Chapter 3 Togetherness

Yan Che was learning to plant rice in the field with great interest, and the old man who didn't know Yan Che's true identity was still teaching him hand in hand. Honest and honest farmers guide Yan Che on how to plant the seedlings correctly, so that the seedlings will grow and grow into a lush rice plant in the future. Yan Che felt that the old man was reasonable, and felt that the people knew that if a big tree wanted to grow well, it must be cultivated correctly from the time it was still a seedling. It's just that no one in the kings here knows this truth, and they regard the powerful as tools for their own selfish desires. Look at the world, there will be teenagers who will not learn how to stand in society, but will have to pick up weapons and face endless training all day in the barracks, and wars that will surely break out in the future.

After a while, Yan Che planted all the seedlings. The old man's land is not very large, and it doesn't take much time. At this time, it was already noon, and the old man's wife was coming to bring him food.

Seeing his wife coming, the old man couldn't get enough of talking to Yan Che about what happened to him some time ago.

"Presumably, Childe should also know that the past few days have been snowing heavily, and it is a heavy snow that has not been seen in a century, and it is more violent than any previous year. This snowstorm is not only violent, but also eats people! As long as you stay in the snow for a moment, you will immediately freeze into a snowman. At that time, my wife was worried that the chickens outside the house would freeze to death, so she opened the door and went out. As a result, not long after walking out of the room, she froze on the ground and did not move. I was anxious, so I went out to bring her back, but as soon as I touched her, I felt that my body was also unconscious, and finally I closed my eyes and didn't know anything. At first, I didn't know how long it took, but I only knew that I could open my eyes and be with my wife. Later, I heard from the villagers that many people, like us, were originally frozen to death, but then the snow melted, and the winter suddenly passed, and all the people who were frozen to death came back to life. The villagers all felt that it was the gods who blessed and saved the world. ”

As soon as he heard that the old man said that God had saved them, Yan Che was suddenly unhappy in his heart. You know, it was God who wanted to destroy mankind, and it was the demons who saved them. This fact is actually reversed in the eyes of human beings, and the god who harms people has actually become the savior, so isn't the efforts of Yan Che and his party in vain?

The old man smiled heartily in front of Yan Che, of course Yan Che didn't have to tell him the truth, it didn't make any sense. When the old man's wife was about to approach, the wife hurriedly beckoned to her and shouted at her: "Old woman, this son is a rich and noble family from the city, you must treat them well." ”

When the old man's wife heard this, she hurriedly responded: "Oh, there are officials coming." This was originally brought to the old man's lunch, but the coarse tea and light rice can't entertain the guests, so it's better to invite the officials to sit at home!"

The old lady walked along the ridge with a rice basket in her hand, until she approached Yan Che's side, saw Yan Che's clothes, and a pair of horns on Yan Che's forehead that humans would not have, and immediately froze, looking at Yan Che in amazement.

The old man saw that his wife was suddenly standing stupidly as if he had never seen the world, and hurriedly waved her hand to ask her to come over and ask Yan Che for peace, so as not to let the nobles think that they were rude. The old lady reluctantly approached the old man, not daring to approach Yan Che, and looked at Yan Che with suspicion. It wasn't until he was face to face with Yan Che that he finally confirmed that it was correct, hit the old man with his elbow, and said softly: "Are you blind, this is not a noble son, this is a demon!"

The old man thought that his wife was talking nonsense, and immediately corrected: "Don't talk nonsense." This boy is very kind, and he just took the initiative to learn how to plant rice. That demon is a heinous race, and everyone hates it, how can he be so kind as this son. ”

Seeing that the old man hadn't recognized the reality yet, his wife reminded him to look at the horns on Yan Che's head, saying that it was only a demon. Looking at the people watching not far away, there were two or three people in the crowd who didn't look like people at all, weren't they demons? The old man suddenly woke up at this time, he didn't expect that he would say such disrespectful words in front of the people of the demon race, and this demon could eat him at any time. The old man immediately weakened his legs, fell to his knees in fright, and begged Yan Che for mercy. His wife also knelt down and apologized for her husband's wild words just now, asking Yan Che to spare the lives of their family.

