The heart-rending cry of the child became even more strange in this dreary night.

Bai Xiu woke up suddenly, and for a moment his mind was blank, wasn't I dead...... He subconsciously looked at his hands, the hideous wounds were still there, and the pain in his heart made him realize that he was indeed alive.

He was a little distracted, in fact, Su Liang was not wrong, he should have been hit into ashes by the spiritual vein of Hongyuan Island, but he survived, and he didn't know what was going on.

He couldn't figure out why, so he simply sat up and looked at his surroundings.

It seems to be a long-abandoned Taoist temple, small in size, with a statue of a god in the center, a dilapidated table in front of the statue, and a pile of broken bricks and tiles elsewhere.

This reminded him of the mountain temple in Wanglongping Village, and coincidentally, there was also a child's voice here in the middle of the night.

He couldn't help but get up and walk out the door, which was a small courtyard, and a path leading to the gate was obscured by overgrown weeds and shrubs.

When he finally walked outside, he saw two figures, one large and one small, sitting next to each other under the plane tree not far away.

The younger one was a boy, only three or four years old, and for some unknown reason, he almost fainted from crying, and the older girl, who was seventeen or eighteen years old, turned her back to him and coaxed the boy with some helplessness.

Such a combination made him feel a little relieved, but it was really strange that the two children appeared in the middle of the night in this wilderness.

He stepped forward and deliberately made some noises so as not to frighten the two: "Little girl, are you lost?"

The girl was very vigilant, and as soon as she heard the voice, she picked up the boy and ran out a few steps, and looked coldly at him under the cover of the trunk.

Bai Xiu finally met her, but he was stunned, because he was so familiar with this girl's appearance that he subconsciously called out her name.

"Auntie?"

The other party was still frowning and looking at him, his immature face revealing a bit of ruthlessness that was not in line with his age: "Who are you? What are you hiding in? Did Xie Qingyuan send you to hunt us down?"

Bai Xiu suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, but in order not to arouse the girl's suspicion, he smiled apologetically for some reason: "I'm sorry, I followed this child's cry...... Do you need help?"

He tried his best to show his kindness, but it was a pity that Bai Yan still looked at him motionlessly.

Just when he was thinking about how to win her trust, Bai Yan retracted his gaze with a smile: "Seeing that you are not lightly injured, I am afraid that you are also being chased and killed by the enemy, and you can help us, let's clean up yourself first!"

Bai Xiu laughed for a while, in his impression Bai Yan seemed to be omnipotent, always so calm and steady, but he didn't know that she was also "able to speak" when she was young.

Seeing him looking at himself with a smile, Bai Yan's face suddenly turned cold: "What are you laughing at, tell me honestly, who are you?"

"My name is Xin Fang. ”

Bai Yan glared at him angrily: "I didn't ask your name again!"

As she spoke, she also walked back with the boy in her arms, still sitting under the plane tree, looking at the latter's little cheeks, which were also a little familiar, Bai Xiu already knew in her heart.

He was confused, squatted down and touched Zheng Ruyi's little head, and said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, I will take good care of you." ”

Strange to say, the boy's tears immediately stopped, looked at him with a pair of big round eyes, and then giggled.

Bai Yan looked at him with a pair of eyes open, very surprised: "It's really strange, I coaxed him for a while, he only cared about crying by himself, but he was very obedient when it was your turn." ”

Bai Xiu sighed in his heart, although he is no longer Zheng Ruxin's body now, but they have existed together for twenty years, and naturally they and Zheng Ruyi will have blood resonance.

Bai Yan looked at him, and suddenly spoke: "I don't know why, I always feel that you are a little familiar, we ...... Have you seen it anywhere?"

Bai Xiu shook his head: "Probably my appearance is more popular." ”

"Cut. Bai Yan also smiled, but soon she looked down again, lowered her head and stopped talking.

To be honest, this kind of Bai Yan made Bai Xiu a little puzzled, and seeing her tired, he said tentatively: "It's cold at night, and you can block the wind inside, why don't you go in and rest?"

Bai Yan didn't object, she picked up Zheng Ruyi and followed him into the Taoist temple, Bai Xiu picked up a vacant lot, and lit a fire on the side, so she sat down.

Zheng Ruyi had already fallen asleep, but the two adults were relatively speechless in the crackling fire.

