At the entrance of the Seven Stars, the boys and girls stood side by side, looking at the hustle and bustle of the crowd, slightly lost.
Thirteen years away, the Seven Stars Group had changed so much that they hardly dared to recognize each other. The whole market town was much bigger and bustling a lot.
The Seven Stars Collection was built on the basis of the Seven Stars Square. The Seven Stars Square was just an ordinary second-class sect. Although it was famous within a radius of thousands of miles, it was nothing beyond the boundary of this thousand miles.
But since the Seven Stars Collection Conference, after the Supreme Elder shocked the world, Seven Stars Square has become the number one first-class sect in the entire Void Continent. It is famous and can naturally attract more people to come and watch. The set has become more prosperous as a result.
The boy took a deep breath, feeling a little bit timid about nostalgia.
Although he occasionally sent a few words or letters to his mother-in-law and mother-in-law with Miao Feiping, who had occasionally been down the mountain these years, he knew that everything was fine at home, but he didn't see it in person.
When I left home, I was just a child. Now I have grown up and embarked on the road of martial arts. I don't know if my mother and mother-in-law can recognize themselves.
"Brother Xiaobai." As if feeling the change in his emotions, Zhao Ya leaned against him and reached out to hold Zhao Yebai.
"Let's go." Zhao Yebai took a deep breath and walked forward side by side with Zhao Ya.
Not long after, two people stopped at the door of a small shop.
The shop has a small facade, but it is extremely lively. Several tables in the shop are full of people, and even the tables outside the shop are full. Not only that, but there are many people waiting in line.
"Is it here?" Zhao Ya waited and looked around, somewhat unsure.
I still remember when I was young, Uncle Yang went out here every day, and then the two of them would often be chased by Miao Feiping and a group of older children, and then hid under Uncle Yang’s wagon, and only dared to come out until the limelight passed. Then Uncle Yang will give each of them a glutinous rice dumpling, and they will eat it with relish.
Now the cart stall is missing here, but there is an additional storefront.
"It's here!" Zhao Yebai closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He never forgot the familiar taste of tea soup and glutinous rice dumplings even after 13 years.
According to Miao Feiping, the mother-in-law and mother-in-law have saved some money over the years and set up a storefront to make glutinous rice dumplings, and their business is booming.
When I looked up, I saw two busy women inside. One was roasting glutinous rice dumplings over a charcoal fire with his back facing them, and the other was packing up the dishes and chopsticks left by the guests after they left.
As if feeling something, the woman who was packing up the dishes suddenly raised her head and looked out the door.
With his eyes facing each other, Zhao Yebai's eyes were red, and he pursed his lips to prevent him from crying.
The woman was startled at first, and then showed a look of disbelief, put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hands, walked out tremblingly, and stretched out her hands from a distance.
"Xiao Bai?" The woman's hand rubbed Zhao Yebai's face, like a dream.
"Mother!" Zhao Yebai sniffed, "I'm back."
When the busy mother-in-law in the house turned her head and looked around, she saw the scene of the woman embracing Zhao Yebai and Zhao Ya, crying with joy.
Xiaobai and Xiaoya came back, and the shop closed ahead of schedule, which disappointed many of the customers who hadn’t eaten the glutinous rice dumplings in the queue. However, everyone in Duji Town knew that the owner’s pair of sons and daughters had gone to Qixingfang, and the master was still The Supreme Elder of Qixingfang, so although disappointed, no one dared to say anything.
As night fell, the mother-in-law and Yu Lu cooked and cooked a table full of food, and Zhao Yebai ate them hungrily.
"Mother, Miao Feiping said that you haven't changed much in the past few years. I can't believe it. It turns out that there is really no change." Zhao Yebai looked at his mother in surprise while pulling the food in his mouth. .
Thirteen years later, my mother is still the same as she remembered, and it seems that the years have not left any traces on her body.
Yu Lu touched her cheek, and glared at her son: "Why there is no change, they are much older."
"No, Aunt Lu." Zhao Ya shook her head on the side, "I remember you were like this when I was a kid. If we two go out together now, no one will believe it if it is a mother, and no one will think about it if it is a sister. ."
"If the two little guys put honey in their mouths, they will make their mother happy." Yu Lu lowered her head and chuckled.
She also knew that her appearance was easy to provoke right and wrong, so after sending Zhao Yebai and Zhao Ya to Qixingfang, they were all covered with a veil when they went out with her mother-in-law, and she didn't dare to show her true colors.
Even so, it still attracted many passing mad bees and butterflies.
It's just that those guys who dared to speak rudely to her often fell out of luck before leaving the Seven Star Collection.
It was enough once or twice, the more times, no one dared to talk nonsense in front of her. She didn’t know until later that her daughter was fortunate enough to join the elders of Qixingfang. Naturally, Qixingfang was so good to her. Those unlucky guys must be the masters of Qixingfang secretly. .
If not, how dare she show her face all these years
"All of you will only make your mother happy, so you don't care about your mother-in-law, right?" Mother-in-law Zhou looked irritated.
