Dark clouds covered the moon, and it rained at night.

The world fell into darkness and noise again, but the lights in the courtyard were still on, the light penetrated into the room, Huai Xu's eyes were bright, and he unconsciously rubbed his wooden sign in his hand, which he had often done recently.

The sound of Zhou Li's even breathing came from the bed next to him.

He fell asleep.

Huai Xu quietly got up, leaned on the edge of the window, and took out the jade pendant, looking at the dim light outside the window.

"Ming Gong ......"

"Pacifying the ...... Army"

"A Fourth ......"

He muttered quietly.

After a long time, he retreated and sat on the floor with his knees crossed and watched the rain under the light outside the window in a daze.

The sound of the rain made people fall asleep, and for a long time, he leaned back against Zhou Li's bed, tilted his head and gradually closed his eyes.

There seemed to be some voices ringing in my ears—

"Demons are stronger than people, and fighting demons is dangerous and abnormal, but you and I are both members of the pacification army and a prefix, no matter how fierce and powerful the demon is, we should not be cowardly, let alone sympathetic!"

"They seem to be very friendly. ”

"Nonsense! This is our world, how can we share it with those monsters? And you and I fight for heaven and earth, and are loyal to Your Majesty, it is better to say less such things in the future!"

"But ......"

There were some things he didn't say.

There were other voices ringing out, it was a homecoming ballad, and it was melodious and provocative.

......

Still a perfect night's sleep.

Zhou Li was woken up by the chirping outside the window, and the crow that loved to die, ahhh

Zhou Li was a little confused.

The woman turned her head to look at him and slapped her mouth twice lazily: "I found that you woke up very late when you arrived here!"

"I slept well. ”

"Isn't it just sleeping?"

"Why did you change your look again?"

"My new look, how's it going, does it look good?"

"Good-looking, is this another star?"

"Hey, hey, have a vision!"

"You're going out like this, you're going to scare Miss Zheng. ”

"No!" Huai Xu yawned again, "I already said hello to her by the window just now, and you slept like a pig!"

"Oh. ”

Zhou Li put on his shoes and went to wash.

The breakfast was light and exquisite, and it was comfortable to eat, and after Zhou Li washed the dishes, he came to the courtyard and saw the flowers fall to the ground.

Zheng Zhilan planted a lot of flowers in the courtyard, on the rooftops and balconies, and even on the path to her house, all of which were colorful and blooming in all seasons, and the air after the rain seemed to be contaminated with some fragrance.

Zheng Zhilan sat in the courtyard, turned her head and asked him, "Have the flowers been knocked down a lot by the rain?"

"But there are still a lot of them that are open and not open. ”

"Hmm. ”

Qinghe came back from outside, picked up a broom and swept the floor.

He's already gone for a spin in the mountains.

I heard Zheng Zhilan say that Qinghe has this habit - he likes to go around the mountains to see the crops, and he can see whatever crops are in season, especially after rain or continuous drought, he must go to see it.

This old peasant-like habit was much worse than his appearance.

It's a bit of a contrast.

Hearing Qinghe say, there are a lot of mushrooms on the mountain again.

Zhou Li and Zheng Zhilan decided to pick it up.

Mushrooms grow quickly after rain in summer, especially in the bamboo groves, where the harvest is extremely abundant. At noon, the chicken soup was stewed, and there were many mushrooms to stir-fry, Zhou Li found that Qinghe loved to eat mushrooms, and he could eat a big pot just by eating mushrooms, and only one rain on this mountain was probably enough for him to eat for a few days.

Two days later, on the 18th, Zhou Li lit the fire every day, walked around the mountain and took pictures, and had a leisurely and comfortable time.

It's autumn harvest time recently.

The corn on the mountain was already old, and it had to be broken back as soon as possible after two days of drying, lest it rain again.

Zhou Li and Huaixu volunteered to help.

Zheng Zhilan doesn't grow much, it is used to feed poultry, and the chickens, ducks and geese she raises will go outside to find food by themselves, she just needs to feed some when they can't find food, such as rainy days and cold weather.

And she doesn't eat this herself.

She had eaten her own food and planted it in the back of the house, only two rows, of different varieties, and it was long past the season.

Corn is taller than a human and beans are planted in the middle.

Zhou Li, Zheng Zhilan and Qinghe were in charge of breaking it, and Huai Xu was only responsible for transporting it back and playing.

Breaking corn is simple, Zhou Li learns quickly, and he has now reached the speed of 0.8 Xiao Zheng.

And where Miss Xiao Zheng is, he doesn't know.

All I could hear was a commotion in the distance.

Huai Xu was lying on the mountain, with a dog's tail grass in his mouth, blowing the wind to watch the clouds drift, and from time to time he got up to look down, so condescendingly, he could see the three people in the ground, separated by a distance.

"Zhou Li, you are a good dish!"

"Zhou Li, I found a pheasant on the mountain, how about we catch one and eat it?"

"Have you ever eaten an eagle?"

"Look at me catching a rabbit!"

"What a big cauliflower snake!"

"Oh, I've broken another bag, okay, I'll give it away...... Haha, I've sent it back and I'm back!"

"The water in that well over there is so sweet!"

“......”

He's idle.

Zhou Li's egg hurts, and Zheng Zhilan thinks it's funny.

Qinghe works efficiently.

Zheng Zhilan and Qinghe had to break for two days, but with the addition of Zhou Li and Huaixu, it only took less than a day.

