Demon Kings Repayment - Chapter 118

The eldest sister took Yuan Xianger back to her home.

The courtyard wall made of rammed earth, the roof made of thatch, there are two small thatched huts, a loess-leveled courtyard, and there are two thin and slender hens in the courtyard. Other than that, this home can almost Use the four walls of the family to describe it.

As a result, Nanhe and others didn’t even have space to enter the house, and just stood and waited in the yard.

Yuan Chunhua ran into a little girl who hadn’t seen her for many years. She was excited and could not care about anything else. Leading Yuan Xianger into the room, pulling her hand and looking up and down, her eyes were already red.

“It grows so much, it becomes fat, white, and beautiful. A sister just looked at you behind for a long time, she didn’t dare to come forward to recognize each other.”

She twitched the corners of her mouth to barely smile to the little girl who had been reunited for a long time, but her tears couldn’t help cracking down, and she had to cover her face with her sleeve.

“Xiang’er, you don’t know. After you were taken away, Zhaodi and I held each other and cried for several days. During those days, I couldn’t sleep well every night. I always dreamed that you were bullied, had no food, and were hungry. Call my sister in the stomach.” She choked up as she spoke.

Her six or seven-year-old eldest daughter and her three- or four-year-old sister brought tea into the house sensibly and hurriedly comforted her mother, “Don’t cry, mother, why is she crying?”

Yuan Chunhua hurriedly wiped her tears, “No, I have never cried. My mother is happy. Both girls and girls, this is your aunt, please call someone.”

The two little girls yelled loudly and put the freshly brewed thick tea in their hands on the table.

“Don’t just serve this, go, cook some poached eggs, put some sugar, and serve two to the guests in the yard,” Yuan Chunhua said to her eldest daughter.

The young girl obviously hesitated. Eggs and sugar are precious things to their family. There are so many visitors today.

“Go ahead, what are you doing? My mother hasn’t seen your aunt for more than ten years.” Yuan Chunhua gave her a push.

Not long after, the fat white poached egg was soaked in sugar water and brought to the table.

“Hurry up, you loved this when you were a kid.”

Yuan Xiang’er took a sip, the white water boiled in the soup with a hint of egg fragrance and sweetness, which seemed to have been eaten only once when the little brother was born in memory. At that time, I probably didn’t like this kind of food, but because I didn’t have to eat it, I was so hungry and panicked all day, I rarely saw a bit of meat and fish, and I almost swallowed my tongue.

The two little girls looked at her timidly and couldn’t help swallowing quietly.

Seven and four years old, with dirty faces, withered yellow hair, and thin limbs like firewood. They were young, pulling their sister’s skirts, like Yuan Xianger and Yuan Chunhua when they were young.

Yuan Xiang’er fed them the poached eggs in the bowl, fed them in one by one, feeding the two little girls so that they looked at her with bright eyes.

“I married into this village eight years ago, not far from our natal family, and occasionally I can go home to see my parents. Now there are two new houses built in my family. Last year, I took a daughter-in-law for Da Lang, and my younger siblings now have them. I’m pregnant. The younger brother should have a family in two years. Grandma is still there, but she can’t get up, and she doesn’t recognize people anymore. She still drinks medicine every day.” The elder sister talked about her natal situation.

Only the other girl in the family was not mentioned.

“Where is my second sister?”

“Call for her…” Yuan Chunhua hesitated for a moment. “My parents married her to an employee in the town and became a concubine.”

Yuan Xiang’er’s movements stopped for a moment, and then after feeding the whole bowl of sugar water, she wiped the mouths of the two little girls with the kerchief.

“Sell me alone, isn’t that enough?” She took the bowl back and said calmly.

“Zhaodi is willing to do it herself. She said she didn’t want to marry a poor person to live a hard life.” Yuan Chunhua sighed, “What can I do, the two boys in the family always have to pass on from generation to generation. It’s useless to hate me and don’t help much. Go to my family.”

She held Yuan Xiang’er’s hand, “Axiang, if you have time, you should go back and have a look.”

Yuan Xiang’er looked at the elder sister’s hands. The fingers were thick and covered with cracks and calluses. It took so much hard work to turn a pair of soft female hands into this look.

The eldest sister is undoubtedly a hardworking and gentle woman, walking on the mountain road with her younger brother on her back, and she did not forget to share the weight of pigweed from the young Yuan Xianger.

She would stand on a chair with her feet on her feet while she was cooking, while she would pick out some delicious food from the pot and secretly stuff it into the mouth of her younger siblings.

The eldest sister, who is always busy, is almost like a person who has never had a childhood. She is born mature and sensible, and has worked hard since she was a child.

Yuan Xianger undoubtedly likes this sister who has lived together for seven years, but at the same time she will never agree with her sister’s life outlook that is solidified by the times.

There was a little noise outside the courtyard, and a man dressed as a hunter pushed open the courtyard and came in.

