After this urban expansion, people's lives have changed a lot.

First of all, people's sense of crisis and fear has been further reduced.

The threat of alien beasts to the city has been diluted a lot, and people seem to have forgotten the fear of being dominated by alien beasts.

Secondly, people's quality of life has improved.

This is reflected in the eating and moving areas.

In terms of diet, people will take back the areas occupied by foreign beasts and develop the planting and breeding areas.

In the growing area, vegetables and fruits are grown.

In the breeding area, some of the lowest exotic beasts are raised.

This alien beast has a very low degree of alienation and can be raised like a domestic animal.

It's just that they are more aggressive and wild than domestic animals.

However, in the breeding grounds where exotic beasts are raised, there are mages in charge of safety matters, and the safety of the keepers is guaranteed.

Then, the owner of the travel agency business once again showed his talents and obtained the approval of the government.

Travel agencies have opened up tourist areas in the area occupied by alien beasts in the past.

Tourists, you can visit the planting and breeding areas.

In the case of the course led by the guide, and there is a mage to protect the safety casually, the number of tourists is very large.

Once the Spider Valley, it has become the most popular tourist destination.

The reason is that it was in the vicinity of Spider Valley that the search team two years ago found a special spell graphic.

As a result, not only the common people, but also many mages wanted to try their luck.

The wet market is more lively than it was two years ago, first of all, vegetables and fruits are not so expensive.

People no longer have to worry about having to eat meat every day.

Coming out of the wet market, passing through a damp alley next to the wet market, a bit of a bad smell emanated from the alley.

A lot of sewage collects in this potholed alley, and people who finish buying food will leave in a hurry.

Probably only the stall owners who are accustomed to the smell of sewage will not be affected, and every day after the market management department closes the market, it will wash the place, but every day new sewage will accumulate.

Even during the day, when you walk into this alley, you will be harassed by mosquitoes and flies.

At this time, Xu Qiu carried the dishes and said to the alley: "Beyat, can you have a little interest?" Hurry up and get me out of it, I'm done buying groceries and I'm going home. ”

Beyat's voice came from the alley: "Only in this kind of place can I feast." The mosquitoes here, I'll take one bite at a time, and you can't understand the wonderful feeling of bursting. After a bite, the plasma in the mosquito's stomach bursts in the mouth, tsk, it's so enjoyable! ”

"However, ninety percent of the mosquitoes here have sewage in their stomachs, right?"

Xu Qiu said the cruel truth, and then, the air was quiet for several seconds.

Then came the sound of Beyat vomiting.

After a long time, Beyat, who was lying on Xu Qiu's back in the form of a weak black widow, said resentfully: "King, next time, can you not say something disgusting when I am eating?" ”

"Have you ever eaten flies?" Xu Qiu asked.

"Please, those eaters, I won't even look at them."

"But mosquitoes also visit the toilet, and although they don't eat, they do have urine."

"King, you've gone too far, ......"

Béat couldn't stop retching.

Xu Qiu laughed, and then said, "Okay, I won't joke with you about this in the future." ”

Liang Yuning asked worriedly, "What's wrong with Sister Beate?" Feeling unwell? ”

Beyat said softly, "I'm okay Xiao Ning." ”

Suddenly, Xu Qiu's footsteps slowed down.

Beyat could feel Xu Qiu's abnormality and asked softly, "King, what happened?" ”

I heard Xu Qiu say: "Someone is following, you quietly go and investigate to see who it is." I went home first. ”

This kind of thing is left to Beyat to handle, Xu Qiu is very relieved.

With Byaat's tiny form, it will be imperceptible to the other party.

Beyat climbed down from Xu Qiu's body and waited for the person following him to approach.

And Xu Qiu didn't have to worry about anything at all, and went straight in the direction of home.

Under the big poplar tree, a group of uncles and aunts are still gathered there, and no one gossips about Xu Qiu anymore.

Xu Qiu didn't care about these people, said hello to everyone, and went upstairs.

With Xu Qiu's current physical condition, climbing the stairs no longer feels as tired as before.

However, for Liang Yuning, climbing to the sixth floor was a little out of breath.

Xu Qiu saw a woman standing at the door of his house.

The woman was blonde and blue-eyed, staring at the door of his house with a tired expression.

Xu Qiu looked at it and didn't know this person.

But since she was standing at the door of his house and staring at the door of their house, she must have come to his house.

But who is this person?

Among the people Xu Qiu knew, except for one Margarel, the rest of his acquaintances were all Chinese.

Could it be that this woman has something to do with Margarel?

The same blonde hair and blue eyes, in Margarel's human form, have some similarity in facial features.

From this, the identity of this woman can basically be determined.

But what is she doing here?

Xu Qiu probably pondered a few answers in his heart.

The woman saw someone go upstairs, and a young man, a little girl, was already standing in front of her.

So, she put away her tired expression very much, and asked in a very calm tone, "Excuse me, are you classmate Xu Qiu?" ”

Xu Qiu smiled and asked, "You're Margarel's mother, right?" Keeping you waiting. ”

Opening the door, Xu Qiu made a gesture of please.

"Please come in!"

