After a while, the old woman led Ah Zhu and handed her to Xia Xiao. This sad scene of parting had a different meaning, as if she was selling her own granddaughter.

"Sir, I'm sorry to bother you. If Ah Zhu doesn't obey, you can teach her a lesson on my behalf. She won't dare to fight back!"

The old woman was reluctant to beat Ah Zhu, she felt sorry for the girl. But seeing Ah Zhu crying like this, would Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang find her annoying? This was the problem the old woman was worried about. Ah Zhu had to leave here, and before going to a new environment, she needed Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang to take care of her, at least they couldn't leave Ah Zhu behind. If she had some skills and was from a wealthy family, how could she let Ah Zhu take such a risk? Unfortunately, she was just an ordinary old woman in the mountain village.

"Don't worry, we will take Ah Zhu to a safe place!"

Although Shu Shuang didn't like Ah Zhu, she still put an ointment on Ah Zhu while Xia Xiao was talking. It was all purple, and it would probably take several days to heal.

Xia Xiao formed a seal with his hands, and when Ju Mang appeared, the old woman and Ah Zhu jumped. But the latter's eyes were more excited and curious. Xia Xiao was not unfamiliar with that kind of look. When he couldn't feel the vitality, he also watched the people around him forming the spiritual seal, eagerly like a person who hadn't eaten for eight lifetimes smelling the aroma of meat.

"It's getting late, let's set off now!"

Wings grew on Xia Xiao's back, but without a carriage, how could he get out of the mountain through this small path?

The old woman hesitated for a long time and looked for a long time, feeling a little confused, but she was too embarrassed to ask, for fear of offending these two winged adults. Ah Zhu scratched her head, her amber eyes were all attracted by the wings behind Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang. These leaf-like wings and white-red feathers were like Doudou scratching her heart with its furry tail, making her extremely curious.

"My shoulders are broad enough for you to sit on."

As Ju Mang spoke, he flew steadily and landed beside Ah Zhu. Ah Zhu saw Ju Mang, a bird with a human face, and couldn't help but reach out to touch him. Wow, his wings are so big!

"Shall I sit while you go?"

"Besides me, you only have one stupid dog to choose, but I advise you not to choose him. He is full of fire and can burn your clothes if you are not careful."

Covering his chest, Ah Zhu burst into laughter through tears. This bird man is so funny.

First, Doudou was placed on Ju Mang's back. Ah Zhu was standing on tiptoe and it was difficult for her to get on, but a gust of wind dragged her body and slowly floated off the ground.

"Grandma, look, I'm flying."

The old woman raised her head high and saw her little girl floating in the air like the two adults. Her wrinkled face was surprised at first, and then she smiled with great pride and joy. It seemed that Ah Zhu was completely different from herself from that moment on, leaving behind the earthen house, the small mountain village, and the deep mountains, and became the person she wanted to see the most.

"Go ahead, go ahead."

She raised her hands. The old woman hadn't laughed so happily in a long time. Ah Zhu knelt on Ju Mang's broad back, looking petite. She hugged Dou Dou with one hand and supported Ju Mang's strong back with the other, and shouted loudly:

"Grandma, I will definitely buy you some candy next time."

The old woman said yes, bent her waist, and waved her hand. Ah Zhu, along with Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang, went far away. They quickly disappeared in the air, like swallows rushing home, and became a few blurry black shadows in the old woman's eyes.

She stood at the bridge for a long time. It was her turn to wait. She would sit here for a long time, waiting for Ah Zhu to come back. But Ah Zhu would not come back today, nor tomorrow, or maybe next year, or the year after. Her current wish was to see her Ah Zhu again in her lifetime, but she didn't know if it would come true.

The old woman walked slowly back home, but her knees could not bend as she walked up the steps. At this moment, she thought of her naughty girl, who was as lively as the fire under the stove. After she left, she felt so lonely around her.

It took a long time to walk up the stairs. The old woman saw the old hen in the chicken coop and felt sorry. She should have stewed a chicken for Ah Zhu. She liked chicken feet and chicken wings the most, but time was too tight. What a pity! Her old teeth couldn't chew those things...

Several old guys in the village gathered together, shaking their heads. They were old, and their eldest sister was even more confused. They had raised a girl for sixteen years, but now they just gave her away. What a pity! Ah Zhu would definitely not come back. No matter how pure and filial a person is, once he goes to the outside world, he will never come back.

The outside world is a cannibalistic one, tearing away the innocence and childishness of a person. Only a body is left, walking in the world like an empty frame, and will never be nostalgic for the green mountain again.

In the distance of the green mountains and clear water, Ah Zhu's ears were filled with the sound of the wind. She looked back at the mountain village, but could no longer see anything. With a sigh, Ah Zhu wiped away her tears, and seeing Doudou leaning against her chest, she immediately comforted him.

"Doudou, don't be afraid ...!"

"Can it understand you?"

"sure!"

Ah Zhu looked at Ju Mang who turned his head and thought he was a little handsome, much more handsome than the guy flying in front! Why are you pretending to be cool? He is so cold and doesn't say a word to me. Doesn't he know that you can't leave a girl aside?

