Hearing this, Gu Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Do you think that she will not have a change in appearance like me?"

Erniu was stunned for a moment, and then understood, it seems that it was really many years ago, Gu Chen is a cultivator, even if it has changed in the past few years, his appearance will not change much, but it is different in the world.

seems to be infected by Gu Chen's emotional words that contain human wrong, and Er Niu can't help but sigh, "Time is the most ruthless thing in this world, the vicissitudes of life, in fact, sometimes I think about it, I would rather not find the memories of these past lives, but let me not be able to integrate into the present." ”

"Look at you, it's sour, that's all I said. ”

Gu Chen was talking, and suddenly, he glanced directly out of the window and didn't turn his head anymore.

Erniu followed his line of sight and saw a woman dressed as a young woman walking down the street carrying a vegetable basket.

Er Niu couldn't help but look at Gu Chen, "Is she quite young, and quite a bit beautiful." ”

Gu Chen shook his head uncertainly, "When I rescued her, she was only seven or eight years old, but I just had a feeling, but I can't be sure if it was her." ”

"Then what are you waiting for, just go and see. ”

Gu Chen nodded, then got up and left the tavern.

followed all the way, and finally, when Gu Chen followed the young woman to the east of Zizhu Town, in front of a simple house, he couldn't help but stop.

The house is very simple and even somewhat dilapidated.

"What's the matter, don't you dare to go in?"

Gu Chen shook his head, "Maybe she's not." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Back then, I entrusted her to the mayor of Zizhu Town, and he promised to treat her like his own daughter, but how can she be so poor now?"

Er Niu couldn't help but say, "You are too serious, you are not your own child, who can really be your own child? ”

What Er Niu said was reasonable, Gu Chen was just about to step forward and knock on the door, when suddenly, a childish voice sounded, "Who are you, what are you doing standing in front of my house?"

Gu Chen turned around and saw a tiger-headed child standing behind him, four or five years old, looking up and down with big black eyes, not timid at all.

Gu Chen stared at the boy, not only squinting his eyes, "Little friend, this is your home?"

The boy looked at Gu Chen with a strange expression, and suddenly, he strode over, slammed open the courtyard door and ran in.

"Mother, mother, there is a fool outside, and he asked me if this is our house. ”

"Poof....... ”

Erniu burst out laughing directly, "Hahaha, this sentence can make me laugh for ten years, hahaha......." ”

Gu Chen ignored it, and he quietly looked at the courtyard.

"What a fool, mother. ”

"Mother, you see, it's him. ”

The boy took the young woman's hand and walked out of the room, and when the young woman saw who was standing outside the courtyard, she was stunned.

The young woman looked at Gu Chen quietly, and she didn't make any movement for a long time, but her tears were already in her eyes.

Seeing this, Gu Chen knew that this young woman was the girl he saved back then, Zhu Qing!

The corners of his mouth arced, Gu Chen walked directly into the courtyard, looked at each other, Gu Chen said lightly, "Passing by here, I thought of you by chance, and by the way, let's see how you are doing." ”

"Poof!"

Zhu Qing stepped forward in two steps and knelt in front of Gu Chen;

The boy didn't know what was going on, so he couldn't help but say, "Mother, mother, don't cry, Bao'er will help you fight the bad guys!"

The pink fist was clenched, and the boy rushed towards Gu Chen, but was stopped by Zhu Qing, "Bao'er must not be rude, kneel down quickly, this is my mother's father-in-law." ”

The boy was very obedient, and just wanted to kneel, but was hugged by Gu Chen, "The man has gold under his knees, how can he kneel indiscriminately?" ”

Zhu Qing had tears of excitement on her face, she was busy wiping them, and she was a little at a loss, "Engong, you, you are quick, sit in the house quickly, I will prepare tea for you." ”

Gu Chen waved his hand to stop, "Don't be busy, I'm just passing by to take a look." ”

"Don't be busy, don't be busy, Engong, sit in the house quickly, I'll go and prepare it for you. ”

couldn't hold Zhu Qing's enthusiasm, Gu Chen had to carry the boy into the room first.

Er Niu's voice suddenly sounded in Gu Chen's mind, "Gu Chen, this little guy is not simple. ”

Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"

"Just take a closer look. ”

Hearing Er Niu say this, Gu Chen's eyes were slightly purple, and his soul power penetrated the boy's body, and he couldn't help but be surprised, the nine veins were unblocked!

Gu Chen saw through the boy's body, and then suddenly discovered that the meridians in the boy's body were like unimpeded avenues, and even at this time, they were already better than the meridians of many cultivators.

Gu Chen frowned, "Erniu, what's going on, although I was also born with nine smooth veins, but, at such a young age, how can I have such a tenacious meridian?"

"I'm afraid, that's not the point. ”

Gu Chen was surprised again, and he smiled, "Your name is Bao'er, right?"

