It felt like a world away, and Ximen Lone Star finally gave up the urge to pinch the face of the guy in front of him.
In front of him was the most familiar and unforgettable scene, as if it would be played out in front of him in a few years, and his self-esteem would be severely trampled under his feet.
He originally wanted to have a fight with the young man in front of him to get some benefits.
Suddenly he heard about the opportunity to make a fortune, so after being exploited by Huangfu Qingmei for many years, he finally couldn't help but slap his thigh excitedly.
He shouted: "Listen, listen, if you really want to get rich, I will let you go."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head, looked at him and said seriously: "I'm afraid you can't do it alone. It's best that you go back and tell the Lord of the City, and then..."
Having said this, Li Xiuyuan touched Xiao Hei on his shoulder and smiled: "Let Xiao Hei accompany you."
Xiao Hei glared at Ximen Lone Star with disgust and shouted: "Boy, who are you?"
Ximen Lone Star laughed when he heard this, took the umbrella from Li Xiuyuan's hand, and walked out of the store.
He smiled and said: "I am your uncle, come and make a fortune with me."
Xiaoyu looked back at Li Xiuyuan and reluctantly flew to Ximen Lone Star's shoulder.
"I made a deal with you, give me some benefits, or I'll set you on fire."
"Oh, you're so verbose, hurry up."
The two of them got into the rain while making a noise, and soon they attracted a passing carriage.
Li Xiuyuan sat silently at the counter, gently closed his eyes, and reviewed the previous scene.
Li Qiu Shui picked up the whining kettle and poured him a cup of tea. Looking at his pale cheek, he frowned and asked, "Were you ambushed on the road?"
"Fortunately, Xiao Hei is with me."
Li Xiuyuan sighed and did not hide it from her. He murmured: "What I don't understand is how long ago I came back. Why did these killers find me?"
Li Qiushui frowned slightly, stiffened slightly, and asked, "You have murderous intent!"
From the moment Li Xiuyuan put down the umbrella in his hand and walked into the wine shop, Li Xiuyuan smelled a faint smell of blood.
Unlike Xiaohong and Ximen Guxing, who were carefree and didn't feel anything.
"Xiao Hei and I were ambushed by a dozen killers on the road... I let one of them escape and let Xiao Hei follow."
Having said this, Li Xiuyuan casually took out three space rings and threw them on the table. He looked at her and said quietly: "It just so happens that the winery needs spiritual stones for decoration. They gave me the money."
Li Qiu Shui chuckled and replied gently: "Xiaohong has earned a lot of spiritual stones over the years, how can I ask you to spend any more money?"
"I'll keep the money from the wine shop for you two. I'm not short of money." Li Xiuyuan thought for a while, and after he left, he had to leave some more spirit stones for Xiao Hong.
After all, this is half of my home, so why would Li Qiu Shui and Xiao Hong pay for it?
Li Qiuyu also knew that he couldn't be persuaded, so he could only chuckle and said: "You killed a dozen killers with just a wave of your hand?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head, looked at her and said distressedly: "I don't want to get their blood on my hands! I'll have a good talk with you about this after dinner."
Li Qiu Shui was stunned and speechless for a while. After a while, he murmured: "You are really pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. You dare to lie to me even the eldest sister. This is so outrageous."
Li Xiuyuan took a sip of the tea in front of him, looked at the autumn rain gradually stopping outside the door, and said to himself: "I didn't lie to you this time, I am indeed just a mortal."
The journey of thousands of miles to the Styx River washed away the dragon power from him and Xiao Hei, along with the weak fairy spirit energy and the power of time in their bodies.
If the old Taoist priest hadn't imprisoned him with his cultivation before, he might really have turned into a guy without any cultivation at the moment.
Even the fairy spirit that Xiao Hei had cultivated before was washed away, leaving only the inheritance of his three-legged Golden Crow.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "If my brother Xiaohei hadn't been here, I would have been in some trouble today."
