When Zhao Jiuge arrived at Yuhua Town, the sky was gloomy, and night was about to fall, and the entire Yuhua Town did not have a mottled city wall like Dongyang City, because it was about to set in the west and it was night, and at this time, there were only bustling figures in the town rushing towards the residence in the countryside.

Yuhua Town, the whole town is not big, but it is not small, walking on the main road paved with bluestone pavement in the town, Zhao Jiuge looked at all the scenery around curiously, perhaps because the sky was gloomy and almost nightfall, Zhao Jiuge felt that Yuhua Town did not have the poetry of the small bridge and flowing water like Dongyang City, nor the scenery of the sunset, it was more of an earthly popularity.

Seeing that there were still many pedestrians busy on the road, or walking towards the town in a hurry, feeling the smell of fireworks in the world, Zhao Jiuge, who had not seen the world for a long time, was inexplicably happy.

Maybe these people are busy every day for life, but at night they hurry back to their homes, even if the residence is shabby and not so comfortable, but at least with the company of their families, the family gathering, then no matter how tired they are during the day, they must be willing, because they have happiness.

Once upon a time, Zhao Jiuge was also one of them, running around for life, but how could he have been happy, and where was his home.

Fortunately, God took pity on him and let him embark on this road of no return, no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead was, but he had a goal, motivation, and desire in his heart.

On both sides of the road are small buildings along the road, some are private houses, some are some hotel grocery stores, the home is in good condition, at this time the kerosene lamps or candles have long been lit, and the poor family can only greedily enjoy the only remaining light before the night.

Aimlessly on the bluestone pavement in this town, Zhao Jiuge secretly thought in his heart whether he should go to find the Yu family now, or go again tomorrow morning, logically speaking, he should go now, but Zhao Jiuge was afraid of disturbing others.

After a while, both sides of the road were already brightly lit, and the lights in the inns and some snack shops were shining on the road through the thresholds in front of the store, and there were still people hurrying back on the road.

Grunt.

Suddenly, a slight noise sounded, Zhao Jiuge pursed his mouth tightly, and there was some embarrassment on his delicate face, it turned out that he smelled the aroma of wine and the smell of cooked food in the air on the road.

Originally, cultivators didn't need to eat, they only needed to absorb the aura between heaven and earth to solve their needs, but Zhao Jiuge hadn't reached that step yet, only when he reached the realm of foundation building, the foundation array in the dantian could reach the point of Bigu.

And Zhao Jiuge didn't eat a bite for a few days, and now when he smelled the fragrance in the air, his stomach couldn't help but make a sound in protest, you must know that when he met the burly man in the suburbs to keep him for dinner, Zhao Jiuge was moved, and his heart was entangled for a long time, and finally excused himself with farewell.

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Jiuge decided to find the Yu family now, regardless of how late it was, because he was hungry.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jiuge reluctantly withdrew his eyes to look at the people who ate and drank in the hotel, and was ready to find someone to inquire about where the Yu family's residence was.

Bang.

There was a muffled sound, Zhao Jiuge only felt that something had been bumped into his thigh, and hurriedly looked at it, it turned out to be a cute little girl with a ponytail who was a little greedy for the sugar gourd sold by the uncle on the road opposite the hotel, and her eyes were always attracted by the sugar gourd, and she didn't pay attention to Zhao Jiuge in front.

Zhao Jiuge thought that he and this little girl were both a kind of goods, foodies. Didn't I look at the guests in the hotel and didn't see this little girl clearly.

Thinking of this, a warm smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Jiuge's mouth.

The little girl was only five or six years old, not tall, and her head was on Zhao Jiuge's waist, perhaps because she saw that the young man was not a wicked person, especially the gentle smiling face that could give people a good impression, the little girl leaned up her neck and said in a small voice, "I'm sorry big brother." ”

After finishing speaking, the little girl lowered her head apologetically, her right hand was a little helpless and tightly pinched, and the corner of her father's clothes that she was holding with her left hand was pinched and blue because of nervousness.

There is also a dark-skinned middle-aged man standing next to the little girl, the man's face is seven or eight points like this little girl, but he seems to be tired, and his expression seems to be honest.

And he leaned over slightly, with a smile of Muna, and said with an embarrassed face, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”

said it three or four times in a row, and every time he said it, he had to lower his head slightly, but this couldn't hide the frightened eyes of the middle-aged man.

Although the middle-aged man was not good at words, he still stepped forward to face Zhao Jiuge, and at the same time let his daughter be half a step behind him, waiting for Zhao Jiuge's reaction.

It's no wonder that this middle-aged man is humble, it's just that he can't help himself in this world, and if he wants to live, he has to suffer all kinds of grievances and sadness, not to mention that he is a person who looks at selling watermelons and planting some heaven and earth, even if it is those rich and noble families, and the Wang shopkeeper who comes to collect rent and grain every time faces them, these people are invincible, but in the face of the Yu family in Yuhua Town, he is not stammering and laughing, so he would rather be a little wronged and laugh with his own grievances, rather than let his daughter suffer a little grievance.

And looking at the young man in front of him dressed ordinarily, but he has an indescribable temperament, he may not know which family he is a disciple, so he should be careful.

