It is said that women undergo a transformation.
Xue Yun never expected that those two petite girls would now grow into tall beauties.
"Thanks to you, Lao Xue..."
A happy smile.
Shi Kelang curled his lips and sighed: "Now, they have grown up and will be twenty in two years. Even if they cannot become night watchmen, with their education and ability, they should be able to find a job." A decent job, at least I can support myself.”
Looking at the two smiling girls, Xue Yun also felt a sense of relief.
To be fair.
If they had been living in slums, it is very likely that they would have been abducted overseas by local human trafficking organizations and become available to everyone as playthings and money-making tools.
The outcome would be better.
At most, he could wait until he was twenty, and after confirming that he had no biological force field talent, he would marry a poor local boy and live a bleak and precarious life from then on.
"So, you don't have to feel guilty."
He tightened the rifle on his shoulder.
Shi Kelang raised his eyebrows and said: "My parents left very peacefully, with no worries. The only thing I can't let go of is your safety..."
Startled slightly.
Xue Yun looked at the corner of the living room, where there was a simple worship shrine.
Inside, there happened to be the portraits of Aunt Liu and Father Shi. Several sticks of fragrance were burning slowly, and wisps of slender smoke were emitting.
There was no hesitation.
Xue Yun walked over, took out three long incense sticks from beside the shrine, lit them and bowed to pay homage to the portraits of the two elders on the spot.
See this.
The black and white dead warrior sisters immediately knelt down behind him again, not daring to raise their heads easily at all.
Everyone was silent for a while, and the entire living room became eerily quiet.
It wasn't until Xue Yun finished the ceremony and inserted the long incense in his hand into the incense burner that everyone let out a sigh of relief.
"Okay, let's eat!"
Smile slightly.
Leng Xintong suggested: "You have been traveling around in the past few years. You must not have had home-cooked food for a long time. Don't say I didn't remind you. The skills of these two girls are no worse than Aunt Liu. Hurry and serve!"
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone's attention immediately focused on the big table in the dining room.
A bottle of cheap white wine, paired with a dozen ordinary to crude side dishes, the most eye-catching one is undoubtedly the large tray of white steamed buns in the middle of the table. Since they have just come out of the oven, they are still steaming.
"Sorry, Brother Xue."
One of Shi Kelang's sisters was full of apologies and said with an embarrassed expression: "In the past six months, supplies in Longdu have been in short supply. I know you like to drink good wine, but I have traveled all over the city and can't find the kind you used to have." "Royal Salute", I can only aggrieve you."
It was surrounded and blocked by various forces, resulting in an extreme shortage of supplies in the city.
Nowadays, for the ordinary people in Longdu, it is very rare for them to have enough to eat.
A table of standard home-cooked meals like this can be called a luxury.
"It's okay, isn't this good!"
He reached out and picked up a big steamed bun.
Xue Yun took a bite and said vaguely: "Well, it smells so good!"
Everyone looked at each other and immediately took their seats.
While changing glasses, all kinds of laughter and laughter instantly echoed in the spacious dining room.
Even if there is no good food and wine to accompany you, as long as everyone can still get together, it is a matter of joy.
During the banquet.
Everyone talked about many interesting things from the past, which made Gu Xiaoyi, who was only eight years old, widen his eyes and listened with interest.
Xue Yun also took the initiative to tell about the bizarre encounters of his group on the northern border.
Especially the fact that the flow of time in the "Beginning and Ending Realm" was completely different from the outside world really shocked everyone.
"This is amazing."
Take a bite of steamed bun.
The young Gu Xiaoyi suddenly said: "Then if Uncle Xue had stayed in that place, wouldn't you be immortal to those of us in the outside world?!"
Hit the nail on the head.
Everyone stopped moving and frowned slightly.
Coincidentally——
After hearing these words, Xue Yun was stunned on the spot, and something in his heart suddenly moved slightly, as if some opportunity had been released, but the reason was somewhat unclear.
One day in the sky, one year underground...
From a certain perspective, Xue Yun, Ivanov, and Tong Mao'er did have eight more years than the people in the outside world.
At the very least, time has not left the slightest trace on their bodies.
Eight years to others was only a few hours to Xue Yun.
Be it time or space.
It seems that everything is relative. Depending on the space you are in, your perception of the passage of time will also change.
Although I don’t know how ancient civilizations created such weird environmental differences.
but--
Isn't this a way of immortality that is like changing the day and night?
"Gu Xiaoyi, you know nothing, shut up!"
I saw everyone was embarrassed for a while.
The cold-hearted child immediately got angry, reached out and grabbed his son's ears, and yelled loudly: "What are you, a child, talking about, adults? You are a rude fellow. If you do it again next time, let me see how I deal with you!"
He begged loudly for mercy with an innocent face.
Gu Xiaoyi, who was only eight years old, suddenly felt like crying without tears. He looked at his father Xiaogu beside him and couldn't help but cast a look for help.
"Well......"
He raised his eyebrows.
Xiaogu simply turned his head away, raised his glass towards Xue Yun, and said regardless, "Come on, let's drink this glass of wine."
Say it.
He raised his head and drank all the strong wine in the glass without thinking about it. He looked like he didn't dare to meddle in other people's business.
See this.
Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter, and then they all burst into laughter.
A small episode passed in such a joyful atmosphere. Only Xue Yun was still worried, but he did not continue to discuss this topic with everyone.
After three rounds of drinking.
Everyone was still not satisfied, but they were all a bit drunk.
"Okay, it's almost time to catch the wind and wash away the dust."
It was Lengxintong who still took the initiative to stand up and suggested: "The killer has just returned home. He must be exhausted. Let's not go too far. I think this is enough. Those who should go home to rest should go home to rest. Those who should go upstairs to nurse the fetus. I’m going upstairs to nurse my baby, so let’s just call it quits tonight.”
Say it.
Lengxintong, who was already a mother, was still quirky and quirky, and immediately winked at Xiaogu.
"Well......"
The usually dull Xiaogu was slightly startled, and he quickly stretched out his thumb and echoed hesitantly: "Yes, it makes sense, let's go... It's time to go, I'm sleepy too..."
He glanced at everyone.
Xue Yun immediately felt that something was wrong. Except for Da Iwan and Tong Maoer, the others were obviously conspiring to do something, and they were definitely targeting him.
"You guys..."
Lift your chin.
Xue Yun's face was slightly tipsy, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Do you want to do something bad while I'm drunk?"
Everyone looked at each other, suppressed evil smiles in unison, and remained silent.
"How can you do that? You are the divine martial body of our Dragon City..."
Leng Xintong tried to smooth things over again and emphasized: "We all together can't beat you. Who dares to do anything against you!"
There was a pause.
Leng Xintong stood up suddenly and urged: "That's it. Everyone, go and do whatever you need to do. Two girls and I will take care of things here. As for Xue Yun, go upstairs and rest quickly..."
A big wave of his hand.
Leng Xintong ordered: "Xiao Gu, take Xue Yun upstairs to his room, you know!"
