See you in the world

Chapter 211
The reunion of an old friend of more than ten years is full of bitterness and bitterness.

Although Jiang Susu and Jiang Xiaoxi were not biological sisters, they were the only two left in Xiaolin Village back then. In addition, they had a good relationship since childhood, so they are better than biological sisters now.

Yun Jing and the others did not disturb their sisters' reunion, and silently gave them a space to be alone.

In the past, Jiang Susu never took the initiative to mention the tragedy in Xiaolin Village, but she talked a lot with Jiang Xiaoxi, talking about the tragic death of her parents and family, and gritted her teeth when talking about the evil in Tiger Village.

She didn't want to tell her family about that bad memory, but Jiang Xiaoxi had the same experience as her, and the two of them could be said to share the same illness, so they didn't have so many worries about telling each other.

In a person's life, the friendly relationship after childhood can stand the test of time the most. Although Jiang Susu and Jiang Xiaoxi haven't seen each other for more than ten years, they are not unfamiliar when they meet again. On the contrary, the same experience in the early years warmed the two lonely hearts comfort.

It seems that I no longer feel lonely all of a sudden.

Jiang Xiaoxi has been in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, has experienced countless crises, killed people, and was hunted down. Her heart has already been trained to be as hard as a stone, but after meeting Jiang Susu, she felt as if she had been overwhelmed by the sky. Like an aggrieved little girl, she snuggled into her arms and cried about what happened over the years.

In the final analysis, her strength, her indifference, and her heart of stone are all just because there is no one to confide in. Now facing Jiang Susu, Jiang Xiaoxi immediately took off all her pretense, and shed all her hardships. Spicy all poured out.

They seemed to have endless things to say, they reunited in the morning, and at noon, they ate lunch alone, and then continued to talk about the experiences of these years...

It wasn't until night fell that they ended their private conversation, and their eye circles were red and swollen like peaches.

In the evening, the two of them calmed down a little. Yunjing and his family got together with Jiang Xiaoxi, and Jiang Susu introduced her family to her.

"Xiaoxi, this is my husband Yunshan. He is a good man and has no great abilities. But all these years, he has been supporting the family's affairs, and I have never been wronged. I blushed..."

"This is my eldest son, Yunjing, who is 11 years old. He has been well-behaved and sensible since he was a child. He hardly bothered me. Now he is studying in Niujiao Town. He also got a good grade last year. He ranked first in the county examination, but he has a long face. You don't even know how happy I am, it's like a dream, reading, things I didn't even dare to think about before..."

"And this is Yun Xi, my youngest daughter. Don't look at her, she is very skinny. She often gives me a headache. I also have a second son named Yun Dong. I didn't come with me this time. He is also studying in the town. ..."

Listening to Jiang Susu's introduction of her family, and seeing their happy family, Jiang Xiaoxi was extremely envious, and a trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes, but she hid it well.

Compared with Jiang Susu's ordinary life over the years, although life is poor, it is what Jiang Xiaoxi longs for. The same experience, different fate, and a farewell, she has embarked on the bloody road of the rivers and lakes. the road.

"Brother-in-law, Xiaojing, Xiaoxi, the first time we met, it was too hasty. I didn't even prepare any presents, so I will definitely make them up later," Jiang Xiaoxi apologized as she glanced at the Yunjing family.

Maybe it's because the heart that has been lonely for many years has found a relative, or maybe it's because the one-day confidance with Jiang Susu released the inner misery, and Jiang Xiaoxi's eyes, which were originally empty, regained a glimmer of life.

Hearing her words, Yun Jing breathed a sigh of relief, this little aunt probably won't commit suicide in a short time.

Yun Shan was a little at a loss and said: "Ah...whether gifts or not, they are all family members, no need, with you here, Susu will not be lonely in the future"

"Brother-in-law and second sister are very affectionate, Susu called so affectionately," Jiang Xiaoxi laughed.

Although she was smiling, Jiang Xiaoxi felt a little bitter in her heart. She used to have a husband who loved her and loved her, but now she could no longer hear her husband's sweet talk.

Yun Shan blushed immediately, and he murmured that he didn't know how to answer because he was not good at words.

After so many years, a sister-in-law suddenly appeared, which really made Yunshan not know how to get along, and seemed a little cautious.

It can be seen that Yunshan's mouth is stupid, Jiang Xiaoxi, who has been in the world for many years, no longer teased him, looked at Yunjing and said, "Xiaojing, right, I didn't expect that the second sister's children are so big, and they are also good-looking. I don't know how many girls in the future I like it, reading is good, reading is good, if you are knowledgeable, you will not be easily deceived, how can you be like me... Hey, let’s not talk about it, your mother has had a hard life since she was a child, you have to be filial to her when you grow up ?"

She didn't recognize that Yun Jing was the man in black robe from last night, after all, he was the child of Jiang Susu, the only relative in the world, and she still loved him very much.

Yun Jingjing nodded with a smile and said, "My aunt has won the prize. Mother has paid too much for this family. She has worked hard day and night. As a child, there is no reason not to be filial."

