Chapter 45 - Borrowing the Sword
On the way back, I occasionally met some people who got up earlier, driving on the road, or driving the ploughing oxen to plough the land, or holding tools to the field, or like Xiao Yi, running and exercising on the road.
Unlike Xiao Yi, they don't seem as tired as Xiao Yi, maybe because they have been exercising for a long time, or their own strength is stronger than Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi didn't know them, and they naturally didn't know Xiao Yi either, when they saw Xiao Yi, they only glanced at Xiao Yi with that kind of unfamiliar eyes before turning their heads and leaving, after all, no one intended to talk to a stranger.
Look, they ignore themselves, Xiao Yi doesn't need to pay attention to them, Xiao Yi knows that he just came to this 'Yangliu Village', perhaps, after seeing him, those people will definitely think in their hearts: "Who is this person? Why haven't I seen it, it doesn't seem to be from this village." ”
For strangers, no one wants to pay attention, if you are lucky, maybe others will smile on the surface and agree a few times, if you are unlucky, you may be scolded, therefore, you don't need to pay attention to them at all, besides, you will only stay in 'Yangliu Village' for a few days at most, and it doesn't hurt if you don't know them.
Xiao Yi is like this every time he sees someone, but the most surprising thing is that whether he sees a child, a middle-aged person or an elderly person, he is smiling, giving the other party a good feeling of warmth, of course, for some guys who don't care about people, they will only say that this guy's brain is in the water, seeing what he is laughing at for no reason, he wants to go and beat him, and he is afraid that his strength is not as good as him and he will be defeated, the toad wants to eat swan meat, but in turn is trampled under the feet of the swan. They don't want to do that kind of humiliating thing, therefore. Because the impulsive and foolish decision stops, they don't know what to do, and this brings them much more good than bad.
ignored these people, so Xiao Yi didn't waste much time on the way back, and soon arrived at Wang Fei's house.
When you get to the gate. He found that the door was open, it seems. The uncles and aunts all got up, and when they left, they carefully closed the door.
As soon as I entered the gate, the courtyard was quiet, as if no one was there.
It doesn't matter if the aunt or uncle gets up or not. Go in first and put your clothes on. Therefore, Xiao Yi did not stop for the silence in the courtyard, and went directly to his room.
When he returned to his room, he found that everything in the room was as it was, and it seemed that no one had been here since he left.
He drank a glass of ice water, and the thirsty feeling in his throat slowly disappeared, and he washed the dust off his face and hands. I casually wore a dress that wasn't too thick, and after a while I was going for a run. There's no need to wear that thick.
"Xiao Yi, come in and have breakfast!" Liu Xue's voice came into Xiao Yi's ears.
Liu Xue's voice seemed very small, and the timbre was not as clear as when she said it herself, and he knew that this voice was transmitted by Liu Xue through the air, because of the interference of the air, the sound would inevitably lose some of its own properties during the transmission.
"Oh," Xiao Yi said to himself, and then, he pushed the door out, glanced towards the living room, and he knew that Aunt Liu was calling himself to eat breakfast, and he was in the living room, so he walked towards the living room.
Walking into the living room, he forgot to glance at the entire living room, and found that the entire living room was empty, only Liu Xue was sitting at the dining table on the ground.
Hearing that Xiao Yi was coming, Liu Xue looked over here and smiled, "Come and sit." ”
Xiao Yi walked over and sat opposite Liu Xue.
On the table, there are some very ordinary breakfasts, or yesterday's type, biscuits, fruits, etc.
"Auntie, where is my uncle?" After sitting down, Xiao Yi suddenly thought why he wasn't there, looked at Liu Xue, and asked.
"He's gone to make porridge. Liu Xue said.
"Oh, or else, I'll go and help!" Xiao Yi said, as he prepared to get up and leave.
"Sit down, we don't need to meddle in those little things. Liu Xue pressed Xiao Yi, who was about to get up, and persuaded.
"This ......" Xiao Yi's face changed slightly, he paused slightly, and agreed, indeed, what Liu Xue said was the truth, besides, if you really want to help, if you don't wait for yourself to intervene, I'm afraid Liu Xue will already help.
Then, his face returned to its previous calm.
"Where did you go early in the morning?" After seeing Xiao Yi's face return to calm, Liu Xue asked with a smile.
"I did a casual run outside. Xiao Yi replied.
