Xunxian County is shrouded in torrential rain.

……

Sycamores and old willows were all destroyed, and the fallen leaves rolled down all the way, muddy or bluestone slabs, all of which were sympathetic.

Xunxian County 12th Street, on the way from Yulong Street to North Street.

Under the canopy on the side of the road, a noodle stall, the warm water vapor is diffused, and there is a well-behaved little girl waiting with her head in one hand.

"Brother!"

Chu Li'er saw from a distance a young man with an oil-paper umbrella and a delicate face approaching in the rain.

When the young man approached, Chu Li'er didn't care whether he was wet with rain or not, and immediately pounced on him directly, like a sloth hanging on a tree, refusing to come down.

"Okay, okay, how old are you, and you're not shy."

The young man who came from the rain with an oil-paper umbrella was Chu Xiu, and after coming out of the inn, he went straight to the noodle stall to pick up Chu Li'er.

Chu Xiu restrained the coldness when he was thinking, smiled and patted Xin'er's little head:

"Let's go, brother will take you to a new house tonight!"

But when he walked to Yulong Street, Chu Xiu suddenly found that although he said that he was going to move, the original home seemed to have nothing to move.

After careful calculation, the most valuable thing for their family should be this piece of land on Yulong Street, but unfortunately they can't take it away.

So much so that Chu Xiu just took a few changes of clothes and finished the matter On the side of the Qinglong Gang on North Street, Zhou Jiyu arranged everything, and Chu Xiu took Chu Li to move in directly.

The courtyard is not far from the Qinglong Gang station on North Street, although it is not full of three entrances, but there are four combinations, and there are a few plantains and laurel trees in the rain in the court.

Chu Li'er, who grew up in Yulong Street since she was a child, has been living in a slum-like environment, and she can't stop being happy to live in such a "luxurious" place, even if her brother told her that she would only stay for one night, her big eyes were as narrow as crescent moons.

arranged for Chu Li'er to rest, and Chu Xiu returned to his room and took out the "Immortal Demon Codex", although his current sword skills can be comparable to some slightly weaker acquired masters, but he first practiced the internal strength and heart method, and when the time came, he would go to Changning Mansion and have an extra hole card for self-preservation.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Li'er walked in timidly.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Li'er walk in, Chu Xiu put away the "Immortal Demon Codex".

"It's thundering, I'm scared to stay in the room by myself, brother, can I sleep with you?"

Li'er looked at Su Xin with big eyes, and there seemed to be tears rolling in her eyes

Chu Xiu raised his head and looked out of the window from the bed, the rain crackled on the plantains, and sure enough, there was thunder roaring, and a lightning bolt fell from time to time, illuminating the room white.

"Okay, but don't wet the bed and pee on me when you sleep."

Retracting his gaze, Chu Xiu said with a smile.

It is normal for a little girl to be afraid of thunder, not to mention that in the past, Su Xin's house only had a dilapidated house that leaked rain on rainy days, and there was only one bed, and Li'er had always slept with Chu Xiu.

Coupled with the sudden separation of sleep, the little girl has no sense of security, and it is indeed very unaccustomed to staying in a room by herself.

"Brother, you hate it!"

Chu Li'er's white and tender little face suddenly turned red.

Her mother died when she was very young, so Chu Xiu has always taken care of Chu Li'er, as long as Chu Li'er is disobedient, Chu Xiu will talk about her bedwetting when she was a child.

"I'm sleeping, I'm ignoring you!"

Getting into the warm quilt, Chu Li'er didn't speak, and soon fell asleep.

……

At night, a candle flame fluttered in the house.

Chu Xiu was awake alone, his eyes were bright, looking at the "Immortal Demon Codex", there was a faint flow of qi in the dantian, although it was weak, but it was better than nothing.
