In front of the familiar small courtyard, the rammed earth wall that used to be built now looked extremely fragile, as if it could collapse into pieces with just a slight push.
The courtyard door was wide open, and Xu Luo walked in with ease.
Looking at the familiar mountain grape trellis, well, and lush vegetable patch in the corner, his eyes were a little dazed.
The corner where the wasted bamboo was once planted was replaced by a lush, genuine green bamboo, and traces of the holes left by the fight with Jinsha still remain on the earthen wall.
Xu Luo slowly approached, subconsciously reaching out to touch, but he quickly retracted it as if he was electrocuted.
He shouldn't leave any breath or trace here.
"Nian Luo, Nian Luo..."
An extremely familiar clear voice sounded in Xu Luo's ears.
His body trembled slightly and he turned around, looking at the beautiful woman walking out of the house, and his nose began to feel sore involuntarily.
Xu Luo's eyes were vaguely blurry, and pictures that were hidden deep in his heart flashed through his eyes.
There is Xu Si who cries endlessly for no reason, there is Xu Si who is obedient and sensible and takes care of his eldest brother who is lying limp in bed, and there is also Xu Si who is furious because others look down on him...
The little girl who only knew how to follow behind him has finally grown up!
Xu Si's figure was obviously plump, and she was holding a seven or eight-year-old boy in her hand.
The two walked to the stone table and sat down. The boy was a little naughty and fidgeted as if there were nails on the stool.
Xu Si, who was busy choosing vegetables at the side, slapped his butt hard twice, but the boy was thick-skinned and didn't care at all, and kept making trouble.
"Mother, I want to hear a story, I want to hear a story."
Xu Siqiao had a look of helplessness on her face.
"Okay, okay, Nian Luo, don't make trouble. Can my mother tell you the story of my uncle?"
Unexpectedly, Nian Luo didn't appreciate it at all and started shouting at the top of his lungs.
"No, I don't want it. I'm tired of hearing it. Besides, I've never met my uncle. My mother is a big liar..."
As soon as this childish remark came out, Xu Si and Xu Luo were both stunned.
Xu Si seemed to have regained the aggressiveness of her teenage years in an instant. She subconsciously picked up the bamboo broom next to her and whipped it with all her strength. Nian Luo was beaten until he rolled on the ground and cried loudly.
But as the beating continued, Xu Si threw away the bamboo broom in his hand and squatted on the ground helplessly, sobbing hoarsely.
Xu Luo subconsciously wanted to rush over, but the wooden crutch was lifted up instantly, but it still stopped in place when it fell.
At this time, he had a lot of mixed feelings in his heart, including anger, regret, emotion, and relief, but in the end they all turned into endless bitterness.
Nian Luo, Nian Luo... His name should be Jin Nian Luo, it's such a nice name!
Although Xiao Nianluo just said it unintentionally, it reminded Xu Luo of the fact that his disappearance might not be a good thing for the people here!
At this moment, Xu Si seemed to suddenly realize something, and looked over here with tears in his eyes.
Xu Luo's heart skipped a beat, and he almost thought his aura was exposed.
But at this moment, a tall figure walked in from outside the door.
"What kind of trouble are you two having? Nian Luo, you little bastard, are you making your mother angry again?"
"father!"
"Jinsha, you are the bastard...Pfft..."
Before Nian Luo could rush into Jin Sha's arms, Xu Si was already so angry that he burst into tears at the unscrupulous words of the bastard, and glared at her with beautiful eyes.
At this time, Xu Luo, his childhood playmate, had long grown a short beard, and his expression no longer looked as frivolous and wanton as when he was young. Only his eyes, which flashed from time to time, still retained a bit of the high-spiritedness of the past.
Xu Luo just stood beside the wall like this, watching the couple become loving mothers and filial piety after a while, watching the family of three enjoying themselves happily, watching the couple treat each other with respect like guests, watching the night cover the courtyard, and the candlelight flickered out...
Finally, Xu Luo laughed silently in the pitch-black night, and quietly disappeared into the small courtyard.
The newly built headquarters of the Sanhebao Exorcism Department is not far from the North City.
Li Qinghe came out of the secret room tiredly. As soon as he turned the corner of the corridor, Xu Luo's figure appeared outside the secret room.
The quiet room door exploded like a clay sculpture under the corner, followed by invisible green whiskers, covering up all movement in an instant.
The old drunkard who was meditating on the bed in the room didn't even have time to open his eyes. His body was about to bounce up subconsciously, but immediately a heavy wooden cane was quietly pressed into his throat.
The old drunkard broke out in a cold sweat and asked hoarsely.
"I don't know which friend it is. Is there some misunderstanding?"
Xu Luo waved his hand, and dense green beards filled the entire quiet room. Then he moved the wooden crutch and walked to the table next to him to sit down.
But when the old drunkard saw his relaxed manner, the last trace of resistance in his heart immediately disappeared without a trace.
He sighed and sat down next to Xu Luo. He raised the gourd and took a sip.
"Who are you? If you want to know anything, just ask!"
As people mature with age, he figured out in an instant that Xu Luo could keep his life, which proved that he was still valuable.
Xu Luo didn't intend to play tricks and just laughed.
