"Exhausted, aren't you?"

Ah Candle handed Xia Xiao a bowl of water, his throat was already smoking, and he drank it at this time, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he wiped the corners of his mouth. However, it is worth being tired for so long, at least I can determine the current situation of the great wilderness, and I will not worry all the time. It's better to be committed to things than to fantasize all the time.

The sky is getting dark, and many people who can finish rowing the ground are still busy in the field, they have just planted the seeds given by Xia Xiao, because the soil is moist, there is no need to water. You can stand in the field and appreciate your masterpiece, and a faint sense of accomplishment arises spontaneously.

Some time ago, they were worried and afraid, and they didn't have the energy to do this, otherwise they wouldn't have to go hungry, let alone get food on credit. But it's not too late now, I want to come to thank Xia Xiao, that famous person, I didn't expect to be so kind. Xia Xiao's trip, they couldn't find the slightest flaw, and everyone in the southern country was very grateful, that is, the heads of the three kingdoms were all dead, and the future was bleak......

The old man in the field sighed and said that his country was ruined and his family was ruined, which was really miserable, but the old woman beside him said again:

"At least we are still alive, unlike those who went to war, more than 700,000 people, along with those doctors, died on the battlefield."

"That's right, at least I'm still alive and can still eat......"

The old man's wrinkles deepened in the twilight, and he glanced at the horizon, as if he was looking at himself who was about to set. But pack up your things and go back with a bamboo basket.

"Grandpa, thank you for the water."

Ah Candle's voice was sweet, so that the two old men looked back with a kind smile on their faces, and it could be seen that Xia Xiao had a cold face, and he immediately knelt down and was about to salute.

"Old man, I can't help it."

On this darkening field road, Xia Xiao hurriedly helped them up.

"Thank you, Young Master Xia Xiao, otherwise we strangers will probably starve to death!"

"Yes, the only food in the family was robbed, I thought I was going to starve to death, thanks to you."

The two insisted on kneeling, and Xia Xiao couldn't stop them, but he helped them up and slowly walked towards Los Angeles. Because of their slow legs, they came slower, and they were assigned to a very remote land, but where there was land, there was food, and they did not choose. But seeing Xia Xiao and Ah Candle helping themselves to the city, the old man was a little embarrassed and said:

"Our two old guys have inconvenient legs, young master, let's go first!"

"It's okay, we're just going around."

Looking at the seeds planted in the field, Xia Xiao nodded secretly, everyone's efficiency was higher than he thought. It seems that it is not particularly difficult to pacify the Great Wilderness, it just takes time. But at least there is some hope, as long as it is so, everything will be okay sooner or later. It's just that the country is still there, but things are different.

Xia Xiao and Ah Candle were speechless all the way, the former wondering when to bring everyone back to their hometown. But there are no towns east of the Wall of Life, because they have been razed to the ground, and it is difficult to re-inhabit. There is also the southern country and the shooters, and it is not a way to stay here all the time, but it is still a question of when to leave.

These things are too complicated, Xia Xiao is not good at it, but now he is the only one to worry about. And Ah Candle beside him was still thinking about why he wasn't hungry. The last time she ate was in the morning, if she used to, she would have been hungry, but now she doesn't feel anything at all. If she is not hungry, she has less desire to eat, but she still wants to eat, and she feels a little nostalgic when she thinks that she has not eaten white rice with hot sauce for a long time.

"What do you eat at night?"

"What do you want to eat?"

"Rice with hot sauce."

"Okay."

The extremely smooth conversation with Xia Xiao made Ah Candle smile on his face, the old man was extremely unnatural, but Xia Xiao had already pulled Ah Candle and left after a simple farewell.

"Let's go around town and go back and see how everyone is doing."

"Okay!"

Ah Candle shook Xia Xiao's arm, still like when he first met, making him smile with a smile on his face.

In the city, the lights of thousands of homes are lit, and the smoke of late cooking rises one by one, which is full of fragrant rice, vegetables and fruits. Seeing such a scene, listening to the laughter of children, he was finally relieved, but the appearance of the family reunion in the lamp and candle window made him sigh secretly.

Walking into a remote alley, the not-so-deserted atmosphere relieves its mind. There are several families discussing the scene when they saw Xia Xiao today, as well as his domineering and strength, and there are hoes and crop seeds with a wave of their hands, which is really enviable.

In the words of admiration and envy, they didn't know that Xia Xiao was outside the courtyard gate. He didn't stay long, and walked forward, because he saw a familiar figure.

Following Xia Xiao's gaze, Ah Candle also looked over. In the open window, the figure of the woman made Ah Candle feel a little familiar, and he quickly recognized it, but it was a little different from what he remembered.

"I didn't expect her to be there."

"Let's go check it out!"

Ah Candle was playful, because the afternoon was too boring, and when Xia Xiao communicated with them, she sat alone on the side. Now that she finally ran into an acquaintance, she had to go and talk. Ah Candle was raised by the people of the village, and he had a very sincere honesty and enthusiasm in his temperament, so he knocked on the door in a hurry.

After the Great Wilderness lost 30 million people, Ah Zhu knew very few people, which made him even more excited.

After knocking on the door, Ah Candle saw the woman by the window and turned her head and said:

"Chunbao, go open the door."

Soon, a little girl of five or six years old pushed open the door and staggered over.

"Who are you?"

"Your mother's old friend."

