Chapter 777: 9th of September
Translator: 549690339
That night, Jiang Xiao and second last carefully studied the personal files of the 13 people and did not sleep at all.
The next morning, Jiang Xiao took the two sets of star power handcuffs provided by second last and returned to jiangbin city in Beijiang province by plane.
Jiang Xiao had a plan to carry out, and this plan had to be foolproof. Hence, he had to treat his “guests” with the highest standards.
Some people should indeed return. The so-called “people” were not real people, but bait.
Morning, in the upper dimension.
Baihua forest tribe.
“Jiang Xiao! Jiang Xiao! I’m back!” A little savage held a long heaven scorcher halberd in his hand as he quickly ran into his wooden house.
The bone necklace around her neck made clanking sounds. Her short hair fluttered in the wind, and her beautiful big eyes were filled with joy and antic.i.p.ation.
“How was your training today? Has your Kung Fu improved?” Jiang Xiao, the decoy, was wearing a Quanquan mask and standing in the flower field in the courtyard, looking at the distant mountains.
It was already autumn, and the forest had already been dyed a brownish-yellow.
“I’ve entered the Galaxy stage!” The little savage he Chongyang said excitedly.
With his back facing he Chongyang, Jiang Xiao nodded and said,””Well, very good, you’ve entered …”
Jiang Xiao turned around and looked at he Chongyang dumbfoundedly.””The Galaxy stage …”
“Galaxy stage, Galaxy stage! I just transformed my star into a martial art!” He Chongyang inserted the heavenly halberd into the ground and jogged over. Although he was fast, he was very careful not to step on any of the flowers in the garden.
He Chongyang walked towards Jiang Xiao and put his hands under his armpits before throwing him into the sky. His small body was filled with explosive power.”Oh~Oh~the starry sea stage~”
Jiang Xiao was speechless.
He’s already in the starry sea stage?
Do you know that on earth, countless talented players have been training hard and are still at the peak of the Galaxy stage? you’ve entered the Galaxy stage just by playing?
Hmm … However, to be honest, he Chongyang had indeed worked very hard under Jiang Xiao’s supervision and guidance in the past six months.
Not to mention he Chongyang, even the savages were working very hard.
This society was relatively primitive and relied on fists to speak. The savages were also aggressive and they were particularly enthusiastic about the guidance and training that Jiang Xiao provided them.
Especially after the unexpected results, it further promoted the enthusiasm of the barbarians for training.
At this moment, Jiang Xiao had already become a “G.o.d-like” figure in the white birch forest, and his prestige was comparable to that of Lady Zhu Yue. She was the lady Zhu Yue who had enlightened them and brought them into the agricultural era and the Iron Age.
“Alright, alright … Quickly put me down …” Jiang Xiao said hurriedly. Ever since he found out about Xu Li’s matter, Jiang Xiao had been in a bad mood. However, he felt much better after he Chongyang’s antics.
“Hehe.” He Chongyang caught Jiang Xiao and did not throw him into the sky again.
“In the future, you have to be gentle with me. You are already in the Galaxy stage. My body is very fragile, do you know that?” Jiang Xiao pressed his hand on he Chongyang’s head and rubbed it hard.
If I were to be crushed into a pile of star power by your little hands, it would be a big joke.
“Hehe.” He Chongyang stretched out his arm and wiped his nose with a silly smile on his face.”Jiang Xiao, you said you were going to give me a surprise. What is it?”
“A surprise, hmm …” Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiao rubbed his head and thought to himself, I’m afraid I’m only surprised.
Sensing he Chongyang’s expectant eyes, Jiang Xiao said,””There are surprises, but it all depends on whether you listen to me.”
“Be obedient! I’m very obedient!” He Chongyang hurriedly put his hands behind his back and looked up at Jiang Xiao obediently.”It’s been more than half a year. It’s the first time you didn’t train with us. The savages are very concerned about you, but I’ve said that my Jiang Xiao is going to give me a big surprise.”
Jiang Xiao nodded and asked,”little Chongyang, do you know what day it is today?”
