The spiritual medicines in the Great Wilderness World are very rare, so there is no grade, but the age can be identified according to the degree of vitality. The red Zhu Yuan fruit that Yang Zhen sent this time is like flowing blood, and it is also hot. It is estimated that more than 50 years of vitality have been accumulated!
Xia Xiao played with it for a while and said to himself:
“It’s really a huge investment.”
Yang Zhen was a good official. He didn't suck the blood of the people, but he shed his own blood without reservation. If this continues, I wonder what will happen in the future?
"Leaving tomorrow?"
When Xia Jinghong asked, everyone who walked into the yard turned their eyes to him.
"Okay! Shu Shuang and I will pack up in a while. Now that Longgang has nothing to do, it's better to go there early!"
When Xia Xiao left, the family dispersed, but everyone tried to be as happy as possible. After all, this was not a bad thing. All the young eagles will leave the nest. The sooner they leave, the wider the world will be in the future!
In the room, Xia Xiao was packing his things, and Shu Shuang was helping him. They didn't have much stuff, especially Xia Xiao, who only had a few clothes, some of which were really unwearable, but he still put them into his backpack. They would just gather dust if left alone, so it would be better to take them with him, as they would always come in handy.
The precious silk that Yang Zhen sent some time ago had been made into clothes by Xiao Rong and Xia Wan, and was now packed in a bag by Xia Xiao before being put into the bag. No matter what it is, it is valuable because of its scarcity!
Looking at the two large backpacks, Xia Xiao sat in the room and looked around the cabin.
Compared to the once luxurious Xia Mansion, this house was really terrible. The paper on the windows was tattered, there were holes everywhere in the room, cockroaches and rats lived in it, and some places were blackened by smoke and covered with spider webs. But it was this room that witnessed his rise and growth.
"If nothing unexpected happens, once I leave tomorrow, I'll never come back!"
Xia Xiao's tone was very light, yet a hint of sadness could be seen in it.
Rongcheng is not very far from Longgang. If you ride a horse, you can leave in the morning and arrive in the evening. But Xia Xiao will get a place in the local competition there, and then go directly to Wanling Valley. After passing Wanling Valley and entering the finals, he will go to the imperial capital, Zhenxun. There is naturally a buffer period during this period, but time is precious. Xia Xiao needs to practice quietly, otherwise the distance between him and those strong people will become larger and larger.
He has his own plans, and Longgang is no longer in them.
"No matter where you go, I will be with you!"
Shu Shuang looked at Xia Xiao lovingly. The latter turned his head, and the moment they looked at each other seemed like eternity.
"What should I do with this Zhu Yuan Fruit? Should I take it directly?"
After a long time, Xia Xiao asked. He didn't know much about spiritual medicine.
"It's best if made into a medicinal pill."
"Can you?"
"meeting!"
Xia Xiao felt that Shu Shuang seemed to be able to do everything, from threading a needle and doing housework and cooking to practicing fighting and making medicine, she was capable of everything.
The longer they spent together, the more Xia Xiao felt that his master was right. He had simply given him a treasure.
Watching Shu Shuang start to make the elixir, Xia Xiao began to practice again.
That night, Xiao Rong made Xia Xiao's favorite roast chicken and kept picking up dishes for him at the dinner table, as if she would have no food if he left.
The next morning, the two prepared to set off.
Xia Jinghong and Xia Xu were leading two horses, with Xiao Rong and Xia Wanyi on either side of Xia Xiao.
"Remember to report safety when you arrive in Rongcheng. It won't take too much time to write a letter. Then find a good place to live. You don't have to save money. We will return to the imperial capital next year and get back the Xia family's property."
"Actually, I'm really worried about you. You'll have to stay in Rongcheng for at least three months. You must take good care of yourself and remember not to get into conflicts with others. If something does happen, you must be careful. Now is different than before."
"Also, don't be too hasty in your cultivation. Some time ago, you always wanted to know what kind of abilities Ju Mang could give you. You have to at least wait until you reach the Venerable Realm. Do you understand?"
Xia Wan didn't say anything because Xiao Rong kept talking. Even though Xia Xiao was extraordinary, as a mother, how could she not worry about her child? This was the first time Xia Xiao stayed out for so long, and she would probably not be able to sleep for several days after she returned.
"Don't worry, mother."
Xia Xiao stopped and had already left the city gate. He just needed to send her here.
Xiao Rong knew that she had said enough, so she stopped nagging and just hugged Xia Xiao tightly, not letting go for a long time.
"Second sister."
Hugging Xia Wan, Xia Xiao felt a special sadness in his heart. He finally had a family, but now he had to separate from them again. However, in order to become stronger, he had to face some things alone.
"Soon we'll be able to go home for real."
Xia Wan's graceful figure trembled slightly, her nose felt sore, and a tear streak crossed her lightly made-up face. She hugged Xiao Rong and choked a few times. Xia Xiao had to bear too much alone!
They bumped fists with their father and elder brother, their eyes were determined, but when Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang got on the horses together, there was still a lot of reluctance in their eyes.
"Be careful on your journey!"
The response to Xia Jinghong was Xia Xiao's shout.
Two horses, one carrying a person and the other carrying a bag, went eastward.
Xia Xiao thought that separation would be a long process, but when he turned around, his family had all gone away, leaving only Shu Shuang in his arms.
They walked silently for a long time, neither Xia Xiao nor Shu Shuang spoke. But Xia Xiao would occasionally look at Shu Shuang, and from his angle, he could see Shu Shuang's smooth little face. After a long time, Xia Xiao's heart was slightly moved.
