Chapter 173 What are you doing here?
Shi Xiaoliu let out a breath, he also knew that he was too tense.
After leaving the sect and traveling outside for a year or two, Shi Zelan seemed to not have as much difficulty in cultivation as before, which made him relax a little.
However, Xia Yu's incident once again reminded Shi Xiaoliu that the trap set by Shi Zelan was even deeper than that set by Xia Yu.
Snowflakes were falling all night, but Xia Yu was deeply trapped in a nightmare. He struggled hard again and again until dawn, when he woke up covered in sweat.
Qi Yuan Zhenren was standing by his side. When he saw that he had woken up, he smiled and said, "It's snowing outside. After you clean yourself up, you can go out and enjoy the snow scenery."
Xia Yu exhaled and said to Master Qi Yuan seriously, "Father, I think he is dying."
Qi Yuan Zhenren smiled and agreed: "I went to the old woman's yard last night, and the thing didn't come."
"Father, after a night of snow, can the old lady's yard be restored to its original state?"
Qi Yuan Zhenren sighed softly: "After tomorrow, the yard will naturally return to its original state."
Master Qi Yuan did not say that when the old woman was gone one day, the flowers and plants in her yard would probably not live long either.
In the front yard, when Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan saw Xia Yu, they looked at his expression carefully and they smiled at the same time.
"Xia Yu, we cooked rice porridge today. People in the secular world say that this is the most replenishing food."
After Xia Yu entered the kitchen and looked around, she asked, "I want another portion of Aunt Liu's pickles."
Shi Zelan looked at Xia Yu and sighed, "The aunts on this street are all good at cooking, but Aunt Liu's cooking is even better.
Xia Yu, you are someone who knows how to eat. ”
Xia Yu looked at her with a smile and said, "You have preserved a jar of pickles made by Aunt Liu.
A few days ago, I heard Sister Lan and Aunt Liu discussing that they wanted to ask Aunt Liu to help make more than ten jars of pickles, which they would take back as gifts later. ”
Shi Xiaoliu came out and heard Xia Yu's words, and asked with a smile: "Do you want to preserve the pickles made by Aunt Liu?"
After thinking about it, Xia Yu nodded and said, "I also want ten jars of pickles. Do you think it's okay?"
Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng came out and heard what they were saying. Master Decheng immediately said to Shi Zelan, "Sister Lan, in the spring, you and Xiaoliu should go up the mountain and fetch more spring water to make pickles. They will surely taste wonderful."
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan nodded immediately: "It just so happens that Aunt Liu said that spring is a good season for making pickles."
Zhenren Qiyuan and Zhenren Qicheng were talking in the backyard. When Zhenren Qicheng heard that Xia Yu's condition had improved, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The two brothers came from the backyard to the front yard and just heard what Master Decheng said. They smiled and shook their heads. They had been fasting for many years and were not very interested in these things.
In the morning, Master Decheng and his group decided to go to a teahouse to sit for a while. Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan said, "We will go to the old lady's house to watch the fun."
Xia Yu looked at Master Qi Yuan, then turned to Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan and said, "I'll go with you."
"Of course we have to go together. We are worried about you being alone at home."
Shi Xiaoliu spoke to Xia Yu very straightforwardly, and Shi Zelan said on the side: "When we talk, we also include you in it."
After Master Decheng and his group left, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan decided to accompany Xia Yu to warm themselves by the fire under the eaves.
Shi Xiaoliu stuffed a piece of firewood into the stove. After the firewood burned, he motioned Xia Yu to sit by the fire.
Xia Yu had a hesitant look on her face: "Xiao Liu, I'm really not cold, there's no need to warm myself by the fire."
"I know you're not cold, but did you sleep well last night?"
Xia Yu shook his head. He had been searching hard for a way in his dreams all night.
"Then sit by the fire and take a nap.
Sister Lan and I will stay by your side until you wake up, and then we will go out to watch the fun. ”
Xia Yu thought about it and finally closed his eyes and prepared to sleep, but he still couldn't sleep well at first, until Shi Zelan said: "The fire is burning well, just sleep peacefully."
Only then did Xia Yu fall into a deep sleep peacefully, and did not wake up until noon.
Shi Xiaoliu was refining pills on the side, while Shi Zelan was standing beside Xia Yu, drawing talismans attentively.
Shi Zelan saw Xia Yu wake up, packed up the things she had used to draw talismans, and asked, "Did you sleep well?"
"I haven't even had a dream yet, and you put a purification charm on me?"
Shi Zelan smiled and shook her head: "I'll sit next to you and draw the purification talisman."
Xia Yu smiled and said, "I am less and less afraid of dreaming now."
As he spoke, he looked at the snow falling from the sky and suddenly said, "Before I came out, my mother was in seclusion practicing."
Shi Zelan looked at him and said, "Your mother will definitely gain something from practicing."
"Sister Lan, I suddenly miss my mother right now."
Shi Zelan looked at him for a while: "Sometimes I miss my mother and wonder what kind of person she is? Will she treat me well?"
"I'm sorry, Sister Lan, I mentioned my mother in front of you."
"If you speak too evasively in front of me, I will also find it meaningless.
It's normal for you to miss your mother.
Like me, even though I know my grandfather is gone, I still imagine that one day when I go back, he will still be standing at the gate of the yard waiting for me to come home. ”
Shi Xiaoliu finished refining a furnace of pills and opened the barrier. He happened to hear Shi Zelan's words, and his heart inexplicably ached.
"Sister Lan, let's practice hard. After we succeed in building our foundation, we will go and take the child from the Shi family to join the sect."
After hearing what Shi Xiaoliu said, Shi Zelan nodded affirmatively: "Okay."
Xia Yu looked at them enviously and said, "We haven't had any contact with our ancestral land for nearly a thousand years. I thought that after coming to the capital, I would be able to contact my clan members."
Shi Xiaoliu looked at him and said, "It has been more than a thousand years. If you want to recognize your tribe members, you can only take the initiative to contact them."
Xia Yu thought about it and shook his head: "Everyone in the clan lives in peace and security. My father and uncle are not meddlesome people."
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan exchanged glances and said with understanding, "We will probably treat our clan members in the same way in the future."
At noon, the snow was getting heavier. After Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan asked Xia Yu for his opinion, the three decided to take a walk outside. Their destination was naturally the old lady's house.
When they walked near the old lady's house, they found that there were fewer people. There were still people queuing at the gate to enter the yard, so they followed to join in the fun.
This time, the servant at the gate just looked up and said, “It snowed, and all the flowers in the yard fell.
You must go in and take a look, and then don't make too much noise.
Our old lady is old and can’t stand too much noise. ”
Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu walked in front, Shi Zelan walked behind, and behind her was a mother and daughter.
"Mother, the flowers have all fallen, what are we doing here?"
