Xu Da gently flicked his sleeves, and Wang Er and Kingfisher simultaneously felt a pair of invisible hands on their knees, lifting them up.
"There is no need to give such a big gift, please get up, you are all good children."
Wang Er nodded excitedly, "Thank you, Master Patriarch!"
Only then did Kingfisher clearly hear Wang Er's words. He raised his head in surprise and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, "Are you the Patriarch?"
Xu Da smiled and nodded.
Kingfisher was stunned. She had always thought that the Grandmaster had passed away. After all, the Grandmaster didn't sound like he was still alive.
"You, you are still alive!" Kingfisher laughed happily, feeling sincerely happy from the bottom of his heart.
Xu Da: "..."
Xu Yue and Xu Dalang laughed out loud. If they weren't afraid of waking up the twins who were already sleeping, they would have been unable to control their laughter at this moment.
When Kingfisher was twelve or thirteen years old, he stayed in the village. The village was closed and the villagers were simple. The little girl's biggest wish was to go out to work with Wang Er, a fellow disciple, when she was over fourteen years old, and to contribute to the family.
Earn food and feed the whole family.
Therefore, I don't understand much about human nature, I don't understand why Xu Yue and Xu Dalang laughed, and I don't understand why the ancestor's face turned dark.
But she didn't know. The more she didn't understand, the more suffocated Xu Da felt, as if he had been hit with a fist on a ball of cotton. He couldn't curse or say anything, he was suffocated to death!
Fortunately, Wen Qing quickly broke the awkward atmosphere and asked Wang Er and Kingfisher to sit down on the moisture-proof mat.
The kingfisher is curious about everything. With its hair like dry grass, it looks here and there, but it can never get enough.
The large tent, the silver mat, the glass oil lamp shining through the head, and many, many more things she had never seen before.
Kingfisher looked at the clothes on Xu Yue, who was also a woman. They had no patches, were clean and fit, and had a light pink color.
Then she lowered her head and looked at the patched clothes on her body. These were the clothes that the maids didn’t want, which my mother had picked up when she was working at Mr. Lei’s house. They were originally worn by my sister. After my sister finished wearing them, my second brother wore them. After my second brother finished wearing them,
It was her turn to wear it.
Kingfisher takes good care of her clothes because they are the only ones she can wear out.
Looking at Xu Yue, Kingfisher's eyes were filled with outright envy. She did not listen to the actions discussed by Wang Er, Xu Da and others. She stared directly at Xu Yue and asked her in a low voice:
"Sister, are you Xu Jiajun?"
She had only joined the Huokang Gang for two months, but she already knew that the Huokang Gang worked for the Xu Jiajun.
Xu Yuezheng was watching intently what her father would do next when she deployed the Huokang Gang, when she suddenly heard Kingfisher's small voice asking. He raised his head and quickly glanced at the overly young girl, and saw that she was just envious and curious, so he nodded.
As expected, Kingfisher looked surprised and asked in a low voice: "They all say that Xu Jiajun is a magic weapon descended from the sky. Sister, do you really know magic?"
Xu Yue guessed that the people she meant were Sun Ashan and others. She smiled and did not respond to the question.
Kingfisher didn't mind either, she just had a question to ask, "I heard that joining the Xu Family Army can help you practice magic?"
Xu Yue nodded, if mastering science is also a mysterious method.
Kingfisher's eyes suddenly burst with infinite hope. Although his voice was soft, he said firmly: "I also want to be a Xu Jiajun, practice magic, and help the villagers live a good life."
Xu Yue caught a glimpse of the straw sandals on her feet. The shoes were obviously a few sizes too big. They must have been worn by an elder in the family.
"Does your family know you came out?" Xu Yue asked.
Kingfisher was still imagining the bright future of becoming Xu Jiajun and doing good things for the villagers. When he heard Xu Yue's question, he bit his mouth guiltily and shook his little head, as yellow as straw, "No."
Xu Yue glanced at Wang Er, who was already chatting with her father and Wen Qing, and then looked at the confused Kingfisher, feeling that she was not suitable to participate in this meeting.
Then he stood up and said, "Then let me take you home first."
Kingfisher frowned. She was not stupid. She could see that she was being disliked and said stubbornly: "I can help too!"
"This task is not suitable for children." Xu Yue said in a deep voice, and her black eyes glanced at Wang Er. Wang Er's heart trembled, and the conversation between Xu Da and others stopped.
Wang Er did not know Xu Yue's identity, but the sense of oppression brought by her glance made Wang Er realize that her identity in the Xu family army was not simple.
"I know, I must pay attention next time." Wang Er apologized.
Xu Yue nodded at him, indicating that they should continue talking, and stood up and waved to Kingfisher, intending to take her home.
Xu Dalang wanted to follow, but he caught a glimpse of the twins sleeping soundly in the corner, so he stayed.
Kingfisher looked at everyone in the tent and found that no one was looking at him, so he could only accept his fate and follow Xu Yue away dejectedly.
It was late at night, and only a crescent moon hung high in the sky, casting a faint light and reflecting a vague outline of the small mountain village.
The people in the village had already rested, and the surroundings were so quiet that only the footsteps of Xu Yue and the kingfisher and the chirping of crickets in the grass were heard.
Xu Yue walked very slowly, and the kingfisher could barely keep up with her.
"Sister, aren't you afraid of the dark?" The kingfisher almost stuck to Xu Yue's back, as if this way it felt safe enough.
When she asked, she didn't wait for Xu Yue to answer, and continued: "Ah, I forgot that my sister is the Xu Jiajun. The Xu Jiajun are all good at immortal magic, so my sister won't be afraid, right?"
"..."
The answer to the kingfisher was the cold wind blowing from the foot of the mountain.
Spring has just begun, and the nights are still relatively cold. Kingfisher was wearing very little, so he couldn't help but shiver from the cold. "It's so cold. Sister, you only wear one piece of clothing. Aren't you cold?"
"Look at me!" She knocked on her head in annoyance, "My sister is Xu Jiajun, how can she be afraid of the cold~"
"Don't mention the word Xu Jiajun again." Xu Yue reminded seriously.
The kingfisher was stunned.
Xu Yue was really afraid that her mouth would accidentally make her angry, so she patiently explained: "This is not Youzhou. Mentioning their opponent's name on the enemy's territory is not asking for death."
"Besides, you will only expose the whereabouts of our army and cause us trouble."
When Kingfisher heard this, he remembered this incident, swallowed in fear, and quickly promised: "Sister, I will never say it again!"
Xu Yue turned around and patted her little head, "That's good~"
"You, don't be like this. Sister, you don't look much older than me. Don't imitate your elders." Kingfisher resisted shyly.
Xu Yue chuckled softly and thought to herself, not only do I look so young, but also counting my age in my previous life, I can be a grandma here.
Suddenly there was a sound of "Gulu!" in the darkness. Xu Yue turned around after hearing the sound. The kingfisher covered his belly in embarrassment, and squeezed out a wry smile of embarrassment on his sallow and thin face.
"I went to bed early before, but now I'm dreaming, so I won't feel hungry..."
