Chapter 778 Return to Nantuo Village

Xingxing and her team headed north, and when they were almost at the state capital where Mapo County was located, the team made a slight turn and went to Mapo County.

Wei Shiyan went back to the mountain and got some things.

Wei Shiyan also took out the Phoenix Lantern that Xingxing had given him, and planned to go to Mapo County to find an escort agency to send it to the capital.

As expected, the old Taoist priest Qin Da Gongfeng was not in the mountains. He left a letter for Wei Shiyan in his residence in the mountains, saying that if Wei Shiyan came back and saw the letter, he should just go to the capital, and he would go to the capital to find him then.

Accompanied by Xingxing, Wei Shiyan took a last look at the small courtyard in the mountains, took a box, and left without looking back.

Yu Yonggui thought that since he was already here and hadn't been back to Nantuo Village for a long time, he might as well go back to Nantuo Village and burn some incense for his ancestors before leaving.

The group returned to the village.

When Yu Yonggui and his team entered the village, the carriage was spotted by children playing at the entrance of the village. They surrounded them curiously and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Xingxing didn't ride a horse. She opened the curtain and looked at the children with a smile. She recognized a few of them: "You are Xiaomei from Sister Qin's family, right?... You are the grandson of Grandma Sun's family in the west of the village. And you, according to your generation, you should call me little aunt... I haven't seen you for a few years. You have grown up so much?"

Several children stared at Xing Xing blankly.

When Xingxing left the capital, her appearance had not yet fully developed. But in the past three years, she has grown up a lot. Her originally sweet and lovely appearance has now taken on a bit of the charm of a grown-up girl. It is natural that the children in the village cannot recognize her.

They were all stunned!

This fairy-like sister actually knows everything about them!

"Who are you?"

Among them, Xiaomei from Sister Qin's family is the oldest, and she is already nine years old this year. She stammered, "How do you know us?"

Xing Xing smiled and said, "Xiao Mei, don't you remember me? I'm Sister Xing Xing."

Xiaomei was stunned for a while. She was still young when Xingxing went to the capital. Now several years have passed. She really thought about it for a long time.

Xingxing just kept looking at her with a smile.

However, the villagers nearby came over to see what was going on. When they heard Xiaomei mumbling "Sister Xingxing", they reacted faster.

The villagers looked at the smiling girl, took a deep breath, and subconsciously widened their eyes: "...Is it Xingxing from the Yu family?"

Xing Xing smiled and said, "Auntie Xianglan, it's me."

Villager Li Xianglan was surprised and delighted: "Oh, it's Xingxing! It's really Xingxing!... I haven't seen you for a few years, Xingxing, you've grown into a fairy!"

Li Xianglan slapped her thigh excitedly. "Since you went to the capital, you haven't been back for several years, right?... Why did you come back suddenly? Are you the only one who came back?"

Xing Xing got off the carriage and said with a smile, "My fourth brother is here too, but he hasn't ridden in the area for a while, so he said he wanted to go to the mountains first... We were out on business and happened to pass by here."

Wei Shiyan also followed Xingxing down from the carriage.

Li Xianglan stared again.

These two are so pretty!

She wanted to ask Xingxing who this was.

However, she also felt that this young man looked like a deity from the Ninth Heaven. Although his face had no expression, the aura lingering around him made her inexplicably feel timid.

Li Xianglan shrank subconsciously.

Xingxing, however, was already looking around the village which she had not returned to for several years.

I saw that many houses in the village were made of new bricks and tiles. They looked very different from before and the whole village seemed to be thriving.

Seeing Xing Xing standing still and looking at the village, Li Xianglan couldn't help but say, "This is all thanks to your Yu family. You led the villagers to do business. Now the pockets of our villagers are bulging!"

Li Xianglan said with some pride, "Now many girls from the county town want to marry in our village!"

As they were chatting and laughing, many villagers who were chatting and enjoying the cool under the shade of the trees looked over. When they saw Li Xianglan leading two god-like figures, a man and a woman, their eyes widened.

Li Xianglan looked a little proud as she greeted everyone, "Are you stunned? Didn't you recognize her? This is Xingxing from the Yu family!"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't hide their shock. One by one, they hurriedly gathered around and looked at her carefully: "Oh my! Is it really Xing Xing?!"

"I haven't seen you for a few years. Xingxing has grown into a big girl now?!"

"Hurry, go tell the village chief that Xingxing is back!"

