It was getting late, and Old Man Zhang took Ye Xiao to his residence, although the house was not big, it was quite complete. Old man Zhang cooked a big bowl of meatballs for Ye Xiao, brought two pots of wine and half a catty of beef by the way, and the two drank each other under the moonlight.

Old man Zhang told Ye Xiao that Qingyi's girl seemed to have lost her soul since you disappeared. The group of babies who followed her were miserable during that time, and they were scolded all day long. Later, the thieves came from time to time, which made the residents worry all day long, let alone the children. It seems that she fled to the inner city with a few people first, but the small leader here said that they violated their territory, and then the two sides fought, and in the end, it seemed that Qingyi's girl won and merged the other party into her team. Most of the people here know about this, but they don't know what the girl's surname is. After all, who cares about children, let alone beggars.

I heard from the people over there that the girl grew up and became capable. A few years ago, he took that group of people out of the city, occupied a mountain, and proclaimed himself king. Over the years, their ranks have grown and they can compete with another great force outside the city.

Ye Xiao couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect Qing'er to do this, it was not easy. At the beginning, his family was quite well-off, and he never thought about his family, his father drowned in a shipwreck while doing business abroad, and his mother was depressed all day after learning the bad news, and died soon after. The housekeeper's subordinates ran away with the money, leaving only the young Ye Xiao alone. At that time, he sat day and night in front of the door like a demon, guarding the empty house, and he was waiting for his father to return. This was the case for several days on end, until the body could no longer bear it and passed out.

When he woke up again, the first thing he saw was a dirty face looking left and right in front of him, because the distance was too close, Ye Xiao hadn't come back to his senses, so he screamed "Ah, ghost" Ye Xiao was so frightened by that face that he sat up directly.

The dirty little face was also frightened by this sudden scene, and hurriedly retreated, ", you scared Lao Tzu" After speaking, the little girl also patted her chest to calm her rapid breathing. At this time, the five or six children next to her saw her appearance and laughed unconsciously, "Hahaha", the little girl stared at them with wide eyes, looked at them viciously, and slapped their hands on their heads one by one. Only then did a few children stop laughing, pouting, holding their hands in front of their lower abdomen, and not making a sound.

Ye Xiao reacted, it turned out that they were human. Looking at them, Ye Xiao was still silent, sitting alone in the corner, his father had not come back yet.

When the little girl saw Ye Xiao's sad appearance, she looked stupid and stupid, she felt a trace of pity, took out a dirty apple and handed it over, "Give, eat"

Ye Xiao looked at the apple, and was reluctant to take it, he only wanted his father now, and his father used to bring him a lot of food and toys every time he came back. Thinking about it, tears flowed. The little girl also heard from the neighbors about Ye Xiao's situation, and they didn't know what to do when they saw Ye Xiao like this.

"Otherwise, you will follow me, and I will cover you," the little girl said loudly

Maybe he was tired of crying, or maybe he was shocked by the little girl's words, Ye Xiao twitched a few times, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, lowered his head and was silent for a long time before calming down.

The little girl saw that Ye Xiao refused to answer for a long time, so she picked up the apple again and said, "Eat, this can be eaten, if you don't eat, your body will not be able to stand it." After saying that, a group of children behind her all followed suit, shouting for Ye Xiao to eat.

Ye Xiao slowly raised his hand to catch the apple, only to see that the apple had turned yellow in some places, softened, and began to rot. The little girl seemed to see through Ye Xiao's thoughts, and shouted, "Xiao Liu, go find a knife." ”

The youngest boy ran to the kitchen and handed the girl an old knife. The little girl didn't talk nonsense, picked up the apple in Ye Xiao's hand, peeled off the bad place, and handed it to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao took a big bite at this time, and this half of the apple went down, as if it evoked the memory of his stomach, and his stomach kept growling.

The little girl laughed when they heard this cooing, but Ye Xiao's face was full of embarrassment. The little girl handed over some food one after another, although it was a little dirty, but Ye Xiao felt that these were the best things he had ever eaten.

After going down a few times, he felt slightly full, and Ye Xiao stopped talking. The little girl saw that Ye Xiao was much more energetic, and said, "You join us, I will cover you in the future, and some of them will be eaten." ”

Ye Xiao looked at them and paused for a long time, "I.... Can I?"

The little girl heard Ye Xiao answer, and said excitedly, "Of course you can, you see that several of them are covered by me" After speaking, she gave a thumbs up and pointed to herself, looking very proud.

The little girls each reported their name and age. Originally, Ye Xiao was the biggest, and the little girl was second, but the little girl ranked him second on the grounds that he was the earliest in the industry, and the other five people were demoted in turn, and the sixth became the seventh.

In this way, Ye Xiao lived a begging life with them for several years in the outer city of Nandu County, until one day he met his master at the gate of Ye Mansion, and left them without saying hello.

Ye Xiao drank wine, looked at the moonlight and remembered the past, thinking that if it weren't for Qingyi and them, he might no longer be alive.

Looking at Uncle Zhang, who was already drunk, Ye Xiao suddenly felt that the moonlight tonight was very gentle, and this meatball was also exceptionally delicious.

Early the next morning, Ye Xiao said goodbye to Old Man Zhang, and went out of the city, this direction was not to go to Half Moon Valley, but to the interior of the Great Zhou, which was the side where Zhou An was in danger before.

