Xiayun came back to her senses, shook her head amusedly, and let the other party pull her forward.

Today is the last day of the year-end.In order to sweep away all the previous haze, Huapan decided to lift the curfew for one day after asking Xiayun for instructions, so that the people could spend a happy New Year's Eve.

After the news of the temporary lifting of the ban was released, the citizens of the city cheered like rain after a long drought.

Under the leadership of the owner of Zhinu House, the main street in the center of the city has been decorated in a joyous manner since daytime, with different stalls set up on both sides.

Those who keep the stalls are all smiling and selling with hearty shouts, which makes the atmosphere of the New Year lively.

After all, Feng Shu is a child at heart. After hearing that there will be fireworks there, he clamored to go to the market.

Xia Yun didn't like wandering around crowded places, but Feng Shu could see that he was elated and looking forward, so he had no choice but to nod and agreed to the trip.

So, the two of them tidied things up, and finally compromised with reality, using spells to conjure up a more youthful appearance, and went down the mountain hand in hand.

In order not to attract attention, Xia Yun used a spell to change her face just like when she was in the Second Yi Kingdom.

Although he felt that Feng Shu's appearance was also very eye-catching, after all, the other party didn't have much self-consciousness, so he let him go.

The two quickly shuttled through the mountains and forests, and soon arrived at their destination.As soon as they set foot on that street, they were pushed and rubbed by other people behind them and squeezed into the crowd.

"My lord, are you alright?"

Feng Shu looked at the dazzling array of stalls, his eyes lit up.Even so, he still cared about the person beside him, holding each other's hand tightly, fearing that if he let go, he would be swept away by the crowd.

"I'm fine. Which booth do you want to see?"

There were different aromas and sweat smells in the air, which made Xia Yun feel a little uncomfortable.

He didn't want to spoil Feng Shu's happiness, so he endured the surging blood in his chest and said so.

Hearing this, Feng Shu looked at him worriedly, and said: "Palace Master, there are too many people... Let's go to the side first."

"it is good."

Xiayun couldn't ask for more.In unison, the two stepped forward with their left legs and leaned towards the booth on the left.

After they finally crossed the crowd and took a breath, they realized that this was an ordinary steamed stuffed bun stand.

"Hey, Ma'am, don't rush to reach out, remember to put down the copper plate first, and then take the buns away!"

"I said old man, who wants to buy your buns? There are so many delicious foods here, I was just squeezed in."

The woman next to Xiayun snorted, withdrew her hand, and quickly disappeared into the crowd again.

The old man in front of the steamed stuffed bun stall sighed, counted the scattered copper coins on the stall, and carefully put them into the cloth bag on his waist.

Seeing this, Xia Yun and Feng Shu glanced at each other, the latter nodded knowingly, took out a few copper plates from his pocket, and put them on the steamed stuffed bun booth.

Seeing this, the old bun seller immediately brightened his eyes and said, "Thank you both! Do you want buns stuffed with pork, or stuffed with leeks?"

Xiayun looked at the old man, somehow feeling familiar.He thought for a while and said, "Let's have a few."

"okay!"

The old man cheerfully opened the steamer, took out a few round, steaming steamed buns, wrapped them in greased paper, and handed them to Xiayun.

"Young man, why do you look so lifeless after Chinese New Year? Young people, you should look a little young, don't always have a long face, like a boudoir."

"A deep boudoir? Me?"

Xiayun touched her cheek in a daze, and forgot to complain about the word "young man".

"That's right, this year's market is only for one day, and I want to go out to have fun at night in the future, but I won't have this chance."

The old man was talking to himself, then found another small bag and stuffed it into Xiayun's arms.

"Here, this is for you, don't make a sad face after eating."

Xiayun held the oil-paper bag in a daze, but didn't answer.Feng Shu on the side raised his eyebrows and asked, "Old man, what is this?"

"It's the sweet rice cakes distributed by the palace. After all, it's a festival, and everyone celebrates it."

The old man greeted passers-by and explained with a smile.

"I'm old, and I don't like to eat this kind of sticky thing. You can take it back and see if you want to eat it or give it away."

"So, thank you, old man."

Feng Shu bent over with a smile, quietly threw a few more copper coins to the bag stall, then took Xiayun's hand and continued to move forward.

"This Chinese New Year, the palace will still distribute food?"

Feng Shu smiled and said: "This is an old rule, only once a year. Mistress, you really should go outside more often, chatting with everyone, talking about things, and your heart will be much more relaxed. "

"What's there to talk about."

Xia Yun recalled the word "resentful woman in the boudoir" mentioned by the old bag seller, and couldn't help curling her lips.He let go of Fengshu's hand and walked forward.

"Palace Master, wait for me!"

Seeing this, Feng Shu hurriedly followed, and took Xiayun's hand again.

"Keep your voice down, it's not good to be heard."

Xia Yun didn't free her hand again, but just gave Feng Shu a reproachful look.

"Don't worry, it's noisy here, everyone is focusing on the carnival, no one will notice."