Yan Che naturally wouldn't kill innocents indiscriminately because of this kind of thing, this kind of thing was already commonplace when he was only a few years old, and he was even more accustomed to it in the world. But he can't show that the demon really doesn't have any majesty at all, maybe he should act like the old man said, it is impossible for the demon to coexist peacefully with humans after all.

Yan Che shook off the mud from his feet and put back on his shoes. Then he said to the old couple: "I really feel a little hungry when I hear you say that. ”

This frightened the old couple a lot, and the thought that the demon was going to open his bloody mouth and eat them raw, the wife fainted with fright at first. Then the old man watched his wife not wake up, and kowtowed to Yan Che with his old body. When the old man's head was about to touch the ground, Yan Che grabbed him with one hand. And being touched by Yan Che like this, the old man was so frightened that he trembled, and his body unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat. Then he slowly raised his head.

I saw that Yan Che's face still looked like a handsome son, and he didn't have the ugly face he imagined. Yan Che picked up the old man, then picked up the basket that the old lady had just dropped on the ground, and when he opened it, he found that there was a bowl of rice and a bowl of wild vegetables.

"Old man, you eat these things on weekdays?"

Yan Che's question hadn't made the old man wake up from his fear, and he paused for a moment before responding: "Yes, being able to have a bowl of rice is content." I'm with the boss with a bone, it's not easy to gnaw, and I ask the Demon King to let us go. ”

"Who said I was going to eat you," Yan Che didn't move the bowl of rice, he took a vegetable leaf from the bowl of wild vegetables from his fingers and put it in his mouth, the taste was really bitter, the taste of wild vegetables was as astringent as tree bark, "It's almost the New Year, you only eat these for the New Year?"

The old man didn't expect Yan Che to know that humans would celebrate the New Year, and what was even more surprising was that the demon didn't eat meat and actually became a vegetarian. "The two sons of the family have gone out to serve in the army, and we have given the meat to our grandchildren, and there is no need for those who are half buried in the soil to eat meat. During the Chinese New Year, my wife would slaughter a chicken and give it to her sons who came home for the Chinese New Year. ”

After listening to the old man's words, Yan Che re-covered the vegetable basket and said to him: "Old man, take care of your health, soon there will be no more wars in this world, and your sons don't have to be soldiers." In the future, not only will there be meat to eat during the New Year, but there will be meat every day. With that, Yan Che put down the basket and walked back to the demons, following them to the west.

When the old man saw Yan Che and the others leaving, he couldn't believe that the demon hadn't killed them, and even what he said to him in the end made him foggy. He hurriedly woke up his wife, and the two of them stood up with each other's arms, still unable to believe that the fierce and vicious demon rumored in everyone's mouth had let them go like this.

Yan Che and they don't need to eat often, but they do encounter a lot of food in the human world that they haven't seen in the Demon Realm. It was the development of cooking, and the deep understanding of the use of fire. The dishes that Hua Yao and Hua Rui will make are actually passed on from human cooking methods. Along the way, they ate and drank, and they didn't give money when they ate, like ruffians and hooligans. But no one dares to take care of such ruffians like them, and even more local officials, even if they are just a township-level official, know that Yan Che passes by, and they will let the villagers line up in two rows on the road to greet them, and directly deliver local specialties. This Qi country is indeed rich, but the gap between the rich and the poor is very large, and it is precisely because of the gap that people will be jealous. Yan Che clearly understood this, and the kings of all dynasties and dynasties could only sit comfortably in their positions if they really took care of the people at the bottom. At the beginning, Jin Shijie, the tyrant here, was ousted by Yan Che, maybe it was just time in advance.

