Chapter 4691 Spirit Fruit
At the Qixing Jikou, young boys and girls stood side by side, looking at the bustling crowd, and were slightly lost.
After thirteen years of separation, the seven-star gatherings made them almost unable to recognize each other. The entire market town became much bigger and more lively.
The Seven Star Collection was built on the Seven Stars Square. The Seven Stars Square back then was just an ordinary second-class sect. Although it is famous within a radius of thousands of miles, it is nothing to leave this Thousand Miles.
But since the Seven Star Collection Pupil Collection Conference that shocked the world, the Supreme Elder has become a top-notch sect in the entire Void Continent. With great fame, it will naturally attract more people to come and watch, and the Seven Star Collection has become more prosperous as a result.
The boy took a deep breath and felt a little timid.
Although he occasionally asked Miao Feiping who went down the mountain to send a few words or letters to his mother and mother-in-law over the years, he knew that everything was in the family was fine, but he had not seen it with his own eyes.
When I left home, I was just a child. Now I have grown up and embarked on the path of martial arts. I don’t know if my mother and mother-in-law can recognize me.
"Brother Xiaobai." As if feeling his emotional changes, Zhao Ya leaned against him and reached out to hold Zhao Yebai.
"Let's go." Zhao Yebai took a deep breath and walked forward side by side with Zhao Ya.
Soon, two people stopped at the door of a small shop.
The store has a small storefront, but it is extremely lively. Several tables in the store are full of people, and even the tables outside the store are full. Not only that, there are many people waiting in line.
"Is it here?" Zhao Ya was watching from side to side, a little unsure.
I still remember when I was a child, Uncle Yang set up a stall here every day. Then they were often chased by Miao Feiping and were desperate, and then hid under Uncle Yang's cart and waited until the limelight came out. Then Uncle Yang would give each of them a glutinous rice dumpling, and eat with relish.
Now there is no car stall here, but there is an additional store.
"It's here!" Zhao Yebai closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He never forgot the familiar taste of tea soup and glutinous rice dumplings even after thirteen years.
According to Miao Feiping, my mother and mother-in-law saved some money over the years and bought a storefront, specializing in making glutinous rice dumplings. The business was booming.
When I looked up, I saw two busy figures inside, one of whom was grilling glutinous rice dumplings on the charcoal fire, and the other was cleaning up the bowls and chopsticks left by the guests after they left.
As if he felt something, the woman who was cleaning up the dishes suddenly looked up and looked out the door.
With eyes facing each other, Zhao Ye’s eyes turned red, and he pursed his lips and refused to let himself cry.
The woman was stunned at first, then she showed an incredible look, put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hand, walked out with trembling body, and stretched out her hands from a distance.
"Xiaobai?" The woman's hand stroked Zhao Yebai's face, as if she was in a dream.
"Mom!" Zhao Yebai sniffed, "I'm back."
When the busy mother-in-law turned her head and looked at her, she saw a scene where a woman hugged Zhao Yebai and Zhao Ya and cried with joy.
Xiaobai and Xiaoya came back, and the store closed early, which made many customers who had not yet eaten the glutinous rice dumplings disappointed. However, everyone in Duji Town knew that the boss's wife's son and daughter were apprenticed to Qixingfang, and the master was also the supreme elder of Qixingfang. Therefore, although he was disappointed, no one dared to say anything more.
As night fell, mother-in-law and Yu Lu went to the kitchen and cooked a table full of food, and Zhao Yebai ate it voraciously.
"Mom, that guy Miao Feiping said that you have not changed much over the years. I can't believe it. It turns out that there is no change." Zhao Yebai was plucking the food in his mouth while staring at his mother in surprise.
It has been thirteen years, and my mother still looks like she remembers, as if time has left no trace on her.
Yu Lu touched her cheek and angrily glanced at her son: "Why hasn't changed? She's much older."
"No, Aunt Lu." Zhao Ya shook her head aside, "I remember this was how you were when I was a child. If we go out together now, no one will believe me. If you say it's a sister, others won't think too much."
"If the two little guys wipe their honey from their mouths, they will make their mother happy." Yu Lu lowered her head and chuckled.
She also knew that her appearance was easy to cause trouble, so after she sent Zhao Yebai and Zhao Ya to the Seven Stars House, she was covered with a veil as her mother-in-law set up a stall and did not dare to show her true face.
Even so, it still attracted many passing bees and butterflies.
However, those guys who dare to speak rudely to her often get into trouble for no reason before they even left the Seven Star Game.
It was just once or twice, but after so many times, no one dared to talk nonsense in front of her anymore. It was not until later that she realized that her daughter was fortunate to join the Supreme Elder of Qixingfang. Qixingfang naturally took good care of her. Those unlucky guys must have been secretly taught a lesson from the masters of Qixingfang.
If it weren't for this, how could she dare to show up in public over the years?
