Chapter 2 Reception in the Village
In the early morning of autumn, the sun was still shining in the clouds, reflecting the reddish shimmer through the light residual clouds. Today's weather is exceptionally refreshing, and it is also the first day after Luo Yao's rebirth.
"Auntie, it's early. I don't know where to find a thin hemp rope tied a low ponytail, Luo Yao, who had finished washing, looked out of the door, and saw the eldest lady holding forage to feed the big buffalo in the shed.
"Ouch, girl, wake up, how did you sleep last night?"
"Thank you for your concern, I slept well. ”
Luo Yao replied with a smile.
Standing at the door of the house and looking at the mountains in the distance, even in autumn, the emerald cypress trees cannot be sheltered, and the branches sway with the autumn wind in the early morning. Luo Yao was also thinking in her heart, how to go in the future, now that she is alone in this other world, where should she go. Last night, the eldest mother told her that there are immortals in this world, and decided to take the road of cultivating immortals, and wanted to transform from a people's policeman who punishes evil and promotes goodness to a righteous guest who knows magic.
Luo Yao walked to the cowshed and asked, "Auntie, is there any sect that accepts apprentices around here?"
"Sect, little girl, want to go to the sect to apprentice?"
The eldest lady asked suspiciously.
"Auntie, I won't lie to you, I don't know where to go now, I heard you last night, some immortal sects occasionally come to the mortal world to collect miscellaneous slaves, I just want to try my luck, after all, I am a flower child, no father and no mother, I want to try my luck, break through, in case I am appreciated by the immortals, there is a place to stay. ”
Luo Yao smiled back at the eldest mother.
"Little girl, I won't tell you, there is no gate sect in this area, and there is only one person who cultivates immortals in our entire Qingxia Town, that is, the rich family in that town, the Fang family, I heard that they have an old ancestor in the Fang family, who was accepted by the sect of the god sect, but the farmers in our rural mountain villages are also hearsay. ”
The eldest lady chattered and said, "And the little girl, you are all injured now, it is better to heal the injuries in my house, and the eldest lady has no shortage of food for you at home." ”
"Thank you for taking it in, don't worry, I won't eat and drink in vain, I can help you do any work. ”
Luo Yao thought about it, the injuries on his body were still faintly painful, and he still waited for the bruises to disperse before making plans.
At this time, the uncle who went out was stepping into the courtyard gate, and said with a smile: "Little girl, what kind of work are you doing with your little body, take care of your body, become beautiful and marry a good family." ”
"Don't make fun of other girls, come in and have breakfast. ”
On the dinner table, simple porridge and pickles, plus four steamed buns.
"Auntie, uncle, my name is Luo Yao, you can call me Xiao Yao in the future. Luo Yao felt that it was quite interesting to call it a girl or a little girl at this time.
In the afternoon, Luo Yao went out with his uncle and aunt, at this time the sun was slightly slanting, the autumn breeze was blowing, and the mottled shadows of trees were reflected on the village road.
"Yo, Aunt Wang, when did you have a lovely little girl in your family. An old woman under an old banyan tree glanced at Aunt Wang.
"Ouch, isn't this Miao Cuihua from our village, Miao Da matchmaker? Why, I like my daughter, I can tell you, don't beat my daughter's idea, this child is the granddaughter of my distant aunt, and she will be my own daughter in the future." Aunt Wang walked forward with a hoe and responded.
"Xiao Yao, you just sit on the ridge, your uncle and I will go down to the field to release water, and we will go home after a while. Aunt Wang said to Luo Yao while pulling her trouser legs.
"Okay, auntie, be careful, I'll wait for you. ”
Luo Yao found a flat place to sit. There are also a few clumps of wildflowers growing next to it, and the light blue ones are very beautiful. Half an hour later, Luo Yao couldn't sit still, and walked around the field slowly.
Occasionally look up at the distant peaks. Suddenly, he stopped, through the layers of mountains, he was attracted by the faint dragon-shaped peaks, and his eyes gradually emptied, Luo Yao did not notice at this time, the two silver eyes were filled with mist, and gradually formed the long shadow of a flying dragon.
The silver pupils gradually changed, and suddenly, the golden pupils covered the entire pupils, the expression was sluggish, and the vertical pupils bloomed with a huge aura, surrounding Luo Yao's body, slowly wrapping the entire body, and the smoke was filled, looking like a pale golden dragon extorting its own food from a distance.
"You're finally back, God in the night, you're finally back, God in the night, you're finally back, God in the night~~" At this moment, Luo Yao's mind kept echoing such an ancient and full sentence of vicissitudes.
"Who are you, who are you talking?" Luo Yao was suddenly awakened by the voice in his head, and shouted loudly in his heart.
"Supreme God, come and save your servants, Supreme God, come and save your servants, Supreme God, come and save your servants~" And the voice in his head kept chattering, completely ignoring Luo Yao's heart.
