209 – The Vagrancy of Yuanyuan and Manman (1)

It was not just a casual talk when Qin Mian said about inviting the villagers to dine. After all, he left Green Mountain Village for so long. In the eyes of the villagers, his family was truly flourishing; it would not make sense not to invite them to dine.

Qin Mian passed on the orders in an orderly way. His servants went to buy ingredients, prepare tables and chairs, hire chefs…. When all the arrangements were made, the banquet was set up on the grain-sunning ground. After chatting with the villagers, drinking and dining for lunch and dinner at the banquet, Qin Mian’s family returned to be on friendly terms with the villagers.

Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin quickly adapted to school days.

In the evening, when the family were having dinner, Golden Eagle suddenly darted inside like a golden arrow. Because its action was too urgent, its two downies fell directly onto Qin Mian’s face.

“What’s the matter, Goldie?”

Golden Eagle looked at him and made an anxious cry. It flew out less than half a zhang [1.5 m] away before coming back. It seemed to be urging Qin Mian to go with it.

With a tense look, Qin Mian suddenly stood up and rushed out, “Something must have happened to White Spot and Golden Fur! A-Tie, let’s go and have a look!”

“Wife, don’t panic.” Lei Tie caught up with him, held his hand tightly, and was ready to fly away.

Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin didn’t slow down and ran after each other. “Dad, Old Dad; Didi and I want to go and see White Spot and Golden Fur, too!”

Without a word, Qin Mian and Lei Tie grabbed the boys each.

The family of four followed Golden Eagle and flew to the back of the mountain in speed. After a few breaths, they flew over the mountain forest before Golden Eagle went to land.

White Spot rolled in agony on the ground. Silver spiritual qi flashed on its body like lightning. Its black fur was wet and bloody, dying the withered grass on the ground with light red.

Golden Fur stood at the side with its eyes fixed on White Spot and its mouth growled from time to time.

“White Spot!” Qin Mian put down his son and quickly ran over with panic in his voice. White Spot had a different meaning to him that he couldn’t imagine the possibility of losing White Spot.

Lei Tie hurriedly went over and pressed his shoulder while calmly said, “Wife, don’t worry. White Spot should be going to ascend.”

“Ascend?” Qin Mian calmed down. It was no wonder that he was flustered. White Spot was a beast, so its way of cultivation was different from that of human beings. For a moment, he honestly didn’t think of that.

“We put the vital spirit into it to help it,” said Lei Tie as he turned his palms. Abundant vital spirit gushed out from the palms, which slowly and steadily entered White Spot’s body.

Qin Mian followed suit.

Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin quickly ran over and squatted beside White Spot in worry.

“Dad, White Spot will be fine, right?”

Qin Mian firmly said, “Yes, your Old Dad and I won’t let anything happen to it.”

White Spot gave out a whimper full of gratitude as its gentle eyes glided over the four masters one by one. It did not dare to be distracted for too long and immediately withdrew its attention and focused on ascending. More and more spiritual qi gathered in the surrounding area, frantically rushed into White Spot’s body. All of a sudden, White Spot jumped up from the ground, looked up to the sky, and let out a long cry, “AWOO~~”

As if the spiritual Qi seemed to be stimulated, it rolled and turned. All of a sudden, White Spot let out a painful wolf roar again. The pressure as heavy as Mount Tai came out of the void; it seemed that a giant hand suddenly tore the whole space. Before Qin Mian, Lei Tie, Qin Ruiqi, and Lei Ruilin could react, they were overturned by a powerful force and thrown into the air.

“Wife!” Lei Tie quickly caught his wife, who was the nearest to him.

Qin Ruiqi reacted quickly and caught his Didi’s wrist.

“Ruiqi, Ruilin!” Qin Mian watched Qin Ruilin and Lei Ruilin fly to the other direction. He was shocked and wanted to fly over to catch them. However, it was as if he was trapped in quicksand. The pressure from all sides kept him in prison without mercy.

Lei Tie couldn’t move either. As he watched his two sons getting farther and farther away from him and Qi Mian, his expression radically changed.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin disappeared, leaving only two panicked shouts in the air, “DAAAAAAD—OLD DAAAAAAD—”

At the same time, Qin Mian and Lei Tie were also thrown out by the invisible big hand. Before they fainted, they only saw a black and a gold lightning following Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin.

……

“Ruiqi, Ruilin!” Qin Mian suddenly opened his eyes and broke into a cold sweat.

“Wife, awake?”

Qin Mian noticed that he was on Lei Tie’s back and asked, “Sons?”

Lei Tie’s big palm patted his thigh, “Don’t be afraid, I can sense that they are all right. However, the spiritual qi here is too thin to determine their specific locations.”

Qin Mian carefully sensed it. As expected, he was able to vaguely catch the spiritual sense of Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin; he breathed a sigh of relief. He looked up and stared with his mouth agape. Were the high-rise buildings in the distance and the bullet train on the track his illusion?

