The warm wind blew into the dilapidated alley, blowing away the flies hovering outside the butcher shop. The old man who was chopping ribs on the chopping board put down the butcher knife in his hand.
In the dilapidated small courtyard, the wine glass fell from a skinny hand, and an old man stood up and pushed open the courtyard door.
…
The drunkard and the butcher looked at the three people walking from the alley. To be precise, they looked at the young man in white.
The two of them had never met the young man, but they knew who he was, so even though they were the most powerful people in Hao Tianxia, they just looked at the young man quietly.
When the young man walked to the butcher shop, the butcher picked up a white cloth and wiped the minced meat in his hand clean, and saluted the young man slowly. When the young man looked at the drunkard, the drunkard smoothed his clothes and saluted the young man slowly.
Finally, the butcher looked at the young man and asked, "What brings Mr. Twelve here?"
The young man said: "Ask a question."
The drunkard walked beside the butcher and said: "Excuse me, Mr. Twelve."
The young man pointed to the sky and said: "It's not dark anymore, so you don't have to hide anymore, so I want to ask you what you want to choose?"
When Haotian came to the human world, he really needed to make a choice, such as whether to continue hiding or to enjoy a life without the oppression of eternal night.
However, the two of them knew that the boy did not come to ask them what their choices were, but to let them choose the choice he wanted.
After a long time, the drunkard said: "We have been running away because we want to live, so what we have been pursuing is living, because only by living can people enjoy life, even if life is full of humiliation and fear."
The butcher said: "Death is a great terror in the world, so I want to live."
Ye Chao nodded, then looked at the two girls behind him and said, "Okay, we're done, let's go."
When the three men turned around, the butcher's butcher's knife shattered and the drunkard's wine flask shattered.
The two of them didn't say anything else. They just stood there in silence. After the sun set in the sky, the drunkard looked at the butcher and asked, "How tall is he?"
The butcher pointed to the sky and said, "It's probably that high."
The drunkard smiled bitterly and said, "That's good. Even though I'm back in the Five Realms, I can still have a good meal of meat and a drink."
After saying that, he looked at his small courtyard and said nothing for a long time.
The butcher put the chopped ribs in the basin, looked at the drunkard staying in the room and said, "I heard he also loves wine."
…
…
After the carriage left the town, it went all the way south to the Song Dynasty.
Ye Chao looked at Nanhai for a long time and said, "It's reasonable to seek truth, that's all. Anyway, we still have that boy Ning Que."
Ye Hongyu glanced at Ye Chao with gratitude and saluted to the endless South China Sea.
The carriage then headed north.
…
One day, the lecturer looked towards somewhere in the Western Wilderness.
Countless Buddhist disciples asked about the reason, but the first lecturer remained silent. After the stick of Buddhist incense burned out, the first lecturer walked out of the Buddhist hall and looked at the millions of serfs at the foot of Xuankong Mountain with a complicated expression.
"Everyone can become a Buddha."
Under the bodhi tree on the Xihuang grassland, Mo Shanshan pointed at the sinkhole and said something angrily, while Ye Hongyu looked at Xuankong Mountain with disdain.
Ye Chao drank a jar of fine wine that came from the drunkard's courtyard, looked at Mo Shanshan and said, "Soon, the serfs will be able to stand up."
The carriage traveled from the east again, once to the golden royal tent, and then traveled north again, arriving at the Daming Lake on Tianqi Mountain.
…
By the rippling Daming Lake, Ye Chao was lying among the green grass and whistling leisurely.
A cheer came from the lakeside. Mo Shanshan placed a fat fish in front of Ye Hongyu. Ye Hongyu threw the fishing rod aside with an indifferent expression.
Not long after, a bonfire was lit beside Yanming Lake, and the smell of fish gradually spread.
At this time, Ye Hongyu was biting the plump salted fish fiercely, and looked at Mo Shanshan who was helping Ye Chao grill the fish with displeasure. Perhaps because he had been watching for a long time, the anger and jealousy in his heart accumulated to her.
The limit of what she could endure. After swallowing the fish that tasted pretty good in her mouth, she cursed angrily: "Adulterer**."
Mo Shanshan was not angry after hearing this, but pointed at the salted fish in Ye Hongyu's hand and said, "Master God, is the fish still delicious?"
Ye Hongyu said in a strange tone: "The fish caught by Master Mo Shan and grilled by Mr. Twelve himself, it is naturally delicious, very delicious!"
Mo Shanshan said: "It's delicious, Lord God, please eat more."
Ye Chao was speechless, automatically filtering the words of the two women out of his mind, and kept thinking about the techniques that Master mentioned when grilling fish.
"Chi~cha"
A bird song carried along the mountain wind to the ears of several people. Mo Shanshan and Ye Hongyu stopped arguing and looked at the woods to the south of the lake. Ye Chao stood up and looked there regardless of the burnt salted fish.
Suddenly, a blue shadow flew from the forest, and Ye Chao skillfully caught it and put it close to his face.
The figure of the little sparrow appeared and jumped on his shoulder, its little eyes were constantly shedding tears, and it rubbed his cheek with its furry head.
After a long time, Ye Chao took it back into his hand and gently wiped away the tears from its eyes.
"My life is tough, it's not like you don't know."
"Chirp!"
"I know, I won't leave you behind anymore. By the way, where is Dahei?"
The little sparrow pointed its wings to the forest, and a black shadow rushed out at this moment.
Ye Chao's expression changed. Of course, it wasn't that he didn't recognize Dahei who was running at top speed, but because there was a girl sitting on Dahei's back. The girl was very good-looking, but her face at this time was very...
cold.
Dahei stopped in front of the bonfire, resisting the urge to get close to Ye Chao. After the girl landed on his back, he walked beside Ye Hongyu.
After Yu Liang saw Ye Hongyu and Mo Shanshan clearly, the cold expression on his face became even colder. As if he didn't see the two women's salutes, he walked directly in front of Ye Chao. She didn't explain anything.
When Ye Chao had the opportunity to speak, he stretched out his jade hand and grabbed Ye Chao's ear.
"Oh~ Senior sister, it hurts!"
"If you knew it hurt, then why didn't you tell me when you left with the teacher?" After Yu Lian finished speaking, he pinched Ye Chao's ear and twisted his hand.
Ye Chao gritted his teeth and said urgently: "Because it's very dangerous, I'm afraid that Senior Sister will be sad."
"Then why don't you go back to the academy first?"
"There are many things that the teacher is unwilling to do, but I don't care, so I have to do something for the academy."
"This is not your excuse. If you want to do something for the academy, you can go back to the academy first. I must let you remember this lesson today!"
The wind in Daming Lake seemed to have become stronger due to the return of their owner, carrying the cries of pain by the lake far away.
…
"Ugh~ Senior Sister Seven, why are you twisting in such pain?"
Muyou stared at Ye Chao fiercely and said: "Nonsense, who makes you so heartless? I raised you so big, you didn't think of returning to the academy to report first, but you played with the bookworm and Taoist idiot. If it doesn't hurt,
Can you retain your memory?"
"I know it's useless to explain, but senior sister, can you change your ear?"
Muyou asked: "Why?"
Ye Chao cried out in pain and said, "This is the one that Third Senior Sister twisted in the past few days."
After Muyou listened, she used her free hand to twist Ye Chao's other ear.
"I have made wedding clothes for you. You come with me to take a look. We will get married tomorrow."
