"Well, there should be so many business travelers near a certain big city. Let's follow them to have a look."
As they walked along, they soon saw a huge city. The main gate of the city was very spectacular. If Tian Lan commented, it could be compared with the city gate of the capital fifty years ago. It seems that the development of the human world is not slow either. ah.
When they saw the name of the city on the plaque at the main entrance, both Tian Lan and Ye Yi couldn't help showing strange expressions.
Because there are three big characters written squarely above the plaque:
Lingxiao City.
Ye Yi whispered: "Lingxiao City, is it the same Lingxiao City back then?"
He remembered clearly that he, Tianlan, and Xiaotang met in Lingxiao City, and everything that happened later also originated from here, but they did not expect that they would actually fall near Lingxiao City.
Tian Lan smiled and said: "That's right. There are still some traces of those days, but Lingxiao City has really developed into a big city."
Ye Yi also smiled and said: "It's not bad to revisit our old place as our first stop back to the human world."
Returning to Lingxiao City, they felt inexplicably relaxed and wandered around in Lingxiao City following the flow of people. The market here was much more organized than before, with a wide variety of goods, mostly daily necessities, and There are many gadgets for girls. Lingxiao City used to be famous for making windmills, but now it still sells the most windmills.
Tian Lan and Ye Yi no longer had any coins from the human world on them, and they had no use for the things from the human world. They just took a look at them as they pleased.
Tianlan walked around for half a circle, then walked to a place with sparse crowds and stared at the windmill stall in trance.
Ye Yi stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes and said, "What's wrong? What are you thinking about when you stare at the windmill?"
Tian Lan smiled slightly and said, "I was just thinking, it would be great if Xiaotang could see it too. She liked Ling Xiao's windmill very much back then."
Ye Yi's eyes dimmed, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad, and said: "Sorry, it brought up sad things. Alas, don't think about these things. It's rare to come back, so you should be happy."
Tianlan didn't feel very sad in his heart. Half of Xiaotang's soul was in his heart, and she had woken up. He felt as if Xiaotang had finally come to life. He was too late to be happy, so how could he feel sad? He just regretted that Xiaotang had finally come to life. Tang couldn't see it with his own eyes.
He was about to explain to Ye Yi when suddenly a strange woman from behind shouted to him:
"Fairy benefactor,,"
Hearing that the voice seemed to be directed at him, Tian Lan turned around in confusion and saw an old woman over fifty years old with gray hair on her temples. This woman had many wrinkles on her face, but her face was rosy. She seemed to be in good health. When she saw Tianlan was even more excited and knelt down respectfully to him.
Tian Lan was full of doubts and said in a gentle tone: "This... madam, please get up quickly, do you recognize me?"
The woman stood up and said excitedly: "Yes, yes, Xiuxiu will never be able to repay the favor given to my family by the benefactor of the gods."
Ye Yi said doubtfully: "Your name is Xiuxiu, hey, it sounds a bit familiar..."
Tian Lan also frowned. He had indeed helped many people in the human world. He didn't think about it for a while, but his memory was good. When he thought of Lingxiao City, he immediately remembered that he had met a mother and daughter here. **It seems that her name is Liu Xiuxiu.
He suddenly realized and said: "So you are the flower seller back then,"
When he said this, Ye Yi also remembered it. He looked back and forth at the woman in front of him in surprise. He couldn't help but admit that time was terrible. Such a cute little girl back then had turned into a middle-aged girl in the blink of an eye. woman...
Liu Xiuxiu nodded quickly and said: "Yes, I didn't expect that my benefactor would still remember me. Back then, my benefactor saved my mother and gave us money to settle outside the city so that we could live safely. Later, my benefactor also rescued my father and reunited our family. , we will never be able to fully repay the kindness that our divine benefactor has shown us in our lifetime,"
Tianlan actually didn't remember much, but vaguely remembered such a thing, and said: "Well, it would be great if you can reunite smoothly, but how do you know that we are gods?"
Liu Xiuxiu opened her mouth and called out their true identities. They were really shocked. Their first reaction was that Qingshen was coming to kill them. However, Liu Xiuxiu was obviously just an ordinary woman from the human world, so they were relieved. .
Liu Xiuxiu said with a simple smile: "Of course, the figure of Brother Immortal who went to heaven and earth more than fifty years ago still appears in my mind from time to time. Moreover, after such a long time, Lingxiao City has also experienced earth-shaking changes, and Brother Immortal has gone through earth-shaking changes. But you are still as young and handsome as you were then. What else can I call you but a god?"
Tianlan could only smile and nod. The theory of gods and ghosts in the human world is prevalent, and there are still many people who believe in gods. Liu Xiuxiu has admired Tianlan since she was a child and believes that he is a god. She believes in him deeply. Now that we meet again, she is naturally not surprised by his appearance. , and when Tianlan thought about it, what if people knew they were gods? With their strength, were they still afraid of being plotted against?
Ye Yi came up with a smile on his face and said, "Xiu Xiu, little girl, how are you? Do you still recognize me?"
Liu Xiuxiu looked at his face, thought for a while, and said: "I seem to have an impression that you were the one who followed the immortal brother back then. I'm sorry, you look too ordinary. I don't remember very clearly."
"Pfft..." Tianlan couldn't help but laugh, covering her mouth with her hands as if to conceal it.