"My name is Ah Zhu, what's yours?"

"Jumang."

"What about them?"

"Xia Xiao, Shu Shuang."

Ah Zhu let out a long "oh". Xia Xiao sounds like a girl's name. Shu Shuang... doesn't sound good. It's even worse than the name my grandma gave me!

"Where are we going?"

"Linxi City."

"Is it far?"

"Not far, we'll be there in an hour at most."

"An hour isn't far?"

This is flying, not walking. Ah Zhu thought he could get there quickly no matter how far the journey was, but it still took another hour. How boring!

Lying on Ju Mang's back, Ah Zhu closed his eyes. Ju Mang was the one who was curious now. He had never seen such a careless person, who had no defense at all. If he were in the human world, he might be cheated out of money in a few days, and he would even help others count the silver.

"Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad guy?"

No matter where Ju Mang was facing, his voice could be clearly heard by Ah Zhu. When she heard it, she asked very seriously:

"And you are?"

"no."

"That's good."

Ah Zhu heaved a sigh of relief and lay down again. He enjoyed the breeze, but Doudou was still shivering because he was afraid of heights. Every time he opened his eyes, he was frightened and quickly closed them. He would open them again out of curiosity, and repeat this many times, but he still enjoyed it.

"If you ask me this, I guess no one would say they are a bad person."

"Then he can't fool me. I'm very clever."

Ah Zhu hummed a little tune. Fortunately, his grandma gave him a cotton jacket, otherwise he would have sneezed all day tomorrow in the wind.

Glancing behind him and seeing Ju Mang looking back from time to time, Xia Xiao could guess that Ah Zhu was a chatterbox. A girl with that kind of personality would never finish talking.

With just one glance, Shu Shuang felt that she had a rival in love. Although Ah Zhu was not Xia Xiao's type and could not help Xia Xiao, fate was always so wonderful. With that feeling, no matter what type she was, I just liked her. In that case, would Xia Xiao's eyes go blind? When Shu Shuang thought of the unused Day and Night Extreme, she was secretly afraid.

When they arrived at Linxi City, the horrific scene made Doudou unable to walk. He peed as soon as he stood on the ground. He was so scared that he peed. When Ah Zhu saw it, he laughed so hard that he fell backwards. However, seeing Doudou crying, Ah Zhu picked him up and comforted him.

"Doudou is a good boy. Luckily you didn't pee on me, otherwise that big chicken claw uncle would beat you."

Uncle Big Chicken Claw?

Ju Mang's eyes were cold. He did not return to the contract space, but came closer.

"What uncle? Call me brother!"

"I won't."

Azhu followed Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang and went to the resting place where more than a dozen people were standing.

"Aren't you afraid?"

"I am afraid, but since you told me before, I am not that afraid anymore."

"You are so brave!"

When Xia Xiao walked in front of Hu Bugui, Ju Mang stopped answering Ah Zhu's questions one by one. But she kept asking, who is that old man? Who are those young people? There are only men here, are there no girls? Ah Zhu was honest and talked a lot.

In this place where the air is blood-colored, the color of the sun has dimmed a bit, but the candle is still as bright as if it can light up the world, like a lamp in the darkness.

“Senior, there was an accident. The old man in the mountain village had no intention of leaving. He only brought back one person.”

Hu Bugui nodded, and when his eyes fell on Azhu, his snow-white eyebrows frowned.

"What's this girl's name?"

"Azhu."

When Hu Bugui heard this, he immediately waved his hand and asked Ah Zhu to come over. She adjusted her skirt. She liked the light-colored floral skirt under the worn-out floral cotton jacket very much. It was just a little tacky compared to the famous silk and gold satin that the people around her wore. But she never liked to compare. It was just clothes. It was enough to cover her body. In the summer, she often only wore a small vest, so her face was not shy, but happy. This old man looked like a big brother, just like grandma was the big sister in the village. Being able to talk to such a person would help her achieve her wish.

Ah Zhu had her own plans. She wanted to learn how to cultivate, find a job, buy a nice house, eat meat every three days, and eat chicken every week. Thinking of this, she was still a little greedy. Ah Zhu thought while looking serious.

"Hello, grandpa!"

Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang sat on a fallen rock and watched Ah Zhu stupidly stretch out her hand to shake hands with Hu Bugui. Hu Bugui was stunned for a moment, but still raised his dry palm. This girl is so interesting!

"Hello, Ah Zhu."

“Are you also a practitioner?”

Hu Bugui nodded. This girl was a little special. He couldn't detect any breath from her, and there was no fluctuation of vitality on her body. Such a person might be a genius.

"Then can you teach me how to practice? I want to practice!"

Ah Zhu's purpose of leaving the mountain village was not just to get out of the mountains, but to meet practitioners. There were no practitioners in the mountains, but there were in the outside world. She wanted to find a practitioner to teach her how to practice, so that she could become stronger and take her grandma out of the mountain village. Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang were the first practitioners Ah Zhu saw, but they were the same age as her and probably not that powerful. In comparison, this old man looked majestic. When he sat down, everyone stood around him!
