Chapter 224: The Whereabouts of the Sparrow

Changxing followed Yan'er out of Xiushui Town, and Yan'er chattered a lot of things along the way, although Yan'er's speech logic was relatively scattered, Changxing still roughly figured it out.

Yan'er's surname is Wu, and she has an older brother named Wu Qi, who is more than ten years older than her, and the Wu family has lived in a small place called Wujia Village in the world for generations.

The Wu family is wealthy, his father has the fame of Xiucai, he can earn some money every month by teaching in the village, and there are more than 20 acres of paddy fields at home, because Wu Xiucai is not good at farming, he rents it to the villagers to plant, and collects some rent every year.

In order to treat Wu Xiucai, the Wu family had sold most of the land, and at that time, Xiucai's wife was six or seven months pregnant, and Wu Qi was only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy.

Wu Qi used to be a scholar who only read sage books, but after this family change, he quickly grew up, learned to farm with the villagers, and later Xiucai Niangzi gave birth to a daughter, that is, Yan'er.

Wu Qi in order to support his mother and sister, in addition to serving the dealer, and follow the village of Orion to learn to hunt, set traps, under the trap, he is clever, learn fast, less than a year, but also out of the teacher, Xiucai Niangzi since giving birth to Yan'er, the health has been bad, and then when Yan'er was two or three years old, finally couldn't stand up, died, since then the brother and sister depend on each other.

About four or five years ago, Wu Qi rescued a girl who was in a coma on a hunting trip into the mountains, and this girl was Xiaoque. After Xiaoque woke up, he said that he had no father and mother, was alone, and had nowhere to go, so Wu Qi had no choice but to leave Xiaoque at Wu's house.

Later, Wu Qi and Xiaoque fell in love for a long time, and they got married under the witness of the villagers.

The days passed, Yan'er gradually grew up, but slowly noticed that something was wrong, sister-in-law Xiaoque, always left Wujia Village in March every year, but more than a month, she came back by herself, Wu Qi asked her, she didn't say, everyone in Wujia Village knew that Xiaoque had no family, and it was inevitable to arouse suspicion every year, and then rumors spread in the village.

For the sake of the family's reputation, the Wu family decided to let Wu Qi divorce his wife, Wu Qi did not obey, was expelled from the family, and had to leave the village and moved to the nearby mountains to live, but the life in the mountains was hard, and Xiaoque felt that Wu Qi's brothers and sisters were abandoned by the family, completely because of her reasons, the guilt in her heart, under the double oppression of spirit and material, the body quickly decayed.

But even so, in March this year, Xiaoque still stubbornly wanted to go out, but Wu Qi couldn't bear it, and asked again and again, Xiaoque told her secret: she was going to a place in Xiushui Town, waiting for her young lady to come back.

Changxing has been cultivating for many years, and her mood is already different from when she was young, and it is difficult to have too many emotional ups and downs in ordinary trivial matters, but when she heard this, she still felt a sour sourness in her throat welling up in her eyes, and she almost burst into tears.

Grandma's birthday is at the end of March, and every year at this time, Changxing and Xiaoque celebrate Grandma's birthday.

When Changxing left the Meng family to go to Zixiamen, it was only a few days before Grandma's birthday, Changxing was very sorry, and said at that time: "If I can go down the mountain freely in the future, I will definitely rush back before Grandma's birthday......"

The little finch must not be able to find himself, in order to wait for himself, he will be there every year

What was the reason for Xiaoque and Grandma to leave the Meng family? Why was the situation that Yan'er said different from what Changkong said?

Wujia Village is hundreds of miles away from Xiushui Town, and for mortals, it takes about ten days and half a month to get there by carriage, but for cultivators, it only takes a blink of an eye.

However, Yan'er's expression was not clear enough, and she took the wrong road several times, and finally arrived at Wujia Village half an hour later.

didn't enter the village, Yan'er took Changxing straight up the mountain.

There are a few thatched huts in the middle of the mountainside, a small courtyard is surrounded by a fence in front of the house, and a vegetable field is set up in the yard, it is early autumn, the vegetable field is very harvested, a man in his thirties, is squatting in the yard to sharpen his machete, hears the movement, and looks back.

Yan'er had already run forward quickly and shouted in surprise: "Brother!"

The man who sharpened the knife was none other than Wu Qi.

Wu Qi was also very happy to see Yan'er, and he took two steps to meet him and shouted, "Yan'er!"

Looking at Meng Changxing behind Yan'er again, although Wu Qi was amazed, he did not lose his temper, Changxing nodded slightly, the appearance of a person who cultivates the truth is already outstanding, not to mention that Changxing's appearance is the top in the cultivation world. Wu Qi is an ordinary man, and he has not lost his temper because of this, which shows that he is upright.

"Brother, I've found the person my sister-in-law is looking for!" Yan'er was very excited, pointed at Changxing, and said, "It's her!"

"Yan'er, don't be rude!" Wu Qi's face was solemn, he pulled Yan'er behind him, and saluted Changxing again: "Under Wu Qi, it is Xiaoque's husband, the fairy invites in, I will go and call the insider out." ”

Changxing nodded slightly, Wu Qi had already stepped into the hut quickly, and after a while, he heard an exclamation inside, followed by staggering and hurried footsteps, the door opened, and a woman in a thorn hairpin cloth skirt appeared in front of her, with apricot eyes and a small face, although she had brought the vicissitudes of wind and frost, but her eyebrows and eyes did not change, it was Xiaoque.