"You come out of me, out of my body. Luo Yao was about to collapse because of this voice, he was very panicked, and shouted more fiercely.
"Hey, hey, don't say it again, don't say it again. The voice in his head suddenly boiled, Luo Yao found that his head was about to collapse, the sound of vicissitudes of life echoed non-stop, holding his head and squatting on the ground, at this time I wanted to roll on the ground again, relieve the pain a little.
And in Luo Yao's invisible mind, golden light bloomed, filling every corner of his mind, there was a seed suspended in the center of his mind, and the golden light wrapped the black seed, and the ancient voice was emanating from the seed, and the seed was engraved with golden runes, which were profound and mysterious. And countless runes are peeling off from the seeds one by one, churning in his mind, Luo Yao's mind is wider and vast than ordinary people, the golden light and the scattered runes are gradually fused, infiltrating every inch of his mind, and then, the black seeds are slowly shaking, as the golden runes are peeling off more and more, the seeds are shaking faster and faster, as if they are about to jump out of his mind. Luo Yao's body curled up tighter and tighter as the seeds shook, and he was about to suffocate in pain.
The seed in his mind seemed to find that his master was about to die under his own toss, and finally stopped shaking when the last rune was peeled off his body, and continued to stay in the center of his mind, and the voice also stopped there.
Luo Yao didn't know that she was not the so-called soul piercing, but rebirth.
"Xiao Yao, go home. The loud shout startled Luo Yao, who was squatting on the ground.
"Okay, go home. Luo Yao, who came back to his senses, forgot everything that had happened just now and ran to Aunt Wang.
At night, the black clouds are low, and the dark sky is overwhelming, and early autumn is indeed a changeable season. Luo Yao, who was lying on the bed, couldn't sleep, put on his coat, stood by the window, and looked into the distance.
Suddenly, a faint firelight crossed the mountains in the distance, Luo Yao was startled, rubbed his eyes, and the firelight had disappeared. Secretly thought to himself that maybe he was looking badly, and at this time, Luo Yao, who was a little sleepy, walked to the side of the bed, lay down on the bed and gradually fell asleep.
The next day, the weather was not as clear as yesterday's, and the clouds hung upside down in the sky, just to hide the dazzling golden light, and today it was a cloudy day without wind and rain. Luo Yao, who got up early, followed Mrs. Wang and her family to dig wild vegetables on the mountain behind the village, and Mrs. Wang said that there are some herbs in the back mountain to treat bruises and trauma, cough and phlegm, and collect some to dry and take to the town to sell.
"Xiao Yao, come here, we are lucky today, just went up the mountain and found the copper hammer grass, the copper hammer grass is a good thing, not only to treat bruises, but also to treat scalds, the whole plant soaked in wine, wiped the affected area, reduce swelling and remove stasis, very fast, aunt get you more, go back to us to make medicinal wine, wipe it for you. As he spoke, he took the small hoe and put it into the basket one by one.
"We, we can be regarded as catching the end of summer, these herbs, June and July is the best time to collect, I didn't expect that it is now September, and it is rare to encounter this herb. ”
"Lady, look, there's a plant here, and a little blue flower, what kind of grass is this? ”
Luo Yao, who was rummaging around, happily pointed to an emerald green stem grass with a crystal blue flower, and three short green round leaves hidden under the flower.
"Let me take a look, I've never seen this flower before, it looks so special, why don't we dig it up and plant it in our yard? The eldest lady said hesitantly.
"What are you looking at, muttering, see that I have dug a basket of amaranth, longevity vegetables, and can cook a lot of vegetable cakes. Uncle Wang shouted happily.
"Come here, don't chatter, look what kind of grass this is, crystal clear, I've never seen such a rare thing. ”
"Hey, I haven't seen this thing either, do you think it could be fairy grass? I heard that fairy grass grows like water and water, or we dig it up and plant it in the yard?" Uncle Wang said mysteriously.
As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Wang next to her couldn't wait to start digging grass.
In less than half a moment, the soil around the "fairy grass" was dug up completely, and the depth was about a foot. After finishing the work, the family is also ready to go home to make cakes and take a lunch break.
Back home, Aunt Wang went to the kitchen to cook amaranth and green onion cakes, and Luo Yao followed Uncle Wang to the vegetable garden full of green onions next to the fence to dig a pit and plant the transplanted "fairy grass".
Time flies, and the days slip away overnight.
At night, the breeze blew the emaciated face, the two strands of yellowish hair on the sideburns shook gently, Luo Yao, as usual, stood by the windowsill, looked at the mountains from afar, and looked up at the night sky.
Tonight's moonlight is a little desolate. I have been living in Chiyuan Village for more than a month, and the injuries on my body have been completely healed, and I live a dull life with Aunt Wang and Uncle Wang every day.
After several days of cultivation, the fairy grass in the garden swayed in the autumn wind, and under the moonlight, it emitted a faint silver light, if you don't look closely, it looks like a streamer under the polar moonlight.
