Chapter 54, Day by Day

When Xu Kefu returned to Xuchang City, he saw that all the people in the city welcomed him. The common people, regardless of men, women, old and young, saw Xu Ke with a grateful face. He wondered in his heart, and when he asked Yao Zibei, he learned that since they cleaned and restored the mountain spring, the spring water was able to flow into the underground river, and the two dry wells in the city also re-emerged water, and the big well was even more full of water, and the well water was also clear and clear. The people of this city all depend on those wells to survive, and now that the well water has finally returned to the same as before, how can the people not be ecstatic?

In addition, Xu Ke had killed a giant wolf yesterday, and the wolf meat had just been distributed to every resident. Today, when the people of the city saw him, he called another black wolf. The people all know that the flesh of the three black wolves is the most delicious among the many magical beasts, and a single fur can also be used to make sweaters, blankets and other warm things. This time, Xu Ke not only solved the drinking water of the people in Hecheng, but also added more food reserves for them. For Xu Ke, the residents of this city regarded him as a god, and they couldn't wait to kneel down and worship him.

Dongshan and Beiling carried the three black wolves and slaughtered and dismembered themselves. And the people went with them, and went with joy to receive the flesh and divide the skin. Since Xu Ke crossed over, only one day has passed, and the city of Xuchang is full of laughter and laughter, and there is a breath of excitement and joy everywhere......

Xu Ke and Murong Yan followed Hu Yiyi and Yao Zibei back to Hu Yiyi's residence. Yao Zibei had already made tea for them, saying that it was "tea", but in fact it was boiling the well water and putting in a few unknown leaves. Xu Ke drank the tea brought by Yao Zibei, although he couldn't taste the aroma of tea, but there was finally no smell in the water. He took several big sips in a row, and then looked at Murong Yan next to him, and the expression of drinking tea was happier than him.

After Xu Ke returned to the city, the sun had passed noon, and he had not eaten since last night, and his stomach couldn't help but roar. Strange to say, he was in the Divine King's Pavilion, and he never felt hungry, but once he crossed over to the real world, hunger followed him. Hu Yiyi looked at Xu Ke touching her belly, and couldn't help but sneer, and before long, she brought everyone a freshly cooked white soup wolf meat.

The four of them sat around the square table, like a family, and they were no longer polite to each other. Hu Yiyi took the lead, reached out and took a piece of wolf meat and put it in his mouth and chewed it, this time he was even more unscrupulous than Murong Yan last night. Yao Zibei and Murong Yan did not show weakness, they each reached out to take the wolf meat, and then gnawed wildly. It was Xu Ke, who was sitting among the three women, who was the most elegant. He first thought about having a pair of chopsticks with Hu Yiyi, but later saw that others were using their hands, so he was embarrassed to be "reserved" again, so he also reached out and grabbed a piece of wolf meat.

At this time, Xu Ke smelled the piece of wolf meat in his hand, and suddenly felt that the wolf meat was no longer so fishy, but faintly revealed a long-lost meat fragrance. He tried to take a few bites, and the more he nibbled, the more he felt that the wolf meat tasted good. Maybe Hu Yiyi put some rare spices in the wolf meat, or maybe Xu Ke saw the three stunning women beside him, and the appearance of eating wolf meat regardless of it also drove his appetite. The more Xu Ke ate at this time, the more energetic he became, and he even ate several pieces of wolf meat at once. The women saw that Xu Ke was eating hard, and they were also happy in their hearts, and the four of them kept their hands on the ground, like a whirlwind and clouds, and they ate a large pot of wolf meat in a moment.

After eating, Xu Ke had a full burp and suddenly felt a little sleepy. He heard that Hu Yiyi still wanted to cook some more wolf meat for him, so he hurriedly waved his hand, touched his slightly bulging belly and said, "Sister Hu, don't be busy, I'm full, right now, I just want to find a place to lie down......"

"Didn't Xiao Wuxian sleep well last night?" Hu Yiyi couldn't help but look puzzled, looked at Murong Yan and asked.

He ...... He didn't lie down on the couch last night, he just sat in the corner of the room all night......" Murong Yan lowered her head and said with some embarrassment.

"Ahem!" Hu Yiyi sighed and said, "Sister Xiaoyan, take him to sleep quickly! I think he is sleepy......"

......

Xu Ke followed Murong Yan back to her room, this time, he was really sleepy, and went directly to the low couch and lay down in his clothes. Murong Yan helped him cover the blanket, and said that it was his turn to patrol the city in the afternoon, so he closed the door and left.

