The half-year-old child who had been carrying water came over and said to Jie Xu, "Girl, please rest. It's almost noon, and food has been prepared in the back room."
Jie Xu responded absently, somehow feeling that something was wrong.
This big house is the residence of the village chief, and is where the villagers usually gather. There is a clinic for medical treatment, and there is a small house attached to the back, which is the village's gathering place.
When they entered, the villagers were already preparing food.
Since they were guests, the village chief prepared another table, so they didn't need to go to the kitchen to prepare the food themselves.
A few large pieces of stewed meat and a few dishes of side dishes were very crude, but compared to the meals in the hands of other villagers, they were rare delicacies.
An Qi took a bite of the big meat and said, "I asked around and found out that this is the grassland south of Boshan Mountain, and we entered the secret realm from the north of Boshan Mountain. We have to go around in a circle to look back at Junshan Mountain."
Jie Xu glanced at him, "You really eat it."
The students from the Military Academy and the military camp were all very strict with their mouths. An Qi did not touch the remaining dishes. Feeling a little guilty, he said to please, "Isn't this to avoid wasting the villagers' thoughts?"
"It's enough to give it a try. I just sent a secret message back, but for fear of traveling, we'd better report it in person. Let's leave after eating."
"OK."
Day and night change very quickly on the grassland. In the time of a meal, the sun that was dazzling just now has already set in the west, leaving a dim sky.
Jie Xu didn't take a few steps before he was stunned. In the oblique shadow of the dead totem pole at Sanchakou, the man stood quietly, vaguely as if he had been separated by several time and space.
The man looked away from the totem and looked at it indifferently, "It's not easy to walk at night, so be careful."
Jie Xu heard the neat sound of hoofbeats and looked through the dilapidated fence, vaguely seeing a figure.
In this situation, she felt a strong threat. Is this person forcing her?
Jie Xu took action decisively.
What happened?
Before she could come out, a peaceful force defused the spell she was about to activate and imprisoned her in place. An Qi on the side hasn't reacted yet!
A battle of wits started and ended quietly, and Jie Xu lost to the point where his hair grew cold.
"What do you want to do?"
"You're thinking too much. I don't have the leisure time to do anything to you." said the man who had enough time to dig a basket of herbs for others.
"But it's not a good habit to leave without saying goodbye."
Jie Xu really couldn't feel her murderous intent and anger, so he followed her words cautiously, "It's indeed rude of me to leave without saying goodbye, but we are eager to return to the tribe, so we hope you can make it easier."
"Oh." The man lowered his eyes, as if he was not interested, "Be careful on the road."
Jie Xu looked strange and didn't understand her intention at all, so he could only salute and say, "Goodbye."
Yi Changsheng looked sideways at her, "Speaking of which, I do need your help with something."
What else can he do to Jie Xu? He is stronger than others.
"You say..."
"Help me take care of the kids."
"What?" Jie Xu was confused.
Yi Changsheng took out a white ball from his sleeve and stuffed it into Jie Xu's arms.
Wait, I haven't agreed yet. Jie Xu is a girl in her twenties, clumsily holding the cub and feeling at a loss.
"I have heard about the name of the Military Academy a long time ago. With her qualifications, it is enough to join your side."
Jie Xu fidgeted to stop the cub who had just woken up from pulling her hair, "Please think twice, the Military Academy is also considered a clan school of my Day clan. Once you enter the Military Academy, you will be a member of the Day clan whether you live or die."
Yi Changsheng gave her a meaningful look and said, "It couldn't be better."
"..." Jie Xu wanted to protest, but she left without any delay!
Is this really your biological child?
(It wasn’t originally...)
What should we do now? Jie Xu looked at the cheerful cub with a frown, and An Qi didn't know what to say. "Why don't we go back to Wangjun Mountain?"
Nvying depressedly followed Yi Changsheng with the ghost soldiers she had just organized, "Why did you leave the child behind?"
