Chapter 63, ten years like a dream
The white rat spirit carried the carriage quickly, and in less than half an hour, it had already arrived in the northwest of Chang'an City. Xu Ke vaguely recognized that it was the former Liquanfang. When the carriage stopped in front of a large mansion, everyone got out of the carriage. Xu Ke saw two tall stone lions standing in front of the door. A stone lion is missing its front legs, and a stone lion is missing a back waist, although the two stone lions are broken, they are still the same as they were back then. That mansion is exactly the Xu Mansion where he lived with Hu Yiyi and Yao Zibei in the past.
Yiqing pushed open the door and led everyone in. After the white rat spirit carried the carriage into the front yard, Yiqing took out a pair of "red haired gallbladders" from his backpack and threw them to the white rat spirit. The white-haired giant rat caught the palm-sized red-haired gall in one mouth, and swallowed it in two bites. It had a high head and shook it from side to side a few times in a row, and its expression seemed to be very happy. Yi Qing commanded the white rat spirit: "Shu hate, you have worked hard tonight, you can rest after eating the red bile! I will reward you with a few pieces of wolf meat tomorrow to taste ......" The white rat spirit nodded at Yiqing, and then crawled into the corner of the wall to sleep.
Seeing that Yi Qing had trained the white rat spirit to be so obedient, everyone was curious, and they couldn't help but admire. However, at this time, this group had just fought a big battle with the red-haired monster, and they rushed to Chang'an overnight, and they were all too tired. It was imperative to find a place where they could rest and rest.
Yiqing led everyone through the broken porch and scattered rubble to the backyard. Along the way, Xu Ke saw that the magnificent mansion of his own in the past had now collapsed and the building was already in ruins. It's not so much a house as a few huts built in ruins, and those huts are also built in the backyard of the house.
Xu Ke remembered that he lived in three courtyards with Hu Yiyi and Shu Hattian. He lives in "Honghu Ju", Shu Hattian lives in "Linglong Ju", and Hu Yiyi and Yao Zibei live in the innermost, called "Hazellinger Ju".
Yiqing seemed to be very familiar with the structure of this house. She led everyone to the middle of the backyard and made a distribution: she asked Dongshan and Beiling to live in two rooms in the "Linglong Residence". He and Murong Yan lived in the "Honghu Residence" in the east. And the innermost "Hazelnut House" was naturally given to Hu Yiyi and Yao Zibei. As for Xu Ke himself, Yiqing did not explain, but the implication seems to be, you can sleep wherever you like......
After the order was completed, Yiqing said: "Everyone is tired tonight, so go back to the house first and have a good sleep." There are beds and bedding in every room, and although they are a little simpler, they can be dealt with on the spot. After we have slept enough, at noon, we will meet at the 'Wenyu Pavilion' in the back garden......"
"Wenyu Pavilion...... Is it still there?" Xu Ke couldn't help but ask.
"It's down, but it was later repaired by 'you'!" Yiqing said impatiently.
Dongshan answered, and took Beiling, Xichuan, and Nanyuan to Linglongju. Although they had many injuries on their bodies, fortunately, they were only injured in the flesh and skin, and at this time the bleeding had stopped, and they knew that there was no serious problem. The four of them went into two separate rooms, and each of them lay down on his bed, and fell asleep.
At this time, it was still dark at night, and Hu Yiyi was tired and felt sleepy. Although she was very curious about this house, she didn't have the heart to ask more, so she said goodbye to Yiqing and the others, and Yao Zibei supported each other and went back to Zhenling Ju to rest. There were two small rooms built in the Hazelnut House, one for each of them, and each of them went into the house to sleep.
Although Xu Ke's bleeding from his left leg had just stopped at this time, and he had experienced a battle at night, his inner spirit was still vigorous. He couldn't help but ask Yiqing, "Miss Yiqing, didn't this house collapse a long time ago? When did you build six more houses in this backyard?
Yiqing said disapprovingly: "How can I have this kung fu! Aren't these six houses all built by 'you' yourself?"
Xu Ke was puzzled: "Didn't 'I' build it myself? Didn't I always build these houses in Xuchang? When did I come to Chang'an to build these houses?"
Yiqing said impatiently: "I won't tell you, now Sister Xiaoyan and I are going to rest, if you have anything to say, let's wait until after noon!" After saying that, she took Murong Yan's hand and walked into the Honghu Residence without looking back.
There were two houses, one large and one small, and Yi Qingqiang asked Murong Yan to sleep in the big house, and he went into the hut alone to sleep.
