Chapter 10 Homecoming
Ling Jiujiu was not interested in sugar, but was curious about the lantern-like things hanging on the big green mules. The lantern was the size of a basketball, and it was translucent like a frosted glass. It was reflected in the light, and the light was reflected like a wave of water, looking mysterious and beautiful.
Ling Jiujiu walked a few more steps to the lantern. She raised her hand and wanted to touch the lantern, but was stopped by a big man with a beard next to her.
"Hahaha, little girl, you can't touch this thing. Our caravan relies on it to make a living. If you break it, the trouble will be great!" The bearded man pinched Ling Jiujiu's fat face and said with a laugh. The loud voice made Ling Jiujiu's eardrums a little ached.
"Uncle, what is that thing?" Ling Jiujiu was not used to other people's touches, but she did not resist. She just tilted her head and avoided the strong man's hand, and asked in a slight manner as a child.
"Hahaha," a cute and well-behaved child will always like it. When the strong man saw Ling Jiujiu cute, he laughed and said, "This thing is called the beast-driving lamp. As long as there is it, the human breath will not be easily discovered by monsters. We rely on it to dare to travel around the world!"
"Is this thing very expensive?" Ling Jiujiu said again.
"Of course, this beast-driven lamp costs 100 low-grade spirit stones. Little girl, do you know what spirit stones are?" the strong man bent over and asked Ling Jiujiu.
Ling Jiujiu shook her head.
"It's this thing!" The strong man took out a small cloth bag from his arms, carefully took out a sapphire-like thing from it and handed it to Ling Jiujiu's eyes and said.
As soon as the blue stone approached Ling Jiujiu, Ling Jiujiu felt that his mind became much clearer, but before Ling Jiujiu could come back to his senses, the strong man had already put away the spirit stone.
"Old Liu, you're showing off your spirit stone again!" The village chief walked out of the crowd, holding a cigarette puff in his hand and a smile on his face.
"What does it mean to show off? Isn't this seeing this little doll open her eyes to her before seeing the spirit stone?" The strong man named Lao Liu said with a smile.
"Tsk! What's the spirit stone? We Xiaojiu are still the children of immortals. What's your spirit stone? Even Xiaojiu looks down on me!" The village chief waved the pipe in his hand and said jokingly.
"Ah? She is that Xiaojiu? Wasn't she still stupid when I came last time? Why is it okay for me to come back this time?" Old Liu looked up and down at Ling Jiujiu in disbelief.
"My Xiaojiu is not stupid, she is so smart! You even say that you have knowledge every day, but you don't know that the children of immortals are different from those of us mortals!" said the village chief again.
Old Liu laughed out loud. After laughing, he seemed to remember something, and then said, "When I talk about the immortal, I remembered something. A few days ago, I heard in the business that this immortal seemed to be going to Lin'an City to choose an apprentice. As long as I can be taken by the immortal, I can be taken back to be a god. Didn't you still let me pay attention to this matter? Judging from my memory, I almost forgot!"
The village chief's eyes lit up after hearing Lao Liu's words.
"Are you saying true?" the village chief asked excitedly.
"No, I can still lie to you about this matter! I heard from a manager of the An family! You know the An family! It's the An family that has produced an immortal. How can his manager say false?" Old Liu said.
"Oh, okay! OK! Xiaojiu's child has always been a new heart disease for me! We can afford to raise a child in our village, but she is not a child in the village. It would be a pity for her to stay in this poor valley for the rest of her life! I used to think of sending her back to treat her, but now I have recovered, but I have to send her home to meet her parents. If I can send her home, I will be worthy of my benefactor!" The village chief said excitedly.
In the eyes of the villagers, the gods and immortals are all from a family. As long as Ling Jiujiu is sent to the place where the gods live, the gods will naturally help Ling Jiujiu find her parents.
This was a major event, and the village chief immediately summoned several prestigious people in the village to discuss the matter of sending Ling Jiujiu "home". Although everyone was reluctant to let Ling Jiujiu go, they still decided that Uncle Wu would escort Ling Jiujiu and follow the convoy to Lin'an City to find immortals.
Ling Jiujiu knew about this decision that night. Aunt Wu packed her luggage for Ling Jiujiu with tears in her eyes. In fact, she was the one who was the one who was most reluctant to leave Ling Jiujiu, but she also knew that Ling Jiujiu was different from them. Ling Jiujiu was the child of a god and would always have to go back to the pile of gods.
Ling Jiujiu was speechless about the word "going home". She heard Xuanwu talk about the Ling family. In her opinion, she would be taken to Guihua Village and her meridians were blocked for a reason. If she really exposed her identity, it would be a good fortune. Maybe the person who wanted to harm her would kill her again when she heard her news.
But Ling Jiujiu would not stay in Guihua Village because of fear of death. She didn't know if she was in the game. In fact, she was 80% sure that she had traveled through time, but whether she was in the game or traveled through time, Ling Jiujiu has never been a coward. No matter where she was, she would not live in vain and live here, praying that those people would not find her in this life.
Gouzi was very happy when she learned that Ling Jiujiu was leaving, but not long after, Gouzi became unhappy because Aunt Wu was afraid that Ling Jiujiu would not be able to adapt to the sudden departure of Guihua Village, so she asked Gouzi to Lin'an City with Ling Jiujiu so that she could take care of Ling Jiujiu anytime and anywhere and play with Ling Jiujiu so that Ling Jiujiu would not miss home.
"If you meet a monster, you must protect Xiaojiu. If the monster wants to eat people, you can stand in front of Xiaojiu. In this way, Xiaojiu can escape when the monster eats you!" Aunt Wu told the dog earnestly.
After hearing his mother's words, Gouzi was in a bad mood. He only felt ten thousand alpacas whizzing past his heart, trampling his fragile little heart into devastation.
"Mom, tell me the truth, am I really your biological child?" Gouzi asked his mother with his heart covering her mouth.
The dog's questioning was exchanged for a big slap. Aunt Wu was too lazy to say more to Gouzi. After beating Gouzi, she continued to prepare the dry food and snacks she wanted to eat on the way for Ling Jiujiu.
