind him, this action that was repeated countless times, even now Shu Shuang was very relieved to see it.
She hid behind Xia Xiao and looked at the road in the distance, and soon her eyes lit up.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
Xia Xiao followed Shu Shuang's gaze and saw a carriage moving slowly. The two horses seemed to be strolling, stepping on a light snow, moving towards this direction. No matter how much the carriage around it overtook it, its speed remained the same, but the window of the carriage covered with a little snow opened, shaking the snow to the ground.
In the car window, Xiao Rong's smile appeared. When Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang involuntarily waved and laughed, Huiyue was still nervous. At this glance, the woman with everyone's beautiful temperament is gentle and elegant, will she feel that she is too tacky?
When the carriage approached, a small piece of silver was handed to the old man who was driving the carriage. Xia Jinghong and Xia Xu dismounted first, and then helped Xiao Rong and Xia Wan down.
Xia Rong was so excited that she hurriedly came over to look at her Xiao Er, holding her face and saying that she had lost weight. The new silk clothes that Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang wore today were made by their mothers before they left Longgang, but they have only worn them for the first time until now.
"Shu Shuang, you've lost weight too. ”
Shu Shuang just smiled, took the second sister's hand, and stood with Huiyue.
"Look at you, it's like this when you come, people who don't know think something big is wrong. ”
Xia Jinghong wiped away the tears from the corners of Xiao Rong's eyes, and there was some doting in his words.
"This is Miss Huiyue, right?"
Xia Jinghong said, Xia Wan had gracefully taken her hand and praised.
"My sister is so beautiful. ”
"Hello uncle and aunt. ”
At Huiyue's age, I don't know what to call Xia Xu and Xia Wan, because she is a little older than Xia Wan and younger than Xia Xu. But the calmness in her bones can't be made up for by age, and in front of Xia Wan, Huiyue is like a child. She looked embarrassed because she didn't answer Xia Wan's words.
"Don't be so polite, Xiao Er often mentioned you in her letters, you are all a family. ”
As soon as Xia Jinghong appeared, he had that kind of temperament that stabilized the overall situation, and it seemed that everything was mobilized by him, and he also became the center of this group of people. In comparison, Huiyue felt that Xia Xiao, who was extremely mature, was nothing. In the end, she praised in her heart, she deserved to be a loyal general with both wisdom and bravery!
"Let's go, talk as we go. ”
Xia Jinghong's father and son walked in front, and Xiao Rong's four daughters followed behind. Huiyue looked at Xia Xiao, who was almost as tall as Xia Jinghong and Xia Xu, and there was a kind of pride in her heart that came from nowhere. This kind of feeling is more special, like treating his own brother, but it is stronger than that feeling.
"Huiyue, you're a local, aren't you?"
When Xia Wan asked, Huiyue chatted with her. Women always have their own topics, and so do men.
Stepping on the light snow mixed with the mud and dust, Xia Xu looked up at the big red lantern.
"It's a quadrennial competition, and it's really lively. ”
"How's your cultivation?"
In fact, Xia Xiao rarely writes letters, only one in the past two months, and Huiyue only mentions it once. Seeing his father ask at this time, Xia Xiao was pleasantly surprised.
"It's the middle stage of coagulation. ”
Xia Jinghong and Xia Xu's movements were synchronized, and their palms were placed on Xia Xiao's shoulders at the same time.
"Not bad!"
Xia Xiao smiled when he saw it:
"Don't encourage me so much, it's not like you can't feel it. ”
After laughing a few times, Xia Jinghong and Xia Xu's careful thinking was guessed by Xia Xiao at a glance.
"Seeing that your breath is steady, not impetuous, you have a set, how can you cultivate so quickly?"
It is very difficult to break through the Condensation Seed Realm, and ordinary cultivators will even spend half their lives. Because it is an extremely long process for the seed to break out of the shell and germinate. Many practitioners do not wait for germination in their lifetimes, let alone a flowering period, and only reincarnation can bloom. But Xia Xiao has been in Rongcheng for three months, and he has gone from the peak of the road to the middle stage of condensation, and even Xia Xu can't reach this speed.
"I somehow became a champion when I was hunting, and I got a Flame Dragon Blood Fruit. Shu Shuang spent a lot of effort to make it into a medicinal pill, and only then did he cultivate faster. ”
"The main thing is that the talent is good, you and Xu'er are better than the blue!"
