"Old man, I've taken my in-laws out for dinner."

Old Madam Ling shouted outside the house.

Before I knew it, it was noon, and it was a cold winter, but today was a rare sunny and good weather, and the courtyard was crowded, and seven or eight tables were evenly distributed in the courtyard. In the middle of each table is a jar of wine covered with red paper and sealed in plaster, surrounded by ten large porcelain bowls of various kinds. Around the courtyard, several makeshift cauldrons were steaming, the smell of meat was overflowing, and a few children stood beside them stupidly, smacking their fingers.

Everyone in the house came to the table at the main entrance, and Young Master Ling was already wrapped in a coat and looked at the world curiously in Wen'er's arms.

"Come on, come on, in-laws, please take a seat."

"Brother Ling is the master, you come, you come."

As he spoke, he pulled up a chair next to him and sat down.

"Everyone sit, you're welcome, Fusheng, open the pot and serve."

Several pot lids were picked up by several chefs at the same time, and the courtyard was suddenly filled with the warm smell of meat.

Pork stewed vermicelli, boiled white meat, big bones in sauce, chicken stewed with mushrooms, freshly steamed white flour steamed buns, potatoes, sweet potatoes and a pot of boiled noodles.

Hard dishes that are rarely eaten once on weekdays have been served on the table,

"Folks, thank you for coming to my Ling family compound, so that we have this opportunity to celebrate this Spring Festival together,"

Old Man Ling picked up a bowl of liquor.

"At the same time, thank you all for coming to my grandson's freshman banquet, not much to say, enough meat, full of wine, everyone is not drunk and does not return, dry, dry this bowl."

……

The feast continued into the evening, and the people in the stockade came and went. Old Master Ling was helped back to the room early and fell asleep, and Young Master Ling didn't last until the night before he lay down. Mr. and Mrs. Liu may have been used to being quiet in the woods and were not suitable for such an occasion, so they also returned to the wing room soon after.

The night in the Northeast is silent, eerily quiet. The faint moonlight flickered on and off, and the barking of dogs mixed with the cold wind drifted into the distance.

"Knock knock...... Knock knock. ”

In the Ling family's compound, two knocks broke the silence, but everyone was busy all day, some drank too much, and some fell asleep because of fatigue, and no one paid attention.

"Miss, it's so late, why are you here, you just have to rest after giving birth"

If anyone else was here, it would have been a surprise. The father-in-law during the day, the father and mother of the young grandmother. Now a servant stood by the door.

"Oh, Miss, why did you come out with so little clothing, what is the matter to come into the house."

The two old men hurriedly welcomed the eldest lady with a mutant identity into the house.

"It's okay, the second elder knows that I'm not afraid of the cold at all."

Wen'er walked into the house, Master Liu closed the door at the back, and Old Woman Liu took a stool for Wen'er to sit down.

Wen'er held the child in one hand and took out a small red cloth bag with the other. It was a temporary gift from the two old men to their grandson at noon.

"Your gift is too valuable, how can I be embarrassed to accept it, you better reabsorb it quickly. Lulu's this, you will also bring it back when you go back, she is still young. As he spoke, he placed the cloth bag on the table beside him.

"Miss, it's okay, it's okay, the guys on the mountain have spirituality, you must be unbearable to give it to Young Master Sun, and secondly, the little young master was just born, his muscles and bones are weak, and he can't stand the medicinal power." Old man Liu said.

"Miss, you have given us the two of us two thousand years to live. Back then, Xu Fu searched for the elixir of life for the tyrant Yingzheng, went to the Tianshan Mountains in the west, and went to the East China Sea in the east. On the Tianshan Mountain, I caught the snow lotus who was about to transform into a shape, because the snow lotus was not a thousand years old, and the effect of the medicine was not good, so I took it with me to warm and mature, and came to this great Xing'an Mountains and wanted to take me into medicine, that is, I had just transformed into a baby, like a baby in this deep mountain and old forest, I could hide from the Taoist priest who moved the mountain, and escaped from the Jin Xiaowei, but I was the opponent of Xu Fu Demon. , When he was about to be nailed into his carved sandalwood demon box, thanks to your timely discovery, I was rescued, and I also felt the call of the snow lotus, so I fought in the Xu Fu battle, although the snow lotus fell, but I was also seriously injured by the dying Xu Fu with evil magic. ”

"That's right, if it weren't for saving Xuelian me, Miss, you wouldn't have been seriously injured like this, you were originally an elemental body, as long as you want to go, no shadow is invisible, who can stop it, but it's because of saving me."

The old woman Liu on the side wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"I am also an elemental spirit reincarnated in the world, you are also the spirit of plants and trees, human beings are our natural enemies, we can't hurt them ourselves, and we can only use the power of nature, but I escaped from the reincarnation of nature, the power of nature is insufficient, and it is expected that I was injured by him. More than 2,000 years have passed, and you don't have to blame yourself, if I hadn't saved you from being forgiven by the forces of nature, I don't know whether you would be reincarnated in the heavens, or in the sea, or in the elements underground. Now I can live in this great Xing'an Mountains, and I am also satisfied. ”

"However, Miss, you are the spirit of life, and Xue Lian and I are also excellent life aids, if you are willing to absorb half of the essence of the two of us after the war, you will not be incarnated as a human to continue your life by reincarnation now."

At that time, gold, wood, water, fire and earth dominated the earth, and wind, rain, thunder and lightning dominated the sky, but the life I constructed was weak and unbearable, the soil was condensed into stones, and the stones gathered into mountains, towering and towering, but what about people, since there were people, there were constant disputes. But it is also in this constant strife that progress has been made. From the beginning of the mountain to the top. Forget the sea but walk to the present mountain to open the mountain, meet the sea to build a ship. Humanity has gone from being controlled to wanting to be controlled. Although I have been observing, I can't understand that this time as a person, let me solve hundreds of millions of years of unsolved mysteries. Human beings, and even all living animals, have feelings, and the fundamental reason why they grow up is because they have love and because they want to protect. Because of love, they are united, because they have to survive and protect the people they love, they will have strife. Because they need to be stronger, they keep improving. In just a few years, I have lived more wonderful than hundreds of millions of years, in the past few years, I still have some reservations of the elemental qi, so that I have not been able to get pregnant, when I see other children growing up under the care of their mothers, I think of Nuwa, she gave me life, but did not give me maternal love, I want to give this love to my children. Now I have abandoned most of the elemental qi and truly become a human being. I also have someone I want to protect for the rest of my life. I also have a home that I want to protect for the rest of my life. ”

Wen'er said, stood up, looked at the sleeping child in her arms with a loving face, and walked out gently. Left behind the red cloth bag, leaving behind two old men who were lost in thought. The door automatically closes softly. "You are all the people I want to protect" softly entered the door, waking up the two old men who were already in tears.
