My master said that she should be fine. Although he was a bit confused, he was very strict in his affairs. I still believed him on this point. When I mentioned Grandma Liu, I felt a little down.

Seeing that I wasn't happy, Master patted me on the shoulder and said, "Little brat, be happy. Men aren't like this." I smiled and said, "It's fine, Master. I'm already so old."

That night, Master and I were discussing the journey. Senior Sister came down from upstairs, but her face was still expressionless. She sat down and said to us, "Master, Junior Brother, I also want to go." I was rather surprised, Senior Sister had been hugging the infant for the past two days and didn't let it go when Master said that he would take her out. I said, "Senior Sister, it's better if you don't go. After all, there are two people in the store that we have to take care of."

The Master nodded to the Senior Martial Sister, who remained silent for a while before saying, "Junior Martial Brother, you don't need to go. Let me go. I just want to go out and relax. My mind has been a mess these past few days." I know that this infant still had a great influence on Senior Sister, to the point that it made her seem like another person.

I looked at my master and said, "I think it's best if you decide." Master looked at me before looking at the expressionless Senior Sister and said, "Both of you can go." Senior Sister and I uttered 'ah?' at almost the same time. The Master said, "You two don't have to worry about the store. If there's no business, there's no business. The child can be taken care of by the foolish aunt, and in a few days, Juche and Ju E will be here."

I am very happy. Although I have only met those senior brothers once, because we are fellow brothers, my heart still feels very close to them, especially to you. Even though we cannot communicate using words, we do not feel estranged from each other.

I said, "Great, it would be great if they could come. Master, are they going to join the archaeological team?" His Master nodded. "That's right, this mission is quite difficult. Your uncle-master is too old to do anything about it, so he arranged for them to come over. Let's take advantage of the fact that they haven't been here for a few days to settle Senior Liu's family matters."

Senior Sister and I began to prepare our luggage, saying that it was our luggage, but in fact it was nothing much, because Grandma Liu's daughter's house wasn't too far from here, and Master and I both had our things in a bag. Senior Sister only had a small bag with a change of clothes in it, and after thinking for a while, she also stuffed it into my bag.

After dinner, the master happily chatted with the foolish aunt, talking nonsense. The silly aunt didn't seem to be in much better condition, whatever the master said, she just listened and giggled. I'm quite worried, the foolish aunt will take good care of herself and the baby.

That night, his master heated up the brick bed and slept soundly on it. He could hear her snoring upstairs and his senior sister took care of him very well.

The next morning, the three of us left in high spirits. Master specifically caught a taxi, and although it was not far from here to the countryside, the taxi was still quite expensive, especially for a stingy person like Master. Looking at Master's happy expression on the front passenger seat, I couldn't help but ask, "Master, what's the matter?"

His Master said, "Then you don't know about it. This is a matter between adults, so children shouldn't ask about it." After saying that, he closed his eyes and happily hummed a little tune. However, that sound was really unpleasant to hear. That was good as well. It saved me and Senior Sister from sleeping in the car.

The afternoon arrived. Originally, it would not take that long to get there. However, the road was not easy to walk on. The driver did not dare to drive too fast, so he accidentally fell into the ditch.

It's not too far from my hometown. It's been a few years, and time flies so fast. I'm standing on the dark land of the countryside, and although I'm just a teenager, I've been through so much. I feel like the world has changed." Master came over and patted me on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, kid.

At the entrance to the village, a middle-aged man was waiting for someone. I recognized him from far away as Grandma Liu's son-in-law, Liu Kun. He looked no different from an ordinary farmer, except that his hair was a little gray.

His Master's eyesight was also very good, so she called out from a distance, "Kun'er, this is …" Liu Kun also waved his hand and stood up. He looked at us from afar, and after recognizing us, he ran towards us with glee. His expression was as if he had seen a family member he hadn't seen for a long time.

I don't know if it's because I'm worried about my daughter, or because I have a deep friendship with my master, but it took me a while to let go of my master. Senior Sister and I looked at each other in dismay.

His master pushed him away with great difficulty and said, "Don't worry about Kun Zi, I won't come here anymore. Xuan Xuan will be fine." One of them pulled me over and said, "Remember this kid?" Liu Kun rubbed his eyes and looked at me. "I don't remember. Is this your disciple?" His Master laughed and said, "This is your mother-in-law's only disciple. You don't remember, but I can't blame you. It's been so many years." I said, "Uncle Liu, I'm Sun Hao." Liu Kun came over and patted my shoulder. "I remember now. At that time, you were only so young, but now you're already a young man." His master then introduced his Senior Sister and the group of them headed home.

