In the early morning of the next day, the sun was shining softly on the huge crown of the century-old locust tree at the entrance of the village.
Under the still dark trees, a few 7 or 8-year-old children stood sparsely, carrying large or small coarse cloth bundles behind their thin bodies, waiting quietly.
Yu Wan was currently stepping on a stool in the yard, grabbing the edge of the tank with both hands, leaning her head into the tank, staring at the reflection on the water...
In yesterday's dream, she would only glance at the girl when she shined on the water.
So as soon as she got up this morning, she hurriedly looked for something similar to a mirror, wanting to take a closer look at her current appearance...
Finally found this big water tank...
The light was still relatively dim at this time, but Yu Wan could still see clearly that the girl with silver curly hair on the water had her eyes wide open, and her eyes were rolling around, and she was also observing Yu Wan on the water...
Well, the silver-white curly hair, even if it is tied up by two hairpins on the top of the head, is still bending into circles one after another with all its strength...
The eyebrows are also silver-white, the pupils are as black as ever, the nose... the bridge of the nose is higher than the one before time travel, and looks very straight... the skin also looks much whiter than before...
After confirming them one by one, Yu Wan found that except for her eyebrows and hair, which were different from her before time travel, she was still quite similar to her childhood self, more than 90% of them.
However, this hair... She fiddled with her hands and loosened the hair...
Looking into the tank again, the girl in the water also had curly hair hanging loose. It seemed that she had loosened her hair and then curled it up. It was so bouncy that she looked like a mixed-race doll...
Alice must be envious after seeing it...
Yu Wan and the girl in the water looked at each other, their thoughts flying to the sky. Although Alice was born with curly hair, her curls had no elasticity at all. Every time they met, she would complain to herself...
Alas... Is it alien...?
She and the girl on the water sighed at the same time. The world seemed to be very unfriendly to mixed races...
"Wanwan~"
Yu Wan came to her senses and looked up at the courtyard door. The upper half of the courtyard door was made of hollow railings. Through the gap, she saw Mo Mei standing outside waving to her.
She jumped down the steps, ran to the door, and opened the door for Mo Mei.
"Good morning Aunt Mo~"
"Wanwan got up quite early today. Come on, let's go in and Aunt Mo will comb your hair."
Mo Mei looked at Yu Wan, who had silver curly hair and bright eyes. She lifted the slightly slipped baggage on her shoulder with her right hand, and pulled Yu Wan with her left hand into the house.
He put the bundle on the table, picked up the comb beside the bed, and took Yu Wan outside the hospital.
The two sat on the stools one behind the other. Mo Mei was combing Yu Wan's hair behind her and giving her instructions.
"Wanwan, we are leaving for Donglin Town at the beginning of today. We must listen to your Uncle Yu and follow you closely on the way... When we get to Donglin Town, we will behave well... Aunt Mo believes that Wanwan will definitely become a Immortal Master’s Disciple’s…Well, today is another beautiful night…”
After combing her hair, Mo Mei went into the room and put down her comb, took out the package she had just brought, sat down and continued to give instructions.
Yu Wan also turned around, took the package, and continued to listen to Mo Mei.
"Wanwan, Donglin Town is the closest and largest town to our Yujia Village, but this nearest town is also very far away for us..."
"Your Uncle Yu also went to deliver it 10 years ago. He said that if the weather is good, it will take more than half a month... So Aunt Mo prepared some dry food and two sets of clothes for Wanwan, so Wanwan can change. At that time, we will pay a clean visit to the Immortal Master... By the way, there is also a water bag in it. If you finish drinking it, go directly to your Uncle Yu and ask him to go to the stream or river to fill it up for you..."
"This is my first time going out so far. If I feel uncomfortable on the road, I must come to your Uncle Yu. Don't be afraid of trouble...if..."
Mo Mei paused for a moment, thought about it, and finally said it, "If by any chance you are not chosen by the Immortal Master, don't worry about it. Just follow your Uncle Yu and come back safely. Aunt Mo is here... Aunt Mo Tell the village chief that no one will bully Wanwan anymore..."
Mo Mei continued talking for a while, then looked up and saw that it was already getting late, so he took the package in Tai Wan's hand and led her towards the entrance of the village.
Yu Wan had nothing else to take with her and left home directly with Mo Mei.
