Ximen Chen wanted to stay for two more days, but because of the fight between Siyu and Dongzi, he had to advance his trip. He jotted down a few exercise formulas and left them to the children.
I kept all the elixirs, whether as a reward or as a slightly ashamed compensation.
——Dongzi never woke up after that fight.
…
One morning, everyone gathered early in the courtyard at the west end of the village to see off Ximen Chen and others.
In fact, there was no need to send them off with such fanfare. Ximenchen and Ares were both emotional people, and their status taught them to be free and easy, so it was difficult to like this kind of farewell that was more sad than joyful.
But Xiaoyu didn't think so. No matter what, she would come to see Siyu off, because this boy once made a promise to herself one night. Regardless of whether this promise could be fulfilled, she would come to see off Siyu, even if she could only
Use your eyes to remind him that he still exists in this world.
So because of her selfishness, the entire village, men, women, old and young, knew that these three people and one beast would leave quietly today. So early in the morning, everyone gathered in the courtyard at the west end of the village, waiting for their appearance.
Fortunately, Siyu did not disappoint Xiaoyu. From his calm and firm smile, Xiaoyu saw Siyu's response. The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
But the farewell journey of the three people and one animal was not smooth, because not only were people trying to stay, but they were also "harassed" by the animals.
People naturally come to see Ximen Chen and the others off, while the animals come here to see Xiao San. In this village, people can barely feed themselves, and most of the pets and livestock around people can only eat half full. But Xiao San’s
The arrival completely ended their nightmare, allowing these hungry and temperless animals to see hope of life again.
It was also because of Mistress that this group of hungry animals tasted the feeling of having a full meal for the first time. Over the past few years, the old and the new replaced each other. While the animals were fattening up, they were also very grateful to this group of hungry animals who looked like cows but not cows and looked like pigs.
The mistress, who is not a pig, serves him as the king of the animal world. Now that the patron saint is leaving, these animals are naturally heartbroken, thinking that they will soon go back to the days when they can't see meat and eat one meal without finishing the next meal.
, they were frightened for a while, and tried every means to keep the mistress.
Therefore, a whole group of chickens, ducks, geese, cats, dogs, sheep, cattle and pigs all surrounded the fat and petite mistress in the middle, with the mentality of protecting the owner as if they were ready to die.
Throughout the morning, in front of the single courtyard at the west end of the village, there was a stench that soared into the sky, and no one had any desire. Even masters like Ximen Chen and Ares were trapped under heavy siege, and they could not distinguish between east, west, north and south.
, moving in circles.
But while they were messing around, they created a miserable moment of farewell for the "newcomers" Siyu and Xiaoyu.
For a whole long time, Xiaoyu hummed in a hoarse voice that could melt steel:
"Brother Yu, you have to come back."
"You must come."
"Xiaoyu is waiting for you."
…
One morning, Siyu was "tortured" by Xiaoyu's soft voice. A deep sense of guilt filled her heart, and Siyu began to waver about leaving.
Finally, at the moment when the sun hung in the center, Ximen Chen raised the "Wutian" sword with a swish of his body, and jumped onto the sword with a leap.
The condescending Ximen Chen clasped his hands and spoke deeply to the old village chief below.
"Old village chief, thank you very much for taking care of us over the past three years. Ximen is very grateful, but we really have to leave and we can't stay any longer."
Although Ximen Chen himself was older, and given his status in the world of cultivation, he should not have given such a great gift to the head of a down-and-out village. However, when facing the old village head, Ximen Chen always had something in his heart.
He couldn't bring up his usual arrogance. The waning old man in front of him seemed to give him a very plain and powerful illusion, which made it difficult for Ximen Chen to put on airs. Along the way with Siyu, he saw a lot of strange things, which made him
Ximen Chen knew that the world was bigger than what he thought. So even when facing the old village chief of this dilapidated village, Ximen Chen did not dare to offend him outright because he believed in his own intuition.
The old village chief smiled and waved his hand: "Thank you, thank you. Maybe there will be another day, haha!"
Ximen Chen tilted his head, as if he wanted to consider the old man's words, but as the sun turned to the west, he might really be delayed here today if he didn't leave. After thinking about it, he said hello to Siyu and set off.
Siyu reluctantly let go of Xiaoyu's hand, shook his hand towards the tearful Xiaoyu, and comforted Xiaoyu's heart with his peaceful smile.
Siyu jumped on Grandpa's flying sword and never dared to look back, for fear that if she took one more look at herself, she would really be unable to leave.
"Grandpa, let's go quickly."
Ximen Chen once again waved his hand at Xiangqin and flew his sword away into the sky.
"Ximen Chen, you are an old man." Ares shouted, and the golden fighting energy under his body moved to his feet, and a golden six-pointed star appeared under Ares.
Since Ares recovered his body, many spells that could not be cast before can now be cast, such as the simplest but very mana-consuming wind flying spell.
As if being gently lifted by a gust of invisible wind, Ares slowly floated into the sky and flew away.
"Children, work hard to cultivate your own skills. See you later!" Ares left his last words, which lingered far in the air.
Xiao San, who was surrounded by animals, saw that the three of them had gone away, and did not dare to stay any longer. He called softly, and the animals around him took three steps back obediently. But from their eyes, it was not difficult to see that they were interested in Xiao San.
of nostalgia.
Flapping the angel wings behind her, Xiao San slowly rose up. Although she had gained a lot of weight, Xiao San still flew up easily, swinging twice in the air, facing the people and beasts below.
Waving his little hooves and wearing that signature smile, he slowly flew away.
All that was left in the air was: "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!" floating far away.
The villagers looked at the direction in which the three people and one animal were moving away, and watched quietly. Even the animals were very sensible and did not make any sound, but just watched quietly. No one knew what they (them) were thinking.
.
Among the crowd, the old village chief wrinkled his old face, looked at the western sky, and smiled slightly.
…
Siyu and the others had been walking for a long time, and the sun was gradually setting in the west. As dusk fell, everyone was living their normal lives again, but it was obvious that there was a slightly dull atmosphere, as if something was missing.
At dusk, Dongzi, who had been in a coma, slowly woke up. I don’t know if he was waiting for Siyu and the others to leave before waking up. In short, after waking up, Dongzi kept looking at the world outside the window, staring blankly for a long time.
of trance.
The mother next to her was holding the medicinal soup, looking helplessly at her son and sighing.
"Mom, have they left?"
Dongzi's mother was about to turn around and leave, but she stopped dead in her tracks.
"Yes, I left at noon."
There was no sound for a long time, Dongzi still looked out the window, Dongzi's mother couldn't see clearly her son's expression.
"Oh, I almost forgot." Dongzi's mother took out a paper letter from her arms and sent it to Dongzi's bed.
She said: "This girl Xiaoyu sent this in the afternoon. She told me to give it to you when you wake up."
Seeing that Dongzi was still in a daze without any reaction, Dongzi's mother took a deep breath, slowly walked out of the room, and closed the door.
In the quiet room, only the sound of Dongzi's breathing was left, and the orange sunset fell from the half-open window edge and hit Dongzi.
Gently opening the folded letter paper, Dongzi's eyes stayed on the white paper for a long time.
The hand holding the paper began to tremble, and Dongzi picked up two fingerprints on the flat letter paper. Drops of hot tears kept rolling out of his eyes, wetting the fonts on the paper, and forming clusters of ink stains.
Dongzi looked at the direction where the sunset was setting, and suppressed the cry: "Little...yu."
