Chapter 251 You shouldn't be there   "Sending someone off?"   Feng Ruoqian was stunned, and then when she thought of what Hua Xuan had just said, she suddenly realized, "Miss, do you know Ah Xuan?"   "We just met not long ago." Tang Xi felt a little guilty.   Feng Ruoqian heard the words, looked back at Hua Xuan, then turned to look at Tang Xi and Xie Cheng, and hesitated, "How about we talk in the private room on the third floor?"   Xie Cheng nodded, "Yes."   In the private room on the third floor, Tang Xi looked at Hua Xuan who had taken off the mask, and was very curious. When she saw that evil face again, she raised her eyebrows, "So, this is your true appearance?"   Hua Xuan nodded, "Yes."   When Xie Cheng said it before, she was a little unconvinced, and it turned out to be true.   "Thank you, City Lord, if I have offended you in the past, please don't bother it anymore."   Xie Cheng understood Hua Xuan's inexplicable words, but Feng Ruoqian and Tang Xi didn't understand.   Xie Cheng said indifferently, "I tend to hold grudges, so Mr. Hua should not do it again in the future."   "Ah Xuan, have you ever offended City Lord Xie?" Feng Ruoqian asked curiously.   Tang Xi frowned slightly. This scene was not right. It was different from what she imagined.   How could the gentle and elegant Feng Ruoqian sit next to Hua Xuan like a little white rabbit? This is not right!   Hua Xuan smiled gently and explained in a low voice, "I accidentally kidnapped City Lord Xie's sweetheart before."   "Sweetheart?" Feng Ruoqian subconsciously looked at Tang Xi, but saw that she was looking at him and Hua Xuan, frowning and puzzled.   "Girl, is there something wrong?" He asked softly.   "Xixi, what's wrong?" Xie Cheng was also a little confused.   But she murmured, "This is not right, how could Hua Xuan be the top?"   Hua Xuan was stunned, "What's wrong with me? What top?"   Tang Xi came back to her senses, and was stunned for a moment, then blinked, and said in horror, "What did I say just now?"   "You said, how could I be the top?" Hua Xuan raised his eyebrows, "What top?"   "No, nothing, hehe... hehe... I was talking to myself." Tang Xi laughed awkwardly.   Xie Cheng seemed to remember something, and a faint smile flashed in his eyes. He looked at Hua Xuan and said in a low voice, "Probably, I think... you shouldn't be on top."   Tang Xi's breathing stagnated, her eyes widened, and she stared at Xie Cheng in disbelief.   Could this guy also be a time traveler like her? Otherwise, how could he understand this?   "My Lord?" Feng Ruoqian was suspicious, "What do you mean?"   Tang Xi waved her hands awkwardly, and said with a smile: "No, it's meaningless!"   Hua Xuan looked at her with a smile and said: "You know a lot, have you really only lived for thirteen years?"   "More than thirteen." Tang Xi said seriously: "To be honest, I may have lived for thousands of years. The time is so long that even I can't remember it."   Hua Xuan smiled evilly, "I can't tell that you are still an old monster?"   "No!" Tang Xi said: "I was originally a god in the sky, and I was demoted to the mortal world because I did something wrong."   "Puchi——" Feng Ruoqian chuckled, "I didn't expect that the girl is also a humorous person. No wonder City Lord Xie treats you differently."   Hearing this, Xie Cheng looked at Tang Xi with doting in his eyes and a faint smile on his lips.   Seeing that the topic was finally changed, Tang Xi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.   Hua Xuan pondered for a while, and said: "Come to think of it, I still don't know what the little beauty's name is. Since we are close friends regardless of age, how can I not introduce you properly?"   "Tang Xi, Tang for Tangtu, Xi for stream."   "Tang Xi?" Hua Xuan nodded, "What a good name! My name is Hua Xuan, Hua for fresh flowers, Xuan for entrance. From now on, I will call you Xiaoxi, how about that?"   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 252 Because he is older than me   "Friendship regardless of age? Xiaoxi?" Xie Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly.   Feng Ruoqian didn't think there was anything wrong. After all, no one knew better than him who lived in Hua Xuan's heart.   Hua Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "What's wrong? Does City Lord Xie have any objection?"   "No."   Although he said so, his eyes were staring at Tang Xi, as if he was a little aggrieved.   Tang Xi explained with an innocent look on his face: "Well... this friendship regardless of age is because Hua Xuan is older than me, but he insisted on being friends with me. He is kind enough to be friends with me, and he also said that he would give me free tea from Linhe Teahouse for life. I can't refuse, right?"   Hua Xuan:...   Feng Ruoqian smiled lightly, "Ah Xuan, don't mind. To Miss Tang, we are indeed a little older."   "I don't mind. I just didn't expect that there would be a day when this young master would be disliked for being old." After Hua Xuan said this, he shook his head pretending to be helpless.   Tang Xi kindly comforted him, "It's okay. Although you are a little older, you look very young."   "Really?" Hua Xuan touched his face and frowned slightly, "I've been wearing too many masks recently, and my skin is not very good."   Speaking of masks, Tang Xi's eyes lit up, "Where are those masks of yours made? Can you make a few for me?"   "You mean these masks?" Hua Xuan smiled evilly, "I made them, one hundred thousand taels each."   "One hundred thousand taels?" Tang Xi's expression was embarrassed, "So expensive?"   Her entire family assets were not enough to make one.   "How else do you think I lost my money?" Hua Xuan sighed lightly, "I originally had one hundred thousand taels on me, but I spent all the money on buying materials to make a mask for City Lord Xie."   "Ah Xuan, why are you making a mask for City Lord Xie?" Feng Ruoqian was puzzled.   "What?" Hua Xuan raised his eyebrows, "It's this guy who blocked my way to steal the hundred-year-old ginseng and suspected that I was the rapist. Originally, I wanted to pretend to be him, and then do some small bad things, and then lure him over, and then resolve the misunderstanding. Who knew that I accidentally ran into Xiaoxi who pretended to be Miss Zhuo to lead me out."   "By the way, how did you know that I was not Miss Zhuo at that time?" Tang Xi was really curious. Hua   Xuan said: "I have been in Hanshui City for quite some time. You often follow City Lord Xie. Naturally, I have seen you. Originally, I couldn't tell. However, I accidentally bumped into you and found out that you are not Miss Zhuo."   "I see." Tang Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, "I didn't expect you to pay so much attention to our city lord."   Hua Xuan smiled and said: "He is a big shot in Hanshui City. Every time he appears, he can attract everyone's attention. I think it's hard not to pay attention to him."   Tang Xi agreed, "That's right."   "Xixi."   "Huh?"   Xie Cheng suddenly called her, and Tang Xi looked up with some confusion.   He said calmly, "I'm afraid that Master Feng and Mr. Hua have something to say. Let's leave first."   Hearing this, Tang Xi hurriedly stood up and said, "Yes, you haven't seen each other for many years. I think you have a lot to say. We won't delay you from reminiscing about the past." Feng   Ruoqian wanted to say that there was no hurry, but Hua Xuan said before him, "Then I   won't see you off. Take care, both of you." He really had a lot of things to ask Feng Ruoqian, and a lot of things to say to her. With Tang Xi and the others around, it was really inconvenient to speak.   "Goodbye." Xie Cheng nodded slightly to the two of them.   Feng Ruoqian smiled slightly, "Goodbye!" Tang   Xi smiled at the two of them, and then pulled Xie Cheng out of the private room.   After leaving the Linhe Teahouse, Xie Cheng said, "I heard that you took Xiaoxiao to the college today."   "Yes!" Tang Xi nodded and said, "Tomorrow morning, I will send him to the college to study."   "Why didn't you notify me after he entered the city?"   If Kong Yue hadn't sent someone to notify him, he would probably still not know that she entered the city today.   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 253 I'll go with you   "I was thinking that I would find you after I've dealt with Ah Xiao's problem." Tang Xi pursed her lips and said innocently, "After all, I have to go to the city tomorrow."   Xie Cheng sighed almost inaudibly, held the fair and slender little hand and said, "Tomorrow is tomorrow, today is today, I want to see you today, and I want to see you tomorrow, too. I want to see you all the time, do you understand?"   "I understand!" Tang Xi lowered her head in shame, like a child who had done something wrong, with an obedient look.   Xie Cheng smiled. The little girl was still young and might not understand his thoughts very well. Anyway, there was a long way to go, and one day, she would understand.   However, Xie Cheng had no idea that Tang Xi understood everything. It was just the first time she liked someone. Even though she wanted to see him, she felt that he was the lord of the city and was busy with official duties, and she didn't want him to delay his business because of her.   She looked up at him and said, "There is something I wanted to tell you after I send Xiao to the academy tomorrow, but since we met, I'll tell you in advance."   "What is it?" Xie Cheng was suspicious.   Tang Xi said, "That's right, I may have to leave Hanshui City for a while."   "Where to?"   "Back to Beisang City."   Back to Beisang City? Could it be that she felt that she couldn't get used to living in Hanshui City, so she wanted to move back?   Thinking of this, Xie Cheng tightened his grip on her hand and said nervously, "What are you going back for?"   Noticing his nervousness, Tang Xi hurriedly explained, "My father said that my aunt wrote to me a few months ago, saying that she would come back to Gaopo Village to see us. My father was afraid that my aunt didn't know about the severe drought in Luobian Town, and was afraid that she wouldn't see anyone when she came. So, he wanted to go back and take a look. By the way, go to Lianhua Town to see my grandparents."   