"Miss!" Xiao Finch's eyes instantly turned red, and regardless of Wu Qi's support, he was about to pounce on Changxing.

Changxing had already stepped forward to support her: "Little Sparrow!"

Xiao Que suddenly hugged Changxing like a child, and cried bitterly.

Changxing gently stroked her back, soothing her emotions with spiritual power, and after a long time, Xiaoque stopped crying, Changxing comforted her while probing her pulse, fortunately, but she was too worried, hurt her heart, nourished with aura, supplemented by medicine to recuperate, and slowly it was fine.

Wu Qizao took two benches out and put them in the courtyard, and asked Yan'er to go to the kitchen to boil water, and he went up the mountain himself, planning to come back from hunting some game.

"Miss, I thought I wouldn't see you again! Grandma can't find you!" said the little bird, a little excited after she had just calmed down.

Changxing simply put his hand on the back of her heart and soothed: "Xiaoque, I'm back, you don't have to be afraid, what happened back then? Why did you and Grandma suddenly leave the Meng family?"

"Actually, I don't know. Xiaoque frowned slightly, and recalled: "After the young lady left, my grandmother and I stayed in the Wisteria Garden, and there was no shortage of daily necessities, and the life was very leisurely. ”

"About seven or eight years ago, once grandma went out to buy something, came back a little nervous, I asked grandma, grandma first did not say, and then I couldn't help but grind hard bubbles, only to say the reason, it turned out that there were strangers outside to inquire about the young lady, grandma said that it felt like those people were cultivators, and the tone was not good, grandma was worried about the young lady, and specially found the third son to give it to you

Letter. ”

The third son in the mouth of the little bird is the long star Meng Changkong.

"Brought me a letter?" Changxing thought slightly, he didn't receive such a letter, and then counted the time, seven or eight years ago, when she was in the heavenly realm, eighty percent of them didn't receive it, and Grandma said that eighty percent of the cultivators who inquired about themselves were sent by Lin Fangfei.

Back then, Li Chuyan was also because someone was investigating Changxing in detail behind his back and felt that something was wrong, so he wanted to go to Zixiamen to warn Changxing, and there were some later things.

Xiaoque recalled, while telling: "Later, there were a few similar things, grandma has not been able to contact the young lady, a little worried, asked the third son to inquire, and did not inquire about any unfavorable news, so he gradually relaxed, but it was not until more than four years ago that Mrs. suddenly came to find grandma." ”

Madame? Is it a mother? Why did my mother come to find Grandma? Changxing was very strange in his heart.

"At that time, Grandma took me out, I don't know what Mrs. and Grandma said, but after Mrs. left, Grandma has been preoccupied......" Xiaoque's eyes revealed a look of confusion:" After Mrs. left, about two months later, one day, I went to the back mountain to pick fruits, I actually met Grandma, Grandma was very nervous, panicked, if I didn't call her, she didn't see me, Grandma told me not to go back to Wisteria Garden, so I left in a hurry, as soon as I entered Wisteria Garden at night, Grandma told me to leave Meng's house, asked me if I could leave......"

"Naturally, I have to leave, Grandma is old, I want to take care of her, naturally I want to go with her, Grandma decided to leave early in the morning of the next day, let me go and pack my things......" Xiaoque said more and more slowly, finally paused, looked at Changxing and said: "Miss, now think about it, Grandma was very nervous at the time, as if she was afraid of something, I was too stupid at the time to find out." ”

"It's not your fault. Changxing patted Xiaoque's hand and said, "It's normal for a person to be a little nervous when he leaves a place where he has lived for a long time, don't worry too much." ”

"No, it's not like that, I seemed to be listening to Grandma at the time, talking to myself, madam, Miss Seven?" Xiaoque said, frowning and thinking: "I'm in a hurry, I just care about packing up my things, I didn't listen carefully, I seem to vaguely remember what Grandma said: I have to hide, I can't let anyone find anything......"

Changxing frowned, Miss Seven, Changfeng, when Changfeng was in the Meng family, she didn't have much to do with Grandma, how could Grandma mention her?

If it's a mortal, Grandma is in the Meng family, so there's no need to be afraid at all, if it's a cultivator, if it is a disciple of the Meng family, it should be a disciple of the Meng family, and it won't do anything to Grandma a mortal, who is it that makes Grandma so nervous and scared that she needs to hide?

"It was the third prince who helped us hire a carriage, but as soon as I got out of Xiushui Town, Grandma changed a carriage again, and walked for more than ten days, one night we stayed in an inn, Grandma was unusual, and I talked a lot, from when I was a child, until Miss left home, and then I was very sleepy, so I slept, and I heard Grandma repeatedly tell me, don't look for her in the future, don't go back to Meng's house, and can't tell anyone about living in Meng's family, let me live well in the world. ”

"On the second day, I woke up and found that Grandma was gone, most of the coiling was left to me, I asked the inn's little two, and hurried to chase Grandma, but no matter how I looked for it, I couldn't find it, and later, I got lost, most of the coiling was also lost in the inn, and I was in a daze and fell to the back mountain of Wujia Village, and was rescued by Wu Qi. ”
