The family gathered around the table and did not move their chopsticks for a long time. Since Shu Shuang came to the Xia family, this is the first time that the atmosphere is so solemn. She sat next to Xia Xiao, her bright eyes looked at everyone repeatedly, and she didn't dare to squeak.

Lowering his head, there were only a few traces of heat left in the bowl of white rice.

This time it was a big deal, otherwise they wouldn't have delayed eating. As the saying goes, cooking for two hours and eating for five minutes makes the meal tasty for a short time. But Xia Xiao directly resisted the order, even if the starting point was right, there was still a vague sense of ominousness in everyone's hearts.

Since coming to Longgang, the only wish of the whole family is to return to the imperial capital and return to the courtyard of Xiafu, which is their real home!

finally waited for an opportunity, but lost it directly, and no one could accept it.

The silence, the silence was scary, and no one said a word. In the end, Xia Jinghong broke it.

"Let's eat, the dishes are cold!"

He began to move the chopsticks, and everyone swallowed slowly, even if they were a little hungry, they didn't have the heart to eat.

"Don't be discouraged, Xiao Er did the right thing, even if she goes back to the imperial capital, it's useless! If you want everyone to close that stinky mouth, you must use the most shocking way. Others think we can't do it, we have to do it, the more frustrated we are, the more courageous we are, is the family style of our Xia family!"

Even though he said so much, the meal was tasteless.

After dinner, Xia Xiao and Xia Jinghong walked out of the house and sat on the side of the mass grave.

It was getting dark, and the graves were desolate. A few crows add color to the scenery, and they cries unluckily, one after another, which is disturbing to listen to, but such a place is truly desolate with them. There was some ice on the bricks under the buttocks, but the father and son didn't move, just looking at the dark sky and playing with the stones in their hands.

"Father, do you think I'm doing something wrong?"

Xia Jinghong shook his head, and his calm heart was like a pool of autumn water.

"I think I was wrong, I should have told everyone first, it's too big after all. ”

"It's okay, I know it anyway. ”

"I'm going to Rongcheng in two days. ”

"Why?"

"There are a lot of strong players over there, so I have to get familiar with them in advance and then beat them to get a place in the promotion. The pressure of staying in Longgang City is too small, and I want to push myself to go faster. ”

"Listen to you, do you want to go on your own?"

"I'm with Shu Shuang, I promised Master that I can't leave her behind!"

Xia Jinghong thought about it for a while, and said:

"Okay, go ahead, I'll arrange it for you tomorrow." ”

"Before leaving, I want to get the approval of Longgang City and have a fight with the people in the city who are going to participate in the local competition!"

"If you want to fight, let's fight! Anyway, it's time to sign up. ”

Xia Jinghong said casually, he knew Xia Xiao's strength very well, and there was no junior in Longgang City who was his opponent. But Rongcheng is different, that city has a long history, and there are a few decent families in it. The bigger the family, the greater the power, the more resources, and the stronger the cultivated ones.

After sitting for a long time, the bricks were covered with heat. The stone in his hand was thrown into the distance, Xia Jinghong got up and said:

"Xiao'er, you will succeed!"

"Thank you, father!"

Xia Jinghong spread out his big hand, pulled Xia Xiao up, and then went home together.

"Talk to Shu Shuang more about your future plans, you will stay in Rongcheng for three months. ”

"Hmm!"

In the room, Shu Shuang was waiting for Xia Xiao. She sat on the edge of the bed like a little daughter-in-law on her wedding night, glancing out the door from time to time. When Xia Xiao came back, she was very happy, but she didn't say anything else, just looked at him.

"I'll go to Rongcheng in a few days, just me and you. ”

Shu Shuang nodded, it would be good to be with Xia Xiao.

"Nothing to say?"

Xia Xiao moved a chair and sat in front of Shu Shuang. She thought about it and planned it.

"I went to Rongcheng to better cultivate and adapt to the environment in advance and understand the opponent. But we have to find a place to live first, and then we have to have enough money, otherwise we won't be able to eat three meals a day. ”

"My father said that he would solve the problem of the house, and if we had money, we would take less and use it sparingly. If it's not enough, I can get a job!"

Father was going to take out the five taels of silver in the family, but Xia Xiao felt that it was too much. On the premise of having a house to live in, he can take two taels at most, and he still has one tael here! In the past, the Xia family never worried about money, but now the more they think about it, the more worried they become.

"No, you just cultivate!"

Shu Shuang's tone was bold, which aroused Xia Xiao's curiosity.

"What's your idea?"

Even though Shu Shuang was very low-key and never mentioned the Pope, she was indeed a disciple of the Pope of the First Church. Unlike Xia Xiao, she has been following the big man, so now at this time, it's time to show her true skills. Xia Xiao waited and waited, but Shushuang said:

"I'm a girl, I'm still a cultivator, I can go to work, I can do rough work, and I can earn money!"

Well...... Xia Xiao felt that he had thought too much before.

"Forget it. ”

"So what do we do?"

"There is no endless road, and we will talk about it when the time comes!"

Others can sell words and sell treasures, although they can't write well, and they don't have anything to handle, but they still have a body of vitality, and they must be fine.

Xia Xiao is quite confident, mainly because he has heard that Rongcheng also has a martial arts city, that kind of place has the fastest money, it really can't work, so he will go there to fight, in short, he can't let Shu Shuang go out and wander around.

Busy making the bed in his hands, Xia Xiao was laying the floor as usual tonight, but his eyes were looking at Shu Shuang. She's so good-looking, if she provokes someone with bad intentions, she will be in trouble!

The candle went out and the two fell asleep. But Xia Jinghong was still sitting in the room and couldn't sleep for a long time.

"It's a good thing that Xiao Er is going to Rongcheng now, three months can allow him to contact some strong people and reflect on himself becoming stronger, but his residence has become a trouble!"

"Why don't you go to the City Lord of Rongcheng and ask him to help?"

"Ever since Xiao Er was able to cultivate and was about to return to the imperial capital through the competition, I have inquired. The city lord of Rongcheng is called Lin Jing, and his son Lin Tian is also a contestant in this competition, so forget it. Asking them for help is tantamount to digging your own grave, and now everyone wants to bite us, and we can't take the initiative to stick our necks in front of them. ”

Sighing, mother didn't expect it to be so troublesome. If it had been before, how could they have worried about such a thing? It was just a matter of one sentence, but now it is different.

"Rong'er, we have to think about it and think about whether anyone can help Xiao'er. ”

Xia Xiao's mother's name is Xiao Rong, and her face is solemn at this time. Her sideburns have turned white, and the wrinkles on her face have increased due to long-term fatigue and lack of maintenance, but her elegant temperament and pretty face contours still show her charm, and her charm remains. Smart women are generally not too stupid, but she grew up in the imperial capital since she was a child, and she has no one she knows in this kind of place.

Xia Jinghong and Xiao Rong chatted all night, but in the end there was no way. Relying on each other, they remembered the night they left the imperial capital overnight, and they were as helpless now as they were then, but there was no rain tonight, but the rain in their hearts never stopped.

"Let's go to Yang Zhen and borrow some money. ”

Xia Jinghong has never liked to borrow things, but now there is no other way!
