Xia Xiao was the first to notice them, the kind of perception far beyond the exploration of the vitality, but the proximity of the qi of the living beings. This is probably the first fairly good ability that Xia Xiao has obtained after falling into the Demon Dao, his perception of living beings is stronger than before, he used to listen to the wind and smell people, but he is inseparable from the use of vitality. But the taste of the breath of the living soul is more convenient and rapid than any perception.

Hurriedly called Ah Candle, who was napping, Xia Xiao stared ahead, and said:

"Let him go back. ”

Ah Candle didn't know the situation, but his hands were sealed, so that the little dots returned to the starry sky first. Without the narwhal, they did not fall, and stood in the air, surrounded by thick clouds that made them feel like they were in a deep valley. And the vast sky is no more complex than the terrain of the ground, which makes Ah Candle feel a lot of unease.

Holding her hand, Xia Xiao began an auditory sharing. What is in his ears, Ah Candle can't hear it at all, this is a gap in strength, and it is also a great risk.

The words came clearly to Xia Xiao and Ah Candle as they approached, and they were exchanging things about themselves, and that kind of tone was the people of the Heavenly Sect.

"I really don't understand, it's been so long, and we've been patrolling day and night, Xia Xiao has run out of this world even if he is a pig, and how can he run to Daxia again?"

"That's it, but the elders are like crazy, and they want to catch Xia Xiao, hey! What kind of hatred and what kind of resentment?"

"One thing to say, I really admire him, a person who respects the realm and produces fruits, just like us, but he has escaped for more than a month, and there is no trace at all, is it really disappeared from the world?"

"I don't think so, maybe it's hidden, and I don't dare to show my head. Didn't the academy explain it? Ah Candle has the ability to conceal her aura, no one can perceive her existence, she and Xia Xiao are together, even if we are around, we can't feel it. ”

"It's really a perverted ability, I don't know what her identity is. ”

"I heard that she was approved by the dean of the academy and had something to do with God. ”

"That kind of thing has nothing to do with truth or falsehood, we all have to be in awe. ”

"What a candle. ”

The two who spoke gradually approached, making Ah Candle cover his mouth nervously, not daring to breathe, for fear that they would penetrate the thick clouds and suddenly bump into him. But Xia Xiao has an accurate calculation, instead of causing the wind to move, it is better to turn around in place and protect Ah Candle to the side, like a man who protects his wife because of the speeding carriage on the road.

But on such a side of the body, the two people who were only a few meters away from Xia Xiao quickly left, and they didn't turn their heads back. The apprehensive Ah Candle stayed in Xia Xiao's arms, and asked softly for a long time:

"They're far away?"

"Mmmmmmmm ”

Ah Candle exhaled a long breath and was almost discovered, scaring the person to death.

"Let's go. ”

Xia Xiao hugged Ah Candle and landed in the cloudless sky, but soon arrived, and when he went around the back of the mountain in front of him, he could see the small mountain village where Ah Candle was. Xia Xiao moved very slowly in the forest, because the time was still early, and it had not yet dawned, so he carried Ah Candle on his back and listened to her words in pieces:

"I carried you for a long time, I was tired to death, and now you are not allowed to let me go!"

"Don't let go, don't let go!"

"I'm going down, mention it!"

"Okay. ”

When the sky was bright, Xia Xiao and Ah Candle walked to a cliff and could clearly see the small mountain village. Everything here is isolated from the outside world, a small bridge, a few houses, surrounded by green mountains and green waters, all are a beautiful pastoral scene. At this time, there was already a rooster crowing, waking up the old people who were old and sleepy, and completely sending away their time yesterday.

The sound of rooster crows had become faint in his ears, but Xia Xiao finally understood why so many literati and generals would choose to live in the countryside in their old age. That kind of leisurely and complacent meaning may not only be as simple as picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, but also in the relaxation and comfort of the mood. In this kind of place, no matter how strong the war outside, it can't burn in.

Putting down his backpack, Ah Candle sat on the edge of the cliff, watching the first rays of light shine into the small mountain village and shine on the roof of his house. The scenery aroused her desire to go home, but she looked at Xia Xiao, who just pointed to the mountain behind the small mountain village. There was a sparkling ripple in the harsh sun, like a layer of water, but under it, many runes appeared.

As Ah Candle's hometown, how could the academy and the Qingtian Sect not pay attention to it? This talisman array immediately made her dispel her thoughts, but she looked at it with a blank face, but she didn't see her grandmother come out.

At last, a rickety old figure came out of the room, and she stretched out in the courtyard with her cane, and moved her muscles and bones with interest. Although they are all seemingly funny actions, for the elderly, this is already excellent, and they dare not ask for more difficult actions.

