Soon Yejiabao had a family of outsiders with the surname Nian. The man goes out of the city every day to chop wood, and the woman stays at home all day long, only a little daughter, who buys vegetables and grain every day, and because she is well-behaved and eloquent, she soon won the favor of the neighbors around her.

"Ling'er, is your father at home?"

The voice of a middle-aged woman came from outside the door, this person was a land-sitting household in Yejiabao, Ye Fangde's daughter-in-law.

"Aunt Ye, my father hasn't come back yet. Now the family is at home with my mother and Ling'er. Is there something wrong with my aunt coming to Daddy?"

Qi Ling obediently greeted the hall, and saw Ye standing outside the door, constantly probing in. Seeing the little girl come out, Ye looked at the lovely person in front of him happily.

Entering the room, Ye Shi drank tea while chatting with the same year. Because Nian's body was weak, he didn't come out to accept Ye's meaning.

When Nian Zhong returned with a bag of salt beans and raised his eyes to see the strange woman in the room, he was a little surprised. After being introduced by Qi Ling, he greeted him with a smile on his face.

After a little chat, Ye got to the point.

"The concubine is the only son in the family, Shaoling, who is now twelve. This Yejiabao is very xenophobic, so it is very sad to want to be in charge of the family here in the coming year to earn a living, right? I have heard that in other towns, how can you have an income of seven or eight silver coins a month, but in Yejiabao, the year of the family is hard for a month, can you receive five silver coins a month in the end?"

Ye said it easily, but this was also a difficult thing in Nian Zhong's heart. If it weren't for the few gold coins left by Xiao Yat, Nian Zhong would not have spent his life here to support his family.

But he couldn't understand why the other party would mention his family's only son, which didn't seem to have anything to do with the price of firewood and grass, right?

Seeing that Nian Zhong bowed his head and was silent, the Ye family struck while the iron was hot and said: "Nian is in charge, your family Ling'er is well-behaved and lovely, so as long as our two families can get married, then as the Ye family's relatives and in-laws, it is not good for the residents here to deliberately make things difficult, right?"

Ye said it easily, but the matter of marrying a daughter shocked Nian Zhong's heart.

Although Qi Ling looks like she is only seven or eight years old, she actually has a lifespan of nearly three thousand. If you can get married and have children in the human world, it is suddenly what the young couple wants. But in three or five years, Ling'er's inability to develop will be discovered by the people of the Ye family. In this way, the secrets that he has painstakingly hidden will be revealed to the world. So although the other party's proposal can be said to be goodwill, Nian Zhong never dared to agree.

"Sister-in-law, forgive me! The little girl had already pointed to the marriage back then, so the sister-in-law's kindness Nian Zhong had to say sorry. Nian Mou is barely living here, and it won't be long before he will go to Beiji to send his little girl over to get married. So Nian made amends to his sister-in-law here. ”

Nian Zhong stood up and saluted, although he couldn't see clearly, but Nian Ling saw a displeased look on Ye's face.

"Nian is in charge! This finger is mostly a joke for marriage, not to mention that the so-called finger man who is in charge of the year is no more than nine years old, right? What can such a child help the Nian family? Regardless of the appearance or background of my Shaoling, is there anything that does not suit the mind of the young man? Besides, ...... in the future?"

Ye looked at the door mysteriously, and said softly: "In the future, my Shaoling family will follow the immortal cultivation and marry the dog, then he can become the family of the immortal." Looking back and getting a little benefit from the immortals, Ling'er Niang's body can also be healed, isn't it? Immortals! What kind of existence does that have? To be honest, if you can have a husband like Shaoling, you can also glorify your ancestors when you are in charge, right?"

Ye said that he spit lotus flowers, but this is the most tempting words of others, but it is the biggest concern in Nian Zhong. The higher Ye Shaoling's cultivation, the more dangerous it is for the spirit.

After some persuasion, Nian Zhong was not shaken in the end, and finally Ye got up angrily and walked out of the door without looking back. When the time comes, he will only let Nian Ling enter the Ye family as a concubine.

Nian Zhong had lunch with his family, and then rested.

During this time, he gave up his hobby, and used all the wine money to buy all kinds of clothes for Ling'er, from seven or eight years old to his twenties, and even prepared a bunch of clothes for his future grandson. He was sure that he would not have a chance to wait until the child was born. They even worry about whether the spirit will grow up.

