Ten miles on the outskirts of Liucheng, broken temple.

And Xiu got up early in the morning today, and when he opened his eyes, there was no light in the sky, but even so he didn't feel tired, and stood by the window and stretched.

However, after half a month's effort, his body has grown into the appearance of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, and he has gradually recovered his memory, except for the memory of the time when he was attacked, he has basically remembered everything.

After recovering his memory, he began to re-cultivate to heal his injuries, and with the pill given by Chao Huan, the injuries on his body had healed, and within a few days, he would be able to recover to his original body.

The other children were very curious about his strange appearance, and they gathered around and chattered, discussing how to grow up so quickly, and Xiu couldn't get past it, and after obtaining Chaohuan's consent, they cast a spell on the children to modify their memories.

He was very careful, trying not to hurt their other memories, After the children were modified their memories, they only thought that he had always been such a big boy, but he still liked to pull him to play with the family and the like, and the recovery of his memory and Xiu still had some pavilion masters at the beginning, but then the children asked for no choice, so they could only be a bad guy and a father.

Well, you ask who your mother is, of course it's Sister Zhu Shu, who is gentle and kind in their hearts.

Chao Huan smiled at this and said nothing, but in the face of the children's "filial piety", he accepted it correctly, and occasionally took and repaired it to make jokes.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiu's face couldn't help but bring a smile, he stretched his muscles, pushed open the door and prepared to make breakfast.

After he started practicing, he didn't need to fall asleep or anything like that, on the contrary, children often liked to be lazy and couldn't get up, so he volunteered to make breakfast.

After he made a simple breakfast, the sun had risen, and the warm sunlight shone in the yard, and Xiu called people out to eat one by one, and the children were quite conscious, and they rubbed their eyes and got out of bed without a few sounds.

When he walked to the top ten of Chaohuan's room, he first knocked on the door, but there was no movement, and then knocked twice, and shouted: "Sister Shu, are you awake?" ”

He screamed a few times, and after a while, there was finally movement in the room, and the sound of squirming and dressing made the ears and eyes smart and Xiu involuntarily blush, but he quickly calmed down, with an indifferent look on his face.

After a while, someone opened the door, and Chao Huan, who was wearing loose hair, glanced at him, and said lazily: "Let's repair, it's early." ”

"Early."

Ji Xiu looked at the other party's face that was only two or three years older than him, remembered his original age, and thought of calling "Sister Shu" again just now, and couldn't help but speed up his heartbeat a few times, but he noticed that the other party didn't seem to care about this, and slowly calmed down.

Since the previous plan, the relationship between the two has been a little wonderful, Zhu Shu still treats him as before, but he often doesn't know how to treat Zhu Shu, he subconsciously feels that this person is not simple, but she seems too honest, making it difficult for him to have more doubts.

But these troubles, Chao Huan doesn't have them, regardless of the specific age, it has become a habit for her to be called "Sister Shu" by a group of little children, and the current Ji Xiu does look younger, it doesn't matter if she is called "sister", she said hello to and Xiu, smelled the smell of breakfast in the air, and couldn't help but smile.

"Let's go, let's eat."

"Oh."

The two walked to the table, the children had already woken up from their sleep, and they were ready to eat one by one, and they didn't need to greet them when Chaohuan came, they ate the food one by one.

Chao Huan didn't like greasy, so he served porridge and steamed eggs to eat, although the place where they lived was not much, but they didn't lack anything in terms of food, at least they should have it.

After eating, the children consciously cleaned up, and were about to go back to the room to continue practicing, when they heard Chao Huan stop him.

Chao Huan took a sip of tea and said, "When your body returns to its original state, it's time for us to go." ”

"We?" And Xiu was stunned for a moment, "What about the children?" ”

Chao Huan glanced at him, as if he was a little puzzled: "Of course I stayed here." ”

This is Chao Huan has decided a long time ago, and at the beginning, she found these puppets just to help her disguise her identity, but now if she wants to go to Liucheng, it is inconvenient to bring her children, so she has to stay here.

However, the statement of Ji Xiu is to stay here, but for Chao Huan, it is just to let the day sky recover these puppets.

Daylight is right, they are just puppets, but that's fine, at least they won't die and grow old as easily as mortals.

But Xiu only thought that he was leaving the children here.

He was silent for a moment before he said slowly: "Then, who will take care of them in the future." ”

Click, Chao Huan put the teacup on the table, and made a soft sound, she glanced at He Xiu, and a trace of complicated emotions quickly flashed in her eyes.

"Regarding this, I will send them to the right village to survive, you know, they are mortal, they can't be like this all the time, they also need to communicate with more people."

When Ji Xiu heard this, he didn't say anything, just nodded and went back to his room.

Chao Huan lowered her eyes and looked at the tea in the teacup in her hand, until a call called to regain her senses.

"Sister Shu." Erya called out to her, as if wondering why she was sitting here in a daze.

"Sister Shu, are you uncomfortable?" Erya asked worriedly, she looked at Chao Huan's face, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that her complexion was not very good, and hurriedly said: "Sister Shu, if you are tired, just rest for a while, I will take them to finish the work." ”

Chao Huan was stunned, she touched her face, but in the end she didn't say anything, praised Erya for being obedient and sensible, and praised the child embarrassed.