“Wife, this is the world you used to live in?” Lei Tie had heard Qin Mian talk about the living environment in his previous life, so he asked.

Qin Mian foolishly opened his mouth as he squeezed Lei Tie’s arm hard, “Does it hurt?”

Lei Tie shook his head in connivance, “It’s not a dream.”

Golden Eagle flew to Qin Mian and looked at him with concern.

Qin Mian was taken aback, “Goldie also came?”

Lei Tie nodded, “If my guess is correct, White Spot and Golden Fur are with our sons.”

With White Spot and Golden Fur there, the safety of the two sons was more guaranteed. Qin Mian released a long exhale and then thought of jumping off Lei Tie’s back. “If there is no mistake, this is the world I used to live in. Let me think on how we can find our son…”

Lei Tie could see that Qin Mian was impatient. He held Qin Mian’s face and printed a kiss on his lips. “You are most familiar with this place. We’ll depend on you to find our sons; don’t be anxious. Besides, our sons are very smart and they can take care of themselves.”

Qin Mian’s anxious heart immediately settled down and nodded, “En, I ain’t anxious. Follow me.”

……

Seeing that the child was about to fall to the ground, White Spot narrowed its eyes as its dark shadow flashed over in speed. Before he fell to the ground, it put itself under him accurately.

Qin Ruiqi didn’t feel it. He lay on White Spot’s back and didn’t wake up.

White Spot lay quietly on the ground, afraid to wake up the child. It didn’t move. It only moved its head once in a while, looking around with alert eyes, and finally watched the light of dawn in boredom. When a gust of wind blew, its shiny black hair lifted up like black gold.

It was unknown how long it had been when the child on its back finally moved. As soon as he raised his head and saw the environment with clear eyes, he was momentarily confused.

“Yuanyuan.” A young voice sounded out of thin air.

“Who?!” Qin Ruiqi sprang to his feet and looked around warily.

White Spot stood up and looked at him in a placating manner, “Yuanyuan, it’s me.”

“White Spot?” Qin Ruiqi stared at it in suspicion.

White Spot nodded, “I can speak because of the ascension.”

Qin Ruiqi was stunned for a while and then calmly nodded. There were many strange things in his family, so he was only surprised for a moment before accepting the fact that White Spot could speak.

“Do you know where Dad, Old Dad, and Didi are?”

White Spot explained, “Don’t worry, they are all in this world like us. This is where your Dad lived previously. He’ll find us.”

When Qin Ruiqi heard those words, the panic in his heart suddenly dissipated. In his heart, his Dad and Old Dad were omnipotent. He thought that the “previous” that White Spot meant was before he and Lei Ruilin were born. He didn’t think much about it. He rubbed his empty stomach and the bracelet on his wrist.

This bracelet was refined by Lei Tie after he was proficient in weapon refining. It integrated the triple functions of poison detection, defense, and storage. The storage space was not large, about eight cubic meters, but it was enough to be a backpack. Unfortunately, there were only some pills, a spiritual double-edged sword, a money box, toys, and a few books. Usually, he and Lei Ruilin had what they wanted to eat at home, so they never thought to put some food in the storage bracelet. There were a lot of gold, silver, and banknotes, but these were not suitable for use in this strange world.

White Spot lifted its left forepaw and also made the move of rubbing its stomach. It said, “I’m hungry, too.”

Qin Ruiqi very quickly assessed the current situation. Before his Dad found them, he just needed to make sure that he and White Spot were safe.

After pondering for a short while, he walked forward.

White Spot hastily followed, “Where to?”

At this time, they were in a quiet alley. There was no one around but them.

Qin Ruiqi stroked its back and said, “Fill our stomach first.”

White Spot reminded, “The currency here is not the same.”

Qin Ruiqi said, “Make money first.”

“How?” ask White Spot.

Qin Ruiqi reached the end of the alley. After a long silence, he thought of the acrobatics show he had seen in the street before and spat out two words, “Performing arts?”

White Spot’s eyebrows were raised and there seemed to be three black lines hanging.

Walking out of the remote alley, Qin Ruiqi saw cars whistling by. After a few seconds, he regained his expressionless appearance. He knew those were cars, which had been in the story that his Dad told him and his Didi.

In the morning, H City gradually woke up. There were more and more people on the street. Housewives were going to the supermarket to shop, urban white-collar workers were hurrying, students were carrying schoolbags… all came and went in a hurry. On the square, twenty to thirty old men and women were exercising Taichi in leisure.

Qin Ruiqi thought for a bit before going to the square.

White Spot closely followed him and carefully walked on the outside to prevent the traffic on the road from accidentally hitting Qin Ruiqi.

When passers-by passed by Qin Ruiqi, they involuntarily looked at the little boy in ancient clothes curiously. Some people secretly took photos with their mobile phones.
