For Jiang Chen's efforts, Jiang Yuan, Qin Xiao and the others all looked at them, in less than a month, they were promoted from the ninth rank martial source to the second stage martial spirit, Jiang Chen's talent really surprised them, of course, more may be embarrassed, I think they are not even a sixth-stage martial artist at this age

Facing the surprise of his father, Uncle Qin Xiao and others, Jiang Chen only smiled bitterly, without any pride, because he didn't think he was a genius, but his life was a little better, and he picked up the treasure of Shen Yun'er

In the process of cultivating hard, before he knew it, there was only one day left before the end of the year, and Jiang Chen was still continuing his cultivation path at this time, but due to the disturbance of the two beauties, Miao Miao and Xuan Yun, he had to stop and take the time to go to the Tang Martial Arts School to soak in books.

Of course, Miao Miao and Xuan Yun were just to inquire about Jiang Chen's cultivation progress, and when they learned that Jiang Chen had been promoted to the second rank of martial soul, the two Nizi were also surprised, staring at Jiang Chen with wide eyes, and in the face of this situation, Jiang Chen could only be helpless, sighed and left

Before leaving, Miao Miao and Xuan Yun both asked Jiang Chen to go to the town together on Chinese New Year's Eve, but Jiang Chen refused without hesitation, because he didn't like the excitement

After begging for a long time, Jiang Chen did not agree, no way, the two Nizi had to give up in frustration, it seems that this will be another lonely Chinese New Year's Eve

Jiang Mansion, on the roof of a certain room

There is no snow tonight, no dark clouds, the stars are shining, the vast night sky is beautiful, about the middle of the night, the moon that is half a circle like a boat, only to slowly get up, the cool moonlight poured down, cold and cold, people can't help but shiver

Jiang Chen was lying on the roof, his dark eyes staring at the starry sky at night, without any color, his face was tense, and he looked a little bitter

In his hand, holding a small ornament, take a closer look, it is a female doll in green clothes, carved very exquisitely, vivid, very similar to Jiang Suyan when he was wearing green clothes, faintly can smell a scholarly temperament, this female doll jewelry, it is also when he went to the town with Jiang Suyan to buy medicinal materials, passed by a jewelry stall, Jiang Suyan bought it and gave it to him

I remember that Jiang Suyan said at that time that when she was not there one day, let Jiang Chen pick up this jewelry doll and miss it, Jiang Chen didn't care at the time, thinking that how could his sister leave him?

However, my sister eventually left, and may never come back, leaving only fragments of the past

"It turned out that at that time, my sister knew that she was going to leave Qingshan Town......" The cool moonlight sprinkled on Jiang Chen's delicate face, and there was a different kind of brilliance, Jiang Chen, who had been immersed in the night, did not know how long it was at that moment, and came back to his senses, and then saw him sigh and said bitterly

Raising his right hand and looking at the ornament girl, Jiang Chen gently lifted the corners of his mouth, revealing a quiet smile, maybe the word tranquility is not very good, but it is indeed very appropriate

"I don't know where my sister went, what are you going to do?" Jiang Chen gently touched the ornament girl, and said to himself: "I really can't see my sister again? impossible, I don't believe it..."

"Ahh

Supporting the bricks and tiles with both hands, Jiang Chen yelled loudly, he didn't believe that he would never see his sister again

I remember when I asked my father Jiang Yuan, Jiang Yuan just said that my sister did what she had to do, and she didn't want to tell him everything else, no matter how he asked

"I don't believe it, I'll never believe it......" Peng put down his hands holding the bricks, Jiang Chen's whole person fell, his fists were clenched tightly, because the force was too strong, his palms turned blue-white, and his knuckles were rattling

"Hey, it would be nice to have a bottle of wine, so-called, wine into the intestines, sorrow, I don't believe this nonsense, I only believe that a drunk can relieve a thousand sorrows" Fiercely spat out his resentment, Jiang Chen sighed

"Do you want to drink?" ......

Just as Jiang Chen's words fell, on the roof in the distance, a woman with a bewitching figure stepped on the snow......

The woman is dressed in purple clothes, she looks extremely beautiful, and her delicate face is like the stars in the night sky, revealing an incomparable charm, which makes people intoxicated

Smelling the woman's pleasant sound when she was like a stream, Jiang Chen, who was in pain, turned his head slightly and glanced at the visitor

"I want to drink"

Jiang Chen, who was lying down, sat up and said to the woman

"How about I drink with you?" the woman said, shaking the two small jugs of wine in her hand, blinking her eyes

"It's an honor"

The woman's figure flashed, jumped over a distance of dozens of meters, and came to Jiang Chen's side

"Oh, here you go" The woman handed Jiang Chen a pot of wine in her hand, and then the jade hand waved her dress and sat down elegantly

"Thanks"

Took a pot of wine handed by Shen Yun, opened the lid, Jiang Chen raised his head and poured a sip into his stomach, only at this time, maybe he could really forget all the women are like Jiang Chen, opened the lid and took a sip, then wiped the water from the corners of his mouth, raised his beautiful eyes and stared at the night sky