Ye Xiao followed Uncle Zhang's instructions and quickly found the place. The closer he got to the mountain, he was inexplicably a little nervous, and he didn't know how to speak after not seeing him for many years.

When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, Ye Xiao saw that many fence nets had formed a wall, this mountain was not high, and he could see the roofs of some buildings on the slope of the mountain when he stood at the bottom. Although the slope is not high, there are cliffs on both sides of him, and this is the only way for ordinary people to go up.

The two people in front of the door saw Ye Xiao coming, and each raised the knife in his hand to block the door and asked, "Who is coming, report the name"

Ye Xiao looked at this battle, and it was quite complete. said, "I'm looking for you Qingwang, please help report it"

The two looked at the people, and their faces were quite honest, so one went to report it, leaving only one person to continue to guard the gate of the village. After a while, the gatekeeper came to the foot of the mountain with a man.

When the visitor saw Ye Xiao, he asked, "Who are you, what are you looking for our Qingwang to do?"

Ye Xiao noticed that this person didn't seem to be very easy to speak, and his body words were full of arrogance. He didn't want to cause trouble, so he still said, "I'm your old friend of Qingwang, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I have time to visit here today."

After hearing this, the man directly said angrily, "I know the old man of the Green King, I don't have a person like you, dare to disguise yourself as the old man of the Green King, I think you are looking for death." After speaking, he didn't talk nonsense, clenched his fists and hit Ye Xiao.

Seeing this, Ye Xiao couldn't speak clearly for a while, and he didn't talk nonsense, he flew into the air and flew into the gate of the village, and the people who came and guarded the village widened their eyes, they had seen this scene there, and they were usually used to punching and kicking. It took a while before he said, "Go and report to the Green King, there is an enemy coming"

Although he knows that he can't be defeated, he still can't lose this piece of momentum. Along the way, more and more people converge on the top of the mountain. Ye Xiao was also helpless, and he didn't know what kind of big movement he had made.

At the top of the mountain, in a teaching field, a woman was dancing a knife, and at this time, the person who ran to report came here to "report that the Qingwang is coming"

After hearing this, the woman's face became gloomy, and the one who dared to provoke them in the middle of the day was another group of mountain bandits, she tidied up her clothes, picked up the big knife and said angrily, "Lead the way, go and meet people."

Ye Xiao had already arrived at the flat dam on the top of the mountain at this time, and hundreds of people surrounded him. Seeing that only one person was attacking, everyone had no intention of making a move, thinking that even if one person spits, they would have to drown him.

On the high platform on the dam, a man looked at the visitor and realized that he seemed to have seen him somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while. At this time, the man at the foot of the mountain came to him, and the man looked at the man and said, "Third brother, you are here."

The man known as the third brother nodded in response, and said with a heavy face, "Eighth brother, our eldest sister has ever had an old friend." ”

After hearing this, the eighth child pondered for a moment, "Old man? There shouldn't be, we grew up together, isn't his old man our old man?"

The third child frowned after hearing this, "That's going to be difficult, this person's martial arts are extremely high, even if we go together, we may not be able to take him." ”

The eighth child was shocked when he heard this, and thought to himself that we had provoked some big man recently, and sent a master to mess with us.

At this time, a woman and several men came to the high platform. The third and eighth children all called Sister Sheng, and when everyone in the audience saw the visitor, they shouted in unison, "Qingwang, Qingwang, Qingwang".

Qingwang raised his hand and signaled that it was okay, and the hundreds of people below were silent. Qingwang's eyes swept around, and when she saw the man in the crowd below, at that moment she was like a lightning strike, as if the world was spinning, everything was fixed on that smiling face, in her eyes, there was only that person in her world at this moment. Ye Xiao looked at Qing Yi, who was known as the Green King by everyone, and smiled slightly, it was really her.

"Eldest sister" Ye Xiao watched Qingwang speak slowly, and the eighth brother on the stage was the first to react, "It's him, it's the second brother, I'll just say how it seems like I've seen it somewhere, it turns out to be the second brother"

Qing Yi looked at Ye Xiao who was still immersed in her own world, and all the pictures flashed in her mind from the moment she met Ye Xiao. Until one day he disappeared silently, everyone thought that Ye Xiao had encountered an accident, and they never thought that they would be able to see each other again. Qing Yi smiled, laughing and laughing, tears flowed down unconsciously, how many years, the person who was haunted by her finally appeared in front of her again.

Ye Xiao came to the stage one by one, and everyone in the audience had not yet reacted, what was going on, our Qingwang was actually this person's eldest sister, and they were also stunned.

Ye Xiao silently watched Qingyi cry into tears, just like when she met Ye Xiao, Ye Xiao didn't know what to say, and reached out and slowly wiped the tears from the corners of Qingyi's eyes. The next few people all happily shouted "second brother, second brother", except for the third brother with a confused face. At this time, the eighth brother explained that when the third brother joined, the second brother was gone, and everyone thought that Ye Xiao was no longer alive, and it was normal not to know Ye Xiao's existence. No wonder Ye Xiao said that it was an old man just now, but it turned out to be true, and he realized that he had made a misunderstanding, which made him full of embarrassment.