Xie Cheng was relieved after hearing this, "I'll go with you!"   "You'll go with me?" Tang Xi was stunned, "Then what about the government office..."   "Mo Yi is at the government office, nothing will happen."   "Okay then!" Tang Xi covered the back of his hand with her other hand, looked at him with a smile and said, "The day after tomorrow, I'll wait for you at the city gate."   Xie Cheng looked at her little hand covering the back of his hand, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and nodded, "Okay!"   In the end, Tang Xiao and Tang Zhaodi's wish to eat Xie's stewed pork elbow was fulfilled.   Tang Xi originally wanted to go back to the farm directly after the shop picked up the two of them, but unfortunately, Xie Cheng would not allow it and insisted that she go to the Xie Mansion with him.   Xie Cheng's undisguised doting eyes, and Tang Xi's attitude of not refusing even though she was a little shy, made the two elders of the Xie Mansion very happy.   "Come on, come on, eat more, children!" Old Master Xie kept picking up dishes for Tang Zhaodi and Tang Xiao.   "Thank you, Grandpa!" The two smiled and kept thanking him.   Old Lady Xie looked at the scene on the table and couldn't help but smile with relief, "We haven't seen children on our dining table for many years."   "Yes!" Old Master Xie looked at Xie Cheng and Tang Xi with a vague look and said, "I hope that in a few years, we can see children on our dining table every day."   "Ahem--"   Tang Xi didn't swallow a mouthful of rice, and it got stuck in his throat, causing him to cough.   Old Master Xie was startled and hurriedly ordered Xie Cheng: "Quick, quick, give her some tea."   When he finished his order, the tea was already at Tang Xi's lips.   After drinking the tea and catching his breath, Tang Xi apologized awkwardly.   Old Lady Xie glared at Old Master Xie, then smiled at Tang Xi kindly and said: "Good child, eat slowly, don't be in a hurry, okay?"   Tang Xi nodded awkwardly, "Thank you, old lady!"   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 254 Heavy Rain   The next morning.   Tang Xi had just sent Tang Xiao to the academy and was about to send Tang Zhaodi home when the sky suddenly changed.   After a while, there was a strong wind with thunder and lightning.   Nanny Qin threw down the firewood in her hand and shouted to Su Xiaoguo, "Xiaoguo, go to the yard to collect the clothes. I'll go collect the dried vegetables."   Su Xiaoguo responded and ran out of the kitchen.   Tang Xi asked Kong Yue to drive the carriage back, and she hurriedly led Tang Zhaodi back to the house.   The wind blew the hay in the yard up, and the big roc made by Tang Xi was also blown to the point of falling.   Those tranquilizing grasses have begun to break through the soil and have grown a lot. If this shed collapses and the heavy rain hits it again, I'm afraid they will all be useless.   "Why is the wind so strong all of a sudden?" Tang Zheng ran back from the backyard with a basket in his hand.   "What is grandpa doing in the backyard?" Tang Zhaodi asked.   "Grandpa, go feed the chickens." Tang Zheng frowned and said, "With such a strong wind, I wonder if the newly built chicken coop will be blown down."   Perhaps because they were fed with well water mixed with spiritual spring water, the chickens grew up a little fast. Both Qin Ma and Tang Zheng thought it was because they were fed frequently, and did not suspect the spiritual spring.   "Ah Xi, I'm afraid your shed can't hold up."   As soon as Tang Zheng finished speaking, he heard a few bangs on the shed, and the painted cloth was blown away, leaving only the bamboo mat. Another gust of wind came, and the bamboo mat was also overturned. Then, heavy rain fell like beans.   Tang Xi: Her tranquilizing grass...   "Oh, this rain came suddenly, and there was no sign." Qin Ma, who had collected the dried vegetables, stood under the eaves and panted.   The weather was already cold, and the heavy rain made it even colder.   Tang Xi couldn't help shivering, and said to Tang Zhaodi: "Zhaodi, let's wait until the rain stops before going back, okay?"   "Okay!" Tang Zhaodi nodded obediently.   "Good girl!" Tang Xi took her back to the room, and then walked out. Looking at the mist outside, he couldn't help but frowned.   "Axi, go back to the house quickly." Tang Zheng said: "It's very cold outside, be careful not to catch a cold."   Tang Xi nodded slightly, "I know."   She looked at the place where only a few bamboo poles were left standing, which were faintly visible in the lightning, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.   I hope the rain will stop soon, otherwise, how can she set off for Beisang City tomorrow?   She has an appointment with Xie Cheng to meet at the city gate tomorrow morning.   The heavy rain dripped on the ground, and the splashing water wet the corners of her skirt, but she seemed not to notice it, still frowning and looking into the distance, standing there motionless.   "Axi, why don't you go back to the house? Your clothes are all wet."   