A touch of happiness

Chapter 22

I was worried that it was too late to come back, the sunset glow in the sky had disappeared, and it was a bit late to start cooking at this time.

"I'm late. Let's start cooking now." Xiu, who rushed into the kitchen in a hurry, paused, and returned to the living room, only to find that they were all ready. "Hot pot? When will you..."

Ida grabbed his hand, interrupted him, and said with a smile. "This is a surprise. Yu specially prepared it. Are you happy with Xiu Gao?"

"Ida also helped wash the vegetables," Yu added.

Xiu looked at the two of them with a smile, and touched Ida's little head. "Thank you."

"I already have a cane, let's thank the rain tonight." Ida joked.It was Yu who told him that he knew that the idea of ​​the cane was still made by repairing in the first place.

"Child..." Xiu blushed and patted Yu's shoulder lightly.Yu's cold face actually had some malicious smiles at the moment.Ida smiled and pushed Xiu to sit down, ready to eat.

The three of them gathered around the hot pot and started to eat. The taste of the big bone broth and the fresh ingredients were really delicious.They ate all the food that was on the table.

After Xiu made tea, everyone was drinking tea when he suddenly looked up and found that it was snowing outside the window. "It's snowing."

"Yes, it's snowing." The three looked at each other and smiled.

The author has something to say: This is the legendary year update.The author Jun played a big game of chess at the beginning, and now I can’t remember it, haha.However, I will still try to finish it.Thank you for your continued company.

The author has something to say: This is what the author said, and I have to fill in the holes one by one.hey-hey.It's not what I expected, but I also like the ending.

This day, the rain was a little uneasy, he raised his head, and the sky had turned into a gloomy color like ink, which was extremely depressing.He pushed open the door and saw Ida trying to weave baskets. "Fix it."

"Is it rain?" Ida raised her head, facing the direction of the door, showing a sweet smile. "Xiu said he was going to find some chickweed by the river today."

"I'll go find him." Yu pursed his lips, feeling more and more uneasy in his heart.The sky seemed to be about to rain.Although it is early spring, the temperature is still very cold.

"Okay. Well, wait, Yu, Xiu said that he has prepared honey tea for you. Why don't you take it with me, so that Xiu can warm up." Ida got up to get it while talking, but was caught by someone on the ground. Basket tripped.The rain couldn't stop it in time, so I hurried up to have a look, and Ida was blown out of blood, and there was another wave of chaos.

It's been a while since the rain packed up before going out.When he reached the bank of the river, the endless thatched grass was a vast expanse of whiteness, but he couldn't find a figure he wanted to see.He hurried to the mudflat, and a mess of footprints scared him into a panic.

"build--!"

There was no ripple in the river, like a huge abyss, silently swallowing up the miserable cry.There was no answer, and Yu's heart turned to ice, driving him crazy.No, you must calm down.

With a cold face, Yu ran wildly for a day and a night, chasing to the end of the West Forest, the huge waterfall, but he didn't find that little spot in his heart.Frustrated, he had never felt the blood in his body so cold.

We have to cross the boundary to go to Jiadaishan, if there is not there yet, then go to the South Sea.As long as there is no Xiu's flower in the cemetery, he will keep looking for it. "Yu, are you back?" Ida sat on the chair obediently, breathing carefully.

Immediately after Yida learned that Xiu had fallen into the water, she panicked violently.For the first time, he was so disgusted that he couldn't see and couldn't help.He will be left behind, without a doubt, because Yu doesn't like himself like Xiu does.

For Yu, he is a burden.Ida has been thinking this way, waiting in complete silence and darkness, the fate of being abandoned.Until he was hugged by a pair of big hands and carried on a strong shoulder, his tears could not stop flowing.

"Why are you crying?" This man really didn't know how to comfort the child, his tone was harsh and fierce, but the movement of wiping the tears off his face was surprisingly gentle.

Ida smiled. "Who's crying. It's rain."

Xiu is indeed a peculiar person. He never thinks that he is an unusual person, but he uses warm things time and time again to change the people around him.And this time, it was their turn.

The river water that just melted in spring was freezing to the bone.Xiu struggled desperately, but his limbs gradually became cold.Just when he thought he was going to die, his hand grabbed a dead wood and floated up.

Xiu was breathing quickly, and only now did he start to feel a bit of fear.More importantly, how to get ashore.Yu and Ida are still waiting for him at home.But he never found a chance, until a small boat floated beside him.