At this moment, he finally understood that the old Taoist priest could take away Zhu Yan, but he could only keep Xiao Hei and let him stay with him.
It turns out that you are afraid of encountering unstoppable ups and downs on your road?
Li Qiushui took a sip of tea, looked at him and said softly: "Will there be any trouble?"
Li Xiuyuan said: "Now that Ximen Lone Star is here, the original trouble is no longer trouble... Whether there are killers or bandits in the city, they are matters that the government should deal with."
When Xiaohong finished cooking, the rain in the sky had stopped.
Li Xiuyuan thought that he would start decorating next, so he told her: "Let a guy come over tomorrow to help and move all the things in this store to the grocery room in the backyard."
Xiao Hong raised her head, looked at him and Li Qiu Shui and asked, "Sister, do you want to bring out some spirit stones?"
Li Qiuyu shook his head and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about the spiritual stones. You just need to take care of the items and wine tanks in this store."
Xiaohong waved her hand and walked happily outside the store.
The shopkeeper didn't return for a long time, so she could finally relax for a few days and have a good rest.
…
Xiao Hong returned to Li Qiu Shui's shop, and only Li Qiu Shui and Li Xiu Yuan were left in the wine shop.
Li Xiuyuan simply closed the shop and went back to the backyard to stir-fry vegetables.
Xiaohong bought green vegetables, and he fried two plates, made a soup with bamboo shoots and mushrooms, and reheated the soy sauce beef he bought.
It was almost midnight and Xiao Hei hadn't come back yet. Li Xiuyuan left some food for him, and he and Li Qiushui lit a lamp under the eaves.
Li Qiu Shui looked at him silently and asked quietly: "Do you want to wait for Xiao Hei and Ximen Lone Star?"
In her opinion, Li Xiuyuan was very important to the talking crow, and she didn't want to starve this little guy.
What's more, there is this guy Ximen Lone Star today.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head, poured two glasses of black bean wine, took a sip, and then laughed with satisfaction.
"It's been a long time since I drank this black bean wine. Xiaohong's skills are getting better and better."
Yuan Yuan looked at Li Qiu Shui and said with a smile: "No matter what the two of them are, with the Lord of the City personally taking action, plus Huangfu Qingmei, what troubles are there that can't be solved?"
Guarding an oil lamp, the conversation between the two could be heard from time to time under the eaves.
Thinking that there was not much time left, Li Geyuan rarely chatted with Li Qiushui during dinner.
"You are coming back soon, so why should I spend a lot of money to buy elixir from Youfu City?"
"You can sell the elixir you bought. I believe the monks in Ding'an City need it very much. Isn't this a good thing that benefits yourself and others?"
"Will I ascend after taking your elixir and drinking your spiritual wine?"
"So? You should not touch the elixirs I gave you first, and first help Xiaohong and his family of three break through in their cultivation."
"Tell me why? I want to know."
After drinking two glasses of wine, Li Xiuyuan stopped filling Li Qiushui's glass and instead gave him a bowl of vegetables.
Then he looked at her and said with a smile: "Because, I think you should also know more about the secrets on the path of spiritual practice, and I happen to know these secrets."
Li Qiushui was stunned and looked at her speechless.
"Eat some food. When you're full, I'll make a pot of spiritual tea and we'll chat slowly."
During the long night, Li Xiuyuan thought he had plenty of time: "It's late, you can sleep in Xiaohong's room. I'll only tell you this once, I'm afraid I won't have the chance in the future."
I thought that I would make swords, renovate the winery, and dig holes on the road outside the winery to bury people.
After what happened today, he believed that the bandits he met outside Wangtian City would definitely come to cause trouble for him.
He wanted to dig holes while renovating the winery.
Coupled with Huangfu Qingmei's family, I believe the days to come will no longer be so quiet. Feeling the seriousness of the matter, Li Qiu Shui didn't say anything to find out for the first time, but honestly drank the bowl in front of him.
