Not long after Heiyang Hongli received Xingyun's communication and learned that the other party was going home, they soon received new news.
The news came from Yao Qingkong Yinzisheng and his family. The content was very simple. They were also preparing to go back to the Five Elements Sect with their newborn child. They wanted to tell Hei Yang Hongli before leaving.
Yao Qingkong told Elder Huole and the others that after Yin Zisheng accompanied Yao Qingkong to give birth to the child in Yao Wang Sect, they would return to Five Elements Sect to share the pressure of other elders.
But now that the child has been born for nearly a hundred days, he has a little bit of his own ability to resist risks, and at the same time, with Yao Qingkong and the others protecting him, he should be able to reach the Five Elements Sect safely easily.
Hei Yang Hongli naturally had nothing to say when they were leaving, but Xiao Huo was still thinking about her little sister.
"Goodbye Hongli."
On the outskirts of Wuse City, Yao Qingkong hugged his tightly wrapped child, said goodbye to Heiyang Hongli Xiaohuo with a smile: "Go back and let Zisheng's "family" get to know each other, and I'll come and play with you next time!"
"Ah, bon voyage."
Hongli Heiyang waved his hands calmly, with an indifferent expression on his face.
To the two of them, there was no difference at all whether Yao Qingkong's family was in the Yaowang Sect or the Five Elements Sect.
Anyway, as long as something happens, a communication spirit stone can solve it. Even if there are more important things, Heiyang Hongli has a special way to get there quickly.
But the two of them didn't care, but their daughter Xiaohuo looked reluctant to leave.
"When will little sister come back?"
Xiao Huo looked at the child in Yao Qingkong's arms with a look of reluctance, and couldn't help but blurt out, "Will the little sister come back?"
"Hey, of course we will be back, Xiaohuo."
Yao Qingkong smiled helplessly, while patting the child gently, she explained: "Whenever I want to go back to my parents' home, I will definitely bring little Mu Qiu back.
Well, or whenever I feel tired of living in the Five Elements Sect, or I miss you, we can come back at any time. "
"Be sure to come back soon!"
Xiao Huo had a slightly resentful expression on his face and said faintly: "What if the little sister forgets Xiao Huo!"
"Ah this..."
Yao Qingkong was stunned, looking at his daughter's little face that was lost in the lake, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
"Xiao Huo, Xiao Mu Qiu doesn't remember anything yet.
Although I think it’s hurtful to say this, theoretically speaking, I can’t forget you because I don’t remember you at all…”
"What?!
"
The small fire was struck by five thunders, and it turned into a stone statue with a shocked look on its face.
"Hey, Yao Qingkong, what do you mean?"
Hong Li looked at her daughter's suspicious expression, frowned, stretched out her hand to pull Xiao Huo down in front of her, stroked Xiao Huo's head to comfort her, and looked at Yao Qingkong with an unhappy face.
"You bully my daughter, right? You want to see my Xiaohuo cry for you, right?"
"Why don't you remember my little fire? It's like you are so noble."
Hong Li said fiercely: "If you don't want to be friends with our Xiaohuo, just say so. Don't beat around the bush like this. We're not surprised!"
"No, no, no, Mom."
Xiaohuo hurriedly tugged on the corner of Hongli's clothes and whispered: "Xiaohuo is still rare, don't say it so harshly..."
"Um?!"
Hong Li's mouth twitched, she raised her head and glanced at Yao Qingkong. With a look of helplessness, she pulled Xiao Huo and hid in a small corner behind Hei Yang and squatted down. She whispered seriously: "Xiao Huo, don't tear down Mom, Mom is here to help." You are fighting for justice!
Let’s not talk about whether people can remember, what is it that you are so rare, Xiao Huo, as my and your father’s child, you have to have the same backbone as us, you can’t be so..."
"ah?"
Xiao Huo looked in disbelief and couldn't help blurting out: "The backbone of mom and dad..."
"Xiao Huo, shut up, don't continue talking."