In a moment, everyone had dispersed, and Xu Ke was the only one left in this dilapidated backyard. He scratched his forehead, but for a moment he didn't know what to do. Now there are only six rooms in Xu's house, and there are already people living in each room, so he doesn't know where to sleep?
At this moment, the huge "magic cave" in the north of Chang'an City is constantly spitting black smoke into the sky. The billowing smoke spread endlessly in all directions, until it obscured the sky. Rao is like this, Xu Ke can also vaguely peek into the dawn in the east, has slowly risen, the ten thousand golden light jumped above the black smoke, shining on the boundless Guangyu, as if trying to pierce the barrier of black smoke and release a ray of light to the world......
Xu Ke scratched his head, bored, and had to limp to the "Wenyu Pavilion" in the middle of the back garden. He remembered that in the original back garden, there was a large pond dug in the middle, the water of the pond was clear and the bottom could be seen, and lotus flowers were planted in the pool. The rain pavilion is built on a rockery next to the pond, the breeze blows, the lotus leaf pavilion in the pond swayes, it is very good-looking. Back then, I often sat with Hu Yiyi in the Wenyu Pavilion, or appreciating lotus, or dining, or drinking tea and chatting......
He walked slowly to the middle of the back garden, only to see that the original pond had long since dried up, and it was full of ash and rocks, but the Wenyu Pavilion next to it was still repaired as new. He walked into the pavilion, sat on the railing, and looked at the dilapidated scene in front of him, recalling the scene of sitting opposite Hu Yiyi ten years ago, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion......
Chang'an was so prosperous and magnificent ten years ago! How grand and exquisite was the Xu Mansion ten years ago! On that day ten years ago, he clearly remembered that when he left
Before Xu Zhai rushed to the Shenwang Pavilion, he and Hu Yiyi took a seat in the Wenyu Pavilion, tasted tea and appreciated the rain together, and laughed together...... In a blink of an eye, ten years have passed, and now that I have returned to Chang'an, the scene in front of me has been shattered!
Xu Ke's thoughts fluctuated in his heart, and suddenly a dreamlike feeling surged up, feeling that everything in front of him was extremely unreal. He even wondered if all of this had really happened......
Otherwise, how could this well-behaved world become a demonic world?
Xu Ke leaned on the railing, looking up at the sky covered by billowing black smoke, and still couldn't believe that in today's world, between heaven and earth, there are monsters rampant, and the only remaining human beings can only survive on the ruins......
"Xiao Wuxi, what are you doing here?" a soft voice sounded softly behind him. Xu Ke didn't need to look back to know that it must be his sister Hu who couldn't feel at ease, and walked to the back garden to find him in person.
Hu Yiyi walked up to the Wenyu Pavilion, helped Xu Ke down the stone pile, and said softly: "Come and rest with me, you are really tired tonight!"
"Thank you, sister!"
"I said, don't call me sister in the future!"
"Hmm......!
“......”
Xu Ke followed Hu Yiyi into the Hazelling Residence, and that night, he finally had a place to sleep.
Once he lay down on Hu Yiyi's bed, Xu Ke immediately felt a sense of sleepiness, after all, he was tired from the fight and running tonight, and he fell asleep in a short time......
I don't know how many hours I slept, but when Xu Ke woke up, he saw a lot of light around him. He estimated that the hour must be after noon, and hurriedly turned over and got up, and at this time, Hu Yiyi beside him had already gotten up and was not in the house.
Xu Ke saw that there was no one in the house, so he walked to the back garden, and just walked to the side of the Wenyu Pavilion, but saw Yao Zibei walking towards him, and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, you are up! How did you sleep this night?"
Xu Ke scratched his forehead and said with a smile: "I slept so comfortably! To be honest, since I crossed here, it was the first time I slept so comfortably last night!"
Yao Zibei teased: "Who told you to sit on the ground and sleep if you didn't lie down in a bed before?"
Xu Ke's face was embarrassed, and he couldn't help but be speechless.
Yao Zibei pointed to Wen Yuting and asked, "Brother Xu, I cooked you some food." Are you going to eat here, or are you going back to Hazelnut?"
"There's still food here!Then let's eat in this pavilion!" Xu Ke heard this, his heart was happy, and he responded immediately.
Yao Zibei helped Xu Ke to sit down in the Wenyu Pavilion, and he went to the stove in the front yard to bring a soup bowl.
