The people here are different from those in other places. Even during the New Year, there is a sigh and lost expression on their faces. Many people unconsciously walk to the big pit left behind after Grandma Shi moved away to take a look.
There was no smile on his face, only sighs.
I remember when Grandma Shi was here, the water, electricity, heating and other facilities and services here were the best in the city, and the supply was the most timely...
But how do the people living here treat the widows of martyrs
Now, they have moved away...
All the special care here has also been moved away with the family...
"If I had known this, why would I have done it in the first place..."
"She's just an old widow. What's wrong with being nice to her? Will it cost you a few pieces of meat?"
"How could this happen if we showed even a little bit of goodwill?"
"They have to make the whole community like they are being raised by a stepmother... When young people in the community go out to look for jobs, as soon as they hear that they are from this community, they will not hire them... No matter how well educated they are, they will not hire them. Because... they have bad character!"
"What kind of sin is this?"
Everyone has a gloomy face, numbly pasting Spring Festival couplets, looking at their once beautiful and comfortable houses, now ruins, and then looking at the wooden houses they live in now... It still leaks from time to time...
Many people really regret it so much that their intestines are swollen.
Zuo Xiaoduo stood quietly in front of the old site of Grandma Shi’s house, as if he saw the stubborn old lady again.
Slam the door shut.
The scene of shutting out the wind, rain, and everything in the world outside the door.
"If I hadn't urged Granny Shi to move out, she would have continued to live here, and she might not have died..."
Zuo Xiaoduo was lost in thought.
But there is no answer to this question.
Many people noticed Zuo Xiaoduo, and some even recognized him. This child used to visit the lonely old lady often...
So someone came up and said, "Hey young man, you..."
They were begging eagerly, with pleading eyes, begging Zuo Xiaoduo to speak up so that they could receive the care and repairs they deserved as soon as possible.
Zuo Xiaoduo turned a deaf ear and continued to stare at the traces that had originally existed there.
“It’s the New Year… Happy New Year, old man…” Zuo Xiaoduo bowed deeply.
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left without any lingering feelings.
Behind him, so many people were begging and pleading, but Zuo Xiaoduo seemed not to hear a word.
Even the look in his eyes didn't change at all.
Life or death, what does it have to do with me
I'm not a saint, nor am I a good person.
Just as you are regretting: If you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place
As he walked along, looking at Feng Hai, his soul was inexplicably shaken.
Looking at this city immersed in the atmosphere of the New Year, I seem to be able to feel that my mentality is slowly changing...
It was a very strange and bizarre feeling, as if the whole person's spirit had been detached from the current space, standing high in the sky, looking down at all living beings, but feeling out of tune with them and unable to blend in...
Zuo Xiaoduo knew clearly that this state was very abnormal, but he was unable to concentrate and draw his mind back.
A long while passed, and the whole person was still in a subtle state of feeling dizzy and dreamy.
In the corner, an old man in gray couldn't help but be shocked.
"Is this... a state of mind that has been touched? The soul is reborn? This... This is not a state that can only be derived by geniuses who have reached the late stage of controlling the gods, or even promoted to the realm of returning to the mysterious realm... But how can the power of the soul be so strong in the Huayun stage? Oh no, how can Huayun's sea of consciousness control such a powerful soul..."
The grey-robed old man sank his energy into his dantian and shouted in a deep voice: "Hey!"
With a light rebuke, there was a powerful spiritual energy wave, wrapped in the power of the soul, which suddenly burst out beside Zuo Xiaoduo's ears. Then, Zuo Xiaoduo's spiritual thoughts, which had already become scattered and were about to explode, were retracted at the touch of a button and quickly returned to the sea of consciousness.
In the sea of consciousness, Xiaobai and Xiaojiu were trembling with fear. They sank into the sea of vitality and pretended to be dead.
It was these two who were just now absorbing the divine power and then absorbing it and practicing it over and over again.
Xiaobai spit to Xiaojiu, and Xiaojiu spit to Xiaobai again, they communicate and exchange with each other, and with each conversion, the power becomes more refined.
But after spitting it out this time, Xiaojiu suddenly discovered that there was a shadow of a sword next to him that was secretly intercepting energy. How could he not know that someone was stealing his benefits? He was extremely furious and wanted to go forward to fight.
