Not far away, the bus terminal in Rongbei Town continues a few miles to the north, and the Xiao family's residence is in a secluded place with a beautiful environment.

Pastoral, groves, bamboo forests, streams, there are a lot of the same, the Xiao family residence is a two-story small building full of yellow and brown tiles, and there are various fruit trees in the courtyard in front of the building, whether it will bear fruit is unknown.

Pu Xueying's mood is very good, such an environment makes her very happy, from time to time she will say to Xiao Mozhu "I like here" and something like that, warmer than the Northeast, more comfortable than Zhang Baishan, more lively than Buxian Ju, it is simply an ideal home location for Pu Xueying.

The main entrance of the central hall is open, and there should be someone in the house.

Looking at this small building, Xiao Mozhu, who had been away from home for a month, was completely relaxed, and there was no place that could make him feel more at ease than here.

At the end of the two-meter-wide field road is where the Xiao family is located, the small building has no walls, no big iron gates, and the nearest "neighbor" is also dozens of meters away, with several pieces of farmland in between.

With Pu Xueying, when she was about to arrive home, Xiao Mozhu suddenly thought of something and said to her: "Do you know the Xi family, which is famous for spiritual arts?" In fact, the old man of my family is the person in charge of Xi's store in Rongbei. ”

Although she knew very little about the "outside world", Pu Xueying still had the corresponding knowledge about the warlock world, and after nodding, she asked: "I heard everyone say that the Xi family's other stores are all used as a store for concealment, does Uncle Xiao also open any shops?"

Xiao Mozhu shook his head and said helplessly: "No, did you notice when you got off the car just now, there are several advertising papers with the word 'Xi' written on the big man's oblique, which is the old man's masterpiece, just like psoriasis advertisements, and it is often cleaned up."

"That's exactly what happened! Uncle Xiao is too, so talented! After Pu Xueying was surprised, she covered her mouth and laughed and said.

Seeing that Pu Xueying was no longer nervous, Xiao Mozhu smiled, and the two had already come to the Xiao family's small building.

took the lead and walked into the living room of the middle hall, Xiao Mozhu shouted into the room: "I'm back!"

The house was quiet and no one answered.

Just when the two of them were wondering, a sound of footsteps came from upstairs, and when they entered the stairs, someone came down from the second floor.

A man! A man who is a little taller than Xiao Mozhu, with a straight body, a refreshing hairstyle, and a more solemn look, but his age does not look like the "old man" in Xiao Mozhu's mouth.

"Mozhu! You're finally home. The man with a cold temperament was a little surprised and said.

"Ha, brother, you're also at home." Xiao Mozhu also said in surprise.

"This is my brother, Xiao Mochen." Turning his head, Xiao Mozhu pointed to the man who had just come down the stairs and said.

"Big, big brother!" Pu Xueying suddenly saw Xiao Mozhu's family, who was still unexpected, and greeted him in a little panic.

"I don't need you to introduce me!" Just as Xiao Mozhu was about to introduce Pu Xueying, Xiao Mochen put away his serious expression, waved his hand, and said to Pu Xueying playfully, "Little sister of the Pu family, I know!" We at the Xiao family welcome you at any time, although you think of this place as your own home! ”

"Huh? Well! I didn't expect Xiao Mochen to be so "hospitable", Pu Xueying hurriedly replied.

Helplessly patting his forehead, Xiao Mozhu said, "Brother, why are you the same as the old man, don't talk nonsense."

"What did I say? Did you say something wrong? Ha ha! Xiao Mochen turned around and returned to the second floor, and continued without looking back, "It's all my own family, I won't bother, you are free, heh!" ”

"By the way, the old man will only come back in the afternoon, and there is no food at noon, so you can go out and solve it yourself! Just remember to go home! Xiao Mochen added loudly on the second floor.

The small building of the Xiao family is quite spacious, the interior decoration is simple and fresh, and there is a feeling that the building is empty.

