Cultivating Immortality, Starts with Green Plum

Chapter 68 You Must Return It to Me
Every member of Xuefutu has a chance to go home to visit his family the day before he goes out on a mission.

This is still quite humane. After all, it is possible that you will never come back after going on a mission this time.

For you, or for your family, this may be the last time you see them.

A year later, Xu Ming returned to the Xu Mansion.

Before this, the Xu family had not received any notification.

When the housekeeper of the Xu family saw Xu Ming coming back, he quickly notified the old lady and others.

The Xu family naturally knew the rules of Xuefutu.

When Xu Ming came back at this time, even if Xu Ming didn't say it, everyone knew what Xu Ming was going to do.

And when Xuefutu carried out his mission, the people of Wu knew what it meant.

They looked at Xu Ming with complicated expressions.

If something happened, Xu Ming wouldn’t even know if he could find the body.

But at this point, Xu Ming, who is already a member of Xuefutu, cannot refuse the mission, otherwise he would be disobeying the holy order. There is no need for them to persuade him.

When Xu Ming returned to the courtyard, he found that his mother was not there.

Xu Ming heard from his aunt that his mother was allowed to return to her hometown to worship her.

The big white goose also followed.

With the protection of the big white goose, Xu Ming felt much more at ease.

In fact, by now, the people in the Xu Mansion have also noticed the extraordinary nature of the big white goose, and there is a tendency for it to turn into a monster.

But no one had any improper thoughts about the big white goose, such as using it to make soup or giving it as a gift.

After all, not many people are fools. Now that the big white goose has become intelligent, it may be able to become a guard of the Xu Mansion in the future.

As Chen Suya was from the Xu family, she couldn't run away, so naturally the big white goose would follow her.

The most important thing is that a mere big white goose that is about to turn into a monster is not enough to make the Xu family offend Xu Ming.

Everyone can see how successful Xu Ming will be if he comes out of Xuefutu and passes the imperial examination!
That person definitely wanted to keep Xu Ming by his side and train him.

Therefore, the Xu family also specially gave the big white goose a lot of resources for cultivation in order to please Xu Ming.

At night, sitting in this empty courtyard, Xu Ming felt a little lonely.

Looking at Xiaochunyuan where he had lived since birth, to be honest, Xu Ming didn't know whether he could come back alive.

"Fifth brother."

Just as Xu Ming was sighing, Xu Pangda poked his head out from the gate of the courtyard, holding a box of something in his hand, which was probably the "leftover pastries" made by the old lady.

"Third brother." Xu Ming smiled.

Xu Pangda walked over to Xu Ming and sat down, placing the lunch box on the table. "Fifth brother, my mother made a lot of cakes again, and these are leftovers. You can have a try."

"it is good."

Xu Ming smiled, opened the lunch box and ate a piece.

"How does it taste?" Xu Pangda asked.

Xu Ming nodded: "Auntie's craftsmanship has improved."

"Hehehe, I think so too." Xu Pangda smiled naively.

Xu Ming glanced at Xu Pangda and said, "I heard that Third Brother didn't go to the imperial examination this year?"

Xu Pangda nodded: "Yes."

Xu Ming was a little puzzled: "Why?"

Xu Pangda rubbed his hands shyly and said, "I feel that the imperial examination is incomplete without you, my fifth brother, so I told mother that I will take the examination with you in four years, and we two brothers will pass the exam together!"

Xu Ming was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "Okay"

"Fifth brother." Xu Pangda called Xu Ming's name.

"Hmm?" Xu Ming took a sip of tea. "I heard from them that every time Xuefutu carries out a mission, he is always in danger of death. Is that true?" Xu Pangda asked worriedly.

"It's not that exaggerated, it's just that the danger is indeed greater." Xu Ming explained.

"Oh." Xu Pangda nodded, then took out an amulet from his arms.

"What is this?" Xu Ming asked.

Xu Pangda scratched his head embarrassedly: "This is a talisman I wore when I was a child. My mother said that I had a serious illness before, and a very powerful monk drew this talisman for me to keep me safe.

It’s of no use now, so I’ll give it to you, my fifth brother.

But when you come back, you must return it to me."

Xu Ming smiled and looked at the little fat boy who was not good at expressing himself: "Okay, I will definitely come back and give it back to you."

A remote courtyard in the east city of Wudu.

A man with slicked-back hair pushed open the gate.

When the man with slicked-back hair pushed open the gate, more than a dozen children in the yard all looked over.

In an instant, the eyes of more than a dozen children lit up.

"Brother Li"

"Brother Li"

When the children saw Li Han coming back, they all rushed over.

"Hey, I'm back." The man with the slicked-back hair put down the big and small bags in his hands, "I bought you roast duck, half a duck each."

"Great~"

"Thank you, Brother Li~"

"Let's eat roast duck."

The children left with the roast duck and sat down in an orderly manner at the wooden table in the yard without any scramble.

"came back?"

In a room in the courtyard, a woman who looked to be in her twenties walked out.

The woman was not very pretty, but she had a delicate face. She wore a linen shirt and her hair was tied into two simple ponytails, giving her a simple and plain beauty.

"Sister Ye Ye, I'm back." Li Han said with a smile.

The woman named Ye Ye walked forward and compared with her hands: "You have grown taller, taller than me."

"The food in the army is good." Li Han smiled foolishly, then quickly took out a piece of cloth from his arms and spread it out. Inside was a hairpin, "Sister Ye Ye, this is for you."

Looking at the golden hairpin, Ye Ye was stunned for a moment. He did not refuse, but he did not accept it either: "This thing is very expensive, right?"

"Not bad." Li Han spread Ye Ye's palm and placed the hairpin in her palm, "Sister Ye Ye, just accept it. Our military salary is very high and we can't spend it all."

Ye Ye glanced at Li Han, then nodded: "Then I'll accept it, but can't you only come back once every four or five years?"

"Ah? This time, I passed the military assessment. I have one day off and will return to the army tomorrow." Li Han lied.

Ye Ye looked into Li Han's eyes, then nodded: "Well, since it's rare for you to come back, I'll make you something delicious."

"Okay." Li Han wiped his drool, "I miss the delicious chicken you made, Sister Ye Ye."

Ye Ye smiled and said, "I'll do it for you. Please sit for a while."

"Ah."

Li Han played with the children in the yard for a while. Seeing Sister Ye Ye busy in the kitchen, Li Han sneaked into Ye Ye's room and put all his salary for the past year under the woman's pillow.

"After doing all this."

Li Han walked out the door and looked at Sister Ye Ye in the kitchen. He put his big hand on the copper coin strung with a red thread around his neck and smiled foolishly.
