Under the moonlight, the breeze came, with the material of early spring, but there was no biting cold.

On the stone table, a pot of warm wine, three or two side dishes, I sat opposite Uncle Xin, he said that he wanted to tell me the ins and outs, but the night is still shallow, there is still a lot of time, I don't need too much urging, I hope I can talk to him this time, just because we are all men who love Xin Yi.

Naturally, I sandwiched a chopsticks ham and tender bamboo shoots in Uncle Xin's bowl, in Wangxian Village on the mountain, there is no city lights, naturally there are no exquisite and varied food, but it is better than natural game, this early spring tender bamboo shoots are one of the best wild things, as for the ham is also pickled in wild boar, the taste is strong, with this light and tender bamboo shoots, it is dwarfed.

Uncle Xin didn't postpone it, I picked up the vegetables, and he ate them naturally, not forgetting to praise: "I have lived a wandering life over the years, it is difficult to return to my home, and it is difficult to find my relatives." Among them, the sorrow is not mentioned, only food can be comforted, and he can be regarded as a person who eats all over the world. This dish is worthy of my praise, the little girl next to you is also a person who knows how to eat, knowing that these two materials belong to the mountain treasures, and they are the most compatible, there is no need to use extra ingredients to hide their own taste, the heat is just right, the bamboo shoots are tender, the ham is crispy, but slightly chewy. Good, fabulous! ”

I listened to it interestingly, I never thought that Uncle Xin was also a glutton, and he was full of praise for Su Ling's craftsmanship, but I was a violent celestial, I only knew that the food made by Su Ling was smooth and delicious, and I didn't think about so many ways.

It's just that although these words are commenting on food, they also inadvertently say how Uncle Xin spent these years away from Xinyi's mother and daughter, he wandered and wandered, and he didn't find any women to accompany him, presumably he was also in love, so he would rather be so miserable, his heart was already full of concern, how could he have the heart to enter the red dust again?

I didn't speak, just smiled and listened to him comment on every dish on the table, and from time to time poured him a full glass of wine in front of him. Of course, what Su Ling gave me was the old wine in the village.

Soon, under the relaxed conversation, he had already passed three rounds of wine and five flavors of food.

After drinking another glass of rice wine, Uncle Xin put down the cup, looked at the crescent moon in the sky and said, "Pity me for practicing for half my life, and I am still addicted to this appetite." The dish is a good dish, although the wine is not strong, but the real material and the taste is long, and this meal is rare to eat in this world now. ”

"If you're satisfied." I replied casually, eating food in a big gulp, my stomach was indeed hungry, and then I sighed in my heart, it turned out that I had never been a charming person, and I couldn't taste the wine and food.

"Satisfied, satisfied, I forgot to tell you something? I also forgot, shouldn't you be presiding over another opening ceremony of "The Hundred Demons of Mountains and Seas" today? "When Uncle Xin said this, he had already put down his chopsticks, and it seemed that he was almost there, and he was going to talk to me about business.

I swallowed the food in my mouth and said, "It's okay, it's the same tomorrow." I have a stomach problem with Uncle Xin, and now you are willing to talk to me in detail, that is very good. ”

"So where do you start? Do you want to start with Qinglian Mountain? When Uncle Xin said this, he glanced at me, I had just swallowed the wine and food, and I hadn't thought that he would mention this directly, but I didn't come back to my senses, and I couldn't help coughing continuously, and I drank several sips of tea before I pressed it down.

Then she looked at him stupidly, not knowing what to say?

"Actually, I don't blame you, the fox clan of Qinglian Mountain originally had a high-ranking monk to preach the scriptures, and because of this, he was enlightened, and there was a chance to get a positive result. Helplessly, one of the most outstanding ancestors of my fox clan was fascinated by hatred and committed a lot of crimes, and it was also the will of God that my Qinglian Mountain Fox Clan had this catastrophe. But maybe the monk made a big wish, leaving me a trace of vitality in the Qinglian Mountain Fox Clan, and maybe God is fair and merciful, it is not easy to take pity on my family, so that my Qinglian Mountain Fox Clan has experienced a catastrophe, but it has not been cut off because of this, which is already a blessing in misfortune. "Uncle Xin said very indifferently, but very sincerely.

Even if I knew that this was Xin Yi's father, I was still slightly surprised by his statement, you must know that I have come into contact with too many demon clans, most of them are multi-human and full of sky-high anger. This kind of anger can be explained in this way, that is, there is basically zero tolerance for human behavior, if human beings make a small mistake to the demon race, they are eager to kill the wrongdoers, and even punish the nine tribes.

Originally, I didn't have a strong racial theory, and I believed that God made a reason for the existence of the demon race, but then I saw too many demon races, and I understood why there were demon hunters to maintain this balance and use it as a line of defense for human survival. Because the two races simply cannot coexist peacefully.

