Chapter 124 – Mother and Daughter Reunion

Chapter 124 – Mother and Daughter Reunion

“Have you forgotten that the third girl followed the immortals, the third girl is also an immortal now, so naturally she can grow up beautiful.”

Several people surrounded Xu Chuniang talking endlessly, curious eyes could not stop sweeping towards her.

Every few years, an Immortal would come to a nearby village and take away one or two children who were said to be capable of becoming Immortals.

But after so many years, no one had ever returned.

Xu Chuniang was also the first to come back from cultivating immortality, so how could they not be curious.

“Third girl let me ask you, are you an immortal now too? Can you fly through the sky and live forever?”

The aunt who was the first to recognize Xu Chuniang couldn’t help but ask.

Xu Chuniang shook her head, “I’m not an immortal, I’ve only just embarked on this path. Nor can I fly to heaven and hide from the world and live forever.”

Hearing this, the aunt was a bit puzzled, “Can’t you? I remember when those immortals came, they all flew, I thought you could too ……”

“Aunt, do you know my parents and them, where are they now?”

Xu Chuniang was a little sweaty, and hurriedly interrupted her words to ask the question anew.

It was really that the world knew too little about people who practiced cultivation, thinking that cultivators who could fly through the sky and disappear from the earth were omnipotent.

In reality, cultivators are merely embarking on the path to immortality, but how far they can go on this path depends on their individual talents.

“Look at me, I was so focused on asking questions that I forgot about this.”

The aunt slapped her head, “Some years ago, your parents and they moved to the county town, right in the area of Shuanggui Lane in Ping’an County. You just need to go to Shuang Gui Lane and ask around, you’ll know the exact location.”

Xu Chuniang thanked her aunt and left the Xu Family Village, heading towards Ping’an County Town.

After this change, her mood had calmed down instead, without those feelings of apprehension from earlier.

From the time she embarked on the path of cultivation, Xu Chunniang was destined to have a thin relationship with her parents, becoming a person of two worlds with her parents.

But they are the parents who gave birth to her, people are not grass and trees, who can have no mercy?

Those who choose to send out of the outer disciples, in the life before the exhaustion of the heart, but also is to return to the roots, back to the native land.

The poor and backward Xu family village is not her home, but her starting point.

Xu Chuniang stepped into Shuang Gui Alley, not bothering to ask others, but instead, from the entrance of the alley, she walked all the way to the end of the alley.

Mundane and mundane, a variety of different opinions into the ears.

There were children’s laughter, chickens and dogs barking, old men’s whispers, and the hustle and bustle of the marketplace.

When I passed a large brick house, I suddenly heard a conversation from the yard inside.

“Some days ago, I found a marriage for Qiuzhuang, the other party is a relative of the county governor’s family, with a beautiful appearance and a good personality. But Qiuzhuang that child just won’t.”

“Autumn Harvest is an idea man, he has his own ideas, Mother, don’t worry about it.”

“Alas, I know, but seeing that he is already twenty-one and has not yet married, I am anxious in my heart.

If he doesn’t take a wife, he’s delaying Wuya’s marriage. Wu Ya is about to turn eighteen, and in this world, it’s hard for a woman to get married when she’s older.”

The man was silent, in his heart he agreed with what mother said, but the fourth brother and the fifth sister did not want to get married, he could not do anything about these two people.

Since two years ago, the fourth brother won the scholar, became the master of the scholar, is more and more ideas.

Outside the house, Xu Chuniang’s eyes were wet, it was the voices of mother and second brother.

She pushed open the hidden door, the door “creaked”, startled the two people inside.

“Who is it?”

Mother Xu asked in passing, not really thinking.

They had moved to this Shuanggui Lane for ten years or so, and had long been familiar with the neighbors in the streets and alleys, and it was not uncommon for people to come and visit them.

But see the oldest two look at the direction of the people, expression stunned, a look of seeing a familiar, but do not dare to believe the appearance. Xu mother is a little puzzled, following the line of sight of the second to the door to see, to see clearly the person, her eyes unconsciously blurred.

“You are …… the third girl?”

Despite the fact that she had not seen her for many years, Xu Chuniang had changed tremendously, but Mother Xu instantly recognized the woman in front of her, precisely her oldest three who had left home with the gods since childhood.

Not only because of the birthmark on the woman’s face, but also because of those features of her demeanor and the stubbornness in her eyes, which were the same as when the third girl was small.

“Mother, second brother ……”

Xu Chuniang also choked a little, her mother had aged a lot and her hair was white, she almost didn’t recognize her.

Second brother has also changed his appearance, no longer the naive young man in his memories, now he is nearly thirty years old, his face has added traces of vicissitudes.

“Third sister, it’s really you who came back!”

The second Xu Dacai eyes with tears, the third sister left home when only a little big, now has become an adult.

Memory of the third sister’s face has long been fuzzy, leaving only half a dozen. If not for the birthmark on her face, she would not dare to recognize her.

He originally thought, this life will not be able to see the third sister again, did not think that in his lifetime, there will be a reunion day.

Xu mother’s always sturdy gait, at the moment even appeared to be a bit hobbled, her face full of tears, carefully reached out her hand, gently stroked Xu Chuniang’s cheeks.

“It’s really Third Maiden, seeing that you’re well, Mother is finally able to rest assured.”

Back then, after Xu Chuniang passed the test of the Immortals and was taken away by the Immortals, she was not able to feel good for a long time.

It was said that if you were taken away by the immortals, you could become an immortal, but after so many years, there were at least twenty to thirty children in the nearby villages who had been taken away.

I have never heard of any of the children who went to cultivate immortality coming back, all of them were gone without a trace.

Although it is unlikely that the immortals will cheat people, but who knows what these children were taken away, specifically what they were taken to do?

Seeing the third girl standing in front of her, Xu mother’s heart finally fell.

“It’s good to be back, it’s good to be back ……”

The people inside the house heard the commotion and walked out from the house, and froze at the sight of the scene.

“This is ……”

Xu Dacai hurriedly said, “This is the one I told you about, the third sister who was taken away by the gods since she was a child.”

Turning his head to look at Xu Chuniang again, he somewhat embarrassedly introduced, “This is your sister-in-law.”

Xu Chuniang smiled faintly at the woman, “Good day sister-in-law.”

The woman waved her hand in a somewhat flattered manner, “Third sister is good.”

She was secretly surprised in her heart, this third sister was only eight years old when she left, now she must be at least twenty-four or twenty-five.

But right now, even if she were to say that she was only 17 or 18 years old, she would be willing to believe it.

Mother Xu’s face revealed a pleased smile, ”It’s daytime now, and there’s not many people at home. Oldest four has gone to the county, and won’t be back until the end of the month. Old Five is helping out at the medical center and will be back in the evening. There are also your two nieces and nephews, who will be out of school soon.”

Xu Chuniang nodded, but in her heart there was some doubt. Why had she been back for so long and hadn’t seen Father?
“Mother, where’s Father? Not at home?”

Xu mother’s face revealed a look of sorrow, “Your father was not blessed, couldn’t wait for you to come back this day, he lost his body when he was young, his body bones have not been good, two years ago he suffered from a cold and went away early.”

Xu Chuniang sniffed, her face revealed a mournful look.

In her memory, father was an honest and quiet man, laboring in the dirt all year round, without many days of rest.

Originally, she thought that after she went to the Easy Sect, her father and mother would be able to rely on the hundred taels of silver settlement and live some easy days.

Unexpectedly, dad passed away so quickly.
