Chapter 19 Just want to go home together
...

The process of taking the person away was too smooth and fast, and Makino didn't have much sense of reality when he brought the person in front of Tan Xi.These "people" may not be human, but they seem to be easier to deal with than humans?

"Xiangu, I brought him here."

"Yes, let's go back."

Tan Xi nodded, feeling that he looked a bit like a pet dog that came back with a Frisbee in its mouth. She touched the back of his head and then strode away.

Makino stopped in place, his head feeling dizzy - what did Xiangu mean?Are you praising him?Like a child?Although he quite likes it.

"Immortal girl...? Well, how did my mother find you?" The short-haired young man carefully followed Tan Xi. The aura of the immortal cultivator was indeed extraordinary. Just getting close to her made it difficult to breathe.

The cultivator in white clothes didn't even look back and said, "Your mother misses you very much and plans to cross to Jibei on foot. I happened to meet her on the road and took her with me."

"Mom, why didn't you tell me that she was coming to Jibei ferry? Really... I obviously just left home not long ago, and I just sent a letter back -"

The young man muttered behind him. Tan Xi heard it, but did not react and walked quickly to the inn.Unlike the bustle last night, the lobby seemed particularly deserted and quiet during the day.

Makino took the old man down from the room, maybe because he got the news from him in advance. When the old man came downstairs, his eyes were filled with tears and his steps were staggering. He seemed to be in disbelief, but also seemed to be ecstatic. It turned out that his stooped body could also be so fast. When he was agile, he strode up to his son and raised his hand to hold his cheek.

"Xiaolong...Xiaolong...I finally met you. How have you been these past few years? Why don't you go home and see me? Do you know that my mother misses you so much——!"

"Mom? What do you mean by this? Didn't I just come home during the Chinese New Year? And you didn't receive my letter? The Lord of Wuyawu City has hired our boat for several years, and he will be busier than before. But The monthly payment is much more!" The short-haired young man didn't quite understand how his mother was crying and laughing at the moment. He just raised his hand to wipe his mother's tears, and stared at his mother's face with his big round eyes. She had many wrinkles and looked much older. His face said, "Mom... you, why is your hair so gray?"

"..." The old man's expression was obviously at a loss. She quickly realized what happened to her son, but in just a few breaths, she put the confusion away and pulled out a reluctant expression. , but still smiled kindly and kindly, "Mom... she is like this because she is too tired from farm work, so there is no need to be so nervous..."

"Mom, I have grown up and can support my family. You and your father can enjoy the happiness without having to work so hard."

"It's not hard work, it's boring. Your dad and I are bored at home. We can still pass some time by farming... Xiaolong is really sensible. Mom is really... very happy."

The old man's eyes were red, and he caressed the young man's prickly hair - this hair was shaved by his father.

"Mom, I will definitely go back to see you as often as possible in the future! There is no need to come all the way here in person. I heard that if I hadn't met these two immortals, you would have--"

"...I am your mother, so of course I know how to behave. At my age, my mother also wants to come and see the world in person..."

"What about dad? How can dad let you leave home alone?"

"Your father...is not worried about the crops at home, so he stays at home to take care of them." The old man burst into tears and smiled happily, "If I can see my little dragon looking so promising, I can rest in peace even if I die. "

"Mom! Don't say such strange things!"

There was always a lot to talk about between mother and son. The young man accompanied the old man to wander on the street, and used the money he earned to buy a lot of clothes, sundries and food for his mother.Ever since he saw his son, the smile on the old man's face has never disappeared. He was holding the hot meat buns and laughing so hard that he couldn't even open his eyes.

Tan Xi and Makino were always following behind at a not too far distance. Compared with the relaxed and joyful atmosphere between mother and son, their side seemed particularly solemn and silent.

It should be said that it was just low pressure unilaterally released by Makino.

"Xiangu, didn't you say that the food here is inedible? Why don't you stop them?"

"Why do you want to stop it? Do you want to rush in and ruin the reunion of mother and son in such an atmosphere?"

"But..." He also knew it was impossible, and his voice suddenly became deeper and heavier, "I don't want to watch Aunt Ma -" "There will be a way." Tan Xi suddenly said softly.

"Fairy?"

"I said there will be a way, and this matter will be over soon."

Mu Yeli knew that since the fairy girl was so powerful, she would definitely have a solution.

He took a deep breath and tried to hold her hand, but he could only reach a touch of her sleeve.

Fairy aunt, please save them.

He prayed quietly in his heart.

Knowing that their destination was Wuyawu City, Ma Baolong did not hesitate at all. His first reaction was to invite them to be the ship of their fleet. In order to thank them for escorting his mother, he also provided three meals for free during the whole journey, and even made a special trip for them. This boat trip.

There was no reason to refuse such conditions, so Tan Xi agreed and planned to set off tonight.Makino has no objection to nature.

Ma Baolong originally wanted to leave his mother at the ferry and wait for them to return home after seeing off the fairy aunt, but after the old man's repeated requests, he still agreed to her request to get on the boat together.

"It will be very hard on the boat. Are you really okay, Mom?"

"It's okay, it's okay. This isn't my first time on a boat. I've also been on your dad's boat before when we were on good terms!"

Ma Baolong and Mu Yeli boarded the ship first to carry their luggage, leaving Tan Xi and the old man to walk side by side.

The Windrunner was huge and majestic—it would have been a majestic ferry if it hadn't been so old and incomplete.

But now it is wrapped in rust and moss, and the sails have faded to a gray color. When blowing in the wind, you can only feel the cool and eerie atmosphere.

She noticed that the old man's walking on crutches was getting slower and slower. She turned around and saw that the old man was looking at her. The cloudy eyeballs and whites of his eyes were particularly bright and clear at that moment. She was smiling, but it made people think that she was crying.

"Xiangu, can I ask you a favor?"

"what?"

"I want to go home with Xiaolong, is that okay?"

This was her first and only long-cherished wish. She just wanted to take her son home with her.

Tan Xi nodded gently: "...Okay."

"Thank you."

The old man took steps again, staggered onto the sampan, and walked towards her only relative.

Tan Xi watched silently for a few seconds and then stepped onto the deck.
