Chapter 1013

Yes, it was the first time!

It was the place where they met for the first time. It was the place where Meng's love for Zhang Xiaohua and Zhang Xiaohua's longing for Meng began.

The two unfamiliar men and women suddenly met at that nameless ferry.

That one chance meeting planted the seed that they had to rely on each other in their hearts. That seed was planted so deeply and so discreetly. It was only when they met again five years later that the seed gradually sprouted. And once it sprouted, it was full of vitality. The yearning they had for each other during those five years was turned into fertilizer, allowing their feelings to multiply without restraint.

At this time, perhaps it was not the harvest season, but snuggling in Zhang Xiaohua's arms and standing on the bridge that stretched into the river, Meng tilted her head and looked at the quietly flowing river. She couldn't help but whisper, "Xiaohua, what if my hook didn't hook you that day?

You … won't recognize me? "

Zhang Xiaohua put her hand on Meng's shoulder and looked at the sunset. The orange light scattered on the running water, and she said with certainty, "No!

"Xiaohua …" Meng was very emotional. She hugged Zhang Xiaohua's waist and raised her little face. Zhang Xiaohua smiled and lowered her head, kissing Meng's cherry lips deeply. They tasted the sweetness in each other's hearts.

The cottage by the river was still the same. It seemed that very few people came here. Although Dream hadn't been here for many years, she still cleaned up the dusty cottage with great familiarity. Under the moonlight, Zhang Xiaohua and Dream sat where they had sat five years ago and chatted until the full moon came …

The next morning, the two held hands and went on the road again. Zhang Xiaohua walked through the woods behind the cottage with Meng. The mysterious inhibition was still there. She saw the flaw clearly with her Divine Sense.

Zhang Xiaohua knew that there was nothing inside, so he didn't stop. He used his Qing Gong and went straight to the west. The two of them walked for an hour, but they didn't see any signs of human habitation. They knew that people rarely came here. Using their Divine Sense, they also didn't find anything!

Meng's eyebrows gradually furrowed. Her eyes kept looking around, trying to find the place she remembered. Suddenly, she saw a thick tree. The silver leaves made Meng's eyes light up. She immediately cried out, "Little Blossom, I … I remember it. This … this big tree, I have an impression of it. Master must have brought me here before, or I walked past it!"

Zhang Xiaohua perked up when he heard that. He asked, "Then … Which direction did it come from? Do you still remember?"

Meng looked for a long time and pointed in a direction. She hesitated and said, "Maybe it's this direction."

"Okay, let's go and see!" Zhang Xiaohua said happily.

Zhang Xiaohua held Meng's hand and used her Lightness Skill to continue forward. However, the further they went, the more confused Meng became. Her face gradually turned pale … She looked like she was in pain!

"Meng, what's wrong with you?

Did you remember something? "

Zhang Xiaohua saw this and held Meng's hand. She asked with concern.

"I don't know why. The further we go, the more familiar this scene is. And the more I think about it, the more my head hurts!" Meng gritted her teeth and said.

"This …" Zhang Xiaohua stopped and said worriedly, "Can … can you still walk?"

"Yes, we must walk down this road today …" Meng insisted. "This time, it seems that we are walking in front of others. But … we can't let others ruin everything!"

"Well, that's fine. If you can't hold on because of the headache, let me know!" Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said.

"Aye, okay."

Meng sighed and looked forward. "I don't know what secrets mother has, or what secrets I have to hide. Someone actually erased it in advance."

"I think it's the Tenryū Sect."

Zhang Xiaohua said, "It seems that after we met the Tenryū Sect's patrol team, many things happened.

They must be the ones who did it. "

"But … I'm just the daughter of the Sacred Ambassador. This … how does this affect the Tenryū Sect?"

"How would I know?

Maybe we've arrived … "Zhang Xiaohua was laughing bitterly. Suddenly, she paused and a smile appeared on her face.

"What's wrong?" Meng Qi asked, "Did you think of something?"

"I didn't think of anything. It's just that … we've been in the mountains for so long. I think we've discovered something!"

"That's bad. There are very few people here. Even beasts are rare. What could have happened?

Eh, why did you forget to walk this way? "

"Haha, don't you see the stream here?

If there are people living here, they must be near a water source. Let's follow the stream. Maybe we'll discover something? "

"Ah?

Xiaohua, you … you're amazing. You even know this? "

Amidst the praises of the dream, the two of them continued to walk forward for a long time. Suddenly, smoke rose from a valley in front of them!

"Xiaohua, quick, quick. Look, there are people there!"