"Senior, don't worry. I am Xu Luo. I was asked by senior Xiuguang to investigate the matter of Moshui County."
Xu Luo?
The old drunkard felt that this name was somewhat familiar, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes after a moment.
"How good is that girl Xi Xi?"
Well, this old man is really a wonderful person!
Xu Luo has been hanging around in Moshui County for several years, and he doesn't even deserve a name. Instead, he seems to be known to everyone because of his involvement with Gu Xixi.
Moreover, these words were so straightforward and concise that Xu Luo was so shocked that he didn't know how to answer.
He seemed a little unwilling to say no, but he said yes, but it was clear that no crime had been committed, so in the end he could only laugh awkwardly a few times.
"Friends, they are all friends! I come from Panshi City. What is going on in Moshui County? I asked my senior to teach me."
Xu Luo didn't have time to delay with him. Although Wushengzhu could cover his aura, it would still consume his energy and blood!
He took out the Gui Zheng wooden sign given by Yu Xiuguang and placed it on the table. The old drunkard looked at it carefully for a few times, and then his tense body completely relaxed.
"That's right, it was because of the lame man's aura. When the old man realized something was wrong that day, the situation at the scene was already over..."
At this point, the old drunkard's eyes showed reluctance and hatred, and he took another sip of wine before slowly talking about it.
"The enemy is at least in the Aiki realm and is quite familiar with the Moshui County Exorcism Department.
Not only are we familiar with the magical powers and companion creatures of the few of us, but we also know the central node of the city defense formation, its opening and operation methods.
Caught off guard, the Aiki realm master made a ruthless move and destroyed Lao He and the other two.
If I, the old drunkard, hadn't been defending Si Zheng so hard, I would have been in trouble...
But there’s something that the old drunkard can’t figure out. Sizheng seems to know who the visitor is, at least he must know which force it belongs to.”
Xu Luo's eyes lit up and he asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Is Gu Sizheng still safe?"
The old drunkard shook his head and picked up the wine gourd in despair, with a hint of regret in his words.
"Old drunkard really doesn't know. I don't like to take care of things on weekdays. Even in the Reformed sect, it's just a name. If Old He and the two are still alive, there may be more news.
Ahem, hey..."
His injuries were obviously not fully healed yet, and even if he was slightly agitated, he immediately coughed dryly.
Green light surged in Xu Luo's palm, and he quietly smashed a piece of spiritual dew into his body.
The old drunkard immediately became energetic. He looked at him gratefully and hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Based on the old drunkard's understanding of Sizheng, he has been living in seclusion for so many years in Moshui County. It is impossible for him to have any enemies. But there is only one place in Dayan where he can send a master of the Heqi realm to do such dirty things."
"Reward Jing!"
Xu Luo blurted out subconsciously, and the old drunkard nodded, making a sound like a bellows in his throat.
Xu Luo sighed inwardly and put his hand on his shoulder.
"Senior, please be patient for a while longer. Can you try to dispel the turbid evil in your body?"
As soon as the two met, Xu Luo could see that the reason why his injuries had not improved was because of the existence of the turbid evil in his body.
This thing is like a deadly poison to others, but to Wushengzhu it is just a snack.
In just a moment, the old drunkard's pale face turned red, his aura quickly became stronger, and his old face showed a look of disbelief.
"My little friend is so young and has already reached the Ningsha state?"
Xu Luo laughed and shook his head, not bothering to explain and just changed the topic.
"Young man plans to go to the Rewarding Capital City. I wonder what your senior's plans are in the future?"
The old drunkard was stunned for a moment, then tightened the gourd in his arms, and after a long while he sighed.
“The old drunkard has lost all his relatives, has no children, and has no great ambitions in life, so he can only get what he wants in his cup.
In the past, I admired Si Zheng's talent and followed him to Moshui County. He stayed here for decades, but now that he is older, he doesn't want to move.
If you managed to escape this disaster in Sanhe Fort this time, you are destined to spend the rest of your life repaying it. If nothing else, this may be the retirement home for old drunkards."
Xu Luo was not too surprised by this result.
When he was in Moshui County, this old man had a character that was indifferent to the world and indifferent to fame and wealth. Now he is seriously injured and has not yet recovered. It is hard to say how much combat power he has left. It is not a bad thing to stay in Sanhe Fort.
With him here, this small town at least has an extra layer of security.
"In this case, I will ask my seniors to take more care of Sanhe Fort in the future. Xu Luo is very grateful for this. I came here in secret for this trip. I also ask my seniors not to make any announcements and leave here..."
Before Xu Luo finished speaking, the whole person slowly disappeared under the eyes of the old drunkard, but the old drunkard was unable to detect any trace of him.
The green ox cart was running on the wide straight road. Xu Luo, who was sitting cross-legged on the shaft of the cart, had no expression on his face.
A faint blush suddenly appeared on the mountain tops that reached into the sky in the distance. The next moment, the clouds and mists dispersed, and thousands of morning glows bloomed like sharp arrows.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or not, but at this moment, there was a faint ringing of a bell from far behind, and the Qingniu cart suddenly stopped.
Xu Luo slowly turned his head and looked at Sanhe Fort, which was already blurry in his sight. He seemed a little crazy for a moment.
