Chapter 472 What if he succeeds?
The man on the roof seemed to have noticed that his movements were a bit loud, and he didn't take the next step for a long time.
The mother and son pricked up their ears and just stared up quietly without speaking again.
After about half a quarter of an hour, Mapo came into the yard with soothing soup, and Nanzhi and Shen Zhiyu relaxed a little.
"Ma'am, the soup is here."
As Mapo spoke, she placed the soothing soup on the table. Just as she was about to help Nanzhi out of bed, she saw Shen Zhiyu also wrapped in a quilt.
"Why is the young master here too?"
Mapo was stunned and saw two black and blue circles under his eyes. She guessed that he couldn't sleep at night, so Aniang, who had just come to look for him, only softened her tone.
"Young master, don't worry about the city lord. It's cold now, so you should rest early and wait until I bring you some soup."
Before Shen Zhiyu could refuse, Mapo had already wrapped herself in her cloak again and hurried out of the yard.
Nanzhi always wakes up at night these days. She has lost weight several times in a row. Mapo simply asked someone in the kitchen to make a soothing soup and warmed it with fine charcoal at night. When she couldn't sleep, she would go there herself. The kitchen serves soup.
If the soup at night is not used, save it and bring it to the table at noon the next day for everyone to drink together.
Nanzhi, who is a child, is also afraid of trouble. The wind was biting outside that night, and Mapo was getting older. When she couldn't sleep at night, she thought carefully about how to find more food, and stayed up until the child in her belly was tired. Then he fell into a deep sleep,
As a result, except for Nanzhi, everyone else in the house has slept much better in the past two days.
Today Mapo had to hurry up and bring her soup, no matter what she said, so that she could have a good night's rest.
Nanzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and Zhiyu even turned red at the tip of her ears.
Mapo likes children and is very fond of all the dolls in the house.
Although the family is now trying to be frugal with food and clothing, she will also think of some ways to make food for the children at home.
Before the mother and son could completely relax, they heard a slight sound of footsteps outside the window, which immediately made the smile on Nanzhi's face freeze.
Could it be that they heard the news just now wrong?
But someone really broke into the house?
But who could it be?
Before Nanzhi could ask, he heard the footsteps outside the window becoming clearer, and then there was the sound of the door being pushed.
Nanzhi's face turned pale, and her heart pounded even more.
After all, she had offended several merchants when she opened the shop. Could it be that they were dissatisfied and came here to seek revenge?
That shouldn't be the case.
Could that be Shen Wenchen's enemy?
But now that he is not in the city, that person should not come to them if he wants to take revenge...
The door was pushed open, and Nanzhi could only see clearly the white clothes of the man through the dim candlelight from a distance.
As the footsteps got closer and closer, Shen Zhiyu's little face tensed up, and she even stretched out her hands to protect Nanzhi behind her.
Nanzhi was moved, but his men still stuffed the little guy into the quilt behind him.
And she herself asked tremblingly: "You, who are you! What are you doing here!"
The man seemed to be stopped by the question. He only paused and then walked straight in their direction.
As he moved, the white clothes that caught Nanzhi's eyes gradually turned into robes and the man's narrow waist and thin shoulders. Finally, until they could see the person's face clearly, the mother and son breathed a sigh of relief. .
Fortunately, it's not the bad guys who came.
Xiao He had a confused look on his face, and when he saw the two of them huddled on the bed with wary expressions on their faces, he touched the tip of his nose in hindsight.
"You guys, haven't you slept yet?"
He said with a sneer.
Long time no see, Xiao He is still dressed as he was three years ago. The only difference is that his figure is thinner and thinner.
"Brother Xiao He!"
Shen Zhiyu hadn't seen him for a long time, so he just opened the quilt and ran out of bed.
Just as he was about to hug him, he was forced back by the coldness on Xiao He's body.
"Don't come over here. It's too cold here. You're going to catch a cold soon." Xiao He waved his hand and asked eagerly, looking at the soup bowl on the table.
"Um, can I drink this soup?"
Although it was Nanzhi who asked, his eyes were fixed on the soup bowl, making it impossible to refuse.
"You drink it."
Nanzhi said with a smile.
When Xiao He got the words, he quickly picked up the soup bowl, raised his head and drank it all.
It had been there for so long, it was enough.
After finally getting out today, he would not listen to the old man and go back obediently.
"Xiao He, where have you been these days?"
Nanzhi looked at him for a long time, only feeling that he seemed to be covered with something, misty.
"I'm practicing." Xiao He said and moved, and all the thin ice on his robe fell to the ground, and then turned into a puddle of cold water.
"So have you completed your training now?"
Nanzhi was a little curious and continued to ask.
"No."
Xiao He spoke honestly.
"I've just stabilized my soul now, and I'm still far from returning to normal. But if I continue to hide and practice, the world won't last long."
He is the way of heaven in this world. The destiny of this world is unstable. If his way of heaven disappears, this small world will collapse soon.
What the old man meant was that this was just a small world. Now that the plot was out of whack, and it had caused so much trouble, the two of them could leave here.
But he just wasn't willing to do it.
Unwilling to be reconciled, I tried six times but failed.
Now he has figured it out, even if the plot collapses, it doesn't matter.
But this small world belongs to him, and he wants to keep this small world.
He still doesn't believe that he can't drive those people away and leave his own destiny in this world.
Nanzhi's expression froze, a little hesitant.
Looking at Xiao He, I just felt a little dazed.
"I am the way of heaven in this world. Although the plot of this world is in chaos now, it is still the place where I was born. I want to keep it, otherwise my previous six chapters will be in vain."
Xiao He scratched his head, with a youthful expression on his face.
I am just a small bead that the old man picked up while traveling in the void.
Probably because he was too bored, he randomly chose a small world and threw himself in, hoping to rely on the luck of this small world to seize the opportunity.
Although he has indeed become a god and can leave here with him and go to the three thousand worlds, he just wants to give it a try.
It took too many years to give birth to this small world. Although I failed in the first six times, the people here are still good.
Recalling the experiences he had encountered in the first six chapters, he felt a little reluctant to let go.
The three thousand worlds are good, but no matter how good they are, they will not be the ones that truly belong to you.
What if he succeeds?
