The second day of the Lunar New Year every year is Xia Tong's most difficult day, thinking about the strange eyes of those people looking at her, she doesn't want to go out, let alone go to the holy place to worship the stone and worship the ancestors.

Xia Tong sat in front of the dresser in a daze, the face in the mirror has undergone earth-shaking changes, she has been on this mountain for seven years, she has changed from eleven years old to eighteen years old, but even if she has lived here for seven years, she has rarely gone out of the yard, and the people on the mountain can't recognize it.

A sinner's daughter, whose face dangled before all.

Thinking of this, Xia Tong cleaned up the things on the table, combed his hair, took out the ancestral emblem in the drawer, put it on, and prepared to go out.

The more faceless she is, the more she has to do these etiquettes, she has been to the ancestral tree is the Xia family, and the stone sacrifice to the ancestors should have passed, and she can't be capricious, let alone make him embarrassed.

Xia Tong had just cleaned himself up when there was a knock at the door.

"Ready? It's not early, and we'll be fine after breakfast. ”

It was Xia Zijun's voice, gentle, cold, and without any temperature, but Xia Tong's heart warmed when he heard this voice.

It was this man who saved her at the beginning, and then she lived in his yard, although the two lived in two directions, east and west, and they couldn't see each other in a day, but she felt that this person was warm, even if his hair was half covered with his face, even if he didn't have a smile on his face.

Xia Tong pulled her clothes and walked over quickly to open the door, she didn't dare to look directly at the people outside, lowered her head and said softly, "I'm ready." ”

didn't get any response, Xia Tong saw Xia Zijun preparing to go downstairs, and followed silently with his fingers twisted.

In fact, the two usually eat separately, but every year today, he will accompany him to eat breakfast and lunch, I don't know why, but she just feels intimate.

A simple breakfast, the two of them were silent, and they went out one after the other, keeping a half-step distance.

Today is the annual event of the Xia family, not only to hold a ceremony, but also to some people to go to the ancestral genealogy.

Xia Tong has been following Xia Zijun, standing at the very edge of the corridor with her head down, she wants to reduce her sense of presence in this way, but she can't do it, and after a while, a little girl actually took the initiative to greet her.

"Big sister, good morning!"

Xia Shuo passed by the long corridor, and rarely saw a sister, so he naturally waved his hand at her, and he didn't stay long, and he laughed and walked away with his father's wheelchair.

Who is this girl?

Xia Tong raised his head and confirmed that the little girl was the first time she had seen her, and the woman who was pushing Xia Qi was so beautiful that she hadn't seen it before, it seemed that the three of them were a family!

"That child is my eldest brother, and today the mother and daughter will officially become the Xia family after they have passed the ancestral tree."

Xia Zijun on the side explained when he saw her surprise, but after he finished speaking, Xia Tong was even more confused, Xia Qi has been on the mountain for so many years, when did a woman and a child appear.

Don't......

"Is she Shang Yu?" Seven or eight years ago, when she first returned to the mountain, she also heard her parents mention it.

"Yes."

"So, that kid?" Is it a human or a demon?

Sure enough, it was a woman, and they all cared about these gossips, Xia Zijun glanced at her, "The child inherited the mother's body." ”

Wow, that's too much at stake!

Even demons can be inherited.

Xia Tong's eyes kept following Xia Shuo, and Leng Buding's shoulder was pulled, and when he turned his head, he saw the sect master and his wife coming out with the children.

Xia Tong, who has participated in so many ceremonies, is already familiar with various forms, from morning to noon, she has been following Xia Zijun, facing the scrutiny of others, only hiding in his shadow, she has a trace of safety.

On the way back to the yard, she didn't say a word, the more days like today came to the back, the more sad she became, although she was no longer alone and secretly sad like before, but she still couldn't help the sourness in her heart.

In the evening, everyone went to the main courtyard to attend the dinner, and Xia Tong also went, sat in the corner and ate a little before sneaking away.

She went back to her room first, took out the wine and Buddha incense that had been hidden for nearly half a month, stuffed them in her coat and quietly went to the back mountain.

The things on her body were made by her to make excuses in advance and ask the housekeeper for the purpose of this day.

's father is a sinner, not to mention entering the holy land of the Xia family, he doesn't even have a well-dressed grave, but no matter what, it is the parents who gave birth to her and raised her.

"Dad, Mom. My daughter has come to see you. Xia Tong knelt down in the place where Xia Chi and Luo Yi died, lit the small handful of Buddha incense by the moonlight, unscrewed the cap of the bottle and poured some wine on the ground.

This place was no longer the same as it was then, the big hole had been filled in, and trees had been transplanted, and if it weren't for the big rocks not far away, she probably wouldn't have found the place.

In the cold night, there was a biting cold wind everywhere in the forest, Xia Tong silently shed tears for a while, and when the incense burned out, he was getting up when he heard a slight movement behind him.

Someone came over, Xia Tong was shocked, got up in a panic and turned her head, and saw a familiar figure, but she was so frightened that she stammered.

"I, I, I just think the banquet is too stuffy, come out for a walk." Xia Tong took a step back, didn't notice the wine bottle that was still on the ground, and kicked it down directly with a crisp sound.

That's really ......

"The banquet is too stuffy, do you come out with wine to sell drunk?" Xia Zijun came to the woman, looked at her helpless little appearance and did not speak for the time being.

was caught by someone, Xia Tong's heart was like falling into an ice cellar, you must know that this matter is not a trivial matter at all, she secretly came to worship her father who killed two generations of the Xia family, and was known by others, and her heart was destroyed.

However, the person who found her at this time was him, and Xia Tong felt a little lucky in his heart.

"I'm sorry, I, I couldn't hold back today, and I won't come back in the future." Xia Tong bowed his head and admitted his mistake, only hoping that he could let her go this time for the sake of getting along for so many years.

"Can't hold back today?" Xia Zijun smiled, ?" You haven't been able to hold back in the past seven years. ”

What the?

Xia Tong raised his head in shock, and saw the man's face, and his heart couldn't stop beating wildly, originally he knew from the beginning, he hadn't said it before, so today is ......

Xia Tong's heart is like a boat in a storm, his shaking brain can't think, it's all messed up.

"There are a lot of people on this mountain, don't come out again in the future, if you really want to worship, just find a place in the yard."

Xia Zijun still looked cold, and turned around and left after saying this, but before he could take two steps, a gust of wind blew behind him, and then his waist was hugged from behind.

Xia Tong didn't speak, just hugged someone and cried, for the first time she felt that others cared about her, and all she was moved in her heart was filled with emotion, she didn't expect that someone would take her orphan girl to heart.

"It's not a kid anymore, so it's very inappropriate."

Xia Zijun's body was a little stiff, and his face turned red quietly in the dark night, but fortunately, no one could see it.

Xia Tong was excited just now, Xia Zijun said that it was inappropriate, she suddenly wanted to laugh again, let go of the person and wiped her tears and said, "It turns out that in your eyes, I am also a big girl!" ”
