[Comprehensive Martial Arts] Career Affectionate

They didn't return to Jincheng's inn immediately, because Cheng Xiaowu had to do something.

The gold bracelet she got back from Xiao Yu'er was not her own, she had to return it to an old lady who lived on the edge of Yunlai Town.

The old lady was getting old, but there was no man and a woman to take care of her. It was already late when they passed by, but the light was still on in the hut.As soon as Cheng Xiaowu knocked on the door, footsteps could be heard inside, and after walking slowly and heavily for a while, the door was opened for her.

"Grandma Wang." Cheng Xiaowu called her, "Sorry, I'm late."

The old man's eyes were squeezed very small, and it seems that his memory is not very good. After staring at her for a long time, he remembered something, and stretched his head to look behind her.

Cheng Xiaowu gritted her teeth, and handed the gold bracelet in front of him: "I'm here to return the things to you."

"Ah..." Grandma Wang was stunned for a moment, and took it from her hand tremblingly, "That brat, is he planning to never forgive me for the rest of his life, and he will live in the Valley of the Evil."

"Grandma Wang, in fact, Wang Zhong has already."

Before Cheng Xiaowu finished speaking, the old man raised his voice: "I know I know. Don't you know his bad temper? If you don't forgive, don't forgive. I'll just wait for him here, and just wait for him to come back to me. .It’s a waste of time to trouble the little girl.”

After finishing speaking, she closed the door on her own.

The door closed quickly and loudly, which was extremely inconsistent with the old man's slow movements at the beginning.

The two people observing the situation from a distance knew what Cheng Xiaowu wanted to say.They also heard from Cheng Xiaowu about Wang Zhong's death.That old lady may not be aware of this matter, but she definitely doesn't want to accept it.

Cheng Xiaowu stood in front of her door for a long time, finally said nothing, sighed and returned to Song Chengyi, staring at him with watery eyes: "Song Cheng, what happened today...you will believe me Let's do it." After doing all the things that should be done, she was worried about letting Song Chengyi and Chu Liuxiang hear Xiao Yu'er's words today.

But when she said she was worried, in fact, she didn't worry much.

"Of course." Sure enough, Song Chengyi gently rubbed her hair and said, "Of course I believe in Xiao Wu."

As long as he expressed his belief that he didn't care, Chu Liuxiang would be just an outsider no matter what.Cheng Xiaowu didn't even talk about the matter of Grandma Wang Zhong that he saw tonight, and he wasn't going to ask.

For the first time, Cheng Xiaowu rubbed against his palm with peace of mind.

"I know, Song Cheng likes me the most."

Chu Liuxiang watched their interaction from the side, the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, and he looked at the closed door thoughtfully.

……

The next day, Cheng Xiaowu went out with them as if all the events of last night had been reversed or even never happened.

The wish she made was only three days in total.Now that the first day has passed, it should be even more urgent now, but Cheng Xiaowu didn't seem in a hurry, and after getting up early, she ate a luxurious breakfast before telling Song Chengyi about today's plan.

Cheng Xiaowu wants to go to the temple to worship Buddha and make a wish first.It wasn't the ruined temple where she used to live, but a branch of Shaolin outside Jincheng where incense was flourishing.

In order to express piety and firm belief, the temple stands on the top of the mountain, and it takes a long ladder to get there.

Of course, most people will take another road that can be used by horse-drawn carriages, and even those who know martial arts can use light skills to jump up if they find it troublesome.But this time Cheng Xiaowu insisted on going up that stage by herself.

Now that she has made up her mind, Song Chengyi can only follow.He and Chu Liuxiang both have martial arts, let alone for now.The little girl who felt tired from the downhill road before walking the Valley of the Wicked showed great resilience here.

Cheng Xiaowu seemed to have made up her mind, she stepped up every step of the stairs step by step, until at the end, her calves were trembling badly.After she gritted her teeth and walked the entire flight of stairs, she collapsed, and the smell of blood was already filling her mouth.

Song Chengyi helped her to rest under the shade of a tree for a long time, and then fed her some water.They waited for Cheng Xiaowu to regain his composure before entering the temple to pay homage.

Because Cheng Xiaowu came up step by step, the abbot of this temple took her through the process himself after hearing about it.Just as she was firm when she walked the stone steps, Cheng Xiaowu still made every step perfectly.She seems to have a big wish, hoping to be heard and fulfilled by the Buddha.

One morning passed in the temple.

When they came back from the temple, Cheng Xiaowu was much more relaxed than at the beginning.She was standing on the main street of Jincheng. Because the New Year was approaching, the people on the street were very busy. The smile on the corner of the little girl's mouth was innocent and warm: "Song Cheng, can I go and beat the drum of the county government?"

She seems to have determined that Song Chengyi's identity is unusual, so she made this request, in fact, to prove how much influence Song Chengyi has in the court.

