Handbook of Survival in the World of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 6 05: Homecoming and Sauvignon Blanc

The next day, Lu Liang chose a remote place close to the wilderness and a little far away from the town, and just happened to build a thatched cottage within the protection of the aristocratic family. With the help of two real monks, Yu Guisi and Xia Yaoyi, the speed was very fast There is also quality, a small house, although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs.

The walls made of thick rammed earth are enough to keep out the wind and cold, the thatch of the roof is also thick enough to prevent rain and snow from leaking, and the simple furniture—the beds, tables and chairs are made up of leftover materials collected from everywhere, and mud The stove made of grass leaves can be used for cooking, and Lu Liang stood at the door of his house, thinking that this would be very good.

She sincerely thanked Xia Yaoyi and Yu Guisi's mother and son for helping her with so many things out of goodwill. From this point of view, they are really good people.

Lu Liang kept saying thank you, and sent a good person card to the mother and son in his heart, sighing, there are still a lot of good people in the world.

Watching the two figures go away, Lu Liang entered the room, closed the door, climbed onto the bed, and wrapped tightly in the shabby but warm quilt.

Lu Liang let out a long sigh of relief. After a long day, he can finally take a rest. If he wants to live here, he will make a better plan tomorrow.

It didn't take a moment to fall asleep.

The defensive formation that Xia Yaoyi helped to arrange outside the house lit up, and a seemingly thin egg-like protective layer appeared in midair, completely enveloping the entire room.

A hand stopped in mid-air, and the fingertips almost touched the protective layer, but stopped firmly above it.

The woman with a beautiful face on the side lightly opened her red lips and stopped, "...wait and see, don't touch it yet."

The owner of the hand was silent for a while, and finally withdrew her hand. She looked up at the woman, and the hideous face hidden in the hood flashed by. The voice was soft like a woman, and said: "We missed it several times, I hope this time you Your judgment will not be wrong, sister."

The figures of the two sisters disappeared into the darkness again, and the night wind blew past, blowing away the last breath.

Lying on the bed, Lu Liang opened his eyes, turned his head to look in the direction outside the window, closed his eyes thoughtfully, and fell asleep again.

Really, it's not enough to make people sleep well...

……

After watching Yu Guisi fall asleep, Xia Yaoyi sat by the bed and looked at his father's ninety percent similar face for a while, her eyes were slightly moist.

Before she could fall into those memories again, Xia Yaoyi was startled, and looked at Yu Guisi reluctantly, covered him with the quilt, got up and walked out the door quietly.

When he felt that it was almost time, Yu Guisi opened his eyes, got out of bed, and quietly followed.

Autumn was approaching, and the night wind was getting a bit colder. Yu Guisi was unaware of all this. He concealed his breath, and silently stared at the two figures in front of him in the dark.

The corner of Xia Yaoyi's clothes was blown up by the wind, fluttering and falling in the air.

The wind conveyed the words of Xia Yaoyi and the man in black to Yu Guisi's ears.

"...Miss. Are you really not planning to go back? It's been so long, and there will be no results if you wait any longer..."

"No, I have to wait any longer. Koshiro said he would come back, and he will definitely come back."

Koshiro?

Yu Guisi was stunned for a moment, his doubts only appeared for a moment and then he was relieved.

That's right, Yue Lang...Yu Chaoyue, his father, the heartbreaker who abandoned their mother and son for 15 years and never returned.

Yu Guisi clenched his fists, trying his best to suppress the gushing emotions, his eyes were red.

He has to keep listening, only in this way can he learn more truth.

Hearing Xia Yaoyi's decisive words, the man in black couldn't help but fell silent.As an old servant of the Xia family for many years, he is naturally aware of those past events.

The young lady has never returned home for 15 years, and she refused to accept any help from the owner. She raised the young master with difficulty by herself, and her life was poor, and she really suffered a lot.

Even the young master was gifted with a single mutant wind spirit root, and the young lady had no intention of going back, so the Patriarch had no choice but to send someone to forcibly force the Xia family's best cultivation secret method over.

The man in black sighed inwardly.

As the young lady of the Xia family, the heart of the head of the family, how could she be coaxed away by such a poor boy... And this poor boy has nothing special about him, in terms of cultivation, he is not high, and he is a bit stupid , not to mention the ability to amaze everyone, maybe his greatest ability is to coax the young lady into a ecstasy.

