Li Xiuyuan in the inn didn't know that he was a guest in his dream, and he was digesting the spiritual energy that was so thick that it couldn't be dissolved.
After a night of thinking, Qing Jiao, who was temporarily staying in an elderly home, finally made the decision to leave with Helian Mingyue to find a future for herself.
When the old man returned home, his mood gradually calmed down.
On this day, Wu Wu, Ximen Mengdie and Huajiao were about to arrive at Wanping Town.
Along the way, the two little guys were listening to Huajiao telling her own story, telling the story of her and her brother Hua Satisfaction.
The siblings had no parents since they were young, so they made a living by renting out their five acres of land to fellow villagers for farming.
Later, Huajiao finally met a master who taught her spiritual practice. Her younger brother enrolled in a private school to learn poetry from his husband. When he grew up, he wanted to go to the imperial city to seek an official position so that his sister would no longer suffer.
It's just that God always disapproves. When Huajiao was eighteen years old, her master failed to withstand the harassment of inner demons and died under the catastrophe.
Without his master, Huajiao, whose spiritual path has been cut off, can only rely on his younger brother, hoping that his younger brother will grow up day by day.
Unexpectedly, although Hua Yiyi was smart, his official career was not smooth, and he failed in several exams.
In the end, Huajiao had no choice but to teach his younger brother martial arts and embarked on the path of spiritual practice.
So, the brother and sister continued to practice based on the scroll of spiritual teachings left by Master Huajiao. Hua Yiyi was already fifteen years old at this time.
As Huajiao said, practicing medicine in Furong Town is not an easy task, because it is difficult to find elixirs in the mountains for hundreds of miles.
If it weren't for some elixirs that Master Huajiao left behind in the early years, it would be difficult for Hua Yiyi to even break through the realm and build a foundation.
When his parents were still alive, they arranged a marriage for Hua Yiyi, a girl from Wen'an in Wanping Town named Wen Ziwei, who was one year younger than Hua Yiyi.
Over the years, Huajiao has taken his younger brother to the flower house in Wanping several times. Wen Ziwei’s father likes flowers very much, and the two of them can be considered childhood sweethearts...
Everything is waiting for Hua to come to propose marriage when she is satisfied that she is an adult.
It's just that God always makes things difficult, as if he is deliberately trying to embarrass the siblings.
Just last year, Wen Ziwei's father contracted a serious illness and passed away on his way home from the imperial city...
One day, Mrs. Chen, whose husband died, began to dislike the Hua family for being poor, and Hua Yiyi was not worthy of her daughter.
He wrote a letter to marry Wen Ziwei to the son of the Meng family in the imperial city, Meng Wuhen... a disciple of an aristocratic family, a man with astonishing cultivation.
The same size as Hua Jiao, three years older than Hua Yiyi.
But this year, Hua Yiyi's cultivation was only at the seventh level of foundation building. In Meng Wuhen's eyes, he was just an ant.
In the eyes of Wen Ziwei's mother, Mrs. Chen, she has no money, no fame, and even lower cultivation than Meng Wuhen. Why should her daughter marry such a man?
Originally, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival was the date set by Wen Ziwei's father for the two of them to get married, but due to a sudden change, Chen refused to admit it and postponed it until now.
In desperation, Huajiao had no choice but to go into the forest where Li Xiuyuan and others had stepped, hoping to find a century-old elixir.
Sell it for a good price and spend more money... to complete the marriage for your brother.
Unexpectedly, the elixir was not found. When she returned home, she learned from her neighbor that her brother had gone to Wanping Town.
When Ximen Mengdie heard this, she clenched her fists and shouted, "Junior brother and I will help senior sister come forward in this matter and get that Miss Wen family back for you!"
The crow chuckled and said, "Look at the crow uncle slapping those ants to death..."
Huajiao looked at the two little guys and sighed quietly, and said with a wry smile: "In the past two days, I have figured it out, let's forget about this marriage."
In her opinion, as long as her brother and sister stayed together in Furong Town, cultivating a few acres of land and cultivating at the same time, the younger brother would probably find another marriage.
Why bother fighting with a woman?
