Bashu·Qishan.

Traffic flows are endless on the roads in small counties, and people are surging in the clean streets.

The pace of Bashu people is always very slow.

The winter is cold.

People were wearing thick coats and holding various delicacies in their hands. They were eating and laughing, and they were so uncomfortable.

A special aroma is permeated by the street hot pot restaurant.

Chu Xiu did not hide his body, and walked like a mortal.

I explored my divine thoughts and learned from a passerby's phone that this month.

August 2023.

"It has been a total of ten years since I left until I returned."

Chu Xiu frowned and felt complicated.

There are blessings and worries.

Ten years is not enough for monks to close a single pass, but for ordinary people living on the Blue Star, ten years is already one-something of their life.

"Grandpa is he okay?"

Chu Xiu was a little afraid to continue thinking, and was a little afraid to go home.

This is exactly what it means to be timid in the heart of the countryside.

"Wow, he's so handsome."

"His robe looks so high-end, his wig is also good, soft as if it were real."

"Who is he cosplaying? Is it Wei Wuxian?"

"No, no, he is obviously much more handsome than Wei Wuxian."

"He is definitely the best person I have ever seen in my life."

“That’s amazing!!”

The four Sichuan girls gathered together, their faces flushed and their eyes were not blinking. They stared at Chu Xiu and looked at him with various exclamations.

Chu Xiu's appearance is outstanding, and with the fact that he has practiced to the quasi-emperor realm, every inch of his body has reached the perfect level, which is too lethal for them.

"Can you take a photo with us?"

The little girl with a fat baby blushed and came to Chu Xiu timidly, with her eyes dodging and did not dare to look at him.

Chu Xiu glanced at her cell phone and nodded slightly.

Seeing that he agreed,

The little girl was so surprised that she jumped up and hurriedly pulled her best friends to take photos.

After taking pictures.

Several people gathered together to enjoy the photos.

When I looked up again, the figure was gone.

"Where is that little brother just now?"

"Maybe you'll enter that store!"

"Hehe, I'm so lucky today. Being able to take a photo with such a beautiful little brother is enough for me to play for the rest of my life."

Walking on a country road.

The breeze blew the long gray hair hanging around the waist.

Chu Xiu closed his eyes and felt the breeze in his hometown.

"I never thought that Blue Star also has the energy of heaven and earth."

"However, compared with the Sky Continent, the heaven and earth energy here is much thinner."

"Well, since there is the energy of heaven and earth, there should be monks."

"Why do you need to investigate it with your divine thoughts?"

Chu Xiu thought for a while and gave up this idea.

Not far ahead is the village where you have lived since childhood.

Chu Xiu looked away. The village was not big, with only about forty families.

Ten years have passed.

The original brick and tile house has also become a bungalow and a small building...

The road has also become a cement road.

The village has developed very well, but it is no longer as lively as it was back then.

Young people go out to study, work, or do business.

Nowadays, most of the people living in the village are elderly people.

Standing under the yellow fruit tree that the village head holds.

A trace of recollection flashed through Chu Xiu's eyes.

"You were still a sapling when you left."

"Now, you're so old."

Wow ~

Wow ~

An old yellow dog came from somewhere. It stood dozens of meters away, grinning at Chu Xiu.

"Who?"

The door of the closest bungalow was pushed open.

The old woman with sparse and pale hair was about eighty years old, and she walked out tremblingly with her cane.

She squinted her turbid old eyes and looked at the young man under the yellow ancient tree.

Or it doesn't really see it.

She walked closer tremblingly again.

Confusion appeared on his face, covered with wrinkles.

He asked with no certainty: "Child...you...you...you are from Mr. Chu?"

"It's me, Grandma Huang~" Chu Xiu smiled and recognized the person at a glance based on his memory.

"It's really you kid." The old woman smiled in surprise, revealing two rows of gums without teeth. She stepped forward and grabbed Chu Xiu's sleeve and complained: "Child, where have you been going over the years? Do you know how worried your grandfather is that he has almost traveled all over our country in order to find you."

Chu Xiu's pupils shook slightly.

My sudden disappearance must be my grandfather’s most worried!

When Chu Xiu thought of him, an old man, who was willing to search the whole country in order to find himself, he couldn't help but feel sad.

"Hey, you're still late, kid!" Grandma Huang sighed.

Chu Xiu felt nervous when he heard this.

As expected.

Grandma Huang continued, "If you had come back two years ago, you might have seen your grandfather."

"My grandpa died?" Chu Xiu's voice trembled.

His parents died early.

Since childhood, my grandfather has pulled him up.

Grandpa is his last relative on Blue Star.

I never thought that I finally returned to my hometown but got the result I didn't want.

"Two years ago, when the Chinese New Year was about to be over, Mr. Chu fell seriously ill and returned to the village. He went there soon. You didn't come back. The funeral was done together with our village." Grandma Huang looked regretful, "Mr. Chu is a good person, but unfortunately he went there like this."

"Child, it's good to come back. Don't be too sad. People will always get old one day."

"Child, you're hungry! Let's go to grandma's house, the meal is almost done."

Grandma Huang's skinny and old-fashioned hands were tightly clasped on Chu Xiu's wrist and comforted him with a warm voice.

Chu Xiu refused Grandma Huang's kindness.

Standing outside the familiar fence.