Two days later, Nian Zhong was selling dry firewood on the street, but in the morning, no one came to ask the price. It was almost noon, and finally a middle-aged man walked up to him.

"How do you sell this firewood and grass?"

The other party was dressed in a black robe and wore a Wensheng son's scarf on his head. Nian Zhong couldn't see the specific appearance, but despite this, he still said softly: "This uncle, there are twenty copper coins for a load of firewood." This is the lowest price on the street. ”

"Twenty? Are you sure this load of firewood is not wet? Others are asking for thirty copper coins a load! You are so cheap, there must be a problem, right?"

The man looked at Nian Zhong suspiciously, then bent down and began to look at the firewood and grass. In the end, he confirmed that there was nothing wrong with this load of firewood, and Nian Zhong also helped him carry it home for free.

"Hurry up! Why are you walking so slowly? Don't you want to wait until all the firewood sellers on the street are gone, and then increase the price on the spot? Tell you, I, Ye Tianlang, will not let you increase the price! In this Yejiabao, if you want to ...... with me?"

"Uncle, the little one has an eye disease, and he didn't deliberately delay the delivery. I hope the uncle can be considerate. ”

Nian Zhong explained aloud as he walked. A load of firewood and grass is usually very heavy, but today he didn't drink a sip of water, and now he is already a little exhausted.

Finally walked to an alley, Ye Tianlang asked Nian Zhong to put down the firewood and grass and wait here.

"I'll go home first and say hello and see where the firewood and grass are put later. If you let the guests see you wandering around the yard with a load of firewood, won't it provoke the disdain of others?"

A load of firewood and grass will be despised, and Nian Zhong will not believe it if he is killed. But since the other party said it, then he could only wait obediently in the corner.

Ye Tianlang went into the courtyard and didn't come out for half an hour, Nian Zhong was tired and thirsty at this time, but the other party was the only customer today, and he really couldn't leave.

Overhead, the attic window was pushed open, and a basin of cold water was poured down. A load of firewood and grass was all wet on the body of the same year, and before he could look up to find the person who splashed the water, the gate of the courtyard was suddenly pushed open, and Ye Tianlang hurriedly walked out.

"Alright, let's carry the firewood and grass to the back room. Don't step on the flowers and plants planted by your wife after walking, you will definitely ......"

Halfway through his words, he saw Nian Zhong, who was covered in water, and asked suspiciously: "It's not hot anymore, why are you sweating so much?"

Nian Zhong knew that the other party was deliberately trying to make things difficult for him, so he didn't say anything, threw a wet load of firewood on the side of a small road, walked to Baweiju and bought half a duck, and then walked home slowly.

As soon as he entered the door, he ran out with joy. When she saw that Nian Zhong was embarrassed, although most of the cold water on her body had evaporated, the embarrassment splashed by the water was clear at a glance.

"Daddy, what's wrong? My clothes are dirty, my hair is wet?"

Nian Zhong took Bupa and wiped his face, and explained with a smile: "Dad, it's okay! I walked more than 10 miles! But the price they gave was good! As soon as they carried firewood, they gave them 50 copper coins. And it was agreed that in a few days, I asked my father to send them a load. On the way back, my father was in a hurry, so I sweated a little more, but fortunately, there were several eldest sisters washing clothes by the well, so my father begged for water to pour on his body to cool off the heat. Happy today, Dad bought half a duck, wait for you to eat it with your mother. ”

Nian Ling cut the duck open, took out Nian's from the room, and beckoned Nian Zhong to come over for dinner. But Nian Zhongtui said that he had just eaten, and he was still a little drunk, so he went into the back room to rest by himself.

For five days in a row, the firewood and grass in the middle of the year were either ignited by firecrackers, or splashed with dirty water, or no one cared about them all day.

Although he went out for a day and got nothing, Nian Zhong would come back every day with cooked vegetables, and he didn't see that he was being harassed by others outside.

In the evening, Ye Shi walked outside the door, looked at Nian Zhong who was sitting alone drinking tea, and said in a strange manner: "Nian is in charge, today's business is good?

If Nian Zhong can leave, he will leave this place with his wife and daughter as soon as possible. But at the moment he can't. When Xiao Yi left the previous time, he made it clear that there was still one passage, so in order to send the spirit back to the Demon Domain, he had to stay and wait for Xiao Yi's return.