This statement is true.The city is crowded this year, but the main focus is on the stalls.Feng Shu's call did not attract anyone's attention.

"It's better to be careful." Xiayun looked around and said in a low voice.

Due to the painful experience in the past, as soon as he fell into the sea of ​​people, he would feel hot all over his body, as if being whipped by countless eyes.

Although she has used the Transformation Curse to change her appearance, Xiayun still feels that she is being watched, and she is both restless and restless.

"Otherwise, shall we go back?"

Feng Shu stopped and spoke hesitantly.

"Don't you want to watch the fireworks? You haven't watched it yet, so you're going back?"

"Fireworks are actually not that rare. I can make some for fun later on."

Xia Yun looked at Feng Shu's pretending indifference, her heart softened, and she said, "I've been talking about it for so long, I want to watch the fireworks. Why don't you put down your honorific title for now and call me "Chi Yun" . "

Feng Shu said: "This... seems to be a bit of a gap, right?"

Xia Yun said with a smile: ""Chi Yun" is not my real name, so I can't talk about the distance.The curfew can be temporarily lifted, so it's not too much to be presumptuous for such a night. "

Feng Shu lowered his head and said, "Then you..."

He held back for a long time, his lips opened and closed, but he didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Xia Yun frowned slightly, put her ear close to Feng Shu, and said: "What did you say?"

"I……"

Feng Shu seemed startled, and took a big step back.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a bright firework exploded from the sky, followed by the second, and the third... The deafening sound mixed with the cheers echoed in everyone's ears.

"Set off the fireworks!"

People's emotions immediately became agitated, and they desperately moved to the riverside where the fireworks were set off.In the chaos, Feng Shu let go of Xia Yun's hand, and just disappeared into the crowd.

"wind……"

As soon as Xiayun uttered a word and yelled, she was pushed and staggered, and squeezed forward with the flow of people.

Trapped in the crowd, he walked at a loss, was forced to come into contact with others from time to time, and was sensitively aware of the breath blown by others.

Seeing the man in front of him suddenly turn around, Xiayun couldn't help shaking violently, and quickly moved away.

He only wanted to stay away from the crowd, but he didn't carefully set the teleportation location.After finally calming down, Xiayun realized that she had actually moved back to Wanren Mountain.

Standing on a high mountain, looking at the bright light and fireworks in the distance, he couldn't help feeling angry with himself.

I don't know where Feng Shu is at the moment?

Looking at the flickering night sky, Xia Yun flew directly down the mountain without much thought.He had just passed Lan Yantang, and suddenly thought of something again, and he stopped in mid-air.

If he goes to meet up with Feng Shu, the other party will definitely not be able to enjoy himself to the fullest because of worrying about himself.

Now that they have already separated, why bother to rush back and disturb others' interest?

Xiayun hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to go back to the cave to rest.

Maybe it was because he was not in a hurry, or maybe it was because of the melancholy in his heart, Xiayun didn't fly away directly, but fell from the sky and walked forward slowly.

However, just as he took a few steps towards the city gate, he tripped over something and almost fell to the ground.

"hiss……"

Hearing the cry of pain, Xiayun's heart tensed at first, and then quickly jumped back.In the light of the fire in the distance, he caught a glimpse of a human leg on the ground he was stepping on.

Why is someone lying here in the middle of the night?

Xiayun stepped back cautiously, and threw a cluster of fluorescent lights in the direction of that leg.

Under the illumination of the white light, he could clearly see that the owner of those legs was a boy in a fine attire.

He lay down on the ground, panting continuously with his bruised mouth, and his face turned slightly green.

"what happened to you?"

Xiayun didn't rush forward, but asked with a guarded face.

"snake."

The little boy seemed to be very uncomfortable, but he didn't ask for help, but responded to Xiayun's question in a low voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rustling sound from the grass, and then a green shadow flashed past and quickly disappeared from sight.

Xiayun released her senses, and only after she didn't find anything abnormal, she squatted down next to the boy.

He searched carefully for a while, and soon found two teeth marks glowing green on the boy's bleeding calf.

"There is an evil spirit on it, it should not be an ordinary poisonous snake."

Looking at the wound that was steaming with poisonous mist, Xiayun murmured.

The boy half-opened his eyes, neither answered nor called for help.His forehead was covered with cold sweat, but his face was expressionless, almost unbelievably calm.

Seeing that his complexion was gradually darkening, Xiayun knew that it was due to the spread of the venom, so she immediately concentrated her mana and pressed it on the boy.

"what are you doing."

The little boy suddenly opened his eyes wide and asked with a vigilant expression.

"Healing. Why, usually when someone is injured and falls to the ground, don't they always help them?"

The boy withdrew his gaze and said, "No need, let's go."

——Isn't this kid quite tempered?

Seeing the boy's stubborn look, Xiayun couldn't help feeling a little funny.He didn't stop the healing spell as he said, but continued to send white light into the child's body.

"You are so young, why don't you want to live?"

"If you don't want to, don't think about it. It has nothing to do with age."

