Chapter 42:

Lou Chun’s life is actually very difficult. The world is too harsh on women. She almost used a desperate attitude to rush through the hurdles after another, exhausting her efforts, and only then did she save her family, herself, and her family. Love children. Get the desired result, in exchange for a solid heart. The deep wrinkles and the frowning of the eyebrows became rigid and serious. On weekdays, even the children at home are always trembling and cautious when they see her, and they dare not breathe.
But here, in the sun and snow, she bent over, holding the golden exquisite ball in her hand, facing the little girl in front of her, her lifelong hard armor finally melted, revealing gentleness Smile.
Her eyebrows stretched, the lines of her entire face softened, and even the wrinkles around her eyes seemed warm, as if she had returned to her childhood without any worries.
The huge shadows behind the locust tree and the moths in the sky were ignored by her. She was completely relaxed and stretched, unsuspecting, only the pale and weird girl in her eyes, wrinkled fingers holding the time Jin Qiu, just like before, patiently coaxed her close friends.
"Come and play, ah, I have learned many new tricks."
"I won't lose to you again this time."
The misogynist didn't look at her when she was talking, just staring at the golden ball. Her expression was blank, making it hard to see whether the gust of wind and rain was hidden under that face.
Yuan Xiang'er approached cautiously, keeping a very close distance with them. She was always on guard, watching the misogynistic reaction closely. She didn't expect that Old Madam Lou would go straight forward like this unprepared. She was not so close at all, and she and Nan He were a little caught off guard.
The misogyny is clearly such a powerful and dangerous existence, Yuan Xianger can't be sure whether this cold monster still has the softness of the year.
She was ready to start the Pisces formation at any time, for fear that the misogynistic would slap Old Lady Lou to death with an unhappy slap.
Then, she saw her mouth open slightly on her misogynistic expressionless face.
"Since I came here specially, I will reluctantly play with you once."
Her words seemed blunt and awkward, and she was too straightforward to pretend, like the words spoken by someone who is very bad at socializing, naive to the level of laughter.
But Yuan Xianger really laughed, happy from the bottom of her heart.
Of the two of them, one has not forgotten the promise of many years, and the heart of the other is still the same.
This is really the best ending.
Yuan Xianger suddenly rejoiced that she picked up the golden ball within a single thought.
At this moment, she understood Lou Chun's trust and fearlessness in misogyny. It was the emotion that came out of the true familiarity and understanding of each other, and it was not changed by time and the opinions of outsiders. It's like she was to Xiao Nan and Wu Yuan. Even in the past fifty or one hundred years, she was able to walk forward without any complaints.
The white-haired old man was like a child, kicking the golden exquisite ball awkwardly on the snow, and the girl in the brown short robe flew around her like a dancing moth.
"Xiang'er, Nanhe, come and play with the old man, right?"
"It's okay, let's join in the fun, and Wu Yuan will come." Yuan Xianger rolled up her sleeves and went up. "Xiao Nan, what are you doing in a daze, come here."
"Brother Nan, are you not? This is very simple. Come and I will teach you." Wu Yuan went down in a hurry, forgetting that she said that misogyny is terrible and will never play with her again. if.
The misogynist saw Nan He and remembered the last time she lost to this "underage" guy, her little eyebrows were tightly together.
"Little wolf cub, there was no winner or loser last time. This time I use Linglong Ball to let you know how it feels to lose."
Nan He, who was disdainful of playing with these people, finally rolled up his sleeves, "Although I don't want to bully you, it's a pity that our Sirius tribe has never learned the word admit defeat since we were young."
Thousands of trees and snow, Wanren Mountain, empty mountains and snow ridges that have been silent for many years, were once covered with joy.
Until the sun turned to the west, the group stopped playing and rested. Lou Chun panted and sat on the tree roots.
"Old man, it's still not as good as your young people."
