Xia Xiao couldn't resist his grandmother's enthusiasm, and drank half a bowl of wine while eating chicken. This is the wine sent by the imperial capital, although it is difficult to compare with the elixir and jade dew, but it is more mellow than the brewed rice wine. Ah Candle and Grandma also drank some, not much, but I don't know if they were too happy or had something in their hearts, they were both a little drunk.

After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, it was the time when she was drunk, Grandma was radiant and prepared hot water for Xia Xiao to wash, Ah Candle followed on the side, leaned into Xia Xiao's ear, and said softly:

"It's really cheap for you. ”

Xia Xiao wanted to complain a little, but he didn't do anything, and he couldn't do anything to squeeze the old man, but when Ah Candle said this, he had something to say to his grandmother.

"Grandma, these jobs, Ah Candle is good. ”

Grandma looked at her precious granddaughter, thinking that she was an old woman, how could she be as attractive as Ah Candle, so she asked her to send water to Xia Xiao's room and go back to clean up the big bed.

Seeing Ah Candle pursing his lips, Xia Xiao held the lamp and said with a smile:

"I'll let you bring some water, and see your mouth curled!"

Ah Candle snorted lightly, she didn't mind taking care of Xia Xiao, but she didn't want to be like this in front of her grandmother. As soon as the basin was put down, some water splashed out, and Ah Candle said angrily:

"Hurry up and wash. ”

"You wash me. ”

Xia Xiao said a joke and wanted to be angry, but when he took off his shoes and socks, Ah Candle really moved a small bench, sat down in front of him, and then rolled up the narrow sleeves of his long skirt and put his hands into the basin with a suitable temperature. Xia Xiao was stunned for a moment, feeling that this was really the end. In the past seven years of coming to this world, no girl has washed her feet except for Shu Shuang. I'm afraid this wash will wash out a lot of trouble.

Ah Candle's little face was serious, and her cheeks were slightly red because of drunkenness, but Xia Xiao deliberately raised her feet, causing a few bits of water to splash on her face, almost entering the ruddy little mouth. Wiped his face with his wrist, Ah Candle said angrily:

"What are you doing?"

"Itch, I'll do it myself. ”

"It's weird, leave you alone. ”

Ah Candle frowned and rushed away angrily, but Xia Xiao was not so nervous. Fortunately, this girl doesn't have a grandmother, otherwise she would definitely rely on her own needs for her to act recklessly, and she would definitely not be able to get rid of her. Ginger is still old and spicy, and most of the tender ones are not as good.

Lying on the bed, Xia Xiao'an soaked his feet with peace of mind, and then undressed and went to sleep. The seniors don't know where they are, and they don't know what they're doing, but since they don't come together, they must have their own business, so they don't have to worry about it. When he fell asleep, Ah Candle and Grandma were still washing, Ah Candle washed Grandma's feet, not in a hurry or slowly, and the strength on her fingers was just right, which reminded Grandma of the quiet time a year ago.

Grandma still wanted to hear what Ah Candle had experienced, and she hadn't finished talking about it at the dinner table before, so she continued:

"Some time ago, we went to the Diwang Palace, which is in the westernmost part of Longgang, on the border between the Great Xia Dynasty and the Southern Shang Empire - the Changbai Mountain Range. At that time, I wanted to come back to see, but because I was on a mission, I couldn't delay, so I didn't come back, grandma, don't blame me, I've always missed you. ”

"It's okay, grandma won't blame you. You are so promising, those old guys in the village, now you should envy you and admire me. My original decision was finally correct, and Ah Candle was good. ”

Ah Candle wiped her grandmother's feet, and then threw herself into her arms to be coquettish.

"Grandma, when I have achievements in the future, I will come back to accompany you, we can also change places to live, I will accompany you every day. ”

Grandma stroked Ah Candle, patting her back and coaxing her to sleep like a child, she said again and again, but she didn't want that, she just hoped that Ah Candle could have a good home, so that even if she went to heaven, she could rest assured.

An old man and a young man lay on the bed, and grandma hugged Ah Candle with her dry hand and slowly fell asleep. Ah Candle sleeps soundly wherever she is, because she is tired during the day. She didn't dream tonight, because she had returned to her dreamland, and when she first became conscious, she already heard the sound of Suosuo, and as when she was a child, when she was in a daze, her grandmother had already gotten up, began to clean up the room, and then went to make breakfast.

I can always smell the fragrance of rapeseed oil in the morning, and my grandmother likes to boil porridge in the morning and eat it with fried pickles. This morning's oil fragrance is not because of it, but grandma specially fried eggs, and steamed steamed buns with white flour sent by the Xia family.

There is a village in the middle of the two mountains, and there are only four families in the village, and one of the houses has a new yard, but the chimney is still black, no different from the chimneys of the other three. Oily smoke came out of the chimney, and when the sky was bright, it floated everywhere, to the fields that had not yet sprouted in winter and spring, and to the mountains behind the house, as if it were connected with the morning glow, and encompassed the whole small mountain village, so that several of the old fellows woke up earlier than usual.

A few old guys got together as usual, they didn't like grandma to be quiet, so they all ran over to see what the eldest sister was cooking at home, there was a strong smell of chicken when it was dark last night, and there was such a tangy smell of oil early this morning. But before they could enter the room, Grandma had already come out with yesterday's chicken soup, and said in a low voice:

"Get out, there are guests at home!"

