"Master, I've got the carriage ready, can you see when we leave the city?" Xie Dongping, the old housekeeper of the Xie family, walked in the door and stood beside the old man Xie Jue and asked respectfully.

"Ready, let's go. Another year!" Xie Jue sighed.

Today is the third anniversary of the death of Young Master Xie, the only boy in the Xie family, and Master Xie and his wife are going to their son's grave to see their son.

In the past three years, Xie Jue and his wife only missed their son who died early, and they had nothing to do with it. The two of them have also changed from middle-aged with black hair to twilight with white hair, looking lifeless.

The taste of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person makes people break their hearts and intestines.

The Xie family is a well-known family in Huoyun City. Xie Jue's medical skills are exquisite, especially famous for his alchemy in Huoyun City, and he serves as the chief Dan master of the Huoyun Alchemy Institute.

Young Master Xie was also a prominent figure in this Huoyun City during his lifetime, and his alchemy cultivation qualifications were very extraordinary.

Xie Jue has always wanted to pass on his alchemy skills to his son, but Young Master Xie has not been interested in alchemy since he was a child, and only loves to cultivate, but his cultivation is indeed the best among the young people of the same generation in Huoyun City.

It's a pity that during an exploration of the Ancient Vault, none of the five people who went there survived. The other four died directly in the vault, only Young Master Xie escaped from the vault, but before he could return to Xie's house, he also died halfway through.

"Madam, people can't be resurrected from death, so don't be too sad. Xie Jue suppressed his grief and said to Mrs. Relief.

"Well, but I miss my son more at this time of day. Mrs. Xie held back tears in her eyes, "Let's go." ”

Xie Jue and his wife got into the carriage, Xie Dongping sat in front of the carriage and drove the carriage out of the city.

Today the weather is exceptionally cold, and the wind blows on people's faces like knives. Except for the carriage of the Xie family, no one has left the city at this time.

Out of the city gate, Xie Dongping put the collar of his clothes up to cover his face, revealing only a pair of eyes full of vicissitudes.

Young Master Xie grew up watching Xie Dongping since he was a child, although he is not his own son, his feelings are not much worse than his own.

Heavenly jealousy, this Xie Dongping sighed secretly.

Xie Fan was cold and hungry, his face was red from the cold, his hands and feet were almost numb, and there was no warmth in his body.

Walking all the way out of the mountains, although his physical fitness is much better than ordinary people, after all, he is still a mortal who has not crossed the ranks of cultivators. In this biting cold wind, the thin clothes on the body can play a very small role.

After all, when you see the city gate, the wind will be much lighter when you enter the city, and then go to ask for some dry food, and first find a place to rest and rest from the wind. Xie Fan thought in his heart, in this unfamiliar Huoyun City, no one should think much about the sudden emergence of a little beggar. Wait for the surrounding environment to become familiar, and then find other ways to find out about alchemy.

In the distance, a horse-drawn carriage came in the distance, and in the dry cold wind of winter, the wheels carried up the dust on the official road, winding like a yellow dragon.

Xie Fan stood on the side of the road early and got out of the way, so as not to encounter arrogant and domineering people, and then he was slow to avoid and cause some unnecessary right and wrong. At this time, more is better than less.

Not long after, the carriage came to Xie Fan. I don't know if it was the heat emitted from the horse's body, or the dust from the wheels into the nostrils, when the carriage walked in front of Xie Fan, there was a "sneeze", and Xie Fan sneezed loudly.

At this time, I heard a voice from inside the car, "Dongping, stop the car." ”

The curtain of the car was lifted, Xie Jue stretched out his head, and said to Xie Dongping, "I seem to have heard the sound of a young man sneezing just now, it should be due to the wind cold." ”

"Yes, sir, there was a young man on the side of the road just now, dressed quite thinly, but he didn't pay attention to his face. Xie Dongping replied.

Xie Jue sighed, "The young man who is in a hurry at this time is also a child of a poor family, you go and call me to give him the number and pulse, and see if there is any symptomatic medicine in our car." ”

Xie Dongping jumped off the wheel, walked back to Xie Fan along the way, looked at the thinly clothed young man, and sighed lightly, "Young man, I heard that you seemed to be suffering from the wind chill just now. My master has excellent medical skills, if you don't mind, I will give you a number and pulse, and see if there is any symptomatic medicine on our carriage, and you can take some back to take it. ”

Xie Fan heard the old man speak like this, and replied with a smile, "Thank you, old man!" While talking and thinking, this is not recognized, it doesn't matter if people give medicine and take it away, it's a big deal not to take it, if you don't go over, it doesn't seem natural enough.

