The wall next to the door is covered with green creepers, and behind them is a neat and untidy courtyard. The small courtyard is not big, there is only one single room, which is closed on all sides, and only the mouth is facing the sky. There was a tree in it, it was in full bloom at this time, Xing Zeyuan and Youyou jumped into it, and the child on the other side of the street dropped the toys in his hand, went home and said to his mother, I saw someone jump into the small yard opposite.

His mother went out to take a look, and took the child to the Huaxi Sword Pavilion.

"I used to work out in the yard a lot. ”

Xing Zeyuan said, spreading his arms as if he was measuring.

"I always feel that the courtyard has become smaller. ”

"Maybe you've seen a bigger world!"

"My stupid girl's eloquence is getting better and better. ”

"Hey, of course. ”

After all, she stays with Xing Zeyuan every day, and more or less, she can pick up a few nice words from him.

"I want to go in. ”

Youyou pointed to the room, and Xing Zeyuan noticed that the old lock of the door was not gray.

"It seems that Aunt Meijing often comes to clean up for me. ”

Xing Zeyuan said, pulling out a brick under the door with his hand, and there was a small rusty iron box inside.

"What is this? Key?"

"Well, I was afraid of forgetting, so I gave Uncle Ichiro a key, and I put another one here. ”

The door opened, and Xing Zeyuan went in and opened the window facing the small courtyard to let Youyou in.

Entering the door is the kitchen, one side of the kitchen is the bathroom, and then there is Xing Zeyuan's bedroom, a bed, a chair, a table and a cabinet, this is all his furniture.

"I didn't expect it to be so fast, and seven years have passed. ”

Xing Zeyuan stroked the desk, he used to sit here and watch the stars in the sky, and the homework in the school was also completed here. Time will not be merciful, it is disappearing all the time, and when he looks back, he can no longer find his original self, Xing Zeyuan can't even imagine how quiet his life was in those years.

"Xiaoxing, why is there nothing in the room?"

Youyou knew that Xing Zeyuan was starting to feel melancholy, so he changed the topic. Sure enough, Xing Zeyuan replied gently.

"I put it away, and I thought I would come back. ”

"I'm definitely going to come back, but the room is a little small, what should I do if I have a baby in the future?"

Youyou hugged Xing Zeyuan's waist and smiled happily, revealing two rows of neat teeth.

"Our future children will surely be as cute as you. ”

"No, handsome as you are. ”

"That's right, otherwise what if you're as stupid as you?"

"Am I not stupid?"

Youyou crossed her hands on her hips, Xing Zeyuan learned from her, and then said in unison:

"I'm clever. ”

"Hmph~ Xiaoxing, you are bad. ”

"Do you like that?"

"Like. ”

The young sneer, stupid, very cute.

Sitting on the bed board, Xing Zeyuan said:

"See that palm on the wall in the yard?"

"Where, I'll see, oh, oh, see, see. ”

"I used to be weak, and at first I could only do push-ups against the wall, from 20 at the beginning, to 100 later, it took me many months, because I did it every day, so I left a pair of hand prints on the wall. ”

"Wow~"

Xing Zeyuan, who looked at him with adoring eyes, wanted to laugh, this is not a big deal, but in the eyes of his sweetheart, his lover's shortcomings will be smaller, and his advantages will be infinitely expanded.

"And then, and then?"

"Then I'm getting better and better, and I'm basically fine with running! By the way, I'll let you try my craft later, how about it?"

"Yes, yes. ”

"What do you want to eat?"

"Hmm...... What do you do, I eat, it's best to raise you. ”

"I'll take out the pots and pans first, I don't know if I can still use them. ”

When Xing Zeyuan turned the pot and bowl out, the courtyard door was opened, and then there was the sound of footsteps, although the light footsteps were small, but they couldn't escape the faint sound.

"I'll take a look. ”

Youyou said, Xing Zeyuan bent down and picked up the pots and bowls.

"Don't do it. ”

"Okay. ”

Girls are already tall, and young girls like 1.7 meters are even taller because of their good figure and prominent curves. As she stood by the door, the two men who were walking into the courtyard held the bamboo knives at their waists with both hands.

"Who are you?

"You just trespassed on the house, this is my home!"