------
At the entrance of the village, the sun gradually rose, and the flat loess ground was already as dazzling as gold bricks. There were more children and adults under the trees, chirping and exhorting their children. It was very lively.
Mo Mei led Yu Wan out of a path, looked around, and found an empty spot to stand.
The sun was still shining on the crowd waiting under the tree. When Yu Wan joined them, the crowd immediately looked like black coal, and her whole body was illuminated like a god...
"Why is this child here..."
"Alien..."
"...Monster...it's all in vain. The Immortal Master won't accept a monster like you..."
The voices chattering and talking around Yu Wan immediately changed direction after Yu Wan arrived and began to discuss her in a low voice...
Listening to the confusion of the adults around me and the disgust of the children...
Yu Wan pouted and shrugged, saying that they were all playing house and would not cause any harm to themselves...
"Hmph, alien, why are you here?"
A boy standing next to them frowned and shouted at Yu Wan. He moved slightly to the other side, as if he disliked Yu Wan who was standing over.
Yu Wan turned around and looked over. The person speaking was a boy of about 8 years old. He was wearing a waistcoat and shirtless. The waistcoat and trousers were made of gray-black coarse cloth. There was a gray-black package on his thin back.
If the boy's right hand is not always in front of his shoulder, he will probably ignore the package that is the same color as the clothes...
After thinking about it for a moment, Yu Wan remembered that he was actually a child living in the house next door to the original person. In his dream, his mother would help the original person from time to time...
It's just that this boy... doesn't seem to like the original person. Although he hasn't bullied him like those people, he hasn't helped either...
When Mo Mei stood up, she heard the boy's dissatisfaction and asked him directly, "Tiedan, where is your mother? Didn't she come out to see you off?"
In an instant, Tiedan's face became a little aggrieved and he pouted, but thinking about Yu Wan beside him, he immediately became arrogant and straightened his body, "My mother said that I have grown up and am a man." , you don’t need her to give it away..."
"Has your mother gone into the mountains again?" Although she was asking him, Mo Mei's tone was very certain.
"I took Wanwan out just now and met your mother. She was walking in the direction of the mountain. Before leaving, she asked me to tell you that she didn't care what you did or didn't do at home in the past. Now when you go out, you should still take care of your fellow villagers. Little friend...and she asked you to always remember that your surname is Yu and that you are from Yujiacun...keep this in your heart..."
When Tiedan heard that her mother was going to the mountains again, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious. She frowned and said to Mo Mei, "Aunt Mei, please advise my mother and tell her that Tiedan will definitely become the immortal's apprentice. If she finds her father, please let her She shouldn’t go to the mountains for the time being..."
Tiedan stood there hesitating and wanted to walk back, but when he thought of the promise he made to his mother before leaving, his steps seemed to have taken root on the ground, nailing him to the spot...
At this time, there was a sound of gongs on the main road in the village, and a tall carriage slowly drove out from the main road in the village. A middle-aged man with a beard was sitting in front of the carriage, controlling two horses side by side to move forward. With.
Mo Mei knelt down and warned Yu Wan a few times, then stretched out her hand to pull Tie Dan aside, touched his head and said, "It may take a long time for you to come back from this trip. Tie Dan, take good care of your sister Yu Wan, don't If she wants others to bully her..."
Seeing Tiedan's pouting look of disdain, she paused and continued, "Your mother is a sister of my own race. I will take good care of her and prevent her from doing stupid things... But if one day in the future you build a When Ji comes back and your mother asks about your situation outside, do you dare to tell the truth with a clear conscience..."
When Tiedan heard the next few words, he regained his composure. He knew his mother's temper and no longer refuted it at this time.
Seeing the urging, Mo Mei took the time to say to the two of them, "You two must support each other outside. Wanwan, you also remember that no matter what happens outside, your surname will always be Yu, and you are from our Yujia Village. I am your Aunt Mo’s good girl, you must not forget it, you know...Okay, get in the car..."
Yu Wan nodded in agreement to Mo Mei, then took a step forward and hugged Mo Mei's neck. Although she had only been in this world for less than a day, but with the interaction with Mo Mei in her dream, she could feel that Mo Mei, as an elder, valued her. Love, this kind of love, she had never experienced before.
"Don't worry, Aunt Mo, I will always keep it in my heart."
After saying that, she kissed Mo Mei on the cheek and ran straight to the carriage. At this time, Tiedan was already standing in the rear compartment, seemingly waiting for her.