"After all, you are a scholar, and what you say is nice," Jiang Xiaoxi praised, and then said to Jiang Susu: "Second sister, with such a son, you can wait to enjoy the blessings in the future."

Yun Xi looked at Jiang Xiaoxi curiously from the side and said, "Auntie, Auntie, and me, I will be filial to my parents when I grow up."

"That's right, there's also Xiao Xi, who knows how to respect his parents at such a young age, he's such a good boy..."

The whole family was chatting happily, eating almost, Jiang Susu hesitated for a moment, concerned about Jiang Xiaoxi's future, and asked: "Xiaoxi, what are your plans for the future?"

The Tiger Village is gone, and the revenge has been paid. Jiang Xiaoxi has lost her life goal. After the Tiger Village was destroyed, she wanted to kill herself and leave the world. But when Jiang Susu asked, she didn't think about the future, so she didn't know how to answer, she just shook her head and said in a daze, "I don't know either."

"Xiaoxi, fighting and killing in the world is not always the solution, it sounds scary, you are still young, or... you should not start a family anymore", Jiang Susu thought for a while.

Women, no matter how strong they are, there will always be times when they are weak. With a man, there is always someone to rely on.

Knowing that Jiang Susu had good intentions, Jiang Xiaoxi shook her head and said, "Second sister, after my husband passed away, I never thought about marrying someone else, so you don't have to persuade me about this matter, but you are right, Jiang Hu , Fighting and killing, I have been tired of these years, I don’t want to continue, but I haven’t figured out what to do next.”

"Well, if this is the case, Xiaoxi, why don't you go back with us when the time comes, go to Niujiao Town and settle down, how about doing what you want to do and then slowly plan? It's close to the place, and I, as a sister, although I don't have any skills, but I can still help you to some extent," Jiang Susu said with some expectation.

In the past, Jiang Susu had no natal family, and she was very envious of other women in the village who could often go back to her natal family. It would be great if Jiang Xiaoxi could move to Niujiao Town, so that she could move around frequently, and some people would talk about themselves, so that she would not be as old as before. so lonely.

"Let me think about it. After all, I don't want to stay in this sad place." Jiang Xiaoxi shook her head and said without making a clear answer.

Seeing that his mother was a little disappointed, Yun Jing smoothed things over and said, "Mother, auntie, let's not talk about this, we have to go back to Xiaolin Village tomorrow, do we need to prepare anything?"

His interruption was a wake-up call, so the family began to discuss tomorrow's arrangements.

When we go to Xiaolin Village, we must pay homage. Maybe we can't find the bones of our relatives, but Jiang Susu wants to build a grave for his parents, so he also needs to prepare joss sticks, paper money and a hoe.

The discussion was almost done, and what should be prepared, naturally Liu Dazhuang and the others went to help with the purchase. It was late at night, and each of them had a rest, but this night, Jiang Susu and Jiang Xiaoxi slept together.

The next morning, Yunjing and the others checked out of the room, had breakfast, packed up and set off for Xiaolin Village.

In Fengyang County, there are still rumors about the destruction of Tiger Village, but most of the people from the rivers and lakes who gathered a few days ago have left one after another. It will not be long before Fengyang County will return to its former state. calm.

Without Tiger Village, people here will have a much better life in the future, and it is only a matter of time before the prosperity of more than ten years ago is restored.

Xiaolin Village is more than 20 miles away from Kuquan Town in the north of Fengyang County, not far from Crouching Tiger Mountain. In Jiang Susu's memory, once in Xiaolin Village, he could see Crouching Tiger Mountain when he looked up.

At the beginning, Menghu Village was located on Crouching Tiger Mountain, close to Xiaolin Village, so Xiaolin Village became the target of Menghu Village to vent its anger.

Jiang Susu said that Kuquan Town was a town that was not inferior to Niujiao Town at the beginning, but because of the existence of Menghu Village, it has gradually declined over the years, and now it has become a small town with only a hundred households.

The town is full of empty ruins, the streets are desolate, overgrown with weeds, and sparsely populated, it is hard to imagine that this was once a prosperous town.

In the final analysis, it was all caused by the Tiger Village. Even if the Tiger Village is no longer there, it would be impossible to restore it to what it used to be.

The spring water in Bitter Springs is too bitter to drink, not even to water crops.

When passing by here, Yunjing heard his mother and Jiang Xiaoxi talking about these things, so he checked the water conditions in Kuquan Town specially, and couldn't help but sigh, the people here are really guarding Baoshan to live a hard life.

Those undrinkable well water springs have high salt content, because the land is full of salt mines, and the water source becomes bitter after infiltrating the salt-rich salt mines!
But people here don't know how to extract table salt from salt mines.

Salt, iron and wine, these businesses can only be operated by the government of the Dali Dynasty, so although Yunjing understands the value of Kuquan Town, Yunjing has no plans at present, and if he does not do well, he will get into a lawsuit. Also, here It was too far away from Niujiao Town, and he didn't have that much energy to take care of it.

The group passed through Kuquan Town, stopped for a while and continued to set off. At noon, they approached Xiaolin Village, the destination of the trip...
