Chapter 58 Funeral
The little monk didn't expect that he would meet the golden cicada as soon as he came out of the little blessed land. Without saying a word, he threw the stone bowl in his hand out.

The golden light of the stone bowl was shining brightly, covering the six-winged golden cicada that was about to escape in an instant.

Like a headless fly, the Golden Cicada rammed wildly inside, but this time it failed to break out of the golden light like last time.

The stone bowl became smaller and smaller, and finally slowly floated back into the little monk's hand, "I finally caught you, hehe~"

The little monk took a look inside.

"Oh, you are seriously injured!"

The six-winged golden cicada in the stone bowl looked very miserable, only two of the six wings were left, and they were all tattered. No wonder the young monk easily covered it with the stone bowl.

In addition, there was a big hole in its abdomen, and transparent blood was still gurgling from the wound.

"What a tragedy, what a tragedy!"

The little monk said while smacking his lips.

It seems that this guy can't get well in Xiaofudi!
"Amitabha, benefactor of the golden cicada, don't run around, stay in the stone bowl of the little monk, and the little monk won't eat you."

The little monk stretched out his hand and saw a transparent fragment of the origin of the blessed land floating out of the stone bowl.

That's right, if there were no fragments of the original source of the blessed land, the six-winged golden cicada would not be able to escape from the small blessed land of Guixu.

Probably because it was really tired, or because it understood what the little monk said, the golden cicada lay quietly on the bottom of the stone bowl and did not move.

"Female benefactor, let's go to Master quickly." After subduing the Golden Cicada, the little monk said impatiently.

Although the little monk usually tells his master that his nose is not his nose and his eyes are not his eyes, he still can't help worrying about his master at this time.

"Okay, let's go!"

Changyue also wanted to return the little monk to the smart monk as soon as possible, and then go home quickly.

There was no distinction between day and night in Xiaofudi, and she didn't know how long she had been there, and she was always concerned about Granny Feng, Sang Ye and A Cai at home.

After the two finished speaking, they galloped in the snow.

However, the smart monk seemed to have a special way to find the young monk. Changyue and the others didn't look for long before the smart monk showed up by himself.

"Female benefactor, thank you for helping me this time. The poor monk is very grateful." The wise monk clasped his hands together, and thanked Changyue solemnly. Changyue seldom saw him look like a real monk.

"Master, you don't need to be like this. The young monk and I have a very close friendship and just take care of each other." Changyue also returned a gift to the wise monk.

"The way of martial arts is so difficult, I hope that the female benefactor and Xuankong will continue to watch and help each other in the future." Smart monk nodded with satisfaction, he had a good impression of the girl in front of him.

"Master, I don't know what happened to Li Changming and the others?" At this time Changyue asked again, at least there were her elder brother and second brother among those people, so it would be unreasonable not to care.

The intelligent monk replied with a smile: "Please rest assured, the benefactor, Li benefactor and others are safe and sound, and have returned to Mingyue City."

It's fine!Changyue breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the words, "Thank you, Master, for your support."

The smart monk waved his hands with a smile, and returned to his unruly appearance, "It's okay, it's okay, it's agreed to help each other, the female benefactor doesn't need to be polite, hehehe..."

"Then master, let's leave here. If you and the little monk have something to ask me, just go to Cangyue Pavilion in Mingyue City and talk to the shopkeeper there." Changyue was anxious to go home, so she proposed leave.

"The benefactor, take care." The wise monk clasped his hands together.

"Female benefactor, take care." The little monk said with tears in his eyes.

"Take care too, and practice hard." Changyue patted the snowflakes that fell on the little monk's hat and said.

After parting with the little monk and the others, Changyue performed lightness kung fu and flew towards the direction of Mingyue City.

When she got outside Daqingshan, she found that Xiaofudi Guixu affected not only Daqingshan, but also the entire surrounding area of ​​Mingyue City. There was heavy snow everywhere, and the number of ordinary people affected by the disaster was unknown.

Although the snowfall outside is not as serious as inside Daqingshan, it is deadly enough for ordinary people.

On the way back to Mingyue City, Changyue saw that many villages were submerged in thick snow, and some uncollected corpses were even lying on the side of the road.

The tall and majestic city walls of Mingyue City still stood tall, and there were guards patrolling the city gates, and city guards were also arranged to guard the city gates. They were wearing thick clothes, but they couldn't help shivering from the cold.

