No matter how strong Mo Wen was, the moment he stepped into the house, tears involuntarily welled up in his eyes.
Qin Xiaoyu nervously tugged at the corner of Mo Wen's shirt. She lowered her head and hid behind Mo Wen like a shy deer.
The figure in the kitchen turned around. It was a middle-aged woman. She was wearing old, coarse clothes, but they were very clean, almost spotless.
"Little Shitou, you're finally willing to go home. Why are you foolishly standing at the door? Quickly come in and sit down. This young lady is so beautiful. Come, come, come in and have a seat. Don't stand on ceremony, just treat it as your own home. "
Mo Wen's mother looked at Qin Xiaoyou carefully. Then, she smiled and held her hand as they walked into the house. How could a mother not understand why her son had brought a lady home?
"Hello, Auntie. My name is Qin Xiaoyu," Qin Xiaoyu said softly, her face red and her head lowered.
Originally, she wanted to call her auntie, but she couldn't bring herself to do so. It was because Mo Wen's mother looked too young. On the surface, she seemed to be only 30 years old. Although she was wearing coarse clothes and was dressed very simply, she felt that Mo Wen's mother was like a rich lady.
He was a dignified and noble person. Even if he was dressed like a beggar, he still looked very noble.
Mo Wen's mother was very young, dignified and noble. She was definitely a rare beauty.
Perhaps Mo Wen had been spending so much time with his mother that this feeling had become a habit. However, Qin Xiaoyou had a sense of amazement. She even suspected that Mo Wen's mother was born a noble lady and had married into this village.
"Your mom is so beautiful."
Qin Xiaoyou tugged at Mo Wen's sleeve and said softly. Her temperament and appearance could practically play the role of the Empress Wu Zetian. There was actually such an outstanding person in a village in the wilderness.
Upon hearing this, Mo Wen was slightly stunned. He looked at his mother carefully and suddenly realized that time seemed to have not left many traces on his mother's body. Ever since he was young, his mother had not changed much.
However, the spiritual energy in this space was rich, and the scenery was picturesque. Naturally, it would be very nourishing. It was not a bad thing that his mother could take care of him so well.
"Little Shitou, why don't you introduce this girl to me? If you bring her home, mother will like her very much."
After pulling Qin Xiaoyou to sit down, Mo Wen's mother said with a smile. Little Rock was Mo Wen's pet name. Mo Wen's mother had always called him that since he was young.
"Mom, her name is Qin Xiaoyu. She's the daughter-in-law I found for you. Do you like her?" Mo Wen said with a smile. In the past, if he found a girlfriend, even if he brought her home, he wouldn't be able to be so calm. But now, his mentality was different.
"Of course I like her. To be able to take a fancy to our Little Shitou's girl means that she has good taste. Of course I like her. However, our family is just a country bumpkin. Miss, you won't mind, right? " Mo Wen's mother sized up Qin Xiaoyou. A look of surprise flashed in her eyes. Even Mo Wen did not notice the change in her expression.
"Auntie, as the saying goes, experts come from deep in the mountains. It is my good fortune that Mo Wen has taken a liking to me. Why would I despise him? As long as you don't despise me, I'm content. "
Qin Xiaoyou clasped her hands together. She felt a little uneasy. She was most worried that Mo Wen's mother would not like her and would not allow her to be with Mo Wen. However, from the looks of it now, Mo Wen's mother was not a difficult person to talk to.
"You're such a sweet girl," Mo Wen's mother chuckled.
"Mom, where's Xiang 'er? You've been back for so long. Why haven't I seen her?"
Mo Wen looked around the house but did not find Xiang 'er, whom he had missed for a long time. When he mentioned Xiang 'er, Mo Wen's gaze softened.
Qin Xiaoyou was curious. What kind of person could actually make Mo Wen show such an expression?
"Her? She slipped out just now. I don't know where she has gone now."
Mo Wen's mother had not finished speaking when two whimpering sounds came from the door. A small head popped out from behind the door. Half of its body was hidden. It seemed to be very shy.
"Xiang 'er, come quickly and let me hug you."
Mo Wen looked at the small figure behind the door and immediately beamed. He stretched out his arms in an exaggerated gesture of hugging.
Ying!
There was a flash of white light. With a whoosh, a small figure appeared in Mo Wen's arms. It kept rolling around in his arms like a spoiled child. It was very intimate.
"What a beautiful little fox."
A bright light flashed in Qin Xiaoyou's eyes. She stood up involuntarily and wanted to touch the white fox in Mo Wen's arms.
It turned out that the small figure was an exquisite and petite little fox. Its entire body was pure white without a single strand of mixed fur. It was crystal clear and its body was spotless. Even snowflakes were not as pure as it. It had a pair of large eyes that sparkled like two gems. It had a pink nose and a small mouth. It was pink and adorable.
Once the little fox appeared, the entire house was filled with a delicate fragrance. The fragrance was neither strong nor weak. It was rather pleasant and made people feel relaxed and refreshed. Its name was Xiang 'er. That was how it got its name.
Women naturally had no resistance to such beautiful and adorable things. Moreover, Xiang 'er was such a unique and intelligent little fox. Qin Xiaoyou instantly wanted to snatch the little fox from Mo Wen's arms and hold it in her arms.