Hongli glared at Xiaohuo, took a deep breath, and said seriously: "Remember, there are some things, this kind of thing..."
"Hey, Hongli, don't teach other people's children bad things there..."
Yao Qingkong looked at the mother and daughter Didi Gugu behind Heiyang, and couldn't help but have a black line on his head.
She always felt that the evil and dirty Hong Li was mentally polluting the innocent and kind-hearted Xiao Huo, such as secretly saying bad things about her Yao Qingkong.
"Xiaohuo, don't listen to your mother's nonsense."
Yao Qingkong said helplessly: "Aunt Yao is really just telling the truth. After all, human babies are not like Li Huohe who can remember many things right after they are born..."
"Humph, nonsense!"
Hong Li took Xiao Huo's hand and stood up, looked at Yao Qingkong with an unhappy look on her face, and snorted: "I said before that I wanted my Xiao Huo to be my sister, but now I can't remember what I am talking about.
Is this important? Don’t you just naturally remember it when you grow up? "
"Yes, yes!"
Yao Qingkong responded quickly. She looked surprised and felt wronged and said, "That's what I meant. When Xiao Muqiu plays with Xiao Huo more in the future, they will definitely become familiar with it!"
"Then you are chattering a lot."
Hong Li snorted: "My Xiaohuo asked if your doll still recognizes her as her sister, and whether they can play with her in the future. Can't you answer directly? Do you have to pour cold water on my Xiaohuo?"
"Ah this..."
Yao Qingkong felt that Hongli was making trouble unreasonably, but after thinking about it, she felt that what she said made sense, and then thinking about it again, she felt that it was unreasonable...
"Okay, okay, my question is over."
Yao Qingkong sighed helplessly, looked at Xiaohuo, smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, Xiaohuo, we will be back after the New Year.
The Five Elements Sect is not suitable for raising children, but we still feel that the Five Colors City is more suitable for raising a family..."
"Yeah, you must come back!"
Xiao Huo nodded repeatedly, with a look of expectation on his face.
"Ha, just look at your pitiful expression, Xiaohuo, I don't dare not come back."
Yao Qingkong walked forward with a smile, holding the child in one hand and touching Xiao Huo's head with the other, unable to help but sigh.
"No matter how much I go through, I still feel that the friendship between children is the most sincere and beautiful."
"That's true."
Hong Li echoed faintly, suddenly thinking of something, she turned to look at Hei Yang, and then she saw Hei Yang suddenly turning his head to look at her with a strange expression.
"..."
[Heiyang: Ahem, um, it’s true. Friendship in childhood is truly sincere and beautiful. It’s great~]
[Hongli: As a result, it will become bad when you grow up, right? Ah! 】
[Hei Yang: That, that, this, this is force majeure, the friendship is too deep, so...]
[Hongli: So you just tricked yourself into getting the bed, right? Hey, hey, hey! 】
[Heiyang: Ah, is this allowed to be said, hehehe...]
[Hongli: Alas, some people——]
[Hei Yang: Don’t be weird about me! 】
[Hongli: Hehehehe. 】
When Yao Qingkong was sighing about his childhood memories and the good things between children, he didn't notice Hei Yang Hongli's eyebrows at all.
"Ahem, um, okay, okay, if you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good."
Hongli coughed twice and turned her attention to herself, looking at Xiao Muqiu. She suddenly smiled and a small flamingo-shaped pendant appeared in her hand, which she placed gently in Xiao Muqiu's arms.
"Since Xiao Muchiu is Xiao Huo's sister, I have to give you something, hehe."
"Ah this..."
Yao Qingkong was stunned for a moment. When he saw the small pendant, his eyes shrank slightly and he was startled. He quickly declined in embarrassment and said: "This, this, this, this is no longer needed. Oops, what is this for..."
"Okay, okay, what are you pushing?"
Hongli rolled her eyes at Yao Qingkong and hummed, "Where's Xiao Muqiu? Have you given it to me?"
"..."
Yao Qingkong was speechless.