Tiedan watched the two people hugging each other. Although he regretted that he had forgotten to hug his mother, he still walked towards the carriage with a proud look on his face...
Seeing Yu Wan coming, he snorted disdainfully and got on the carriage. Then he turned around, stretched out his right hand, and said to Yu Wan who was coming over, "Come up quickly, little dwarf..."
Yu Wan didn't argue with him. After all, in terms of actual age, she was still old enough to be his mother... She directly took Tie Dan's extended hand, got into the car, and followed Tie Dan to sit on the side of the car near the window. .
After getting up early in the morning, before Yu Wan had eaten, she sat down and opened the package. Seeing that there were portions of food wrapped in oil paper, she took out one package, put the package away, and tore open the package she took out. Grease paper and start eating.
The moment the oil paper was torn open, an unknown aroma emerged directly and penetrated her nostrils.
It smells so good! She continued to tear it, and after a while, she looked at the golden, round and spindle-shaped dough pancake in her hand, which was almost as big as her face. She squeezed it hard with her little hands, and the pancake deformed, and then it returned to its original appearance when released.
She opened her mouth and took a big bite. The part where the front teeth touched was crispy, and the part where the lower teeth touched was soft. Yu Wan chewed it carefully and observed the bottom of the dough.
Turning over with your little hand, you will see the fried brown flat bottom, and you can smell a faint burnt aroma at the tip of your nose. This burnt aroma is not obtrusive, but adds a touch of flavor to the whole sweet noodle pancake.
Yu Wan happily chewed one bite after another, and Tiedan also smelled it, and secretly touched her belly with her right hand...
Although he had eaten the white flour meat buns made by his mother in the morning, it had been a long time and it seemed that his stomach was empty...
When he was hesitating whether to order another big meat bun, the carriage started to move. Next to him, Yu Wan held a half-eaten pancake in his right hand, turned around nimbly, leaned out of the window and shouted to Mo Mei.
"Goodbye Aunt Mo, I'll wait for you to come back from Wan Wan Ji Zhu..."
Mo Mei looked outside at Yu Wan, who had crumbs of bread on the corner of his mouth and kept waving to her with his left arm. He also raised his right arm and waved, telling her again to pay attention to safety outside and that she was waiting for her in Yujiacun.
Carrying a large number of but not heavy children, the two-horsepower car left the village in less than a moment and ran towards the distance...
Mo Mei kept watching until the shadow of the carriage was no longer visible. She touched the cheek Yu Wan kissed with a smile and whispered to herself, "Finally...leave here...I hope these two children don't look like..."
Her voice suddenly stopped, she shook her head, and turned back.
Yu Wan waited until he could no longer see the entrance to the village, then got into the carriage and continued to pick up the noodles and gnaw...
The corn pancakes made by Uncle Yu are so delicious...
Seeing Yu Wan starting to eat again, Tiedan felt that his stomach was really empty, but thinking that his mother had not left many meat buns for him, he could only keep hypnotizing in his mind, saying that he was not hungry, he was not hungry, he was Not a greedy little cat like Yu Wan...
Swallowing his saliva, Tiedan snorted with an arrogant look on his face and said, "It's just jade rice cakes. As for eating them, are you so happy...different...than a greedy cat..."
When Yu Wan heard Tiedan's disdain, she didn't even look at him, pretending that she didn't know he was secretly groping his stomach and swallowing his saliva...
She continued to nibble happily... her face was filled with an expression of happiness she had never seen before...
The carriage continued to move forward, with Yu Shanshui and Yu Jinniu resting alternately. When they arrived on the road two days later, there were more carriages around, and they all rushed towards Donglin Town outside the mountains.
------
Another place.
"Uncle Master, are we going to Donglin Town again this year? Last time I heard that we didn't meet anyone with spiritual roots...this time..."
"Since I accepted the sect's mission, I have to go... It's not too far away. I heard that Donglin Town is the junction of our Mugu Territory and the Three Saints Territory. The climate is very different from our inland area. It's good to go and see it. good……"
------
"Senior brother, I heard that there are a group of good aliens coming to the building over in Donglin Town. One of them seems to have golden eyes... Let's see how we recruit disciples this year. If they are really good, maybe..."
"It's okay to go and have a look. Remember to change your clothes then and don't reveal your sect's identity..."
