wandering
Mirror Lake Street
Mo Qiuyan used her small change to buy a new set of clothes. The undershirt with the family crest had long been discarded. She quietly avoided the Wen disciples on the street, pretending to be an ordinary child and hurried away.
Now her name has spread throughout the streets of Jinghu. Almost wherever she goes, she can see members of the Wen family asking passers-by if they have seen an unfamiliar little girl passing by.
They were probably all heading towards the silver hairpin in her arms.
"Hey, you've heard about the recent annihilation of the Mo Clan in Jinghu, right?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Qiuyan turned around and saw a conversation between several people in the restaurant across the street.
"The Wen Clan of Mount Qi wiped them all out! They said the Mo Clan was causing trouble for all living beings, intending to frame other disciples of the immortal sects so that they could dominate the world themselves!"
Tui! Shameless Wen dog! Mo Qiuyan's eyes darkened.
"What do you think?"
"What can I think... Let me tell you, the Mo family had a miserable end. I heard that neither the Sect Master nor his wife survived. Their child is said to be still on the run. Look, the Wen family is looking for him outside..."
Upon hearing the news of her parents' death, Mo Qiuyan's eyes reddened, but she held back her tears, took a deep breath, and stood up to leave her seat. Jinghu City was now filled with Wen Clan disciples, and she had to leave Jinghu before nightfall and head towards Yiling.
Now the only suitable exit was controlled by the Wen family, so she didn't dare to go out into the wilderness. This wasn't the materialistic world of the 21st century, and evil spirits were everywhere.
Finally, she decided to take a gamble and stopped an old man driving an ox cart. She used all her skills, including her lifelong acting and debating skills, and even performed tea art, before she got him to agree to hide her at the bottom of the ox cart.
Mo Qiuyan: I'm sorry! I hope I won't drag you down QAQ
"...Little girl, can you hold on to it?"
The old man looked at Mo Qiuyan with complicated eyes as he ran around the ox cart and tied himself to the bottom of the cart with a rope. "Why don't you hide in the straw?"
"Damn, damn, straw is unreliable," Mo Qiuyan said as he crawled under the ox cart, under the old man's gaze filled with 'Why?', "Grandpa, help me tie it up. It's just a short distance, and I'll be fine once I get over it."
......
It was dusk at this time, and several Wen family members guarding the city gate yawned.
A disciple lazily said, "Hey, do you think that Mo's girl will really leave the city? How can a six-year-old kid understand so much?"
Qiu: Hey, you never thought my soul is an adult
"The higher-ups told us to guard it, so let's do it," his companion said after hastily searching a pedestrian leaving the city. "We came all the way to Jinghu Lake just to get what she's hiding. If we find it, we'll be rich, hahaha..."
As the two chatted and laughed, an oxcart came tremblingly. Several gatekeepers had been checking here all day and were no longer as strict and serious as they were in the morning. Seeing the old man's look of "so that's how it is", they poked a few times in the straw pile on the cart with their swords and waved their hands to let it pass.
Mo Qiuyan: "." Just now you were dreaming of getting rich and now you're slacking off. You are really something.
Grandpa: The little girl is only six years old and she is so foresighted. It will shock me for a hundred years.
After the gates of Jinghu City completely disappeared from sight, the old man helped Mo Qiuyan get off the ox cart. Mo Qiuyan stood up, patted her clothes, and thanked the old man. Just as she was about to leave, the old man called out to her, "Little girl, where are you going? You're still in the suburbs. How about I give you a ride the rest of the way?"
"Eh? Master, I'm going to Yiling. Is this on your way?"
"I'm going to Yicheng, so it should be on my way."
"Yicheng?!" Can a cow walk?!
Although Mo Qiuyan was confused, he still got on the car. After a few days, he successfully arrived at the destination and found that it was indeed "Yi" city.
Mo Qiuyan: “…” I thought it was an accent issue, but it turned out to be the second tone.
Yicheng was a long way from Jinghu Lake, separated by Tongling. The Wen family couldn't reach here for the time being. Mo Qiuyan planned to save some money and food here so that she could go to Yiling.