I don't know how long I slept, Xu Ke finally woke up, and the night was dark at this time, and the room was dark. He saw Murong Yan sitting on the low couch, and hurriedly got up and left the bed, wanting to give up the warm quilt to Murong Yan.

Since Murong Yan returned from patrolling the city, she has been guarding Xu Ke's couch. She saw that Xu Ke had been sleeping soundly, and she couldn't bear to wake up, and when she saw Xu Ke get up, she lit a red candle, went out and brought in a plate of wolf meat, and the two had dinner together.

After dinner, Xu Ke asked Murong Yan to lie down and fall asleep, he heard that the person who patrolled the city tonight was Hu Yiyi, so he took the excuse to discuss with Hu Yiyi about strengthening the city defense, went out of the room, closed the door, and went straight to the city gate.

At this moment, Hu Yiyi is standing on the tower of the city gate, overlooking the night scene outside the city. When she saw Xu Ke walking up, she couldn't help but be a little surprised, so she smiled at Xu Ke and said:

"I said Xiao Wu's illness! You don't accompany Xiao Yan's sister in the room, but you come to this city tower to do something? Don't you like warm quilts, but you like to come out late at night to blow the cold wind?"

With the light of the torch beside him, Xu Ke took a closer look at Hu Yiyi in front of him at this time, and saw that although she was still as charming and pretty as ever, the ten years still left some traces on her face. In Xu Ke's mind, Hu Yiyi is the body of a thousand-year-old demon, and I remember that she said before that her face will never change. However, now Hu Yiyi's pretty face has more of a woman's mature and steady charm. She also looked to be about thirty years old, and her appearance was obviously different from the nineteen-year-old girl who lived in the Hazelnut of Xufu back then. At this time, Hu Yiyi can really make Xu Ke call him a "sister".

"Sister Hu, I'm during the day

I slept too much, but I couldn't sleep at night, and I heard that you were on duty tonight, so I also went out for a walk, and wanted to talk to my sister for a while......" Xu Ke said.

"Okay!" Hu Yiyi smiled happily: "My sister is bored when she patrols the city alone, so let's walk around the city wall!"

At this time, in the high mountain rift outside the city, the howls of those monsters could be heard everywhere. In the dark night, countless pairs of fluorescent monsters were staring at this lonely city. The two of them walked slowly by the city wall, and the cold night breeze blew in their ears.

On such an unclean night, in such a dangerous earthen city, in such a dark and chaotic world, Xu Ke followed Hu Yiyi's footsteps and walked casually. They strolled around at will, chatted casually, glanced at each other from time to time, and couldn't help but smile again. There is a feeling that no longer needs to be expressed in words, but in a mutual smile, each of them tacitly ......

"Sister Hu, in order to help me detoxify, you actually dispersed more than 1,200 years of cultivation on your body. My sister's life-saving grace to the disease-free is called disease-free in the future...... How can you repay it?" Xu Ke said first, his face full of gratitude.

Hu Yiyi smiled: "Xiao Wuxi, don't say that, my sister saved the 'you' ten years ago." Now you haven't had a poisoning attack, and my sister hasn't done anything to you!"

Xu Ke asked again: "Sister, now that you have dispersed your cultivation for more than a thousand years, will you be like those ordinary women in the world in the future, will you be born, old, sick and die?"

Hu Yiyi laughed softly: "It's good! Sister can grow old together with Xiao Wuxian from now on, isn't it also good? Moreover, there are also Sister Xiaoyan and Sister Xiaobei, they will also be like us, and their faces will slowly age." If my sister can have you by her side, even if she grows old and leaves this world one day, she will be satisfied! If there is no company for you in this world, only my sister is left, and she is left alone in this demonic world, what is the point of living like that?"

Xu Ke suddenly remembered Hu Yiyi's big dream. In Hu Yiyi's long dream, he saw Hu Yiyi, Murong Yan, and Yao Zibei each becoming older and haggard. However, although they are all dying, their feelings for themselves have never changed in the slightest. He couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart: "Ahem! How can I, Xu Ke, be able to work for these four stunning women in the world to be so devoted to me!"