Xia Yun said: "That's true. It's rare to go out for a night, everyone is rushing to have a carnival, and you are being bitten by a snake?"

The boy seemed to be annoyed, so he closed his eyes and pretended not to hear.

Xiayun didn't take it seriously, seeing that the boy's complexion returned to normal, she withdrew her magic power.

He stretched out his hand to pinch that chubby little face, and said, "Okay, don't lie down and pretend to be dead, go home quickly."

The little boy opened his eyes and said, "Who told you to meddle in your own business?"

He shook off Xiayun's hand, propped himself on the ground, jumped up, and ran directly to the outside of the city.

"Hey, where are you going?"

Xiayun was a little worried, so she walked up to the boy and blocked his way.

"none of your business."

The little boy seemed to be taken aback, but with an expressionless face, he stretched out his hand and pushed Xiayun directly.

Seeing this, Xiayun turned around directly, moved behind the little boy, and then grabbed him by the collar like an eagle catching a chick, and lifted him up.

"Let go!"

The little boy waved his hands and feet a few times, and when he found that he couldn't break free, he yelled at Xiayun.

"If you want me to let go, you have to tell me where you are going first."

Xiayun is usually not interested in other people's private affairs, but Xiaotong's aggressive appearance reminds him of another person.

The little boy struggled for a while, seeing that Xiayun didn't intend to let him go, so he hung his limbs resentfully.

"I'm going out of the city to find my mother. What, are you satisfied?"

"Looking for a mother? I think you look like a child of a rich family. Why did you leave the city without a servant?"

Xiayun guessed that Xiaotong was angry with his family, so he sneaked out of the house.After all, it was not so easy for him as a child to freely enter and exit the city gate.

"Mother and father reconciled, I don't know where they went."

The little boy gritted his teeth, and said again: "You adults always like to control this and that. I miss my mother and want to find her, why can't I? Daddy just stop me, you are a stranger, why do you care about me ah?"

Xiayun couldn't help being stunned when she heard the crying tone in his tone.As soon as he let go, the little boy fell to the ground, wiped his face, and lay down on the ground.

"Since this doesn't work, and that doesn't work, then I'm dead at the head office, right?"

This time it was Xiayun's turn to be silent.He thought for a while, and followed the boy's example, lying directly on the ground.

As soon as Xiayun lay down, the little boy turned his back directly, but through the slightly shrugged shoulders, it was not difficult to see that he was crying.

Seeing this, Xiayun sat up halfway, took out a small bag containing sweet rice cakes from her arms, untied the rope, and spread it out in front of the boy.

"I don't sleep in the middle of the night, are you hungry? These are sweet rice cakes, you will feel better after eating them."

The little boy stared at the rice cake for a while, but he was not very polite. He just reached out and picked up a piece of cake, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Get up and eat, worrying about choking."

Xiayun grabbed the boy's arm and pulled him up to sit up.The boy didn't struggle this time, he directly swallowed the rice cake in his mouth, and then took another piece.

He devoured it voraciously, as if he wanted to vent his unhappiness by biting.

Seeing that there were still tears in the little boy's eyes, Xiayun reached out and patted him on the back, saying: "Okay, stop crying. Even if your father won't let you find your mother, you can't treat him in such an extreme way. myself."

"Why can't it? My life is up to me, my life can finally be decided by myself, right?"

Xiayun couldn't help sighing when she thought of the punishment she had received.He pondered for a while, and said: "It is possible, but the mother you miss so much, if you hear the news of your death, how sad will it be?"

"Anyway, my mother doesn't want me anymore, do I still need to care if she is sad?"

"What about your father? If you escaped from the house in the middle of the night, if you were really bitten to death by a snake, would he still have to feel guilty for the rest of his life?"

"So what about guilt for the rest of my life? He has made me motherless for the rest of my life, so why should I care about him?"

The little boy said, but the gloom between his brows slightly dissipated.He finished eating the rice cakes in two or three strokes, got up and patted the hem of his clothes, and said, "Okay, I'm leaving, don't follow me anymore."

"Gong... Blazing Cloud!"

Just as Xiayun was about to say something, she heard a familiar call.He turned around and waved to the people who were rushing, and then said with a smile: "Okay, then I'm leaving, you can go home obediently."

"Who wants to go home!"

While speaking, Feng Shu had already come in front of the two of them.He glanced at the little boy, then turned to Xiayun, and said, "Chiyun, who is this little brother?"

Xia Yun said: "It's just a starving child."

He took the bun from Feng Shu's arms, and handed it to the little boy together with the oiled paper wrapped in rice cake.

"Here, here are these buns for you, take them home and eat with your dad."

"have a finger in the pie."

The little boy said reluctantly, but still reached out and took the oil paper bag.He sized up Feng Shu, took another deep look at Xia Yun, and then ran away in a hurry.

"Hey, where are you going?"

Xia Yun shouted at the boy's back, but the boy ran without looking back, only to hear a shout from a distance: "Go home!"
