The night was dark and the wind was high, and a group of five people ran wildly on the wilderness mountain road, no one spoke, and hurried away with their heads bowed like a rapid march, and finally saw the dilapidated and desolate village entrance in the distance before dawn.

Dugu Che squinted slightly after discovering it, and spit out two words in a deep voice: "It's here." ”

The groggy Liwanxiao's heart sank, I don't know if it was because of the timidity of her hometown, she didn't feel impatient in her heart, but inexplicably lingered with an indescribable complex emotion. Looking up from his bosom and looking into the distance, the familiar village was close in front of him, but the scene in it had long been unrecognizable. She felt a little trance from Wanxiao, was this place really her hometown where she grew up, and why did she feel so strange?

In just half a year, it seems like a lifetime, and when I return today, it feels like a lifetime.

"Wanxiao?" Seeing her looking at the village, Dugu Che whispered softly in her ear.

Li Wanxiao retracted her gaze and responded in a dumb voice, "I'm fine, let's go take a look."

Dugu Che glanced at her a few times with some concern, this girl's tone and face were full of exhaustion, thinking about it, she tossed for a whole day and a night, and it was strange that she was not tired. Thinking that when I go into the village later, I will go home with her first, no matter what, it is where she grew up after all, and when she returns home to rest, she can be relieved from the girl.

The group hurried up, and stopped in front of the village in less than a cup of tea. In early autumn, the mountains are much cooler than outside, and the long-uninhabited mountain village is already overgrown with weeds, and there are traces of sun and rain everywhere, making it difficult to put your feet down. Dugu Che helped the little girl pick up her clothes, and said indifferently: "Go home first." ”

Home, what a familiar two words. Looking at the scene in front of her, Li Wanxiao's eyes shone with a hint of water, and her red eyes just fell into the eyes of the half-demon Mei who looked back sideways, her eyes darkened, and she entered without saying a word, and the dilapidated scene around her seemed to be completely out of her eyes.

Others also followed silently, and in the face of such a barren mountain and wild village, everyone's hearts were not very comfortable. Everyone understands that it is not easy to live with Wanxiao, and after seeing it with their own eyes, they have a deeper understanding, but they are as smart as a king, but another doubt pops up in their minds: the plague killed the people of the whole village, but Liwanxiao, she is also a mortal, but she has not been affected in any way, and she can escape smoothly alone, is it really a coincidence?

I don't know how the half-demon Mei led the way, but she seems to be very familiar with the way to her house, so she walked directly towards her small courtyard without any detour. The fence that my father had cut down the trees by hand was still there, and when she opened the fence gate, she could see a small vegetable patch in the garden, which used to be a good place for her to play when she was a child.

Li Wanxiao looked at the small thatched hut in her childhood with red eyes and a smile on the corner of her mouth, she was really naughty at that time, always making the master angry, and she was so bored that she fell asleep when she was punished for copying medical books, and every time she woke up, she always found herself sleeping peacefully in a small bed. Master is like this, he spoils her quietly, and after she earns money from the clinic, he will bring her a new pair of shoes or a few small packets of snacks, and occasionally make more money, and buy a new dress or a beautiful headband to bring back, and when she sees her wearing it, he smiles contentedly and tells her not to get the new clothes dirty, otherwise she will have to wash them yourself.

Master, Wanxiao has grown up, when will you come back and come back to see me?

Hot tears slipped silently down his cheeks, wetting his lips, and the bitter taste spread in his mouth......

Dugu Che and they stayed by her side without saying a word, and no one stepped forward to comfort her. Here is her memory, only by truly learning to say goodbye to the past can she completely leave the past suffering behind and welcome a better life in the future.

"My family...... It's a mess, you guys...... I'm sorry. Li Wanxiao tried to say a complete sentence, but the moment she looked back at Dugu Che, tears couldn't stop pouring out, "I'm sorry......"

"It doesn't matter. Dugu Che responded softly, and the little dreamer on the side also hurriedly raised a smile and said: "It's okay, it's okay, you haven't been home for a long time, it's normal to be dirty and messy, wait a while for you to do business, a few of us are idle, just fetch some water to help you clean up the house." ”

"That's right, you just have to do your own thing, we have to clean up at home, especially this kid, who jumps up and down all day long and doesn't have a serious job, just to find him some work. ”

"Hey, Jun Wuxian, you don't feel comfortable if you don't damage me for a day, right?"

"Yes. ”

"I think you're looking for a fight!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, the half-demon Mei who was watching the play hooked the corners of her mouth and said leisurely: "You two are really idle, don't forget that there is a troublemaker here, beware of being targeted by others, if you are plotted, you will capsize in the gutter." ”

Half-Demon Mei's words reminded everyone, especially Dugu Che, since he came out of the Demon Valley, he felt the weirdness of things, and he felt more and more that his every move and the others were in the calculations of a powerful person, this feeling of being treated as a marionette made him very unhappy, but now he can only wait and see what happens, and be careful in everything.