"She has her place."
"Then where are you going?"
"Go to a lot of places."
"Where are the many places?"
The sky is vast and the earth is vast. There are thousands of roads with different paths, but all roads lead to the same destination. If there are no different paths, how can we reach the same destination?
Yi Changsheng and Nv Ying were walking gracefully, but Jie Xu could not get up any more gracefully. At this moment, he was lying on the ground overwhelmed, with the cub holding its toes sitting on his belly.
An Qi didn't know where to put his hands, "Hey, hey, what's going on with this little brat? I just said she's special."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jie Xu felt like he was being pressed at the bottom of the mountain. He raised his hand to lift the cub up, feeling as if he was shaking a mountain that reached the sky, feeling hopeless.
The cub stared at Jie Xu with bright black eyes. An Qi looked on and guessed, "She is not looking for that Excellency."
Jie Xu's expression was dull. She was also strapped for taking care of a child, not to mention that this child was different from other children.
"Alas."
An Qi scratched his head and pulled out a Bagua activity plate from his storage bag. This was the first toy he got in the Military Academy when he was a child. "Look at how fun this is. Can you play with it?"
Jie Xu didn't feel the weight on his body lighten at all, and said matter-of-factly, "Your mother sent you to our Day Clan. You can come back to her when you are successful in your studies."
The child's bright black eyes were stained with moisture, and Jie Xu felt relaxed. He quickly sat up and hugged her, "Your mother didn't abandon you. She just wanted you to get in touch with more people. From now on, the Day Clan will be your family." ."
The cub stayed sleepily in Jie Xu's arms, neither crying nor fussing, its white and tender little fingers fiddling with the movable wooden grids in the Bagua tray.
Jie Xu didn't know what to do anymore. He sighed and summoned a spirit pony, "We'll talk after we get back first."
The sun and moon alternated several times in the wilderness, and they hurriedly returned to Wangjun Mountain and went to Deyong Peak, where the Deacon Hall is located, to hand over the task.
"The news you sent back before has been submitted. The higher-ups will arrange manpower to fight for the ownership of that secret realm. Your assessment results will be available in half a day. Congratulations first."
When Jie Xu and An Qi heard what Mr. Shen, who was responsible for their assessment, said, they knew that they had passed the exam, so they suppressed their excitement and held their hands in thanks.
Mr. Shen said happily, "Don't worry, I have something else to tell you."
The Military Academy is different from other sects. There is no inheritance relationship between masters and apprentices. There is only teaching and learning between teachers and students, as well as the inheritance of military souls throughout the Military Academy and the army.
Therefore, teachers and instructors are all called "Sir", and they are all monks in the realm of life and death. The Mr. Shen in front of me was once a leader among the disciples of the Military Academy. He entered the realm of life and death at the age of less than fifty and chose to stay and teach. , Jie Xu and An Qi both respected him and listened carefully to his suggestions on their future direction.
Mr. Shen pointed out their respective strengths and weaknesses based on their performance and daily behavior in several important assessments, and finally provided a reference for which military camps or deacon positions they should go to.
The two of them have benefited a lot, thank you again.
Before he was about to leave, Xie Xu reported about the cub.
Mr. Shen was not sure either. Logically speaking, they would not accept such a disciple with unknown origins and special responsibilities.
"You should take her to Feiyingyuan first, and I will make a decision after asking the vice-dean."
"yes."
The two left Deyong Peak and went straight to Feiying Garden.
Bingshuyuan will adopt some abandoned babies and orphans. Those under six years old and unable to go to the Enlightenment Hall will be taken care of in Feiyingyuan.
When Jie Xu handed over the cub to the steward, she was still a little bit reluctant and worried. She was reluctant that the child she had been with for several days was leaving her, and worried that she would bully other children and the steward.
After repeatedly admonishing the steward, the two left.
As soon as they left, the steward took the cub to the Tianzihao residence and handed it over to the care of a dedicated person.
