Chapter 50: Holidays
"Oops, oops, I threw in the towel!!"
Xiao Wu shouted and let herself lie on the ground.
Shen Yuan watched Xiao Wu's movements, chuckled, and then let go of Tang San's joints held in his hand, and said, "Little Sanzi, you lost again." β
As he spoke, he smiled and patted Tang San's shoulder.
Tang San frowned bitterly, rubbed the joints on his arms, and said unwillingly: "Xiao Yuan, I feel that now I am not your opponent at all when I go with Xiao Wu." β
"Don't say that." Shen Yuan said with a smile: "Those secret weapons of yours are very dangerous, I will be hit if I am not careful." β
Tang San rolled his eyes and said, "How can it be so easy, as soon as I want to use the secret weapon now, Yueyue will roar with a soul, and some of my secret weapon techniques can't be used at all!! β
Speaking of this, Tang San glanced at the Phantom Moon Fox who was lying elegantly beside Shen Yuan.
The Phantom Moon Fox completely ignored Tang San's bitter expression, and calmly rested his head on his legs, gently closing his eyes, looking light-hearted.
I have to say that with the continuous enhancement of the strength of the Phantom Moon Fox, her temperament has become more and more mature, and now she prefers to lie quietly beside Shen Yuan, and even Xiao Wu, who often liked to get together when she was a child, no longer takes the initiative to approach, which is completely different from her slightly timid and clingy appearance before.
"Little San, the holiday is coming again, are you still going to work as a helper in the blacksmith shop this year?" Shen Yuan asked Tang San.
Tang San said: "Well, I have already agreed with the owner of the blacksmith shop that I will go to him this vacation." How? Are you going out this year? β
Shen Yuan nodded and said, "Hmm! It's been four years since I left home, so it's time to go back and see my grandfather and see if I can pick him up. β
"Huh? Brother, are you going back? Xiao Wu on the side immediately sat up and looked at Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan said: "That's right! It's been four years, and I'm going back to see how my grandfather is doing. Don't you want to go back? Don't want to go back to see your adoptive parents? Speaking of this, Shen Yuan was slightly teasing and looked at Xiao Wu with a smile.
"Ah...... Oh...... Yes! Right! I...... I'm going to go back and see it too! That's right! β
Hearing Shen Yuan's words, Xiao Wu remembered that she had lied to Shen Yuan and had talked about this setting.
After so many years, I almost forgot about it.
[Go back!] It's not bad to go back, just to meet Da Ming and Er Ming! ]
Thinking of this, Xiao Wu's face was full of excitement, and he couldn't wait to go back to the Star Dou Forest now and tell Da Ming and Er Ming about what he had experienced in the human world in the past few years.
Tang San looked at Xiao Wu's incoherent appearance strangely, and then said to Shen Yuan, "I remember you said that your home is Xingcao Village on the edge of the Star Dou Forest. It should be dangerous on the edge of the Star Dou Forest! β
"Danger is a natural danger, from time to time, soul beasts will come out of the Star Dou Forest, and it will inevitably hurt the people over there. Thanks to the herbs in our village, which are still quite good, they will attract many soul master adventurers to come over, and with their help, they can barely survive. β
Xiao Wu lowered her head slightly when she listened, because of Shen Yuan's relationship, she often went to Xingcao Village to play, and her relationship with the villagers in the village was still good, and before leaving, she specially asked Da Ming Erming to help expel some slightly powerful soul beasts over there.
Shen Yuan sighed: "But that's it, there are fewer and fewer people in the village, which is why I want to take my grandfather over, there is not enough insurance." It's really not good, so it's better to send it to the nearest Boulder City over there. β
Although Shen Yuan said that because of the relationship between martial souls, there didn't seem to be any soul beasts that would attack him, but after so many years over the years, he still saw many people in the village injured.
......
A few days later, Shen Yuan and Xiao Wu traveled lightly and separated from Tang San at the gate of the academy.
Tang San looked at Shen Yuan and said jokingly: "You have to go home for so many days, but be careful, you won't be my opponent when you come back." β
Shen Yuan patted his chest with a smile and said with a chuckle, "Oh?!" Then you have to work harder, it just so happens that my soul power has recently broken through. After saying that, he turned around and left with Xiao Wu.