At noon, the sun was so hot that it was blinding, so Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang dismounted and took them to rest under a tree.
After drinking a mouthful of water, there was a loud noise on the road. Xia Xiao subconsciously stood in front of Shu Shuang and pulled out the dagger on his leg. But no one came. When he stood up, Xia Xiao noticed that there was a car accident over there.
"Want to go check it out?"
Shu Shuang was obviously a little worried, because she was a member of the Shou Church.
"Go ahead!"
Xia Xiao tightened the rope that tied the horse and followed Shu Shuang, remaining very alert.
On the road, two carriages collided, and the four horses lay on the ground in a mess, dying. Two carriages fell to the ground, with a corner broken, and wailing and children crying could be heard from inside. But the worst was the driver, who flew far away, leaving a trail of blood on the ground.
Shu Shuang ran over with an anxious look on her face, while Xia Xiao helped the people out of the car.
"Slower."
"Thank you! Thank you!"
The first person to be handed out was a child, about two or three years old, with a broken head, crying loudly. Then came a ten-year-old boy, and then a simple and honest couple.
Three men came out of another carriage. They looked sharp-nosed and monkey-faced, and didn't look like good people. They immediately started to curse:
"Are you driving with your eyes open? We've been shouting for a long time, but you didn't hear me?"
The man who was protecting his wife and children did not show weakness and started an argument, but he was obviously lacking in confidence.
"This road is narrow to begin with, and there are a lot of weeds on both sides. We have already given way. It was obviously because you were driving too fast that you lost control and hit us."
"Speak properly and don't confuse right and wrong. Anyway, you have to pay the money!"
The three men came forward, forcing the man to look at his wife and children behind him. How could he beat three people alone? The honest man saw Xia Xiao beside him and asked quickly:
"Little brother, you were right next to us just now, who is responsible?"
The three men also looked at Xia Xiao, but the latter just glanced at the person lying in the grass.
"I didn't see it just now, but if you don't save him, he's probably going to die in this wilderness!"
The three men heard this and ran over. Seeing this, Xia Xiao frowned. Since the first thing to do after a car accident was not to save people, he was really impressed!
"Take out something useful and stand aside!"
After Xia Xiao finished speaking, several people took out all the things in the carriage. Now the wheels of the two carriages were damaged, and the horses were also injured, so they could not move for the time being.
Xia Xiao cleaned the road and kicked the broken carriage wood boards to the sides of the road, otherwise a similar thing would happen again.
This car accident was very natural and did not seem intentional, and there were no cultivators among these people, so Xia Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
The Zhu family, the guy who put the seal on him, and the person who transformed into a human mentioned by the old monk, all these things made Xia Xiao remain highly alert, fearing that if he was not careful, he would die at his hands!
I walked over to Shu Shuang, who had used up all the gauze she had brought with her, and was now using strips of cloth to roughly bandage everyone.
"Okay, done!"
Shu Shuang exhaled, holding onto the tree, exhausted. There were nine people in total, all of whom were injured, and two were unconscious. Although they were not seriously injured, it took Shu Shuang a lot of effort to treat their wounds.
"Give."
Xia Xiao handed over a kettle, which made Shu Shuang feel better.
With her small hands, she gently patted her rising and falling chest, screwed the cap back on, and said:
"Let's go!"
A few drops of water flowed out from the corner of his mouth, making Xia Xiao laugh.
Shu Shuang stretched her neck, turned her head away embarrassedly, and wiped it off.
"No rush, let's camp for a night."
If Xia Xiao was alone, he would have left. At this point, they could reach Rongcheng in one or two hours after dark, which was not too late. But Xia Xiao knew that Shu Shuang didn't want to leave. In this wilderness, these guys were injured. If they couldn't stop the car, they would probably be eaten by wild animals at night.
"Okay~"
Shu Shuang was very well-behaved. She walked to the side of the road with Xia Xiao, where the three men and the honest husband were sitting, trying to stop passing vehicles. However, two hours had passed, it was almost dark, and they still couldn't find a carriage.
Some really couldn't help, as the car was already full. Some left indifferently without saying a word. Some even didn't stop their car, as if they would kill anyone who dared to stop them.
"Damn it! What kind of stupid people are these? We are not bandits, so what's wrong with giving them a ride?"
"that is!"
"Forget it, forget it. Let's go back tomorrow morning when the fourth one wakes up. We should be home in the afternoon."
"Alas, that's all I can do."
…
"Come and help."
Picking up the wooden planks of the carriage and pulling some hay, Xia Xiao used two daggers to light a fire under the tree, which was as beautiful as the sunset clouds in the sky.
I didn’t bring much dry food with me, so I handed Shu Shuang a rice ball, and that was dinner.
A simple-minded man on the side saw this and took some dried meat.
"Thank you both for coming today. Have some dried meat to fill your stomach."
The men over there felt a little embarrassed when they saw it, but they had nothing but a few pieces of bread, and they couldn't lose face!
"Little brother, you are heading to Rongcheng, right?"
"right!"
"Long-term?"
"What's wrong? Show us the house?"
The man scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
"That's not the case, but my brother opened a restaurant in Rongcheng called Tianfu Kitchen. Hehe, the store is quite big, come and have a seat when you have time! Just tell me my name Ding Qiang and I won't charge you any money!"
"Thank you very much."
Xia Xiao didn't take it seriously. Who wouldn't say such a thing? He took a bite of the dried meat and frowned.