Youyou snorted, and the appearance of her hands on her waist made the two of them look excited, such a good-looking girl, except for senior sister Huaxi Henai, they have never seen anyone else. Although they thought so in their hearts, the two still said:

"Nonsense, how did the place where Hua Xi's home here became your home?"

"You're from the Flowers?"

"Yes, we are the seventeenth apprentices of the Huaxi Sword Pavilion. ”

"That's family. ”

As you spoke, Xing Zeyuan put the pots and pans on the kitchen table and looked at the two sixteen or seventeen-year-old boys.

"Is Uncle Ichiro okay?"

"You...... Are you?"

"I'm Xing Zeyuan. ”

Xing Zeyuan smiled, and the words he said made the two of them stunned for a long time.

"Silly?"

Youyou laughed out loud as she spoke.

"Senior brother, it's true...... Is it really a senior brother?"

"Yes, let's go, let's go to the Sword Pavilion together. ”

"Good!"

The two hurriedly explained.

"I'm sorry, senior brother, it's a lot of offense, we didn't know you were back, just now the aunt on the other side came to the sword hall and said that someone jumped into your small courtyard, and the teacher thought it was an empty door, so let's take a look." ”

The boy was a little nervous, but Xing Zeyuan smiled and said:

"It's okay, it's okay, we just came back, and we haven't had time to go to the Sword Pavilion yet. ”

Xing Zeyuan said, waving to the woman across the street.

"Auntie, it's been a long time. ”

The woman was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed.

"Is it Xiaoxing? Xiaoxing is back?"

By the time she reacted, the four of Xing Zeyuan had already walked away. Xing Zeyuan asked the boy how Uncle Ichiro and Aunt Mijing were doing, and the news they heard was not bad.

"By the way, senior brother, who is this?"

"I'm her wife. ”

Youyou said, grabbing Xiaoxing's hand.

"Sister Youyou?"

Xing Zeyuan nodded, for some reason, although Youyou was older than them, they called Youyou "sister", which gave Xing Zeyuan a very strange feeling. In fact, Youyou is still a child, but sometimes she is extra strong.

"I've heard the teacher say, Senior Brother, you and Senior Sister He Nai are his pride. ”

"Uncle Ichiro......"

"By the way, Senior Brother, you will be surprised to see Hui Xuezi in a while. ”

"Why?"

"She's amazing now, we're no match for him, she's only fifteen!"

"That's really looking forward to it. ”

Soon, Xing Zeyuan and Youyou came to the Sword Pavilion, and the disciples were competing.

Ichiro saw Xing Zeyuan across the open-air training ground, and the latter waved at him while watching Hui Yukiko's competition. The last time I saw her was three years ago, twelve-year-old Hui Xuezi has changed a lot compared to now, although it has only been three years, but the face shape has changed a little, and the body curve has become more and more significant.

Now she is as beautiful as the previous He Nai, with a high ponytail and a knife in her hand.

Within three minutes, the opponent of the same age fell. Then, Hui Xuezi did not put away the knife, but raised the bamboo knife and slashed towards Xing Zeyuan. Everyone didn't understand who she was referring to, and they didn't see the teacher talking, and when they turned their heads, Xing Zeyuan had already stepped forward.

Under Ichiro's loving gaze, Xing Zeyuan took the apprentice's bamboo knife.

"Miss Hui Yukiko, please. ”

Xing Zeyuan bent down slightly with a smile, and Hui Xuezi on the opposite side bloomed with a pure smile.

"I'm coming!"

"This girl. ”

Ichiro shook his head full of affection, in the past, he wanted Hui Xuezi to choose her own path, not like He Nai who was cultivated since childhood, but she also showed extraordinary talent in kendo, and there was even a possibility of catching up with He Nai in the future!

"Hah!"

Hui Xuezi was quick to slash at Xing Zeyuan, because she knew that she couldn't hurt Xing Zeyuan. After attacking for a few rounds, Xing Zeyuan stood still in place, the bamboo knife in his hand slapped back and forth, and every time he blocked Hui Xuezi, the apprentices around him sighed.

Youyou shouted cheers on the side, attracting Ichiro's attention.

"It is estimated that it is because of her that Xiaoxing can always maintain normalcy. ”

"Brother Xing Zeyuan, I'm here for the last resort. ”

Hui Xuezi said, flipping her wrist and putting the bamboo knife into the scabbard while her body center of gravity turned downward. The scabbard rested against her thigh, and a large star cluster and two small star clusters emerged from Hui Xuezi's translucent chest, and a solemn sound came out when the ground at her feet set off a wave of air.

