Mu Xue and Mu Xue

In the quiet courtyard, Muxue was concentrating on digging the soil, with beads of sweat on her forehead. She had no idea that Ziyuan had been sitting on the quaint chair under the eaves, staring at her quietly for a long time.

"Xue'er."

Ziyuan couldn't hold back her doubts after all, and called out softly.

This call was particularly clear in the silent atmosphere.

“Ah! Who?!”

Mu Xue was obviously startled, her delicate body trembled slightly, and the movement of her hands also stopped.

When she looked up and saw it was Ziyuan, she breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and said, "Sister Ziyuan, aren't you practicing? Why are you here?"

Ziyuan smiled and replied, "No, I've been sitting here for quite some time.

"Oh, Xue'er, what are you doing? I saw you digging the soil intently, and I thought you were going to plant some exotic flowers or plants, but I didn't see you drop any seeds. Are you digging for treasure?"

Mu Xue straightened up, gently wiped the dirt stains on her cheeks with her hands, and explained: "I want to plant some beautiful flowers, but I don't have any seeds, so I thought I would dig the holes first and then buy seeds tomorrow to put them in."

At this point, some people may wonder why Mu Xue is not as keen on cultivation as Lin Mo and Zi Yuan?

In fact, Mu Xue was not very interested in cultivation. When she practiced in the past, she always left it to her sister Mu Xue.

As time went by, Mu Xue herself still had not fully mastered the method of cultivation.

In fact, Muxue is not very obedient when she sleeps.

Every time before going to bed, she would quietly hand over the control of her body to Mu Xue and fall asleep peacefully. As for cultivation, it was entirely the responsibility of her sister.

Ziyuan was dumbfounded when she heard Muxue's words. She opened her mouth slightly and said, "Uh... you dug the hole in advance. By tomorrow, the soil might be dry. If you plant flowers then, the survival rate of the flowers will be greatly reduced!"

When Mu Xue heard this, she immediately looked troubled, her eyes filled with annoyance: "Ah! This... what should I do? I've already dug it. Forget it, then I'll fill the hole."

Ziyuan quickly waved her hands and said with a smile, "Oh, no, no, have you forgotten?

I've awakened the water element! I'll help you when the time comes.

It's already dinner time, should we go to the banquet?"

When the topic of the banquet was brought up, Ziyuan's face instantly lit up with longing, and his eyes sparkled with anticipation.

When Mu Xue heard this, she subconsciously looked up at the sun in the sky, only to see that the red sun was gradually sinking to the west and was about to set.

"Oh right! It's almost dark, it's time to go! Can't miss the appointment!"

Mu Xue seemed to be suddenly awakened and rushed to the basin of water beside her.

She dipped her hands into the cool water and rubbed her cheeks vigorously. The little face, which was originally covered with mud, gradually became clean and white after her wiping.

After washing her face, Mu Xue shook off the water droplets on her hands, and without bothering to wipe her face dry, she hurriedly ran to call Lin Mo and went to the banquet together.

When they arrived at the banquet, the scene before them made Mu Xue slightly stunned.

I saw that the place was already crowded with people, and the bustling crowd was surging like a tide. The lively scene seemed to be more grand than ever before.

In the huge venue, several round tables were neatly arranged, with six or seven people sitting around each table.

They were either smiling and chatting happily, or leisurely eating melon seeds and sharing some interesting anecdotes with the old women beside them, bursting into cheerful laughter from time to time.

"Have you heard? It's that XXX..."

Mu Xue passed by a table full of old ladies. They were talking about something mysteriously with their heads close together.

Their expressions were unpredictable. One moment they were filled with disgust, their lips curled and their brows furrowed, as if they had heard something extremely unbearable.

After a while, he nodded repeatedly as if he suddenly understood something, with curiosity and gossip shining in his eyes.

Mu Xue has always had good hearing, and since they were not far from this "intelligence station", she could hear the conversations of the old women clearly.

After listening for a while, Mu Xue couldn't help but show a speechless expression on her face, secretly complaining in her heart: "Haha, this is simply the super 'information station' in this town!

When I travel far away in the future, maybe I can just pick up some sunflower seeds at a place full of aunties and get all the information, hehe."

As Mu Xue listened to the gossip, she suddenly felt an urge to move a stool and chat with those old ladies.

But when I thought about myself just leaning over so abruptly, even though I could hear it, it still felt a bit inappropriate. I felt like a sneaky peeping tom, which was really embarrassing.

There were not many strangers at Muxue's table.

If you count carefully, there are eight people sitting there in total.

At the table were Muxue, Lin Mo, Ziyuan, the mayor's uncle and aunt, and the mayor's son.

The remaining two, judging from the way they seemed to be chatting happily with the mayor, must be his very good friends.

In this way, there are no outsiders at this table.

Of course, Linglong also came along, but as a fox, if it occupied a seat alone, it would definitely attract gossip from outsiders.

So it curled up obediently on Muxue's legs, since it was impossible for it to go to the table anyway.

Soon, delicious dishes were served on the table one after another.

Ziyuan was not familiar with the mayor at first, but she was cheerful and sociable. Soon she was chatting enthusiastically with the mayor and even joined in the conversation with the mayor's friends, having a very pleasant conversation.

Laughter and joy filled the air around the table as everyone savored the delicious food and shared interesting stories in life.

However, time passed quietly in this pleasant atmosphere, and before we knew it, dinner was over.

Perhaps because he was too engrossed in chatting with the mayor, Ziyuan got drunk.

Her steps were unsteady, and she staggered from side to side, like a candle in the wind, ready to fall at any moment.

In fact, with her star power, it was not difficult for her to resist the drunkenness, but she felt that in such an occasion, in order to truly integrate into the group, she should enjoy the joy and relaxation like ordinary people, even if she was drunk.

So, with the support of Mu Xue and Lin Mo, they set out on their way home. The moonlight shone on them, stretching their shadows out, and accompanied by laughter all the way, they gradually disappeared into the night.
