Everyone watched the old woman leave like this, and it took an unknown amount of time before they withdrew their gaze.

This old woman's name is Zhu Xiyan, and she is over sixty years old this year.

The reason why everyone would be surprised by the appearance of the old woman was because Zhu Xiyan's son was the mother of the person who awakened the martial soul in Maple Leaf Village thirty years ago and had innate soul power.

The reason why she was lamented and surprised was because her son was dead, killed in a war between the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Sun and Moon Empire a few years ago.

On that day, the entire Maple Leaf Village knew that their pride had left forever.

It wasn't until later that his body was returned to the village, and everyone attended that funeral.

The old woman, who was originally full of energy, has also become old, and it seems that time is running out.

Since then, Zhu Xiyan has rarely appeared in the eyes of the villagers, of course, the people in the village will still visit the elderly, whether it is food or something else, there is no less, although the imperial pension is not a lot, but the old woman handed it all over to the village to improve the infrastructure.

On the trail of Maple Village.

Zhu Xiyan walked quietly, the cool evening breeze kept blowing on her body, and her bright eyes looked at the village where she had lived for decades.

Widowed in middle age, widowed in old age! That's what she's been through for 60 years.

Until today, she could feel that her life was almost coming to an end, and it happened that today was the day of the martial soul awakening ceremony, so she walked out of the house to observe for a while.

"Let's go to the old place and have a look, I'm afraid I won't have a chance in the future." Under the woods, Zhu Xiyan murmured in a low voice.

She walked down the path towards a meadow of water next to the river in Maple Village.

The environment of Maple Village is really beautiful, in addition to the maple forest that gives the village its name, there are also many beautiful trees and flowers.

A few minutes later, Zhu Xiyan walked to a water meadow called the Zeshui River.

The river here is clear, you can clearly see some small fish swimming in it, there are some lotus flowers on the river surface, there are several dragonflies flying, on the bank of the river, the green grass is constantly shaking with the evening breeze, and in the woods on both sides of the path, a large number of fireflies are emitting light, like stars in the sky.

Zhu Xiyan held a cane in her hand, and looked at this place where her son liked to play most when he was a child.

"Stinky boy, it's all night and you're still playing here, you can't go, if you don't go, the old lady is going to do it!"

"Mother! I was wrong, you put the stick down and I'll go back. ”

"The wings are stiff, and I dare to bargain with the old lady."

"No, I didn't mean that."

"I think that's what you mean!"

……

"Let's go, go home for dinner, and get you your favorite stir-fried chicken with mushrooms."

"Hehe, mother's best!"

"You're just talking!"

On the riverbank, the memories in Zhu Xiyan's eyes gradually withdrew as the night fell.

It's getting late, and it's time to go back.

Thinking about it, she rubbed her eyes slightly, and there seemed to be sand.

Turn around, take a step, and start walking back.

Airplanes!

Suddenly, when she walked less than ten meters, a trembling vibration sounded suddenly.

The space suddenly splashed with layers of ripples.

A golden ball of light slowly descended into the water meadow.

Immediately!

"Wow, wow, wow!"

A baby's cry rang out.

Zhu Xiyan thought that she had heard it wrong, she shook her head, but when the cry became clearer and clearer, the movement under her feet stopped.

Because of the bright lights, I don't know when they illuminated the path she left.

Zhu Xiyan turned around in confusion, she saw that there was a golden ball of light inexplicably coming out of the place where the water meadow landed.

The golden light cluster was very conspicuous in the dim environment, and with the appearance of the light cluster, an invisible breath of life instantly spread, enveloping the entire Maple Leaf Village almost in the blink of an eye.

Zhu Xiyan hurriedly walked to the shore again with a cane, and then looked along the light group.

Suddenly, she was stunned, because in the water meadow, she didn't know when a baby actually appeared.

"Who left the child here!" Zhu Xiyan looked at the crying baby in surprise, how did this child appear here.

Soon, Zhu Xiyan remembered something, she hurriedly walked over and looked down at the pink-carved baby.

Looking at the baby whose back was soaked in the shallow river water, a trace of love and distress flashed in her eyes, and she quickly picked it up.

Swish!

It was this hug, and in an instant, the golden light suspended around the baby disappeared, and it invisibly poured into the baby's body.

At the same time, a ray of light quietly entered Zhu Xiyan's body, and her originally drooping and old body was actually more alive at this moment.

But she didn't know all this.

Walking back to the shore with the baby in her arms, Zhu Xiyan's bright eyes stared at the face of the baby in her arms.

Perhaps because of being held, the baby stopped crying and opened his eyes, and his eyes kept looking at the old man holding him.

The two observed each other, and Zhu Xiyan cautiously reached out and touched the baby's cheek, tender and slippery.

After being petted, the baby suddenly opened its little mouth and laughed.

Seeing this, a smile suddenly appeared on Zhu Xiyan's old face.

In Maple Leaf Village, there is a rumor, that is, if the baby smiles at the old man, the life expectancy of the old man will increase, although it is just a rumor, but inexplicably, she feels that the strength in her body is greater, and her mind is not so slow.

"I don't know who left you here so ruthlessly." Zhu Xiyan carefully held the baby, and there was some anger in her heart.

Then she looked around again, it was almost completely dark, thinking, Zhu Xiyan originally wanted to see if there were still people around, but after observing for a while and not finding it, she could only take the baby back.

Fortunately, although it was already dark, she had been walking the road here for decades, and she was not familiar with it for a long time, and she didn't know why the vitality on her body increased, and she didn't know how much easier it was to walk than before, and she didn't even need the assistance of crutches anymore.

However, Zhu Xiyan obviously didn't think about it so much, and just rushed back in the direction of home.

Zhu Xiyan's home is on the east side of the village, just about 700 meters away from the river.

When she got home, she looked down at the baby and smiled kindly, because the baby had already fallen asleep.

Carefully put the baby on his bed, then took out a thin blanket from the cabinet and gently covered it.

Standing beside the bed, Zhu Xiyan silently watched the cute appearance of the baby sleeping soundly.

She could feel the extraordinaryness of the baby, the golden light just now was the best proof, but she didn't know where the baby's parents had gone.

Thinking about it, Zhu Xiyan suddenly said:

"I don't know where your parents went...... My son's surname is Qin, you picked it up in Zeshui River, you will be called Qin Ze in the future. ”