The little girl glanced inside the room, her big clear eyes were full of doubt, but she still struggled to stand on tiptoe, but she just couldn't touch the deadbolt. Seeing this, Ah Candle stretched out his slender arm, took it away, and smiled. The little girl, perhaps a little frightened of the strangers, ran back to her room before they could enter the courtyard.

"You're scaring people."

Ah Candle was a little reproachful and followed. Xia Xiao pouted and smiled, as if he was going back to that year, but when he entered the Qinglou, he saw a red candle. Today, the red candle is still there, but the drunken green building has become a clean hut.

Stepping into it, Ah Candle saw the woman turn around and greeted happily.

"Sister Qingye'er, long time no see."

This woman is the light leaf that Xia Xiao and Ah Candle saw in Yu Valley when they walked the world looking for darkness. At that time, she was the number one signboard of the Xianju, and the ministers of the court and the central government did not dare to belittle her at will, and she was somewhat famous in the entire Yugu. But now there is a change, the posture is still there, but it is pure and simple, there is no painting on the forehead of the three long leaves of green flowers, the green silk is up to the waist, but there is no step shaking, and there is no sachet on the waist, just a plain skirt and a wooden hairpin, but there is still a calm and unhurried temperament.

Behind her was the little girl from before, looking at the two in front of her with beautiful eyes, with a smile on her face.

"I should call you Ah Candle, right?"

Ah Candle smiled, no longer using the strange title he used to have. In the past, Xia Xiao concealed his identity and claimed to be Fang Huan, while Ah Candle was full of sorrow. His name is quite normal, but the name Ah Candle seems too strange, but at that time, she had guessed something, but now she has been sure, and the mystery is solved.

In the winter of three years ago, when she saw Xia Xiao and Ah Candle, Qingye'er felt that the two of them were extraordinary, although the details were blurred, but not long after they appeared, she left Yugu and Liuxianju, like duckweed and light leaves to start a new life. She went to many places, traveled in the mountains and rivers, and lived freely, but it became unexpected to meet the people in front of her.

In her eyes, Yuanbei is no different from the past, and so is Fang Huan behind her. It's that they're less mysterious, and they're more heavy.

Qing Ye'er and Fang Huan, to be precise, looked at Xia Xiao, the latter smiled faintly, not for happiness, but for politeness. He is no longer the young man who used to be under the rain of Yu Gu, but he has never forgotten his original intention. At least he felt that he was still his old self, and he hadn't changed at all.

"How's it going?"

"It's fine, especially since you're here."

"Can you eat enough?"

"We already had less to eat, but with this food, we had enough for two weeks."

Seeing this, Xia Xiao nodded slightly. Ah Candle squatted down in front of her and stretched out her hand to the little girl behind Qingye'er, but she took a few steps back timidly, grabbed Qingye'er's skirt with her little hands, and buried her little face on it.

"Chunbao, it's okay, these are good people, my friends."

The little girl seemed to understand, and then stretched out her fleshy little hand to Ah Candle. The latter smiled at her, and she slowly put away the fear of strangeness.

"Sister Qingye'er, I didn't expect you to be so young and have such a big daughter."

Qingye'er beckoned Xia Xiao and Ah Candle to sit, and poured tea for them at the same time, without feeling inferior because of the four walls of the family, and it was natural to replace tea with warm water. It was a confidence that went deep into her bones, and she smirked, full of charm, but her red lips opened slightly, and explained:

"Chun Bao is not my child, I saw that she was pitiful alone, so I left her by my side."

"Sister, you have a really good heart."

Ah Candle stroked the top of Chunbao's head, his eyes full of distress. I didn't expect such a cute little girl to be an orphan like herself, but she was lucky to meet her grandmother, and she was also lucky to meet Qingye'er.

"It's all hard-working people, just pulling each other's hands. By the way, how did you get here? It's hard to find such a small alley. ”

"Coincidentally, if you have any difficulties, you can come to us."

"Thank you for your kindness, but we two hard-working women can't repay this favor. Even if I protected it at the beginning, I couldn't repay it. ”

"It's a good reward for you to take her in, it's a spread of goodwill, but don't let her go your way."

Qing Ye'er wanted to speak and stopped, and was suffocated by Xia Xiao's words, but she still had a calm smile on her face. The past, even if you don't want to face it, still happens. This is fate, fate is unfair, luck is uneven!

Chunbao doesn't know what the relationship between her sister and these two people is, but she doesn't look like a good friend. My sister quickly got up, brought a plate of vegetarian dishes and two bowls of porridge, tilted her head with a smile, and asked:

"Would you like to eat something?"

"No, we have to go somewhere else."

"If you have any difficulties, you must come to me."

After Xia Xiao and Ah Candle spoke, they prepared to leave. The light leaves sent them away, shining in the dark night, with a strange bit of luster. Soon, she sat back and picked up vegetables for Chunbao, who asked in a milky voice:

"Sister, when did they meet your friends?"

"Three years ago, in Yugu."

"Where is Yu Gu?"

"It's the imperial capital of our southern country, where my sister lived before she wandered the world."

"Then why are you leaving? Is it because there is no food to eat? ”

"That's not it, but I left to meet you."

"Did you know you were going to meet me before you left?"

Chun Bao is more sensible than girls of the same age, probably because she was abandoned since childhood. Then, she heard her sister say something she had remembered for a long time, and although she didn't understand it, she always remembered it in her heart.

"yes, we're destined to meet. I will bring you to grow up healthy, and you, heal my broken childhood. ”
