Chapter 40: Muling Village

Mei Niang had already mobilized her nerves to the most alert level at this time, because she found that here, although her spiritual power could still be used, her perception seemed to be blocked, and she couldn't feel even the slightest danger nearby.

The grass is very soft, the grass is full of wild flowers, the scenery is refreshing, and even the breeze is full of the fragrance of flowers and plants, but Mei Niang feels that the quieter it is, the more unreassuring it is.

After looking around very cautiously, Mei Niang walked towards a slope, because the terrain there was also open, even if there was danger, she could deal with it as soon as possible.

This side is completely different from the dense forest, but it is similar to Liuxi Town, where Mei Niang was born, but it is more beautiful.

Although Mei Niang didn't walk very fast, she still stood on the dirt slope after ten minutes, and then Mei Niang froze.

Below the dirt slope, there is actually a small mountain village, which is dotted with many houses, some of which even have cooking smoke floating on them.

On the road of the small mountain village, there are some passers-by, children playing, and some small animals that look like poultry, flapping their wings happily, chasing each other, a peaceful and calm appearance.

Mei Niang looked back at the meadow where she came, and there was no change, it seemed that in addition to the meadow, it was this small mountain village, and according to Mei Niang's thoughts, the demonic beasts that might have disappeared here were nowhere to be found.

After a while, Mei Niang really couldn't figure out what the situation was, it seemed that the only way was to go to this village to inquire and see where this place was and if there was a way out.

After making up her mind, Mei Niang walked towards the mountain village, but she still did not let down her vigilance, and in the process of walking, she was still trying to perceive the situation nearby, but the facts seemed to tell her that it was not her perception that was the problem, but that there was really no danger in the vicinity.

At Mei Niang's speed, it also only took ten minutes, she appeared in front of the first house at the entrance of the village, compared with standing on the top of the small dirt slope, this village seems to be larger, although each family is relatively close, but it is not close to each other, each family's yard is not small, not only grow some vegetables in it, but also raise some poultry.

At this time, a middle-aged woman walked over in the distance, followed by a jumping child, and the others were far away from Mei Niang, and Mei Niang walked over to her.

In order not to scare the village woman, Mei Niang deliberately slowed down, and that's it, and in about five minutes, the woman still found Mei Niang.

"Mother, who is this beautiful little brother?" the child's immature voice sounded, and at the same time looked at Mei Niang with curious eyes.

The middle-aged woman looked very gentle and virtuous, and she was very surprised to see Mei Niang's appearance, and after looking Mei Niang up and down, the woman asked, "Are you also from outside?"

Mei Niang was thinking about how to ask so as not to be strange, but then the woman opened her mouth first, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and after a busy hand salute, she said very politely: "I am indeed not from here, I entered here by mistake, please tell me, how can I get out?"

A hint of pity flashed in the woman's eyes, but she still shook her head and said, "It's useless, our village has been here for hundreds of years, and some outsiders have come, but no one has ever been able to go out. ”

Mei Niang couldn't help but be stunned, if she could know this situation in advance, it would be difficult to solve the formation outside, and she would not rashly enter the tree hole, what is this now, do you want to be a village woman here for a lifetime?

Mei Niang's mind couldn't help but be a little confused, and it wasn't until the woman called herself a few more words that she came back to her senses.

"This little boy, my house is over there, why don't you go to my house to eat something first, and then find out about other things?" said the woman with some caution.

It seems that this woman is indeed a very kind lady, her eyes reveal sympathy and pity for Mei Niang, Mei Niang can't think of any other way for the time being, so she can only nod, she still chats with this woman again, and knows more about the situation here before making plans.

The woman lived in the first house Mei Niang saw, the door was not locked, and she could enter by pushing the door open. After telling Mei Niang that she would cook first, and telling the children not to disturb Mei Niang, she let Mei Niang go into the house to rest by herself, and then went to the small kitchen in the courtyard.

Mei Niang saw that the child was still looking at her with curiosity, so she squatted down and touched his head, and asked with a smile, "What's your name?"

"My name is Xiwa", the child is less than three years old, and the milky answer at this time is very cute.

"Then do you have any other brothers and sisters?" Mei Niang was fine anyway, so she teased the child to talk.

"I don't have any other brothers and sisters, and I also have a dad who talks about things at Grandpa Mu's house. Xiwa replied with big eyes and very serious.

"Who is Grandpa Mu, is it Xiwa's grandfather?" Mei Niang asked again.

"Grandpa Mu is not Xiwa's grandfather, he is everyone's grandfather, and Daddy also calls him Grandpa Mu. Xiwa didn't say it very clearly, Mei Niang didn't understand it, so she pointed to the poultry in the yard and the vegetables in the field to see if he knew it.

After playing with Xiwa for a while, the woman hurriedly walked over, wiping her hands with her apron as she walked: "Don't make trouble with your brother!" The woman first reprimanded Xiwa, and then said to Mei Niang with a smile: "What is the name of this little boy? ”

Mei Niang hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Xiwa is very cute, he didn't trouble me." Sister Lan, my name is Li Haoyu, you can call me Xiao Yu. ”

Sister Lan smiled and said, "Then Xiao Yu, let's eat first, it's just a little simpler, don't dislike it!"