"Brother Xu, try it while it's hot, the rice soup I made!" Yao Zibei brought the soup bowl to Xu Ke's hand and said with a smile.
"There's still ...... here Rice soup!" Xu Ke couldn't help but be surprised.
Yao Zibei said: "Yes, Sister Yiqing actually has a small bag of rice hidden here. I originally wanted to make a bowl of rice porridge for Brother Xu, but then I was really reluctant, and I couldn't put a few rice grains, so I could only make a bowl of rice soup. Brother Xu, try it, how does it taste?"
Xu Ke looked at the bowl of white thick soup in his hand, and couldn't help but take a sip, only to feel that the taste was fragrant and sweet, and it seemed to be even more wonderful than the jade liquid elixir in the Heavenly Palace. He kept smashing the taste, and when he saw that Yao Zibei was still standing beside him, he hurriedly said, "Xiaobei, you can drink it too!"
"I've already eaten it!"
"No, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy, if you don't drink, I won't drink either!"
"That'...... Alright!"
Yao Zibei sat opposite Xu Ke, and also picked up the bowl and drank a large mouthful of rice soup, looking at the expression on her face, she was even more intoxicated than Xu Ke.
The two of them shared a bowl, and you drank it one bite at a time. For Xu Ke, he traveled to this world, although it was not more than a month, but what he ate in his mouth has always been those fishy three wolf meat, and now the bowl of thick rice soup makes him vaguely recall the taste of his hometown. He grew up in Hangzhou and ate rice from the south of the Yangtze River. In that bowl of rice soup, there seemed to be the taste of mother......
"Xiaobei, what about the others?" asked Xu Ke.
Yao Zibei replied: "Sister Yiyi went out to find some medicinal materials to treat your leg injury." Sister Yiqing and Sister Xiaoyan went out very early, but they didn't know where they went, but Dongshan said that they wanted to go to the nearby Tianbao Pavilion to have a look......
"Hey, Yiyi is really, I have a little leg injury, and it will be fine to rest for a few days, why should she be so worried? The current Chang'an City is like a large waste mound, where can I find the medicine for the injury!" Xu Ke sighed softly.
Yao Zibei stroked his palms and smiled: "'Yiyi'? Brother Xu, you finally stopped calling her 'Sister Hu' and renamed her 'Yiyi'!"
Xu Ke's face was slightly red, and he immediately said calmly: "After all, she lived more than a thousand years longer than me before, so she should be called a sister." Now that she has become an ordinary woman, is it reasonable to call her 'Yiyi'!"
Yao Zibei made a grimace and teased: "Brother Xu, are you ashamed! Before, if you thought that Sister Yiyi was more than a thousand years older than you, you should have respected her as 'grandmother'! Now, it is obvious that you are sleeping together, and you changed your words as soon as you are happy, haven't you?"
Xu Ke said: "Xiaobei, I haven't seen you for ten years, how can you talk...... Is it so 'powerful'?" He thought of that Yao Zibei ten years ago, every time he didn't say anything, his face was already blushing, how could he expect that this Xiaobei now has become so spicy when he speaks?
Yao Zibei said: "Isn't this learned from 'you'?"
Xu Ke said in surprise: "Learn from me, how can I teach you this?"
Yao Zibei
Said: "'You' taught me a lot of things!'You' taught me the Five Potentials Sword Technique, but I only learned one move, 'Breaking the Water Potential', and the rest is too complicated! 'You' also said that I was too shy and too shy to speak, so I was asked to speak bolder and more straightforwardly. Now you dislike me for being too 'powerful'. Hey, be a man...... It's hard!"
"Really?" Xu Ke drank a large mouthful of rice soup, and couldn't help but have a little admiration for the "self" ten years later. He said in his heart, the 'me' in ten years is not simple, I can teach Sister Zibei to change as if she is a person......!
Yao Zibei saw that Xu Ke didn't speak, and something suddenly came to her mind, so she asked again: "However, Brother Xu, Xiaobei wants to ask you, why are you willing to share a bed with Sister Yiyi, but you refuse to share a bed with Sister Xiaoyan? You know, Sister Xiaoyan has always liked you, and it is also the intention of all of us to let you get married." ”
"This ......" Xu Ke fell into a speechless situation again.
"When you first came to Xuchang Tubao, our sisters were very happy! Sister Yiyi wanted to hold a decent wedding for you and Sister Xiaoyan, but Sister Xiaoyan refused to live or die. Later, when everyone saw that you were always sitting on the floor and sleeping, they thought you were too shy. I didn't expect you to sneak into Sister Yiyi's bed last night and ...... with her I said, Brother Xu, next, can you also go and accompany Sister Xiaoyan, she is still your new wife now!" Yao Zibei then said.
