Chapter 1: Broken Jade

Next Chapter

The breeze blew gently, the sun shone lazily on the earth, and on a small dirt slope in Nilo Mountain, two children's buttocks were cocked high, arching and arching.

"Qin Yu, the sweet potato you just threw hit me on the head!" A girl's immature voice whirred and said,

"Smash it, smash it, anyway, you're so stupid, you might become smart if you smash it!" The little boy muttered disapprovingly, but he didn't raise his head, and he was still arching there.

"This is the eighth time you've hit me today! Why do you keep throwing it on my head! There was a faint sound of grinding teeth.

"Why don't you say that you hit my sweet potato yourself, my sweet potato doesn't have eyes, your eyes have gone to eat?" The little boy pursed his lips disdainfully, glanced back at the little girl who had stopped arching and looked at him with an angry face,

"Hey, stupid girl, if you don't dig again, your mother will be hungry again tonight!" Qin Yu threw the sweet potato in his hand, and with a finger of his right hand, a flame came out to wrap the sweet potato in it, and after a while, bursts of fragrance wafted out, and with a flick of his finger, the flame was extinguished.

"Oh, eat, stupid girl!" Fold a wide leaf and wrap the roasted sweet potato and hand it to the little girl,

The little girl suddenly smiled, and ran over very unprincipledly, forgetting that she was eager to bite him just now.

Qin Yu is a playmate who grew up with him, although he always likes to bully himself, but people are still very righteous, since his father left, everyone is far away from her, only he is willing to be friends with him, and now he helps her dig sweet potatoes every day, and he runs away when someone bullies her, so they won't really get angry with each other.

"Qin Yu, you are so powerful, your magic has reached the third level, right? If Xiao Wei knew that he would be angry again, he still set up a banquet in the town when he reached the second level last month! ”

The little girl was blowing whirring, and she couldn't wait to start picking the sweet potato skin, so hot that her little hands kept rotating.

"Cut, who cares about him, if he dares to provoke you again, I will burn him into a miscellaneous chicken! …… Hey, slow down, the sweet potatoes won't run away again, and no one will rob you! ”

"Roasted sweet potatoes are the most fragrant when they are hot, huhu, it's delicious!"

"You can't eat enough sweet potatoes every day, and you can still eat so deliciously, I'm really convinced!"

The girl's eyes darkened, but she soon smiled again;

"How delicious sweet potatoes can be made, sweet potato porridge, sweet potato cakes, baked sweet potatoes, boiled sweet potatoes, sweet potato soup...... There's a lot of deliciousness, you know! ”

The little boy also regretted a little after he spoke, and wanted to rub the little girl's head, but his hand just stretched out in the air and suddenly remembered something, his expression darkened, and he shrank back,

"How is your mom doing?"

"It's still the same, the doctor said that my mother has a heart disease, and she needs the earth elixir to cure it, but how can you get that kind of elixir?"

The little girl listlessly put down the steaming sweet potato, and the thought of her mother lying on the bed like a skin and bones had no interest in eating.

"It's okay, don't worry, just wait for Uncle Xiao to come back, Uncle Xiao must have a way!" Qin Yu said comfortingly, and nodded affirmatively.

"Well, just wait for Dad to come back, Dad should be back soon!" Putting aside the troubles in her heart for a while, the little girl turned her head and smiled at Qin Yu.

"Xiao Xue! Xiao Xue! Someone in the distance shouted and ran this way.

"It's a small gate!" Xiao Xue waved at the people, this is also one of the few people who will not bully her,

"I'm here!"

Xiao Xue...... Go home quickly, the Leng family is here...... said that she was going to get out of the marriage, and your mother was called to the hall! The man ran out of breath and said,

"What?!" The sweet potato in her hand fell to the ground with a snap, Xiao Xue was stunned, and she didn't have time to say goodbye to the two, so she ran down the mountain quickly.

Running to the door of the Xiao family's hall, Xiao Xue paused, took a deep breath and knocked respectfully on the door, and only dared to enter when he heard the reply inside, since his father did not return for five years, and the second uncle became the patriarch, he no longer had the right to step into this place casually, and this was the first time he came in five years.

It is still a spacious hall, nothing has changed, only the person who is high up on the main seat, Xiao Xue came late, there are already many people sitting in the hall, above the main seat is Xiao Xue's second uncle, the current acting patriarch, Xiao Ming, and there are three elders sitting next to him who look faintly angry, which are the respected elders of the Xiao family.

Below the three of them, her mother's emaciated body leaned back in a chair, and her pale face suppressed a wave of anger stared at several people opposite, a few people over there that Xiao Xue didn't know, an old man with a white beard and a pair of young men and women.

When the people in the house saw Xiao Xue coming in, they also stopped talking, and they were taken away from all their eyes by the girl who entered the house in an instant.

The girl was dressed in the simplest blue dress, with a few patches on it, her immature little face had not faded due to running too fast, and her eyebrows were slightly frowned and she looked at her mother worriedly.

At a young age, the coarse linen clothes can hardly hide the temperament of the body, frowning between the eyebrows and crying like a bud with dew, people can't help but want to pity and care, only ten years old is already like this, it is not difficult to imagine how the country and the city will be when they grow up!

The white-bearded old man on the opposite side shook his head secretly, it's a pity that this child's appearance is a waste,

And the young man who followed him didn't move his eyes from Xiao Xue when he entered the house, and the girl next to him angrily pinched his arm, and the young man came back to his senses with an exclamation, smiling at her embarrassedly, but his eyes peeked at him from time to time.

