In the dead of night.

Outside the city, inside an old thatched hut.

Li Yunxiang was quietly reading in front of the shabby square table by dim candlelight.

She was in a well-placed posture and focused, as if she had been completely immersed in the world of the book.

Xu Xinying, who was sleeping on the small bed next to her, turned over with some discomfort.

After perceiving the dim candlelight in the room, she opened her eyes in a daze: "Xiangxiang, why haven't you slept yet?" ”

"Well, I'm reading a book." Li Yunxiang replied without looking back.

"What book?"

"Lin's incense spectrum."

"Huh? You've read this broken book five times! ”

"Six times."

"Uh, you're starting to start from scratch again tonight?"

Xu Xinying sat up with some distress and wrapped a thin quilt around her body, "Aren't you cold?" ”

"I'll take the warm stones you made." Li Yunxiang raised her head and covered her chest.

"You've been using that stone for two days, so it's not hot for a long time, right?"

"Well, there's still some warmth."

"That's not enough." Xu Xinying turned over and got out of bed, looked back at the clothes and bedding on the single bed, and finally chose to pick up a quilt, walked quickly to the bookcase, and wrapped it around Li Yunxiang.

Li Yunxiang sat up straight, looked back at her helplessly, and finally didn't say anything.

"I've rested enough today, and I can continue to make warm stones tomorrow." Xu Xinying returned to the bed and wrapped herself in the quilt again.

"Hmm." Li Yunxiang nodded and responded softly, "I'll go sell desserts tomorrow." ”

"Still going? In this weather, if you stand all day, there may not be a single guest. ”

"Hmm...... The Shangyuan Festival is coming, and the water group should sell better. ”

"Xiangxiang, you ......" Xu Xinying knew that she couldn't convince her, so she could only sigh helplessly, "Then I'll make another warm stone for you tomorrow morning." ”

"Okay." Li Yunxiang smiled lightly and agreed, "Thank you, Xiaoying." ”

"It's time to sleep, lamp oil is cheap, and it can't be too wasteful."

"Well, wait until I'm done with this...... Next. ”

Outside.

The cold wind howled.

Snowflakes crept up in the sky again.

……

……

Bamboo huts in the mountains.

Lu Yiyuan sat on the steps in front of the gate, looking up at the snowflakes falling from the dark night sky.

'This must be close to the poles, and it snows too often. ’

He muttered silently and threw a preserved peach into his mouth.

…… This is the one he bought from the barefoot girl last night.

The desserts he bought at noon today, although the taste could not be said to be unpalatable, was still much worse than the ones he bought last night.

This is the evaluation he and Shen Suzhi jointly gave.

However, I have too much sweets, and I start to want to eat some salty and spicy foods again!

'Potato chips, fried chicken, skewers...... Uh, wait, it seems like I can do all of this myself? ’

Lu Yiyuan reacted, hurriedly took out a pen and paper from the space bag, and recorded all the food in words like a dog.

After recording, he put the brush between his nose and upper lip and started to daz.

At a certain moment, Shen Suzhi suddenly poked out from the bedroom door.

Lu Yiyuan noticed something, took off the brush on his mouth, and looked back at her: "Do you want to go to Xiaojie?" Then I'll go to the next hill and take shelter. ”

"You ......" Shen Suzhi retracted his head, ashamed and annoyed, "Can you not be so direct?" ”

"Heh, who told you to destroy the barrel during the day, and now blame me directly?" Lu Yiyuan chuckled.

"You—Did you see it all?" Shen Suzhi was a little frightened.

"No, I just happened to notice you running away and was a little worried about your safety, so I paid a little attention to you; Unexpectedly, you were holding a wooden barrel at the time......"

"Alright, don't talk about it!"

"Hmm......" Lu Yiyuan was silent for a moment and stood up, "Okay, I'll go out for a walk, you feel free." ”

With that, he flew straight to the distant mountain.

Shen Suzhi wore the tawny cotton robe, walked out of the bamboo house, looked up at the night sky, and felt angry and helpless.

Alas, that's it, anyway, she has completely lost her image in front of the other party, so there is no need to dwell too much.

……

About half an hour later, Lu Yiyuan returned to the steps in front of the gate of the bamboo house and sat down again.

He threw a preserved peach into his mouth, turned around and asked, "Is it solved?" ”

Shen Suzhi was silent.

Lu Yiyuan smiled and didn't ask any more questions.

He turned his head to stare at the night sky and sat still.

After a long time, he suddenly remembered something, and immediately turned out two communication jade talismans from the spatial bag.

One of the two communication jade talismans came from the older girl; The other piece was confiscated by him from Shen Suzhi.

He felt that it was almost time to return the things that belonged to Shen Suzhi to her.

However, before that......

'My communication jade talisman seems to be a backup, and I can only contact the relatively calm little girl at present, so ...... Well, let's secretly add a friend first. ’

Lu Yiyuan rummaged in his mind, about the operation of the communication jade talisman and adding friends, and then sank his mind into his own piece of the communication jade talisman, driving Zhen Yuan, and linking it with Shen Suzhi's communication jade talisman.

After three breaths, he put away his communication jade talisman, got up and walked into the bamboo house, and knocked on the bedroom door.

"What?" Shen Suzhi's voice was a little indifferent.

"Give you something back." Lu Yiyuan responded warmly.

There was silence in the bedroom.

After a few moments, Shen Suzhi walked to the door and opened it.

Lu Yiyuan directly handed over her sect token, as well as the communication jade talisman.

Shen Suzhi glanced at him silently and reached out to take it.

"Would you like to help you contact your junior sister?" Lu Yiyuan asked.

There are two options for transmitting the jade talisman and transmitting the text, and both of them need the true qi and true yuan of the immortal cultivator to drive.

Obviously, if it's just a text, you don't need the other party to do it.

Of course, the people inside Shen Suzhi's sect must have a way to verify the authenticity of the news.

Shen Suzhi was silent for a long time and shook his head: "No need. ”

"Okay, then you can get some rest." Lu Yiyuan smiled and turned around and walked outside.

As soon as he reached the door, he stopped again, turned back and asked, "How long will it take for you to lift the ban?" ”

Shen Suzhi thought for a moment and replied, "Eight hours." ”

'Eight hours...... Sixteen hours...... It's about eleven o'clock in the evening......

Lu Yiyuan calculated in his heart, and asked with a smile: "In other words, you are leaving tomorrow evening?" ”

"Hmm." Shen Suzhi responded softly.

"That's a good thing." Lu Yiyuan nodded and walked out of the bamboo house.

Shen Suzhi took one last look at him, closed the door, and leaned quietly against the door.

In fact......

She lied.

She was only one point away from breaking the ban.

After a maximum of an hour and a half, she will be able to regain her cultivation.

It's rare to be an ordinary person again, so let's be a little longer. ’

She said silently in her heart.