In the evening, Zheng Zhilan roasted rabbit and chicken, cooked mushroom soup, and opened a bottle of self-brewed plum wine, she said to Zhou Li and Huaixu: "Thanks to you today, otherwise my eyes are not good, and I have to work a lot." ”

Zhou Li was a little embarrassed.

Huai Xu was very calm: "What's this, if you need it next year, Zhou Li and I will come back!"

"Really?"

"I'm going to eat anyway!...... I don't know."

"I'll come too. ”

"It's decided. ”

"Hmm. ”

It was cool at night and it was comfortable to take a shower.

The recovered corn has to be peeled, there is no machine, only by hand, Zheng Zhilan is very patient, she put a bench in the yard, sits against the starry sky, and peels it slowly quietly.

Zhou Li also sat down.

Huai Xu can't do this fine work, it is said that he went to observe the evil god, and he wants to know himself and his opponent.

Zhou Li and Zheng Zhilan whispered, probably talking about "Golden Silk", Zhou Li was very curious about this, but he thought that even if he gave him that pile of books, he wouldn't be able to understand it, maybe when Huaixu's memory recovered, he could understand it with the help of Huaixu.

But now Huai Xu only knows how to eat, drink and be merry.

There wasn't even a TV, and the process was a bit boring, but time went pretty fast before you knew it.

Maybe a long time ago, people's days passed quietly and slowly, right?

Number 20.

Zhou Li went out with them to chop wood for the first time.

It's just a bit of fun.

On the opposite hill, at the other end of the sea of clouds.

There is a dead wood forest here, which is very dry in the sun, and it is good firewood to cut it back, but it takes half an hour to walk.

Zheng Zhilan and Qinghe are not short of time.

For them, a day is a long one.

Zhou Li also helped chop, and seriously occupied the only firewood knife to satisfy his playfulness, but he quickly returned the firewood knife to Qinghe because he was embarrassed, and stood on the edge of the cliff with Huaixu to watch the scenery.

"Click!"

"I look at the photos you took!" Huai Xu leaned over with his feet, and after looking at it, he said, "It's beautiful!

"Yes. ”

Zhou Li looked at the other side again.

Looking at it this way, the small mountain village looks so small, looming in the depths of the clouds, but the mountain behind it is still majestic, and the mudslide still looks terrifying.

He always felt that the mudslide should have destroyed the whole village, but half of it seemed to be stopped by an external force.

That's a lot of luck......

Suddenly, a roar came, and Zhou Li looked over and saw the huge figure of the evil god undulating and shuttling in the clouds.

Huai Xu said: "You see this guy doesn't look like the TV series your brother watched a few days ago, what kind of game is it called, isn't there a fire-breathing monster in it?"

"Sort of. ”

"It's just that it doesn't breathe fire. Huai Xu said, and sighed a little, "This guy is so strong." ”

"It's the first time you've grown someone else's morale. Zhou Li felt novel, in his heart, Huaixu had always been the king of the mouth.

"Tell the truth!" Huai Xu said, "Do you remember that blood demon that day? He just woke up, his spiritual power is very weak, less than one percent of me, I think I must be a piece of cake if I want to make him, but after I arrived, I found out that he is also so fierce and seriously injured." As long as he had half the spiritual power in his heyday, I would have to run away. ”

"That's right. ”

Zhou Li also knew that the transformation of spiritual power into combat power was a complex process that took a lot of time and energy, so there were many big demons with terrifying spiritual power and thick breath, but they were not good at fighting.

Huai Xu is good at fighting, so he is afraid of heaven and earth.

According to Madoka and Old Gray, the blood demon is a natural predator and should be the most capable demon.

When you think about it, the evil gods are terrifying.

Huai Xu added: "I think among all the demons, there are probably few who can beat this guy alone, he must have been besieged back then, it's really pitiful." ”

Zheng Zhilan's voice came from behind him: "Go back." ”

Zhou Li and Huai Xu turned around, Qinghe had already carried firewood on his back, and they hurriedly followed.

After lunch, Zhou Li was about to go down the mountain.

Zheng Zhilan didn't show reluctance, she just sent Zhou Li along the path: "See you next time for the New Year, right?"

The voice is so soft.

Zhou Li nodded: "Mostly." ”

Zheng Zhilan hesitated: "Since you are going to college, I don't have anything to give you here, so I will give you a piece of jewelry, I hope you will have smooth sailing in college and have a good future." ”

Zhou Li and Huai Xu stopped and turned around at the same time.

Zheng Zhilan stretched out her hand and spread it out, and there was a thin golden chain in her palm.

Huai Xu said: "It's like a girl." ”

Zheng Zhilan's face flushed slightly: "I don't know what to give, I only have this shortage, and I haven't given anything to others, if you don't like it, you can put it away, if you are tight, you can exchange some money." ”

"Don't listen to him. ”

Zhou Li took the chain from her hand, and the palm of his hand was soft and a little warm.

Zheng Zhilan nodded and hummed: "Then I'll send you here." ”

"Okay, you can go back. ”

"If you need my help in trouble, call me, if it's a demon, I'll come to help you no matter how far away. ”

"You too. ”

"I went back. ”

"Slow down. ”

Zheng Zhilan turned around and left.

Huai Xu looked at the chain in Zhou Li's hand: "It's gold, it's very pure, right?

Zhou Li put it in his pocket.

Huai Xu pouted again: "You put it on and let me take a look?"

Zhou Li ignored him.

Huai Xu's eyes rolled, and he asked again: "Do you think that you are now like a girl in ancient times sending her husband to take the exam?"

Zhou Li quietly quickened his steps.
