Fox Demon: Huaizhu is not a concubine, and hegemony has no wife

Chapter 281 No one will remember except those close to you

When they arrived at the border between Tushan and the human race, under the leadership of Su Mu, the little leech demon and the green snake easily sneaked in.

Following the green snake's mysterious feeling, he kept moving forward.

The further he walked, the stranger Su Mu felt, because the direction he was heading now was exactly the direction of Shenhuoshan Villa.

"Could it be that Senior's reincarnated husband is in my hometown?"

On the way, Su Mu spoke with a smile.

"Is this the direction to your hometown?" Cui Yu Xiaotan asked excitedly beside him.

"Currently, we are heading towards Shenhuoshan Villa. I am a disciple of Shenhuoshan Villa."

"When I get to your place, you must treat me well."

Cuiyu Xiaotan pursed her lips and said, "If you don't treat me well, that won't do. I need to eat and drink well..."

The girl counted on her fingers and listed her requests one by one.

Su Mu and Cui Yu Xiao Tan were talking and laughing, but the Green Snake Grandma in front stopped at this moment.

Su Mu and Cui Yu Xiaotan couldn't help but stop and found that Grandma Green Snake's gaze fell on a city in the distance.

These days in Shenhuoshan Villa, Su Mu also got to know about various places. This big city is controlled by the 'Qingmu' family, a thousand-year-old family in the 'Yiqi Dao League'.

As far as Su Mu knew, the most famous member of the Qingmu family recently was Qingmu Yuan, a member of the "Masks," codenamed Fairy Miaoyu. She possessed the magical artifact, the Eight Treasures Jade Ruyi, which could block other people's spells and smooth one's own energy. She could crush people and drop treasures, and within a three-meter radius around her, she was practically off-limits to other spiritual cultivators. However, she ultimately met a tragic death outside the "circle."

"Senior, I sensed it."

Seeing Grandma Green Snake's gaze lingering on the city, Su Mu couldn't help but ask.

"I didn't sense him being here."

Grandma Green Snake shook her head.

"Then... why?"

Su Mu was a little surprised.

"In my previous life, my husband died here."

The green snake looked melancholy with complicated eyes.

After hearing this, Su Mu and Cui Yu Xiaotan were silent.

Grandma Green Snake withdrew her gaze from the city below and was about to move forward, but Su Mu called her.

"Senior, why not go down and take a look."

The green snake hesitated.

"It's a good opportunity for you to tell us about your past."

Su Mu smiled.

Grandma Green Snake was a little hesitant.

"Grandma Green Snake, I'd love to hear it too."

Beside her, Cui Yu Xiao Tan also spoke.

"Ok."

The green snake nodded.

The three of them also fell from the sky and arrived at this city. The city was very lively, with people coming and going.

"Three hundred years ago, this place was just as lively as it is now."

The green snake walked in front, looking around with a complicated expression.

Nothing seems to have changed.

Su Mu and Cui Yu Xiaotan also looked around.

The city was bustling with people walking around and even more people setting up stalls to sell food. For Cui Yu Xiaotan, it was her first time to come to a human town and her first time to see such a bustling human town scene. She was a little stunned for a moment.

“It’s really lively!”

The girl opened her eyes wide and stared around curiously. The various acrobatic hawking sounds and the dazzling array of goods made Cui Yu Xiaotan a little overwhelmed.

"Selling candied haws, selling candied haws."

Nearby, a vendor shouted, "Our 300-year-old candied haws are sweet and delicious. If they don't taste good, I won't charge you."

"Little girl, would you like a string of candied haws?"

A peddler passed by and saw Cuiyu Xiaotan staring at his candied haws. He stopped and asked with a smile.

"Is it tasty?"

Cuiyu Xiaotan couldn't help asking. It was the first time she saw the so-called candied haws. After all, this kind of thing was not sold in the clan.

"Don't worry, little girl. My craft has been passed down for three hundred years. As everyone knows, my grandfather was famous for his candied haws craft back then."

"Who knows if you're lying?"

Cuiyu Xiaotan pouted.

“It should be delicious.”

It was Grandma Green Snake next to her who spoke. At this moment, she was staring absentmindedly at the vendor's straw target filled with candied haws.

The straw target is made of various rice straws and wheat straws and is used to fix the candied haws strings.

The reason I noticed this straw target was because it felt familiar.

Three hundred years ago, she made a similar straw target for her husband's younger brother. Although time has passed, traces of her weaving are still faintly visible on it.

"Then I want three."

When Cui Yu Xiao Tan heard Grandma Green Snake say it was delicious, she spoke immediately.

"Sincerely, fifteen cents."

After hearing this, the vendor smiled.

Cui Yu Xiaotan naturally had no money, so Su Mu was there and paid for her immediately.

After receiving the money, the vendor immediately took three strings of candied haws from the straw target and handed them to Cui Yu Xiaotan.

Originally, the peddler was planning to leave after selling the candied haws, but he noticed that the old lady next to the little girl who bought the candied haws was staring at him, so he couldn't help but look at her.

Just one glance and I felt something strange, a very familiar feeling, as if I knew this person from somewhere.

The hawker didn't think he had a photographic memory, but if it was an acquaintance, he would always remember it. But the old lady in front of him clearly gave him a very familiar feeling.

Suddenly, the peddler remembered that when he was a child, he seemed to have seen a painting in the ancestral hall of his family. The woman in the painting had a somewhat similar outline to the old lady.

It’s a pity that the painting was soaked by rain during a heavy rainstorm and was eventually destroyed. Otherwise, he would definitely go back and take a good look at the ancestral hall.

"Who made this straw target of yours?"

Grandma Green Snake stared at the straw target and asked.

“My great-grandfather made it.”

The vendor scratched his head and said, "My craft of making candied haws has been passed down for a long time, and this straw target is proof of that."

"What about your great-grandfather?"

Grandma Green Snake asked softly, and in her mind she could vaguely recall the scene in her previous life when her husband died and she left, and her brother-in-law saw her off.

"Of course he died a long time ago."

The vendor couldn't help but laugh: "It's been hundreds of years. How could anyone live that long? Naturally, they would have died long ago."

"Yeah! It's been hundreds of years. He must have died long ago."

Grandma Green Snake lowered her head, looking a little sad.

"Your great-grandfather died, aren't you sad? Aren't you heartbroken?"

Next to her, Cui Yu Xiaotan was still biting a candied haws. When she heard this, she couldn't help but speak angrily.

The peddler looked at the little girl in confusion.

He had never seen his deceased great-grandfather, so how could he have any feelings for him? They were dead, and that was all they were.

"I haven't even met my great-grandfather, so how can I be sad or heartbroken?"

The vendor spread his hands and said, "I don't even remember my great-grandfather's name. You want me to be sad for someone I've never met?"

Cui Yu Xiaotan's voice choked.

"It happened hundreds of years ago. It's all in the past. There's no need to worry about it anymore."

The vendor laughed and said, "No one will remember it except those close to you. It's meaningless."