According to Mo Qiuyan's calculations, when she heard the news of Jiang Yuzhi's birth, her current body was one and a half years old. Wei Ying was a few months older than Jiang Cheng, so rounding up, she was over a year older than little Wei Ying... Now she was six, and little Wei Ying's parents were probably still alive. There was no rush to rush to Yiling. After all, Yiling was in Hubei, and getting there would require crossing an entire province. She could just move there slowly, arriving before she turned ten.
However, ideals are full and reality is skinny.
Life is not going smoothly for a six-year-old street kid.
The money Mo Qiuyan brought with her before leaving Jinghu quickly ran out. There were many homeless children on the streets, who saw Mo Qiuyan as someone who was easy to bully and often chased her around the streets, making her experience the life of a young Xianxian.
"It's okay, at least I'm not afraid of dogs." Mou Qiu tried to comfort himself.
Xian: Are you polite?
Finally, with time, Mo Qiuyan's constant self-comfort and her firm belief in going to Yiling, she got closer and closer to Yiling. Four years passed in a blink of an eye, and the Wen family gave up the hunt for Mo Qiuyan, believing that she was dead and gave up their target.
After going through so much trouble to reach Yiling City, Mo Qiuyan did not breathe a sigh of relief.
She is not the lucky one who can see the protagonist just by walking a few steps on the street.
But there must be a way out when you reach the mountain. As long as she is careful enough and goes to the streets more often, she will definitely see Xianxian... right?
It's been almost two months! If we don't find Wei Ying soon, he'll be kidnapped by some clan leader named Jiang!
Somewhere, Wei Ying: "A-choo!"
......
In the end, Mo Qiuyan recognized Wei Ying with the help of a wild dog, although that dog was the one that usually barked at her the most fiercely.
"What's your name, kid?" After successfully driving away the dog and gaining the protagonist's favor, Mo Qiuyan tried to communicate with little Wei Ying in a friendly manner. After all, this was the child who was most afraid of dogs that she had met on the streets of Yiling.
She couldn't imagine that anyone could be more frightened than this kid!
Fortunately, under Mo Qiuyan's gaze that said, "Even if you're not Wei Ying today, you have to be," the child finally whispered, "My...my parents call me Ah Ying."
Finally found it... Mou Qiu felt relieved.
"Well, are you interested in hanging out with me?" Mo Qiuyan's eyes were blazing. "It's nice to have a companion on the road to growth, right? (The following n-word brainwashing omitted)..." Ahhh, let me join the protagonist group, ahhh, "And I can help you chase away the dog."
Wei Ying originally thought that the man in front of him looked like a human trafficker, but after hearing the last sentence, he said: "!"
Favorability +10! !
Mo Qiuyan realized that after talking for a long time, only the last sentence had any effect: "......"
"Okay then!" Little Wei Ying smiled widely, "You have to help me chase the dog away!"
Ahhhhhhhhhh Xianxian, so good, ahhh I can do it! ! ! !
But I can't beat the piano player.
(Little Lan Zhan, who is far away in the Cloud Recesses, reciting the family rules: "A-choo!")
Countless comments flashed through Mo Qiuyan's mind.
"My name is Mo Qiuyan," someone started to act like a jerk, "Hey hey... little one, call me sister."
"...Sister Mo."
Xian: But she looks shorter than me.
Mo Qiuyan looked at Wei Ying's height: "..." Damn these damn genes.
......
In short, after finding the protagonist, Mo Qiuyan finally relaxed.
Although little Wei Ying was still a little wary of her.
After all, she was like a trafficker at the beginning, and she was afraid even if someone wanted her.
Wei Ying: You still know :-D
Mo Qiuyan was extremely anxious in the past few months. She was afraid that if she was careless, Xianxian would be kidnapped by Jiang Fengmian, and then she would have to formulate a new way to survive in the magic world.
In fact, Mo Qiuyan had thought about which family of the Demonic Path Grandmaster he should settle down in.
Gusu Lan Clan? Too many family rules, impossible.
The Lanling Jin Clan? They had no money, and their morals weren't very good.
The Nie clan of Qinghe? They can't use a knife.
The Qishan Wen Clan? They just came to me, didn't they?
Therefore, Yunmeng Jiang Clan welcomes you~
She can eat spicy food, swim, and has a cheerful personality. Isn't she a child born to live in the Jiang family?
