"The inn is so far away. Very few outsiders come in our village, and there is only an inn on the other side of the town. ”

One of the boys, who looked the oldest, said:

"If my sister doesn't mind, she can stay in my house. I have an empty house at home. ”

"Okay, then I'll let you lead the way. ”

The boy was tanned and had a bright smile, and his smile became even stronger when he heard that Shu Xiaoen was willing to live in his house.

Along the way, he chatted and talked to Shu Xiaoen.

It turned out that it had been three years since the last time they had guests in their house.

It didn't take long to walk.

A thatched hut appeared in front of it, and several more were added to the side.

In the fenced courtyard, a seventy-year-old woman sat on the stone steps basking in the sun.

This thatched hut is built against the backdrop of a mountain.

If you look up, you can see a large white cloud floating from the top of the mountain.

Shu Xiaoen liked such a place at a glance.

In particular, the smiles of the little boy's grandchildren are very clean, I heard that the sons and daughters-in-law of this family are all in the town to give people the call of the present, except for the New Year's holidays, most of the time their grandparents and grandchildren live by themselves.

For so long, Shu Xiaoen has been eating dry food, and he hasn't eaten a warm meal for a long time.

When she washed up in the house and came out, she saw a few home-cooked dishes on the table, the little boy looked at her with a smile, and the old woman sat on a chair and waved to her.

Shu Xiaoen walked over with a smile and sat on the chair prepared for her by the old woman, and the meal had already been set up in front of her.

"The girl came just in time, and we haven't eaten dinner yet. ”

Shu Xiaoen said: "I am Shu Xiaoen, you can call me Xiaoen, I am always a girl, I feel awkward when I listen to it." ”

The old woman laughed kindly.

"Then my name is Ah Xi. The fourteen-year-old boy said.

"Hello. Shu Xiaoen smiled.

"Miss Xiaoen, you can stay with us as long as you want, the house is empty, and there is no one to live in. The old woman said.

When they moved in, Shu Xiaoen gave them more accommodation fees, and they were able to live with them for more than a year. The old woman is not the kind of greedy person, she always wants to return more to Shu Xiaoen, but Shu Xiaoen refuses.

"I won't be long, I'll probably be going to town tomorrow to hire a Skywagon, and I'll be out of here by then. ”

Although this place is good, Shu Xiaoen doesn't want to stay here, she suddenly wants to return to Xiagu Autonomous City early, maybe one day Bai Lixiu will come to her door, Shu Xiaoen thought of a lot of sarcastic words about Bai Lixiu......

Perhaps, arguing and arguing, the feelings are fading, and it is possible for Bai Lixiu to cancel the soul contract if he remembers the old relationship. Staying in this remote village, I always feel that I will never be able to wait for tomorrow.

"You are in such a hurry, you are a girl's family, but what important place are you going? Do you want me to call an acquaintance and give you a ride?" the old woman was warm-hearted.

also knew that Shu Xiaoen did not seem to be the kind of person who was short of money, and he was already thinking about which reliable person in the village to send the girl away, and the old woman believed that when she arrived at that place, the girl would more or less give some reward to the people in the village.

Shu Xiaoen shook his head.

"No need, I'm in a hurry to go back because I live in Xiagu Autonomous City and have agreed to meet at a certain time slot. Shu Xiaoen said.

The old woman nodded.

"What kind of person, lover?" The old woman is also a straightforward person, seeing that Shu Xiaoen is not that kind of delicate girl, the old woman is not so restrained when she speaks.

Shu Xiaoen smiled.

Thousands of miles back to the lover's appointment? This is very interesting.

It's just that Bai Lixiu's lover is not competent at all, and when she goes back this time, she rushes back to provoke Bai Lixiu's disgust.

Shu Xiaoen noticed that the old woman was staring at her and smiling, Shu Xiaoen shrugged her shoulders, "It's about the same." ”

"Then how can he rest assured that you are a girl wandering outside?" the old woman frowned, "Seeing that you are not a child of a poor family, why don't your parents send a few people to accompany you out?"

"I followed my friend to the outskirts of Ghoul City, and then I had a problem with my friend and went my own way. Shu Xiaoen confessed.

On the side, Ah Xi was curious, holding chopsticks in his mouth.

"Sister Xiaoen, you are so bold. By the way, isn't there a lot of ghouls in Ghoul City?"

When the old woman heard this, she raised her hand and slapped Ah Xi's head.

"You stinky boy, what's on your mind?" scolded the old woman.

Ah Xi smiled.

"I just want to go to the ghoul city, and you won't let me, this sister Xiaoen just knows, ask about it, and it won't be okay. Ah Xi said.

"Ghoul City, is that where you can go?"

The old woman scolded loudly.

Ah Xi shrunk his neck, his heart was cold, he pouted, and muttered in a low voice, "Then I don't want to be like my father and mother, I have to serve others when I grow up, that's not what I'm willing to do." ”

Ah Xi's eyes sparkled, "I also want to be like Sister Xiaoen, I will go on an adventure alone in the future, go for a walk outside, how great it is! ”

The old woman said: "You can't even detect the spiritual veins on your body, and you still want to go to the academy? Isn't this full of food and idle? Even if our family has a little money, it is not such a waste for you." ”

Ah Xi was poked in the sore spot, and the light in his eyes suddenly dimmed.

pursed his lips, with annoyance in his eyes, he turned his head in other directions, and after a while, he snorted coldly, turned his head, and his eyes fell on Shu Xiaoen's face.

"Sister Xiaoen, have you been tested for spiritual veins?"

It must be amazing to be able to break out of this forest alone!

Ah Xi thought so, his eyes brightened and were full of longing. Maybe this sister, who seems to be very easy to get along with, can teach him some skills.

Shu Xiaoen was a little embarrassed.

"I don't have a spiritual vein. ”

Ah Xi's eyes widened, and even the old woman over there looked surprised.

"How dangerous is it that you don't have any self-defense skills, so you wander around alone!?" said the old woman, "Your family is too careless." ”

Ah Xi has a different view.

Surprise receded from his eyes, he blinked, and looked at Shu Xiaoen's face even more curiously.

"Sister Xiaoen, then you are alone outside, what if you encounter danger?"

Shu Xiaoen pondered for a moment.

recalled that after her soul penetrated to the Supo Continent, she didn't seem to encounter much danger.

But she saw Ah Xi's shiny face, and saw the old woman beside her who gave her a look. The old woman was worried that her grandson would have an accident outside alone......

Shu Xiaoen understood the old woman's thoughts.

She pondered for a moment before she said, "I'm lucky, and I can meet some noble people when I encounter danger." ”