The woman's expression stretched for a moment, she should have been infected by Xu Qiu's politeness.

"Thank you!"

She entered the house and immediately observed the situation in the house.

She turned her head slightly, and her expression did not change much from observation.

"You may be seated!"

Xu Qiu put down the dish in his hand, moved the chair, and placed it in front of the woman.

Just by the woman's expression and eyes, as well as her tone, you can judge that she is well-educated and has very high qualities.

This kind of person should also be very serious at work.

"Thank you!"

The woman sat down in an upright sitting position with her hands on her knees.

Perhaps because she was a little tired from walking and climbing stairs in high heels, she tried to lift her knees as much as possible so that her feet could rest.

"Aren't you going to sit?" The woman glanced at Xu Qiu.

Xu Qiu nodded, moved a chair, and sat diagonally opposite her.

But Xu Qiu was not as upright as her, but sat on the chair very casually, crossing Erlang's legs.

The woman's brow furrowed imperceptibly.

"You came to me because of Margarel?"

"Xu Qiu, your logical ability and observation are worthy of appreciation, you recognized me before I introduced myself."

This woman doesn't have many smiling faces, but Xu Qiu can understand it.

Margarel once said that her parents are now engineers working for technology companies.

I don't know if it's her profession that makes her mother's serious character, or if she's always been this kind of character.

"If you want to judge your identity, it's not difficult, and if you are someone else, you can quickly judge it." Xu Qiu said modestly.

"What about your mother? I heard that there are only two people in your family, you and your mother. ”

As the woman spoke, she looked at Liang Yuning.

Xu Qiu didn't bother to explain Liang Yuning's identity at all, there was no need.

"Xiao Ning, go to your mother's room and take care of her."

Liang Yuning was very obedient, nodded, and entered Wang Sulan's room.

"My mother is not in good health now, she is sick in bed, I'm sorry, she can't come out to entertain you."

"It's okay, then I'll just talk to you."

"If there's anything, just say it."

The woman paused and said, "I want you to keep your distance from Margarel." ”

Sure enough, the girl's parents avoided the girl coming to her friends of the opposite sex, most of them like that.

"I think you've probably misunderstood something."

"You don't have to explain, I know you're not in a relationship. The purpose of my trip is to prevent you from becoming a romantic relationship in the future. ”

Saying this, the woman's expression became unusually serious.

Xu Qiu felt funny in his heart, if it could really become a love relationship, he wouldn't have to wait until now.

It hasn't developed into a relationship for 2,000 years, and it won't be in the future.

But such words cannot be spoken.

Even if she told her, she wouldn't believe it.

"The two of us, it's impossible, this can put a hundred hearts."

"As long as you see each other often, I won't be reassured."

"Well, suppose, I mean hypothetical, it's possible for us to develop into this relationship. So what's your reason for blocking it? ”

The woman smiled slightly, even if she didn't deliberately show any attitude, but there was still some contempt on her face.

"With all due respect, my requirement for my daughter's spouse is to come from a well-educated family, to have sufficient cultivation and quality, but you are obviously not up to the mark. Forgive me for speaking more straightforwardly. ”

Xu Qiu also smiled and said, "Actually, I speak relatively straightforwardly, and I don't like to do any embellishments. I'll tell you this, that while Margarel and I can't be a couple, no one can stop us from meeting. Including you. ”

"At a young age, the city is very deep. Do you want to offer any conditions? Our family is not a rich family, and besides, I will not trade with my daughter, and if you make a offer about money, I will not agree to you. ”

"There are no conditions, if it doesn't work, it won't work."

"Xu Qiu, I came to talk to you with sincerity. Not in terms of money, but I can offer a condition that satisfies you. ”

"Needless to say, you can't do it."

"Don't you want to hear it?"

"There's no need for that."

"Is that okay? I won't stop you from meeting for now, as long as you can be admitted to the Shangjiang City Legislator College, I can consider letting you have a relationship with Margarel. ”

"I can easily get into this academy, but it won't be because of your conditions."

"Xu Qiu, are you too conceited and arrogant?"

The woman's expression became gloomy.

"You don't understand, what does Margarel mean to me? It can be compared to a family member, or a sister. ”

Xu Qiu recalled the first time she saw Margarille, and at that time, she was full of despair.

At that time, Margarel was cornered, and at that time, she no longer trusted anyone.

Everything about Margaril, only he knows, and only he understands Margarel's experience.

After a few seconds of silence, the woman seemed to realize.

She stood up and said, "I'm glad you have such an attitude, I hope you are telling the truth, I hope you don't lie to me, let alone Margarre." As a mother, I can defend everything with my life. ”

"This sentence is also what I want to say, I will also defend it with my life, oh no, it should be said to protect her, I will not let anyone bully her and humiliate her."

The woman saw the sincerity in Xu Qiu's eyes, and seemed to let go of her hanging heart.

"I hope you really value Margarel so much, and if you are sincere, I can accept your relationship."

"Don't mess around with the mandarin duck score."

"Well, let time verify the development of things in the future. Excuse me today, I take my leave! ”

The woman said, turning to leave.

Xu Qiu sent it to the door, didn't say any polite words, didn't say a word, and watched her go downstairs.