A few old fellows glanced at each other, guests? They are poor and remote, and there are few people, let alone guests. But the eldest sister drove them away, and her seriousness was undoubtful. They hid by the haystack on the side of the courtyard, wanting to see the guests that the eldest sister cared about so much, but they only saw Ah Candle walking out of the room with the eldest sister. Ah Candle, when is Ah Candle coming back?

Ah Candle stretched comfortably, he hadn't woken up in this familiar place for a long time, and he felt very good, although the vitality in the air was scarce, but the taste was familiar, and there was a wafting fragrance, which made him a little greedy.

"Grandma, what delicious food did you make?"

"You'll know in a moment, go get the adults up!"

Ah Candle nodded and walked into the room on the side, but in a moment, a handsome man walked out with him. There was a different aura in this man's demeanor, they seemed to have heard from the eldest sister that this was a cultivator who had left here with Ah Candle, and now that he had returned?

Even if Xia Xiao didn't look back, several old guys were secretly shocked and chose to leave. They have never seen a cultivator in their lives, and they only know that the kind of existence is not in the same world as themselves, and the distance from themselves is like a domestic dog and a noble dog.

The dog thinks that the small mountain village is big enough, and it takes a while to walk around, and when he walks out of the bridge, he is relaxed, and when he walks to the mountain road, he is far away from home, and he has to run for a while to go back. I am afraid that a residence of a precious dog is so big, and the characters and scenery that I have seen are something that many people have never seen in several lifetimes.

A few old guys went back to heat the chicken soup, and there was still a lot of meat in it, and they ate the next bowl of noodles and ate it fragrantly. Xia Xiao and Ah Candle were eating eggs and drinking porridge, but the latter still wanted to eat leftover chicken soup and cook noodles, but grandma said it to the villagers, and did not forget to kick Ah Candle secretly. Stinky girl, you can not pretend to be noble in front of men, and leftovers are not inedible, but not all words are suitable for speaking.

"Eat more, and you'll be able to go on a mission in a while. ”

Grandma looked at Ah Candle, her eyes were full of love, she had gathered all her efforts for this girl, but it was also hard work, and her efforts were not in vain.

"Grandma, is there anything missing?"

If you take an extra sip of the porridge in the bowl, Ah Candle will have to leave one second earlier. Therefore, she drank quickly and did not want to linger long for fear that she would not want to go. As soon as she said what was missing, Grandma hurriedly shook her head and looked at Xia Xiao, her eyes grateful. Just with this gaze, he has to drink a few more bowls of porridge, otherwise the old man may not feel good in his heart.

"My lord, your kindness is appreciated by the old woman, but I can't eat all the things that are sent to me, even if they are distributed to the old guys in the village, these grains are enough for us to eat for a year, so please don't send so much food. The old woman has only one wish, just hope that the adult will take care of Ah Candle, this girl has no father and no mother, and she has suffered a lot since she was a child. ”

Grandma started again, Xia Xiao had to admit that she was amazing, she said these words, why didn't she take care of Ah Candle?

"Grandma rest assured, everything is fine with Ah Candle in the academy. ”

"I'm really relieved to be with adults. ”

Grandma's old brain is not old, and they can go on missions together, definitely not because of Ah Candle's strength, but because of others, such as Ah Candle's ability. She knew this, peek-a-boo as a child. No one in the village could find Ah Candle, but she hid behind the door. can also be regarded as a blessing, Xia Xiao in the eyes of grandma is definitely a righteous gentleman. Although Xia Xiao didn't say a lot of polite words, she wouldn't be wrong!

"Eat more, adults. ”

Xia Xiao nodded again and again, this kind of sun-dried wild vegetables, he often eats in Longgang, and it has a unique flavor with eggs and white flour buns.

After breakfast, Ah Candle helped Grandma wash the dishes before going to pack her backpack. Although grandma has explained many times, she can solve it herself, Ah Zhu will clean up, leave early, don't delay the hour. But in the last period, she still wanted to accompany her grandmother.

"Grandma, this is the best dim sum in our dynasty, this is the salted fish of the southern country, and this is the dried meat of the Golong Bang clan. ”

Seeing that Ah Candle took out so many things from her backpack, Grandma chattered vigorously.

"I'm an old woman, I'm not used to eating these, and I don't like it either, you take it back to eat, obedient! I really don't want it! My teeth are not good, I can't eat these!"

No matter how hard Grandma pulled, Ah Candle just didn't, she ran out with a light backpack with only one piece of clothing, and said with a smile:

"Grandma, don't worry, I still have a lot of them. By the way, that dim sum should be eaten as soon as possible, salted fish can be put in, and like dried meat, it is best to stew and eat, not hard. ”

Seeing that she couldn't control this girl anymore, Grandma only sighed, but the old face still kept smiling. She followed Ah Candle and instructed:

"When you are outside, you must listen to the adults, don't play tricks, and do what the adults say, you will do. ”

Xia Xiao raised his eyebrows, this is a hint to himself? It should be, but he can't take it completely seriously, he doesn't want to do anything to Ah Candle.

"I'll send you out. ”

It seems that only by stepping on the bridge can they really leave, they walked over there together, Ah Candle and Xia Xiao both supported their grandmother. She is in her last years, and her old legs have long been unfavorable, and she will fall if she is not careful, so she has to pay special attention.