Leaving Tang San alone at the door, he looked at Shen Yuan's back in a daze, gritted his teeth and turned around and went back to the dormitory to cultivate.
"Brother, are you really going to upgrade again? Isn't that going to catch up with us? On the way, Xiao Wu leaned sideways and asked Shen Yuan curiously.
"Not yet, I'll just talk about scaring the mistress, hehe." Shen Yuan said with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Forehead ......" Xiao Wu looked at her "naΓ―ve" brother speechlessly, she didn't expect that her brother would bury a pit for Tang San before leaving.
This time when they go back, Shen Yuan and Xiao Wu are already Great Soul Masters, and they don't need to hire an adventure team or anything when they go back to Xingcao Village, and the speed along the way is much faster than at the beginning.
In less than ten days, Shen Yuan and the two had already come to the vicinity of the Star Dou Forest.
Seeing the familiar scene, both of them were slightly excited in their hearts, and a feeling of homesickness gradually rose in Shen Yuan's heart.
After all, I haven't seen my grandfather for so many years, and the correspondence is not timely enough, and I haven't sent letters to each other a few times over the years.
Soon, Shen Yuan and the two came to the familiar village gate, and as soon as they entered the village, they saw a familiar old man half-lying under the big tree at the entrance of the village, squinting slightly to cover the cold.
"Isn't this the old village chief? Long time no see. Shen Yuan stepped forward with Xiao Wu and greeted with a smile.
Noisy by the voices around him, the old village chief frowned, opened his eyes, and saw a half-grown boy and a little girl standing in front of him, smiling at him.
On closer inspection, the faces of these two people look a little familiar.
Shen Yuan saw that the old village chief was looking at the two of them with suspicious eyes, and hurriedly explained: "Village chief, have you forgotten us? I'm Shen Yuan and Xiao Wu. You sent us out four years ago, huh? β
Hearing this, the village chief's eyes suddenly widened, and looking at the two of them, he suddenly remembered an innate soul power that appeared in his village four years ago, wasn't it Shen Yuan in front of him.
"Oh, this isn't Shen Yuan! Why did it take so many years to come back! The village chief immediately got up and looked at Shen Yuan and the two excitedly.
As he spoke, he wanted to reach out and pat Shen Yuan's shoulder, but as if he thought of something, he stretched out his hand back again.
Shen Yuan looked at the village chief's movements, and sighed in his heart: [The village chief is really still the same, and he is always so respectful of the soul master's affairs. ]
Because of the village chief's slightly restrained movements, Shen Yuan suddenly felt much less happy to meet the familiar person again, and continued to say a few words to the village chief, then said goodbye to the village chief and walked home.
The old village chief looked at Shen Yuan and the two of them, and thought enviously: [Old Shen Tou is really lucky, picking up such a talented and filial child!]
Walking on the road in the village, looking at the familiar scenes around him, the pace under his feet gradually accelerated, and Xiao Wu on the side seemed to feel Shen Yuan's excitement, and just obediently followed behind Shen Yuan.
I just learned from the village chief that some of the old people in the village have begun to slowly stop going to the Star Dou Forest to collect medicine frequently in recent years, and most of these tasks are handed over to the next generation of younger people, including their grandfather, who should also rest at home now.
Soon, Shen Yuan came to the familiar gate, and he couldn't take a step for a while.
He was a little afraid that his grandfather would be angry, and complained that he had not come back to see him for so many years, and he hesitated at the door for a long time.
Xiao Wu on the side looked at his brother's hesitant and slightly panicked look, his eyes softened instantly, and he gently stretched out his hand to hold Shen Yuan's hand, and looked at Shen Yuan firmly with crystal eyes.
As if feeling the thoughts and support of the lovely people around him, Shen Yuan took a few deep breaths, shook the tender hand in his hand vigorously, and slammed open the door and walked in.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw an old man squinting on a deck chair in the courtyard.
Seeing that person, Shen Yuan couldn't hold back any longer, and shouted, "Grandpa!" β
There was a slight tremor in his voice.