"Really?

Don't worry. Let's go and take a look first. The smoke might be from those hunters! "

Was there a need to say more?

After turning around the valley, a small village appeared in front of them. Zhang Xiaohua used her divine sense to look around. There were only about ten families. She then looked around the village. There were no fields.

This village was really small and looked very poor. Every household did not have any walls. They only had mud brick houses and many of them were simple straw huts.

It was almost noon. Some simple chimneys on the roof had begun to emit some smoke. In the small village, there were a few children of three or four years old playing happily. There were no adults watching over them.

"Is it here?" Zhang Xiaohua looked back with concern.

Meng's face was pale. Her brows were tightly knitted. Her small hands were cold and began to tremble slightly. She clenched her teeth and looked at the small village with a complicated expression in her eyes.

At this moment, the children who were playing seemed to have noticed the strangers standing not far away. They all showed vigilance and curiosity. Then, they all rushed away.

A little girl ran into the nearest straw hut. After a while, she held the hand of an old woman and walked out. As she walked, she was still talking and pointing in the direction of Zhang Xiaohua and Meng.

The old woman came out. She shaded her eyes with her hand and looked over for a long time. She did not speak. Then, she waved her hand and signaled them to go over.

Zhang Xiaohua saw that Meng was still at a loss for a while and was surprised for a while. She said with concern, "Let's not think about it first. Go and ask the old woman. Maybe she knows something!"

Meng walked half a step forward. Then, she stopped and held Zhang Xiaohua's hand tightly. Zhang Xiaohua knew that Meng was a little timid. She patted her back and held her hand with her hand to show her encouragement. Then, Meng staggered forward …

The old woman standing at the door held the little girl's hand. Her turbid eyes looked at Zhang Xiaohua and Meng who were gradually approaching. When they got closer, the old woman blinked. There seemed to be surprise and surprise in her eyes. She raised her hand and pointed at Meng. She could not believe it and said, "You … You … Are you Ya?"

"Yes, you must be Ya!" The old woman asked and answered her own question. "You child … Where have you been these years?

Why didn't you come back? "

Meng heard the old woman call her "Ya." Her body suddenly stiffened. Then, as if she was struck by lightning, she trembled violently and murmured, "Yes, I … I am Ya. Ya is me!"

While she was talking, a few younger middle-aged women came out from the other huts. When they saw Meng, they also exclaimed, "Ya … You're still alive?

We … Sigh, where have you been? You've been gone for four … five years! "

"When Granny Qiu passed away, she was still thinking about you."

"Yes, Granny Qiu never closed her eyes. She said that she had let down your mother by losing you!"

"Sigh, you child. You're finally back. Go to Granny Qiu's grave and kowtow to her. Let her rest in peace!"

"Hehe, who is this young man?

Ya, you … "

They all talked at once. Meng's expression kept changing. Then, she held her forehead and fainted in Zhang Xiaohua's arms!

"Ah ~" Zhang Xiaohua was shocked. She hurriedly held Meng in her arms. She was a little flustered.

"Child, don't worry."

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's panic, the old woman said kindly, "Ya has always been like this. She'll be fine after a while.

Hmm, Granny Qiu's hut hasn't been cleaned for many years. You should bring Ya to my house first! "

The other women also showed that they were used to this and came over to help. Zhang Xiaohua didn't need them. She easily carried Meng into the old woman's cottage.

The cottage was not as small as it looked from the outside. It was actually divided into three rooms. The old woman pointed at the hut on the left and said, "This is where I live. Put Ya on the straw. I think she'll wake up in less than an hour."

Zhang Xiaohua entered the hut. It was indeed small. There was a thick layer of straw on the ground and some animal skins on the straw. Zhang Xiaohua put Meng on the animal skins and checked her meridians with her True Qi. She also checked her pulse. After confirming that there was nothing serious, she walked to the hut in the middle.

The hut was not big. It was very crowded when the women came in.

Zhang Xiaohua bowed and said, "Aunties, this is Granny. I'm Ren Xiaoyao. I'm … Ya's junior brother …"

"Junior brother?" The granny frowned and said, "Where has Ya been for the past few years?"

"Well …" Zhang Xiaohua hesitated. Meng fainted when she came to the village. She wasn't sure if she had anything to do with the village. Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua didn't want to tell anyone about Meng.

The granny didn't say anything. The other women laughed and said, "Young man, Ya was born here. She grew up here. We are very familiar with Lady Aya …"

"Lady Aya?" Zhang Xiaohua asked curiously, "Is … is she Ya's mother?"