Such an atmosphere made Bai Xiu inexplicably a little embarrassed, he sat silently for a while, and said to Bai Yan: "I'll go find you something to eat, you can rest first." ”

Bai Yan's gaze stopped at his wound: "I'll go, you help me watch him." ”

didn't give Bai Xiu time to react, she put Zheng Ruyi on the grass pile on the side, stood up and walked out.

Bai Xiu nodded subconsciously, and immediately reacted, a little smiling, he had long been accustomed to Bai Yan's character, but he didn't expect it to take shape at this time.

However, he was more surprised, after all, in Bai Yan's opinion, he was just a stranger of unknown origin, why did he trust him so much?

Of course, this is a good thing, Bai Xiu felt in his heart, he was afraid that he would never have the chance to meet Bai Yan again after thirty years, maybe it was God's compensation for him that made him return to thirty years ago.

What's more, he also met Zheng Ruyi.

They were the two people he owed the most, and he wished he could take good care of them so that they would not have to worry about the future.

It's a pity that he knows that he can't change anything, otherwise, they will pay a greater price for it just like on Hongyuan Island, so all he can do is try to cherish the time now.

Bai Xiu helped Zheng Ruyi wrap the clothes outside and let him sleep warmer.

Time passed little by little, and he was a little more worried in his heart, in fact, as a cultivator, even if Bai Yan was only a teenager, it was more than enough to deal with ordinary dangers, but he hadn't forgotten what she said before, his mother Xie Qingyuan was chasing them.

He could never believe that Gentle as his mother would do such a thing, but he didn't know the ins and outs of the beginning, who knew if there was anything hidden inside, there were important people on both sides, and he could only hope that no one would hurt anyone.

Just thinking about it, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door, some of which were light and some were urgent, and there was obviously more than one person coming, he was in a state of mind, and hurriedly put out the fire and reused his skills to hide behind the statue of Zheng Ruyi on his back.

Soon, the door of the Taoist temple creaked open.

They only carried a dim kerosene lamp, and Bai Xiu couldn't see it clearly, but vaguely judged that there were three people in the team, two men and one woman, all wearing black cloaks, almost blending into the night.

As soon as he entered the door, the man on the left walked quickly to the bonfire and looked at it, and said firmly: "The fire has just been extinguished, and they are afraid that they haven't gone far, so let's chase it?"

Bai Xiu was stunned, the other party's voice was a little familiar to him, and he always felt that he had heard it somewhere, but unfortunately it was thirty years ago, even if it was really an acquaintance, he might not be able to judge it.

The man swept his gaze, and finally put it on the dilapidated window of the Taoist temple, and looked inquiringly at the woman in the middle.

She looked around for a moment, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, that girl has a lot of ideas, and she is hiding nearby, and then fleeing in the direction we came from when we leave." ”

Before she finished speaking, Bai Xiu's mind was already blank, because this voice was something he couldn't forget no matter what.

Yes, his mother's voice.

The person in front of him was Xie Qingyuan.

Thirty years have passed, even if it is not the original world now, but being able to see her again can be regarded as God's favor for him.

He had a lot of questions in his mind that he wanted to ask her, but in fact, as he had analyzed before, he couldn't ask, or even let her know his identity.

Once the facts change, there will be an unpredictable chain reaction, which no one can bear, everything on Hongyuan Island is like this, no one knows this better than him, so this time he must also be more cautious in his words and actions.

His mind turned a few times, and the three of them began to search as well.

Although the position behind the statue was quite hidden, Bai Xiu's heart couldn't help but mention it, he was not worried about whether he could lead Zheng Ruyi to escape successfully in the face of the siege of the three people, but he didn't know how to face her for a while.

Just thinking about it, a figure finally searched this way, Bai Xiu recognized that he was the man who spoke first, and the identity of this person was obviously the lowest among the three, but this did not mean that his strength was also the bottom.

Bai Xiu was vigilant in his heart, and while protecting Zheng Ruyi behind him, he secretly used his spirit to condense, and it didn't take long for the man to walk under the statue, and then habitually stretched.

The two instantly looked at each other.

Covered by the cloak, Bai Xiu still couldn't see the appearance of this person clearly, but he was vigilant at this time, and he was about to make a move subconsciously, but the other party suddenly made a silent gesture, and then walked towards the other two casually.