Unexpectedly, the little fox was very agile. With a roll, it dodged Qin Xiaoyou's hands. Then, it lay on Mo Wen's shoulder and seemed to be very displeased as it called out to Qin Xiaoyou.
"Let me hug you. Just for a while."
Qin Xiaoyou extended a slender finger. She had a fawning look on her face.
However, the little fox completely ignored her. She hugged Mo Wen's neck and kept rubbing her face against his.
"Xiang 'er, her name is Qin Xiaoyou. She will be a member of our family in the future. Why don't you give her a hug?"
The little fox was rather intelligent. Mo Wen knew that she could definitely understand what he was saying. In reality, Xiang 'er had been Mo Wen's best friend since he was young. She had accompanied him as he grew up. When Mo Wen was still a baby, Xiang 'er's existence was in his memories. At that time, he was in the cradle and Xiang' er was sleeping beside him. In his childhood, Xiang 'er seemed to occupy his entire world.
However, now that he had grown up, Xiang 'er had not. She was still so exquisite and petite.
His mother said that Xiang 'er was a spiritual fox that his father had saved deep in the mountains. Spiritual foxes were human and had a grateful heart. In order to repay the debt of saving her life, she had stayed in their house and had never left.
This was the only thing his mother had ever said about his father. Other than that, she did not mention anything else. No matter how much Mo Wen asked, it was useless.
Mo Wen had always felt that the word 'father' did not exist in his heart. It was because he had never seen his father. His mother only said that his father had died before he was even born and that he was a short-lived ghost.
When Mo Wen said this, Xiang 'er unwillingly extended her pink paws, indicating that Qin Xiaoyou could hug her.
Qin Xiaoyou immediately beamed with joy. She snatched Xiang 'er over and hugged her in her arms. Who knew that before she could hug her firmly, Xiang' er would slip out of her arms with a whoosh and return to Mo Wen's arms once again. At the same time, she squeaked at Qin Xiaoyou, seemingly saying that she had already hugged her and could not be hugged again.
Then, she ignored Qin Xiaoyou and kept rolling around in Mo Wen's arms.
Qin Xiaoyou looked at her empty hands. She wanted to cry but had no tears. She had not even had the chance to hug her and the little fox had already run away.
Mo Wen smiled helplessly. He hugged Xiang 'er's head and kissed it. Since he was young, Xiang' er had only clung to him. Other than him and his mother, no one else in the village could touch her. Being able to let Qin Xiaoyou hug her was already very good treatment.
Because Mo Wen had returned, Mo Wen's mother added a few more dishes in the kitchen. The family gathered in the small courtyard and had lunch.
The little fox was exceptionally obedient. When it was time to eat, it squatted on Mo Wen's lap. There was also a small bowl in front of it with food in it. It ate very softly, like a reserved young lady. Occasionally, when it saw something delicious, it would extend its shiny little paws and stuff it into Mo Wen's mouth.
Qin Xiaoyou sat at the dining table and played with the rice in her bowl. Her entire attention was on Xiang 'er. Seeing how close Xiang' er and Mo Wen were, her eyes were full of envy, jealousy, and hatred. There was actually such a cute and psychic white fox in the world. It was so adorable that it made her face bleed.
While they were eating, Mo Wen gave a simple explanation of why he had not returned during the previous summer break. He had mainly found an excuse. He did not know how to start talking about his experiences, and he could not tell her either.
Mo Wen's mother did not ask much. She only talked about some family matters during the meal.
After the meal, Mo Wen's mother tidied up a house for Qin Xiaoyou. At home, Mo Wen was still very well-behaved. He did not stay with Qin Xiaoyou.
In the afternoon, Mo Wen took the initiative to roll up his sleeves and help with the farm work. In a village like theirs, life was all self-reliant. They farmed and weaved their own clothes. His mother was the only one in the family. It was easy to imagine how hard it was for a woman to support the family.
Originally, Mo Wen had wanted to bring his mother to live outside and enjoy life in a bustling city. In the end, his mother did not agree. She said that she was used to life here and was prepared to stay in the village for the rest of her life. Mo Wen felt very helpless about this. Here, even if he had money, it was useless. Also, he could not go outside and call a group of people to serve his mother. He was afraid that he would destroy the peace of this paradise.
Fortunately, he had Xiang 'er to accompany his mother at home. Xiang' er was also an expert hunter. Every five minutes, she would bring back some prey from the mountains. So, the family was not very difficult, and life was more leisurely.
At night, Mo Wen did not cultivate. Instead, he had a good night's sleep. He could not feel the warmth of home normally. He did not want to spend his time cultivating. As usual, Xiang 'er slept beside Mo Wen. Sometimes, she even acted as Mo Wen's pillow.
While Mo Wen was sleeping soundly, Xiang 'er quietly opened her eyes. She scrutinized Mo Wen for a while. Then, she pulled open his clothes. A small bronze compass fell out. It was the eight trigram that Mo Wen had picked up at the construction site.
Xiang 'er looked at the eight trigram hanging on Mo Wen's chest. Her face revealed a very human-like expression. She pulled the eight trigram off Mo Wen's neck, then jumped off the bed and walked to Mo Wen's mother's room next door.
Mo Wen was still sleeping soundly. He did not react at all to Xiang 'er's big movements. It was as though he was dead asleep. (To be continued.)