Su Xiaoguo, who was busy running back and forth, saw her like this and hurriedly reminded her.   Tang Xi came back to her senses and looked down at the hem of her skirt. Sure enough, most of it was wet.   She looked up at Su Xiaoguo and smiled, "Sister Xiaoguo, don't be busy anymore. It's so windy, you should go back to the house to hide."   "Okay," Su Xiaoguo wiped the rain off her face, and while there was no lightning, she rushed into the rain and ran towards the kitchen.   Tang Xi retracted her gaze, walked towards her room, closed the door, and then entered the space.   Unlike the violent storm outside, the space was quiet, with only a slight breeze blowing.   "Moo--"   The cow, which was originally eating grass with its head down, suddenly looked up and called to her.   Tang Xi was stunned and said with a smile, "Is this cow saying hello to me?"   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 255 The Cow That Became a Spirit   System: "It's just saying hello to you."   "Really?" Tang Xi walked over in surprise, but the cow suddenly looked up and called out again, as if answering her question.   Tang Xi was shocked, "Oh, is this cow a spirit?"   System: "It has been in the space for a long time, absorbing spiritual energy, so it's nothing to be surprised if it becomes a spirit."   Tang Xi raised her eyebrows, "So it wouldn't be strange if it could speak human language one day?"   System: "That's impossible! At most, it is psychic. If it speaks one day, not only will you go crazy, but this system will also go crazy."   "Oh~" Tang Xi laughed, "It seems that it's not only this cow that has become a spirit, but even the system has become a spirit."   It's not as mechanical as before, and it seems to have a little popularity.   System: "It's all growing. This system has been communicating with humans for a long time, so it's normal for it to be popular."   Tang Xi was happy to hear this.   She went back to the house to get a sickle and came out to continue cutting the Wanling Flowers.   The shop has been decorated almost completely now, and it should be open when she returns from Beisang City.   Now, the Wanlinghua cream she made has not been sold yet. After counting, there are nearly two hundred boxes in stock.   After leaving Xie Mansion, Xie Ling also returned to the capital. No one introduced her to business. Now her financial situation is almost more than she earns.   Fortunately, she made a lot of money on the last trip to the capital, and now she has sufficient funds. Otherwise, life will definitely be difficult.   As soon as the Wanlinghua was harvested, the cow that was still eating grass walked to the plow.   Tang Xi smiled and touched its head, then put the plow on it. The cow shook its tail and started to plow the land.   Because the things in the space cannot be taken out for the time being, all kinds of vegetables and food are piled up on the ground. Fortunately, it will not rain here, otherwise, there will be no place to put so many things. Once it rains, it is estimated that they will be like the Ningshen grass planted outside, all of which will be scrapped.   Tang Xi collected this and that, and was busy for a long time before going to the bathroom on the second floor of the cabin to wash.   After changing into clean clothes, she sat in front of the dressing table, looking at the face that was still a little immature but had become more and more delicate, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.   This appearance is beyond reproach, but this figure...   She looked at her chest and shook her head, too flat, she still needs to grow.   But think about it, she is only thirteen years old, thirteen... In her previous life, she had just entered junior high school, carefree, and only thought about studying and playing. Sure enough   , the times are different, and the thoughts are different. The children here are very mature at the age of eight or nine.   But think about it, some of them are even mothers at the age of fifteen, and it's nothing strange to be precocious.   Picking up the feeling in her heart, Tang Xi got up and went downstairs. After walking around for a while, she left the space.   The rain was still falling, and it seemed that there was no intention to stop. It was still broad daylight, but it was dim as if it was already late at night.   Tang Xi sighed softly, lay on the couch with her eyes closed, listened to the sound of raindrops hitting the tiles on the roof, and fell asleep after a while.   However, she had just fallen asleep for a while when a loud thunderclap suddenly struck, shaking the whole house, and Tang Xi was also awakened.   "Aunt Xi, are you there?"   Tang Zhaodi knocked on the door, and there was a faint cry in the rain.   Tang Xi hurriedly got up from the bed and walked over to open the door. "Zhaodi, what's wrong?"   Tang Zhaodi sobbed and said, "Aunt Xi, I'm afraid of thunder!"   "Don't be afraid, Aunt Xi is here, come in!"   Tang Xi carried the person in from the threshold and quickly closed the door.   