I have a magical tree

At the door of the alchemy room, Ge Lao suddenly turned around, "You go back first, I have something to do!"

After saying that, without waiting for Xu Dao to answer, Ge Lao left directly.

He didn't even open an umbrella, and walked out in the rain.

Of course, there is no umbrella here! After all, it has been dry for several months, and no one expected it to rain today. Naturally, no umbrella will be prepared here.

Xu Dao watched the teacher go away, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and began to clean the alchemy furnace in an orderly manner.

He had discussed with the teacher before that if this drought was really caused by evil spirits, then once the sky changed and it started to rain one day, it would mean that an unprecedented evil disaster was about to begin.

So, Xu Dao and the teacher, facing this sudden heavy rain, did not have a trace of joy.

Watching the rain getting heavier and heavier, from the light rain at the beginning, to moderate rain, and finally to heavy rain, as if to pay off the rain owed in the previous few months at once.

The black clouds have completely covered the sky. It was clearly noon, but it seemed to be dark all of a sudden.

Xu Dao packed up the alchemy furnace and closed the door of the palace. He put one hand behind his back and stretched out the other hand to catch the rain. The rain was still hot at this time, not cool at all.

For half a year, the heat accumulated on this land is not so easy to suppress.

He didn't know what the teacher was doing, but he thought it was because of the problems he, his mother, and his younger sister had, and even the problems that everyone in Yanghe County had.

But he didn't know whether this problem could be solved, and he was afraid that even the teacher himself didn't know.

Xu Dao felt that the rain was gradually getting cooler, so he didn't stay and went straight into the rain.

When he returned to the house in the inner square, his younger sister was having fun in the rain. His mother stood under the eaves and kept shouting, asking her to go in quickly and not get wet in the rain, but Xu Lu turned a deaf ear.

Xu Dao stepped forward and took her back.

"Brother, it's raining!" Xu Lu was still very excited even though he was caught.

The hot days had lasted for several months. It suddenly rained today, so she was naturally happy, and this kind of happiness was pure. She didn't have to worry about the things that Xu Dao needed to worry about.

"Well, it's raining, go take a shower, and then change clothes. Don't go out in the rain again. If you don't listen, I won't buy you roast duck in the future."

To deal with a child of Xu Lu's age, you have to grasp her weakness, and Xu Lu's weakness is food.

Then, he took out an umbrella from home and went to the outer clinic again.

"Come with me, we can't stay here!" Xu Dao said to A Bao, who was huddled under the eaves watching the rain. And the cat slave was opening his mouth to catch the water dripping from the eaves.

A Bao was stunned at first, but didn't ask why. She went straight into the door and packed the old clothes that Xu Dao gave her, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that Xu Dao gave her were all packed in the innermost, and then the small urn of her mother's ashes. After coming out, she hugged the cat slave in her arms, indicating that she was ready.

Xu Dao handed her an umbrella and took her back to the inner courtyard.

Looking at the new residence, which was several times more magnificent than the small courtyard in the outer courtyard, Abao had no joy in her eyes, only a deep fear.

Everything here was unfamiliar to her, and she felt out of place.

A Niang took the bag from Abao's hand like she was treating her own child, and cleaned up the room in the west wing for her to live in.

The wing room was where the master could live, while the servants could only live in the back room in the front yard.

However, it seemed that Xu Dao never said that Abao was a servant.

And Abao just stood under the eaves at a loss and looked down at the cat slave in his arms.

The little sister who had just taken a bath was very happy to see the new sister in the family.

On weekdays, Xu Dao and A Niang were strict and would not let her go out easily, so naturally there would be no playmates of the same age.

If an ordinary person heard Xu Lu calling her sister, he would probably say "I dare not" and then bow his head to apologize, but Abao didn't understand these things. The only reaction she could give was the surprise in her eyes.

Because Xu Dao never trained her as a slave, but taught her to read and read, and would teach her martial arts in the future. So she naturally didn't know how a slave should react at this time.

"Sister, can I play with your cat?" As Xu Dao expected, Xu Lu fell in love with Abao's cat slave at first sight.

This time Abao responded and handed the cat slave in her hand to Xu Lu.

Then, Xu Lu asked again, what does the cat slave eat on weekdays? What does it drink? Can it catch mice...

It seems that there are endless questions, and then Abao said the first words in this new home.

Although it is still dry, it is a good start.

...

"Is there something wrong?" When they arrived at a secluded place, A Niang asked Xu Dao, her tone full of worry.

Xu Dao, contrary to her usual behavior, brought A Bao, who had been living in the outer area, here. If she said nothing happened, she would not believe it.

"Well, I'm afraid there will be a lot of monsters these days, and the outer area is no longer safe. But there is no big problem here, don't worry, mother!"

With this heavy rain, it is not only cool, but also countless monsters. According to the teacher, in the records of the court, almost every time a super-grade monster awakens or travels, it will cause a riot among all monsters within a hundred miles. Those monsters with a realm strength lower than the super-grade will instinctively stay away from the place where the super-grade monster is because of fear, thus forming a tide of monsters, which spreads to the surroundings, which is what people call a disaster.

However, in order to reassure A Niang, Xu Dao whispered again: "A Niang, I think I can break through to the seventh rank tonight."

A Niang nodded, but she was not very surprised, just turned around to cook.

The dinner was very sumptuous, but A Bao stood by and did not dare to go to the table.

"Do you still remember the deal between us?" Xu Dao asked.

A Bao nodded, of course he would not forget it, it was right to say it was a deal, it was right to say it was an agreement.

"Then come to the table to eat, from now on, you will eat whatever we eat, and you will have what she has. This is also part of the deal." Xu Dao pointed at Xu Lu again.

If he just needed to train a slave, he would not have to go through so much trouble. What he needs is someone who can entrust his family and family affairs and has the ability to be independent.

And the best way for such a person is to turn him into a family member.

In the past few months, he has been examining her character, and only if she passes the test will he bring her back to this courtyard.

If she does not pass the test, she will never come here in her life. At most, she will stay in the outer courtyard and look at the courtyard.

As for whether teaching her martial arts and the consumed elixirs would be considered a waste? What does this mean to Xu Dao now?

Abao was still thinking, but Xu Lu couldn't wait any longer. She slipped off the chair and pulled Abao to the table, and pulled her sleeve to let her sit down.

And A Niang put a big bowl specially prepared for Abao in front of Abao, which was already full of dishes.

"Eat quickly! Eat the way you eat in the outer courtyard, eat the same way here!" A Niang smiled and rubbed Abao's head.

Abao picked up the chopsticks and buried his head in the rice, but the rice today was so salty!

Xu Dao smiled. The most expensive thing in the world has never been elixirs, talismans, or gold and silver treasures, but sincerity!

From the time Xu Lu called her sister, from the time A Niang treated her as a daughter, from the time she picked up the rice bowl and took the first bite of rice, she was already a member of the Xu family.