There are many simple shacks built at the gate of the city, and the people who are homeless because of the disaster are huddled inside. They are ragged, and some are even wrapped in a layer of thatch or straw.

Others are huddled in a corner, seemingly closing their eyes and resting their minds, but in fact they have already lost their lives in their sleep.

When Changyue walked to the gate of the city, what he saw was such a hell on earth.

She took a look at the shack and tightened the cloak on her body again, feeling that her body was getting colder.

When Changyue climbed over the wall and returned to her small courtyard, she found that the house was almost the same as when she left. The two bison at the gate were led into the shed in the yard, and the snow in the yard was swept away.

Sang Ye was practicing sword in the yard, and A Cai beside her was imitating her, watching and making gestures. He is also nine years old, and he will be able to practice in a short time.

Just then, Changyue entered the door.

"Miss!!!"

Seeing Changyue come back, Sang Ye threw away the long sword in her hand.

"Miss, you're finally back! I've been so worried about you for the past few days!"

Recently, there have been rumors in Mingyue City that none of the warriors who went to explore the secret realm came back, and the masters and young masters in the mansion also never came back, Sang Ye and Granny Feng were worried.

Changyue patted Sang Ye on the shoulder, and then took off the snow-covered cloak, "Okay, I'm back now, let's go, let's go into the house and talk."

"Hey~" Sang Ye responded cheerfully, "Miss, you go into the house and change your clothes, and the servant will go to boil water for you. You can take a hot bath before talking about anything else."

"Okay, thank you for our mulberry leaves."

"It's not hard work, it's not hard work, A Cai, you can help too!" Sang Ye waved to A Cai while rushing to the kitchen.

"Come on, Sister Sangye!"

A Cai ran to the kitchen in a hurry after hearing the words, as if she had hot wheels on her feet.

When taking a bath, Sang Ye insisted on serving Changyue herself, but Changyue couldn't resist her, so she had to agree.

In the bath water, Changyue added medicine to relieve fatigue and dredge muscles and bones, exuding a burst of fragrance. After soaking the whole body in the bathtub, Changyue sighed comfortably.

come to life!

"Mulberry leaf, where is mother-in-law?" Changyue asked, "In Lihuazhuang?"

While washing Changyue's hair, Sang Ye replied: "Yes, because of the secret realm, many foreign warriors have come to the city recently. Because Lihuazhuang is close to Daqingshan, people often make troubles recently, but mother-in-law is very powerful. Now, anyone who wants to make trouble in Lihuazhuang has to weigh it!"

Changyue nodded, and then asked again: "Is everything okay at home?"

"Hey, whatever is going on at home, it's all good, that damn girl Caizhu didn't even dare to lift her head when she saw me recently!" Speaking of this, Sang Ye's tone was full of complacency, "Oh, that's right, Now Caizhu has changed her name to Lanzhu, hahaha, I laughed so hard!"

"Oh?" Changyue showed surprise, "It seems that she didn't get any good fruit from my Fifth Sister."

"Hmph~" Sang Ye pouted, "Miss Fifth still makes sense."

"You!" Changyue said helplessly, "Why are you so angry?"

"Hee hee~ Of course the miss is used to it!" Said Sang Ye's hand movements became more diligent.

Now that someone was serving her, Changyue enjoyed it with peace of mind. She leaned in the bathtub and let Sang Ye do her hands.

Changyue had just finished taking a shower and was getting dressed when Ah Cai's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

"Miss, the housekeeper is here."

Butler?Changyue was puzzled, the housekeeper seemed to have never been here before.

The chief steward of Li's mansion was the servant of Changyue's grandfather back then. He grew up watching the current patriarch, Li Xuan.

Changyue hurriedly changed her clothes and walked out of the room, only to see an old man with gray hair and serious face standing in the living room.

"Grandpa Jiangang."

Changyue stepped forward to salute the old man.

The head steward was named Li Jiangang, and although he was a servant in the name of the Li family, everyone respected him from the head of the house, Li Xuan, down to the servant girl.

Changyue's grandfather was hunted and seriously injured when he was traveling abroad when he was young. In the end, it was Li Jiangang who went through many twists and turns and risked his life to rescue him.

Moreover, during the years when Li Jiangang was the chief steward of the Li family, he handled things fairly, and clearly defined rewards and punishments. He always handled the affairs of the Li family in an orderly manner.