After saluting Xiao Ming and the elders, Xiao Xue walked quickly to Huang Yueyun's side and whispered:

"Mother, why are you here? Didn't Dr. Xue tell you not to get out of bed? ”

"If I don't come out again, I don't know what my daughter will be like when she is bullied!" Huang Yueyun covered her mouth and coughed lightly, and the long-term illness tortured the woman as withered, but the awe-inspiring temperament was still like a sword out of the sheath, and her sharp eyes swept over Xiao Ming on the main seat, and she narrowed slightly.

"Hehe, where is the sister-in-law, Xue'er is the eldest lady of the Xiao family, how can anyone bully her?"

smiled in disguise, but closed her mouth in embarrassment under Huang Yueyun's cold gaze. A pair of triangular eyes are half-closed, and the ghost light is flickering.

Hmph, look at what you have to be arrogant, your useless big brother can't come back, this girl doesn't have much to do, the Xiao family is now his world, I think you can be arrogant for a few days?!

The white-bearded old man saw that the atmosphere in the hall was a little depressed, and he couldn't help coughing lightly, got up and arched his hand;

"Patriarch Xiao, I came here today to be entrusted by the head of the family to cancel the marriage contract between Young Master Leng Tianya and Miss Xiao Xue, this is the jade pendant that was awarded to each other when the marriage contract was made, and I hope that Patriarch Xiao will be fulfilled!"

After the old man finished speaking, he handed a phoenix-shaped jade pendant the size of a baby's palm to Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming was about to raise his hand to take it, but he saw a wind whirlwind rolling up, and before he had time to react, the jade pendant instantly fell into Huang Yueyun's hand, although she was seriously ill, but after all, she was an eighth-level wind magician, but her face was a little paler than just now, looking at the jade pendant in her hand, she said coldly:

"The marriage contract was made by my husband and the head of the Leng family, do others have the right to speak?"

"Mrs. Xiao, this is also what our head of the family means, our head of the family thinks of the friendship with the patriarch Xiao and doesn't say much, so I let the old man come and go, and please Mrs. Xiao don't be embarrassed!"

The white-bearded old man also sank his face and said stiffly.

"When I was born Xue'er, the head of the Leng family asked for my husband's consent to set this marriage, and now that my husband has not returned, are you going to be so treacherous?!" Huang Yueyun shouted angrily, coughing violently, Xiao Xue hurriedly handed her a glass of water, and couldn't stop holding her heart.

Dr. Xue said that what my mother was most afraid of in this illness was her excitement, and now it is not even worse!

"Mrs. Xiao, you also know that the things of childhood cannot be done accurately, let alone ...... now" The old man wanted to say something and stopped his mouth, his lips squirmed a few times, but there was no exit.

But the girl on the side saw that the young man who came with her kept staring at Xiao Xue, and a burst of blood suddenly surged, and she got up and shouted;

"You demon daughter still wants to marry into our Leng family, dreaming! She doesn't look at her own virtue either, she doesn't have any elemental affinity, she's just a waste at all, my brother is now a fourth-level magician, and that person in Nia Town is comparable? Such a genius is also worthy of you? You still haven't returned to your father for five years, and most of them have died outside, I think you're a broom star! ”

"Shut up!" Huang Yueyun screamed hoarsely, and a mouthful of blood spurted out!

"Mom!" Xiao Xue was frightened, hurriedly hugged her body, and couldn't help comforting her,

"What the hell! Scare me! Hmph, look at your good daughter taking your whole family! Whoever she touches is unlucky! This kind of person wants to be my sister-in-law? Don't! The girl winced for a moment, but then she raised her head and snorted,

"Cold Bell!" The white-bearded old man on the side couldn't listen to it anymore, and shouted angrily, this eldest lady is really pampered!

"Wow" another mouthful of blood spurted out, Huang Yueyun's face was as pale as paper, a pair of eyes stared at Leng Ling, and he was about to attack her with all his strength, daring to insult her daughter, even if he was desperate, he couldn't let her go!

"Mom! No! Her kind of person is not worth it, Mom, we still have to wait for our father to come back, you don't pay attention to her, that kind of person Xue'er doesn't bother to marry, why are you persistent! ”

Xiao Xue hugged her body tightly, tears falling on her body,

Huang Yueyun looked at her daughter, the anxiety in her eyes was so distressing, her stunning appearance was so dazzling, suddenly, she smiled, haha laughed non-stop,

The people in the hall were all terrified by this strange laughter, and Leng Ling also stopped speaking under the old man's angry gaze,

"Yes, Xue'er, you're right, we don't want this treacherous Leng family! I, Huang Yueyun, swear here, Xiao Xue and Leng Tianya's marriage contract is over, from now on, men and women have nothing to do with marriage, violating this oath, just like this jade! ”

After speaking, he took out a dragon-shaped jade pendant of the same size as just now from his arms, and threw it all to the ground with a snap, and the two pieces of jade were broken in an instant.

The white-bearded old man of the Leng family also looked at this scene a little dumbfounded, he never thought that things would get to this point, and he couldn't help but glared at Leng Ling fiercely.

"Xiao Xue, give this to your mother to eat, and help her go back." One of the elders Xiao Jing in the upper seat couldn't look at it, handed Xiao Xue a bottle of pills, looked at Huang Yueyun worriedly and said,

"Well, thank you, Elder." Helping up her mother, Xiao Xue's immature little face was dyed with a touch of perseverance, and she took a deep look at Xiao Ming and the Leng family, who were in a high position, and stepped out of the hall without saying a word, but that glance was like a knife across the hearts of several people!