"Juhe - Ode to a Hundred Ghosts!"

The next moment, Xing Zeyuan's ears sounded with a ghostly air hiss, and then, his eyes lit up. In the light, Xing Zeyuan raised the corners of his mouth.

The two bamboo knives were disconnected at the same time, and Xing Zeyuan said:

"Not bad!"

"Brother Xing Zeyuan!"

Hui Xuezi threw away the bamboo knife and scabbard in her hand and hugged Xing Zeyuan.

"Long time no see. ”

Touching her head, Xing Zeyuan couldn't help but exclaim.

"I've grown taller, it's all up to the tip of my nose. ”

"I can still grow, and I will definitely be taller than my sister in the future!"

Hui Xuezi's face was full of joy and looked up at Xing Zeyuan.

"Brother, I haven't seen you in three years!"

"That's it, you're so pretty. ”

"No matter how beautiful she is, she is not as beautiful as her young sister. ”

Hui Xuezi went to see Youyu, who didn't want to disturb Xing Zeyuan and Hui Xuezi, so he stood aside.

"Sister!"

When Hui Xuezi waved her hand, Youyou came over and naturally grabbed her little hand, and this action of girls is always extraordinarily natural!

"An hour of self-discipline, David, you coach them!"

"Yes!"

David and Ichiro walked over together, and the latter opened his arms.

"Little Star, welcome back!"

"Uncle Ichiro. ”

Xing Zeyuan hugged Ichiro forward, he was still the same kind and bald head as before, but he was a little fatter. After waiting for Xing Zeyuan to shake hands with David, Ichiro said:

"Let's go over there. ”

Hui Yukiko came to his side.

"Dad, I'm going to play with my younger sister. ”

"Go ahead, go ahead, your mission for today is done anyway!"

"Okay. ”

Hui Yukiko turned her head.

"Brother, let's go. ”

"Go, go, go!"

Youyou's reaction is a little slower, and the pace of running is very cute.

"Xiaoxing, didn't you go to the shark world?"

"Uncle Ichiro, how do you know?"

"Arbor City is your starting point, and the city lord, as a member of the world government, is always watching your situation. Yesterday he gathered everyone and told the whole city about you, and I went to listen to it. ”

"It's okay, Uncle Ichiro, I've been there. You know about Komonji, right?"

"Got it, so the Sword Pavilion will be closed in September, and these apprentices of mine will join the city lord in supporting the state government. ”

"Uncle Ichiro, you don't want to go to the front line!"

"What, do you think I'm old?"

"Uncle Ichiro, I didn't mean that. ”

Ichiro and Xing Zeyuan took off their shoes and walked onto the wooden couch, the former's heavy palm resting on Xing Zeyuan's shoulder.

"I know you're a good boy, but He's on the battlefield with you, and I can't stay behind. Besides, this battle is especially important, and I have something to protect. ”

Ichiro said so, Xing Zeyuan is not good to persuade again, he knows that Ichiro's temper is similar to that of He Nai, and what he believes will not change. At this point, he is also like Uncle Ichiro!

"By the way, Uncle Ichiro, do you know the news of Henai?"

It's a little embarrassing to say, when Xing Zeyuan went to the World Government Headquarters some time ago, he was busy with Draculapen's affairs, and he didn't expect Henai.

"She is in Guangqi Prefecture, responsible for the operation of the Western Regions, and the people of the New World want to move to the Western Regions, so she has to let people from all over the world make room. She's a major general now, and she's busy, the last time she came back was last spring, and it's been more than a year!"

"It's a lot. ”

"What about you? I guess you're just passing by this time, right?"

"Yes, I really can't hide anything from Uncle Ichiro. ”

Ichiro smiled and handed Hoshi Zeyuan a cup of tea.

"In a few days, I will return to the Hundred Republic of China with Youyou and start to form an alliance with several countries in the Eastern Regions. ”

"How's your red shield?"

This topic is a bit heavy, but Xing Zeyuan can face it calmly.

"There are only eight people left, and Brother Ganso is gone!"

The man's comfort was more of a silent companionship than words, and Ichiro and Xing Zeyuan sat together for a long time, until there was a commotion outside the Sword Pavilion.