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 256 Return to Luobian Town (1)   After coaxing Tang Zhaodi to sleep, it was already the afternoon, and the heavy rain was still falling. With the strong wind coming in gusts, fortunately, the thunder had gradually subsided.   Thinking of the appointment tomorrow, Tang Xi couldn't help but feel a little distressed.   This violent storm lasted until after dinner, when it finally subsided a little.   Tang Xi held up an oil-paper umbrella and a lantern and hurried to check the tranquilizing grass. Unfortunately, the roots of the newly grown seedlings were turned out by the rain, and some were even washed away.   It seems that we can only wait until the beginning of next spring to sow.   The next day, Tang Xi thought about it. In order to avoid trouble, she decided to stay in the manor and wait, and let Kong Yue send Tang Zhaodi back to Zhongwang Village.   She really didn't want to see the faces of Yang's mother and daughter, nor did she want to run into Liu's Jiang Ya mother and daughter.   Kong Yue came back not long after she left. She looked at Tang Xi and said, "Miss, there is something I want to apologize to you for."   "Apologize?" Tang Xi was puzzled. "Why?"   After Kong Yue told her what happened, Tang Xi suddenly smiled.   It turned out that after Kong Yue sent Tang Zhaodi back, Yang and Tang Shufang thought that Tang Xi had given Tang Zhaodi something good, so they searched Tang Zhaodi from head to toe. After finding nothing, the two accused her of being stingy. Tang Zhaodi spoke up for Tang Xi and was almost slapped by Yang. It was Kong Yue who reacted and stopped her. When   the mother and daughter saw her stop them, they began to insult her and Tang Xi, saying that the master was a bitch and the dog was also a bitch. Kong Yue was so angry that she dislocated their jaws and warned them again. Yang's mother and daughter were shocked and terrified, and they were so scared that they sat on the ground, their souls were out of control.   Tang Xi did not blame them but praised them: "You did a good job. It would be better if you broke their legs."   She knew this would happen, so she did not give Tang Zhaodi anything. She had already told Tang Zhaodi that if she wanted to eat something, she could come to the farm and ask Nanny Qin to cook for her.   "Then I will break their legs next time I see them."   Seeing that Kong Yue was serious, Tang Xi could not help but chuckle.   Tang Xi took the bag and got on the carriage, saying with a smile: "Let's go to the city gate."   Although the rain stopped today, the city was still covered with dark clouds. Looking up, it seemed as if some huge monster was about to break through the clouds.   It seemed that there would be another heavy rain that day.   When the two arrived at the city gate, they saw Xie Cheng and Mo Yi waiting in front of a carriage.   Seeing them coming, Mo Yi said to Xie Cheng, "Master, take care on the way!"   "Yes." Xie Cheng nodded lightly, "You go back to the city first."   Mo Yi nodded, and he nodded slightly to Tang Xi and Kong Yue who had just got off the carriage, then got on the carriage again and turned back into the city.   Xie Cheng strode towards Tang Xi, who smiled at him, "Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time."   "No problem." Xie Cheng stood up to her with his bag on his back and curled his lips slightly, "Let's go."   "Yes!"   Tang Xi smiled and nodded, Xie Cheng helped her get on the carriage, and followed him.   After the two of them sat properly, Kong Yue drove the carriage away from the city gate.   A month later, Beisang City.   Beisang City, which was more than nine months old, began to enter a cool period.   In order to avoid missing Tang Xiaohe, after entering Beisang City, Tang Xi and Xie Cheng did not visit Ji Changan and Sun Wei, but bought dry food and went directly to Luobian Town.   In the blink of an eye, it was already October. On the road leading to Luobian Town, a carriage was moving quickly. The road was empty. Occasionally, one or two silent black crows would rest on the bare trees. The surroundings were terrifyingly quiet.   The corpses that had been piled on the road were now gone. I didn't know whether they had been dealt with by the people sent by the Ji Mansion, or buried by the sand.   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 257 Return to Luobian Town (2)   Unlike the cool weather in Beisang City, the sunshine in Luobian Town is extremely strong, making everyone a little restless.   "It's October now, and Hanshui City is probably already covered in snow. Why is it still so hot here?" Kong Yue drank a sip of water, and sweat broke out on her forehead due to the heat.   Tang Xi smiled bitterly, "After all, this is a place with severe drought."   "Drink some water." Xie Cheng took the water bag, unscrewed the lid and handed it to her.   Tang Xi took it and drank two sips, then screwed the lid on and put it aside, and picked up the fan to fan her.   "You fan yourself too."   Seeing that he was already sweating profusely from the heat, Tang Xi couldn't bear to remind him.   He said in a calm voice, "It's okay, this little heat is nothing."   "How about taking a break first?"   It happened that the carriage drove into Luobian Town at this time. The town, which was once prosperous, was now deserted.   The lanterns on the town gate and even on the roof were covered with sand and dust. The door plaques and the tables and chairs on the stalls were all tilted.   It has only been less than half a year, and it has become so desolate. Natural disasters are really scary.   "Let's find a place to rest for a while." Xie Cheng ordered.   "Yes!" Kong Yue agreed and finally chose to stop in front of a closed restaurant.   The tall buildings in Sancheng blocked the hot sun and left a shade.   The three of them rested on the steps of the restaurant for about a quarter of an hour and then continued to Gaopo Village.   After entering Gaopo Village, they saw a scene that surprised them.   The moss that should have died was still green. Moreover, the path was solid and there was no sign of being covered by sand. There was a faint green on both sides of the road. When they got closer, they saw that the dead grass had sprouted.   "It should have rained here not long ago, but it shouldn't be heavy." Xie Cheng concluded.   Kong Yue asked in confusion, "Girl, there seems to be no one here."   All the way in, except for the mud and thatched houses and tiled houses covered with cobwebs, there was almost no ghost.   "Where is your home?" Xie Cheng asked.   "It's just in front." Tang Xi followed her memory and walked into a shabby small courtyard.   "Is it here?" Xie Cheng looked around and asked in a low voice.   Tang Xi nodded, looking at the bare tree, the corners of her lips curled up slightly.   In her memory, when the Mo family was still there, they often taught the original owner to read and write under this tree.   Tang Xi walked to the door and pushed it open. A cloud of dust floated out instantly, and the stench of dead mice in the house also came out.   She covered her nose, hurriedly closed the door, walked to the side and vomited several times, and then she recovered.   Xie Cheng smiled lightly and looked elsewhere again.   Kong Yue walked around and saw that there was still no one, so she came back to tell the two.   Tang Xi said, "Maybe they haven't come yet, or maybe they came but didn't see them and went back, or maybe they heard the news about the severe drought in Luobian Town."   "Do you want to go to your aunt's place?" Xie Cheng asked.   Tang Xi smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry for making you run around with me and suffer!"   "No!" Xie Cheng looked at her and smiled faintly, "As long as you are here, everything is sweet."   He was even glad that he came with her, otherwise, he would feel bad to let the little girl suffer so much alone.   Kong Yue raised his eyebrows and smiled, and wisely went back to the carriage to wait.   Tang Xi raised her eyes to look at Xie Cheng and smiled, "Thank you, Acheng."   "Thank you for what?" Xie Cheng smiled and raised his hand to rub her head, but she lowered her head and dodged.   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 258 Staying in a Hotel   "I haven't washed my hair for a month."   Xie Cheng paused for a moment, and then he realized that she was indeed a little dusty. He thought that he was not much better.   He smiled slightly, but still held her, and rubbed her head a few times.   "What are you doing?" Tang Xi glared at him and smoothed the messed hair with her fingers.   Even so, it was still a little messy. Xie Cheng chuckled, as if he was very satisfied with his prank.   Tang Xi couldn't help glaring at him again, and then said: "Let's go, Yanhai Town is a month's journey away from here."   "Okay!"   Xie Cheng smiled and caught up with her, holding her hand and walking towards the carriage.   Half a month later, in a small town called Luoyue Town, a man and two women stopped in front of an inn in a carriage.   The man was tall and thin, and his skin was darker than the two women beside him, as if he had been exposed to the sun for too long.   On the contrary, although the two women's hair and clothes were a little messy, their faces were unusually white and clean. These three people were Xie Cheng, Tang Xi and Kong Yue.   The reason why the two of them were able to maintain their appearance was thanks to Tang Xi's Wanling Flower Cream. She originally wanted to help Xie Cheng apply it, but Xie Cheng refused to say anything, saying that it was a girl's thing and it was not right for a man like him to use it.   Tang Xi did not force her, and only used the Wanling Flower Cream with Kong Yue.   When the innkeeper saw the three people, he smiled and greeted them: "Three guests, do you want to stop by or stay overnight?"   "Stay overnight." Xie Cheng said in a calm voice.   "How many rooms?"   "Three, upstairs."   "Okay!" The shopkeeper smiled and said to the waiter, "Please prepare three upstairs rooms for these three guests."   Tang Xi said to the shopkeeper, "Can you prepare some bath water for us?"   