"Thank you Sister-in-law Ye for your kindness, a certain business has been pretty good these days. The younger brother is tired, if the sister-in-law has nothing important, then please come back early! ”

Ye Shi saw that Nian Zhong didn't want to take care of himself, so he said provocatively: "How can I hear the neighbors on the street say today, you haven't opened for five or six days in a row? Why don't I take care of your business tomorrow? Send a load of firewood to my house? By the way, take the spirit girl to the door to recognize it?"

Nian Zhong was about to refuse, but suddenly the door curtain was opened first, and Nian Ling walked out obediently.

"Thank you aunt for taking care of your father's business, and Qi Ling will accompany your father to deliver firewood early tomorrow morning. When the time comes, the spirit will have to ask the aunt for a female red!"

When the Ye family heard this, he immediately went back with a smile on his face, leaving Nian Zhong sitting in the hall with a sad face.

"Ling'er, how can you agree to her request? no matter how dad can't make you commit to marrying a young man!"

When Qi Ling heard this, he chuckled and said with relief: "Daddy thinks too much, Ling'er wants to say that Daddy wants to delay her family for a year and a half with her daughter being young." Just wait for the return of our predecessors, let's return to the Demon Domain, why should we be coerced by them?"

Seeing that Nian Zhong was hesitant, Qi Ling hurriedly stepped up and said, "Daddy must have been troubled by this Ye family recently. Let's stay here, don't be too tough. We only need to pretend to agree, and then we can live here in peace. ”

Although Nian Zhong was reluctant, in order to send his daughter back, he had no choice but to respond to the matter with tears.

The next day, Nian Zhong went out of the city early in the morning to call for firewood, and when he returned home, he was accompanied by Ling'er and sent to Ye's house.

"If we are married, it can be regarded as a success, right?"

Ye Shi did not invite Nian Zhong to sit down, and she herself sat on the embroidery pier in a big way, slowly blowing the foam in the cup.

"What my sister-in-law said is exact. Last night, Nian talked about this matter with Ling'er's mother, and she said that Ling'er was young, and it was a little too early to make peace with her relatives. No matter how my family can't send an ignorant child to take care of my sister-in-law's family, don't you? You see, after two years, when Qiling turns ten years old, let her marry again, so that she can not only enter the filial piety of her daughter-in-law, but also allow her to accompany her mother for two more years. I don't know ......."

"Why is it so troublesome? I also like Ling'er's child, even if she marries, my family will treat her like her own daughter. And where will she be allowed to do any heavy work? Those trivial tasks will naturally be taken care of by the subordinates. The young master also knows that my Ye family is also a big family, there is a long-term worker in the family, and a girl is called, and your Ling'er marrying is the life of a young grandmother. I think the twenty-third of this month is very auspicious! The fifth aunt next door said that when she got married that day, she would benefit her parents and have many children, and if she turned around and took her mother over to live with her, her health would also improve, right?"

Although Nian Zhong shirked in every possible way, Ye seemed to recognize that he was going to marry Nian Ling that month, and he did not have the slightest intention of relenting.

At noon, Nian Zhong took Nian Ling to eat a good meal on the street, bought a new set of clothes, and when he stayed at home, Nian Ling asked softly: "Daddy, don't buy these for Ling'er anymore." Keep the money and live with your mother. Another day, Ling'er will be able to get married, and she should be able to ......"

"Don't say it, there's nothing to pack up in this house, and then Daddy will take you and your mother out of here. ”

Seeing that Nian Zhong was determined to leave, Nian Ling couldn't help but sigh. What she has always been most worried about is that her father and mother accompany her to return to the Demon Realm, and now that she can stay in this world, even if she eats chaff vegetables, it is a kind of happiness to have her father and mother here.

"You stupid boy, what's so happy? Let's leave, you will never grow up! In this life, your father and mother owe you, but compared to letting you marry a woman against your will, what does it matter if Ling'er doesn't grow up in her life?"

"Let's not go! just wait here for the Demon Realm Passage to open. If they insist on going their own way, then we will destroy them!"

Nian groped out of the inner room, and the originally kind woman actually exuded an awe-inspiring murderous aura at this time.