It's something related to her own practice, which is more important to her than the business of two stores.
While the two were eating quietly, there was a flapping sound in the sky.
"Quack! Xiao Hei is going to starve to death."
Xiao Hei, who had fluttered down, flew directly onto the table, looked at Li Xiuyuan and started shouting.
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and smiled, stood up and walked to the kitchen.
Li Qiushui asked in confusion: "Xiao Hei? Is the City Lord's Mansion so stingy? It doesn't even treat you to dinner?"
Xiao Hei shook his head and said in disgust: "That guy is too stingy. Xiao Hei doesn't want to go to their house for dinner."
Li Xiuyuan came out with rice and tea and was happy. He looked at him and said with a smile: "What benefit did that guy give you? He can't be so stingy, right?"
After speaking, he placed the bowl in front of Xiao Hei: "These are all yours, eat slowly."
"That guy just gave Xiao Hei a space ring..."
Xiao Hei picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip of the black bean wine, then kept chattering, finally allowing Li Qiu Shui to understand what happened next.
It turned out to be a den of bandits in Ding'an City, and was followed by Xiao Hei flying in the sky. In the end, he was surrounded by hundreds of people in the city lord's palace, and no one escaped.
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while, looked at him and smiled: "There are many of them, so it's good to give you a little."
After speaking, he took out one and put it in front of him, and said calmly: "Eat quickly, go to bed when you are full, I want to have a good chat with my eldest sister."
When Xiao Hei saw it, he quickly put away the space ring on the table and burst into laughter.
"Brother is the best to Xiao Hei, unlike that guy who is stingy." Xiao Hei stopped talking and started eating the meat quietly.
Li Qiushui sighed, gently stroked Xiao Hei's feathers, and asked: "Xiao Hei, when can you change back to your original appearance and show me to my eldest sister?"
When Xiao Hei heard this, he couldn't help but look up at Li Xiuyuan.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said with a faint smile: "The days are long, what are you in a hurry for?"
In his opinion, if it was the old Taoist priest's idea, he would not let Xiao Hei return to his original appearance until he completed his transformation.
Otherwise, how can I quietly complete the practice of becoming a mortal?
Xiao Hei seemed to be used to this appearance. After all, he was flying around and didn't have to walk behind his brother.
Holding the cup and taking another sip of wine, Xiao Hei nodded: "Xiao Hei, don't be in a hurry. Sister, you have to wait slowly."
Looking at him quietly, Li Qiushui suddenly said: "Xiao Hei, have you ever thought about what you will do if God really prevents you from returning to your original appearance?"
After eating a piece of beef with soy sauce, Xiao Hei raised his head to look at Li Xiuyuan and smiled slightly.
Then he said calmly: "If God keeps doing this... as long as he stays with his brother, Xiao Hei will accept his fate."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head, held the dishes in front of himself and Li Qiu Shui, then went to wash the dishes and ignored him.
In his opinion, as long as he meets the old Taoist priest, this matter is not just a matter of conversation?
Xiao Hei is not in a hurry, and he is even less anxious.
Li Qiushui looked at Li Xiuyuan's back and said thoughtfully, "That's right. As long as you follow him, what kind of wishes will you be afraid of not being able to come true?"
Thinking about what the young man said to him, Li Qiu Shui's mood instantly calmed down.
Looking at Xiao Hei who was eating meat with his head down, he expressed his appreciation without hesitation.
He raised his eyebrows, looked at Xiao Hei and said with a smile: "After thinking about it, Xiao Hei is really good!"
Xiao Hei chuckled and said, "That's right, Xiao Hei can help his brother fight bad guys, but now he needs Xiao Hei's protection."
Li Xiuyuan fetched spring water and prepared to make tea. He looked at him and smiled and said, "When you are full, go back to the house and sleep."
