Early in the morning, when the sky was bright, Miao Zhen opened her eyes and she sat up. On the left-hand side, Lilian was breathing evenly and sleeping soundly, but Xu Shuo, who was supposed to be on the right-hand side, was nowhere to be seen.

Miao Zhen rubbed his eyes and sat quietly for a while, letting his consciousness slowly wake up.

Today is the day to return to her hometown, even though the man named Bai Yu said that her hometown has been reduced to ruins.

However, today is the day to return to my hometown.

When she was fully conscious, Miao Zhen got up and helped Lilian tuck the quilt, then pushed open the door of the wooden house and walked out.

The cold wind in the forest in the early morning, Miao Zhen exhaled white air, and couldn't help but shiver, she tightened her clothes, and walked towards the big wooden house where she had dinner last night. After walking a few steps, she saw Xu Shuo standing outside the big wooden house, where there was a large iron pot, Xu Shuo was standing alone in front of the iron pot, holding a long-handled wooden spoon and stirring in the pot.

"Brother Xu Shuo." Miao Zhen called him.

Xu Shuo turned his head and saw that it was Miao Zhen, and smiled slightly, "Good morning, Miao Zhen." ”

Miao Zhen didn't respond as usual, she stepped on the snow one by one to come to Xu Shuo's side, lifted the corner of Xu Shuo's coat, and leaned her head on Xu Shuo's waist.

Xu Shuo didn't care much, when no one around was paying attention, Miao Zhen would occasionally be coquettish to him like this. He continued to stir the soup in the pot with a wooden spoon with one hand, and the palm of the other hand gently attached to the side of Miao Zhen's face, warming the latter's somewhat cold little face.

With the temperature of Xu Shuo's palm and the aroma wafting from the pot, Miao Zhen closed his eyes comfortably.

"Haven't you woken up yet?"

"Hmm."

"I'll be able to eat breakfast soon, I used the salt we brought myself, and this soup should taste better than last night's."

"Hmm."

"I told Bai Yu that guy that I would finish eating in a while, and when he finished arranging today's work with the children in the village, we would go to Blood Moon Village."

Miao Zhen opened his eyes and saw that the soup in the pot in front of him was spinning, and a piece of white flesh was undulating in a circle.

"Brother Xu Shuo."

"What's wrong?"

"What if I can't find my family?"

Xu Shuo's movements paused for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

"Don't think too much about it, it's normal to find this thing for a while, so look for it slowly."

"And what if you can't find it in the end?"

"Then my boss and I are your family."

Miao Zhen's eyes dimmed a little, she knew that this was a word of comfort, but she didn't want to hear it.

"Brother Xu Shuo, if you can't find it, will you send me back to Chewa City?"

"Don't you want to go back to the boss?"

"I don't know ......"

Xu Shuo licked his chapped lips, he didn't know what to say, in fact, he was also at a loss at the moment, he had expected that if it went well, he would send Miao Zhen back to his hometown, and then go to meet with the envoy of the Luoda Empire.

But now that the Blood Moon Village is in ruins, Miao Zhen has no place to settle down, and he doesn't dare to meet with the envoys of the Luoda Empire, in case the people from the Luoda Empire are dead-headed, he wants Xu Shuo to set off with them immediately to Luoda, so what should Miao Zhen do? Just find a guild and hire someone to send Miao Zhen back? He didn't feel at ease, he didn't believe in the way of the world at all.

So what happens after that? He had a worst-case scenario in his mind, which worried him, but he couldn't show it in front of Miao Zhen, and could only pray that things would turn for the better.

Just when the atmosphere gradually became sad, the door of the big wooden house opened, and the mute girl pushed Bai Yu out, so Xu Shuo changed the topic.

"The soup is ready to drink, can you bring it in now?" Xu Shuo asked Bai Yu.

"Let's go inside." Bai Yu said.

Xu Shuo lowered his head and said to Miao Zhen, "Go and call Lilian to come over, it's time for breakfast." ”

Miao Zhen agreed, turned around and walked towards the north room.

Breakfast time.

Baozi sat next to Xu Shuo again, he took a sip of stewed soup, and his eyebrows were instantly raised.

"Oh! Delicious! You've got a hand! Baozi happily poked Xu Shuo with his elbow.

"Don't poke someone in the waist when they're eating." Xu Shuo took a sip of soup and said, "Just add some salt and butter." ”

"Salt and butter? You're so rich! Baozi exclaimed.

"Shhhhh Xu Shuo said.

It was indeed sent, Lilien's mother, although it was Lilion's stuff.

"Oh...... I heard you're going into town in the afternoon? Baozi asked in a low voice.

"Bai Yu told you?" Xu Shuo asked.

"Well, I told us and Brother Toshio to take you into the city."

Xu Shuo nodded.

After he told Bai Yu last night that he wanted to enter the city, Bai Yu promised to let Junxiong take them into the city, so today's itinerary is: go to Blood Moon Village in the morning and enter the city in the afternoon.

After eating, Bai Yu began to assign work to the little ghosts.

"Dada, your group is still the same, go to the narrow slope to dig pimple bags, and bring back edible wild vegetables when you encounter them. Ling, your group won't go to collect firewood today, the firewood is enough for a while, half of your group will go to weave Maza with Lina and them today, and half of you will join Dada's group to dig pimple bags. Toshio, remember to come back before noon today, you have other tasks. Dapeng, your task today is to thicken this house, the weather is getting colder and colder, and it can't go on like this. Also, I'm going out this morning, so you can ask Rina if you have anything, understand? ”

The children said in unison, "Got it——! ””

"Remember to wrap your feet when you go out, if you find that your feet are about to feel nothing, remember to come back or make a fire on the spot to warm your feet, understand?"

"Understood—""

"Also, don't go too deep into the forest, don't break away from the group, and remember to come back and report if you see the footprints of birds of prey nearby, understand?"

"Got it......"

"If you see a guard......"

"Got it——! ”

"Ahem, you guys! I'm not done yet! ”

After tossing for a while, Bai Yu finally finished explaining everything he wanted to explain, and was ready to go on the road with Xu Shuo and others.

The mute girl Lina is the acting village head, so she can't follow, and Xu Shuo will push the cart along the way - but referring to the situation last night, it was really troublesome to push the cart from the forest, so Xu Shuo decided to go directly with Bai Yu on his back.

Lina was always worried about Bai Yu, and after making several gestures before leaving, Bai Yu comforted her for a while before the four of them set out on their way.

The way to the Blood Moon Village is indeed difficult to find, according to Bai Yu's words, if you want to enter the barrier set by the Blood Moon Clan, there is a special way to travel. The group walked for several miles in a certain direction, and after seeing a big tree tied with a red rope, Bai Yu asked them to turn around and return in a straight line along the same road.

At first, Xu Shuo thought that Bai Yu had made a mistake, but Bai Yu insisted, so they walked along the straight line, but it didn't take long to see the tree tied with the red rope again, Bai Yu asked them to turn around again, and after Xu Shuo and the others did so, they met the red rope tree for the third time.

"Okay, from here, go straight ahead, and you will arrive at Blood Moon Village."