There are only three bedrooms, two of which are on the first floor, and the other on the second floor is Xiao Mochen's room, but he only goes home once in a while, and the others are all rooms where various objects and furniture are stored.

walked straight to his bedroom, Xiao Mozhu carried the bag in his hand, pushed open the door and habitually threw it forward, and the backpack fell firmly on the bed.

Following cautiously, Pu Xueying also walked into the room, rolling her eyes and looking at the bedroom.

A bed, a bedside table, a bookshelf, a desk, that's it, there is no more furniture in Xiao Mozhu's bedroom.

Even in the room of Pu Xueying, who is like a caged bird, there will be decorations such as vases, stickers, and "toys" such as puppets, but there are none in Xiao Mozhu's room, and it is too simple to say.

"Brother's room, so simple!" After looking at this room, Pu Xueying said in surprise.

Xiao Mozhu nodded, sat down on the edge of the bed, pointed to the chair in front of the desk, and said to Pu Xueying: "Don't be stunned, put down the bag, and sit casually."

Pu Xueying answered, listened to the "instructions" and put the bag on the chair, then walked to the other side of the spring bed and sat down.

I'm asking you to sit there! Xiao Mozhu thought so, of course it was impossible to speak, and felt powerless to deal with this natural girl, so he found a topic at random and asked: "I always heard you say how good it is here just now, in fact, the environment of my home is very ordinary, so what is your home like?"

With her hands propped up, Pu Xueying looked up at the ceiling, kicking her legs, while recalling and saying: "The location of my home is very remote and cold, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, my father always doesn't let me go to places outside the village, this time I am the first time to come to the outside world, not to mention how happy I am!"

Glancing at Pu Xueying, who unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, Xiao Mozhu shook his head and said: "The flower world outside is indeed wonderful, but there are also bad people, an eldest lady like you, you will suffer when you meet bad people, your father is using his own methods to protect you."

Pu Xueying pouted playfully and said, "Anyway, you will protect me in the future, right?" That ......"

Raising his palm, Xiao Mozhu interrupted Pu Xueying's words, his face became solemn, and said: "It's not the old society now, don't take 'marriage' seriously, whether it's you or me, you have the right to choose freely!" And you said it yourself, the flower world outside is so exciting, isn't it? ”

"Humph!"

Pu Xueying was a little unhappy, tilted her head to the window, and said angrily: "Who knows!"

Seeing Pu Xueying's appearance, Xiao Mozhu's first thought was that she was losing her temper, and suddenly felt that she was two big heads, and stopped talking.

The house was very quiet, and there was no movement after Xiao Mochen went upstairs.

After a long time, Pu Xueying finally couldn't help it, and said, "I want to visit the market, can you take me there, brother?"

The room was still silent, thinking that Xiao Mozhu was angry with herself, Pu Xueying turned around.

I don't know when, Xiao Mozhu was already reclining on the bed, with his eyes closed, probably asleep, no wonder he didn't answer.

Feeling a little funny, Pu Xueying pushed Xiao Mozhu and said as if urging: "Take me shopping, brother!" Wake up, wake up, wake up! ”

After returning home after a long absence, Xiao Mozhu just wanted to relax and lie down, but he didn't expect to fall asleep unconsciously.

"Don't shake it, let's go, let's go!"

After seeing Xiao Mozhu open his eyes, Pu Xueying was even more interested, shaking and playing, and almost pulled the back of Xiao Mozhu's hand.

Annoyed that he was completely sleepy, Xiao Mozhu sat up suddenly, stared at the smiling Pu Xueying, and asked, "I was like a shy little girl when I first saw you, why have you become so naughty now?"

"I'm too lazy to tell you, let's go!" Pu Xueying twisted her head and walked out first.

Shaking his head, Xiao Mozhu had no choice but to follow.

Rushing to the market, a custom that was common in the north and south of Jiuyan in the early years, gradually disappeared from people's field of vision with the development of various state cities.
