From the southern end of the Valley of Tribulation to the northeast side of the Valley of Tribulation, it is said that it is within a hundred miles, but it has to pass through the core range of the Beast King of the Valley of Tribulation, and there are countless dangers along the way. Not to mention whether Yue Shiyi can handle the Thunder Devouring Beast, it is a great achievement to be able to reach the destination area smoothly.

Not to mention how Yue Shiyi walked, without him in Yueyang Tower, the atmosphere was suddenly much more relaxed. It's not that Yue Shiyi is strict, but the "fierce reputation" of Longxiao Villa, coupled with Yue Shiyi's strong physique, has already scared the three apprentices into weakness.

In front of Yue Shiyi, the three young people were like three well-behaved babies.

As soon as he left, Xu Yan and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, and they walked a lot.

Gu Xue couldn't help but sigh lightly, and muttered in her heart: "Brother Yue is really, today is the fifteenth Lantern Festival, how can you decide to go to the valley to take risks?"

was worried about Yue Shiyi's safety, and Tang Yu's voice came from his side: "Miss Gu, today is the Lantern Festival, I just met my mother, and said that there are dumplings prepared at home, and there are a lot of delicious food-ordinary, why don't you go to my house for the festival after finishing your homework today?"

Tang Yu didn't think much about it, but he felt that Gu Xue was busy all day long, and he couldn't bear to look at it. Inviting her to be a guest at home is also a little grateful.

"I'm still at home. Gu Xue wasn't much interested, "It's good for you to reunite with your parents." ”

Tang Yu didn't dare to force the invitation, but just smiled.

Xu Yan said: "My home is close, do you want to go to my place?"

Gu Xue still shook her head and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I understand your kindness - but I don't want to go anywhere, Gongzi once said that I will go back during the Lantern Festival, and I must prepare at home." ”

"I can't let my son go home, but there is no one to serve me!"

When she talked about Gongzi, she had an obsession in her heart, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, the fragility that Lieyang had briefly shown made her feel a kind of distress.

Gu Xue swore at that time that no matter what, she must take care of her son!

Even if Gongzi asked someone to summon him and said that he would come back later, Gu Xue was still looking forward to it and wanted him to come back as soon as possible.

When Gu Xue said these words, Liu Jianlong behind him was displeased, and his face changed several times. It's just that he fell last, and Xu Yan and the others didn't pay attention.

......

Night.

Yueyang Tower, which had been lively for a while, was left with only Gu Xue alone in the blink of an eye.

Although there is no one else, the little girl's enthusiasm for life has not diminished at all, Zhang gathered all kinds of materials, and pinched up the rice balls with sesame filling and bean paste filling.

"If Childe comes back, he will definitely like it!" Gu Xue added spinach juice and wolfberry sprouts to different doughs to make pink and green rice balls.

Served with brown sugar ginger soup, it is fragrant and crispy.

But the son who didn't know what he was thinking about was chased and killed by Emperor Chen, and went back to the east of the Stardust Continent, thousands of miles away from the town.

But those who are pious and shiny will always reap unexpected surprises.

When Gu Xue was ready for this, it was already dark, and there were some lantern activities on the main street of the town, and the square in the north of the town was more lively, but it had nothing to do with her.

"Knock, knock, knock-" There was a sound from the tied door, which made Gu Xuejiao, who was cooking rice balls, tremble, and when she reacted, she hurriedly covered the tuyere of the stove, and ran out of the hall quickly, her mouth forced a calm response, "Come on, come on, who?"

It's Childe back, right?

It must be, it must be!

The little maid was about to cry with excitement, but she tried to suppress her tears: I can't let Childe see me crying, he must be very tired after so long in retreat, and I can't let Childe worry!

Gu Xue walked to the back of the door, carefully pulled the deadbolt of the door, opened the door and looked, and was stunned-

“......”

Under the bleak moonlight, it was not her own son who was standing, but a middle-aged woman dressed in shabby.

Although the middle-aged woman's clothes were plain, she could see the traces of careful arrangement, and when she saw Gu Xue, her slightly decayed eyes suddenly flashed with light, and the bright light kept shaking, and it rolled down after only two breaths.

"Third sister!" The middle-aged woman cried with joy and wanted to step forward, but she hesitated after taking a step - Yueyang Tower was in front of her, not just if she wanted to.

Gu Xue saw the woman crying, where could she still hold back her emotions, even the four years of her son-in-law were put aside, tears gleamed in her apricot eyes, and she called in surprise: "Mother!"

——

She never thought that her mother would come to see her today, so she hurriedly stepped forward and threw herself into her mother's arms. That feeling of warmth is irreplaceable.

Even Childe's embrace is warm, but it's different in the end.

In the deserted streets and alleys of the past, with the warmth of the reunion of mother and daughter, Gu Xue hugged her mother for a while, and when she let go, her eyes were hazy with tears, and she quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped her mother first, and then wiped away the tears herself, and asked suspiciously: "Mother, why are you here?"

When Mrs. Gu saw her daughter, her eyes were full of joy, and she turned her head to the side: "It was this Liu Gongzi who went to the house and told me your news - and arranged a carriage to pick me up in time to come to the town." ”

Liu Gongzi?

Gu Xue looked at it suspiciously, and saw that in the blurred light, there was indeed a young man standing with a shy smile on his face—it was Liu Jianlong.