The traffic here was very smooth, and there were very few outsiders, so when they came here, it basically attracted the attention of people they did not know, especially so for Senior Sister. Although she was not dressed very well, she had a light and agile temperament, coupled with her beautiful features, it attracted the attention of many people, causing them to whisper amongst themselves. One of them, an uncle, was dressed very sloppily, staring at Senior Sister with an almost absent-minded expression, his mouth agape in a manner that did not even blink as I whispered into her ear, "Hey, Senior Sister, what do you think about that uncle?"

The Senior Sister said, "I can't guess." I chuckled. "He must be an old bachelor. Otherwise, how could he stare at you like that?" The Senior Sister understood what I meant, and fiercely pinched my waist. "Junior Brother, you've even learned divination. When did Master teach you?" I rubbed my waist and said, "It's not a divination, it's an experience. Old Song of my village is just like that, dressed like a stick, and his hair is like a chicken's nest, his pants are all mud. It seems that he hasn't had a wife for a long time and has no one to help him take care of him. The Senior Martial Sister smiled and said, "Junior Martial Brother, you are still young and have plenty of experience in the martial arts world. If you have time, please pass it on to me."

Arriving at the Liu residence, his Master glanced at him and said, "Hm, not bad. Kun Zi, your family's happy days are coming." I said in my heart that my master was really skilled. I didn't see anything, but I saw the neighbor's dog put his head on the door and stick out his tongue at us.

Entering the courtyard, Uncle Liu called out as he entered, "Motherf * cker, Uncle Xu is coming." With that, a woman walked out. Although her clothes didn't look expensive, they were washed very white. She was clean from head to toe and had combed her hair meticulously. This was Granny Liu's daughter, Liu Guizhi.

Enjoying us warmly, we entered a clean and tidy house. One could tell what kind of person the mistress of the house was, even though it was an ordinary house, it gave people a comfortable feeling and a sense of family warmth.

They sat down and poured tea for us. The couple accompanied Master, who introduced me and Senior Sister. Liu Gui Zhi looked at me carefully and said, "This is the child that my mom always mentioned. She's already this old." Her expression was a little sad, perhaps because I thought of Grandma Liu, I also felt a kind of kinship with her, after all, I had long treated her as my own family.

In fact, Grandma Liu had said that her woman hadn't studied for many years, so it seemed that Grandma Liu had taught her well since she was young. Besides, for a kind and kind person like Grandma Liu, her child would definitely not be far off. Liu Gui Zhi and I would soon be busy cooking, but Senior Sister Liu and I would follow to help, but she wouldn't let us.

His master asked where Uncle Liu's daughter was. Uncle Liu sighed and said: "Xuan Xuan is in the back room. He didn't sleep well last night. That's why he fell asleep." He took a long drag on his cigarette. I could see the gloom on his face as the smoke curled around him. It seemed that this only child was very important to the couple.

His Master drank the tea in her cup in one gulp, then she waved her hand and said, "Kun Zi, don't worry. I'm already here, what are you worried about? Come, let's go take a look at our child."

When we opened the door, there was a girl who was about the same age as me lying on the brick bed. She didn't seem to have changed much since we were young, but she was still as dark and thin as before. Her nostrils were still pointed forward, and I sighed. No wonder when I was young, Grandma Liu said that she would be my daughter-in-law. She was afraid that I wouldn't be able to marry her.

I didn't notice anything amiss, so I activated the fox's blood. I could vaguely see that there was something dark on her forehead. This was the sign of her body being extremely weak and unlucky.

Her master sat beside her, reached out to take her pulse, and said to Uncle Liu, "Relax, it's fine. Uncle will treat the child tomorrow. Don't wake her up now, she's still weak." The few of us gently closed the door and went out.

They started to talk about the past. Master and Grandma Liu had known each other since a long time ago, so they could be considered friends for years. Grandma Liu only had this daughter under her, so Master and Uncle Liu's family were very familiar with each other, but I was still a child at that time.

Senior Sister and I went out for a round out of boredom. Master told us not to go too far, so I agreed. I said in my heart that Master was too careful, we were both so old, are we still worried about being taken by the wolves? We chatted as we walked, there were not many people outside now, and occasionally they looked at us for a while, and then they saw the shaggy old man again, wandering about as if he were waiting for something, and when he saw us come out he looked at us furtively, but not so openly, and I've seen a lot of people like that, and there have to be a few of them in any village, and it didn't matter.