Zhao Jiuge looked at the hurried appearance of the two, a little stunned, and then began to look at the middle-aged man carefully. He was dressed in a washed and worn white vest, a pair of trousers with a patch at the knee, and two or three watermelons on the wooden cart pushed in front of him, with a layer of yellowed grass underneath the watermelons.

And the little girl wears this red floral cloth dress, although it looks fancy but it is already old, Zhao Jiuge understands after a while, it is probably a father and daughter who went into the town to sell melons, the man is in a hurry to go home, the little girl is greedy and didn't look at the road to see the sugar gourd.

Just when Zhao Jiuge looked at them, the middle-aged man probably saw that Zhao Jiuge didn't speak, he was in a hurry, and his face was even more frightened, and said, "This little brother, the little girl really didn't mean to hit you." ”

Looking at Zhao Jiuge's dusty temperament, unlike ordinary people, the middle-aged man was even more afraid of causing trouble.

Originally, Zhao Jiuge didn't understand why this man behaved like this because he didn't think it was a big deal, but now Zhao Jiuge figured out the original, but sighed lightly in his heart.

"It's okay, big brother, didn't I just look away and didn't pay attention to the road. Zhao Jiuge smiled softly and shook his head lightly, for fear that the other party would not be at ease, so he explained a few more words.

After hearing Zhao Jiuge's answer, the middle-aged man opened his mouth slightly, his eyes were temporarily distracted, and he didn't seem to expect this young man to be so easy to speak, but the little girl looked at the young man's very friendly face, and also responded with a lovely smile.

Zhao Jiuge stretched out his right hand and touched the little girl's head affectionately, hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, and then left forward.

Before he could take two or three steps, a crisp voice sounded behind Zhao Jiuge.

"Big brother, wait a minute. I saw the little girl trotting up with a big watermelon in her hands.

Maybe it's because the big watermelon is too heavy, even the little girl is very difficult to hold with both hands, and her voice is a little hysterical, "Big brother, please eat the melon grown by my family, it's sweet." ”

After finishing speaking, the little girl looked at Zhao Jiuge expectantly, and the lovely smile moved Zhao Jiuge.

And the dark-skinned middle-aged man just smiled honestly, looking at his daughter dotingly, and did not stop it, maybe the price of a watermelon can take care of his family's expenses for a day, maybe his family is very poor, but they are not stingy with simplicity.

"Thank you, little sister, you are so cute. Zhao Jiuge, who had nothing to reciprocate, could only hurriedly take the watermelon with one hand, and touched the little girl's head again with the other, praising the few words in his mouth, because he was actually a person who was not good at words.

Seeing Zhao Jiuge take the watermelon, the little girl smiled happily and turned around and ran to her father's side.

Then, in the afterglow of the hotel door, you can see Zhao Jiuge standing at the door with a complicated face.

In the distance, the father took his daughter to hold hands, pushed the wooden cart and walked slowly forward, walking towards the place where sugar gourds were sold, and the conversation between father and daughter could still be heard in the air.

"Niuniu, let's go, take you to sell sugar gourds, look at your greedy face. ”

"I knew my dad was the best. ”

"Haha, from then on, Dad will buy you sugar gourds to eat every day, okay little gluttonous cat. ”

"After that, if the melons are not sold, not almost sold out like today, will my father still buy me sugar gourds to eat? ”

"Buy, as long as the baby daughter wants whatever she wants, the father will do his best to do it without eating or drinking. ”

"Then when I grow up, I will buy sugar gourds for my father to eat every day. ”

"Haha......"

...

In the distance, there was a conversation between father and daughter, and the voice grew farther and farther away, fading more and more, and finally disappeared.

It's just that Zhao Jiuge's face is complicated, maybe the place where the father has a daughter is home, for the sake of the family, he can not be afraid of hard work outside, he does not hesitate to bow his head and bend down to laugh, and he does not hesitate to bear the grievances on his back, because where there is his daughter, it is home, and where there is a home, he will be happy.

Maybe it's the world to blame, it's easy to live and it's not easy to live.

Whether it is a prince or a general, an ordinary person, or an immortal cultivator with unfathomable strength, they all have some of their own sad or unknown sides.

Zhao Jiuge sighed lightly again, he can cultivate hard for the sake of these people, kill all the evil demons in the world, and manage all the injustices in the world, but in the face of the helplessness of this life, he can't do anything to change, he can only cultivate as strong as possible, protect the people he wants to protect, and do what he wants to do.

Life is only a hundred years, just a short life, and it is good to leave no regrets.

Zhao Jiuge split the big watermelon with his palm, lowered his head and tasted it with his mouth, he just wanted to say one word in his heart, sweet, really sweet, but the sweetness is not as sweet as the smile of that cute little girl.

In this way, under the cover of night, Zhao Jiuge held half of the watermelon in both hands and one hand, and ate it carefully.

Looking at Zhao Jiuge by the moonlight, he will find that at this moment, he has experienced a transformation from the breath of dust all the way, and has undergone a little change

If it is said that everyone in the sect seems to be immortals who are not touched by the fireworks of the world, then Zhao Jiuge after leaving the mountain gate is like dyed with the color of red dust and worldliness.

This is also the reason why each sect waiting for the disciple to cultivate will be released into the birth trial.

Under the cover of the night, a teenager was eating two halves of a watermelon strangely, and from time to time he made a crisp sound of biting down the watermelon, and headed towards Yu's house.