"that……"
Yao Qingkong still couldn't help but said: "When Xiao Muqiu celebrated her birthday, I remember that you had already gone with the ceremony..."
"Huh? Everyone who comes here is almost polite, right?"
Hong Li's eyes suddenly turned sharp, she looked at Yao Qingkong, and hummed: "Or, it turns out that the relationship between our two families is very different from ordinary friends, or even just passers-by, in your eyes?"
"Ah, this is absolutely not the case!"
Yao Qingkong quickly shook her head in denial. After a pause, she explained: "The main reason is that your previous gifts were very precious, and now..."
"Huh? Our gifts are precious, but other people's gifts are disdainful, right?"
Hong Li squinted her eyes and said, "Do you still think that one's feelings can be compared solely from the price of materials?
It turns out that in your eyes, those friends don’t care too much, right? "
Yao Qingkong: "???"
"No, sister, don't put the blame on me, stop it."
Yao Qingkong couldn't help but reached out and patted the pile of hats off his head, sighed and said: "Okay, okay, I'll just let Xiao Muqiu take it. Is that okay?"
"Ha, that's right."
Hongli smiled, patted Yao Qingkong's shoulder and said, "Who among us is following whom, right?"
"uh-huh."
Yao Qingkong responded with a helpless smile.
"Qingkong, let's go, let's go!"
In the distance, the small airship driven by Yin Zisheng gradually rose and waved to his wife and daughter.
"Oh ho, it's coming."
Yao Qingkong responded quickly, held the child and flew up gently, waving his hands and saying: "Then, Xiaoli, let's go first. I'll see you later. If you have anything to do, please contact us via Lingshi!"
"Hey, I understand."
Hongli Heiyang waved goodbye.
Xiaohuo raised one hand and waved, loudly saying: "You must come back!"
"OK…………"
The sound gradually faded away.
A family of three stood high up, watching the small airship gradually disappear into the distance.
"Huh, let's go."
Hei Yang turned his head and looked to the other side. The setting sun on the other side was also slowly disappearing in the horizon.
"It's time to go home for dinner, wife and daughter."
Heiyang greeted Hongli Xiaohuo.
"Uh-huh, let's go."
Seeing Xiao Huo still looking towards the horizon, Hong Li couldn't help but smile helplessly. She stretched out her hand to pick up Xiao Huo and held her in her arms. She rubbed his little face and teased with a smile: "Have you lost your soul?"
"Oh, how could it be?"
Xiao Huo came back to his senses, put his arms around his mother's neck, and let Hong Li hold her and follow Hei Yang towards home.
"Mom, when will they come back?"
Xiaohuo couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"How long have you been gone? Are you asking now?"
Hong Li patted Xiao Huo on the back in a funny way.
"What's wrong, Xiaohuo can only play with other little girls. Didn't we have Aunt Lianlian, Aunt Huihui, Aunt Qiaoqiao and the others before?
Why, do you feel that if you are not of the same generation, there will be a big gap? "
"Well, Aunt Huihui and Aunt Qiaoqiao will go to the Five Elements Sect to practice after the Chinese New Year, so they won't have so much time to play with Xiaohuo."
Xiao Huo sighed, shook his head and said: "There is also Aunt Lianlian. She has lived in our Five Color City for a year. When her family came over during the Chinese New Year, she went back to the capital to live with her. I don't know how long it will take before she can come back. .
Xiao Huo will have no one to play with when the time comes. Grandma and grandma are very, very good to Xiao Huo, but there is a big age difference between them and Xiao Huo. It is difficult to tell them many things, for fear that they will feel childish.
Of course, Xiao Huo knows that if it were grandma and grandma, no matter how childish she felt, she would never say anything to Xiao Huo, but..."
Xiaohuo held back his "but" for a long time, but in the end he couldn't say anything.
"By then no one will play with Xiao Huo."
At this point, Xiao Huo's red hair drooped down and he sighed, not knowing what to do.