She had not washed since she entered Luobian Town. With Xie Cheng and Kong Yue around, she did not dare to go into the space to wash casually. In addition, the weather was hot, so the smell on her body could be imagined.   "Okay!" The shopkeeper nodded, "The three of you sit down first. When the rooms are ready, I will send you bath water immediately."   The shopkeeper took two steps, turned around and asked with a smile, "Three guests, would you like a pot of tea?"   "Yes." Xie Cheng nodded lightly.   "Okay! Right up!"   Not long after the shopkeeper returned to the counter, a waiter brought tea. Just as   the few people finished drinking tea, the shopkeeper came to inform them that the rooms and water for washing were ready, and asked the three of them to go upstairs.   The three rooms were not close to each other. Kong Yue's was in the front, Tang Xi's was in the middle, and Xie Cheng's was at the end.   After entering the room, Tang Xi turned on the door control, observed the surroundings, and entered the space after seeing that it was indeed safe.   After washing up in the space, she came out, perfunctorily sprinkled the flower petals on the table into it, and washed her hair a few times.   After thinking about it, she still felt that it was not right, so she hurriedly took out the dirty clothes in the space, threw them into the bathtub and stirred them a few times. When the water turned from clear to turbid, she curled her lips with satisfaction.   She wrung out the water from the dirty clothes, took them back to the space, washed them, and hung them to dry, and then left the space.   She pushed open the door and asked the old woman in the store to come up and carry the water down, and then bring up two buckets of clean water.   After stirring it a few more times, she finally stopped, rested and walked to the couch to rest.   She slept until sunset. Xie Cheng brought dinner personally. After she finished eating, she asked the waiter to take the empty bowl away.   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 259 You are more beautiful than the moon   "Has Kong Yue eaten yet?" Tang Xi asked with a smile.   Xie Cheng nodded slightly and said with a faint smile: "Don't worry about her, she will find food when she is hungry."   Thinking of the scene when Kong Yue ate eight big buns for breakfast, Tang Xi couldn't help but smile.   "Do you want to go downstairs for a walk?" Xie Cheng asked.   "Okay!" Tang Xi's pink lips curved slightly, and she stood up and looked at him and said: "Let's go."   The two went downstairs, left the inn, and walked along the street to a bridge.   There is no night market in this small town. When it gets dark, although the lanterns around are lit, there are very few pedestrians on the road.   After crossing the bridge, the two came to a pavilion.   Tang Xi turned around and asked Xie Cheng, "Do you want to keep going?"   "Take a break."   As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Xi's hand was suddenly held by someone. She lowered her eyes and saw Xie Cheng's big hand holding her small hand.   The corners of her lips curled up, and her eyes were full of smiles.   The two of them sat down in the pavilion. A cool breeze blew in, and Tang Xi closed her eyes comfortably.   "Look!"   Xie Cheng suddenly said. She opened her eyes and saw Xie Cheng looking up to the east.   Tang Xi followed his gaze and saw a full moon hanging in the east like a jade plate. Her   delicate face was instantly filled with amazement, "It's so beautiful!"   Since she came to this world, she seemed to have never really appreciated the moon. Even on August 15, she didn't really look at it.   It must be said that this moon is really big and round. The sea of moon is clearly visible to the naked eye.   She hasn't seen such a moon for a long time. I remember that she had seen it when she was a child in the countryside. When she grew up, the moon she saw was always covered with a layer of hazy light, and she couldn't see the sea of moon inside at all.   "You are more beautiful than the moon!" There was a faint gentle smile in his words.   Tang Xi suddenly looked at Xie Cheng, but she didn't know when he had moved his eyes from the moon to her face.   That look was gentle and lingering, as if she really believed that she was more beautiful than the beautiful moon in the sky.   "Am I more beautiful than the moon?"   Seeing that she was just staring at him without saying anything, he couldn't help but tease.   Tang Xi smiled softly and nodded, "You are more beautiful than the moon!"   Her smile was clean and peaceful. Under the moonlight, her face seemed to be whiter, as if she was covered with a layer of holy white light, looking sacred and seductive.   Xie Cheng raised his hand and gently stroked her face, saying softly: "From now on, keep smiling like this."   Tang Xi immediately stopped smiling when she heard it, pretending to be dissatisfied and said: "Keep smiling, do you want my face to become stiff?"   Xie Cheng smiled when he heard it, and his starry eyes were still rippling with tenderness, "Then just smile at me like this."   Just like she had asked him before, he also asked her so, it was fair.   