Watching her grandmother rub her legs and hands in the yard, and beat her back with a massage stick given by the Xia family, Ah Candle was overjoyed, like seeing a special comedy, but these are grandma's daily life now. She is alone at home, she has done less farm work, and she has planted a lot less things this year than in previous years, but it is enough.

People can't make enough money for a lifetime, so there is no place to sell the food, so it is better to take care of your body and wait for your grandchildren to come back.

Grandma is always concerned about Ah Candle, and Ah Candle misses her all the time.

"That rune array won't affect grandma, right?"

"No, I can't see through it, it should be cast by a rune master, such a rune array is delicate enough that it won't have any effect. ”

"That's good, I don't know anything about us yet. ”

"Senior Dimuri should have understood what I meant at the time, and he wouldn't tell grandma. But Daddy, they'll know, but it won't have much impact, and we haven't done anything bad anyway. ”

Ah Candle nodded, accompanying her grandmother from a long distance, while Xia Xiao set up a pot behind him, ready to boil some meat porridge to drink. Xia Xiao, who is currently in control of the four elements, is very convenient for everything, asking for water and water, fire and fire, and the smoke is also blown away by the wind, and then sat next to Ah Candle and handed her a big bowl of porridge.

The hot porridge matched well with the morning, but Ah Candle looked at her grandmother and wanted to say a few words to her, but she knew that it wouldn't work, so she didn't ask Xia Xiao again. She knew the current situation of herself and Xia Xiao, so she didn't want to make a mess, curled up her knees to support the bowl, and drank a few mouthfuls of hot porridge.

"It's hot. ”

Ah Candle burst into tears, her small mouth kept stuffing into the jerky, chewing for a while, and the fragrant feeling was very good, but grandma couldn't eat it.

"Xia Xiao, do you want to live a quiet life in the future?"

She asked faintly, which made Xia Xiao look at the small mountain village and think about it.

"Of course, I originally thought that I would be able to live a good and happy life by returning to the academy and avenging the revenge of the Zhu family, but I didn't expect that so many things would happen after entering the academy. ”

"Before I left the mountain village, I especially liked to go to the city, and every time I went to Longgang, I was super happy, pestering my grandmother to buy me delicious food. But when I actually left the mountain village, I found that the outside world was not so good, because it was too big, and no matter what I did, I seemed to be in a hurry, and I couldn't walk through every corner like I did in a small mountain village, and I knew every place by heart. ”

It's been more than a month since she was on the run, and Ah Candle has never behaved like this, and she has a sadness that is different from her usual guilt and annoyance, which makes her sigh inadvertently, and she doesn't even notice it. In normal times, Xia Xiao could immediately take her to do what she wanted, but now it is too special, so she can only sit here and watch from afar. But for Ah Candle, it is already a great happiness.

Holding the bowl, Ah Candle swallowed the hot porridge slowly, a few tears hanging on the tips of his eyebrows, and he was always there.

"One day, we will have our own little yard and grow some vegetables and flowers. ”

"Just me and you?"

Xia Xiao nodded, making Ah Candle happy, turned over slightly, biting the edge of the bowl with great joy, but still said with a hard mouth:

"Grandma said, a man's mouth, a deceitful ghost, maybe when you will run to find Shangshan, she happens to want to come to you too. ”

"Are you still jealous of her?"

"I don't have it! This girl is more beautiful than her, her figure is better than her, and her strength will be stronger than her in the future, how can you envy her?"

As soon as he saw Xia Xiao laughing, Ah Candle made a fuss.

"What are you laughing at? If you don't look at me, you're a wolf! I've helped you so much, don't you think I'm better than her?"

"If you don't help me, I'm better than her!"

Xia Xiao came as soon as he opened his mouth and praised Ah Candle, which caught him off guard, but he liked it very much, and hit him with a soft fist with a smile.

"Look at your hypocritical look, your nose is long. ”

"What do you mean?"

"The nose of a liar grows longer!"

"How do you know this story?"

Xia Xiao asked knowingly, but as long as Ah Candle was not so sad, it didn't matter if he deliberately made some mistakes.

"What stories have I told you?"

"The Man with the Long Nose, the Daughter of the Sea, the Seven Dwarfs and Snow White, and so many, yes, and the Ugly Duckling, I've always wondered, where did you know so many stories?"

"Brought from a previous life. ”

"The people who write these stories are geniuses. ”

"There is no shortage of geniuses in that world, there are many talents from all walks of life, and there are many golden sentences. ”

"What kind of genius are you?"

This sentence is the second time Xia Xiao has heard of this, but the answer is different.

"I'm good at bragging, and I'm good at dreaming!"