This Wuming caused the power between Xiaojiu and Xiaobai to become unbalanced. The unbalanced power, because it had accumulated too much pure power, exploded in an instant, almost bursting Zuo Xiaoduo's sea of consciousness...
If it weren't for the gray-robed old man's extensive experience, who instantly judged the situation and released his spiritual power to help, Zuo Xiaoduo would have to pay the price of being in a daze for half a day, and his sea of consciousness might even be damaged, which would take a lot of effort to repair...
After all, it is the divine consciousness that has been refined through numerous times by the innate spiritual treasure, so it is not something to be trifled with...
Of course, the situation has changed again. Because of this incident, the small amount of spiritual power that Xiaobai and Xiaojiu exuded has become Zuo Xiaoduo's. It can be regarded as a coincidence, a blessing in disguise...
But as for the reasons and even the final pros and cons, no matter it was Xiaobai, Xiaojiu, Zuo Xiaoduo, or that grey shadow master, they all only understood the part they were involved in, and no one understood the whole situation!
The next moment, Zuo Xiaoduo suddenly felt clear-headed. When he opened his eyes, he suddenly had a subtle feeling that he was back in the human world.
This feeling is really wonderful.
Everything in front of me seemed to go from completely blurry to 100% clear.
Suddenly he jumped up and laughed out loud, "It's New Year's Day!!"
Before he finished speaking, he ran away.
The grey-robed old man wanted to come out and say a few words to him, but he saw the boy running away without a trace...
I couldn't help but touch my head and smiled: "Yes, it's the New Year... It's the New Year again..."
Looking up at the sky, too many memories flashed through my eyes.
"It's New Year again..."
After a long time, he followed.
However, although Zuo Xiaoduo ran all the way back to the villa, he did not go home. Instead, he ran to Ye Changqing's house to pay New Year's greetings. Unfortunately, Ye Changqing was not at home. He then ran to Wen Xingtian, but he was not there either. Young Master Zuo could not help but feel strange.
How come one or two of them have disappeared during the New Year
Zuo Xiaoduo was unconvinced and called Wen Xingtian, only to find out that Wen Xingtian and his brothers had taken advantage of the holiday to visit the graves of their fallen brothers.
By the way, let’s go to the Tomb of the Heroes and have a drink together with the brothers and get drunk.
Naturally, Zuo Xiaoduo would not be so tactless as to disturb the gathering of his old friends. On second thought, he called Li Chenglong again to inquire about the situation of Xiang Chong and Zhan Xuejun. Li Chenglong replied that nothing unusual had happened and everyone was celebrating the New Year at the Xiang family, gathering together and having a great time.
Li Chenglong asked Zuo Xiaoduo if he would come over too. As soon as he opened his mouth, another group of people took the call and invited Zuo Xiaoduo to play poker. Then Li Chenglong shouted anxiously: "Let him come, but he won't play poker... After playing poker, there are only a few cards left. He can put more than 100 cards in his pocket to cheat... "
Everyone burst into laughter, cursing that there were such shameless people in the world.
Zuo Xiaoduo yelled, "Li Chenglong, you have ruined my reputation. I will wait for you to come to me!"
Then he set off for the Xiang family's old house. After a tour around the house, he found that the Xiang family's ancestor, Xiang Kuangren, was indeed not there, so that the entire Xiang family had become a paradise for young people.
Zuo Xiaoduo didn't stay in Xiang's house for too long, and went to Gao's house. He also stood up and said goodbye after sitting for a few minutes. Gao Qiaoer knew that he had too many things to deal with, so she asked him directly if he wanted her help to deal with them.
Zuo Xiaoduo thought about it and said, “Let’s talk about it after the tenth day of the first lunar month.” During the years before and after the New Year, the most important thing is to live your life, and you can talk about other things after the festival is over.
Even for martial artists who have entered the Dao, celebrating the festival is still a very important matter, because... you never know when you will be lying coldly in the Jianghu, or shattered on the battlefield...
Therefore, every festival is worth cherishing, and Zuo Xiaoduo does not want to ruin it.
When I came out of Gao's house, I met Wu Yunhai whom I hadn't seen for a long time.
