Chapter 51: The Past

Ah Ghost came to the river with the fish basket on his back, put down the fish basket, Ah Ghost put the fishing net as before, and then sat by the river and waited quietly.

At the same time, Xiao Xi took Xiao Ming to Huaiyang City, and Xiao Ming said, "Sister, can you see Brother Ah Shui this time?"

"No, I'm sure I'll see it this time"

Soon the two came to a mansion, the mansion is very large, the gate is also dozens of zhang high, and there is a plaque hanging above the gate, on which are written the four big characters of "Passing Water Martial Academy". Xiao Xi took Xiao Ming and sat down in an open space at the gate. Both of them looked deeply inside the door. Maybe it's still early, and there are only a few people at the gate at this time.

The Passing Water Martial Academy is the largest cultivation holy place in Huaiyang City, and it is also the strongest holy place in the entire Cangzhou, it is different from the ten major sects, as long as there is talent here, anyone can enroll, and the entire academy is not divided by age, but by the level of cultivation. Each realm is divided into a class, and as long as you keep up with your cultivation, you can move on to the next class. There are a total of eight classes in the whole academy, corresponding to the eight realms of the Heavenly Pole Continent. This place in Cangzhou is very special, because he does not have any guards stationed in the sect, only a Passing Water Martial Academy and some family forces. It is said that the founder of the Passing Water Martial Academy was a very powerful figure, and he once patronized all the major sects with the power of one person, and made an oath with each sect: Cangzhou is not allowed to establish a faction. No one knows how strong he is, only that he has never given up in his life.

Ah Ghost sat quietly by the river, looking into the river. Slowly the fish swam to the shallow water, and a smile slowly appeared on the ghost's face. Seeing more and more fish, Ah Ghost smiled more and more, as if all these fish were in his bag. A ghost slowly stood up, suddenly the fish seemed to have found something, and swam quickly to the depths, a ghost shouted "don't run" in a hurry, and the next second, all the fish were not moving in the water, as if they were forcibly fixed in place by some force. No matter how you swim, you can't swim. Ah Ghost hurriedly picked up the fish basket and jumped down the river. As soon as the ghost stretched out his hand, he caught the fish that has been very big, it is estimated that it weighs three or four catties, and the ghost is very happy, and the ghost specially finds a big fish to put in the fish basket, and soon the fish basket is full. Ah Ghost took the fish basket ashore, and suddenly a feeling of tiredness hit, as if it was overexertion, Ah Ghost hurriedly sat down, reached out and wiped the thing on his face that I don't know if it was water or sweat. Ghost looked back at the river and found that there was no fish at this time, so Ghost looked back at the basket full of fish. A look of confusion. What Ghost never knew was that he had used his divine sense in an emergency just now to freeze the fish. will have this harvest.

Ah Ghost hurriedly picked up the fish basket and stumbled home, and when he arrived at home, Ah Ghost's face was a little pale, but Ah Ghost still tried to find a big wooden bucket and put all the fish in it, and then filled the bucket with water. Looking at the nearly 100 live fish in the barrel, Ah Gui's face also showed a look of satisfaction.

With a "poof", Ah Ghost suddenly fell directly to the ground and fainted. Grandpa came out of the house and said, "Ah, is that you?" but there was no response at all. Grandpa called for a long time and found that there was no humanity, "This child, where did you run again", and then turned around and went into the house.

At the gate of the Passing Water Martial Academy, Xiao Xi and Xiao Ming were still waiting quietly, and there were people coming in and out of the door, but no one paid attention to the shabby brother and sister. What Xiao Xi didn't know was that in a room in the martial arts courtyard at this time, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy was looking at Xiao Xi, and after a long time, the little boy turned around and left the room, but he didn't leave the martial arts courtyard but walked in the opposite direction, as if he was hiding from something.

The sky gradually darkened, Ah Ghost slowly opened his eyes, and found himself lying on the ground, Ah Ghost slowly sat up, patted the dust on his body and said, "What's wrong with me? I'm lying on the ground" Then Ah Ghost gently pushed open the door and saw that Xiao Xi hadn't come back yet, only Grandpa was alone in the house, and said, "Grandpa, Xiao Xi hasn't come back yet" Grandpa heard the voice of Ah Ghost and said, "It's Ah Ghost, why did you come back so late today?"