But the drums of the county government are used to express grievances, and they should not be used for entertainment.Chu Liuxiang felt that what she wanted to do was a bit inappropriate, but Song Chengyi nodded first and said, "Okay."

There were secret sentries responsible for protection around them, Song Chengyi responded, and gestured for them to negotiate with the county magistrate first.

In this way, when he takes Cheng Xiaowu to beat the drums, it won't cause too much consequence.

"You're so used to it, I'm afraid you'll spoil people." Chu Liuxiang shook his head.

He was also a little worried that after these three days passed, Cheng Xiaowu would find it difficult to accept the gap in life.

With Song Chengyi's protection, she can naturally do what she wants to do unscrupulously, but after Song Chengyi leaves, how will she live.

But this is also Cheng Xiaowu's own wish, she wants someone to like her for three days, and during these three days, he can follow her and spoil her no matter what.

This is why Song Chengyi will not reject her.

"She should know it in her heart." Song Chengyi said.

From what happened yesterday, it can be seen that Cheng Xiaowu is not so innocent and ignorant of world affairs.In fact, she is not a young lady who was spoiled by her family.

As Jincheng is a big city, the size of the county government should be larger. People from Song Chengyi came to say hello in advance, so the government servants naturally wouldn't stop Cheng Xiaowu from beating the drums.It was the first time for the little girl to do this, and she yelled "I am wronged, my lord" while beating the drums, having a great time playing.

When people around were already attracted by her beating the drum, she put down the drumstick and slipped to Song Chengyi's side, sticking out her tongue and said, "Let's go, don't get caught."

She also just wanted to have fun, but she didn't want to really cause any sensation.On the county government side, Song Chengyi obviously helped her suppress it, and she couldn't make the noise too big to make things difficult for Song Chengyi and the people in the county government.

After leaving the county government, Cheng Xiaowu took Song Chengyi and Chu Liuxiang to the city wall of the capital, pointed to the patrolling soldiers above and said, "Can I walk on it like them, it looks very majestic."

Song Chengyi naturally agreed.

Cheng Xiaowu looked at the people coming in and out below, then looked at the scenery of Jincheng and said, "So this is what Jincheng looks like from this place."

It was also the first time that Chu Liuxiang walked up the city wall in broad daylight.He slowly followed behind them, also admiring the scenery looking down from the city wall.At the same time, he was thinking about some things about Cheng Xiaowu.

After they walked down the city wall, Song Chengyi took Cheng Xiaowu to fly a kite, take a boat ride, and even asked Cheng Xiaowu to change into men's clothes at her suggestion, and went shopping with her in the brothel.The second day is coming to an end.

Cheng Xiaowu obviously still has a lot of things she wants to do, but after everyone went back to their homes one after another, she also proposed to go back with Song Chengyi.

Today is New Year's Eve, after this night, the new year is coming.In the streets of Jincheng, there will actually be a night market on New Year's Eve, but Cheng Xiaowu is not prepared to participate.It's as if she doesn't want to live this year at all.

Song Chengyi could only let someone cook a large table of dishes, decorated the yard in the inn more festively, and prepared red envelopes for Cheng Xiaowu together with Chu Liuxiang.

But Cheng Xiaowu accepted all this calmly, as if the calm before the storm was suppressing something.

Her seemingly inexhaustible energy and smile this day disappeared completely at night.

Both Chu Liuxiang and Song Chengyi noticed the difference between her and the morning.

"Could you be thinking about saying goodbye to you tomorrow?" Chu Liuxiang asked.

"Maybe." Although Song Chengyi nodded, he felt that the possibility was unlikely.

He just gave Cheng Xiaowu a red envelope, but now he looked at Chu Liuxiang who was with him all the time and said, "Ah Xiang, close your eyes, I have something for you."

"What?" Chu Liuxiang asked while closing her eyes cooperatively.

Song Chengyi took out the red envelope that was hidden for him from the beginning, and said, "Open your eyes."

When Chu Liuxiang opened his eyes, he handed over the red envelope and said, "Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year." Chu Liuxiang smiled, his softened eyebrows looked very real and beautiful under the red decoration of the yard, "It seems that we want to go together."

He also took out the red envelope prepared for Song Chengyi with his backhand.

"It's my luck to get the money from the Bandit Commander." After the two exchanged red envelopes, Song Chengyi also laughed.

"After all, we agreed to spend the New Year with you." Chu Liuxiang said, "If Cheng Yi likes it, he can ask me to get it every year from now on."

"I can't get the red envelope myself." Song Chengyi shook his head with a smile, "If Ah Xiang has this heart, shouldn't it be sent to me every year."

Chu Liuxiang looked into his smiling eyes, and suddenly nodded solemnly, as if making a promise: "Okay."