Xia Jinghong is only in the Venerable Realm now, and entering the fruit is like ascending to the sky, and I am afraid that there is no hope in this life. But Xia Xu is at the same level as him, and there is still room for improvement, and he will be able to impact the fruit in a few years. As for Xia Xiao, he has the strength of the middle stage of condensation at fifteen, and his future is immeasurable, and at Xia Xu's age, he will definitely surpass him!
"It's better to be taught by my father!"
Xia Jinghong hadn't been so happy for a long time, pinched the back of Xia Xu and Xia Xiao's necks, and said with a smile:
"Don't be a sycophant, the local selection will start tomorrow. ”
"Don't worry, you're sure to win the crown!"
"I heard that Lin Tian's strength has reached the peak of condensation?"
This Rongcheng Lin Tian has the same name as the general of the Great Xia Dynasty, and some of them attracted Xia Jinghong.
"Hmm, but it's not even close to the Venerable Realm. ”
Xia Jinghong originally wanted to explain the affairs of Wanling Valley, but seeing that Xia Xiao was so steady and seemed that everything was planned, he didn't speak.
"Where's the inn that was arranged?"
"It's still ahead, let's walk slowly and buy something by the way. ”
Xia Xiao said, Xia Xu put his arms around his neck and looked back at Huiyue. When the latter saw it, he was a little shy, what does this mean?
"Yes, I know that for the sake of my brother, I found it for me? This figure and face are good, and his age is good. ”
"If you want to chase it, you can chase it, but I still think Su Huan is good. ”
"Oh, don't mention her!"
Xia Xu was stunned, and Xia Xiao lifted the corners of his mouth.
"You kid did it on purpose. ”
Xia Xu stretched out his hand to grab him, Xia Xiao wanted to hide, but how could he hide from Xia Xu?
"Big brother, I was wrong, on the street, give some face, give some face. ”
Xia Xu pinched his fists and used the middle finger knuckle to spin on Xia Xiao's head, causing Xia Xiao to laugh and tears in his eyes. Big brother's fist is still as hard as ever!
When Xiao Rong's three daughters saw it, they sneered, they were so adult, they were still so childlike. Hui Yue looked at them, as if she had discovered a new world, she still thought that a cold person like Xia Xiao would not have this kind of behavior, it seemed that he was also like ordinary people, he had joys, sorrows, and sorrows, but he showed less.
Seeing Shu Shuang running over to rub Xia Xiao's head, Xiao Rong understood the gap between them. But how could she think that?Hui Yue realized the danger of her consciousness, and quickly turned her mind and asked Xiao Rong and Xia Wan.
"Do you want to buy something?"
Now that the Xia family is not as poor as it was at the beginning, Xiao Rong and Xia Wan bought a lot of things, big bags and small bags, and Xia Jinghong's father and son muttered for a while. In this regard, all men in the world are the same.
The inn arranged by Xia Xiao was opposite the pharmacy, and in the evening, they went to Tianfu Kitchen together. Although Ding Qiang looks a little mean, he and his brothers can't wait to take out all the good things to entertain the Xia family. They ate happily and then sat down together and drank tea.
Ding Qiang and Ding Xiaosi had no topic to talk about with the Xia family, but listening to them sit together and talk about Longgang was also happy.
"Again...... See you soon!"
Looking at the back of the Xia family leaving, Ding Xiaosi stuttered again, but this time Ding Qiang didn't blame him. Xiao Rong, Xia Wan, Shu Shuang, Hui Yue, the four girls are of different ages and have different charms, and he also sighed secretly when he saw it. Xia Xiao is simply too happy, since he lives in a pile of beauties.
"Gotta get it, pack up your things, tomorrow the people from all the cities will come, hurry up and make money. ”
Ding Xiaosi scratched his head, and said to Ding Qiang with some embarrassment:
"Big brother, I want to find a daughter-in-law. ”
"What?"
Ding Qiang looked stunned and scolded with a smile:
"I don't have a daughter-in-law yet, so you want to find it...... I'll find you first!"
When Ding Xiaosi heard this, he was full of enthusiasm and picked up a stack of leaflets.
"I'll go to the west of the city to send out orders, and there will definitely be more guests tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!"