"Are you thinking about your sister?" I don't know how long it took for the woman to withdraw her gaze from the night sky, then tilt her head and ask towards Jiang Chen

After raising his head and taking another sip of wine, Jiang Chen nodded and did not hide it

"Hehe, I knew it was like this" The woman shrugged her shoulders, raised the wine jug in her hand and touched Jiang Chen, raised her head and took a sip

"Don't you want to think about it, you're too lenient" Jiang Chen pursed his lips, and then snorted coldly, a white mist spit out from his mouth, with a bit of wine, and then slowly dissipated into the void

"How dare I care, what if you don't marry me?" the woman blinked and smiled playfully

"Marry you blood-drinking goblin, no matter how many lives I have, it's not enough to die" Jiang Chen pursed his lips again, then raised his head to drink, ignoring the expression of the woman next to him...

"Laundry, cooking, and warming the quilt, I've done it all, if you don't marry, you won't marry?" believe it or not, I'll kill you now" The woman put the wine jug aside, and then danced her fist at Jiang Chen, humming

"Take it if you want, who told me to owe you?" Jiang Chen stretched out his limbs and posed in a big character, looking like he was being slaughtered

Seeing Jiang Chen like this, the woman raised her eyebrows, and then smashed a punch on Jiang Chen's arm, the force was not very strong, otherwise with her strength, Jiang Chen would be smashed to hell with one punch?

Touching his arm, Jiang Chen tilted his head and asked seriously: "You shouldn't simply drink with me, what's the matter, to put it bluntly, what is the relationship between the two of us?"

It's rare, when she heard Jiang Chen's words, the woman's face turned slightly red, but she was also very human, and she was steadily suppressed in the next second

Picking up the flask again and taking a sip, the woman spoke: "Three elixirs to restore your father's strength, only two of them, I believe that if you go to some big cities to find them, you should be able to find them, if not, then go to some dangerous areas."

Nodding, the Ascending Immortal Grass has arrived, and now there are only two left, I believe that I will be able to restore my father's strength soon, Jiang Chen is looking forward to it, because he has not seen his father really smile for a long time

"I think, since your strength has reached the realm of martial souls, you should be able to go to the path of Heavenly Dao City, it seems that you still want to participate in the so-called city lord's choice?" After pondering for a while, the woman said

After thinking about it, Jiang Chen nodded: "Calculate the time, there are still two months before the city lord's choice, and we should also set off, it's just ......" Jiang Chen's eyes swept around, and his eyes showed reluctance

After all, this is where Jiang Chen grew up, no wonder he is reluctant, the woman brushed the green silk on her forehead, and then smiled: "It's not that you won't come back again, what's the reluctance?"

"Well, then when are we leaving?" After pondering for a moment, throwing away the other thoughts in his mind, Jiang Chen asked

"After the end of the year, the little girl will give you two more days to stay with your father" The woman smiled, then pointed to herself and said, "Am I good enough for you?"

"Tomorrow is the end of the year, the first day of the new year in two days, okay, just two days later" Jiang Chen also made up his mind, he had never been far from his hometown, and he was also looking forward to the trip to Tiandao City

What will the outside world be like? Jiang Chen clenched his fists, it should be very exciting

"Come, let's finish drinking it, so we can go back and rest, I heard that you will sleep soundly after drinking, I don't know if it's true or not?" The woman raised the wine jug in her hand, and after touching Jiang Chen, she poured it down

Under the moon, under the stars at night, a man and a woman put everything behind and just kept the wine in the pot

The next day

year-end

At the end of the year, every place in Qingshan Town is lit up, and red lanterns are hung early to welcome the arrival of the new year

In the past, the streets were deserted due to the cold, but today it is different, and there is a constant stream of pedestrians everywhere, and even walking seems a little crowded because it is the end of the year

The old streets are covered with a thick layer of snow, but this does not affect the high mood of the people, the sound of hawking, talking, firecrackers, and the sound of fireworks set off by children are all filled together, and the meaning of celebration is vividly embodied

In one place, however, it is alien to these festive voices, for there is only laughter and discussion

"Oh, that man is wrapped in snowflakes, and he's a snowman alive."

"Who the hell is this man? Instead of going home for the New Year's Eve to buy a good New Year's dinner, but curling up on the street and pretending to be a snowman, is his head in water?"

"This person won't be a beggar, but it doesn't look like it, although he is dressed in coarse cloth and a little tattered, but he is very neat, there is no reason why he can be a beggar?"

"Who knows? I heard that beggars nowadays have a style, begging with golden rice bowls, I heard that in other towns, some beggars even bring their little brothers to beg for food, but they are majestic, like the stars and the moon, at least we are not so majestic."

Nearly 100 people gathered in this place, and they were talking around a middle-aged man curled up on the ground, dressed in coarse cloth

This middle-aged man is about thirty or forty years old, he looks quite good, he curls up in the snowdrift motionlessly, and does not pay attention to the ridicule and ridicule of everyone, as if these people do not exist, no, it should not exist in the world, take a closer look, see that the man's eyes are red, I am afraid that something sad has happened......