However, he said extremely helplessly in his heart: "This Aunt Liu, she is simply knowingly asking, of course she went to practice, can she still travel?"
"Hehe, I got up so early, diligent, good, good. Liu Xue smiled and said, she thought she was the earliest, but today she found that someone got up earlier than her.
"Auntie praised it, didn't Auntie also get up early. Being praised by Liu Xue, Xiao Yi felt a little embarrassed and replied with a smile.
"Hehe, not early, not early. Liu Xue shook her head and said, scolding in her heart: "Early, can you get up later than you if it's early?"
Seeing Liu Xue's modest appearance, Xiao Yi was speechless, so he had to smile there, in front of others, even if he didn't give himself face, he had to give face to others, and he must not sink his face.
"Oh, by the way, how did you practice yesterday, are you tired?" Liu Xue thought for a while, a smile faded from her face, and asked with concern.
"The practice is very good, as for the tiredness, I was a little tired at the beginning, but after half a day of practice, it seems to be a matter of course, and I no longer feel so tired. Xiao Yi said, he was afraid that Liu Xue would continue to ask, and answered directly to the end, meaning that Liu Xue didn't ask again.
"Oh, that's good, it's good not to be tired, as long as you can persevere to the end, even if you lose, but you are also defeated, and you have the backbone of defeat. Liu Xue comforted.
To be honest, he wanted to ask Wang Fei what the situation was, judging from Xiao Yi's situation in the past two years, it is almost impossible to improve his strength, but everything is not absolute, therefore, she didn't care about it, she could only push the boat with the water, as for the things that can improve her strength, she knew that even if it was possible, it was more difficult than ascending to the sky.
"Well, thank you Auntie, I will. Xiao Yi nodded and replied, what Liu Xue said is the truth, even if he loses, he must lose his appearance, and he will not be defeated like a bear.
"Yesterday I tried your 'Blood Sword', it's a good weapon, you haven't used it lately, see if I can borrow it for a few more days. Liu Xue's eyes lit up, as if she had thought of something.
"Of course you can, Auntie can use it if she wants to, but I don't need it now, and it's just for nothing. Xiao Yi said, if you want to use weapons, just use them, and ask yourself if you agree, and you are not a stingy person.
However, then he thought that this may be an act of respecting the other party, no matter the level of status, he should respect the other party, and he should learn from Liu Xue, of course, he is weak, and it doesn't matter if others look down on him, let alone respect.
"Hehe, that's good, I'll only use two days, and I'll pay you back then. ”
"It's not a matter of a day or two, as long as I don't use it, my aunt can use it. Xiao Yi's brows moved slightly, this Aunt Liu, why is this so, knowing that she doesn't need it, she just uses it, and she can use it so politely.
"I'll see," Liu Xue replied casually, and looked towards the door.
The change in Liu Xue's gaze naturally attracted Xiao Yi's attention, and he also turned his head to look there.
When the two turned their eyes to the door, the curtain was pushed open, and then Wang Fei came in with a plate in both hands.
"Uncle is here, why didn't I feel it?" Seeing Wang Fei coming in, Xiao Yi couldn't help frowning, this Wang Fei, how can he do things so mysteriously, he didn't feel his breath was his own problem, but he didn't even hear the footsteps, this Wang Fei is really incomprehensible.
After frowning slightly, he came back to his senses and hurriedly got up to pick up the plate in Wang Fei's hand.
"No need, Xiao Yi, let your uncle come alone. At this time, Liu Xue stood up, grabbed Xiao Yi, looked at Wang Fei and smiled. There was inevitably some sinister smile in her smile.
"This ......" Xiao Yi said hesitantly, and before he could finish his sentence, he was pressed down by Liu Xue and sat down.
was pressed down by Liu Xue and sat down, Xiao Yi only shook his head helplessly, and at this time, Wang Fei had already put the plate on the dining table and smiled at himself and Liu Xue.
On Liu Xue's side, after seeing Wang Fei smiling at herself and Xiao Yi, the smile on her face became even stronger, but there was inevitably some schadenfreude in her smile at this time.
"Let's drink porridge quickly! we have important business to do. After Wang Fei put down a bowl of porridge in front of Xiao Yi and Liu Xue respectively, he smiled, and it seemed that he was not angry at Liu Xue's previous teasing.
Hearing this, several people glanced at each other, stopped talking, and hurriedly drank porridge. (To be continued......)