The two brothers Wu Yunhai were covered in snow and stood at the street corner, seemingly waiting for Zuo Xiaoduo to come out.
"Captain Zuo, do you want to come over to my house? Today is the first day of the new year. Let's have some fun and relax."
Wu Yunhai was very enthusiastic, expectant, and... nervous.
Ever since the last major incident in the Star Mountains, the Wu family has never had the chance to reconcile with Zuo Xiaoduo. From then on, Zuo Xiaoduo, no matter in terms of strength or status, has been like a comet soaring into the sky, and no one can ever touch him again!
Around Zuo Xiaoduo, Gao Qiaoer, Li Chenglong and others were like a solid wall of steel, isolating all those who came with ulterior motives or not.
Even if the Wu family wanted to make do, they had no chance and no room.
Even today, Wu Yunhai had prepared himself mentally and mustered up his courage. Even the entire Wu family had no intention of celebrating the New Year as they were waiting for the result of this invitation.
Zuo Xiaoduo apologized, "I have something else to do. Let's do it next time. I will definitely do it next time."
He laughed and said, "Happy New Year!"
They passed each other and disappeared into the distance in the blink of an eye. Before Wu Yunhai could turn around to speak, he saw Zuo Xiaoduo had already leaped into the air, turned into a stream of light, opened the space barrier, and disappeared without a trace.
Wu Yunhai's eyes instantly turned into melancholy.
He clearly realized that the Wu family would never be in Zuo Xiaoduo's sight again.
Originally, the relationship had been repaired, and there was even great hope that, like the Gao family, they could turn enemies into friends, deepen cooperation, and take advantage of this opportunity to soar into the sky.
But now, it is completely impossible.
And this also means that the Wu family will not be able to hold the title of one of the most powerful families in Fenghai for long!
When Wu Yunhai was feeling lost, he suddenly saw Gao Qiaoer coming out of the Gao family's gate. She saw Wu Yunhai and the others and couldn't help but smile: "Wu Yunhai? Why are you here on New Year's Day?"
Wu Yunhai smiled bitterly, took two steps forward, and said softly: "Sister Qiaoer, I really envy you."
Gao Qiaoer smiled sweetly and said, "It's just a hard-earned living, there's nothing to be envious of!"
Wu Yunhai smiled, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Sister Qiaoer... do you think our Wu family still has a chance?"
Gao Qiaoer smiled: "Maybe, everything is possible!"
Wu Yunhai took a deep breath and said, "Sister Qiaoer, this... I have a suggestion, do you want to hear it?"
Gao Qiaoer said: "It's New Year's Day, why are you making suggestions... Haha, I still have a lot of things to do at home, I'll go in now..."
Gao Qiaoer clearly didn't want to listen.
But Wu Yunhai didn't want to miss this last chance, he took a step forward and said almost pleadingly: "Sister Qiaoer, I know you are now by Boss Zuo's side, handling many things and many things, and you are already like a butler... We in the Wu family don't ask to be like the Gao family, but if Sister Qiaoer needs anything, or if you are too busy, we can help, but you have to obey orders, and we dare not disobey."
Wu Yunhai paused and said, "Free help, no questions asked!"
Gao Qiaoer's eyes narrowed, and then she smiled and said, "Yunhai, you are thoughtful, but look at our Gao family, there are still many people who are eating idle meals... There really is not so much to do... With so many idle people, how can there be a time when we are not busy?"
Wu Yunhai said with a miserable expression: "Sister Qiao'er, can't you give me a chance?"
Gao Qiaoer hesitated for a moment, sighed softly, and said, "Yunhai, you have already said so much today, I will not hide anything from you. Do you think... I have that kind of weight beside Boss Zuo? Can I just add another family casually?"
"If my Gao family uses Boss Zuo's influence to recruit other families, then will I, Gao Qiaoer... still have a chance in the future?"
"You've come to the wrong person for help!"
Gao Qiaoer narrowed her eyes and said calmly, "Boss Zuo's cake is delicious and huge, but the Gao family doesn't have such a good appetite, let alone the courage to eat it. If your Wu family wants to eat it... at least we, the Gao family, are powerless!"