After a few more days, and Xiu's body was almost back to its original state, he opened his storage ring and took out the clothes he was wearing.

When he was the pavilion master of Fuyue Pavilion, he was basically wearing dark and heavy clothes, and when he changed into these clothes that represented his noble status, and Xiu's whole temperament became different, his eyes fell on Chao Huan, with some mocking smiles.

At that moment, Chao Huan was briefly shaken, and she wondered if He Xiu really made an agreement with her, whether it was a calculation that she wanted to benefit from her.

But after a while, he removed his disguise, looked at the clothes on his body and sighed slightly, "I still have to go back after all." ”

Chao Huan's tense body relaxed a little, and she pursed her pink lips to suppress the doubt in her heart.

"What's wrong?" And Xiu felt a moment of killing intent, but that killing intent came and went quickly, which made him doubt his feelings a little, he noticed that Chao Huan's face was a little pale, and he couldn't help but worry.

Since a few days ago, Chao Huan's expression has not been very good, and the children also said that Chao Huan is often distracted, and she only hears it when she calls her several times every time.

Chao Huan shook his head, reluctant to say more, seeing that he was almost ready, he said, "Let's leave when we're ready." ”

"Don't you say goodbye to the kids?"

"No, I'll give them a spell to erase their memory, and they won't remember us in the future."

And Xiu was stunned, he didn't expect Chao Huan to do this, these days he knew that Chao Huan and the children had a deep relationship, but now he even said that if he eliminated his memory, he would eliminate his memory.

He suddenly felt that Zhu Shu in front of him was a little unfamiliar, and even his heart was a little bitter, "You, aren't you a little reluctant?" ”

"Let's fix it." Chao Huan said coldly, "Who do you think you are going to face, you think that if He Yuan knew that you had a relationship with these children, he would do it." ”

Of course, he grabbed the children to blackmail him, or he brutally killed them in revenge.

And Xiu stiffened, he nodded slowly, not saying more.

It's because he's been living too comfortably these days, forgetting his identity, and forgetting Heyuan's methods, yes, he's just a doppelganger, and even his own fate is still in the hands of others.

Ji Xiu looked at Chao Huan and made up his mind that if this plan could succeed, he would definitely protect everything around him and definitely not lose them.

The two left directly as Chao Huan arranged, without even saying goodbye, and when they flew away, and Xiu also glanced back, he saw a flower and a grass in the yard, and finally took a deep look, and then turned his head.

After they left, another person suddenly appeared in the courtyard, he was dressed in red, and the children stood in front of him with dull and motionless eyes, and with a wave of his hand, several children turned into a ray of light and fell into his hands, turning into exquisite dolls.

The dolls were no longer than the length of an adult man's fingers, and he put them in his sleeve, looking at the empty courtyard, he shook his head, and finally threw out an enchantment.

As soon as the barrier came out, the courtyard was shrouded in it, and no one else could find that there was such a building here, and everything in the courtyard was preserved intact.

After he had done all this, he was just about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something, and took out the doll in his sleeve.

"Well, one, two, three..." In fact, there is no need to count so carefully, the dolls in his hands come and go only in single digits, and the number can be seen at a glance, and after a while, he chuckled, "Four." ”

His gaze swept across the courtyard, and in vain, he shook his head, no longer dwelling on it, and left with a wave of his sleeve.

At this time, the willow city, under the peach blossom tree.

Although most people have regarded this peach blossom tree as nothing, there are still a small number of people who firmly believe that the peach blossom tree guards the willow city, so they will come here every day to worship, they devoutly offer tribute to the peach blossom tree, kneel down under the peach blossom tree and pray sincerely.

Zhang Lao is also one of them, he is fifty and three this year, the family is harmonious, life is smooth, almost no troubles, his only obsession is to come to the peach blossom tree every day to worship for an hour, day by day, year after year.

Although the family didn't understand the significance of his move, and even persuaded him not to waste time and energy, Zhang Lao didn't feel it, and repeatedly rejected his daughter-in-law's kindness and insisted on coming here.

But Zhang Lao is like this, but he has an inside story.

Thirty years ago, Zhang's wife was seriously ill, but Zhang Lao had no money to treat his wife, he begged several hospitals, but they couldn't be treated, and he was rejected because he couldn't afford expensive medicine.

Full of despair, Zhang Lao passed by the peach blossom tree, he was at the lowest point of his life at this time, looking at the tall peach blossom tree, he thought about picking a branch and going back to show his seriously ill wife. But the peach blossom tree is very tall, he has not eaten and slept well for several days, his hands and feet are weak, and when he climbed halfway, he actually fell, and he thought that he would be crippled if he did not die, but he was caught by something.

Zhang Lao was put on the ground by that thing, and when he opened his eyes in disbelief, he only saw a brilliant peach blossom branch in front of him, and he returned home with the peach blossom branch, and his wife was getting better day by day.

Since then, Zhang Lao has often come here, and he believes that it is this peach blossom tree that saved him and his wife, but unfortunately after so many years, he has never been able to see the peach blossom tree manifest again.

Today, Zhang Lao finished today's prayer and was about to leave, but he had just walked two steps, and when he turned his head, he saw that the fruit he had placed under the tree was gone.

When I looked at it again, it turned out to be an eleven or twelve-year-old child, who was holding those fruits and eating, and when he saw Zhang Lao looking over, he showed a smile.
