In the first year of Xuanjing, in the middle of August.
On the day of the funeral of the late Emperor, the entire country of Dai Viet mourned, and no celebrations or red events were allowed within a month.
By the time Tianbao and his party returned to Tubei Village, the ban had ended.
The place of exile was filled with joy.
The new emperor ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the whole world, and many people in the penal colony who had been innocently implicated and convicted could return home.
Happy villagers can be seen everywhere in Tubei Village, and people with mixed feelings and tears of joy can be heard in every corner.
The only two exceptions are the Xiao Su family and the Huo family.
Huo Ziheng could not leave the place of exile due to his status and background.
Xiao Su's family... Grandpa Su and Grandma Su are already lying down.
Amnesty is of no use to their family. The faces of the few brats in the family are all on the wanted notices of the Nine Kingdoms, and the notices are still posted on the walls of the border city.
They probably won't be able to remove that wanted notice a hundred years from now.
Going back will only harm Dahuai Village.
Some people can't leave, and naturally some people are homesick.
Since the imperial edict reached the exile, villagers came to Xiao Su's house to say goodbye every day. In a short period of time, the village was nearly half empty.
The rest have been exiled for a long time, and their relatives are all around them. They are already alienated from the people in their hometown. Even if they go back, they may not be able to live as freely here, so they are determined to take root here.
On the other hand, nothing has changed in Fengyun City, it is still as lively as ever.
On the top floor of Wangque Tower, Bai Xiaofeng lives.
Bai Xiaofeng sat in front of the guqin, and the smoke from the Boshan incense burner curled up. He rarely played the qin, his eyes were fixedly looking ahead, and the corners of his mouth could not control twitching.
What he saw was a tied-up man in black lying on the ground struggling for his life. After realizing that he couldn't get away, he began to jerk up and down, like a fish out of water, trying to break out of the water.
"Are you sure he's not a human?" He turned his head and looked at the girl sitting under the window sill.
Tianbao said sadly, "I hope he is human."
People who have been beaten too many times will at least know how to assess the situation and not be so noisy.
It’s not that people don’t change after being beaten repeatedly.
Her space is now full of dirt pits.
Bai Yu took out the iron whistle that Tianbao disliked after using it once from his arms, and handed it to Bai Xiaofeng, "Godfather, look at this, do you recognize it? This kind of iron whistle is rare, isn't it? The iron in the human body should come from the same source."
The silver-black glossy whistle does not have the weight of ordinary iron.
Bai Xiaofeng's eyelids shrank, "Youshan Mingtie?!"
"What is Youshan Mingtie?" Tianbao and Bai Yu said in unison, both curious.
"This is my guess. Regarding Youshan Ming Iron, I have seen relevant records in an ancient book a long time ago, but there are only a few words. This kind of iron is silver-black, light in weight, extremely hard, and is burned into the flesh. It can be integrated into one body. If made into armor, it will be invulnerable. But this kind of iron is very rare and hard to find. So far, this is the first time I have seen it with my own eyes." Bai Xiaofeng did not finish his words.
In fact, he had another guess in his mind, but it was too unbelievable and needed to be verified.
Bai Yu's eyes were filled with interest, "It seems there are a lot of secrets behind the Nine Kingdoms. Such rare iron is used to make whistles and skins for dummies... Guess how many 'immortals' there are in this world?"
Tianbao scratched his face, walked up to the undead man who was not tired from beating him, squatted down, pressed his neck with one hand and clasped his head with the other, and pulled him out.
"!!!" Bai Yu flew to hug her hand, "Tianbao, what are you doing?"
"I took him apart to see what he was."
Bai Xiaofeng, Bai Yu, "..." If you take it apart, can you put it back together? Do you want to get such a good research subject?
The undead man's thrusting movements paused almost imperceptibly, and there was a moment of confusion in his eyes.
Bai Xiaofeng stood up, took action himself, picked up a bastard in one hand, and threw them out the door, "I'll check, you go."
If you stay a moment longer, he will be so angry that he won't be able to sleep well at night.
Bai Yu won't say anything. There is no harm in pretending to be a wolf.
But Tianbao is different, she is reckless!
He is probably the only one who can't think of anything in this world, and there is nothing she wouldn't dare to do!
The two people outside the door looked at each other.
Bai Yu shook his jade fan and said seriously, "Tianbao, don't be so cute next time."
Tianbao expressionlessly clenched his fists, his joints cracking.
Seeing this, Bai Yu put away his fan, turned around and walked to the living room, "I'm going to fight with my godfather and snatch the undead for you to destroy."
As soon as he raised his feet, there was a sound of heavy objects slamming on the door, and the man roared and approached, "If you dare to come in, I'll tear you down first!"
"..." Tianbao grabbed the boy's collar and ran away.
…
The rice beside the Qinghe River has turned yellow.
Under the setting sun, facing the wind, layers of rice waves swayed, welcoming the little girl home.
Passing through the miasma forest and crossing the reed swamps, Tianbao slowed down and breathed in the scent of rice mixed with light steam in the air, and a slight smile appeared on his small face unconsciously.
Two figures, one large and one small, were squatting at the entrance of the village. The big heads were arguing with the small heads, arguing about something.
Seeing the girl appearing on the road, the two immediately stood up and rushed over.
"Tianbao, tell this little brat not to follow grandpa all the time! She keeps talking like she's setting off firecrackers. She's so annoying!"
"Sister Tianbao, tell this old man! Tell him not to follow me all day long. He will go wherever I go. He is still a follower at this age!"
"Who are you following? I'm here to pick up Tian Bao. If you have the guts, go play somewhere else!"
"I'm also here to pick up my sister, I came first!"
"Yes? Yes? The old man didn't see you when he came!"
"Your eyes are so long that you don't look down at the ground!"
"Oh, then you can go up to the sky. If you run up, the old man can see you."
Seeing the two of them pinching each other so obliviously, Tianbao blinked and said, "Grandpa Du, my godfather said that the Uroxiang you made is a defective product that won't fail even when fed to dogs, so don't embarrass yourself in front of him." .”
Du Buguo's expression changed, he yelled and rushed home, "How dare you insult grandpa's poison skills! Wait, I'm going to get some good stuff to add to him!"
Tianbao looked at the little girl who was gloating again, "Wheat Sui, my third brother said you are good at kung fu and can beat you with one finger."
Wheat Sui's smile faded and she ran angrily to the village, "I'll beat him with one finger right now!"
Watching the young man leave, Tianbao rubbed his ears and finally felt clean.
There is an uninvited guest at home.
The bearded man was sitting at the door of the hall, with a majestic posture and a majestic golden sword. His whole body was full of black energy, and his already sinister long eyes looked even more vicious.
He sat there, with no one approaching within a foot radius except Suan Suwen.
The rest of the family all crowded into the kitchen, where the sounds of talking, laughing and cooking were intermingled.
Under the sky full of clouds, ignoring some disharmony, the small courtyard is full of fireworks.
Tianbao sighed, walked over, and patted the man on the shoulder, "Uncle Bearded, I'm sorry, if the old ones don't go, the new ones won't come."
Suan Suwen, "Poof!"
The bearded man squinted, "..."
He was stunned and his depression was relieved.
