You guys...... Have you seen, Luo Yi?"

"Where, where have you seen him?"

Before Ye Li Yan and Xiao Heng could answer, Aunt Kui suddenly stood up and grabbed Ye Li Yan's arm.

His expression was so excited that his eyes were full of tears.

"Aunt Kui, ...... you are"

Ye Liyan was also startled, and grabbed her wrist with her backhand, for some reason.

"Don't scare the girl, let go, let go first. ”

At this time, Uncle Kui also came over, grabbed Aunt Kui's arm, and asked her to let go of Ye Li.

Aunt Kui woke up like a dream and immediately let go of her.

Xiao Heng took advantage of the situation and sat back in his position.

It's just that Aunt Kui on the other side sat down opposite, hiding her face and crying bitterly.

Seeing this, Uncle Kui no longer persuaded her, and he wiped his tears on the side, sighing.

The atmosphere suddenly became low and depressed.

"What's going on with them?"

"Well, give them some time. ”

Xiao Heng hugged Ye Lixuan, she leaned into his arms, and the person beside her dropped a kiss on the top of her hair, hugging her tighter.

After a while, after the two of them were in a bit more emotional, Uncle Kui took a deep breath before continuing,

"Luo Yihe...... It's our son. ”

"Son...... Son ......"

Ye Liyan didn't expect it at all, and subconsciously looked at Xiao Heng.

saw that the other party also shook his head, as if he didn't expect it either.

"So, why is he in the forest?"

"Lo disappeared early in the morning......"

Uncle Kui raised his wine glass and drank it all, and told the two of them about the past.

......

Originally, Luo Yi was running this tavern with them.

Suddenly, one day, several thunderbolts fell in the forest, and then a nameless fire broke out.

The fire burned for three days and three nights, and the wailing was all over the field, and it was very terrible.

Later, the overwhelming fire naturally spread to them.

At that time, Uncle Kui was holding the family and hiding in a corner of the house, thinking that he was in a catastrophe.

But who knew that at the last moment, a bright light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, and the speed was very fast, as fast as a meteor.

Immediately after, he and Aunt Kui fainted.

When he opened his eyes again, Luo Yi ...... It's gone.

At that time, the tavern was intact, not even a single step was burned.

But apart from the large trees that support this tavern, the surroundings are in shambles, almost ...... Not an inch of grass grows.

......

"That time, the Unbounded Forest was almost destroyed, and no one knows exactly what happened, only since then...... The Lord of the Immortal City vanished. A new lord soon took his place. And after that...... Everything was calm again.

But Luo Yi...... It never happened again. ”

"Immortal City Lord...... Gone?"

Yeli Mu Na repeated Uncle Kui's words, but under the dinner table, he was holding Xiao Heng's hand tightly.

It was so tight that Xiao Heng felt a little pain.

"Yes, the disappearance of the city lord was unexpected. It is said that her castle was also turned into a pile of ruins overnight, and later the new lord of the castle restored it. ”

"The new city lord...... How are the people?"

“...... I don't know. ”

Ye Liyan lowered her head, no one could see her expression, only Xiao Heng knew that her whole body was trembling faintly, although she was trying her best to endure it, she was still on the verge of collapse.

Because of the city of immortality, and because of ...... Herself.

......

"What are you going to do with the bitter orange blossom when you get it, do you need our help?"

At this time, Xiao Heng suddenly opened his mouth and directly changed the topic.

Uncle Kui nodded, and took advantage of the situation,

"Take that orange blossom in the evening, make another pot of tea tomorrow morning, and when I'm done, I can go into the cellar and shorten the time. ”

Avoiding the important and light, Uncle Kui didn't explain his specific operation method in the end, and Xiao Heng didn't ask, but just agreed lightly.

But as if he suddenly remembered something, Uncle Kui suddenly looked at Xiao Heng very solemnly and said,

"I have an important matter that I would like to ask Mr. Xiao for. ”

Xiao Heng was stunned for a moment, looking at Uncle Kui's expression, but did not say yes.

Uncle Kui smiled and said soothingly,

"Don't worry, it's not a big deal, but ...... It really takes a calm person like you to do it. ”

“...... Then you might as well talk about it first, I'...... Not always able to say yes to you. ”

"Good. ”

Uncle Kui didn't force him, just continued,

"Tomorrow at noon, a man will come to the tavern for a drink, and you can help me entertain him. ”

"Drinking?"

Xiao Heng obviously didn't understand.

At this time, Uncle Kui poured him a glass of wine,

"My tavern is actually a post station, and it entertains guests who travel from the Unbounded Forest. ”

Hearing this, Ye Liyan and Xiao Heng were both stunned.

Originally, they thought that this tavern was extraordinary, but they didn't expect it to be so special.

"You mean the guests coming through the curtain wall on the other side of the border?"

If you can successfully get the bitter orange blossom, you will naturally be able to understand the deepest secrets of this forest.

So Uncle Kui just nodded, not too surprised.

"Yes. ”

"Why do you want to drink here?"

"To stay alive. ”

Uncle Kui said calmly, but the two people opposite heard it in a fog.

In this way, Uncle Kui continued to explain,

"It takes a lot of energy to travel back and forth, and if it weren't for it, the soul would have been impacted and damaged. And the guests who can pass through the boundary curtain wall must pass through a special passage. But they shuttled through the first step, and being able to cross the forest to my tavern and drink wine was the final test. ”

"So you're saying, let me ...... tomorrow Test each other?"

"Yes. ”

Uncle Kui smiled inexplicably, reached out and stroked the short beard on his chin, smiling.

"How?"

"You don't have to make a fuss, you just ask him what kind of wine he drinks...... That's it. ”

......

In this way, Xiao Heng became the "temporary boss".

Later, when the two of them lay down on the bed, Ye Liyan was still making fun of him,

"Boss Xiao, I wish you a prosperous business tomorrow~"

"Ali, there is a price to pay for making fun of me. ”

"You dare to ...... Hmmm......"

Who knew that before Ye Liyan finished speaking, the person who was lying on his side honestly suddenly turned over and pressed over directly.

Nightly Death for this...... It did come at a terrible price.

......

In the middle of the night, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce.

Xiao Heng came out of the tavern, found a seat next to him, leaned against the big tree behind him, and looked up at the sky.

It's just that after a while, the tree door on his side sounded again, and in a moment, Uncle Kui carried a bottle of hazelnut wine and sat next to Xiao Heng.

Xiao Heng glanced at him and smiled slightly.

The two of them didn't speak, they went back and forth with wine bottles, and soon drank most of them.

"Uncle Kui,"

Blowing a slightly hot wind, Xiao Heng leaned against the trunk of the tree with his eyes closed, as if enjoying this rare relaxation.

"I want to ask why I chose you, not that girl?"

"Hmm,"

"You've been here with me before. ”

“......”
