There's something wrong with my master.

My voice is a little hoarse, so I put a cup of warm tea at my lips, which is just the right temperature.

Yun Changsheng drank the tea to moisten his throat, then stood up and put the teacup down.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Master."

"You were telling me a story, but you fell asleep while you were telling it. Maybe you were too distracted to suppress your inner demons, so you were a little tired, so you slept a little longer this time."

Is that right?

Yun Changsheng was stunned. He was a little dazed after sleeping for three days and didn't react immediately.

"I...seem..."

"Well, I didn't sleep well. I think I had a nightmare."

"...?"

Although Yun Changsheng was confused, he did not refute. Since his master said it was a nightmare, it must be a nightmare.

He just glanced at Lin Duoduo's shoulder from the corner of his eye, and saw that her dress was wrinkled.

"I was sleepwalking." Lin Duoduo explained again, and her body flashed, and the lake blue dress turned into a moon-white Taoist robe.

The hull suddenly shook slightly.

Yun Changsheng only felt the storage ring on his hand getting hot, and the Yunxue sword suddenly appeared.

The sound of swords could also be heard from under the boat, complementing the sound of the Yunxue Sword.

Sword lights fell from the sky, sharp and radiant.

After the Yunxue Sword trembled and made a few sword sounds, it flew around the entire ship and then flew back to the storage ring.

"Master, what is this?"

"It may be that the owner of this generation of Xueyun Sword happened to pass by here."

"Snow Cloud Sword?"

"Yunxue and Xueyun are originally a pair of male and female swords. Yunxue is Tianxue's sword, and Xueyun is Tianyun's sword."

Yun Changsheng: ...

Tianyun and Tianxue, two old masters of the Hidden Immortal Sect, are quite skilled in playing around. The swords they carry are actually couple swords.

He didn't think much about it, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into that handsome young man again.

"Master, you were in such a hurry a few days ago, how come you have time to appreciate the mountains and rivers now?"

Yun Changsheng looked at Lin Duoduo, who had been sitting on the edge of the boat at some point, and walked over to sit with her.

"I told you long ago that you were anxious because you hadn't seen your family for thirteen years, so I hurried a little."

Lin Duoduo's pair of jade feet were hanging in the air over the edge of the boat, and her tone was cold.

It’s been three days.

Your fiancée has arrived.

Parents’ orders and matchmaker’s words, how... melodramatic.

Just like the storybook you wrote.

She complained a few words in her heart, and looked at Yun Changsheng with her beautiful eyes with a bit of hostility.

If this guy hadn't been dizzy with the sword, how could he have missed out?

The day the fiancée arrived, that’s when this guy started nibbling and biting her on the boat!

"How long will it take to arrive if we fly this way?"

"Too slow? Then speed up!"

The speed of the ship suddenly increased, piercing the sky.

Because the boat was spacious, Yun Changsheng did not feel seasick even when the speed increased.

This made Lin Duoduo, who wanted to see him make a fool of himself, very unhappy. He suspected that his dizziness a few days ago was fake just to have a legitimate fiancée.

It could be a thousand miles, it could be tens of thousands of miles.

The boat was going so fast that Yun Changsheng didn't know how far it had flown.

After two hours, we arrived at the mountain and the village.

The forest is lush and green.

At a glance, there are several towering ancient trees. The trees are so thick that it takes two or three people to hug them.

In the distance, smoke from cooking fires rose up, and more than a hundred households were located in uneven distribution.

The houses of better-off families are bright and spacious, with a large yard and chickens, ducks and geese. Some families also raise a few sheep and grow some vegetables in the fields.

Those with poorer financial conditions only have shabby huts that are barely habitable.

If there is no famine, the staple food of people here is steamed corn bread, and meat is used for ancestor worship and New Year.

A few villagers passed by carrying hoes on their backs. Seeing that Lin Duoduo and Yun Changsheng were not dressed like mountain people, they turned back and looked at them a few more times.

Someone even asked with a smile: "Are you here to visit relatives?"

"Yes." Yun Changsheng also responded with a smile.

Several villagers were muttering to themselves, wondering which kid must have made it big and come here to pick up his family to live in the city.