Ye Yi had a black line on his face, glared at Tian Lan, and said: "Why are you laughing? What I call connotation, connotation, do you understand? Xiuxiu was too young back then, so naturally she didn't have any knowledge."
Tian Lan said with a smile on his face: "Xiu Xiu, how are your parents doing?"
Liu Xiuxiu said regretfully: "Dad died early, and my mother also died of illness two years ago, but they passed away peacefully, which is considered a happy mourning."
Tianlan showed due respect for the deceased and said: "It's really a pity. Please forgive me and accept the change."
Liu Xiuxiu has long since come out of the shadow of her parents' death. Now she has her own family. Her husband is an officer in Lingxiao City. Her family is happy and happy. She has a son and a daughter at her knees. Today she was out shopping, but she didn't want to happen to meet him. Tianlan.
Tianlan was not familiar with the human world fifty years later, so Liu Xiuxiu volunteered to explain it to him, and even took the two of them for a walk in Lingxiao City. On the way, Liu Xiuxiu returned home and took out a thousand purple gold coins and gave them to Tianlan, saying, It is to repay the emergency money of one hundred gold coins. This is more than repaying it a hundred times. The money is second, and the key is the intention to repay the kindness. Liu Xiuxiu also said that she has been looking forward to this money for decades. Return it to Tianlan. If she doesn't return it, she won't be able to rest in peace until she dies.
Tianlan and Ye Yi happened to have no human world coins with them, so they took them when they saw Liu Xiuxiu being so persistent.
Liu Xiuxiu kindly invited them to stay for a few days, but Tianlan and Ye Yi had no intention of continuing to waste time here, so they declined her kindness.
They had just said goodbye to Liu Xiuxiu and were walking towards another city gate when there was a burst of noise not far away and the crowd crowded past.
There seemed to be a wealthy family's house over there, the decoration was extremely classical, and it seemed to be a scholarly family. There was a lot of noise at the door, and I didn't know what was going on.
Tian Lan was naturally not interested in this kind of thing. When he was about to leave, he glanced at the crowd casually.
Originally, it was impossible to see the innermost part based on his position, but perhaps it was destined by God that the crowd of people watching were moving. As they moved, a small gap opened up, allowing him to directly see the person in the innermost part.
It was just a moment, faster than the blink of an eye, and then his sight was blocked by the crowd again.
But just at this moment, his body suddenly froze, unable to move any further, and he stared blankly over there.
"Tian Lan," Ye Yi couldn't help but look at him strangely when he saw that he suddenly stopped leaving.
Tian Lan seemed not to hear anything, and without saying a word, he suddenly changed direction and walked towards the crowd.
Ye Yi felt strange in his heart. He didn't know what Tian Lan wanted to do. Tian Lan probably had no interest in things in the human world now. It was strange, but he still followed him without saying a word to see what Tian Lan wanted to do.
There were two groups of people confronting each other in front of the door of this house. The group of people blocking the door were mostly old, weak, women and children, who should be the residents of this house; the other group was a group of street gangsters with slanted faces, as if They are here to cause trouble.
The onlookers discussed in low voices, and Tianlan guessed that this family's surname was Chu, and they came from a poor scholarly family. The generation was thin, and their only son died drunk on the street because he failed in the imperial examination. Now the head of the family is Nian. Chu Jinzheng, who is over fifty.
It can be said that Chu Jinzheng's life was not good. He had two sons and two daughters. The son was not successful and had just died before he could hold a funeral. The gangsters in the city saw that his family was easy to bully and came to cause trouble. They said that the boss of their Whale Shark Gang was watching. He is in love with Chu Jinzheng's eldest daughter and wants to force her to marry him. Today, he is here to take away his eldest daughter.
Chu Jinzheng was famous for his love for his daughter, so how could he let his precious daughter be snatched away by these gangsters, so he started a dispute with these gangsters in front of his house.
Most of the people at the bottom of Lingxiao City sympathize with Chu Jinzheng, but the Whale Shark Gang has always been domineering, so most of these people are helpless.
By this point in the dispute, the gangsters from the Whale Shark Gang had injured many people in the Chu family. As the head of the family, Chu Jinzheng was so angry that his face turned green.
Tianlan shouldn't have cared about such trivial matters. What really attracted him to come over was nothing else but the beautiful girl behind Chu Jinzheng.
This girl is the eldest lady of the Chu family who was spotted by the Whale Shark Gang. Chu Wushuang is only sixteen years old. Her beauty is unparalleled and attracts the admiration of countless people. Once the family encounters misfortune, the first one to be targeted will naturally be this beauty. Miss.
Chu Wushuang is young and beautiful, but after all, she is just a girl who is inexperienced in the world. She trembled with fear when she saw such a battle hiding behind her father. Her father, Chu Jinzheng, and her mother were protecting them like hens guarding their chicks. she.
Chu Wushuang is beautiful, but no matter how beautiful she is, she cannot be compared to the top beauties in the world, while Tian Lan is not even moved by the charming Li Qiu'er, let alone an "average-looking" woman from the human world.
However, she is special.
At just one glance, Tian Lan knew that she was special.
Tian Lan will never forget this face, and he will never forget her for the rest of his life.
Even though more than fifty years had passed, he could recognize her in the crowd in the blink of an eye...