Xu Ke looked embarrassed when he heard this, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Xiaobei, can we stop talking about this!" He still couldn't accept Yao Zibei's speaking style, which was completely different from ten years ago.
Yao Zibei finally felt a trace of shyness, her cheeks turned red, and she was suddenly silent.
Xu Ke drank the last mouthful of rice soup, looked at the dim and turbid sky above his head, and sighed unconsciously: "Ahem! In just ten years, it's like a dream! I never thought that the world would become so unrecognizable in ten years?"
Yao Zibei replied: "Brother Xu, do you think this world is not good now?"
Xu Ke said: "Of course! In today's world, the devil is the sword, I am the fish, and we humans have been reduced to the meal on the plate of those monsters." The heavens and the earth are shrouded in black smoke, and the earth is not grassy, and you and I just eat such a bowl of rice soup today, as if we have drunk the elixir and jade liquid...... What else is there to say about such a world!"
Yao Zibei shook his head and said, "But, Brother Xu, the previous 'you' always said that such a world is also very good!"
Xu Ke was surprised: "Did the previous 'I' really say that......? How could he say such a thing?"
Yao Zibei replied: "The previous 'you' always said that there is no perfection in the world, and there must be gains and losses! Such a world is a little bitter, but as long as everyone can live together, it is also good...... Actually, Xiaobei couldn't understand why the previous 'Brother Xu' would say such a thing. But every time I asked 'you' why, 'you' would smile and refuse to say more......"
Xu Ke scratched his forehead, he really had too many questions about the "self" ten years later. He pondered for a moment, then asked, "So, Xiaobei, since he thinks it's good to live in such a demonic world, why do he want to leave you and just go to Heaven by himself?"
"Well...... It's a long story, 'Brother Xu' is thinking......" Yao Zibei was about to answer, but he heard Yiqing's shout from the front yard: "We're back! Come on, come on!
Yao Zibei hurriedly got up, helped Xu Ke to walk down the Wenyu Pavilion quickly, and rushed to the front yard. I saw that Yiqing and Murong Yan were struggling to pull down a thick black bear spirit from the carriage. The black bear's body was so heavy that Yiqing was so tired that he was out of breath. She dragged hard, and at the same time complained: "You big stupid bear, I didn't have much effort to kill you, but in order to pull you over, I was so tired that I almost vomited blood!"
Murong Yan next to her couldn't help laughing and said, "Sister Yiqing, this old bear is too wronged! It's all in your hands, you have to blame it for being too heavy!"
Yiqing said: "Hmph, it is a blessing to be able to give her life in the hands of this girl! If it weren't for its wood and wooden brain, it looks like that sick wood, this girl wouldn't bother to pay attention to it!"
"Come on, come on, I'll move, I'll move!" Xu Ke hurriedly stepped forward and took the black bear from Yiqing's hand. Although his left leg was injured, his strength was still very strong, and he just pulled the bear leg to lift it, and the huge black bear spirit was dragged out by him.
Watching Xu Ke limp and drag the black bear towards the stove, Yiqing couldn't help but stroking his palm behind him and laughing: "The sick wood drags the wooden bear, limping in front and jumping in the back, it's really ...... Good looking!"
Murong Yan and Yao Zibei also went up to help, and it took a lot of effort for everyone to finally drag the black bear into the stove and put it away. Yao Zibei looked at this giant monster and couldn't help laughing: "Sister Yiqing, Sister Xiaoyan, it turns out that you went out early in the morning to hunt! I heard that this black bear spirit has not yet been demonized, and that bear meat is even more delicious than the meat of the three big wolves!"
"Of course! When I get to my Yiqing's territory, I must let you eat some good food!" Yiqing walked behind the three of them. She took out a pair of bear bile half the size of a slap from her backpack, handed it to Xu Ke's palm, and said in a commanding tone: "You...... Eat it!"
"This ...... What?" asked Xu Ke.
"That's bear bile, it's good for you, eat it quickly!" Yiqing said again.
"Don't eat!" Xu Ke shook his head.
He suddenly remembered that after he was forced to swallow five pairs of long-horned essence elements yesterday, an abnormal heat surged in his body at night...... He vaguely felt that the girl in front of him seemed to be "not at ease" with him......