“Eh?” He Chongyang put his hands behind his back obediently and looked up at Jiang Xiao. He blinked his big, cute eyes and said in a daze,”today is …” What day is it? Autumn, I know it’s autumn, right? The weather is getting colder, and the leaves of the white birch tree have turned yellow. ”
“Yes.” Jiang Xiao nodded and said,”it’s indeed autumn, but do you know what day it is?”
He Chongyang shook his head with a bitter face.
“Today is October 17th, 2018,” Jiang Xiao said.
He Chongyang immediately replied,”ha!” October! Autumn! My mom said that September, October, and November are all autumn!”
“Yes, you’re right.” Jiang Xiao smiled and rubbed he Chongyang’s head before saying,”we Chinese have a traditional calendar to calculate dates. It’s called the lunar calendar.”
“Then?” he Chongyang asked.
“Today is the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar,” Jiang Xiao said.
He Chongyang blinked his eyes as if he had realized something.
Jiang Xiao said,”your name comes from your birthday. If I’m not mistaken, it should be the 9th of September in the lunar calendar. That’s because only the 9th of September in the lunar calendar is the double sun Festival in China.”
He Chongyang nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.””Alright, alright, alright. It’s my birthday, my birthday.”
“Yes.” Jiang Xiao had an indulgent smile on his face, but because he was wearing a circular mask, the scene was a little strange. He said,”there’s another tradition on the double sun Festival, which is to pay respects to the ancestors.”
He Chongyang was speechless.
Jiang Xiao said,”pick some flowers. Let’s go to the cemetery and pay respects to your mother.”
“Alright, I’ll definitely pick the best one.” He Chongyang turned around and looked at the autumn flowers that had been specially planted in the garden. He hurriedly began to pick them.
“The White one,” Jiang Xiao was filled with complicated emotions. He reached into his arms and touched the carved stone tablet, not knowing how to say it.
It’s already been half a year. If I leave again this time, will you still cry?
“Let’s go and see mom!” He Chongyang plucked a bunch of white flowers in full bloom. The petals were very large and emitted a faint fragrance.
Jiang Xiao nodded and said, let’s go.
Two figures, one big and one small, walked out of the small courtyard and walked through the huge Savage tribe.
In the past six months, Jiang Xiao had established a high prestige here.
Along the way, the square sky halberd soldiers, giant blade soldiers, archers, s.h.i.+eldmen, and the barbarians who didn’t partic.i.p.ate in the battle but focused on cultivation, farming, and other life projects kept greeting Jiang Xiao.
From the way they greeted each other, one could tell the division of labor of these savages.
The savage soldiers in the battle sequence stood at attention and saluted Jiang Xiao with their eyes, showing great respect. After all, Jiang Xiao was their Chief Instructor.
As for the other profession savages, they were much more casual. They waved, greeted, smiled, and the atmosphere was more relaxed.
The two figures, one big and one small, pa.s.sed through the huge white birch forest tribe and walked on the open land. They followed the river all the way west and walked towards the white birch forest in the distance.
The time on the alien planet should be synchronized with the time on earth, at least that was the season.
It was autumn. The sky was high and the clouds were light. The weather gradually cooled down.
The beautiful birch forest in the distance was something that Jiang Xiao couldn’t see on earth. All the plants and animals here were huge, and so was this white birch forest.
On the thick white trunk, the cracks on the white birch tree bark formed black eyes that looked at the two people walking in the forest.
The branches swayed in the wind.
Yellow leaves fell from the sky, landing on their heads and shoulders.
He Chongyang had been much quieter since they entered the birch forest. He held a bunch of white flowers in his hands and mumbled something.
While listening to the conversation between her and her mother, Jiang Xiao said,””You can keep it and talk to her.”
“Oh.” He Chongyang wiped his nose and didn’t say anything else.
The barbarians were thriving and developing well. Ever since Jiang Xiao settled in, he did not resort to violence. Instead, he continued with Ms. Zhu Yue’s task and began to teach the barbarians language and Chinese characters.