After the three of them made such a fuss, Li Wanxiao's tears were also restrained a lot, and Mengzi couldn't help but roll her eyes when she was crying and laughing, "You can go if you want, let Brother Li accompany you around, don't worry about us." ”

"yes, let's go, let's go, we're going to start cleaning, get out of the way. Jun Wuxian also waved his hand, signaling Dugu Che to hurry up and lead the girl to the side, this place is too old, it is easy for people to touch the scene, they should hurry up and tidy up, and give her a big surprise when the girl comes back.

Dugu Che naturally understood what these people were planning to do, and knew that they were motivated by good intentions, so he nodded tacitly and said softly: "Let's go see Master, you haven't been home for so long, his old man must be very worried." ”

Speaking of Master, Li Wanxiao also wanted to take a look, so the two of them walked straight to the backyard one after the other. Looking at the backs of the two of them leaving together, a trace of loneliness flashed on Jun Wuxian's face, and Mengzi beside him couldn't help but quip: "Envy, right?

"Don't look at what kind of place this is. Jun Wuxian unceremoniously scolded back, this kid is not beaten, three days without beating will be itchy all over the body, if it weren't for the girl's hometown, he would have beaten this kid's nose and swollen face.

"Hey, hey, the gentleman doesn't move his mouth, you have to maintain your image, a martyrless son. ”

"Okay, if you two continue to quarrel, will you still be able to do the work?" The half-demon Mei had no choice but to spread her hands, these two living treasures are really a headache, and sometimes I am afraid that even Dugu Che can't do anything about them.

“......”

The two people who immediately closed their mouths glared at each other, and then they didn't say much, Half-Demon Mei is not a woman to mess with, if she gets angry, the degree of horror is more than Dugu Che's identity as a lord. Jun Wuxian and Mengzi can only run to work in disgrace, one fetching water and the other sweeping the floor, and the half-demon Mei who didn't want to touch the things here finally joined in, and none of the three of them used spells, and they worked hard and did housework.

If this scene is seen by outsiders, I am afraid that my jaw will drop in shock. The three big devils who are calling for wind and rain in the demon world actually do chores for a mortal girl, and it's very funny to think about this meeting.

On the other side, Dugu Che and Li Wanxiao were already standing in front of the master's grave, and they had been gone for more than half a year, and now when they came back, the grass on the master's grave had grown half a person high. Li Wanxiao stood there and watched for a while, and then trotted back to the house, found the hoe with a familiar car, and started hoeing with Dugu Che.

"Master, the apprentice is not filial, and I haven't come back to see you for a long time. ”

"Master, Wanxiao really misses you. ”

"Master, will you miss me in heaven too?"

Bean-sized tears dripped down his feet and disappeared into the dirt. The past is vivid, but now it is a matter of people, who can understand that desolation?

"Your efforts, Master, his old man will definitely see it. Raising his hand to help her straighten the messy hair between her sideburns, Dugu Che said softly: "It's all over, it's okay." ”

Li Wanxiao grabbed a large bundle of weeds in her hand, endured it for a long time, and suddenly cried out. When they were at the door, they all watched, no matter how sad they were, they could only endure it, and now that Dugu Che was by her side, she had nothing to hide, and she threw herself directly into his arms and shed tears unscrupulously. Only by his side can she be as simple as this, without caring about the eyes of others, laughing when she is happy, crying when she is sad, simply without any disguise.

Smile. ”

The surrounding weeds have been removed, revealing a small grave bag inside, Dugu Che took a few looks, and a strange feeling arose in his heart. The first time he saw this tomb, his intuition turned out to be an empty tomb?

Thinking about it carefully, I think it's unlikely, could it be that I have been suspicious recently, so these inexplicable thoughts appeared.

Accompanied by Li Wanxiao to take the dark coins she bought from the bazaar, she lit a small pile of branches with a fire fold, and put the paper money into the fire with a lonely face. Seeing that the colorful paper money gradually disappeared, leaving only a handful of ashes, Dugu Che looked up at the grave bag slightly. This small tomb was obviously made by Li Wanxiao herself, and even the wooden plank that served as a stone tablet was not smooth, and a few words were written crookedly on it: Master's Tomb.

"Wanxiao, you carved this?"

As the words fell, Li Wanxiao had just looked up at him, when a figure flashed very abruptly in the grove behind the grave. The man was too fast to see clearly, but it was obvious that he was wearing a black tights, and he was very alert, and he disappeared in a flash.

Hearing this, Li Wanxiao, who raised her head, obviously saw this person as well, and was immediately startled, and stammered: "There are ghosts, there are ghosts." ”

"It's not a ghost. Dugu Che insisted.
