Ran Xiangqin wanted to say something more, but just opened her mouth and chose to be silent.

After a while, he stepped forward to say goodbye to the fairy grandmother: "In this way, the younger generation will not bother, and I will go back to my life." ”

After speaking, Ran Xiangqin turned and walked towards the stone staircase leading to the bottom of the platform.

The fairy grandmother stopped her: "Child, you wait for a while. ”

Ran Xiangqin stopped, turned around and stood still.

Fairy Grandma turned her head to the side and looked at He Xuanya and said, "You go and bring two bottles of my newly concocted Seven Herbs and Seven Poultry Pills." ”

He Xuanya walked to the curved ruler-shaped long table at the corner of the rock wall on the right, and took out two small purple-red porcelain vases in a square carved out of the rock wall above the long table.

At the same time, the fairy grandmother said to Ran Xiangqin: "You take these two bottles of medicine back to Yuhua and take one pill every five days." Although it can't cure her illness, I hope it will give her more time to deal with the unfinished business. ”

After speaking, he looked at He Xuanya.

He Xuanya stepped forward and handed the medicine bottle to Ran Xiangqin.

Ran Xiangqin looked at He Xuanya and said, "There is Miss Lao." ”

He Xuanya also looked at Ran Xiangqin and smiled.

Looking at each other, both of them showed their admiration for each other, which was a small prelude to the touching cross-ethnic friendship between the two in the future. That's an afterword.

----------------------------------

After Ran Xiangqin left, the fairy grandmother began to cry bitterly again.

After crying for a while, she wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, looked at me and He Xuanya, and said slowly: "Do you think that my old wife is too ruthless, and her daughter is going to die, so you don't want to look at it?"

I didn't say anything, but He Xuanya said: "From the past you told me, I know that the Drought Realm has left the greatest grief and humiliation in your life, and you are unwilling to step into that secret forest again, and even reject anything related to that secret forest in your mind. The main reason is that you don't dare to watch your daughter ...... in front of you."

The fairy grandmother raised her hand, and He Xuanya stopped what she hadn't finished saying and was silent.

The fairy grandmother stood up and walked towards the stone steps leading to the ground, saying as she went, "You two should practice the trick that you taught you yesterday." I'm tired and want to go up and sleep for a while. ”

After going up two stairs, she turned around and said, "Xiaoya, don't sneak to the library cave again." Some of the books there are dangerous to you. ”

After He Xuanya agreed, the secret door above the stone steps sounded twice, and the alchemy platform was suddenly silent. That's because He Xuanya and I were trying to recall the tricks taught by Immortal Grandma yesterday.

"Isn't it too arbitrary for you to say that Master?" He Xuanya suddenly burst out with a sentence.

"Didn't you just say you understood her? I said.

"I'm not talking about her going to see Grandma Sailor. He Xuanya said.

I scratched my head and said, "And what are you talking about?"

He Xuanya moved closer to me and said, "She didn't mean to ask the sailors, and she refused the request of the drought man. Isn't that a bit arbitrary. ”

I said, "She is the grandmother of the sailors, and what she decides will not harm the sailors." ”

He Xuanya tilted her neck to look at me, and said contemptuously: "What's wrong with you today? I usually see that your brain turns quite fast, why is it half a beat slower today." ”

He Xuanya is right, since my father left, I do feel that I have been in a trance all day long, and my heart feels like something is missing and empty.

Seeing that I didn't speak for a long time, He Xuanya said, "Let's go find the sailor and ask him what he means." ”

"Huh?" I opened my mouth in surprise. Because the sailors still don't know that his grandmother is still alive, let alone that his grandmother is the monarch of the Drought Clan. He didn't even know there was a Dryfish. Asking the sailor will not only not give him results, but may scare him.

He Xuanya seemed to see my thoughts, and said with a smile: "What the sailor knows, he will know sooner or later, it is better to tell him his life experience now, and see if he is willing to go to the Drought Clan to be the prince." ”

"Prince?" I was amused.

He Xuanya said: "If he goes, he will definitely be the heir to the throne of the monarch in the future, isn't it equivalent to the ancient crown prince." ”

When I heard the word "monarch mother", I suddenly remembered one thing and said: "From ancient times to the present, the rulers of the Drought Tribes have been women, so they have the title of 'monarch mother', and there has never been a male king." ”

He Xuanya said: "That's because the Drought Tribes are all women, except for the sons-in-law of the past dynasties, there is no male king, and the sons-in-law are not from the Drought Tribe." Now that the Drought Clan has a male heir,—— at least Uncle Shi Wa and the sailors are both men—the title is naturally going to change. Now except for Uncle Shi Wa and the sailors, the Drought Tribe's no other heirs to the monarch's mother, it is impossible for Uncle Shi Wa to go, if the sailors don't go, the inheritance of the Drought Tribe's royal family will be cut off, and the Drought Tribe's will be in chaos at that time. The chaos of the Drought Tribes will also be a threat to our manifestations. In the future, if the sailors inherit the throne, they can be called the chairman and the president according to the name of my Wa royal family. ”

I said, "That's not good, the Drought Devil Clan is not a democratic system, how can it be called the chairman and the president, I think it will be called the Drought King." ”

He Xuanya chuckled.