Yuan Chunhua pulled Yuan Xiang’er out and introduced, “Xiang’er, this is your brother-in-law. Lang Jun, this is the youngest sister of my natal family. The one I told you before.”

The man was burly, dark-skinned, carrying a load of firewood. When I entered the yard and saw people sitting in the yard, everyone was holding a bowl of eggs in their hands, and his complexion became ugly. With a dark face, he did not say hello, and went in without a word.

Yuan Chunhua was very embarrassed, so she soothed Yuan Xianger, and hurriedly followed up into the house.

Soon the voice of the couple arguing in the house came.

“Xiaobao, his mother, your mother’s family is too frequent. Last year, my brother-in-law got married, and you took all the savings at home. The mother-in-law only came a few days ago, and you left me for your stew The pheasant stuffed her. You know you are still feeding Xiaobao.”

The woman’s grievance and grievance explained faintly.

Yuan Xianger took two purses, squatted down and put them in the arms of the two nieces, and went into the house to say goodbye to her eldest sister Yuan Chunhua.

Yuan Chunhua was both embarrassed and reluctant. Seeing Yuan Xianger’s resolute attitude, she had to tear them to the door.

She reluctantly held Yuan Xiang’er’s hand and said: “Axiang, if you are free, go back and see your parents.”

Yuan Xianger said, “Since my father and mother sold me at the beginning, thirty taels of silver, even if the gratitude is over, I will not go back.”

Yuan Chunhua was taken aback: “How can we speak like this when we are born as children? After all, parents are parents and there is no reason to deny it. Moreover, it was a last resort at the beginning.”

“Why can’t I say that? I have clearly seen the deed of selling one’s life back then. It clearly reads, “Life, death, sickness, and death, each by destiny, four directions of physiology, let the master take its place, no entanglement, never recognize each other. Since I was sold as a commodity, naturally there would be no longer my daughter.”

“That…that’s just a sales contract copied according to the usual practice.” The eldest sister said, she really couldn’t figure out how the gentle and sensible little sister back then could say such a rebellious relationship and deny her parents.

Yuan Xianger slowly pulled her hand out of her hand and left.

“Sister, take care. If Xianger is free, I’ll see you again.”

…

Yuan Xianger walked on the road in silence.

Qingyuan was very surprised when he saw this story. “You female doll has a very contradictory personality. You seem to be so soft-hearted on weekdays. Why are you so merciless to your blood and parents. Xiao Xianger, don’t be awkward, daddy After all, my mother gave birth to you. Since you are so close, it’s only a few steps away, so turn around and have a look?”

In this era when the son does not say that his father lived, even a cultivator like Qingyuan can hardly not understand Yuan Xianger’s mentality.

Wu Yuan was upset: “Why do you want Axiang to recognize them? Since they didn’t want Axiang when they were young. Naturally, Axiang can also not want them. It doesn’t matter who is born, it is the person who bothers to raise himself. A filial person. Just like my father is not my own father, I love him very much, and only listen to him.”

Hu Qing: “That’s right, Axiang, don’t listen to the smelly Taoist priest. Ah, isn’t Wu Yuan your father?”

Wu Yuan said that he had missed his life experience, and was very upset: “What about not my father? My father is much better than my own father.”

Dushuo: “We don’t care who is the biological father or mother. When you come out of the egg, the first thing you see, the one who grew up with you is the parent.

Talking here, a call came from behind.

Yuan Chunhua’s husband caught up all the way out of breath.

“Sister-in-law.” He bent over and gasped for a few breaths, and an embarrassing red appeared on his dark face. “I’m a rough person and don’t know the manners. I was impolite just now.”

He handed the two bulging purses to Yuan Xianger: “This is too expensive, we can’t take it.”

There was a little silver and two gold ingots in the purse. These things were nothing to Yuan Xiang’er, but the man in front of him ran sweaty and resolutely rejected it, even though the money could help the poor family a lot.

This made Yuan Xiang’er, who had been struggling for a long time, a little better.

“Brother-in-law, treat my sister well. Take the money. I give it to my nephews and nieces. Don’t let my sister take it back to her natal home.”

“The first time my brother-in-law saw you, he didn’t give you anything, but instead took your things. It’s not justified.”

The man wanted to resign, but Yuan Xianger had already left.

Obviously they were a petite and delicate girl and a few gentle and handsome lords, but when they really started off, Yuan Chunhua’s husband found that this time he couldn’t catch up.

The silhouette of the group of people didn’t see any movement, but they disappeared from his sight very quickly.

At this moment, Yuan Chunhua’s husband realized that the wife and sister who suddenly appeared at home today may not be an ordinary person.

Because of the delay here for a lot of time, the sky soon darkened, and most of the team were unrestrained monsters. Yuan Xianger and his party avoided the inn and chose a secluded place in the suburbs for the night.

As the night falls, foxes and worms scream, most of the companions have fallen asleep.

Yuan Xianger leaned on Nanhe’s huge fluffy body and looked at the stars in the night sky.

