As promised yesterday, early this morning, Ah Li hurriedly resigned from us and set off for Bihai. I was still sleeping in my room when she came to me, and I listened to her useless nonsense in a daze, and when I woke up, I didn't remember a word, but I realized that she was gone.

The only thing that made me feel bad was that Beiqi was still staying at the inn, Song Yunjing told me that he had already told Murong Chuan that he would go with us all the way, and I rubbed my forehead helplessly. I really don't understand why Beiqi must follow us, is the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan so stable internally? He, the patriarch, is so leisurely and has nothing to do?

When I walked out of the Yunlai Inn, I was shocked by the people who saw Murong Chuan and Song Yunjing off on the street, and almost everyone had all kinds of gifts in their hands, but unfortunately they were all rejected by Murong Chuan. Under my strong gaze, Song Yunjing accepted a few pastries from the hands of the woman beside him, which were used as indispensable dry food when he was in a hurry, and Murong Chuan did not object anymore when he heard this reason.

When I was about to completely lose sight of Huaiyang behind me, I finally couldn't help but glance back, not because I was reluctant to give up my love for a long time, in fact, I had wanted to leave Huaiyang for a long time, but at the moment of really leaving, I had a very wonderful feeling in my heart, I can't say what it feels like, but my heart is depressed.

Walking is actually a test of endurance, and I do it very well. Great oaks from little acorns grow.. Walking on the land every day, moving forward step by step, I have a great sense of achievement, although I often complain of sore feet and legs, but I have persevered, Song Yunjing said that this is also a kind of spiritual training.

When he and Murong Chuan had free time, he always told me about some Taoism, and the most mentioned thing was that the first thing to cultivate in cultivation is the mind, and I always pretended to understand, but in fact I never really understood it. When Song Yunjing said this to me again, I habitually pretended to understand. Whenever I was like this, Song Yunjing would look at me with complicated eyes, and when he saw that I was just looking at him in confusion, he would sigh. I was about to be tossed crazy by Song Yunjing like this, and I hurried away with my head down.

On the occasion of Mengqiu, the distant mountains are beautiful and the sky is clear.

It's been ten days since I saw a populated place again. As the sun approached noon, I chose the one that looked barren and overgrown with grass when faced with two forks in the road. My idea is this, a place with a lot of people is easy to attract all kinds of aliens, so if I avoid a crowded place and choose some poor villages, I should not meet so many aliens, and my human journey will be relatively easy.

The path is lined with red chrysanthemum bushes, dotted among the mountains, and is full of poetry. Along the way, there are many unknown flowers and plants, which grow extraordinarily luxuriantly.

Rounding a col, we saw a small village, as I had imagined, a relatively small village, with a population of only a few hundred at most. Although autumn was getting stronger, the midday sun was still quite poisonous, and we decided to beg for water, especially me, whose throat was already smoking.

There is a clearing in front of the village where several stout locust trees grow with a large canopy, which is just right for enjoying the shade. When I got closer, I saw that there were still a few smooth bluestone benches under the tree, and a chill arose when I sat on it. Before he could stretch his feet, he was pulled up by Song Yunjing and said that it was important to ask for water to drink first. I was really thirsty, so I had to get up and follow him.

There is a house not far in front of the big locust tree, and there are many red chrysanthemums growing on both sides of the winding stone road, which is very beautiful at a glance. It's normal for chrysanthemums to bloom in autumn, but I feel a little uneasy in my heart, there must be something weird. It wasn't until I saw the pot of red flowers in the corner of the courtyard that I finally understood why I felt weird.

Hearing movement outside, an old woman with gray hair and gray eyes came out of the house, and a little girl with a double horned bun supported her. The little girl looked like she was eight or nine years old, her face was flushed, and her two big eyes were set on her palm-sized face, which was very innocent. At this time, she was looking at us with her big watery eyes, and she was looking at us with seven points and three points.

It was the first time I had seen such a beautiful little human girl, and I smiled at her. She turned her head in a panic and pulled the old woman's sleeve and shook it: "Mother-in-law, she is a beautiful sister and has three brothers. ”

The old woman patted the little girl's hand lightly and said gently, "Really? She turned in our direction and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the guys who have come from afar?" ”

Even though the old woman's vision was a little blurry, Murong Chuan still bowed, "Excuse me, mother-in-law, a few of us are thirsty at the intersection, and we passed by here to ask for a bowl of water to drink." ”

The old woman said 'oh', turned back to the room on crutches, and took half a scoop of water with a water ladle and handed it to the little girl. The little girl took the water scoop and brought it tremblingly, and Murong Chuan quickly took it and handed it to me first.

Solving the problem of thirst, Murong Chuan asked, "May I ask my mother-in-law, is there a place in this village for outsiders to stay?" ”

The old woman said: "The population in the village is small, the yard is small, and the conditions are poor. ”

Song Yunjing asked, "Is that Qinghe Town far away from here?" ”

It was the little girl who answered, and she smiled and snatched back: "It's not far away, I often run to the town to play, and I will be able to walk there soon." ”

The pot of red flowers in the corner of the courtyard was in full swing, and it was hard for me to take my eyes off. But I'm pretty sure that the old and the young in front of me are ordinary mortals, without the slightest hint of alien energy. But this is what makes things even more confusing, how can ordinary people grow such flowers in their yards, and where did they find them?

Beiqi looked over with my gaze, and was slightly shocked when he saw the pot of flowers, and raised his eyebrows and looked at me deeply. I avoided his gaze, don't expect me to explain, I was confused myself.

The little girl had been observing me, noticed my abnormality, walked up to me and said, "Sister, that flower is beautiful, right?" ”

Hearing the little girl's words, Murong Chuan and Song Yunjing turned their heads to look at the corner of the wall, and frowned in unison

I squatted down, touched the little girl's head, took her hand and laughed softly, "Well, it's beautiful." What's your name, little sister? ”

The little girl grinned, leaking out two little tiger teeth and smiled, "My name is Xiaodong." ”

I nodded, "Xiaodong, it's very good." Xiao Donghong's little face became even redder, and I pretended to be curious and asked, "Xiao Dong, do you know this flower?" Can you tell my sister where you got this flower? ”

Xiao Dong raised his head a little proudly, looked at me and smiled: "Of course I know, this flower is called Manzhu Shahua." It was given to me by Sister Sansheng in Qinghe Town. ”

I wanted to cry without tears, and I tried my best to avoid the alien race, and I finally met again, and sure enough, the three of them were unlucky systems that lived up to their reputation, and I was convinced.