Amidst the cries of Crow and Xiaodieer, and the anxiety of Huajiao, the carriage drove slowly into Wanping Town.
Ximen Mengdie looked at Huajiao’s frowning expression and said,
After thinking for a while, he said, "Sister Huajiao, let's go find your brother first, and then go eat."
Crow also nodded and said, "Senior sister is right, go do your business first, and you'll be fine for an hour after dinner."
At this moment, it is the current moment.
It is the beginning of winter, so it is forbidden to travel, offer sacrifices, or bury.
Although there is no snow in the sky yet, the cold wind is howling, and the world is filled with a sense of solemnity.
The carriage slowly rolled forward on the bluestone slab. The Wen family was on the west side of the town, in a small courtyard that was not very conspicuous. It was still far away from the carriage.
The crow frowned slightly. Being sensitive to killing, it smelled a faint smell of blood in the wind.
Ximen Mengdie looked at the crow's appearance and also frowned. Her intuition was more sensitive than the crow's. You must know that she carries the essence and blood of the dragon.
Her divine consciousness is even more powerful and terrifying, and the entire Wanping Town is shrouded in her divine consciousness.
After smelling blood in her nose, Xiao Die'er immediately shouted: "Junior brother, go and have a look."
The crow nodded, without saying much, and with a sound of "Whoosh!", it flew out of the carriage and shot straight into the sky like a bolt of lightning.
Huajiao was so shocked that she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Ximen Mengdie shook his head and replied softly: "Master said that when you go out, you must always be vigilant to guard against being plotted by others."
Huajiao sighed, wondering what kind of person that young man was, who could lead these two clever little guys to protect him?
Of course, this was just her idea. If Li Xiuyuan heard it, she would definitely laugh or cry.
In his opinion, if he is more comfortable without Crow and Ximen Mengdie, and one person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry, why should he worry about the two little guys?
Just like that, as the carriage walked and walked, little snowflakes suddenly began to float in the sky.
The driver was stunned and blurted out: "Miss, is it snowing?"
"Is it snowing?"
Huajiao opened the curtain, looked at the hazy sky, sighed and said, "This year's snow seems to have come a few days early."
Ximen Mengdie was shocked when she heard this, because her godfather was blinded by crying on a snowy day, although now she changed her tune and called Li Xiuyuan master.
He stretched out his little hand, caught a snowflake from the car window, and murmured to himself: "It's a pity that the master fell asleep and couldn't see the first snow."
Before the crow could come back, the carriage suddenly stopped.
"Miss, something seems to have happened up front. Why don't you get out of the car and take a look?"
The coachman pulled the reins, causing the horse to stop instantly against the roadside, and turned to greet Huajiao.
Xiao Mengdie was startled, immediately got out of the car and shouted to the sky: "Junior brother, where are you?"
"coming!"
"Whoosh!" With a sound, the crow floated from the wind and snow, landed on her shoulder, and whispered softly in her ear.
Huajiao nodded: "I'll go take a look." After saying that, he opened the curtain, held the corner of his skirt and got out of the carriage, looking not far ahead.
Not far ahead was the Wen family's yard. The trees outside the gate were hung with red lanterns, and two big red words "happy" were posted on the door.
At this moment, I couldn't help but secretly shout: "No!" and ran forward...
Before she could reach the tree in front of Wenjia Liu, she felt something stepped on her feet. She was so startled that she had to fly up, then turned to look at the ground...
After just one glance, he exclaimed: "Brother..."
Crow patted Ximen Mengdie and said, "No, something really happened..."
Ximen Mengdie let out a frightened "Whoosh!" and was twice as fast as Huajiao. He held Huajiao with one hand, and the crow rushed forward.
In the blink of an eye, the crow used its wings to lift up a piece of white cloth on the ground...
If you didn't look carefully, you would have thought that the snowflakes that had just fallen here were accumulated together...
I saw the crow lifting up the white cloth, revealing a young man in a green shirt. The man looked a bit like Huajiao.
But he frowned tightly, opened his eyes angrily, and looked at the crow...
There was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, and the clothes on his chest were stained with blood!