However, 15 years ago, the lady who was about to give birth was left behind and never came back.

The man in black shook his head and didn't think about the past anymore, the patriarch's nagging instructions before he left were still in his ears.

As a father, the Patriarch is also worried about his daughter.

Trying to persuade the young lady to go back failed, and the Patriarch's expectations were once again in vain.But this is not the most important thing this time, so he collected himself and opened his mouth again: "Miss... since you don't want to go back, you should go back and take a look. The owner and madam miss you very much, and madam is even more worried. Turn your head..." Paused, hesitant and anticipating, "The Patriarch's birthday is next month, you can go and have a look... just a glance is fine, let the Patriarch and Madam be at ease..."

"This..." Xia Yaoyi was a little shaken, 15 years, whether it is long or short, when she was a teenager in the family, her parents gave her enough care, but she did it for her lover. Regardless of whether he eloped, got married and had children, and hasn't even seen his parents for 15 years, it is indeed a bit too much.

Thinking of this, his tone softened a bit, and he said: "Okay... I'll just go back once, and leave when we meet." He emphasized that he would leave after meeting.

Seeing that Xia Yaoyi finally agreed, even if it was just a one-time meeting, it would be great to leave, the black-robed man was overjoyed, and said: "Then please ask the miss to bring the young master back with me, I will wait for you in Yecheng."

After saying that, he respectfully packed his luggage and backed away, and his figure quickly disappeared from Xia Yaoyi's sight.

After staying in place for a while, Xia Yaoyi looked towards the direction of the wasteland with a worried expression, "Lang, Lang, when will you return..."

When Xia Yaoyi regained her expression and stepped into the courtyard door, she saw Yu Guisi stepping on the ground with bare feet on the ground alone and holding the door open with her hands on.

In my memory, my son has always been like this. He is very sensitive to his departure, and he always insists on staying up at this time and waiting for him to go home.

The cold moonlight hit the window lattice, casting a shadow, and the moonlight only illuminated half of Yu Guisi's face.

Memories and reality overlapped, and the small figure also overlapped with the tall and straight figure of the young man, very much like the person she missed.

...the son has grown up.

Xia Yaoyi's nose felt a little sore, time is really a cruel thing, 15 years seems like a flash.

"Mom, tell me another story."

Without asking any more questions, the boy said the words repeated thousands of times, as usual.

Mother closed the courtyard door and answered with a nasal voice, a tear slipped from the corner of her eye.

The house was silent, watching all this happen.

The oil lamp was lit, and the female voice also repeated the story that had been told for 15 years and thousands of times.

"Once upon a time there were brothers and sisters. One day, they carried a few catties of meat and said they were going to grandma's house to play. Walking by the ridge, the neighbors asked them where they were going, and they said they were going to grandma's house..."

　The story of Grandma Tiger is also called "The Story of Grandma Wolf".There are also such stories circulating in North Korea, Japan, Vietnam and other places, which are similar to the European "Little Red Riding Hood" stories.The main plot of the story is: the mother is away, the children are at home, and the beast or leprechaun pretends to be a grandmother, tricks the children, comes to the house, and eats the youngest one while sleeping with the children at night.The sisters fled to the tree outside the door and put the beast or goblin to death with clever tricks.

　　This story has been widely circulated throughout China, and there have been major or minor mutations in the circulation.There are many different names such as beasts or fairies.The AH Shexian story recorded in Huang Zhijun's "The Story of the Tiger's Wife" in the Qing Dynasty is about an old tigress. In the stories recorded in the early 30s, there are still tigers in some places in Zhejiang, Shandong, and Hunan. Many other modern records are different. Wen is not a tiger, but Grandma Wolf (AH, Jiangsu, Sichuan, Henan, Hebei, BJ, Shanxi, etc.).In addition, there are "Grandma Wild Bear" (Yongjia, Zhejiang), "Grandma Wolf", "Duck Turned into Woman", "Wild Fox", "Old Witch" (Yunnan), "Mother Fox" (Fujian), "Autumn Fox" "Grandmother" (Nantong, Jiangsu), "Savage Woman" (Qinghai) and so on.The children's names are also different, most of which are everyday utensils such as door bolt, door nose, broom bump, sheng'er, dou'er and so on.