"We only know how to make your mother happy, so we don't care about our mother-in-law, right?" Grandma Zhou looked so angry.
Zhao Yebai hurriedly said, "No, mother-in-law, your changes are even more unbelievable than mother."
Zhao Ya also nodded violently from the side: "Mother-in-law suddenly became thirty or forty years younger."
When I left home, my mother-in-law was old. Now thirteen years later, not only did she look older, but she is really young. Even her white hair turned black again. Her waist, which was originally a little hunched, was straightened again. My mother-in-law is now a hundred years old, but in the eyes of those who don’t know, it is only fifty or sixty at most.
"Mother-in-law, what have you and my mother eaten over the years?" Zhao Yebai asked curiously.
As the martial artist improves his cultivation, he may be able to rejuvenate and have a permanent appearance, but his mother and mother-in-law are obviously ordinary people who have never practiced before. What he sees today is beyond his cognition.
The mother-in-law laughed and said, "What else can I eat every day? Your mother and I don't know what's going on. There are rumors in the market town that my glutinous rice dumpling has the effect of maintaining beauty, otherwise the business will be so prosperous?"
"Is it related to glutinous rice dumplings?" Zhao Yebai fell into deep thought.
My mother-in-law picked up the dish and said, "Is it okay, can I not know?" They are all made of ordinary rice and flour, so they have no effect on maintaining their appearance.
Zhao Ya smiled and said, "I don't know whether the glutinous rice dumpling can keep its beauty, but some fruits here can prolong life."
As he said this, he took out eight spiritual fruits from his space ring and divided them into four for his mother and four for his mother-in-law.
"This fruit looks so beautiful." Yu Lu stared at the spiritual fruit in front of her, and saw that the fruit skin was transparent, and there was even light flashing inside. The fruit emitted a strange fragrance, making people's index fingers move.
The mother-in-law said, "Where did this fruit come from? It's very expensive, right?"
"What I picked from the trees on the mountain is not expensive. Aunt Lu and her mother-in-law quickly ate it. It will be good for you."
At the same time, the Seven Star Square Star Peak, which is the Ling Peak where the elder Guan Qianxing in the sect lives.
Miao Feiping fled in a panic, begging for mercy while running: "Master, I'm wrong, don't beat me, I'll kill you if you hit me again."
Although he escaped quickly, how could he escape from his master's pursuit?
Guan Qianxing was holding a stick in his hand, following Miao Feiping like a shadow, smashing it down with one stick at a time, and pounding, and scolding, "You prodigal son, it's not easy to raise this fruit tree for your master. It only blooms in ten years, bears fruit every ten years, and then matures in ten years, and has only 18 fruits in total. The girl snatched away twelve of them at once. This was cut off a few kilograms of meat for your master, and his heart was bleeding!"
Miao Feiping protected his head: "Master, you also said it was picked by that girl Zhao Yan. Go and beat her up, why are you beating me?"
Guan Qianxing said angrily: "Beat her? Do I dare? Besides, that girl Zhao Ya doesn't leave the house. If you didn't let your mouth miss it, how could she know that there is something good here? Who would I hit you if I don't?"
Miao Feiping was speechless and could not escape, so he simply refused to escape. He turned around and knelt down in front of Guan Qianxing, and said with a sad face: "Master, the fruit is precious, and the apprentice is even more precious. You will still have it after thirty years of losing the fruit. If you beat your apprentice to death, where can you find such an outstanding disciple like me?"
Guan Qianxing held the stick high and stood in front of him.
Miao Fei had two index fingers in his life, pressed them against the corners of his mouth, and lifted them upwards, and squeezed out a smile that was even worse than crying: "Master, what the disciple said, right?"
"That's right!" Guan Qianxing smashed it down again, "If the fruit is gone, it's really gone. I can't beat you to death, I just want to exhale!"
Miao Fei got up continuously, fled to the mountains, yelling as he ran away, "Help, please help me!"
At the Seven Star Collection, Zhao Yebai and Zhao Ya stayed for a full month.
He did not tell his mother about suffering on the mountain, but only about interesting experiences on the mountain. He also said that he was able to practice now and sooner or later he would become a powerful warrior. Yu Lu always listened attentively and looked at the two children and felt satisfied.
I never thought that I could see my two children growing up. I suddenly recalled that rainy night twenty years ago. Time flies so fast, and everything seems to have happened yesterday.
One month later, Zhao Yebai and Zhao Ya were about to set off and leave.
The task of going down the mountain this time is to experience. Although I feel reluctant to leave, I can't always stay in the Seven Star Collection.
At the entrance of the market town, Yu Lu and her mother-in-law sent the two out and gave them many instructions.
"Xiaoya, come here." Yu Lu suddenly waved to Zhao Ya and walked aside.
"Aunt Lu, what's the matter?" Zhao Ya asked closer.