Hu Yiyi saw that Xu Ke had been silent for a long time, and her face was full of gratitude and guilt, so she chuckled: "Xiao Wuxi, don't think about it! My sister used to be a big demon, but now she has just lost her demonic power and returned to an ordinary woman." For my sister, being able to experience the birth, old age, sickness and death of ordinary people like you may also be an unexpected gain, at least, there is nothing to lose...... If you really want to be grateful to your sister, now, you should be kind to Sister Xiaoyan!"

Xu Ke scratched his forehead and wondered, "Yan'er, aren't I very good to her?"

Hu Yiyi gently slapped Xu Ke's right arm, and said coquettishly: "Sister is saying, such a beautiful day, you should go back to the room to accompany Sister Xiaoyan, so as to save her loneliness!"

"This ......" Xu Ke scratched his forehead even harder, and was speechless for a moment.

Hu Yiyi stroked his palm and laughed: "Little Wuxian is still that little Wuxi! It hasn't changed at all from ten years ago, and it's still so easy to be shy!"

Xu Ke said embarrassedly: "This ...... After touring the city with my sister, I should go back to my room to accompany me...... Yan'er. ”

Hu Yiyi turned her head to look at Xu Ke and asked, "Won't you curl up in the corner for another night tonight?"

Xu Ke was silent......

"You!" Hu Yiyi stretched out her right finger, tapped Xu Ke's forehead hard, and said angrily: "Let my sister say that you are fine! You are really a piece of sick wood, I see, you are so sick that you are all sick to the roots...... Since you and Xiao Yan both like each other, you should get married early! My sister was going to hold a decent wedding for you, so that the whole city would be happy, but Xiao Yan didn't let you. I just thought that Xiao Yan was thin-skinned, so it was up to her. But you never thought that your skin was thinner than Xiao Yan! Do you think that your new house is too small and your bed is too simple? Do you not want to get married in a hurry and give in?"

Xu Ke hurriedly said: "Where did my sister say that?" I feel ......" As he spoke, he looked at Hu Yiyi again.

Seeing Xu Ke suddenly staring at himself, Hu Yiyi seemed to have understood, couldn't help blushing, and then smiled: "You don't have to worry about your sister's ...... Besides, sister's mind, didn't I let Sister Zibei tell you everything......? Do you still want your sister to ...... at this time? Say it again?" The more she said this sentence to the end, the softer her voice became, and the sentence "Say it again" was as thin as a mosquito's groan......

Last night, I heard Yao Zibei tell him Hu Yiyi's thoughts, and Xu Ke was already agitated and overjoyed. At this moment, he heard Hu Yiyi say it again in person, and when he heard this intention, what man in the world would not be happy and intoxicated? At that moment, Xu Ke kept scratching his forehead until he scratched it countless times, and he wanted to say a word of gratitude or emotion, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't get out.

Hu Yiyi saw that Xu Ke was silent again, so he blushed and persuaded: "Ah Ke, it's late at night, and it doesn't matter if my sister is patrolling the city alone, so you can go back to the room quickly......!

"Uh...... But ......" Xu Ke still hesitated, not knowing what to say.

"But what is it!" Hu Yiyi stretched out his finger and poked Xu Ke's forehead again, and said angrily: "Xiao Wuxi, now this is not Chang'an City ten years ago! Look at what the sky and the earth have become! There is not a single mortal who can survive! Moreover, there are still people dying every day, every hour, and every moment! We are very fortunate to be alive! In the future, no one will be able to survive

Xiao Yan used to be the eldest lady of Tianbao Pavilion, her family was rich and rivaled the country, even she has put down her body, she doesn't care about everything in front of her, as long as she lives with you. It's good that you're still thinking about those red tapes to this day! Do you still have to wait for your sister to prepare three media and six gifts for you before you are willing to bend and stretch off the shelves and be Xiao Yan's husband?!"

"But......" Xu Ke only felt very aggrieved, and snorted: "Sister Hu, I'm ...... tonight I just want to accompany my sister to tour the city......"

Hu Yiyi's beautiful eyes couldn't help but stare at Xu Ke for a long time, before he sighed and said with a smile: "Okay! Then you will follow your sister to patrol the city." However, after another hour, my sister will go back to the room, and you have to promise my sister that you will also go back to Xiao Yan to sleep...... And don't sit and sleep anymore!"

"Okay!" Xu Ke nodded, which was regarded as a promise to Hu Yiyi.

The two of them were on the side of the walls of this lonely city, and under the reflection of the waning moon and the stars, they continued to walk slowly and talk eloquently. The sound of the monsters screaming outside the city seemed to have become a burst of music that accompanied the two of them to talk and enjoy the night......