The misogynist stood beside her and glanced at her,
"Oh," Lou Chun raised his head and held the misogynistic little hand, "I made you wait for a long time? I'm sorry."
The misogynistic turned to look at the locust tree without speaking.
"We should go back, I guess shopkeeper Lou is waiting at the foot of the mountain in a hurry." Yuan Xianger had to interrupt them.
The joyous atmosphere stagnated for an instant, and Yuan Xianger finally read out her depressed and lonely emotion from the misogynistic face with no expression.
She stood under the locust tree for a while, blinked, lowered her head and slowly took the golden ball into her arms.
"I will send you." She said.
Lou Xian'en stood at the foot of Sirius Mountain with his back on his back and turned around.
"It's going to fall as soon as I see it, why my mother hasn't come out yet, no, even if my mother scolds me, I have to go up the mountain to see."
The guide who led them shook his head again and again, "My boss, you can't go, our customs here, once it gets dark, you can't go inside."
Lou Xian said anxiously: "How can I do it, my mother is still in the mountains. Let's do this, I will add money to you, you must lead us in to find it."
The guide squatted on the side of the road, smoking a dry cigarette, and refused to move halfway, "My boss, it’s not that I don’t want to earn your money. But no matter how much this money is, it has to be life-saving, right? We locals all know that this mountain is deep In the land of ghosts and gods, when the time comes at sunset, the boundaries between humans and gods are blurred, and we mortals cannot move easily."
There was an endless arguing here, and a few people slowly walked down the intestinal path in the distance.
The afterglow of the setting sun draped over them, and one of them walked down step by step with his hair like snow on his temples, holding a cane, holding a little girl by his hand.
Lou Xianen was overjoyed seeing his mother return safely and stepped forward to greet her.
His mother walked in the snow-capped mountains for a day and not only was safe and sound, she was also very energetic, and the heart that made him hang high all day finally fell.
It's just that the little girl held by his mother made him feel a little hairy.
At about ten years old, with slick eyes and white face, he stepped on the snow with his bare feet, holding his mother's hand in one hand, and looking at him blankly.
As one of the few people who knew the secrets of his mother, Lou Xianen understood that this was probably the benefactor that his mother had missed all his life. Fifty or sixty years have passed, and she still looks like a child from her mother. Although he knew he was a benefactor, he still unaware of such non-human existence.
The picture of the Sirius Mountain playing ball hanging in the hall at home is exactly what this one looks like. The couplet written by the mother herself, "The universe is a hundred essence, the world is exquisite, the ingenuity is unique, the temple is not forgotten", as well as the title of his own name, are reminding not to forget this who once helped his mother. Kindness.
Lou Xian'en remembered her mother's life since she was a child, resisted the fear in her heart, and gave a shuddering salute.
"Mother...Mother, is this the benefactor?" He stammered in thanks, "I have seen the benefactor."
Lou Chun introduced to the misogynistic, "Oh, this is my eldest son."
She pointed to the daughter-in-law who followed up from behind, "That's the eldest daughter-in-law. There are still a few children in the family. I haven't come this time. I should let you see if I get the chance."
The misogynistic swarthy eyes looked at the person in front of her,
Those who were saluting her were A Chun's family, lively, full of descendants, fireworks in the world, and a long distance away from herself.
"Mother, Mother, it's not early, should we go back?" The daughter-in-law was more courageous than the son, and cautiously poked her head out from behind the eldest son and said tentatively.
"You go back first, I plan to live in Awei." Lou Chun suddenly announced.
The misogynistic turned her little face around and looked up at Lou Chun beside her. She blinked, and the little face suddenly became light.
"I said before that I have to play with you well, but I couldn't do it." Lou Chun looked down at the girl who was younger than his granddaughter. "Now that the child can be alone, the family affairs are gone, and I am also around. There will be no more years left, so I will spend it all with you."
