Chapter 98 The New Year is approaching
When the first ray of morning light broke through the heavy shackles of the night, a man and a woman appeared in front of a cemetery in the wasteland outside Yu Town.

In silence, the two men each performed their duties, one squatting on the ground breaking yellow paper, and the other clearing the surrounding weeds and vegetation with his bare hands.

Wei Mingqi's magical power played a significant role at this time. No matter how deep the roots were, he could just reach out his big hand and pull them out by the roots. It would only take a short while to clear one out.

The inscription hidden under the withered grass and small trees gradually became clear.

"Yu Liangyou——"

Looking at the name on the monument, Wei Mingqi's eyes became absent-minded for a rare time, and the memories in his mind also loosened.

The last time I saw this name was in the second level of the Chaotian Palace dungeon. At that time, there was a long health bar behind this name, and many players were pierced by the Yuwang Spear and were in ecstasy.

“This is my brother Ryosuke.”

The woman walked up to him, lit a stack of yellow paper in her hand and put it on the ground, then took one of his hands and looked over with a smile:

"Liangyou, this is your brother-in-law Wei Mingqi, the most handsome man in the world, and he has fallen into your sister's hands. You can't stop him now, so don't get so angry that you grit your teeth and stamp your feet."

"..."

Wei Mingqi was speechless for a while, then he held her hand with his backhand and looked at her carefully: "I will take good care of your sister in the future."

"He really glared at you when he heard that—"

The woman smiled and leaned her head on his shoulder for a moment, then took him to the side and introduced them one by one.

"This is big brother."

"This is my sister-in-law."

"This is Second Mother."

"..."

After a long time, the two finally came to the only two remaining graves. Then Yu Qing let go of his hand, squatted on the ground, spread out the yellow paper and lit it.

In the curling green smoke, Wei Mingqi took the initiative to speak for the first time, solemnly clasping his fists and saying, "Uncle, aunt, the young man from the Wei family is here to visit you two elders."

"puff."

Yu Qing, who was using a small stick to pull the yellow paper, burst into tears and hit him with the stick: "I just told Liangyou that you are my brother-in-law, and you just don't give me face?"

"...I have to ask the two elders for their opinions before I can be confident."

Wei Mingqi untied his robe belt, knelt down and clasped his hands, saying: "So today I will first pay my respects to my uncle and aunt. If you two elders agree to entrust Qing'er to me, you will accept my three kowtows--"

After saying this, he didn't say what to do if he disagreed, but just bowed his head and kowtowed.

One knock,
Two knocks,

Knock three times.

When he looked up again, the two graves had disappeared. Wei Mingqi knew that his uncle and aunt had agreed, so he bowed and changed the address:

"Dad, Mom!"

"..."

Yu Qing pouted his lips and hummed with laughter and tears, stretched out his hand to hold him and put his face on his shoulder and said: "You are so shameless and shameless, my father will definitely scold you if he sees you."

Wei Mingqi was not panicked at all and said, "It's okay. I'm tough and strong. After a beating and a scolding, nothing will happen to me."

She looked at him with tearful almond eyes: "Well, this is exactly what my father wants."

My father-in-law is also a passionate man.

Wei Mingqi was in a good mood. He bowed to the grave and said, "Don't worry, Dad. When we have children in the future, we will choose the one who is closest to Qing'er. The one who is willing will change his surname to Yu and inherit the Yu family's spear skills. Then I will bring your grandson to see you again and let you test his spear skills. After that, the three generations of us will drink here. Just wait!"

"..."

Hearing him say this, something seemed to well up in Yu Qing's heart. Tears streamed down her face, and she raised her head from his shoulder and said:
"Dad, Mom, this is the man I love. Now that our family has been avenged, I have found my ideal husband. I will live a good life with him in the future. You can rest assured about your daughter."

Speaking of this, the morning light from the distant sky just happens to shine here, making the desolate wilderness warm and gentle. This ordinary scene in the past seems to have some meaning at this moment.

Wei Mingqi seemed to be aware of something, and he reached out to embrace the person next to him, wiping away the tears on her face before looking up solemnly:

"Brother and mom, I will take good care of her from now on."

This one sentence is worth a thousand words.

The sky was breaking at dawn, the night was ending at dawn, and when the last wisp of smoke rose into the clear blue sky, the five years of continuous night rain finally stopped on this day. "Mingqi."

The woman who had also been running away with her head down for five years wiped her tears, raised her head and smiled at the people around her:
"Go back."

"..."

.........

In Pomegranate Alley, a woman in a green skirt stood under the eaves and looked up. A woman in a yellow skirt next to her counted on her fingers, "Sausages, cured fish, cured chicken, pork, mutton, and duck meat, aren't they all here? Nothing is missing."

"not enough."

Qingqun's voice was calm, but her tone was full of confidence: "I bought three carps and three grass carps each. Now I only have two carps left."

The girl in the yellow skirt hooked her fingers and asked carefully, "Could it have been stolen by a thief?"

"……Um."

Xie Beiling turned her gaze to her and asked, "What kind of thief do you think could steal the fish from home without making any noise?"

The word "叼" is used almost like a name.

Shi Fengque was just feeling panicky when a noise suddenly came from the top of the wall.

"Meow--"

The two turned their heads and saw a fat cat jumping onto the wall and lying there laboriously to bask in the sun.

Seeing that there was no fish in its mouth, Shi Fengque was just relieved when Xie Beiling narrowed his eyes and pointed his finger over:
"Look at its round belly."

"..."

During the time that Wei Mingqi was away from home, the home felt peaceful yet somewhat uneasy, and the culprit was the black cat on the wall.

"Ball!"

Huangqun walked to the wall and looked up, blushing and said, "Did you eat secretly again?"

"what--"

The fat cat on the wall yawned, and a fishy smell hit me in the face.

"you--"

The surprise Shi Fengque felt when he first met this friend who had 'taken refuge' from the palace had now turned into embarrassment.

How should I put it? She never thought that a cat could bring her such humiliation.

He is even more greedy than Wei Mingqi.

They ate whatever they could catch, chicken, duck, fish and meat when no one was paying attention. The ropes didn't work and they would untie themselves at night when no one was paying attention.

"Forget it, I've already eaten it."

Xie Beiling walked up to her and looked up. After taking a look, she looked somewhat relieved: "It seems that it has eaten the whole thing. It's good that it didn't waste anything."

"..."

Shi Fengque felt that Master Xie’s temper was both good and strange.

But this isn't the first time either.

She would care every time the chicken, duck, fish and meat were stolen, but whether she would be angry or not depended entirely on whether the "coal briquettes" were eaten up or not.

Like the last time when it left half of the tail of a big grass carp, Master Xie's death stare at him made Meiqiu furious.

"You will--"

Master Xie may not care, but as the master, she has to teach Meiqiu a lesson. However, Shi Fengque, who felt unsure about the words, lowered his voice and said:

"You have to finish eating."

"Meow!"

Seeing that the master and servant were communicating well, Xie Beiling went back to his room to get some silver and money and prepared to go out to the market to buy some more chicken, duck, fish and meat.

Although there was already a lot of food drying under the eaves, the New Year was approaching and she was always afraid that there would not be enough for Wei Mingqi to eat when he came back.