The villagers were extremely enthusiastic. They surrounded Xingxing and asked her how she was doing in the capital over the years.

Are all the things sold in Beijing particularly expensive?

I heard that people in Beijing have their own rules for eating and drinking. Is it true or false?

Xingxing showed no impatience and talked to everyone one by one. Li Xianglan, who was squeezed out of the crowd, rushed back into the crowd and said, "Hey, hey, what are you doing? Xingxing has come all the way from the capital, she must be tired. You are all surrounding her and asking questions. Can't you let her rest first?"

The villagers agreed and quickly dispersed: "Let Xingxing go home first, go home first."

When Xingxing and her family went to the capital, they entrusted the old house to some maids and servants of the Yu family. They lived in the old house of the Yu family. Some of them followed the Yu family's business to do small business, and some were responsible for daily sweeping.

The news of Xingxing's return had already reached the Yu family's old house. The maids and servants who stayed behind excitedly rushed out of the door of the Yu family's old house.

Seeing the eldest daughter, who had grown into a fairy-like lady, return home, tears welled up in their eyes and they shouted loudly, "Welcome home, eldest daughter!"

Xingxing's eyes also became teary when she saw this.

After entering the Yu family's old house, Xingxing returned to her original courtyard.

Xingxing's room has always been kept well-kept by the maids, spotless and exactly the same as it was a few years ago, as if she had never left.

Wei Shiyan stared at the furnishings in Xingxing's room.

Although he has known Xingxing for a long time, this is his first time here.

Xing Xing turned over in her bed contentedly.

The beds and quilts are often washed and dried. They smell like the sun and are very fresh.

Wei Shiyan walked to the museum shelf where a clay doll was placed.

Looks very familiar.

There was such a thing in the box he had packed up.

He wrapped it layer by layer with a handkerchief and put it away carefully.

Xing Xing stood up from the bed. Seeing Wei Shiyan looking at the clay doll, Xing Xing felt a little embarrassed: "…When I was a kid, I was fascinated by clay dolls for a while. I learned this from my uncle…This is the first one I made when I first learned how to make it. It's a little ugly."

It is true that we should think about feasting in times of crisis.

The one she gave him was shaped in a very cute way and even painted.

Even though so many years have passed, the paint has faded a little and some places have cracked, but Wei Shiyan still thinks that the clay doll that Xingxing gave him is the cutest clay doll in the world.

At this moment, Wei Shiyan saw the crooked clay doll made by Xingxing, and he thought that this could be regarded as the second cutest one in the world.

Xing Xing saw that Yan had been staring at the clay doll at the time of danger, and felt a little embarrassed: "Brother Yan, the ones I have made now are much better looking than this one. This really does not represent my level."

Wei Shiyan said, "I have one. The one you gave me before is indeed better looking than this one."

Xing Xing thought for a moment and said, "How about I make another one for you later? ... The clay doll won't last long. That one has already cracked, right?"

Wei Shiyan paused and said "OK".

He kept the clay doll she gave him very well.

However, if Xingxing gave him another one, he would naturally be very willing.

Xing Xing laughed, got up from the bed, walked to the museum shelf, stood with Wei Shiyan, and pointed a kite to Wei Shiyan: "... This one, I also made it myself. Although it's a bit ugly, but I remember that it flew very high."

Wei Shiyan nodded: "I have one too, you gave it to me, it's not ugly, it flies really high."

Xingxing felt ashamed when she thought about her behavior as a child.

At that time, no matter what she learned, she wanted to make one for everyone around her.

Xing Xing's face flushed: "...When I was little I always felt that I did very well. Now it seems that my aesthetic sense may have been a little off."

She looked at Wei Shiyan, "How about I make another one for you? My craftsmanship has improved a lot since I grew up."

A smile flashed across Wei Shiyan's eyes, and he nodded: "Okay."

Xingxing looked at the smile in Wei Shiyan's eyes, and her eyes couldn't help but wander.

As she hesitated, Xingxing saw the tassel hanging on the hilt of Wei Shiyan's sword, and it was obvious that she was the one who hit him.

It was very close to her. She had someone send it to her when she was still in the capital half a year ago.

Wei Shiyan probably wore it every day, so the color of the sword tassel faded a little.

Look at the sachet on Wei Shiyan's waist.

It looked like she did it too.

Although Xingxing had made these little things for her brother many times, this time, for some reason, Xingxing suddenly felt her cheeks getting hotter.