"Look, there are people on the sea." When Xiu was picked up, his limbs were frozen and he lost consciousness.

"Thank you very much. Excuse me, where is this place?" Xiu found in a panic that everything around him was strange and terrifying, and even the clothes on people were different from what he had seen before.This is not the East Forest.

"This is the South Sea, welcome to Cinna's hidden treasure." The dark-skinned man showed his snow-white teeth.Xiu's heart sank completely, and his hope was shattered.The Xina family is known as the most xenophobic race, they are never friendly to others.

But unlike what was said in the book, Xiu received a very warm welcome.He couldn't walk, so the two men who caught him carried him into the village on a stretcher, and even the children laughed and cheered around him along the way.

"Please don't laugh. This village hasn't seen anyone from outside for five years. I'm the village chief. You are from the West Forest." The village chief is a gray-haired old man, which made him involuntarily He thought of Grandpa Yabu who raised him.

"Grandpa Yesa, hello, yes. I am from Gelin. Thank you very much for saving me and entertaining me so warmly. It's just that I am in a hurry to go back now. I hope you can tell me the way back." Xiu anxiously explain.

Yu and Ida must be in a hurry.I do not know how long he fell into the water.

Grandpa Yesa pointed to the only road in the village and said to him. "As long as you walk in this direction, no matter what you encounter, you will be able to reach Jiadaishan. You should be able to find the way after that. I went there when I was young, and the West Forest is really a good place."

Xiu ecstatically thanked him, but he also said what Grandpa said next, which made him anxious again.

"However, there is a group of robbers on the road, who have been stationed on the only road leading to the outside world for five years. Since they came, no outsiders have come in this village, and no one has been able to go out."

"Is there no one to expel them?" Xiu finally knew why Cinna was evaluated as xenophobic.It must be the latest revision of the book, which identified the bandit as a Sienna.

"Yes, but none of them came back." Grandpa Yesa's expression became very serious. "If you want to go back, there is only one way."

"Can't we go across the water?" Xiu recalled the way he had come.

"No, the boat can only go with the current, never upstream. This is the rule." Yesa sternly rejected him.

life apart

Xiu, who was rejected by Grandpa Yasa, began to think about how to get through the bandit's line of defense.It is impossible to break through clearly, so how can you get away with it?It was very distressing to him.Even the sea fish feast that the villagers warmly invited him to eat was tasteless.

This fish is very fatty and smoked with cardamom sticks. It has a unique and full taste, and Yu will definitely like it.Thinking of this, Xiu became more and more depressed.I don't know what the rain is doing at the moment?He must be very anxious.

He expected well.Yu is now carrying his luggage, looking anxiously along the river.Yida staggered behind, and when night fell, he set up a tent near the talisman tree to wait for him. "Did you find Xiu? Rain."

"No. Eat more. There's enough food." With a sullen face, Yu desperately added meat and stewed beans to Ida's bowl.Yida knew that he was in a bad mood without looking, so she had to finish the food with all her might, and she was full after a while.

Yu looked at his round belly and couldn't help laughing. "Okay, if you can't eat it, you don't have to hold on."

"I'm sorry." Ida felt that she had become a burden again.

Yu shook his head, remembering that he couldn't see, so he had no choice but to comfort him. "No. Xiu will be very happy to see you. Don't lose weight, but don't force yourself."

This was the first time Ida heard Yu say so much, and laughed.But when he thought of Xiu who had disappeared, his heart sank again.

Xiu was still thinking about how to smuggle there, but this group of robbers came to the village and announced that it had been occupied by Abnahib of the plain.Now the truth is out.However, this also made it extremely difficult for Xiu to go back.

The Sina people have always lived by the sea, relying on the sea to eat the sea, so they must build ships.In addition, he is also very good at some small wooden organs.Ping Yuan must have taken a fancy to this point, and there were organs among the tributes he proposed.

Xiu was hidden in the cellar by the villagers, for fear that he would be discovered by the robbers.Xiu's desire to return to the West Forest was beaten to death by the tragic reality.

"Xiu, why do you want to go back? Isn't it good here?" A child came to deliver his lunch and asked curiously.

"Do you like this place? The village you were born in, the sea you played in, the shells you picked up... Can you forget?" Xiu asked him.

"Ah." The child rubbed the back of his head and smiled silly. "No. I just picked up shells today. Look, they are beautiful."

"Pretty