(Xiao Nan, would you miss your parents?) Yuan Xianger started the contract and spoke in her mind.

(Well, I miss it all the time.)

(They left Tianlang Mountain and didn’t wait for you. Are you angry with them?)

(Angry, even though I knew they had to leave, I was still very sad and angry for a long time. But I still miss them.)

Yuan Xiang’er and him looked at Sirius hanging down in the sky. The star was so dazzling and eye-catching in the night, as if he was also looking at them on the earth from the night sky.

(When I was young, I couldn’t ask for it, so I was frustrated. Now I got what I wanted most from Master and Madam. So, I don’t have any regrets anymore.)

(Axiang, if you want to go back and have a look, I will accompany you.)

Although Yuan Xiang’er didn’t say anything, Nan He still guessed what she wanted to take a look at.

Yuan Xiang’er rode on the back of Sirius, and quickly took the night to quietly return to Yuanjia Village where he was born.

In the early summer night, the village head stream was gurgling, and the grass in the forest, the shadows of the trees.

Occasionally the voice of human beings enjoying the coolness and speaking came from the courtyard.

Everything is too quiet and peaceful.

This is not the hometown Yuan Xianger remembers.

In Yuan Xianger’s memory, this season is the most active day for the little fairies. The abundant rain and the moist weather will make the light fairies fly happily in the woods, and the barefoot fairies will be there. The grass runs freely.

Yuan Xianger walked slowly along the familiar dirt road.

No more. There are not those firefly-like elves lingering in the air. There is no chirping chick or weasel, and no bunny with red eyes at every turn.

Those monsters, large and small, have been completely wiped out by humans.

The sound of children playing in a yard,

“It’s dark, don’t run blindly, be carefully caught by the fairy.” The elders in the family frightened him like this.

“Hehe, grandma, you are talking nonsense, there are no fairies in this world.” The child was not afraid.

When Yuan Xianger was young, although most of the children could not see the monsters walking around in the world, their hearts were still afraid of such names.

After all, those weird creatures that are different from human beings truly live by their side.

But in more than ten years, children who have never seen fairies have gradually begun to forget those creatures and listen to them as legends from their parents and elders.

Yuan Xiang’er opened the hidden body shape of the Tiantianhuan and came to the home where she had lived as a child.

The yard has expanded, and two brick houses have been added, with blue bricks and white walls, gray and black tiles, and the festive couplets on the door frames have not been removed.

Parents and grandmother still live in the old rammed-earth hut, and this new house built by a few daughters lives in the son who is responsible for the reception of Yuan’s family.

The concealed Yuan Xiang’er entered a dimly lit bedroom. On the bed of that room lay her grandmother who had been sick for many years.

When the old man was young, he stood with his hips akimbo and yelled at the gate for several hours, and he could hear him from the beginning to the end of the village.

Nowadays, he is about to die, and he can only lie on the hospital bed sluggishly. Even the family members can’t tell the difference accurately. He often calls his grandson by his son’s name.

Yuan Xianger looked at her. This grandma, who had never liked girls since she was a child, turned out a pack of caramel that had been hidden for a long time and handed it to her the day she left home.

“Grandma, I came to see you.” Yuan Xianger said softly.

The old man opened his muddy eyes and squinted for a long time.

“Axiang, Axiang is back.” The old man opened his toothless mouth and said tremblingly.

…

When Father Yuan entered the house with the soup medicine, the elderly mother grabbed his arm.

“Son, Axiang is back.”

“Mother, you are confused again, Xiang’er is no longer in our house.”

“She’s back, she was still standing here just now.”

Father Yuan didn’t care. It was not a matter of a day or two for his mother to be unconscious. He often admitted the wrong person, remembered the wrong thing, and talked nonsense.

He put the hot medicine bowl on the table, and was stunned. A neat pack of caramel and three dozen silver ingots were quietly placed on the table.

Father Yuan dropped the medicine bowl and chased outside the door. Outside the courtyard was a silent night, and a young girl stood quietly on the dim dirt road. His handsome eyes made him feel familiar and strange.

“Axiang, are you Xianger?” Father Yuan asked hesitantly.

A gust of evening breeze blew, and the fine dust was rolled up. Father Yuan rubbed his eyes and looked again. The figure of the daughter who had grown up in the dream seemed to be an illusion.

No one knows whether there is guilt in his heart, nor does he need to know.

After the sky was bright, everyone set out in the direction of Kunlun Mountain.

Yuan Xiang’er lay on the back of the wolf-shaped Nanhe, sleeping soundly all the way.

“Why is Axiang still sleeping today? Didn’t you sleep last night?” Wu Yuan asked puzzledly.

Nan He: “Speak down, she didn’t rest much last night.”

Qingyuan said with a smile, “I went to see her parents with you last night? I knew that the child’s heart was still soft. Did you settle with your parents yesterday?”

“Xiang’er doesn’t need to reconcile with anyone. She just reconciled with herself.” Nan He said.