"Before we skimmed the eight characters, we thought about things so far away. Let's hurry up and find the sailors. She said.

He Xuanya walked towards the entrance of the stone steps as she spoke, and I followed.

When He Xuanya and I tiptoed past the hall, the fairy grandmother spoke in the side room: "Why did you two come up so quickly, have you practiced the tricks?"

I stood still, holding my breath and not moving.

He Xuanya said loudly: "Xiao Yuan said that he couldn't do any questions about his summer homework, so let me tutor him." ”

The fairy grandmother said: "Xiaoya, you should finish your homework yourself." After you finish your homework today, come up early in the evening, I still have something to teach you tonight. ”

He Xuanya let out an "oh" and ran out of the door with a smoke, and I ran out with me.

In Daddy's shack, the sailor was reading a book alone.

Seeing me and He Xuanya, the sailor walked out of the shack and asked, "Why are you here?"

I said, "Come and see what you're doing." ”

The sailor said, "I borrowed a copy of "The Dwarf Breaks into the Dragon's Lair" from a classmate, and the book is so good. I hid here early in the morning and read it alone. I'll borrow you both when I'm done. ”

The three of us came to the earthen cliff by the terraces and sat side by side.

He Xuanya said: "Sailor, if there is another world outside of our world, and you are the heir of a certain kingdom in that world, what will you do?"

The sailor looked at He Xuanya curiously and said, "Do you mean Aragorn? Have you also read The Dwarf's Den in the Dragon's Lair?"

He Xuanya said: "What is not pulled." Didn't you say that you would borrow it from us when you finished reading it, how could I have read it? ”

The sailor let out an "oh" and pondered for a long time and said, "I will be like Aragorn, defeat the dark forces and restore the glory of the kingdom." ”

"Do you hear that? That's what a real king thinks. He Xuanya looked at me and smiled, a smug expression on her face.

The sailor looked at me and He Xuanya, and asked with a blank expression, "What are you talking about?" ”

I said, "Sailor, you have always been a little courageous. If we tell you something unbelievable, you won't be scared. ”

The sailor said, "It's daylight, and you're telling ghost stories, and I'm not afraid." ”

I said, "What we're going to tell you today is about your grandmother." ”

When the sailor heard this, he stood up suddenly, and his face turned pale.

He Xuanya pulled the sailor's arm and said, "Sailor, don't be nervous, sit down first." ”

The sailor slowly sat down among us again.

He Xuanya said to me again, "Don't scare the sailors. His grandmother's affair has always been a problem for him. Let's talk to him about the Secret II first. ”

The sailor ignored He Xuanya's words, blinked vigorously, put back the tears that had not yet flowed out of his eyes, and then looked at me with straight eyes and said: "Xiao Yuan, tell me, what is the matter? The matter of me killing my grandmother has always been pressed in my heart, and every night, when I think of this, I feel extremely remorseful." Does what you're talking about have anything to do with that?"

I said, "It matters." ”

A look of horror flashed in the sailor's eyes, but he remained silent and kept staring at me.

I said, "Sailor, don't look at me like that. Listen to me tell you slowly. ”

Only then did the sailor lower his eyes, look at the village below the mountain, forcibly suppress his excitement, and said slowly: "Say it." ”

"Your grandmother isn't dead. I said.

The sailor stood up again and exclaimed, "What did you say?"

I repeated, "Your grandmother is not dead. ”

The sailor began to cry and said, "Then where is she?" I think about her every day, why didn't she come to see me. ”

He Xuanya stood up, handed the handkerchief she was carrying to the sailor, and said, "You wipe away your tears first, and listen to Xiao Yuan, okay." ”

As he spoke, he pulled the sailor and sat down.

I went on to say, "Sailor, your grandmother is not an ordinary person, and neither are you and your father. Your grandmother is now king in another world. You and your father are also descendants of the royal family. ”

After hearing this, the sailor said angrily to me: "Gao Xiaoyuan, is it interesting that you are using this matter to play tricks on me? ”

After saying that, he got up and walked to the shack.

He Xuanya shouted: "Sailor, Xiao Yuan, he didn't play tricks on you, he told the truth. ”

The sailor got into the shack and lay on the bamboo mat and cried and said: "Sister Xiaoya, all along, in my mind, you are my role model, whether it is learning or being a person, you are the only person I admire in the whole school." I can't believe you've changed now. Let's go, all of you. Leave me alone for a while. ”

After the sailor finished speaking, he pulled up the quilt and covered his head inside.

He Xuanya and I looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

I said to myself, "If only Daddy were here." Let Daddy tell him, he shouldn't doubt Daddy's words. ”

Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered the big envelope that my father left me.

I haven't found a chance to open the envelope alone since my dad left, and I'm still lying quietly at the bottom of the wooden box where I hold books.

I said to He Xuanya, "I won't go back to the mountain at night, you can go alone later." ”

After saying that, he ran straight down the mountain.

He Xuanya shouted from behind, "What's wrong with you?"

I said, "There is something important. ”

When I got home, my parents were not there, and my brother went to the sixth master's house to help pick pears, and my father slept in the east house.

I walked into my room and opened the box containing the books.

I searched through the whole box, but I couldn't find the envelope.

I sat down on the ground in despair.