Wu Yunhai's face looked worse and worse: "Sister Qiao'er, you are a big shot around Boss Zuo. If even you can't do anything, how can my Wu family have any hope? You..."
Gao Qiaoer's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and she smiled lightly, "Yunhai, you really think too highly of a weak woman like me. I am not calling myself a weak woman to belittle myself. In our small team, I am really a weak woman. There is no one weaker than me. How can I have any connection with the big red man? If you insist on talking about the big red man, there is only one person in the whole Fenghai who can help you at most."
"who?"
"Li Chenglong."
Gao Qiaoer waved and went back: "Happy New Year."
Wu Yunhai smiled bitterly: "Happy New Year."
Watched Gao Qiaoer go back.
"Then let's go find Li Chenglong?" another member of the Wu family said nearby.
"No need. Gao Qiaoer has completely rejected our offer to join us. There is no possibility of her looking for Li Chenglong."
Wu Yunhai sighed softly: "Li Chenglong hasn't even gotten the Xiang family in yet, how could he possibly care about our Wu family? This is a dead end. If we force ourselves to do it, we will not only offend Li Chenglong, Zuo Xiaoduo, but also the Xiang family. The Wu family is already in danger now. If we offend the three parties again, it will really be destroyed."
"Gao Qiaoer wants our Wu family to die..."
"Why… "
He sighed deeply, but still couldn't figure it out.
Before the Starry Mountains, the family had clearly made the move and even the decision to make peace, but why did they suddenly hesitate and back off at that critical moment
What a critical moment that was!
It is also a perfect opportunity when Zuo Xiaoduo is most vulnerable to death and in need of help the most!
And the result now is that the Gao family seized this opportunity, but the Wu family did not.
Originally, the Gao family and the Wu family had similar status in Fenghai, and both were considered middle-class families; but now, how much time has passed
The Gao family has become one of the top wealthy families in Fenghai.
However, the Wu family not only remained stagnant, but was even gradually declining, and the gap between them was getting bigger and bigger.
By now, it seemed that he had reached the point where he had sent the Wu family to be taken over by the Gao family, but Gao Qiaoer even disdained to do so!
"One wrong step, all wrong!"
Wu Yunhai was extremely depressed.
The people around Zuo Xiaoduo, Li Chenglong, Gao Qiaoer and others, are said to have broken through to the level of Yushen; although Xiang Chong and Xiang Bing are slightly weaker, they have still reached the peak of Huayun, and they are only one step away from breaking through, or just a thought.
Because they are all in a state of suppressing their true energy, compared to ordinary people at the peak of Huayun who want to break through but cannot, for them, breaking through is really just a matter of thought.
And I... am still only in the infant transformation stage!
Obviously, not long ago I was on the same level as them, but how long has it been since then, and I can no longer compare to them
Once the gap widens, is it really going to get bigger and bigger
Looking at the Gao family’s gate, Wu Yunhai sighed bitterly, turned and left.
He knew that Gao Qiaoer must be looking at him from the gate with the eyes of a victor.
Who makes me a loser? It's real and without any pretense!
However, Wu Yunhai still took himself too seriously, and Gao Qiaoer did not watch Wu Yunhai inside the gate.
To Gao Qiaoer, the Wu family was truly an existence not worth paying attention to; especially after receiving the benefits from the Moon Lord, Gao Qiaoer felt as if she had been reborn, and her cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds; at the peak of Huayun, she had suppressed the enemy seven times with an unprecedented result, breaking through Yushen!
"Miss, are you coming to the Wu family for refuge?"
"Um."
“… You didn’t accept it?”
"What the Wu family did was nothing but a betrayal to Boss Zuo. Boss Zuo seems to care about nothing... But I am sure that if I accept the Wu family as a subordinate family of the Gao family, then our Gao family will be excluded from the center of the group and will never be able to recover."
Gao Qiaoer said calmly: "Why, you are reluctant?"
"I'm willing to give it up! I'm willing to give it up!" This man was Gao Qiaoer's uncle. When he was struck by Gao Qiaoer's fierce look, he was so frightened that he nodded repeatedly.
"From now on, no one from the Gao family is allowed to have any contact with the Wu family!"
Gao Qiaoer snorted and said calmly: "Uncle San, if you do something like inviting a wolf into the house again, then go to the countryside and keep Grandpa company!"