"I set off after my homework in the afternoon, just in time. Liu Jianlong's tone was sincere, "Miss Gu, you haven't eaten dinner yet, have you?"

"No, I don't. Gu Xue felt a little weird in her heart, but Liu Jianlong brought her mother here, and she couldn't refuse this kindness. I could only look at my mother and say, "Mother, I'm preparing dinner, come in." ”

——

In the kitchen of Yueyang Building, there are quite a few ingredients.

Even if someone came in a hurry, Gu Xue still quickly sat down for a sumptuous dinner, Mrs. Gu was worried all the way, she really saw her daughter, and she couldn't help but thank Liu Jianlong for her kindness.

Liu Jianlong was very attentive to help set up the dishes and chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Auntie is polite, Miss Gu takes good care of the juniors on weekdays, and the juniors are just running errands, so there is no need to say thank you." ”

Gu Xue set up a small stove on the dining table, prepared some hot pot dishes, and asked suspiciously, "Mother, why did you come out alone?"

During the Lantern Festival, a strange man drove to pick up your wife, are you happy?

"Liu Gongzi means to let me come with your father. Your father was reluctant at first, and he quarreled with Liu Gongzi......" Mrs. Gu said truthfully, "but Liu Gongzi still persuaded your father, and your father asked me to come and see." ”

"That's it......" Gu Xue always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say it.

Anyway, it's rare to reunite, so I just don't want to think too much, and it's serious to eat happily and chat.

Liu Jianlong didn't say much, still as usual, quietly listening to their mother and daughter talking, until after eating the rice balls, he said: "When Mrs. Gu wants to go home, let me know, the junior will arrange a carriage to send Mrs. - the junior lives in the alley next door, and the Liu Ji sugar cake shop is opened by my family." ”

Speaking of which, on the day Lieyang bought the little maid, Gu Xue was picking out snacks at Liu Ji's sugar cake shop. At this moment, Mrs. Gu had long been defenseless against Liu Jianlong, and she was even more happy to hear that the Liu family still had some industry, and was just about to nod her head in agreement, but her daughter touched the back of her hand under the table-

"It's very troublesome for you to bring my mother. Gu Xue said calmly, "You still have to finish your homework tomorrow, I'll arrange it myself." ”

"......" Liu Jianlong opened his mouth and thought for a while before saying, "Okay then." ”

——

After dinner, Liu Jianlong helped clean up the kitchen for a while, and then said goodbye. Mrs. Gu looked at Liu Jianlong leaving with a smile, Gu Xue secretly rolled her eyes and decisively closed the door.

"Third sister, this Liu Gongzi is good to you!" Mrs. Gu took her daughter's hand, her eyes full of women's gossip.

Gu Xue was unwavering, and said calmly: "In Yueyang Tower, everyone is very good to their daughter-mother, don't worry, I'm doing well." ”

Mrs. Gu didn't doubt this at all, but as a person who came over, her vision was much more spicy: "Good is good, but some are good for a lifetime - you are a maid in Yueyang Tower, and Liu Gongzi is an apprentice, isn't it just right?"

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said, "He said that he was an apprentice, but you also heard the conditions at his home - Liu Ji sugar cakes are still your favorite food!"

Gu Xue didn't understand what her mother meant, and she didn't know what she thought, her pretty face turned red, and she lowered her head and said: "Mother, I signed a deed of sale with my son, and I am the son of the son - who to marry is up to the son!"

She knew that her mother was doing it for her own good, and what she said was right. Liu Jianlong has the conditions for cultivation, and among the people, it is considered a wealthy family, and I don't know how many young girls want to marry into the Liu family.

But Gu Xue is also very smart, she knows that she is not qualified to say whether she likes it or whether she is willing, so she will leave it to Gongzi.

"Yes. Mrs. Gu was a little worried, thinking of the scene of selling her daughter, she inevitably burst into tears, and lamented, "Girl, my mother is sorry for you and missed your life." ”

"Mother, don't be like this, I'm not doing well now. Gu Xue smiled and comforted her wholeheartedly, "You must have heard of the child's ability, being able to serve him is also the creation of his daughter!"

Mrs. Gu nodded helplessly, and no one could see her guilt. If Gu Xue hadn't been sold, and Liu Gongzi had taken a fancy to her, wouldn't her life be complete?

Thousands of mistakes, all of which are her father's fault for gambling money!

After scolding thousands of times in her heart, Mrs. Gu's eyes suddenly flashed, she took a closer look at her daughter, and when she saw that she seemed to have something on her mind, she immediately guessed seven or eight points.

Hurriedly grabbed her daughter's hand and said, "Third sister, you have to explain something to your mother." ”

"Hmm?" Gu Xue didn't know why, tilted her head and looked at Mrs. Gu, looking very cute, "What's the matter?"

Mrs. Gu had seen the layout of Yueyang Tower, and knew that the standard of living here was extraordinary, so she frowned and asked, "To be honest, did you fall in love with Li Gongzi?"

Lieyang's pseudonym is Li Yang, and the movement in the robbery town is enough to make this name sung for a long time. Mrs. Gu recalled the scene when Lieyang decisively gave ten gold coins that day, and felt more and more that this young man was not simple.

Without waiting for her daughter to answer, Mrs. Gu said very decisively: "Girl, you'd better not think about it!"