Back to the topic, after spending a few months with the child, little Wei Ying completely let down his guard and treated her as a sister who, although she occasionally had a problem, gave him a sense of security (the sense of security came from chasing away dogs), which made Mo Qiuyan's maternal love overflow (crossed out) and she was very pleased.
A certain Jiang Cheng: You stole my job!
Mo Qiuyan: Shut up, you haven't appeared yet
The only regret was that one day she and Xianzi separated, but Xianzi returned with a small rattle. When Mo Qiuyan asked, Wei Ying told Mo Qiuyan that he had met a brother wearing white clothes and a cloth wrapped around his forehead, and gave him a rattle, which made Mo Qiuyan go crazy.
Aaaaaaa, I missed the famous scene of Wangxian's first meeting Aa ...
Wei Ying: “???”
Let's look at Wei Ying's perspective:
Someone looked hopeless and cried loudly, shaking him from time to time and mumbling things like "Wangxian wuwuwu"...
Wei Ying: “.” I’m afraid my cheap (senior) sister is suffering from a serious illness.
......
Yiling is located in the southern region and has a subtropical monsoon climate with hot and rainy summers and mild and humid winters.
Mo Qiuyan now wants to give a big beating to the person who summed up this sentence.
Her head is about to freeze off, and you call the winter temperature here mild?!
It's snowing.
But she actually had a vague expectation.
The following is the original text: [The child wore only a single shirt and thin pants, his knees tattered, and two different shoes that didn't fit him. He was buried in a pile of fruit peels when Jiang Fengmian called him. He remembered that his name contained the character "Ying," so he looked up. When he did, his cheeks were red and cracked from the cold, yet a smile formed on his face.]
May I ask what you all see from this?
That’s right, little Wei Ying was picked up in winter!
She specifically asked Wei Ying about this, as he was nine years old, and she was about to infiltrate the Jiang family!
Main Storyline!!!! Here I come——
She was sure that Wei Wuxian would not be so mean as to leave her alone in Yiling and run away with Jiang Fengmian.
You can always trust the protagonist!
......
There was a slight difference when Jiang Fengmian found Wei Ying among a group of children.
The other children were wearing thin clothes, but this child who looked very similar to his old friend had an extra cotton coat (Mo Qiuyan: Are you surprised? He bought it with the small change he had hidden in the bottom of the box for four years). He looked very healthy and had a smile on his face from beginning to end.
Someone is taking care of him. Jiang Fengmian was surprised, and then began to think about how to thank that person (Qiu: No need to thank me, just take me back).
At this time, Wei Ying was looking for food next to the garbage dump. When Jiang Fengmian was about to call his name for final confirmation, a voice came faster than his.
"Aying!"
Mo Qiuyan squeezed out from the crowd and pointed at little Wei Ying: "Let go of that fruit peel!"
Jiang Fengmian also turned his head to look, only to see a thin girl emerging from the crowd. She looked familiar to him somewhere, but he couldn't quite place her. The girl ran over to Wei Ying, swatted the blackened fruit peel from his hand, and thrust a steaming hot steamed bun into his.
"Why are you eating rotten fruit peels in the middle of winter? They're all moldy and full of fungi. I'll get diarrhea and runny noses. It's better not to eat them."
"...Oh. Sis, do you want to eat?"
"Be good, sister won't eat, you are the protagonist so eat more."
Wei Ying: "...Sister, don't be so stubborn. I'll give you half." If you want to pretend, just look away first. Your eyeballs are about to bounce back.
Jiang Fengmian chuckled as he watched the two of them being united, friendly, and yielding to each other.
"Aying."
The two people chewing steamed buns turned around at the same time. Looking at the purple-clothed man in front of him, Wei Ying looked puzzled: "Do you know my name?" Mo Qiuyan was also confused on the surface, but in his heart he was dancing: "Haha ...
Jiang Fengmian extended his hand to Wei Wuxian. "I am an old friend of your father's. Ah Ying, will you follow me into the Jiang Clan?"
......
In short, Mo Qiuyan legitimately benefited from Wei Ying's help and ended his miserable childhood. At the request of little Wei Ying, he was taken back to Lotus Pier by Jiang Fengmian.
