Douluo Heavens Upgrade

one week later

"squeak."

In late autumn, for some reason, the snow this year came earlier than in previous years. Since three days ago, there was a sudden snowstorm, and the originally lively streets suddenly became deserted.

When I pushed open the door of the medical clinic, I saw a blanket of white snow outside. The avenue in front of the shop was still covered with snow even though it was located in a remote corner of the imperial capital. Three days had passed.

Not far away, a hunched figure was clearing the snow bit by bit, but compared with the flying snow in the sky, it seemed like a drop in the bucket.

In a vast white world, the houses were covered with snow, covering up their original colors. Chen Xiaoming wrapped himself in a coat, packed his luggage, stepped out, and locked the door of the medical center behind him.

"Uncle Chen, are you getting up so early to drink again?"

Not far away, Daniel, who got up early, saw Chen Xiaoming's figure at a glance. He suppressed a smile and said.

During this week, Chen Xiaoming got up early and went to the restaurant to sit there all day long. Some people in the neighborhood said that Chen Xiaoming fell in love with the woman who sang in the restaurant, so he ran so diligently.

Naturally, Daniel had heard such rumors, but he was happy to hear them. Uncle Chen was getting older and was always alone. Daniel also hoped that he could find a partner to accompany each other.

"No, Daniel, Uncle Chen, I have to leave."

Walking lightly, he walked to Daniu's blacksmith shop. A week ago, Chen Xiaoming had already decided to go his own way.

"Uncle Chen, are you going back?"

Daniel was stunned when he heard this. When he was young, he once asked where Uncle Chen's home was, but the answer he got was that it was far away.

He only knew that Uncle Chen came here just to make money. He said that only after making enough money could he go back to marry a wife, because in Uncle Chen's hometown, marrying a wife requires giving a lot of money as a bride price.

"No, I just want to go out and I will come back."

Shake your head and go home? In just a few decades, Chen Xiaoming almost forgot about his former home.

"Da Niu, help me get a few more bottles of fruit bar."

As if there was a bit of chill in the flying snowflakes, Chen Xiaoming tightened the fur coat tightly and tied the leather hat on his head a little tighter.

Daniel responded and hurried back to the house. After a while, he was carrying a brown baggage, and a wine bottle could be faintly seen inside the baggage.

"Uncle Chen, it's cold, take it with you to drink on the road."

After handing the baggage out, Chen Xiaoming nodded, took it, and hung it behind his back. Then he looked around, his eyes lingering on Daniel, and patted the latter's shoulder, and an undetectable light ball merged into it. into the bull's body.

The light ball turned into a warm current, nourishing Da Niu's body.

"Hey, why doesn't it feel like it's not too cold anymore?"

After stretching his muscles and bones, Da Niu let out a soft cry and grabbed a handful of snow on the side. The originally cold snow could no longer feel much cold in Da Niu's hands.

"Hehe, let's go."

After chuckling twice, Chen Xiaoming turned around and left quite freely without criticizing.

Walking step by step, he stepped on the snow and made a soft sound. Snowflakes were flying all over the sky and fell on Chen Xiaoming. Snowflakes gradually fell on his white clothes and fur hat. Unknowingly, Chen Xiaoming's figure had disappeared into the street in the distance.

It wasn't until Chen Xiaoming left that Daniel came to his senses and forgot to ask Chen Xiaoming how many days he would be away for this medical visit.

Glancing at the closed medical clinic opposite, Daniel didn't pay attention. After all, Chen Xiaoming had gone out for medical treatment before.

The cold wind was biting and the snow could not help but become heavier. Daniel shook his head and packed up the tools in the blacksmith shop. In such weather, no one would come to blacksmith.

He simply closed the shop today, closed the door, took out a bottle of fruit wine from the room, and headed towards Wang Lin next to the medical center.

"It's such a cold day, Uncle Wang must be craving for wine."

With a soft voice and a smile on his face, Daniel seemed to have returned to his childhood, when he helped Wang Lin steal alcohol every day.

........

The white snow is flying, and the snowflakes in the sky are fluttering between the sky and the earth. Chen Xiaoming takes one step at a time. Originally, there are few pedestrians on this avenue because of the snow, but like Chen Xiaoming, who is not afraid of the wind and snow and walks slowly, it is even more... Only this one person.

"Hey, that seems to be Dr. Chen from Beicheng."

The busy people who got up early along the way saw Chen Xiaoming approaching under the eaves, glanced at him unconsciously, and then recognized Chen Xiaoming.

In the past ten years, Chen Xiaoming has become quite famous in this huge imperial capital thanks to his alchemy skills. Many people in the imperial capital have received favors from Chen Xiaoming.

"Dr. Chen, the snow is heavy, please grab an umbrella quickly."

A plump-looking woman held an oil-paper umbrella in her hand. She ran over quickly despite the heavy snow and handed over the umbrella in her hand.

Chen Xiaoming glanced at the woman, then nodded and took the oil-paper umbrella. He remembered that a few years ago, he saved this woman's life. At that time, considering that her family was poor, he did not charge her for it.

"Thank you."

Opening the oil-paper umbrella, Chen Xiaoming said slightly to the woman. His eyes wandered between the oil-paper umbrella and the woman. In his heart, he seemed to have some understanding of cause and effect.

Saving people is the cause, and giving umbrellas is the effect. Is this cause and effect?

Chen Xiaoming seemed to feel something in his heart, but he still didn't feel it enough. Knowing and enlightening are two different concepts.

The woman did not stay too long in the heavy snow. After giving the umbrella to Chen Xiaoming, she turned around and ran towards a figure not far away.

There was a man there, waiting quietly with an oil-paper umbrella. The woman quickly ran under the umbrella, held the man's arm lovingly, turned around, and nodded gratefully to Chen Xiaoming.

Chen Xiaoming smiled slightly, but his eyes were looking behind the man. The child with a tiger-like head popped out of his head. He had an innocence as pure as snow in his eyes.

Holding the woman's hand with one hand, and holding the man's hand tightly with the other, she was not afraid of the wind and snow in the sky at all.

Chen Xiaoming stopped, and the woman and the man picked up the child and left lovingly. It wasn't until the figure disappeared into the distance that Chen Xiaoming shook his head with a wry smile.

The snow was still falling. Chen Xiaoming turned around and had an oil-paper umbrella in his hand. The originally lonely and cold atmosphere had a touch of warmth.

The city gates of the imperial capital were not closed because of the snow. Even though it was snowing heavily, there were still many pedestrians who were busy making a living, coming in and out of the city gates.

Chen Xiaoming was like an ordinary person, walking among the team leaving the city, inconspicuously. It was not until he left the city gate and looked at the vast snowy land outside the capital that a glimmer of light flashed in Chen Xiaoming's eyes.

"From today onwards, I will follow my own path."