Xia Xiao's serious nonsense made Ah Zhu laugh. Seeing her disgusted and teasing herself, Xia Xiao admired her ability to change the topic, but thanks to Ah Candle's big heart, if it was a lady from any family, it was estimated that it would be difficult to coax her to cry.

A pot of porridge was quickly wiped out, and Ah Candle always liked Xia Xiao to put the heat heavier and bake a layer of paste. At first, Ah Candle needed to remind him, but Xia Xiao took the initiative to bake it this time and served a bowl to Ah Candle. She smiled and immersed herself in chewing, and after a long time, when the sun was shining, she looked at the small mountain village again, and saw her grandmother calling a few old guys to drink tea.

The sun is shining, not sunning, shining on people's warm clothes, the old guys sit in a row, holding a big pot of tea, shouting that it is good to follow the eldest sister, this kind of tea can not be drunk at ordinary times. The other old men knew that the eldest sister didn't like to listen to this kind of talk, and even told her to shut up. It's been so many years, who doesn't know each other's tempers? But life just has to have a little taste to be interesting, and it's uncomfortable not to hear those few scoldings.

"Grandma's life is quite leisurely, not as boring as I thought, so that's fine. ”

"But whatever she's doing, she's waiting for you to go back. ”

"It's not your fault, I can't go back this time!"

"Sooner or later, we will be able to go back, and we will go back together. ”

Xia Xiao raised his eyebrows at Ah Candle, making him sneer:

"Necrotic, where do you look?"

"Wronged, I didn't look anywhere!"

"Fart! Say you see it, you see it, kneel!"

"It's a beautiful idea!"

Ah Candle raised his arm to fight and quarreled with Xia Xiao. But after a long time, when she was tired of playing, her grandmother also fell asleep in the rocking chair.

Swinging his legs hanging on the cliff, Ah Candle leaned on Xia Xiao's shoulder and asked him:

"What's the difference between people in the Demon Dao and ordinary people?"

Regardless of who is being asked, the question is somewhat offensive. But Ah Candle was just pure curiosity, and Xia Xiao also knew, so he answered truthfully.

"There are many changes, the demonic nature will suppress reason, it will be more impulsive, and the primitive instinct will be awakened and amplified. Overall, it's just getting greedy!"

"Thanks to the help of your seniors, otherwise you will become a bad Xia Xiao. ”

"You're here, it won't. ”

"I didn't suppress your demonic nature last time, and you crushed the bones of your hand. ”

Xia Xiao didn't have this matter in his mind, so he picked up Ah Candle's small hand at this time, stared at it intently for a long time, and made sure that there was no major problem before gently resting it in his hand.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong. But don't think about that woman, when my strength is strong enough, she will be the first to die under my knife. Although darkness and light coexist, I still think the latter is stronger......"

"I just wanted comfort, I didn't want to hear these big things. ”

Ah Candle confided his heart, if Xia Xiao didn't know what to do, he would become an elm pimple. He said yes softly, hugged Ah Candle in his arms, and squeezed his palm for her.

"Like grandma, let's sleep for a while. ”

Ah Candle nodded and took a comfortable nap in Xia Xiao's massage. Xia Xiao looked at the grandmother in the yard, thinking that she was a little sorry for this old man, her distressed granddaughter had suffered in her own place, and the suffering had just begun, and when she entered the tail horn of the wild beast, everything would be difficult.

But Xia Xiao will always bring it to a happy life, although there is still a long way to go, and it is also very bumpy. But in life, if you don't do much, what will you tell your children in the future?

Xia Xiao felt amused by his thoughts for a moment, and he began to think about it again, but his daughter must not follow a bastard like himself like Ah Candle, otherwise he would not be at ease.

Lowering his head, Ah Candle's meaty little face attracted Xia Xiao to pinch it, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, it was so soft. Ah Candle was like a lazy kitten, her little paws scratched her face, wanting to sleep peacefully for a while, she was sleeping in Xia Xiao's arms, and he kept sitting, not daring to move.

The light breeze was accompanied by risk, making Xia Xiao look in the direction where the wind was coming from, and then look into the distance with it, and he was relieved that he didn't smell the smell of the academy and the Qingtian Sect.

"I don't know if the academy misses me. ”

When muttering to himself, Xia Xiao suddenly smiled, it was Jing Hong who was also sarcastic for having this idea, but the academy really missed him. Without his academy, everyone seemed to have lost motivation, but this search gradually made the people in the academy more serious. They all felt that the students around them had seen Xia Xiao, but they hadn't seen it. As a result, the search is a little more intense. But they would never have imagined that Xia Xiao and Ah Candle were so carried away, as if they were on the run.
