PFC Chapter 314: Come and Go
Chapter 314: Come and Go
Because the wind and snow were getting stronger and stronger, the front yard vegetable patch that Li Changxiao and the cook had worked so hard to take care of had been completely abandoned, and the chickens and ducks they raised were shivering in their roosts.
This kind of situation happens almost every year, and Li Changxiao already has a very mature system for dealing with it. He took out a large net, covered the vegetable field, and then caught all the chickens and ducks into the inn. He used bamboo strips to weave a chicken coop next to the fireplace and locked them all in.
Then, he asked Mei Sanniang and the cook another question: if ducks are regarded as rabbits, how can we tell how many rabbits and chickens there are in the cage by only looking at their feet?
The cook's answer was simple: split the cage open and count the birds one by one.
Mei Sanniang slapped him and scolded him for being a fool who only knew how to use brute force.
Then she raised her chin and said proudly, I can use my spiritual sense to scan them and even count how many hairs they have.
Li Changxiao was speechless for a while and didn't dwell too much on this issue.
The wind and snow are getting stronger outside. The weather in this area is always like this.
The wind and snow were blowing fiercely, but there had never been an avalanche. I think it had something to do with the feng shui and terrain of the place.
Today though.
When the wind and snow were blowing.
Someone finally pushed open the door of the inn.
The person who came was a thin man with a handsome face and an anxious expression. After entering the inn, he looked around and his eyes quickly focused on Li Changxiao.
"Brother Changxiao?" he said in disbelief.
It was not until he took off his hood that Li Changxiao saw clearly the person coming. It was the genius he had met before: Qingxiao.
Once on the way north, Qingxiao encountered members of the Ji E Sect. He subdued them with thunder magic, but the noise was so loud that it attracted Li Changxiao's attention. The two met and got to know each other.
"Brother Qingxiao, long time no see." Li Changxiao said.
"Qing boy, I haven't seen you for a long time." Mei Sanniang said with a smile: "What's wrong with you? The Ten Thousand Immortals Summit is almost over, and you are here just now."
Qingxiao hastily apologized and told Mei Sanniang that he was blinded by the wind and snow and lost his way.
Qingxiao shook off the snow on his body and sat down with Li Changxiao to drink, chatting about some things related to the reform.
Li Changxiao had a smile on his face, and most of the time, he was listening quietly. He looked at Qingxiao's face. So many years had passed, but the other party seemed to have never aged, and that sense of righteousness was still stored in his chest.
It's a good thing.
Qingxiao was passionate, his eyes became brighter and brighter. At the end, he slapped the stool, stood up suddenly, shouted his slogan, and expressed his ideas.
That voice.
This immediately attracted the attention of Mei Sanniang and the cook.
There was a pause for a few seconds.
The three people in the inn suddenly laughed out loud at the same time.
Mei Sanniang waved her hand and decided to give this young man who was full of enthusiasm and passion a 50% discount.
"Brother Qingxiao, you are still young." Li Changxiao said.
"What? Was I wrong?" Qingxiao blinked and looked around in confusion.
"That's right." The cook explained, "What Lao Li meant was that after hundreds of years, when we met again, your mentality was still so young and full of vitality. He was happy for you."
Mei Sanniang covered her mouth and chuckled.
Immediately, she looked at Qing Xiao and said, "Qing Xiao, you stay at the inn tonight. I will give you a jar of plum blossom wine tomorrow, and you can go up the mountain to pay homage to your uncle by yourself."
"Okay, okay." Qingxiao nodded, his expression inexplicably gloomy.
Li Changxiao took a sip of wine.
Qingxiao knows thunder magic, and he has seen it before. The second in command has also used thunder magic.
Thunder magic is exclusive to the Taoist sect.
Therefore, Qingxiao and the second in command must have a relationship.
Bye bye makes sense.
……
The next day.
Qingxiao took a jar of wine and went up to Meihua Mountain by himself, where he stayed for the entire morning.
At noon, after he had a meal in the inn, Mei Sanniang gave him a few jars of wine and the few remaining food items in the inn.
I even specially heated up a few slices of hot pancakes for him and put them on his body to keep him warm and to fill his stomach.
Qingxiao set out on his own path again.
With youth and vigor, and the tenacity to overcome any difficulties and obstacles, he moved towards reform.
There was an indescribable lightness in his steps, and the wind and snow could not crush him.
He waved.
Gradually disappeared from sight.
The three of them watched in silence, hoping that he would still be the same next time, or when they met next time.
"Reform..." the cook murmured.
He reached out and touched the kitchen knife on his waist.
Li Changxiao looked at Mei Sanniang. This woman was not just a flirtatious person. At least in front of Qingxiao, she acted like an elder.
I even specially scalded the pancakes.
All the remaining food in the inn was used up, but the cook and Li Changxiao did not intend to blame them.
That's good.
……
The snowstorm has passed.
Firecrackers rang out.
Another year has passed.
This year, the peach trees have grown taller and stronger, and the peaches they produce are large, plump and very sweet. Peaches of such good quality are absolutely impossible to buy anywhere else.
It can provide shade in the summer and allow you to pick peaches in the autumn.
During this year, the inn hosted many strange guests.
The market is much better than before.
this year.
Two special guests came, a man and a woman. The man was tall and straight, almost as tall as Li Changxiao, and the woman had rosy and tender skin and was very pretty.
They were the two little kids I had rescued before.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed.
Counting on fingers, the two have grown up, from this height to that height.
This made Li Changxiao and others feel dazed, as if they had just rescued these two little guys yesterday and sent them home, and they had suddenly grown so big today.
They came here to say goodbye. They had grown up and were now capable of venturing into the world. Their youthful righteousness made them unwilling to stay in a corner. They knew better that the world outside was very exciting, with thousands of doors and ways to longevity...
As their first stop, they planned to go to the Sword Sect of the Chi Tian Dynasty to learn sword skills and how to prolong their life.
Li Changxiao warned him to be careful on the road, not to drink too much, and not to be aggressive.
Mei Sanniang reminded her to wear clothes tightly and not dress up too flashy. She should not learn from her. She dressed like this because she was too powerful and no one dared to mess with her. Even if she took off all her clothes, nothing would happen to her. But they could not do that.
The cook frowned and tapped the two men, leaving two life-saving knife strikes.
After a simple farewell.
The two little brats from the past also left their hometown.
Come and go to the Inn...there is coming and going, or in other words, there must be going after coming.
Kanpaku, the second in command...
Li Changxiao is no exception.
This year, Li Changxiao is also leaving.
He heard that there was soul-extending liquid in the west, and Jade Rakshasa's soul was becoming increasingly thinner, so he... wanted to go and take a look.
There is always a banquet in the world.
The night before leaving.
Mei Sanniang told Li Changxiao that his tombstone would not be moved, and he should remember to inform her before he died so that she could help collect the body. However, if he died too late, she might not be able to help.
The cook remained silent.
That night passed by so uneventfully.
The next day.
Someone pushed the door open and left.
The inn was deserted.