When it comes to Jin Shijie, what is he doing this time? After he withdrew from the troops of the former Three Kingdoms Alliance Army in Fushun, he followed Granny Xiyin and met a person he had never seen before, only recorded in the history books. This man has a pair of black wings, which is the same feathered man who lives in the sky, has a pair of bird wings, and barely appears on the ground.

After that feather man met them, he actually wanted to take them into the sky! This is a fool's dream in the eyes of normal people.

But in this bizarre world, anything is possible. At this moment, Chongming transformed into a giant bird with seven colors, carried everyone on his back, and then flew into the sky with the feathered people. In the darkness of the night, no one noticed at all that a group of people flew into the sky under the cover of the night.

It was the first time for Jin Shijie to be in the sky, overlooking the world under his feet, and the farther away he was, the more he suddenly felt like a superior person. At that time, the stars in the sky were suddenly obscured by a dark shadow, and the leader of the feathered people said to them, "We have arrived. ”

When everyone got closer and closer to the black shadow, they suddenly saw the true face of the black shadow: this black image was a big fish with wings, the shark's fin spread for dozens of kilometers, and the head to the tail of the fish was longer. This is the legendary Kunpeng, the other of the only two in the world in the Dead Sea of the Demon Realm, because it has grown wings, it can no longer land, and can only fly in the air all the time. And the feather people are just going to bring them into the back of this divine beast!

Returning to Yan Che's side, they went all the way west, first to Jiang Country. When he arrived in Jiang Country, he did not go to the village where Fu Qinggu was. Because Yin had already brought back a piece of bacon before, telling Yan Che that she would not follow her to the wedding of the green wolf. So Yan Che carried it all the way, and the group took the attention of countless people on the road, and those who watched them were all scared. After all, Yan Qinghou had brought the people here to attack him before. However, Yan Che didn't stay in those places for long, and after walking for seven days, he arrived at Beiliang.

At the foot of Beiliang Mountain, the white wolf on the mountainside knew that an acquaintance was coming under the mountain. She didn't come down herself, but the animals that lived in the snowy mountains came out to meet them. These animals are supposed to hibernate in the cold winter, but they can wake up early from the cold winter when the snow recedes and the trees begin to sprout. That kind of situation is very difficult to see in the eyes of ordinary people, a group of all kinds of animals, getting along well, greeting a few demons at the bottom of the mountain...... The world is so big that there are no surprises.

It was just nightfall, and when we reached the mountainside, Bellelan was already waiting. Behind him was still the snow-capped mountains, which were the junction. The white wolf did not appear, and according to Balelan, he bought some of the tribe's women's wedding clothes from the tribe according to human custom, and put them on her. Although the white wolf and the green wolf are both werewolves, they actually have a sense of ritual like humans, and hold weddings according to human customs. In normal times, if one of them agrees, the other party can take the subject directly into the cave to have sex. It may be that the ritualization and sacredization of simple actions is a supplement to the spiritual world of human beings.

That night, they lit a bonfire, and a group of non-talking animals surrounded the demons and the others in the middle, and quietly watched the white wolf come out of the cave, dressed in human women's costumes, and painted some rouge. The green wolf couldn't bear his character, and wanted to pounce directly, but he was pulled by everyone so that he was not embarrassed. Later, a few rare guests came, and that was the martial saint Balie Tiehao. He was the last of Baleland's relatives, and it was Balelan who invited him over to the White Wolf's wedding.

The two groups of people can be said to be incompatible people, but today they actually sit together for the wedding of the two wolves, and they have to drink and talk together, which is really interesting. During this period, Balie Tiehao did not forget to say: "After tonight, we will be enemies again." ”

Yan Che replied with a smile: "That's right. Therefore, you have to cherish this time today, because when you meet again in the future, you will not laugh like today. ”

Balek Tiehao laughed, brought mare's milk wine from the tribe, filled a cup with himself, and threw it to Yan Che. Yan Che took the bag of mare's milk wine and poured a glass as well. The two men raised their glasses and drank them all. Why can't this kind of picture become a reality?