He bowed to the old man and followed him to the car.

Xie Jue saw Xie Fan come to him, and was stunned for a moment, this young man's face seemed to feel a little familiar.

smiled at Xie Fan slightly, "Young man, I just heard that your voice is not right, the old man is slightly familiar with the technique of Qi Huang and gives you the number and pulse, you won't feel abrupt, right?" Xie Jue said very tactfully.

Xie Fan saw that people were willing to help, so he naturally thanked him, "Thank you, old man, for your help." ”

Xie Jue sat on the wheel of the car and took out a cushion from the car and put it on his lap. Waiting for Xie Fan to put his left wrist on, Xie Jue's three fingers of his right hand gently rested on the veins, carefully feeling the changes in the pulse.

After a while, Xie Jue raised his head and said, "It's just that I was cold, but fortunately I haven't entered it yet, and now I'm getting better soon after taking medicine." ”

He turned around and shouted to the car, "Madam, take two pills of the little scattered Han Pill in my pill bag to this young man." ”

Mrs. Xie handed out the medicine, and when the curtain of the car was lifted, she saw the young man standing in front of the car. I saw that the young man had red lips and white teeth, a broad forehead, a straight nose, two sword eyebrows inserted obliquely into his sideburns, and vaguely looked like his deceased son.

Mrs. Xie only felt a sour nose, and almost couldn't help but shed tears, looking at Xie Fan fixedly.

"Madame?" Xie Jue saw that Madame was stunned and shouted.

"Oh" Mrs. Xie was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly handed out the Xiao San Han Pill.

Xie Jue took the Xiaosan Han Pill, handed it to Xie Fan, and said casually, "I heard that the young man's accent is not a local, so he came here to look for relatives?"

Xie Fan listened to Xie Jue's question, and replied politely: "The kid's family is out of town, and he encountered a natural disaster, so he came to this Huoyun City with my uncle to take refuge, but unfortunately my uncle fell ill and died." ”

Xie Jue didn't say much after hearing this, and told Xie Fan: "These two pills are one at a time, and you can take them with warm water before meals." ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Xie Fan's thin clothes, sighed pityingly, turned back and shouted to the car: "Madam, bring my cotton clothes and put them on this young man." ”

Mrs. Xie handed out the cotton clothes, and Xie Jue took them and handed them to Xie Fan, "Young man, I see that you are wearing too little, you can avoid the cold with this dress." We still have something to do, so let's go first. ”

Xie Fan listened and thanked him.

The carriage continued to move on, and both men in the carriage were thinking about things separately and did not speak.

After a long time, Xie Jue sighed, "This young man came to Huoyun City alone, and I don't know how many difficulties he will encounter?"

Mrs. Xie listened to Xie Jue's words, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "This young man is not from Huoyun City?"

"Yes, I said that I came here to take refuge, but unfortunately I became an orphan. Xie Jue felt that Mrs. was asking strangely, the young man had clearly said it himself just now.

Mrs. Xie didn't say anything after hearing this, and after a long time, she sighed faintly and said to Xie Jue: "If you meet a teenager in the future, take more care of it." ”

"It's nature. But today I always feel strange, as if I have seen this young man somewhere. But obviously I haven't seen it, and the accent is not on our side. Xie Juewu was confused by the feeling he had when he first saw the boy just now.

"There is nothing wrong with the familiar feeling, this young man is not only young, but his eyebrows and eyes are a little similar to our son." Mrs. Xie sighed, "Hey, it's a pity that I thought it was a child of someone in the city at the time, but I didn't think it was an orphan who came to take refuge." ”

Xie Jue heard Mrs. say this, and suddenly realized that she looked more like her son, which is why she didn't hear the young man's words, she should have thought of her son, and she was stupid for a while.

Mrs. Xie was silent for a long time, before she sighed and said quietly, "I knew that I was an orphan, so I took it to our house, and there were not many people to eat." ”

She lifted the curtain and looked back, but unfortunately there was no one on the official road, and the young man should have entered the city.

"Madame is worried about the boy. Now that he has entered the city, there is always an opportunity to meet him. When the matter of recruiting alchemy disciples during this period of time is over, Dongping and I will travel all over Huoyun City and find the boy as well. Mrs. Xie Jue comforted.

Until she set up a sacrifice for her son, burned the paper money, and returned home, Mrs. Xie still remembered the young man she met today.

It's a pity that I haven't met again since I returned to the city.