When Huajiao saw it, she immediately threw away Xiao Mengdie's hand, fell on the man, and reached out to touch his lips.
Then he let out a heartbreaking cry: "My poor brother! Who is so cruel to kill my brother! Xiaodie'er, Brother Crow, you have to avenge me!"
Crow looked at the couplets in front of the Wen family, looked at the lanterns on the trees, and shook his head gently.
Asked Xiao Die'er: "Senior sister, what does the lantern hanging on the tree mean?"
Xiao Die'er bit her lip and replied: "That means the girl from the Wen family just got married, there was a happy event here, and there was also a murder..."
Even though Ximen Mengdie had never been married or engaged before, she had seen many people holding weddings in Ding'an City.
Even she didn't expect that Hua Yiyi, who came before her and others, would die in front of the Wen family's yard.
Thinking of this, the furious Ximen Mengdie did not pull the peppercorns, but ran forward, ran to the closed door of Wen's house, waved his hand and punched...
With a sound of "Boom!", the two gates instantly turned into fragments that filled the sky.
Xiao Die'er stood in front of the door and roared angrily: "Get out of here, who is it that killed my sister Hua's brother?"
"Xiaodie'er, my brother is dead! Woohoo..."
Huajiao let out an exclamation and immediately lay on Hua Chengyi's body. He couldn't catch a breath and fainted.
Xiao Die'er was so angry that she had to come back to greet Huajiao, but she yelled at the crow: "Junior brother, go to the yard and ask. If there is no one, we will burn the place down."
Ximen Mengdie is so angry that I don't care why I want to talk to you first.
The crow called "quack!" twice and rushed into the yard, shouting: "Is there anyone alive? Come out quickly, otherwise the uncle will set fire to it!"
"Ah...where did this crow come from..."
"No, where did this monster come from..."
"Oh my god, how could you break the door and break in..."
Then there was a sound of howling ghosts and wolves, crows scolding, and the sounds of men and women crying in the yard.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, before Ximen Mengdie could wake up Huajiao, the crow flew out of the yard.
Then the doors were slammed all the way along the street, followed by exclamations and shouts from all over the street, and one or two shrill screams came from time to time.
Apparently the crow met someone who was unwilling to cooperate and became violent.
After a while, the crow flew back with a disgraceful face, lay down in Ximen Mengdie's ear and whispered softly.
Finally, he whispered to her: "We can't rush this matter. Let's go back to Furong Town first and wait until Li Xiuyuan wakes up."
Xiaodie'er looked at the unconscious Huajiao in her arms, and then at the dead-eyed Hua with satisfaction, and had no choice but to nod heavily.
After muttering a few words to the crow, the crow flapped its wings and flew towards the carriage.
He lay down in front of the coachman and said, "We are going to take that guy back to Furong Town... Either I will give you more money, or I will buy the carriage. You can choose one."
The coachman was startled. He and Huajiao were neighbors. How could he not dare to disobey when he saw the young master of the Hua family die here?
Immediately he replied: "Master, you have it up to me. Give me some more money. We will go to the intersection to buy some food later. We will go back today."
Crow nodded: "Don't worry, money is not an issue. I will reward you when my young master wakes up."
When the coachman heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "Can you save him?"
Crow shook his head and replied: "My young master is dreaming in Furong Town right now. I have to go home and let him make the decision on this matter."
The coachman nodded and without saying a word, he walked all the way to Hua Jiao. He first wrapped the flowers satisfactorily and carried them onto the carriage.
Then he helped Xiaodieer and Huajiao to get on the carriage.
Crow and Xiaodieer shouted:
"Sister, get in the car, let's go back."
Xiao Die'er frowned and got on the carriage, and said to the coachman: "I will thank you when I get back."
Just as the coachman raised his whip and urged the horse to slowly set off and walked forward for more than ten feet, the aggrieved little Ling'er stretched out his head, waved his hand, and slashed at the Wen family with a sword...
So, the driver, who was driving the carriage and was lamenting in his heart, suddenly heard a sound of "rumbling!" in his ears.
But before Xiao Die'er got angry, she destroyed the Hua family's courtyard wall with a wave of her hand.
