Yuehe Inn is the place where Xiaoxue has been staying since her parents died. It has been her home for more than ten years. When she stepped into this place again, her heart was suddenly wrapped in the ups and downs of life.
The warmth of being in this home, the happiness of being in this home, the hard work of being in this home... every scene made Yu Xiaoxue feel so far away. Although it was less than three years ago for her, she had experienced Yu Xiaoxue, who has countless deeds, feels as if decades have passed.
As soon as they entered the lobby of the inn, the two of them looked up at the inn counter not far away, and found that the person standing there was not the familiar Mr. He, but a man who looked extremely simple, but had a somewhat shrewd look on his eyebrows. A woman under ten years old.
This woman seemed to be the current shopkeeper of Yuehe Inn. Yu Xiaoxue's face darkened when she saw that the person standing at the counter was not the familiar Mr. He. She didn't know whether she felt lost because she didn't see her relatives, and her steps suddenly stopped. Stopped and stopped moving forward.
"Don't look at it. Although the layout here has changed slightly and has been repaired several times, I can feel that Uncle He's house layout has not changed. He will be fine!"
Le Yuan's right hand patted Yu Xiaoxue's right shoulder, comforting her who was feeling a little disappointed. It wasn't until Le Yuan and Yu Xiaoxue heard the exchanges between them that the woman who was calculating the account books with an abacus at the counter raised her head and noticed the two people entering the inn.
The two of them are successful in cultivation, and their steps are light and light. It is extremely simple for them not to be known by ordinary people. If Le Yuan had not wanted to hide his voice, I am afraid that they could even talk loudly between them. To the point where he is not touched by that woman.
"ah… "
It was obvious that when the woman raised her head, she was startled by the sudden appearance of Le Yuan and Yu Xiaoxue, especially Yu Xiaoxue's snowy silver hair and her face that was so beautiful that it was not like a mortal. 16-year-old Yu Xiaoxue The sudden appearance made the female manager feel that she had either met a fairy or a female ghost.
After seeing Le Yuan clearly on the side and the figures under their feet, the female host patted her somewhat plump chest and let out a long sigh of relief. Then her face was suddenly filled with a warm smile, and she looked at her with a familiar look. Zhu Leyuan and Yu Xiaoxue showed formulaic smiles.
"Two guests, if you want to be a top-notch person, you should stay in a hotel. This is your first time to Yuehe Village, so it looks quite unfamiliar!"
When Yu Xiaoxue heard that the female manager would actually say "this is her first time here" for a native of Yuehe Village like her, she suddenly felt unspeakable sadness. No one had told her that she had just walked all the way from outside the village. Recognition, this may be because there are not many people on the road, and more importantly, time has dispersed people's memories.
Le Yuan stepped forward and stood in front of Yu Xiaoxue. At the same time, he asked the female shopkeeper who was still at the counter: "Hahaha, boss lady, you are wrong. I remember the last time I came to this Yuehe Inn. Uncle He is still in charge, I wonder how he is doing now, is he in good health?"
Le Yuan's words were like ordinary greetings between fellow villagers. There was an indescribable warmth in his words. For a moment, the female shopkeeper forgot that she had never met the person in front of her, and she only felt that she wanted to continue communicating with him. .
"Look at what you said, guest officer. You must have come here three years ago. It has been some time since Uncle He left the Yuehe Inn. Now my husband and I are taking care of this inn. Uncle He is already free. Now, I am taking my children for a walk in the village! Sir, do you know Mr. He? "
At this time, the female shopkeeper had time to calm down and look at Le Yuan and Yu Xiaoxue again. Although Le Yuan did not look like an ordinary person and had an extraordinary aura about him, when he looked at Yu Xiaoxue aside, he I feel like I've heard it somewhere. That silver-white hair seems to have been mentioned by someone often, but I can't remember it for a while.
At this time, Yu Xiaoxue also heard something from the words of the female shopkeeper. She walked out from behind Le Yuan and came to the female shopkeeper. She looked at the face of the female shopkeeper from left to right and found that although the female shopkeeper was not She is so beautiful, but very attractive. With her smart, capable and eloquent appearance, she looks quite attractive in this small place of Yuehe Village.
"Could it be that your husband is... you mean, Xiao Shuo?"
Yu Xiaoxue's question can be said to be completely in line with reasoning. This old man He has no children and has always raised Yu Xiaoxue and her younger brother Xiao Shuo as his own children. Now he has retired from the position of innkeeper due to his age. Then the only person who could entrust the inn to Xiao Shuo was Xiao Shuo, who was regarded as his own grandson. And from this point of view, the female shopkeeper in front of her was Xiao Shuo's wife, that is, Yu Xiaoxue's sister-in-law.
"Xiao Shuo? Do you know my husband? He doesn't seem to have a sister... Sister? Sister!"