The savages were highly intelligent, but they had no foundation. Jiang Xiao thought that he might be able to bring them some books the next time he came.
From the scene in front of him, he could see that the Barbarian tribe had developed very well. In this huge graveyard, there were a few barbarians and their children kneeling in front of the gravestone to pay their respects.
Jiang Xiao didn’t think that they knew that it was the double sun Festival today. He thought that their behavior was just an ordinary act of wors.h.i.+p.
‘Haste makes waste, and you know the etiquette.’ That was what it meant.
The savages had developed their minds, and he hoped that they could develop better from generation to generation.
Under he Chongyang’s lead, the two of them came to a grave. He Chongyang knelt down and leaned the flower against the stone gravestone.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
After three kowtows, Jiang Xiao heard the m.u.f.fled sounds and looked at the small pit in front of he Chongyang. He couldn’t help but shake his head with a smile.
Her recklessness ran through all aspects of life.
After that, Jiang Xiao heard he Chongyang whisper,””Mom, I’m here to see you.”
She scratched her head in embarra.s.sment, revealing two cute little canine teeth.””Hehe, I don’t usually know when I’ll come to see you. Today should be the right day. Jiang Xiao said that the 9th of September is the day to pay respects to our ancestors. I’ll come to see you every year on my birthday.”
“Three years after you left, Jiang Xiao came. He’s now my master. He’s very powerful and knows everything. I can even transform the stars into martial arts and summon the heavenly halberd!”
Jiang Xiao said that my star map is called the heavenly halberd …”
Jiang Xiao said that I trained the hardest among all of you …”
Jiang Xiao said that as long as I work hard, I can become the strongest one and protect everyone …”
He Chongyang’s eyes turned red as he spoke, and his voice was choked with sobs. Jiang Xiao also said that you don’t want me anymore and you don’t want to leave me either. You’re the one who’s most unwilling to leave me …”
He Chongyang sniffled. His small figure knelt in front of the huge tombstone and wiped his eyes with his arms.”Jiang Xiao also said that he’ll be leaving when I can hold back my tears. He said that it’s not that he doesn’t want me, but that he’s the same as you, he doesn’t want to leave me …”
“I’m with him every day, watching over him every minute and every second, afraid that he’ll suddenly disappear. ”
“Today was the first time he didn’t accompany me to training. I was worried the entire morning. I was so fl.u.s.tered, afraid that he would have already left when I got home …”
Upon hearing he Chongyang’s whisper, Jiang Xiao couldn’t help but turn his head away.
He Chongyang suddenly raised his head and took a deep breath. He wiped away his tears, and a sad smile appeared on his tear-stained face.
He Chongyang crawled two steps forward and placed his forehead on the cold tombstone. He whispered,””Jiang Xiao sculpted a small stone head portrait for me. He sculpted it sneakily every night and thought that I didn’t notice it. I only found out that it’s my birthday today, hehe.”
“Mom, please bless me in heaven. Don’t let Jiang Xiao leave me, okay? he’s the best person to me after you left. I beg you …”
Jiang Xiao turned his head and looked at the tombstone silently. He said to Zhu Yue in his heart, as if to express his intention to leave.”When I come back, I will bring crop seeds, books, knowledge, and techniques to the birch forest.
More importantly, I’ll bring little Chongyang playmates, the strong and healthy Yuan Yuan, and her uncles and aunties who are trapped in the upper snowfield. They’re very good people, and they’ll take care of little Chongyang with me. ”
Jiang Xiao’s gaze slowly landed on little Chongyang, who was kneeling on the ground and whispering to each other with his forehead against the tombstone.
In the quiet graveyard, under the falling yellow leaves.
Jiang Xiao took a deep breath and said,”I promise you. The next time I come back, I’ll never leave again.”
…
“Ninth of September”
Double sun and double sun, years after years of ancient graves.
Bai Hua, the fallen leaf, the favor was home.
The first time I wrote, I hope that young masters will gather together.
[In addition, thank you for the million-Yuan reward from the important silver Dameng. Update tomorrow.]