After saying this, he turned around and left without waiting for his uncle to reply.
Behind him, a handsome middle-aged man kept wiping his sweat.
…
Zuo Xiaoduo hurried all the way, rushing towards Phoenix City!
Happy New Year!
I want to go home!
On the way, I received a call from Zuo Xiaonian, and Zuo Xiaonian's voice was a little guilty: "Damn, I just realized that today is the first day of the Chinese New Year... How about I go back to accompany you?"
"No need. You just arrived in Beijing. Why are you running back and forth?" Zuo Xiaoduo rarely rejected Yiren's warmth, still laughing: "I am very happy here. Don't you feel the festive atmosphere of the New Year?"
"Then you must be good and behave yourself, and don't cry."
"You are crying! You must have cried! Nian Nian Cat, I saw you crying, hahahaha..."
"Dog!!!!"
Zuo Xiaonian hung up the phone in a rage, then smiled and wiped the tears from her face.
Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year... Mom and Dad, I miss you so much...
Where's my red envelope
Well, Xiaogou is really heartless. He actually said that he was very happy. I'll make a note of this. I will definitely settle the score with him next time we meet...
…
Zuo Xiaoduo crossed mountains and rivers and really broke out his fastest speed and rushed back to Phoenix City in a flash.
I saw the house where I had lived for seventeen years.
She took out the key with a cute kitten-shaped keychain from the ring, opened the door and walked in.
The room was filled with silence, which was totally out of tune with the noisy atmosphere outside.
Zuo Xiaoduo sat quietly in his parents' room for a while, then ran out and bought Spring Festival couplets, blessing characters, and many other New Year goods. When he returned home, he took off last year's couplets and pasted new ones, which immediately filled the whole room with a festive atmosphere.
Then they lit up many of the firecrackers they had just bought outside the community. It was really a great celebration.
I was jumping and dancing by myself, covering my ears and shouting.
"It's Chinese New Year! It's Chinese New Year! It's Chinese New Year! Hahaha..."
Many people stuck their heads out of the windows and looked at the crazy teenagers below; although the atmosphere was noisy, people felt an inexplicable loneliness and solemnity.
He is like a person who is walking further and further away, but he is stubbornly saying, I have never left, I am always here, always that boy!
Some people felt that the noise was too loud and called the police directly.
But they soon discovered that the child who was jumping and dancing just now, the young man who seemed full of energy, had disappeared...
…
Zuo Xiaoduo came to Hu Ruoyun's house and knocked on the door solemnly and respectfully.
When Hu Ruoyun opened the door and saw Zuo Xiaoduo, she was really shocked!
"Xiaoduo!?" Hu Ruoyun's voice changed with surprise: "Why are you here? Come in quickly!"
Zuo Xiaoduo chuckled: "Aren't I here to wish you a happy new year?"
As he spoke, gifts piled up like magic.
Hu Ruoyun was busy cleaning up while complaining and scolding Zuo Xiaoduo for being wasteful. Zuo Xiaoduo just laughed and continued to take out the gifts without helping. It was not until he got here that he suddenly felt his wandering and lonely heart calm down.
The teacher Hu in front of him was the one who treated him the most kindly and without any utilitarian motives. If, apart from Zuo's father, Zuo's mother, and Xiao Nianjie, when it comes to the person closest to Zuo Xiaoduo that he could not give up, Hu Ruoyun was the best and no one could compare to her!
Li Changjiang came out of the room and chatted with Zuo Xiaoduo.
So Hu Ruoyun ignored the gifts all over the floor and went to cook, feeling so excited that she seemed about to explode.
Zuo Xiaoduo naturally had a dinner here, a very sumptuous dinner.
Hu Ruoyun prepared all the "most expensive" dishes that might not appear during the Chinese New Year and placed them on the table.
"eat more!"
"Drink less!"
"Li Changjiang, you are urging me to drink again! Xiaoduo is still a child! Why can't you teach him something good?" Hu Ruoyun looked at him coldly.
"Eat this, Xiaoduo, eat this... Do you still want to eat leek pancakes? You can't make pancakes in the first month of the year; you can eat them after the first month of the year. Remember, don't eat sesame cakes, don't eat any cakes, spring pancakes, pancakes, all of them are not allowed, do you understand? Remember?"