Tang Xi didn't know whether to nod or shake her head, whether to agree or refute, after all, she often smiled at others.   "Why?" Xie Cheng raised his eyebrows, "Is it difficult to smile at me?"   Tang Xi shook her head, "It's not difficult to smile at you, but... I often smile at others."   "Then other smiles belong to others, and the sweet smile belongs to me, how about that?" He raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.   Tang Xi smiled when she heard it, a sweet smile, she nodded, "Okay!"   Xie Cheng took her in his arms, let her lean on his arms, patted her shoulders and sighed, "When can I marry you home?"   Tang Xi held up two fingers in his arms and smiled, "It will take me two years to reach the age of marriage, the city lord will wait."   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 260 The Wang siblings   After resting for half a day and one night in Luoyue Town, the three of them continued their journey to Yanhai Town.   Before leaving, Tang Xi specially rewarded the two maids who brought water to her with one or two taels of silver each. The two maids were delighted and threatened that if she came to stay next time, they would bring her several buckets of water. Tang Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.   The three of them walked and stopped until half a month later, when they finally entered Yanhai Town.   After eating a big bowl of hot seafood noodles in a small noodle restaurant, they continued to the fishing village.   After entering the fishing village, Tang Xi suddenly felt a little distressed. She only knew that Tang Xiaohe lived in the fishing village, but she didn't know where it was exactly.   "The girl has never been here?" Kong Yue was a little surprised.   Tang Xi shook her head and said innocently, "It's my first time here."   "No problem." Xie Cheng comforted, "We   'll take our time to look for it." Kong Yue suggested, "Master, you and the girl go to the left and ask, I'll drive the carriage to the right. Whether we find it or not, we'll meet here at 3 p.m."   Tang Xi nodded, "Be careful by yourself." Kong Yue   nodded, and drove the carriage slowly to the right.   Xie Cheng whispered, "Let's go too."   "Okay!"   Tang Xi retracted his gaze and walked to the village on the left with Xie Cheng.   At this time, they might have gone out to sea to fish. There were almost no people in the village. Even if there were, there were only some children of five or six years old.   Tang Xi asked, but they didn't know which one Tang Xiaohe was.   Tang Xi knew that Tang Xiaohe had two children, but she didn't know their names. She only remembered the older one, who was only one year younger than her. As for the younger one, she was not very clear.   "Someone is coming."   Just when Tang Xi was helpless, two children came in front of him, a boy and a girl. The girl was about twelve or thirteen years old, and the boy was about eight or nine years old. It might be because they lived by the sea for a long time and the ultraviolet rays were too strong, so the skin of the people here was a little dark.   One of them was carrying a lunch box and the other was carrying a water bottle, and they were walking towards this side.   When the people came closer, Tang Xi stepped forward and asked, "Hello, I wonder if you know Tang Xiaohe?"   "Tang Xiaohe?"   The two looked at each other, and then looked at her puzzledly at the same time. The little girl said, "Who are you? What do you want to see my mother for?"   "Your mother?" Tang Xi blinked and asked, "Is your surname Wang?"   "Yes!" The two nodded at the same time.   Tang Xi smiled, "Where are you going?"   The little girl said, "To deliver food to my father and mother."   "Then can you take us with you?" Tang Xi asked.   "Sure." The little girl looked at the two of them, and seeing their looks and clothes, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Are you here to buy fish?"   "Buy fish?" Tang Xi was stunned, and then chuckled. She nodded, "I guess so."   "Then you come with us."   The little girl said, and walked quickly to the village entrance, her pace seemed to be much happier than before.   Tang Xi raised her eyebrows and looked at Xie Cheng, who curled his lips, "Naughty."   Tang Xi smiled proudly and hurriedly pulled him to catch up.   "What are your names?" Tang Xi asked the brother and sister.   It's embarrassing to say that as a cousin, she doesn't know the names of her cousins.   The little girl said, "My name is Wang Xiaoyu, and his name is Wang Xiaotian."   "Xiaoyu, Xiaotian." Tang Xi smiled and nodded slightly, "I'll remember it."   "You are from the town, right?" Wang Xiaoyu's clear eyes were full of envy, "Your clothes are so beautiful, and you are beautiful too!"   After hearing this, Tang Xi noticed what the two sisters were wearing. They were wearing linen clothes. Although there were no signs of mending, they were indeed very old.   Wang Xiaotian said, "My mother said that after selling the fish this time, she will buy cloth for me and my sister to make new clothes."   (End of this chapter)
