After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the state gave preferential treatment to ethnic minorities. Minority tribes near Xiangxi have subsidies and preferential agricultural policies.

When Ye Bai was in charge of the Nine Gates, he also helped the Miao Village.

After the economy became prosperous, many people in the Miao village moved to nearby counties, and the number of people in the village decreased by half compared with before.

Ye Bai came to the place where he once lived. The surrounding areas had been reclaimed into rice fields, leaving only dilapidated and lonely bamboo houses sitting on the ridges of the fields.

Looking through the window, he and Bai Zhixi's handmade furniture was still there, but it had long since rotted and gathered dust, losing its popularity.

Ye Bai also saw a small sign hanging in front of the bamboo door: "There is an owner of the house. If you have any questions, please contact Rongbao Yixiao."

Ye Bai smiled. He asked Rongbao Exiao to preserve the wooden house. It seems that Rongbao Exiao has never forgotten it.

When we walked into the Miao Village, the appearance inside had indeed changed a lot. The paths were much cleaner than before, the bamboo houses were transformed into tile houses, and there were also slogans belonging to this era.

Ye Bai walked around and didn't see many familiar people. Most of them were the little kids who had grown up into adults, but they couldn't recognize Ye Bai.

At this time, Rongbao Exiao was teaching his naughty grandchildren a lesson in front of the door. Suddenly he saw a figure in the corner of the alley, and his body froze slightly.

That is?

Rong Bao Exiao quickly chased after him and saw the figure standing at the entrance of the village waiting for him.

When I ran closer and took a closer look, I burst into tears.

"Brother Xiaobai..."

Ye Bai looked at Rong Bao Exiao, whose face was full of vicissitudes of life, and felt a little sad. Time is not forgiving.

The kid who followed him back then is almost an old man now.

"You are so old and you are still crying. I stopped by to see you. Please walk with me."

"Okay, okay, Brother Xiaobai, I've been letting people keep the place where you live. If you want to live there, I'll let people clean it up."

"If you can't stop it anymore, just let it go."

The two of them were walking on the ridge, surrounded by green rice fields.

Rongbao Yixiao had too many things to say to Ye Bai. Where was Uncle Huzi, who had no heirs, buried? Yao Nong Bado was taken to the town by his silly son to enjoy the blessings. Later, he could not walk and could only lie down.

With...

Ye Bai listened quietly and asked a few questions from time to time.

At this time, five or six boys wearing Miao clothes ran over and were scolded by Rong Bao Exiao.

"Are they all your grandchildren?"

Rongbao Xiaohan smiled and said: "My mother-in-law can give birth to three sons and two daughters. These children are all born to the eldest son and his wife."

Ye Bai couldn't help but smile and said: "Then you will be very busy from now on."

One son can only have so many sons. In future generations, the grandfather will probably be exhausted by housing prices.

"No, no, I still have quite a few of the treasures you left for me that I haven't sold yet. The inspections have been strict in the past few years. I think only people would dare to buy them if they are family heirlooms."

"Quite smart." Ye Bai praised.

Rongbao Exiao smiled and talked about family affairs with Ye Bai again. What does the eldest son do, what does the second son do...

At dusk, the golden afterglow shines on the crops in the fields.

"Hey Xiao, I have to leave."

"Brother Xiaobai, then...can I see you again in the future?"

Ye Bai paused: "There will be a chance."

Rong Bao Exiao suddenly felt painful in Ye Bai's arms.

When he first came to Miao Village, Rong Bao Exiao was beaten by his mother, and he often cried in Ye Bai's arms.

Ye Bai's eyes were slightly red, he thought for a moment and took out an evil-proofing talisman.

"This object is not valuable. It has the function of warding off evil spirits and is also a token. If you and your descendants encounter difficulties, you can go to Changsha to find Jiumen. When you see the token, they will help you unconditionally."

Rongbao Yixiao's family are ordinary people, and Ye Bai doesn't dare to give anything too expensive.

After leaving the talisman behind, Ye Bai disappeared into the distant field ridge in Rong Bao's eyes.

Back home, Rongbao Yixiao solemnly placed the evil-proof talisman in the wooden box and placed it with the treasures.

He decided that after his death, he would leave these things to his most outstanding heirs and pass them on.

At this time, several of his grandchildren came jumping over.

"Grandpa, grandpa, you were crying in the arms of that big brother just now, we all saw it."

"Go, big brother, you have to call me grandpa."

After driving away his grandson, Rongbao Exiao sighed in his heart, Brother Xiaobai's appearance has never changed since he settled in Changsha. Even if we meet today, he is still the same.

His little brother Bai may be an immortal living in the mortal world.

Brother Xiaobai believes in him so much that he also wants to keep the secret for Brother Xiaobai.

Rongbao Hexiao thought so.

......

At this time, Ye Bai came to Pingshan again.

There have always been old guys from Ye Mansion guarding the foot of Pingshan Mountain. Over the past few decades, there have been three groups of people.

They keep an eye on the snake situation in Pingshan. In addition to preventing the proliferation of snakes, they are also responsible for monitoring whether Xiao Hei returns.

"Third Master, why are you here in person?"

"What's going on recently?"

"Everything is business as usual, except that there have been a lot less snakes on the periphery of Pingshan Mountain recently. I guess they all gathered in the center of Pingshan Mountain to mate. This is also the case at this time in previous years."

Ye Bai nodded and headed towards the depths of Pingshan.

After Xiaohua was brought to Worm Valley by him, Xiaoqing was the only one managing the snakes in Pingshan.

He came to Worm Valley this time to bring the green and red cauldron back to Worm Valley for use by all the pets in the valley.

If you put it in Pingshan, it would be a bit of a waste.

However, when Ye Bai arrived near the Pingshan Underground Palace, he didn't see a single snake along the way.

Obviously, the disappearance of the peripheral snakes is not because the snakes want to mate, but because something happened inside Pingshan.

Ye Bai quickened his pace and suddenly heard a low dragon roar coming from the valley.

Xiaohei!

This dead snake is finally back.

Ye Bai was furious, and Xiao Hei never came back since he transformed into a dragon.

Ye Bai is also often worried that Xiao Hei will show his traces outside and be hunted, skinned, and drank the dragon's blood.

Now that he suddenly appears in Pingshan, it seems that this guy probably knows that someone is watching at the bottom of the mountain, and deliberately avoids the people watching.

At this time, in the deep pool of Pingshan, a huge dragon head emerged from the water, and its thick dragon body was covered with black scales.

It is entrenched on the surface of the pool, its limbs and dragon claws are strong and powerful, educating the snakes and grandchildren gathered here.

"Although you are snakes, you must have the dream of transforming into a dragon..."

Although the snake group was basically intimidated by Xiao Hei, they were still stunned for a while.

Xiao Hei was talking happily when suddenly, his head was startled, he glanced at the figure on the top of the mountain, and he immediately froze.

Ye Bai stepped on the void, rode on Xiao Hei's dragon head, and took several shots at the dragon's horn.

Although the palm thunder was not used, the force was quite strong and made Xiao Hei dizzy.

Xiao Hei didn't dare to resist, so he just lay down by the pool and let Ye Bai do it.

"Tell me, where have you been all these years? You didn't even leave a message. Do you want to worry me to death? And you are still hiding after you come back. I have raised you for so many years in vain..."