The boy nodded, "My name is Zhu Xiaobao." ”

"Zhu Xiaobao, come, let's get to know me, my name is Gu Chen. ”

Gu Chen's big hand grabbed Zhu Xiaobao's small hand, and the vitality directly entered his body, and then he suddenly discovered that in his lower abdomen, there was a sealed power, very strong!

"Uncle, your hands are so hot. ”

"yes, then you can come down and play by yourself. Gu Chen smiled, put Zhu Xiaobao on the ground, and said to Erniu, "It seems that someone is cultivating him, but the power is sealed, it seems that he doesn't know it, it should be cultivated secretly." ”

"Huh. Erniu couldn't help but say, "It's really interesting, I didn't expect this small Zizhu Town, there are such capable people, ordinary people, can't do this kind of thing." ”

Gu Chen nodded, "You'll find out when you ask." ”

As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Zhu Qing had already walked into the room with tea, she first glanced at Zhu Xiaobao who was playing on the side, and then said, "Xiaobao, this child is withdrawn and doesn't want to play with others, forgive me." ”

"Look at what you said, I seem to be terrible. ”

"No, no, don't misunderstand ....... ”

Gu Chen waved his hand and said, "Don't call me Grace, it sounds old, but when you called me big brother back then, it's not appropriate now, it's better to call me Brother Chen." ”

"Here, Qing'er still calls you young master. ”

"Feel free, as long as you're comfortable. Gu Chen took a sip of the teacup and said, "Okay, don't stand, sit down, you weren't so restrained when you were young, why are you restrained now." ”

Zhu Qing pursed her lips and smiled, sat opposite Gu Chen, and wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to say it for a while.

Gu Chen broke the embarrassment and said, "When I said goodbye, you were still a child, I didn't expect to say goodbye, you are already a mother, time flies so fast." ”

Zhu Qing said, "Yes, Qing'er is already old, but the young master is still the same as back then, there is no change. ”

"Each has its pros and cons. Gu Chen sighed with emotion, "The premise of life is obtained, but in exchange for being alone." ”

"The young master is really joking, according to your conditions, where can't you find a few women to be wives, in fact, you don't want to. ”

Gu Chen smiled meaningfully, and didn't argue on this issue; "What about your man, it's already dinner time, why don't you see him come back?"

Suddenly asked this question by Gu Chen, Zhu Qing's face immediately became unnatural, she hurriedly picked up Gu Chen's teacup and said, "Young master, the tea is cold, Qing'er will add some to you." ”

Looking at Zhu Qing's unnatural face, Gu Chen nodded thoughtfully, "Zhu Xiaobao, this is your surname, what happened, who is that man?"

"Young master, no, no one, it's all in the past. ”

"Let's talk about it, actually, I really want to know how you've been doing all these years, is it that the mayor of Zizhu Town didn't treat you well after I left? ”

"Young master, don't. Zhu Qing hurriedly said, "No matter what happens to my father-in-law, my father-in-law actually treats me very well, really well." ”

"So you're living in this kind of place?"

"This, this is my ....... ”

As Zhu Qing told what had happened over the years, Gu Chen couldn't help but look helpless.

Bao Dashan, the mayor of Zizhu Town, did treat her as his own daughter as he promised Gu Chen, and even when Zhu Qing was eighteen years old, he found a son with a fairly good family background for her.

However, when Zhu Qing and the man were on a trip, they encountered heavy rain, and as a result, the two hid in a dilapidated temple, and the heavy rain did not stop, and Zhu Qing was also infected with the wind chill, so he fell asleep.

In a daze, she felt that someone had violated her, thinking that it was the son, and when she thought that the two were about to get married, she half-pushed and half-obeyed.

As a result, when she woke up the next day, Zhu Qing found that she was alone, but she was gone.

Three days later, the child's body was recovered from the river, along with the bodies of two strangers, and three months later, Zhu Qing found out that she was pregnant.

Bao Dashan went to the family to discuss, but the family did not admit it, seeing that Zhu Qing's belly was getting bigger and bigger, the town began to gossip, and Bao Dashan was afraid of reputation, so he sent people here and gave money regularly every month, and later after Xiaobao was one year old, it was Zhu Qing who took the initiative to stop asking for this help.

Gu Chen didn't know what to say for a while, he took out a pot of wine and drank it.

"Are you angry?"

"It's a failure. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Heh, I can't live a worldly life anymore, maybe I pinned my heart on Zhu Qing's body, but seeing that she was not doing well, I felt a sense of failure in my heart. ”

"I thought you were going to be angry. ”

"Angry? What's angry? This is the world, the only person I can find is Bao Dashan, but he is already considered benevolent and righteous, do I have any reason to say him?"

"That's right, but that's not the point, after all, it's over, you'd better ask, if Xiaobao is in contact with someone, I'm really curious about the person behind Xiaobao. ”

Gu Chen couldn't help but nodded, indeed, not to mention Erniu's curiosity, he was also curious in his heart now, what kind of person would hide in this Zizhu Town, and then do the thing of Xiaobao who was secretly cultivated?