"This is our ancient tradition passed down from generation to generation... This kind of fried food cannot be eaten from the New Year until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month... You know? We must avoid this torture. Well, when you get married, don't forget this during the New Year. You must remember it firmly."
"Yeah, I remember that."
Zuo Xiaoduo's mouth was full of oil as he ate, and he drank glass after glass of wine.
Amid Hu Ruoyun's constant eye-rolling and nagging, he and Li Changjiang raised their glasses frequently.
Then... Li Changjiang, who had always been criticized for urging people to drink, was the first to get drunk.
Zuo Xiaoduo was fine, but there wasn't even a bit of redness on his pretty face.
"You are such a loser!" Hu Ruoyun had something new to say: "With such a low alcohol tolerance, you still want to show off... You can't even entertain Xiaoduo, what's the point..."
Li Changjiang, who was already like a pile of mud, said in his last moments of clarity: Your double standards are simply too much, simply too much...
He hadn't even finished his sentence before he fell asleep, unconscious.
“Hahahaha…” Zuo Xiaoduo laughed happily.
Zuo Xiaoduo stayed at Hu Ruoyun's house until 11 o'clock in the evening before he said goodbye.
Hu Ruoyun knew that Zuo Xiaoduo had a home in Phoenix City, and it would not make sense to let anyone stay there overnight during the New Year. However, she still gave him a few warnings and let him go.
Zuo Xiaoduo shook his head to force out the smell of alcohol.
Then he divided the things he brought into hundreds of portions.
I quietly went around Phoenix City and quietly delivered copies to the families of those who died in the Phoenix Pulse.
Many families only discovered the next morning that there were thick piles of money on their dining tables, as well as some spiritual cultivation resources, New Year's goods, the most high-end cigarettes, alcohol, sugar, tea, etc.
And then there was another note.
"Happy New Year!"
Two ten in the morning.
Zuo Xiaoduo came to Fenghuitou alone and came to He Yuanyue's tomb.
In front of the tombstone, the incense and candles have not yet burned out, and the smoke is still rising. I don’t know who has just passed away here.
"Granny He, old principal... I'm about to break through to the level of a god."
Zuo Xiaoduo lit some paper money and fiddled with it carefully, and the flame grew bigger and bigger.
"Long Yusheng, Wanlixiu, Yu Moyan, Li Chenglong, Li Changming, these guys are all doing well now... Don't worry, every student from our No. 2 Middle School is very promising. If anyone dares to disobey, I will beat him up!"
There was a creaking sound from the wooden house next door, and Sister Lan came out.
"Xiaoduo, why are you back?" After not seeing each other for a long time, Zuo Xiaoduo suddenly discovered that Sister Lan seemed to have aged a lot, and her originally jet-black hair was now gray.
"Auntie Lan, it's New Year's Day, why didn't you go back to visit?" Zuo Xiaoduo said.
"It's because of this new year that I'm afraid your grandma He will be even more lonely, so I stayed to accompany her!" Sister Lan smiled faintly: "How are you now?"
The two chatted for a while.
Look, it is almost dawn and the night is about to pass.
Zuo Xiaoduo is leaving.
Before leaving, he finally said, "Teacher Lan, I guess you can't stay here for too long. If one day you see a red spider lily growing on Grandma He's grave... the day the flower blooms, it will be time for you to leave."
Sister Lan's eyes lit up and she looked up suddenly: "Xiaoduo, what are you saying?"
"I didn't say anything!"
Zuo Xiaoduo said: "You just need to know this."
Sister Lan took a breath and said in a deep voice: "Can I still find her?"
Zuo Xiaoduo said: "Even if we find her, she will no longer be He Yuanyue."
The light in Sister Lan's eyes dimmed for a moment, and she said, "Then I want to see it, too."
"We'll talk about it then."
Zuo Xiaoduo used a drop of luck point on Sister Lan to confirm her condition, and he no longer had to worry. Sister Lan would be safe and sound for at least the next three months.
"I am leaving."
"Xiaoduo, take care."
…
Zuo Xiaoduo finally came to the location of the original headquarters building of the Meng Group, which is now the center of the Phoenix City tourist attraction lake. He stayed there for a while and finally left silently.