"Well……"
Hong Li looked at Xiao Huo in her arms and felt a little confused. She always felt that this expression looked familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a while.
……………………
"Crash..."
"It's raining. Why is it raining?"
Under the eaves, three-year-old Xiao Hongli opened her eyes with flickering eyes, watching the raindrops falling from the sky and gathering into "small streams" in the yard and in the city.
Watching the raindrops ripple in the Jishui Pond, watching the small streams gathering in front of you.
Letting the wind blow her hair, Xiao Hongli lowered her head and looked at herself in the stagnant water. The cute girl had an expressionless look on her face.
"laugh……"
Xiao Hongli put her hands on the corners of her mouth, smiled gently on both sides, looked at the water for a few times, and then put her hands down.
"Too stupid……"
Xiao Hongli sighed, picked up a small wooden stick, and gently hit the water surface, tearing apart the ripples of fantasy.
The scene in front of her changed, and she saw Little Heiyang sitting on a stone alone, tilted his head, and walked over.
……………………
"Although my personality feels much different from ours when we were kids, the expressions and demeanor are so similar..."
Hong Li looked at Xiao Huo's expression and whispered in her heart.
She never thought that Xiao Huo, who had always been cheerful and optimistic, would feel lonely one day.
Obviously her parents are around, can't we go into the little room in her heart and take a look and pull her out?
Hongli thought.
According to her and Hei Yang's personalities, it would be very simple to accompany Xiao Huo to read, eat, play cards or something.
As for the other things, it’s not that they won’t be accommodating and considerate, and when it comes to playing, both parties must be happy, right?
Well, although being with Xiao Huo will be very happy, that kind of happiness is a different kind of happiness...
Hongli was thinking wildly in her mind.
She thinks that this kind of thing is not something that can only be played with one or two more people, just because she feels that there are too few people who understand her.
Otherwise, crossing space is actually only part of the difficulty.
The loneliness you are experiencing is called confusion, and the loneliness you have experienced is growth.
This shows that Xiao Huo is also growing up. As a child, as long as he clings to his mother, he is no longer the only one who can make the world happy. Is this something that all children must go through...
Hong Li felt a little sad in her heart, and suddenly thought about when she felt independent and not so clingy to her mother, what did her mother think when she was relieved?
After becoming a mother, Hongli gained a lot of happiness from it, but this time, she somewhat understood how difficult it was to be an excellent mother.
But even so, Hongli didn't want to hold back Xiaohuo's growth. The time she looked toward the future might be lonely and long, and she hoped that everything would be sunny after her hard work.
If one day, I feel that I can no longer be the guide and continue to move forward with my children.
Then just be a fellow traveler, and you have to walk the road ahead on your own...
"What are you thinking about?"
A big hand hugged Hongli from behind, and Heiyang's gentle voice came.
"It's just random thoughts."
"Is there anything you're hiding from me?"
"Ah, okay, okay, I'll just tell you..."
"That's it?"
"Huh? That's it? Is this a small matter? Damn it! Please pay attention to it!"
"No no, I mean."
Hei Yang patted Hong Li's head, pointed at himself, and said with a smile: "We have helped the family get out of confusion once, haven't we? Let's find a solution to the child's problem together."
"Well, that's what I said. I'll go with my parents someday to get some advice..."
"Is this right? What do you want to eat tonight?"
"Ha, you can make me whatever I want to eat, right?"
"What are you thinking about? What do you want to eat? I can help you order something from the canteen, hehe..."
"Hey, bitch, I knew it!"
"Just tell me whether you want to eat it or not!"
"Climb, crawl, crawl, big or small, how can you talk to your mother? It's my fault, my fault. Hei Yang, you are a rebellious son raised by your mother. Xiao Huo can't be like you..."
"Classmate Hongli, can you say it again and let me hear it?"
"If you don't say it, don't say it. I'm not stupid. Tsk tsk. If I say it, I'll die."
"You also know that I will kill you right now!"
"No, no, husband, brother, father, ah ah ah..."