"Oh, something was delayed today, so I'm coming back late, grandpa, hasn't Xiaoxi come back yet?"

"yes, kid, I think I'm going to be late today."

"Where did Xiaoxi go?"

"Hey," Grandpa sighed softly.

"What's wrong?

"That's it, I have to start saying it several years ago, Xiaoxi and Ah Shui grew up together, and the relationship between the two has always been very good"

"Who is Ah Shui?" interrupted Ah Ghost.

"Oh, Ah Shui is the child next door, called Long Yishui,"

"But there seems to be no one in the house next door, I see that the house is empty."

"That's when they moved to the city."

"Why"

"Listen to me, six years ago, Xiao Xi and Ah Shui went to take the entrance exam of the Passing Water Martial Arts Academy together, and both of them were admitted to the Martial Arts Academy, but there are unforeseen circumstances, and people have good fortune and misfortune, just when Xiao Xi thought that he could start to change his fate, fate played a joke with Xiao Xi. At that time, the family was poor, and Xiaoxi's father went to sea to fish in order to prepare enough tuition for Xiaoxi. As a result, I encountered a storm and was buried in the sea, my eyes were also blind at that time, Xiaoxi's mother went into the city to work as a helper in order to support the whole family, Xiaoxi chose to leave the martial arts courtyard in order to take care of my old monk and young brother, and returned home. The old man unconsciously shed tears as he spoke. But this is not the worst situation, the saddest thing is that Ah Shui's attitude towards Xiaoxi has changed a lot after entering the city for a few years, and he often came back to visit Xiaoxi at the beginning, but then he slowly never came again. Xiao Xi doesn't understand the world, thinking that Ah Shui is just too busy, so on this day of the month, he has to go to the Shui Martial Arts Academy to visit Ah Shui, because the martial arts academy is resting on this day, but since last year, Xiao Xi has been disappointed every time he goes to see Ah Shui, because Ah Shui has never come out to see Xiao Xi again. But Xiaoxi has to go every time, and she doesn't listen to other people's persuasion. Although I am blind in my eyes, my heart is not blind," the old man sighed again.

"Then why didn't Ah Shui see Xiaoxi?"

"The current Ah Shui is no longer the Ah Shui of the past, you will understand in the future" The old man left gloomily after speaking.

Ghost looked at the sky that was about to darken, then turned and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Xiao Xi took Xiao Ming at the door and waited from dawn to dark, but still didn't wait for the person to meet, Xiao Xi looked at the door in front of him stupidly, at this time, Xiao Ming touched the cooing pocket and said, "Sister, Brother Ah Shui won't come, let's go back, I'm so hungry" Xiao Xi looked at Xiao Ming and said, "Let's wait a while, maybe he will come out"

The sky gradually darkened, and after Ah Ghost made dinner, he found that Xiaoxi had not come back yet, and said, "Grandpa, how to go into the city" The old man said slowly, "What's the matter, what are you asking for?" "Xiaoxi hasn't come back yet, I'll go see what's going on" "Child, what time is it" "Well, it's almost time" "It's so late, I guess I've just come back, it's okay for you to go and see, you can turn left along the path in front of you, and then follow the road all the way"

"Well, okay, grandpa is ready for the evening, why don't you eat it first?"

"It's okay, you go, I'll wait for you to come back and eat together"

"Well, the ghost picked up a lighted log and set off.

At this time, it was already dark, Xiao Ming said, "Sister, let's go, it's dark" Xiao Xi came back to his senses and looked around, "Ah, it's dark, then let's go" After speaking, he pulled Xiao Ming to the way back, at this time it was already dark, and there was still a glimmer of light in the city, but after leaving the city, it was pitch black, and he was a little scared when he walked on the uninhabited path, Xiao Ming grabbed Xiao Xi's hand tightly, and Xiao Xi also had a trace of fear in his heart at this time. So he quickened his pace, and suddenly Xiao Xi was careless, kicked on a stone, fell on his head, and was in pain for a while, and fell directly to the ground without getting up, just moaning softly and groaning.