"Xingxing!"

A voice like an oriole was heard from outside. Xingxing hurried out of the house and saw a young girl in yellow standing outside the gate of the courtyard, waving at her excitedly.

Even though they hadn't seen each other for several years, Xingxing recognized her at a glance. This was her childhood friend, Yamei'er.

Xing Xing ran over excitedly: "Ya Ya!"

After not seeing each other for several years, Yamei has grown into a beautiful young lady. She excitedly walked forward and hugged Xingxing.

After hugging her good friend whom she hadn't seen for a long time, Xingxing noticed that Yamei'er had already styled her hair like a woman.

Xing Xing's eyes widened in surprise: "Yaya, are you married?"

A faint blush appeared on Yamei'er's face. "Yes... You know, I am the only child of my father. He has not been in good health in the past two years, so I stayed at home to take care of him."

Xing Xing held Ya Mei'er's hand and said, "Is your husband good to you?"

Ya Mei'er nodded heavily. When she mentioned her husband, her face was obviously full of blushing and she looked very happy. "He is a hunter in the mountains. He treats me very well... He went to the county to sell leather. I guess he won't be back until tomorrow. When he comes back tomorrow, I will bring him to see you!"

Xing Xing nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay!"

Although Xingxing thinks it's too early for Yamei'er to get married, she just wants Yamei'er to be happy.

When the sisters who haven't seen each other for a long time meet, their conversations are like the endless flow of river water.

The two of them stood at the gate of the courtyard, holding hands, talking about each other's recent situation and forgetting the time.

Yamei was still a little thirsty and coughed subconsciously. Xingxing and Yamei were surprised to realize that they had been standing outside the whole time.

"Look at me, I'm so excited to see you." Xing Xing pulled Ya Mei'er into the house, while telling the maid to make tea, "Let's talk inside."

Yamei responded with "OK", and then she realized that a few steps behind Xingxing, there was a handsome young man who looked like an immortal who had walked out of a painting!

Yamei'er's eyes widened in shock, but she kept her manners and didn't look at him for too long. She just pulled Xingxing aside and whispered, "...Everyone in the village said that you brought back an incredibly handsome man! Is that him? ... Is he your fiancé?"

As soon as the word "fiancé" came out, Xing Xing's face turned red, but she quickly lowered her voice to deny it: "No, no, it's not true, don't talk nonsense."

Xing Xing's heart was pounding, and she thought, Ya Mei'er's voice was very low, maybe Brother Yan didn't hear it?

Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing.

Previously in Anjiang, she lied that Wei Shiyan was her fiancé in order to give Wei Shiyan a legitimate identity and also to make Luo's mother and son give up.

But at that time... at that time, there was a reason for it!

Xing Xing turned around and glanced at Wei Shiyan like a thief.

However, Wei Shiyan was also looking at her.

Xing Xing turned around quickly as if she was scalded.

Yameier was a little worried and asked, "Xingxing, what's wrong with you? Why are your hands suddenly so hot?"

Xing Xing stuttered for once, "No, nothing's wrong. It's just that the weather is a little hot."

Although Ya Mei'er is married, she is still very simple because her husband loves her.

Since Xingxing said it was okay, she naturally thought it was really okay.

"It's a bit hot, let's go into the house quickly." Yamei pulled Xingxing into the house.

When she was young, Yamei often came to Xingxing's house to play, and it was almost as familiar to her as her own home.

After entering the house, Yamei couldn't wait to ask Xingxing about what happened in the capital.

"Did you see the archway with the words 'number one scholar' when you came? When the news of your third brother's success in the imperial examination spread, the county magistrate specially ordered people to build it!... By the way, please tell me what happened when your third brother won the title! I have never seen a number one scholar in my life!" Yaya was full of longing.

Xingxing then vividly recounted the scene of her third brother riding a horse and parading through the streets when he became the top scholar.

Yaya was so infatuated that she said, "When I have a baby, I will send him to school, too!"

The two sisters had not been talking in private for long when relatives from the Yu family came to visit them.

Coincidentally, Yu Yonggui and Qing Shuang had just returned from riding horses outside for half a day, so the person who was surrounded became Yu Yonggui.

However, Yu Yonggui has been dealing with different people for many years and has managed to feel at home in this field.

It was Qing Shuang. She had a rather cold personality to begin with, and she couldn't stand these enthusiastic villagers who kept asking when they would get married, so she quickly left with a red face.
