Chapter 138 Meeting an Old Friend
Cao Xin led them towards the village. Along the way, many people looked at Jiang Nanyuan and the others. Usually, no outsiders came to the village.
Now seeing Cao Xin bringing outsiders, especially seeing Jiang Nanyuan's appearance, they were all extremely surprised, and the expressions on their faces were as if they had seen a ghost.
"My dear benefactors, our house is in front. Xiaohua said you want water lilies, right? How many do you need? I'll have someone pick them for you right now."
Jiang Nanyuan thought for a moment. It wasn't easy to get to this village, and she had just seen so many water lilies in the sea. She held up five fingers and said, "Five." As soon as Jiang Nanyuan finished speaking, Yue Li immediately held up three fingers as well. "Can I have three too?"
Yue Li also wanted to study a few flowers carefully so that she could make some other medicinal ingredients, or ask Jiang Nanyuan to see if she could make some other pills.
"Okay, my benefactors, please rest at home. I will have someone pick them right away." After saying that, Cao Xin winked at her husband Zhang Daru, asking him to pick some at the beach.
Zhang Daru nodded and walked towards the Phantom Sea without saying anything.
After he left, Cao Xin went back into the house and took out a few cups. She filled them with water for Jiang Nanyuan and the others and placed them in front of them. "Thank you all for saving my Tingting and Xiaohua. I don't know how to thank you enough."
As Cao Xin spoke, she rubbed the corners of her eyes with her hands. Her eyes were red and she was so excited that she didn't know what to say. Seeing that the two children had become so thin, it was obvious that they must have suffered a lot outside.
She really didn't know how to thank the kind people who helped them, and she didn't have anything good to give away at home.
"Don't bother me, sister. We came here just for the water lotus. It's very valuable to us. We didn't really help Tingting and Xiaohua much, so you don't have to take it too seriously."
Jiang Nanyuan was telling the truth. They had only met them a few days ago, so it was not appropriate for her to take credit for it.
While Jiang Nanyuan was speaking, Cao Xin looked at Jiang Nanyuan. At that time, her attention was on the two children, and she didn't look at Jiang Nanyuan carefully.
But now, after taking a closer look at her appearance, she was shocked. No wonder everyone else had expressions of horror when she brought them here. She...she actually looked so much like the goddess of their village!!!
"You...you are the goddess?"
Hearing this name again, Jiang Nanyuan didn't know what to say. She looked up at Cao Xin, frowned, and asked in confusion, "By the way, you all say that I look like the goddess in your village. Can I go and see the portrait of your goddess?"
Hearing this, Cao Xin felt a little embarrassed. The portrait of the goddess was enshrined in the village chief's ancestral hall, and outsiders were not allowed to enter their ancestral hall. He had no say in this.
At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside. The next moment, a white-haired old man ran in from outside. When he saw Jiang Nanyuan's face, he stood there for a while, and then he ran towards Jiang Nanyuan excitedly.
When Xiao Yuchen saw him suddenly rushing over, he thought he wanted to harm Jiang Nanyuan, so he stretched out his hand to block her and looked at the old man in front of him warily.
"Woo woo woo, goddess, you are the goddess of our village, you are really back."
The old man didn't care when Xiao Yuchen stopped him. Instead, he wiped away his tears and looked at Jiang Nanyuan excitedly.
Seeing the look of astonishment on Jiang Nanyuan's face, he tried to push his beard and hair to the sides, raised his head to look at Jiang Nanyuan again, and even tried to take two steps forward.
"Goddess, take a closer look at me. Don't you remember me? I'm Xiao Liuzi! I'm the naughty monkey you used to pull my ears by. Goddess, come and pull my ears again and see if it still feels the same."
Jiang Nanyuan turned her head and looked over, staring at him carefully for a long time. She patted Xiao Yuchen's hand that was blocking her, and then shook her head at him.
Xiao Yuchen put his hand down, but still looked at the old man in front of him vigilantly. Did he know A Yuan?
Who was he? Did the previous owner of Ayuan know him? Or did the current Ayuan know him? Xiao Yuchen pondered wildly.
At this moment, Jiang Nanyuan walked up and pulled the white-haired old man's ear very rudely.
"Ouch, ouch," the old man shouted twice. After Jiang Nanyuan let go, although he was shouting, there was no displeasure on his face. He looked at Jiang Nanyuan with a smile. This damn familiar feeling, if she was not a goddess, he would eat shit himself!
"Goddess, you are our goddess!"
Seeing the old man's cheerful expression, Jiang Nanyuan also showed a relieved expression on her face. Then, with red eyes, she looked at him and said, "Xiao Liuzi, I didn't expect it to be you. You're still alive, but it's only been a few years. How did you become like this?"
Jiang Nanyuan pulled his hair and beard. When she first met Xiao Liuzi, he was less than 6 years old, but now, he has become so gray-haired.
As Jiang Nanyuan looked, her gaze gradually shifted away.
She was an abandoned baby in Phoenix Country, picked up by a woman, and grew up in a place called Xiang'an Village, which was a country with the lowest level of cultivation. However, Jiang Nanyuan had good spiritual roots since childhood and cultivated very quickly, so she was noticed by the best Anlu College at that time.
During this period, she practiced hard. Once when she was on vacation in the academy, Jiang Nanyuan went back to the village to visit her adoptive parents, but when she came back, she found that the entire village had been massacred. She only saw mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
At that time, she endured the severe pain and buried all the bodies of these people. When she was about to leave to take revenge, she heard a child crawling out from a house. The child was Xiao Liuzi, who was only five years old at that time.
Seeing that there was a survivor, Jiang Nanyuan immediately stepped forward to rescue him and kept him by her side until the battle between gods and demons. She immediately hid Xiao Liuzi. After all, he was her only relative, and she didn't want to see him die.
But later, I died, and I didn't know what happened to Xiao Liuzi. I really didn't expect to see Xiao Liuzi again here.
Thinking of this, Jiang Nanyuan's hands trembled slightly. She reached out her hand to touch his face, but she seemed to want to touch it but didn't dare to.
"Xiao Liuzi, it's great that you are still alive. What have you experienced over the years? By the way, what's going on in this village?" Jiang Nanyuan was very excited to see an acquaintance. The baby in her belly seemed to be able to feel her emotions and gently kicked her belly in response.