Uncle Xin's Qinglian Mountain is said to be not friendly to humans in the first place, so it will provoke the world's demon hunters, and then it will be served by me, shouldn't this kind of hatred be full of hatred? Even if he is Xin Yi's father and not a witness to the catastrophe, he doesn't hate me, but he has no good feelings, how can he say that?

If he wasn't Xin Yi's father, and if he wasn't the record in the Shimen formation, I'm afraid I'd think he was acting in front of my eyes.

Thinking so in my heart, I didn't intend to hide anything from Xin Yi's father, so I simply said the doubts in my heart generously: "I have learned the identity of Uncle Xin." When I knew that you were a fox demon in Qinglian Mountain, I felt despair in my heart. After all, back then, it was me myself" Speaking of this, I couldn't go on, just lowered my head and drank a glass alone.

Of course, I don't feel that I did something wrong, it's not good to face Uncle Xin, after all, the fox demon in Qinglian Mountain was full of crimes back then, and I should be like this as a demon hunter, I just wondered in my heart, why did God arrange it like this?

"Hahaha" I didn't finish speaking, Uncle Xin laughed again, to be honest, I couldn't see through his emotions when he smiled, but I laughed a little panicked, he laughed, and also picked up the wine glass and drank a glass, and then looked at me and said: "You really have a lot of questions, so you say, do you want to hear the secrets that happened on Qinglian Mountain back then, or do you want to hear about me and Xin Yi?" ”

"I want both." I sat up straight, in fact, about the fox demon of Qinglian Mountain, I only know one, I don't know the other, this was what I did with my own hands back then, I naturally still want to solve the puzzle, that is, why did the fox demon of Qinglian Mountain become so violent? And why did they bite to death the monks who were so kind to them, and why did they be bloodthirsty from now on?

I don't know any of this, although almost all of the evil foxes of the fox demon are my own blades.

"Well, the night is long, and if you want to know, I'll talk about everything. The reason is that the fox demon of Qinglian Mountain originally got your favor, and it is also appropriate to explain to you. Second, Xinyi's affairs are also closely related to you, and you should listen to what you say. Uncle Xin said this to me very directly.

"Grace?" But I was a little confused, he didn't say that I was the great enemy of the fox demon of Qinglian Mountain, but actually said that I was gracious, what is the explanation?

But Uncle Xin didn't answer me immediately, but drank several glasses in a row, until the wine in the pot was dry, and then he put down the glass, and his eyes were full of melancholy and longing.

I don't understand why Uncle Xin has such emotions, but he was busy beckoning Su Ling to bring another pot of wine, and in the process, Uncle Xin suddenly asked: "I have been wandering for more than 20 years, and there is a person in my heart who has never dared to face it." In her heart, I am afraid that I am already a dead person, I inquired about my daughter, but I have not been able to ask her news, I am afraid that she has another lover. Even if there is another lover, it is understandable. It's just that I, I"

I looked back at Uncle Xin, and I already knew in my heart who he wanted to ask? At this time, Uncle Xin finally asked, "Xin Yi, is Xin Yi's mother okay?" ”

Xinyi's mother? The first aunt who let me know what a beautiful and kind aunt was since I was a child, how could I forget? Not to mention that in my growing years, she treated me like half a mother? How is she? It's really not good, the person I love has long since 'died', and my daughter is not around, I have been maintaining her heart with an almost absurd lie.

Xin Yi was asleep, and I couldn't even report a peace to her, even if I had time to go home a few times in more than four years, so that my parents could feel at ease. For her, I can only find a capable person who can imitate Xin Yi's notes and pretend that Xin Yi writes to her. In today's society, who can't make a phone call? I can only tell her that Xin Yi was favored by the secret department to work, and the contract was signed for five years, and everything had a confidentiality agreement or something.

This lie is undoubtedly full of loopholes and does not stand up to scrutiny, but she still prefers to believe it. In addition to the necessary evidence I have produced, perhaps only faith can give her confidence?

Thinking of this, I sighed, told Uncle Xin all the truth, and finally said: "Xinyi's mother waited for you, thinking that after you died, she guarded Xinyi again and closed her heart. If you really care about her so much, then I think you should be calm about her. Give her such a hard life a little comfort. ”

To be honest, I shouldn't have 'taught' my elders, but thinking of her, I had to say this to Uncle Xin, no matter what the reason for his departure was? It was extremely cruel to Xin Yi's mother.

Uncle Xin was silent with tears in his eyes as I said what I said.

After a while, he said, "I didn't expect her to spend half of her life for me, knowing that I was dead." Yes, I should be calm with her, now, it's okay, right? Do you think I'm selfish? Whatever the reason, you shouldn't hide it from her, right? Actually, I just don't want her to be in a dilemma, if I don't leave, my daughter won't be able to protect her. Is that me or my daughter? I just don't want her to get caught up in this kind of tangled as well. ”

"What does that mean?" I couldn't help but frown.

Uncle Xin was silent, and his agitated emotions made him unable to speak for a while.