"Yingning! No, this realm is not a demon realm, and we can't kill recklessly. Wait and leave with Ling'er, and turn around to protect your mother and daughter for your husband and leave safely. ”

Nian looked at Nian Zhong without a look, and said sadly: "Zhong Lang! You can't exert the combat power of the past now! Although this realm is not a demon realm, the demonic qi in Ying Ning's body should be able to exert some of its abilities. Anyway, Ying Ning is also a waste person in this realm, so it's up to me to buy you some time! After all, this is Yejiabao, even if you find traces of the demon clan, it won't cause any panic, in the future, you live well with Ling'er, don't let her return to the demon realm. ”

Nian's attitude is resolute, but no matter who is in danger of his wife and daughter, it is something that Nian Zhong cannot accept.

"No, you all listen to me! Let's go right away, don't delay any longer. ”

Nian Zhong just cleaned up a little, and then took the mother and daughter towards the outside of Yejiabao. It was only when they arrived at the city gate that they were stopped by a man in black robes.

"No wonder the second sister-in-law said that you have a problem, if a person with a foreign surname like you could enter and exit freely in our Yejiabao in the early years? But the doorman monk can erase a part of your sanity. Now that the Ye family has fallen, I didn't expect that a group of you mortals would dare to provoke the existence of the Ye family. Don't say that Ye Mou bullies the small, today are you going back obediently and waiting to marry your daughter, or will you leave your head behind?

With a wave of his hand, the black-robed man slowly rose to the ground around him. Although the largest of these gravels was no more than the size of a fist, a person could perform such an immortal method out of thin air, and any mortal would be shocked.

Seeing that the three members of the family were not surprised this year, the black-robed man immediately thought that he should have heard the prestige of the cultivator from the Ye family. It's just that if you don't give the other party a little power, you can't deter these mortals after all.

The black-robed man flicked his fingers, and several stones shot at the Nian family at a rapid pace.

"But in the early stage of Qi training, is it so vicious?"

Nian Zhong took off the necklace around his neck, and with a shake of the sleeves of his robe, he blocked in front of his wife and daughter.

"Puff puff ......"

There were several muffled sounds, and the stones hit the back of Nian Zhong's robe, although the other party's cultivation was insufficient, but this kind of flying stone did not rely on spiritual power attacks, but the speed and strength of the stones.

Nian Zhong let out a muffled snort, then looked down at his wife and daughter, and asked softly, "Are you all right?"

"Who the hell are you, how can you withstand Ye's blow?"

The black-robed man took a step back, and then took out a blue spirit rune, which instantly turned into a streamer and flew towards the castle.

"Ye Jiabao Ye Tianlang, dare to ask Your Excellency what to call him?"

The black-robed man looked at the three of them cautiously, hoping that the reinforcements in the family would arrive as soon as possible.

"Brother Ye, Nian still has to hurry, I hope Brother Ye can make it convenient. ”

Nian Zhong turned around, and at this time, all the demonic energy on his body had been released. A team of Ye family monks rushed behind him, only to see the confrontation between the two sides, and they were shocked by the pure demonic qi released by Nian Zhong.

"You're not mortal!"

An old man in a gray robe sensed the breath released by Nian Zhong, and his face couldn't help but change.

"Your Excellency's aura is quite similar to that of the old sect master. Could it be that Your Excellency is also a Terran monk contaminated with demonic energy?"

Seeing that the other party saw through it, Nian Zhong was not surprised. But his refusal to answer made the gray-robed old man no longer calm.

"The current patriarch of Yejiabao, Ye Zonglin pays a visit to his seniors! I hope that my seniors can help Yejiabao restore its former glory!"

For a while, the attitude of the Ye family made Nian Zhong a little confused. However, the other party obviously regarded the Nian family as the only hope, and the previous intention of killing was gone at this time.

Yejiabao Inner City ......

Although the Ye family has been suppressed by many monks, it is not as good as before. However, as long as the family secret land can be activated, then it can be restored to its former glory. Zong Lin is not talented, and he is willing to sacrifice his liver and courage for his predecessors, and he will never give up. This ......"

Ye Zonglin held an oath scroll in both hands and said in a trembling voice: "This is part of the Saint Clan's elixir and holy weapons hidden by the Ye family. As long as the seniors make an oath to help the Ye family regroup, all these will be handed over to the seniors. ”

Ye Zonglin raised the oath roll above his head, and didn't see the other party's movement for a long time, so he hurriedly added: "Don't blame the seniors! Originally, these things Zonglin should have been handed over to the seniors unconditionally." However, Zong Lin signed the oath scroll back then, so the place where the treasure was hidden could only be known if the seniors signed the oath scroll. Otherwise...... Otherwise, there would be no way to know the location of those holy treasures. ”