Xu Ke asked from time to time how Hu Yiyi, Yao Zibei, Murong Yan and himself at that time had lived in the past ten years. Hu Yiyi also casually talked about various interesting things about them in the past ten years. It's not so much an "interesting story", but rather a bitter past they talked about in order to survive in this cruel world.

Xu Ke listened carefully to the past told by Hu Yiyi. He listened quietly, felt carefully, and looked up from time to time at Hu Yiyi's delicate and good-looking face.

Somehow, every time Xu Ke saw Hu Yiyi's unparalleled face, he couldn't help but think of another woman he met in Sang Kingdom. Yoshida Ryoko, the daughter of Yoshida Daiyan's house, is she okay now?

"Sister Hu......" Several times, he wanted to ask Hu Yiyi, why did she look exactly the same as Yoshida Ryoko in Mulberry?

He still didn't want Hu Yiyi and the others to know that he had traveled to the "unbearable" past. In particular, in the past month, she has also had a full seven nights with Yoshida Ryoko......

He's still so shy.

......

......

Before I knew it, an hour had passed, and when it was time to be ugly, Nanyuan took three soldiers to the city tower to hand over to Hu Yiyi. Hu Yiyi went back to her room to rest, and when she broke up, she told Xu Ke again that after she went back, she would not sit and fall asleep again......

Xu Ke agreed, he looked at Hu Yiyi's back as he turned away, but a "naughty" thought suddenly appeared in his heart: At this time, if he is allowed to follow Hu Yiyi back to the room, maybe he will no longer sit in the corner and fall asleep......

After all, the previous young lady of the Yoshida family looked exactly like Hu Yiyi, and he actually had a different sense of intimacy with her in his heart.

Xu Ke returned to Murong Yan's room, and he saw that although Yan'er was already asleep, she was still lying down against the wall, leaving himself an empty space with more than one person. However, after thinking about it again and again, he still sat in the corner of the wall last night, with his head resting on his knees, just like last night, and slept with his hands on his knees......

Two hours later, it was daylight again, and although the sky was full of smoke again, there was some visible light in the sky. Murong Yan got up early, and when she saw that Xu Ke was still sitting in the corner, she shook her head, but she didn't know how to persuade her. As usual, she covered him with a blanket and went out to make breakfast for him......

Not long after, Xu Ke also got up, he and Murong Yan hurriedly ate breakfast, and hurried out of the city to hunt. This "hunting" is really a matter of life for the people of the city. In addition to getting food and fur from hunting, you can also collect some remaining wood, spices, clothing, salt and other necessities along the way. Therefore, if you want to improve the lives of the inhabitants of the city, you have to go out to the city to hunt more......

Next, Xu Ke had to go out hunting almost every day. It's just that every time he went out of the city to hunt after that, he didn't let Murong Yan, Hu Yiyi, and Yao Zibei follow. Instead, two of the four generals of Murong Mansion were drawn out and followed him out of the city, Xu Ke was good at killing demonic beasts, but for collecting the things needed by the people along the road, they still had to rely on Dongshan and Beiling.

Every day, Xu Ke gets up early, goes out of the city early to hunt, and rushes back to the city around noon. In the afternoon, after lunch, he would lie down on Murong Ya's couch and sleep alone to make up for the lack of rest at night. And at night, he would either go out to patrol the city, or find an excuse to accompany others, and he really had to return to Murong Yan's room, and he would still sit in the corner and sleep with his knees hugged......

Although everyone in Xuchang City at this time has regarded Xu Ke and Murong Yan as husband and wife (naturally, Hu Yiyi is Xu Ke's eldest wife), however, for several consecutive days, Xu Ke has never even touched Murong Yan's little hand. Even he couldn't figure out what it was all about......

Murong Yan saw that Xu Ke was so "shy", so she naturally didn't want to force him to go to bed and sleep with her. And when Hu Yiyi and Yao Zibei heard this, they had nothing else to think about except shaking their heads and sighing.

Day after day, day after day, Xu Ke traveled to ten years later, and then lived in Xuchang Tucheng......

And that Cloud Shadow Bead, no matter when and where Xu Ke took it out, whether it was infused with the True Yuan or recited the spell, it was useless. It seems that the spirit bead that can trigger the power of time and space has turned into a dull ordinary bead overnight.

Since you can't go back to the past, you have to stay in the future.

......
