After paying for the food Zhou Shiyue asked the woman who owned the tavern.
“Abibi if I may know the red moon festival is it very important?” he asked after seeing the two bad guys go away.
“You don't know? The festival of the red moon is celebrated every year. Not only to party just this red moon festival a means to honor the day so that nothing bad happens because there used to be a disaster when once did not celebrate the festival.” The aunt explained.
“Oh turns out so, I think it's just an ordinary festival.” Zhou Shiyue.
“Yes so the people” said the aunt before leaving Zhou Shiyue.
But by the way he has a question that until now has not been answered. He thought why when he went to the top of Xuanjun with his teacher did he feel he had never passed through the villages that he had been passing through for several days? since he and his teacher were both in the forest in the Yiheng region, shouldn't it be that on the way to the peak of Xuanjun they would automatically pass through many villages?, thinking about it made Zhou Shiyue's head suddenly dizzy, causing him to stop thinking.
While walking leisurely in Yang village, he heard the commotion ahead there. At first he did not want to get involved but he accidentally heard the screams of a child who asked for help came from the commotion.
Zhou Shiyue approached the commotion and saw a man beating up the seven-year-old boy.
“Confess it, I know you stole it!” said the grown man while beating him continuously.
“No uncle, not me. I swear I didn't do it uncle!” the little boy shouted for mercy, but the people around seemed to not care and just watch it.
Zhou Shiyue felt furious, he approached the two then brushed off the adult man's punch that almost landed on the little boy's head.
“Sister please help Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai is innocent!!!” the little boy held onto Zhou Shiyue's leg asking for help.
Zhou Shiyue quickly helped the boy up and put him slightly aside while he himself went back to the god-man who beat up the little boy.
“You heartless man, how dare to beat a little boy!” furious at Zhou Shiyue, he with a fan in his hand attacked the man to a pulp, completely making the man run away in fear.
“What do you see? You guys are the same as that guy!” zhou Shiyue snarled at the people who were still watching the scene.
Suddenly they immediately disperse afraid of accepting the same fate as the man who ran away earlier. Zhou Shiyue approached the little boy who called himself Xiao Ai.
“Xiao Ai is okay?” zhou Shiyue asked gently as she tidied the messy brat on the child's face.
“Xiao Ai well sis, thank you for helping Xiao Ai.” Say it to the boy with a sweet smile.
“But you don't look okay, you come with sister first huh?” invite her and be taken in by Xiao Ai.
Zhou Shiyue took him away from the village while carrying Xiao Ai on her back. He entered the forest while using the science of lightening the body made Xiao Ai amazed.
“Wahh handsome brother turns out to be able to fly!!” the shouts behind made Zhou Shiyue give a small smile.
A few minutes into the forest they stopped at a stream that was not too big. Zhou Shiyue lowered Xiao Ai and sat him down on a rock near the water.
Zhou Shiyue painstakingly cleaned Xiao Ai's wounds, not forgetting that he also washed the child's clothes which looked very shabby.
The two of them spent hours in the river waiting for Zhou Shiyue to shrink the clothes she had inside the storage ring until the clothes for Xiao Ai really looked suitable and perfect.
“Wahh this clothes is very nice, big brother is good at sewing.” Praise him with sparkling eyes.
“Are you happy?” zhou Shiyue asked as she ruffled Xiao Ai's hair.
“Iya, Xiao Ai was happy once but Xiao Ai was afraid that mom and dad would scold Xiao Ai when he saw Xiao Ai wearing nice clothes.” Said Xiao Ai with a pouting face.
Zhou Shiyue did not ask much, he did not want to bring up the matter that made Xiao Ai would feel sad.
“What Xiao Ai hungry for?” tanyakanya.
“Iya, but big brother need not worry Xiao Ai can resist hunger for a week.” Said the boy with his innocent smile.
Hearing that Zhou Shiyue's heart felt pain but he could only remain silent, he felt that the fate of this child was not much different from his. He had already decided that he would take this child with him.
“If Xiao Ai wants to, you can join brother around the empire. Xiao Ai no longer needed to join the Xiao Ai family let alone Xiao Ai was also not happy to be there right?” persuade Zhou Shiyue.
“Really brother? Hooray!! Finally Xiao Ai can walk, Xiao Ai also does not want to return to the house.” Xiao Ai said with excitement feeling that he was free.
“Then let's go brother!” bring him with enthusiasm.
“But we fill the stomach first let it not hurt, ok?” tannya
“Ok brother.”sahut the boy.
Zhou Shiyue also with his strength he caught fish in the river. Seeing what Zhou Shiyue was doing, Xiao Ai felt awe and curiosity.
Especially when Zhou Shiyue started to light a fire with the energy in her hand made the child even more glaring.
“Wahh big brother is so great, can Xiao Ai make a fire in the hand like big brother?” ask him curiously.
“Of course, but that's later if you're older. At this age you can just read a book and just write.” Zhou Shiyue replied with a warm smile.
Usually he did all his own activities this time he would invite Xiao Ai along with him, would the journey still go smoothly as usual?
Zhou Shiyue and Xiao Ai had finished eating, the sun was also already directly above their heads. The teenager and the boy continue their journey by riding Yuko. Yuko herself is happy because she will return to the outside world, she really feels bored in the world that everything looks dark.
For hours they rode on horses until the moonlight shone in the darkness.
“Sister, Xiao Ai is very sleepy can Xiao Ai sleep?” asked Xiao Ai whose movements seemed to want to sleep.
“Ya, just sleep. Brother will hold you.” Zhou Shiye replied as he hugged the child sitting at the front.
Since this time Zhou Shiyue was riding a horse then the journey was really slow, it might even take around five days to get out of the forest.
Looking at the cave ahead, Zhou Shiyue planned to spend the night in the cave especially Xiao Ai's body already felt cold. The child will catch a cold if not warmed first.
When he got there he gathered the wooden branches and made a bonfire. Not to forget he also took some sheets of cloth that were in storage to envelop Xiao Ai.
Afterwards he lay down next to Xiao Ai to follow the boy into his dream.
Don't forget to read the next episode of friends 😊😊!!!
For those who feel uncomfortable with the presence of Xiao Ai please write your comments. So the author would change the plot slightly so that Xiao Ai would not have to go into Zhou Shiyue's life.
But if you do not feel any problems or disturbed then the author will also adjust the story.
Relax, the purpose of the story will not change. The main cast remains Zhou Shiyue. So don't worry if it's an unexpected change.
