Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

"Don't worry, Xixi will be three next year. She is so smart, I can't let her drift with us forever. Last month, my senior brother sent me a letter saying that his escort agency is doing great business now, and asked me to help him."

"I thought that although the days would be filled with swords and sticks, at least it was better than the current homeless life. I have saved a lot of things over the years. When the time comes, I will buy a yard. I will be out escorting, and you and Xixi can wait for me at home, so that I can have a hot meal when I come back.

"When I can no longer toss and turn, we will live a peaceful life. By then, Xixi will be grown up. Whether she wants to venture out into the world or ask us to find her a good family, we will follow her will."

"As for your brother, I am the one who let him down after all. No matter how angry he is, it is all right. When we go back this time, we will apologize to him together, and then let Xixi meet her uncle and aunt and wish them a happy new year..."

Lin Heguan kept talking about future arrangements, and Wei Ruo's attention was gradually attracted by the scenes he described. He gradually quieted down, but when he heard his last sentence, he couldn't help but frowned and spoke.

"I'm afraid my brother is still angry. After Chuan'er's birthday this summer, I haven't received any letters from my sister-in-law. I'm afraid my brother got angry when he knew that my sister-in-law had been secretly communicating with me, so he stopped writing to her."

"It shouldn't be. Your brother is not such a narrow-minded person. When I went to deliver a birthday gift to Chuan Ge'er three years ago, he finally drove me out. But I know that he was hoping that you could go back with me." Lin Heguan shook his head and expressed his opinion.

"And if he hadn't secretly instructed us, we would have traveled all over the country. Your sister-in-law is a woman in the inner house. How could she easily send someone to deliver the letter to you? She also sent a large package every time. Now there is no letter. I think she might have been held up by something."

"That's possible. This year, Chuan'er will be six years old. It's a good time for him to practice martial arts and study. Maybe that's why your sister-in-law forgot to write the letter." Wei Ruo was convinced by him and said with a slightly relieved expression.

"Okay, we have to go back anyway, we will know when the time comes. It's late at night, let's go to bed. Tomorrow we will ask the government officials to carry the tiger's corpse down the mountain, and we will collect the reward and go home." Lin Heguan held Wei Ruo's hand and let her sleep peacefully.

After the two men fell asleep, Wei Qingchuan, who had listened to their entire conversation, finally let out the anger in his heart.

When he was six years old, it was summer. The Wei family must have met with disaster by this time. Except for him, more than a dozen people in the family were killed by monsters. Naturally, no one wrote back to his aunt's family.

At that time, he had just experienced the pain of his entire family being wiped out. He was filled with grief and did not even think about his aunt whom he had never met. He only thought about practicing magic and killing monsters. He was gone for thirteen years. If Lin Xi had not appeared, he would have completely forgotten about this aunt.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little confused. From what he had seen over the past few times, his uncle Lin Heguan and his aunt Wei Ruo both loved children very much, and both of them were very good at martial arts. Then why did Lin Xi appear alone in that strange town when he first met her?

There was another familiar feeling of dizziness. This time when he opened his eyes, "Lin Xi" was being carried by someone and running. Wei Qingchuan only felt that the person holding him was staggering and breathing heavily. It was obvious that she was exhausted, but she still did not stop.

"Puff!" The person seemed to be tripped by something and suddenly lost her balance. She stumbled and fell straight to the ground. But the moment she landed, she instinctively turned around to avoid pressing "Lin Xi" in her arms under her body.

"Mother!" Lin Xi screamed in surprise. Only then did Wei Qingchuan see clearly the face of the person who had been holding him and running for his life. It was Wei Ruo with a pale face.

Her clothes were all stained with blood, and there was a deep scar on her shoulder that was visible to the bone. It looked like the wound was torn by some animal, and there was a faint black gas lingering around the wound.

Wei Qingchuan looked at the wound and suddenly felt a chill rushing to his head, followed by endless anger. He had seen such a familiar wound on his closest person and would never forget it until his death.

The two of them rolled down in the snow. Wei Ruo ignored the severe pain in his body and struggled to check on his daughter. "Xixi, are you okay? Did you fall anywhere?"

"Mom, how are you? I'm fine. And daddy..." Lin Xi hurriedly reached out to pull her, her voice choked and incoherent.

"Mom, it's okay. Can you move? Let's keep running." When Wei Ruo heard Lin Xi mention Lin Heguan, he couldn't help but tremble and his eyes turned red.

She didn't understand how the person who was chatting and laughing with her the previous second could have his arm torn off by a black shadow that came from nowhere the next second.

Before the two could react, the black shadow bit Lin Heguan's neck like a wild beast. He only had time to leave an unclear "Run... away..." before there was no sound again.

Wei Ruo's eyes were red with anger, but seeing her husband, who was much better at martial arts than her, being killed by a single blow from the ghost, she would surely die if she rushed forward again, not to mention that she had Lin Xi in her arms.

So when the black shadow pounced towards her, she decisively reined in her horse and turned around, enduring the pain of having a large piece of flesh torn off by the ghost, and ran wildly in the other direction without looking back.

She didn't know how long she ran until the horse broke its leg, so she continued to run with her daughter in her arms. But the black shadow followed her closely, and even though she had tried her best, it still kept chasing her.

It was not until after a fall that the Jade Unicorn hanging on Lin Xi's neck was shaken out. Just as the black shadow was about to grab Lin Xi's chest, the Jade Unicorn emitted a faint fluorescent light, and its back seemed to be burned by fire. It screamed and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

But Wei Ruo still did not dare to relax. He picked up his daughter and ran wildly again until he fell in the snow again. After making sure that the figure had not caught up with him, he hugged his daughter and cried bitterly.

Seeing the two people in such a miserable state, Wei Qingchuan seemed to have returned to that summer. However, in an instant, his family was destroyed and he could only hide helplessly in the wet well, biting his palm tightly and not daring to make a sound.

Gravity came, and this time "Lin Xi" stood in front of two small earth mounds. On one mound was wild grass growing wildly, and on the other mound the loess was fresh and moist, and it was obvious that it had been built not long ago.

Wei Qingchuan knew that a long time had passed. As expected, he heard Lin Xi say, "Mother, Xixi is already twelve years old and can take care of herself. You can finally go find Daddy without any worries."

"I have checked. The thing that killed my uncle's family and you is called a blood demon. It is a monster that eats human flesh and blood. Only cultivators can deal with it. Don't worry, I will definitely find my cousin in this life and avenge you together with him."