Zhao Yebai hurriedly said: "No mother-in-law, your changes make Xiaobai even more unbelievable than your mother-in-law."
Zhao Ya also nodded sharply from the side: "Mother-in-law is thirty or forty years younger all of a sudden."
When I left home, my mother-in-law was very old. Now that 13 years have passed, instead of being older, she is really young. Even her white hair has turned black again, and her rickety waist has been straightened again, mother-in-law. He is now a hundred years old, but in the eyes of unsuspecting people, it is 50 or 60 at most.
"Mother-in-law, what have you and my mother eat all these years?" Zhao Yebai asked curiously.
With the improvement of the cultivation level, the martial artist may be able to rejuvenate, and his appearance will be permanent, but his mother and mother-in-law are obviously ordinary people who have never practiced before, and what he has seen today is beyond his understanding.
The mother-in-law laughed and said: "Every day I have rough tea and light rice, what else can I eat? Your mother and I don’t know what’s going on. There are rumors in the market town that the glutinous rice dumplings of my family have the effect of maintaining beauty, otherwise the business can be so prosperous. ?"
"Is it related to the glutinous rice dumplings?" Zhao Yebai was lost in thought.
The mother-in-law gave him some food, "Does it matter, don't I know?" They are all made of ordinary rice noodles, so there is no beauty in them.
Zhao Ya said with a grin, "I don't know if the glutinous rice dumplings can stay in the face, but I have some fruits here that can extend my life."
Having said this, he took out eight spirit fruits from his space ring, and divided them into four to the mother-in-law and four to the mother-in-law.
"This fruit is so beautiful." Yu Lu stared at the spirit fruit in front of her, and saw that the peel was transparent, and there was even light flashing in it, and the fruit exuded a wonderful fragrance, which made people move their index fingers.
The mother-in-law said: "Where did this fruit come from? It's very valuable, right?"
"It grows on a tree on the mountain. I picked it off. It's not expensive. Aunt Lu and mother-in-law quickly ate it. It's good for you."
At the same time, Qixingfang Xingxiang Peak, this peak is the spiritual peak where the elder Guan Qianxing in the door resides.
Miao Feiping fled in embarrassment, begging for mercy as he fled, "Master, I was wrong, don't fight anymore, you will kill you again."
Although he escaped agilely, how could he escape the chase of his master.
Guan Qianxing was carrying a stick in his hand, and followed Miao Feiping like a shadow. He smashed the stick one by one, banging loudly. He cursed while beating, "You prodigal, raise this fruit tree for the teacher." It’s not easy. It takes only ten years to bloom, ten years to bear fruit, and another ten years to mature. The gang has only produced eighteen fruits, and the girl snatched twelve of them all at once. Jin Rou, my heart is bleeding!"
Miao Feiping guarded his head: "Master, you also said that the girl Zhao Ya picked it up. Go and beat her. Why do you beat me?"
Guan Qianxing said angrily: "Beat her? Do I dare? Besides, Zhao Ya's girl stays at home. If you didn't say anything, how would she know that I have something good? I won't beat you. Who are you hitting?"
Miao Feiping was speechless, and couldn’t escape. He simply didn’t escape. He turned around and knelt down in front of Guan Qianxing, crying and crying: "Master, the fruit is precious, and the apprentice is even more precious. You have no fruit. Ten years later, if the apprentice is beaten to death, where can I find a disciple with such a good aptitude as me?"
Guan Qianxing held up the stick high, staring in front of him.
Miao Feiping gave birth to two index fingers, placed them at the corners of his mouth, and picked them up, squeezing out a smile that was even uglier than crying: "Master, right?"
"Yeah!" Guan Qianxing smashed his stick again, "The fruit is gone if it is gone. I can't beat you to death if I beat you, but I just want to vent my anger!"
Miao Fei got up without hesitation, fleeing out of the mountain, screaming, "Fangzhu, help!"
On the Seven Stars, Zhao Yebai and Zhao Ya stayed for a full month.
I didn’t talk to my mother about the hardships on the mountain. I only talked about the interesting experiences on the mountain. She also said that she is now able to practice and that sooner or later she will become a powerful warrior. Yu Lu always listened carefully and looked at the two children in her heart A piece of satisfaction.
I never thought that my lonely self could see the two children grow up and suddenly recalled the rainy night twenty years ago. Time flies so fast, everything seems to have happened only yesterday.
After January, Zhao Yebai and Zhao Ya were about to leave.
The task of this trip down the mountain is to experience, although in my heart, I can't always stay on the Seven Star Collection.
At the entrance of the market town, Yu Lu and her mother-in-law sent the two out, and Qian Jingwan urged them.
"Xiaoya, come here." Yu Lu beckoned to Zhao Ya suddenly, and walked aside.
"Aunt Lu, what's the matter?" Zhao Ya asked, leaning closer.
Yu Lu took out a silk scarf from her sleeve, what was wrapped in the silk scarf, and handed it to Zhao Ya: "I ate two of the fruits you gave me and left two. If you can see it this time, If you Uncle Yang, give him this fruit, if you don’t see it... you can eat it yourself."