As Yu Xiaoxue mentioned Xiao Shuo's matter to the female shopkeeper, the female shopkeeper suddenly remembered what she heard from Uncle He and Xiao Shuo when she and Xiao Shuo got married a long time ago. Their family not only consists of Xiao Shuo and Uncle He, but it turns out there is also Xiao Shuo's sister. Unfortunately, she was taken away by someone who was considered a Taoist expert a few years ago, and her whereabouts are still unknown.
elder sister? Xiao Shuo's sister had silver-white hair, and she was regarded as a monster by the entire Yuehe Village after she was born. And when the female shopkeeper looked at Yu Xiaoxue in front of her, she couldn't help but give up the idea in her heart. The Yu Xiaoxue in front of her looked like her husband's sister, she looked much younger than her. It was really too You are young, but if you really follow the Taoist master, then...
"May I ask, is this young lady my husband's sister, Yu Xiaoxue?"
The female shopkeeper asked Yu Xiaoxue's young and slightly immature face with some uncertainty, fearing that she might ask the wrong person this question and make Yu Xiaoxue unhappy.
"Yes, I am Yu Xiaoxue. How is Xiao Shuo doing now?"
After Yu Xiaoxue confirmed that the female shopkeeper in front of her was her sister-in-law, her eyes immediately became much kinder. Aiwu and Wuxia also regarded the female shopkeeper as their relative.
The two women who got married immediately seemed to have opened up a chat box, and started chatting about various daily life events over the years. The conversation between the two women made Le Yuan feel that he had no time to speak, and he could not intervene in the family-related conversation.
But when the conversation finally came to an end, the old man He who took the child out for a walk came back with the child in his arms. He saw the quite good-looking old man humming a tune and holding the giggling two-year-old with a flushed face in his arms. Many children walked into the inn.
As soon as Mr. He walked into the inn, he heard the laughter and chatter between the two women. When he raised his head to see who his grandson-in-law was chatting with, he saw Le Yuan standing in front of him.
It should be said that Le Yuan's appearance was not much different from when he first entered this world. More importantly, Le Yuan's appearance made such a deep impression on Old Man He that he would never forget it. And when Mr. He glanced at the silver-haired Yu Xiaoxue, he burst into tears for a moment, and his tears fell to the ground.
Uncle He's tears seemed to have infected the giggling child in his arms, and the child started crying too. The scene of an old man and a young man suffering at the same time was really memorable.
Le Yuan brushed one of his hands on the child's forehead, and the child who was still crying suddenly stopped crying. A pair of big eyes began to look at Le Yuan intently, and he didn't look like he had just cried.
"Uncle He, I haven't seen you for more than ten years. You are still in good spirits and look like you are getting stronger with age. This is the day of reunion. Xiaoxue doesn't want to see you crying, so I have to wipe my tears!"
Le Yuan handed over a white handkerchief, and then turned sideways to let Uncle He and Yu Xiaoxue have a good meeting.
Over the past ten years, Uncle He's face has become more wrinkled, making him look older. As for Yu Xiaoxue, due to her successful cultivation and Chi Guanxing, she still looks young and beautiful. The traces of time have left irreversible marks on Mr. He's body, but they have not had any impact on Xiaoxue. .
The child was held in his mother's arms again, while Yu Xiaoxue and Mr. He, the grandson and grandson, were crying with joy. The old man and the young man were sobbing so hard that they had thousands of words stuck in their throats but could not say a single word. Come out.
The day of reunion is really too long for Mr. He. Ten years may cause death at any time due to accidents for the people of Kyushu who generally have short life spans at this time. It was really his luck that he was able to survive to see Yu Xiaoxue again. Being able to see his granddaughter whom he had not seen for many years before his death was one of the rare joys he had experienced in these years.
At this reunion with Yu Xiaoxue's family, Le Yuan seemed like an outsider. He could neither stay nor leave in the inn. If possible, Le Yuan really wanted to leave now and give the reunited family some private space.
While Yu Xiaoxue, Mr. He and the female shopkeeper were chatting about home affairs, Le Yuan's body disappeared from the inn in an instant. Except for the fact that this scene happened to be seen by the female shopkeeper, not even Yu Xiaoxue could see it at that moment. Noticed Le Yuan's movements.
The female shopkeeper looked like she had seen a ghost. She could only secretly mutter in her heart that this expert from the Xian family was unusual. His comings and goings were completely unpredictable. When she looked at Yu Xiaoxue beside her, she suddenly felt that she was destined to be a fairy. It's hard to find, so it might not be such a bad thing to have a sister who is destined to be immortal.
Le Yuan, who left the Yuehe Inn, came to the Chenghuang Temple that was built more than ten years ago, which is the Tianshi Temple in Yuehe Village that is now run by Xuandaozi. We haven't seen each other for many years. Apart from his hair becoming much grayer and his body gaining weight, Xuan Daozi seems to be living a good life. This Yuehe Village is a place of opportunity for him.
Because of the river demon in Yuehe Village, he lost his strength here for many years and almost died here. But it was also because of Yuehe Village that with the help of Le Yuan, he not only repaired his injuries with the inner elixir of Shark Spirit, but also improved his qualifications in one fell swoop. This repair has made a lot of progress over the years, especially in this full return of the Yuehe Village sacrifice. He took care of it, and his life was much better than before.
And when Le Yuan, his great nobleman, appeared, he bowed his head and bowed down like a god. He knew everything about Le Yuan, and wanted to entertain Le Yuan with good wine and food. .