Mei Niang was curious: "Don't you have to wait for the eldest brother to be with you?"

Sister Lan shook her head, and while taking Mei Niang into the house, she loaded the dishes and said, "He won't come back at noon, let's just eat first." ”

Mei Niang nodded, sat down and picked up the chopsticks, to her surprise, it was Sister Lan's craftsmanship that was actually quite good, she hadn't eaten a serious meal for a while after leaving Qindong Town, Mei Niang actually ate a big bowl of rice inadvertently, and basically all the dishes on the table were eaten.

Putting down the chopsticks, Mei Niang looked at Sister Lan with some embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "Sister Lan's cooking is really delicious." ”

Sister Lan couldn't help but smile and squinted her eyes: "Then you can stay, I will cook for you every day." ”

At this time, Xiwa had already clapped her hands happily: "Oh, little brother stay, Xiwa has someone to play!"

Mei Niang opened her mouth, and found that she really didn't know where to go for the time being, she had to have a place to stay, and when she could leave in the end, she would leave some more good things for Sister Lan.

Through the clothes of Sister Lan and Xiwa, as well as the meals they ate at noon, Mei Niang could feel that although Sister Lan's family was not very rich, they were not very poor, at least they didn't need to worry about food and clothing, and they were indeed much better than most farmers in the Shenou Continent.

Seeing Mei Niang nodding, Sister Lan couldn't help but smile and squint, she was very happy when she saw this fair-skinned little boy, her own Xiwa is indeed very lonely, she and her husband are always busy, this little boy stays, Xiwa should be very happy!

Mei Niang stood up embarrassedly and wanted to help Sister Lan clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but was quickly stopped by Sister Lan, and she was still chattering: "These jobs are all done by women, you are a male baby, how can you do this?"

Mei Niang had no choice but to sit down again, thought about it and asked, "What is this village called? You said that someone from outside has come in before, is that person still there?"

Sister Lan replied while cleaning up: "Our name is Muling Village, the last time someone came from outside, it was nearly ten years, and he was also a very spiritual young man, if you want to talk to him, I will take you over after cleaning up." ”

Mei Niang did have something to ask that person, so she thanked her.

Out of the yard, Xiwa prefers Mei Niang to hold her, it seems that she really likes him. Mei Niang thought for a while, and then asked softly, "Has Xiwa learned to read?"

Sister Lan shook her head: "There is only one gentleman in our village, and he can't be busy, so he only accepts babies over the age of six." ”

Mei Niang can really understand, after all, children under the age of six will cry easily, and if there is only one gentleman, it is indeed too busy.

"Then I'll teach him to read, otherwise I'll be embarrassed to eat and live in Sister Lan's house for nothing. Mei Niang said with a smile.

Sister Lan was obviously very happy, and hurriedly responded, and scratched Xiwa's nose by the way and said: "It seems that Xiwa will have a career in the future! Study hard, and you can also be a gentleman in the future!"

It seems that the people in this village also have a lot of respect for people who are literate and literate, and from the feeling, at least Mei Niang thinks that Sister Lan doesn't know how to practice.

Walking at Sister Lan's speed, the village seems a little bigger. After walking for nearly half an hour, when she reached the back of the village, Sister Lan pointed to a house and said, "That's the Feng Gongzi's home I said, he should have arrived home at this time." ”

Mei Niang knew that the person's surname was Feng, and nodded, but listened to Sister Lan continue: "This Feng Gongzi will cure diseases, usually he will go to collect medicine in the morning, and he will come back before and after lunch, and the people in our village will come to him to see if they are uncomfortable." ”

At this time, she had already walked to the door of Feng Gongzi's house, Sister Lan knocked on the door, and after waiting for a while, Mei Niang saw a man who looked to be in his thirties walking out of the house.

The moment she saw Feng Gongzi, Mei Niang couldn't help but shrink her eyes, this is a cultivator who has at least Yuanying cultivation, but thinking of the place where she came, Mei Niang felt that it was understandable, if it wasn't for the experience, who would have strayed into such a place?

At this time, Feng Gongzi also saw Mei Niang, although he couldn't feel Mei Niang's cultivation, but he obviously also felt that Mei Niang was a cultivator, plus he was a raw face, Feng Gongzi's face flashed a trace of excitement very obviously, and then covered it up.

Sister Lan introduced: "This Li Gongzi is also from outside, he may want to know something with Feng Gongzi, I have to go back to make dinner, so I won't bother you." ”

After that, Sister Lan asked Mei Niang again: "When you finish talking, you should be able to find a home, right?"

Mei Niang smiled and nodded, and Sister Lan pulled the somewhat reluctant Xiwa to turn around and go home. At her speed, she would indeed have to prepare dinner when she got home.

"Come in and talk?" Feng Gongzi asked, but he didn't look at Mei Niang, but directly opened the door and walked in.

Mei Niang followed into the house, and felt a very strong smell of Chinese medicine coming to her nose, and all over the eyes, the house was full of medicinal herbs, although there were many varieties, but they were placed very neatly, obviously the finished products that had been dried.

"You also strayed in after entering the Naye Jungle?" That Feng Gongzi was silent for a moment, as if adjusting his emotions, but he still couldn't help but ask directly.

"Yes", Mei Niang nodded in reply.