When Li Xuan was young, he was a swinger brother. He was able to stay in the position of Patriarch without making mistakes for so many years, and he could even be said to be conscientious and conscientious.

Therefore, the younger generations of the Li family will respectfully call Li Jiangang "Grandpa Jiangang".

"Miss Seven."

Li Jiangang returned Changyue Yili. Although he was respected in the Li family, he never showed respect to his master, and always kept in mind his status as a servant (in fact, he was no longer a slave in the Li family).

Seeing that Li Jiangang didn't speak for a while, and his expression seemed a little dazed, Changyue looked at him suspiciously:

"Grandpa Jiangang? I don't know why you are here today..."

"Ah? Oh..." Li Jiangang finally came back to his senses, with an imperceptible sadness in his expression, "Miss Seven, the Patriarch... the Patriarch has gone, Da Furen, please go over."

What?what went?
Changyue didn't realize the meaning of Li Jiangang's words for a while, she looked a little dazed, and subconsciously squeezed the corner of the table next to her.

"Miss Seven, the master has fallen in a secret realm, Madam, please come over." Li Jiangang repeated it again, this time he changed his words, and Chang Yue finally understood the meaning of these words.

Her father is gone!

Changyue felt that her head was suddenly hit by something, and she was dizzy for a while, with only one thought "Li Xuan is dead" circling in her mind!
Chang Yue lived in Li's Mansion for more than ten years, and met Li Xuan only a handful of times except during the New Year and holidays. It would be a lie to say how deep the relationship between them is.

But... this is his father after all.

Changyue has always felt that the friendship between her and Li Xuan is probably not as deep as that of Da Furen, who has no blood relationship with her.

Using the phrase "the most familiar stranger" to describe her relationship with Li Xuan is very appropriate.

But it was such a person who gave birth to himself and raised himself.

And the news came so unexpectedly, Changyue still clearly remembered not long ago, the look of Li Xuan's dismay because of the injury of his beloved horse, and the expression on his face when he forgave his two bison...

However, such a lively person suddenly disappeared.

"Miss! Miss! Miss!"

Changyue was in a trance, until Sang Ye gently shook her arm to call her, and she returned to the cage consciously, and her already pale face became even uglier.

"Grandpa Jiangang, you go ahead, I'll be right there." Changyue said.

"Hey~" Li Jiangang sighed deeply, and walked out of Changyue's yard.

"Sang Ye, help me find a plain dress."

"Yes, ma'am."

Changyue changed into plain white clothes as quickly as possible, no makeup was applied on her face, and there was not a single hairpin on her hair.

"A Cai, you stay at home and wait for your mother-in-law to come back and tell her."

"Yes, ma'am."

After speaking, Changyue took Mulberry leaves and left in a hurry.

When passing through the mansion, Changyue walked like flying, and looked like a different person from the sick and weak before. When the servants saw the flashing back, they were confused for a while.

Was that Miss Seven just now?
No, no, it must be my eyesight.

When Changyue arrived at Da Furen's courtyard, it was already full of people. Her brothers and sisters were all there, from the oldest Li Changming to the youngest Li Changkun, all of them were missing.

Li Changming and Li Changyou have just come out of Xiaofudi, their injuries are still not healed, and their faces are very pale. Ever since they knew their father was gone, they have been in a daze, not saying a word, and their condition is worrying .

Unlike the plastic parental relationship between Changyue and Li Xuan, their relationship with Li Xuan is really deep.

Li Changyu (Miss Four), Li Changyun (Miss Five), Li Changye (Miss Eight), and little radish Li Changgan (Miss Ninth) were all crying, and the one who cried the loudest was the Fifth.

She usually has the most flamboyant personality, even at this time.

The tenth old Li Changkun was only two years old, he didn't understand anything yet, but he didn't cry, he just nestled quietly in his aunt's arms.

But it doesn't matter, his aunt cried for him.

Old ten's aunt is a weak woman, she is usually delicate, but when she started crying, it seemed like a water leak.

Old Shi's biological mother is not the only one who is crying in this room.

There were more than a dozen aunts that Li Xuan took care of, several of them had no children, and they were just ordinary people. Once Li Xuan died, they had no one to rely on.

At this time, they didn't know whether they were really sad for Li Xuan's death, or worried that they would have nothing to rely on in the future.