There was no conversation along the way, and we returned to Fenghai.
Just by walking back and forth like this, Zuo Xiaoduo clearly felt that he seemed to have grown up a lot in an instant.
My mood also became calmer.
Although, he is still that young boy!
“Oh my… growing up is so annoying…”
Zuo Xiaoduo was flying in the air, pulling his hair and yelling.
Behind him, the old man in gray followed him all the time. With his extraordinary cultivation, he naturally did not expect to be discovered by Zuo Xiaoduo. He followed him all the way, watching Zuo Xiaoduo go home, watching him make trouble, watching him drink, watching him set off firecrackers, watching him sweep the graves, watching him give New Year's gifts and gifts to many families...
The fondness in his eyes grew stronger and stronger.
"This little thing has a really good character, but it's too soft-hearted. This is an advantage but can also be considered a disadvantage."
“But overall it’s pretty good.”
"It's a good child."
"But how could Zuo Changchang give birth to such a good son? It's obvious that he got the good DNA from my daughter!"
"Just look at the name, what a crappy name! Zuo Changchang... Aside from the fact that your knife is pretty long, what else is long about you?"
"Legend has it that a person's name ultimately indicates something; if Zuo Changchang is a long knife, then what is Zuo Xiaoduo? Blessings, luck, benefits, treasures... all a bit like Xiaoduo?"
"Speaking of which, this little fellow is also quite lucky. He has so many Mysterious Ice and Ice Soul treasures. If the Great Ice and Dark Wizard saw them, he would probably be jealous to death!"
“But your character is too kindhearted. It needs some polishing. If you are so soft-hearted, you will definitely suffer in the future.” The old man touched his chin and murmured softly.
…
Zuo Xiaoduo was about to arrive at Fenghai when he suddenly felt emotional and couldn't help but sigh to the sky.
"New Year's Eve is so boring! So boring!"
Fortunately, we haven't entered the city yet, otherwise, with just this one voice, we might have been disturbed by someone singing!
"Bored? How about something interesting?" A eerie voice suddenly came from behind, interrupting someone's whining.
"who?!"
Zuo Xiaoduo was shocked!
Even with my current profound cultivation, I didn’t even notice that someone was following me!
Oh my god!
So scary!
Looking back, I saw an old man in gray clothes who looked to be about sixty or seventy years old. He was a little hunched over and his hair was a little gray, but overall he looked very tall, strong and sturdy.
It’s just that the other person had a sinister smile on his face, sinister eyes, sinister gaze, sinister face, and sinister everything about him.
Zuo Xiaoduo's eyes were focused on the sinister smile on the other person's lips.
"This person is definitely not a good person!" This was Zuo Xiaoduo's first thought.
Then the second year it was: "I probably can't beat this guy."
Young Master Zuo, who always plans before taking action and is extremely afraid of death, just threw a luck point over, but what the hell, nothing
Isn't that much higher than me
"Looking at his physical signs, he is 99% likely to be a high-end fighter of the Wu Alliance!"
Zuo Xiaoduo's mind raced, and he suddenly burst into laughter. He stood with his left hand behind his back, pointed at the mountains in front of him with his right hand, and said with a smile: "Old man, it is fate that we meet."
The old man tilted his head: "Oh?"
"Old man, look, those mountains in the distance look like a sleeping dragon from ancient times, majestic and majestic, don't they?"
Zuo Xiaoduo sighed, and without waiting for an answer, he said directly: "Thinking of the ancient times, how many powerful people could never wake up again after making a mistake. Especially during this Chinese New Year, I always have a lot of feelings."
The old man was slightly surprised and asked, "Oh?"
Zuo Xiaoduo said sadly: "At this moment, seeing these, I can't help but want to... recite a poem."
"Recite a poem?" The old man looked more and more confused.
I'm afraid my grandson might have some brain problems
I clearly appeared with the aura of an enemy and had bad intentions, but after seeing me, you actually wanted to recite a poem
What's your train of thought
Zuo Xiaoduo still had a melancholy and scholarly look on his face. He pointed at the dark mountains in the distance and chanted in a long voice: "From a distance, the black mountains look like soaring dragons.