As he spoke, his tone was filled with envy and sourness.

"Damn it, look at them, and then look at the kid at home, he gets into a fight every other day, I'll give him a good beating when I get home!"

I don't need a reason to beat my son...

Yun Changsheng observed a three-second silence for the young man.

"Master, we're here."

"Ah."

The two of them were walking.

Lin Duoduo looked at the house in front. It was not as spacious as the wealthy families in the mountains, but it was not shabby either.

It is quite satisfactory.

Yun Changsheng pushed open the door that was filled with his childhood memories, and saw a young woman drying clothes and smiled.

It seems that the eldest brother who said he would wander around in his place has already found his eldest sister-in-law.

This feeling is very novel.

The thirteen years in the mountains seemed like a flash, yet it turned out to be such a long time.

The fat boy who had his umbilical cord wrapped around his neck and was born more than a month early is now married.

"Does it look good?"

"Ah."

"Slut."

Yun Changsheng came back to his senses and realized that what he was looking at was a bellyband... There were some suspicious marks on it that hadn't been washed clean...

Big brother... Awesome...

There is no one at home at the moment, he must have gone out to work.

Yun Changsheng's steps were no longer slow, and he felt inexplicably anxious.

Lin Duoduo followed quietly behind him.

Slowly, voices were heard.

The mountain people chatted while working.

Yun Changsheng took a quick glance and immediately saw the woman who still had some color left in her.

Older than I remembered.

Time eventually defeats beauty.

His pace suddenly quickened, he walked over, patted the woman's shoulder, and then said with a smile: "Mom, open your mouth."

"Xiaoyi?"

"How much did this piece of clothing cost, you bastard! With this material and this workmanship, you're not going to live like this, are you?!"

Li Niang was about to preach when she felt something cold in her mouth. A pill entered her mouth and melted as soon as it entered her mouth.

"Xiao Yi? Mother, take another look at who I am?"

Yun Changsheng walked over, hugged the woman, interlocked their necks, and gently stroked the fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes with his cheek.

There was a flash of reminiscence in his eyes, with a hint of admiration, very faint and very pure.

"Xiao...Xiao...Lang?"

The voice was trembling.

"It's me, mother."

"Why didn't mother move?"

Yun Changsheng knew that his mother didn't like this village very much, although people at that time were trying to survive...

And with his master taking care of the immortal from the Red Dust Sect, he thought Li Niang should be living a pretty good life in the city now.

Unexpectedly, after asking Master, I learned that he was still in this small mountain village.

"I'm afraid you...I'm afraid you...can't find your way home."

Chapter 33: Which one is the legal wife?

As a mother, Li Niang has done well enough.

After the family's breadwinner passed away, she supported the family alone and raised two children.

During the famine, Yun Changsheng was forced to wander around out of desperation.

The rule set by the most prestigious person in the village at that time was that every household should leave one child to carry on the family line, and everyone agreed to keep the eldest son.

The second son and daughter still disappear from time to time.

Not every family has the heart to exchange their children for someone else’s. Some would rather starve to death than let their children live.

The family didn't do anything, and the child is still dead, so he must have been abducted by someone from the same village...

True.

When Yun Changsheng was forced to wander around, he wondered why it wasn't his eldest brother who went to wander around.

Human nature is selfish.

If there was a 50% chance of survival in the village, then it was freezing and snowy outside, and there was a group of bandits waiting to be cooked.

If you go out, there's a good chance you won't survive.

However, when the elder brother named Yun Yi said he would wander in his place, everything finally became clear.

Moreover, all the old people and children disappeared secretly at that time.

In order to prove that the family had indeed exchanged sons, Li Niang used Yun Changsheng to exchange brother Yu back home in broad daylight.

It’s chilling to think what kind of reputation she will have when the famine ends.

After Yun Changsheng went out to wander, this woman must have been tormented day and night.

All Yun Changsheng can do is to fight to survive and give each other a chance to make up for this mother-son relationship.

But if he hadn't met Lin Xi, he might never have had this opportunity in his life...

"Mother."

"Ah."

"Mother."