"Sister, sister, what's wrong with you" Xiao Ming's voice trembled a little. After a long time, Xiao Xi responded weakly: "Xiao Ming, I'm here, come and help me,"

"Sister, what's wrong with you"

"It's okay, I just fell a little, I guess it will be fine in a while"

"Where did you fall, let me see" Xiao Ming finished speaking and went over to help Xiao Xi and said, and then Xiao Ming touched a sticky liquid, Xiao Ming took it in front of his nose and smelled it, a faint fishy smell. "Sister, you're bleeding" Xiao Ming's voice began to tremble even more, and soon Xiao Ming cried "Sister, what should we do now". Xiao Xi hurriedly comforted, "Xiao Ming, don't cry, just scratch a little skin, it's okay, come over and help my sister to move forward" Xiao Ming hurriedly went over to help Xiao Xi walk forward slowly.

Xiao Xi leaned half of his body on Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming struggled, and couldn't walk after walking a few steps with difficulty, "Sister, I can't walk, I am pressed on me, I am so tired of walking" Xiao Xi let go of Xiao Ming, sat on the ground and said, "That's it, Xiao Ming, you go back first and call Ah Ghost, I'm waiting for you here" Xiao Ming looked at the dark surroundings and said, "Sister, it's so dark here, how can I leave you here alone"

"It's okay, you go"

"No, I can't go"

Just as the two of them were hesitating, a torch appeared in front of them. Xiao Ming hurriedly squatted down and hugged Xiao Xi and said, "Sister, could that be a ghost fire?"

"What are you thinking, how can there be ghosts," Xiao Xi comforted with a little weakness. Soon the torch approached the sister and brother, and Ah Ghost looked at the two sitting on the ground and said, "What's wrong with you?"

A familiar voice came, Xiao Xi heard the voice of a ghost, and hurriedly said happily, "A ghost, why are you" Xiao Ming also quickly opened his eyes and said, "Brother ghost, why are you here?"

"I see that you are so far away from coming back, I will come to see, what's wrong with you"

"My sister just fell, she broke it, and she couldn't walk," Xiao Ming hurriedly said.

Ah Ghost put down the torch, squatted down and looked at Xiao Xi's legs, and found that a large piece of skin was broken, and blood kept flowing, Ah Ghost looked left and right, and finally tore off the clothes and gently bandaged Xiao Xi's wound, and then turned around and said: "Come, I'll carry you back" Xiao Xi said with some embarrassment, "This is not good" "Can you still walk now?"

Ah Ghost felt a soft feeling on his body, came back to his senses, stood up, and said, "Xiao Ming, you take the torch and go home" Xiao Xi lay on Ah Ghost's back, feeling that Ah Ghost's back is actually very wide and comfortable. A feeling that I had never felt before.

Along the way, Ah Ghost didn't ask Xiao Xi anything, but just said his own things today, and an hour later, Ah Ghost carried Xiao Xi back home. After putting down Xiaoxi, Ah Ghost said, "You wait first, I'll go get you some water to wash, and we'll have dinner."

Soon Ah Ghost brought water to Xiao Xi to clean it briefly, and then brought the food up from the pot, and saw that there was a fish in the sudden, Xiao Xi said distressedly, "Ah Ghost, why are you cooking fish again?"

"It's okay, I caught a lot of them today"

"No matter how much you can't waste like this," Xiao Xi continued to feel distressed.

Xiao Ming looked at the fish and said, "Brother Ghost, why is your fish burned whole, it's different from what my sister does, can the fish be fully cooked in this way?"

"Just try it, I'll call grandpa out for dinner," said Ah Ghost and left.

Xiao Ming gently sandwiched a piece of fish and said, "Sister, this tastes so good, I have never eaten such a delicious fish, come sister, you can taste it" Xiao Xi also took a bite, and then nodded lightly. At this time, Ah Ghost helped his grandfather out.

After grandpa sat down, Ah Ghost went to help grandpa cook, Xiao Ming hurriedly said, "Grandpa, you come to taste this fish, it tastes great" Grandpa took the rice handed by Ah Ghost, and ate a bite of Xiao Ming's fish "Hey, this taste" At this time, Ah Ghost served Xiao Xi a bowl of rice, and grandpa said, "Ah Ghost, this fish is made by you"

"Well, yes, what's wrong, isn't it delicious?"

"No, it's not delicious, it's too delicious, ghost, do you remember where you went?"

"No, what's wrong"

"It's okay, let's eat, I haven't eaten anything delicious in a long time"

At the dinner table, Grandpa and Xiao Ming kept praising Ah Ghost's dishes for how well they cooked, and Xiao Xi also looked at Ah Ghost carefully several times, but every time Ah Ghost just smiled stupidly.