"Mother, how can this be done? Never! The conditions in this barren mountain and snowy ridge are difficult, how can you live?" Lou Xianen hurriedly knelt down on his mother's knee, "If the mother stays here, how can the son be born, and how often? Ask your mother for advice?"
"Get up, look like what you look like." Lou Chun was very majestic in front of his son, "I have worked hard for the Lou family all my life, and I have eaten all the hardships that should be eaten. The remaining time, let me Live the way I want to live."
"I lived in this place when I was ten years old. Now I don't have to worry about you. I only live near the foot of the mountain. If you care about it, come visit occasionally."
The Linglong golden ball came to an end with an unexpected ending.
Yuan Xianger returned to her home in Queqiu Town. I had a meal of fragrant spicy noodles cooked by my wife, and took a hot bath comfortably. I was crooked in the room where my wife had reunited after a long time.
She was resting on Yun Niang's knees, and while reaching out to take the newly made jujube cake on the little table, she talked to Yun Niang about all the experiences along the way.
"You have come across a lot of interesting things after you walked this way. It seems that you should be asked to go out more." Yun Niang sat on the Luohan bed and wiped her wet hair with a big towel. "That person Mrs. Lou is really an admirable person."
"Yeah, this is different from what I thought. Who would have thought that she didn't want a house full of gold and jade, but would like to live on Tianlang Mountain." Yuan Xianger thought that Lou Xian'en and his wife could not be stunned by their mother in the end. When they left, the couple The two hurriedly purchased furniture and bedding nearby, saying that they would send it to the mountain.
"It's frightening to grow old, although Han Hua hasn't changed his mind. As a woman, it's rare to be as thorough and brave as her. It's not a waste of time to have a friendship with her."
Yuan Xiang'er was eating the jujube cake and muttered vaguely, "I always feel a little regretful."
Looking out from the window here, you can just see the banyan tree in the yard.
There was a small bag in Wu Yuan's mouth. It was a small dried fish brought back from Dingzhou, and it threw it in front of Jin Yu's stilted log cabin.
The door opened, and a pair of small hands put the bag of gifts in. After a while, the little hand stretched out the door again, holding out a pile of jujube cakes-although Jin Yu could not be seen, Yunniang heard Yuan Xiang'er talk about his existence, and every time she made fresh food, she would put it in front of the cabin. Last copy.
Wu Yuan sneered, "Who is so rare about this?"
After all, I took two pieces away and rushed to the branches to eat.
"It's not a pity," Yun Niang wiped Yuan Xiang'er's hair, and slowly combed her long hair with a horn comb. "The happiness in the world comes from the word'Unfortunate'. It is precisely because of this. Things that you want to cherish, the passing of time has meaning."
Does it matter even if they are of different races? Yuan Xiang'er looked at the stone table under the big tree outside the window. There was a small silver wolf on it, sitting on it and looking up at the moon.
The shards of moonlight starlight sprinkled from the sky and circulated little by little in his body.
It turns out that Master is practising under the tree every day, and Master is watching him from this position.
Yuan Xiang'er once felt that people in this era were pedantic and conservative, not as open-minded as themselves. Thinking about it now, I suddenly discovered that they are much more casual and romantic than themselves.
The author has something to say: Some settings are roughly like this, and they will be gradually clicked later.
1. Even if the monsters that seldom come into contact with humans, even if their appearance changes without flaws, most of the details such as clothes and expressions are very inept. For example, misogyny and Nanhe are all wearing ragged robes and noodle stalls. But the demons who have been in the human world for a long time, or have lived with their families since childhood, have been carefully taken care of, such as Ah Di, Wu Yuan and Jin Yu. Their clothes are very delicate and their expressions are more.
2. After the demon is transformed, you can choose to make it visible or invisible, but the little demon humans who are not completely transformed are invisible, such as Jinyu and the original little fox, little weasel, and little rabbit.
3. From the beginning, Wuyuan has a very good combat ability, and his skills are in other areas. (The most important thing is to be cute)
