"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, Xiao Qi is back......" Xiao Qi ran into the broken temple, but saw a rickety figure lying on the haystack.

Hearing someone shouting, the figure moved slightly, turned around with difficulty, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Xiao Qi, is it you?" Are you really back? ”

"It's me, it's me, mother-in-law, your little seven is back!" Bai Xiaoqi rushed forward and hugged the thin and stiff body, and for a while his heart was mixed. "Mother-in-law, are you sick? Xiao Qi will take you to see the doctor! ”

"No need, no need, I know my body, I'm afraid I'm going to die, this is dragging my last breath until you come back, I can see you for the last time, the old woman is content!" The mother-in-law pillowed Bai Xiaoqi's arm and stretched out her hand to caress her cheek, smiling with satisfaction, "My Xiaoqi has grown up and is getting more and more beautiful." I think when I scooped you up in the river, you were only a little ......" Speaking of this, the mother-in-law seemed to remember something, took out a mirror from under the pillow and handed it to Bai Xiaoqi. "This is the mirror you carried with you when I picked you up, maybe it is a token left by your father and mother. If you keep it, you may have a chance to recognize your biological parents in the future. Xiao Qi, my mother-in-law is leaving, and I have to trouble you to take care of your younger brother Xiao Jiu. ”

"Mother-in-law, Xiao Qi knows, Xiao Qi will put away the mirror, where is my brother Xiao Jiu?" Bai Xiaoqi put away the mirror with tears. Looking around, there was no shadow of other children, so he asked his mother-in-law suspiciously.

"At his feet......" The mother-in-law laboriously pointed at Hachi, and closed her eyes with peace of mind.

"Mother-in-law!" Bai Xiaoqi cried and hugged his mother-in-law in his arms, even though he had experienced too much death, his heart had long been numb. But seeing the person he loves the most leave him, Bai Xiaoqi is still heartbroken. The biggest reason to support myself to survive again and again in the past three years is to come back here and return to my mother-in-law. Now he is back, but his mother-in-law has left him forever. Why is fate so unfair! There was a light in Bai Xiaoqi's heart that gradually went out, and it would never light up again.

"Xiao Qi, don't be sad, your mother-in-law will be at ease when she leaves. You still have me and Hachi! Now there is another little nine, you can rest assured that we will be with you! Qin Yu comforted, "Let's bury my mother-in-law, and we will accompany you to come back to see her often when we have time." ”

Bai Xiaoqi wiped his tears, walked to the japonica tree behind the broken temple, and dug up the soil on the ground with a shovel. "My mother-in-law liked the jacara flower the most when she was alive, and the mother-in-law said that the reason why she chose this broken temple was because of this jacaranda tree. I remember that I promised my mother-in-law that when I grew up, I would plant a large area of jacaranda trees for my mother-in-law here......"

"Xiao Qi, there will be one in the future, and my mother-in-law will see it." Qin Yu brought a shovel out of nowhere, and quickly dug a pit on the ground that was wide and narrow, and then carried his mother-in-law under the tree with Xiao Ba, and Xiao Qi carefully sorted out the remains of her mother-in-law. Then, with the help of Qin Yu and Xiaoba, he buried his mother-in-law under the tree.

After burying his mother-in-law, Xiao Qi walked out of the broken temple in despair. Then he suddenly turned around and ran towards the ruined temple as if he remembered something.

"Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi, what's wrong with you? What are you looking for? ”

"My brother Xiao Jiu, where is my brother Xiao Jiu?" Bai Xiaoqi grabbed Qin Yu and asked in a panic.

"Here!" Qin Yu I was a little distressed and helpless and pointed to the things in Xiao Ba's hand, only to see a turtle of unknown breed stretching his neck to look out, and his mung bean-sized eyes stared at Bai Xiaoqi pitifully.

Bai Xiaoqi took the turtle from Xiaoba's hand, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled. "Let's go."

Bai Xiaoqi had no worries in Luohe City, so the group hired a carriage and rushed towards Fengming City.

After driving for two days, they came to Fengming City, the largest city in the Nine Domains.

Fengming City is very lively, and there is an endless stream of monks and merchants. The goods on both sides of the street are even more dazzling. The three of them, who had never seen such a lively scene, were dazzled for a while.

After all, Qin Yu was older than the two of them, and he was the first to come back to his senses and said to them: "Let's find a place to live first, and then inquire about this sect conference, after all, the conference will start the day after tomorrow." We need to prepare early. ”

Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba also collected their thoughts when they heard this, and followed Qin Yu to find a place to stay. After a while, the three of them came to an inn and asked for a room to stay.

"I saw a teahouse opposite, it was very lively, it should be more convenient to inquire about the news, let's go to the teahouse for a while, and by the way, we can eat something." Qin Yu said to the two.

"Well, good!" Xiao Qi responded lightly.

"Now there are a lot of people in Fengming City who come to participate in the sect conference, and there are not a few people with family backgrounds, these people are not what we can provoke now, so we must not attract attention when we act outside in the past two days, and provoke right and wrong. Got it? Qin Yu instructed with some unease. Seeing that the two nodded in agreement, he took them to the teahouse opposite.
