Verse 527: An inescapable fate
The village chief was even more embarrassed when he knew that Mu Sheng was now an inner disciple of the Yuansheng Sect, and he didn't expect that Mu Sheng was now at such a height, but he basically had no growth, and he was still in the Yuanying Realm.
Mu Sheng persuaded: "I don't have an official position like Lord Beiguo, and I have a family to take care of, so I have no worries, so I have practiced diligently." ”
The village chief nodded and said, "I deliberately created this tree house, that is, I want to experience your artistic conception of merging with nature and forgetting things and me." Speaking of this, the village chief sighed and said, "It's a pity that it's man-made and inferior to natural after all!"
Mu Sheng didn't know what to say, so he simply changed the topic and asked: "When I lived here at that time, I had quite a good conversation with Ah Lian's family, I don't know what the situation in their family is now?"
"This ......" the village chief said with an embarrassed expression: "I can't hide it, but I don't care much about the specific affairs of the village, I really don't know what the situation of her family is now?"
Mu Sheng nodded slightly to express his understanding: "I still have something to go to Gyeonggi City, so I won't talk to you more, Ah Lian's family has some friendship with me, so I will leave after paying a visit." ”
The village chief bowed his head and said: "Even so, I can't force it, if you have time, you can come and sit at any time, and I will sweep the couch to greet you." ”
Mu Sheng thanked the village chief and walked to Ah Lian's house, after so many years, I don't know if Ah Lian's life is good, whether she has learned a craft, has she changed her fate?
Mu Sheng walked on the village road of Beiguo Village, everything here has not changed much, the Beiguo family's own room has expanded a lot, but the mortal villages living here have basically not changed.
When Mu Sheng left Luoji Mountain, it was already late autumn, and at this time, snow suddenly fell in the sky, and the snowflakes were not flying loudly, blurring the eyes of pedestrians. Mu Sheng looked at the falling snowflakes, and thought of Ah Lian for no reason, and she also met her when it was snowing.
Mu Sheng walked here completely like a mortal, without exerting his divine sense to check, and experienced the feeling of being a mortal here.
As soon as the road turned, Mu Sheng saw a ruined wall, Mu Sheng was stunned, isn't this house the residence of the crazy mother-in-law Huang Grandma back then? I am afraid that she has already passed away after more than a hundred years, otherwise how could the house be dilapidated like this? Mu Sheng couldn't help but sweep it away with his divine sense, and there was indeed no living person under the ruins, only some mice and other small animals.
Seeing such a depraved scene, Mu Sheng suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, Ah Lian is just a mortal without cultivation, I'm afraid he will be gone a long time ago, right?
At that time, Ah Lian was unhappy, and almost found a short meeting, Mu Sheng agreed to help, but later because he also had no fixed residence, he did not take Ah Lian with him, and only introduced a place to learn embroidery, and then I didn't know what happened to Ah Lian.
While walking, I saw Ah Lian's house, this house is different from when Mu Sheng saw Ah Lian, the expansion has increased, it should have been made later when Ah Lian's brother Ah Hu got married, and the bricks and tiles have been a little dilapidated in the past hundred years, after all, Mu Sheng has been away for too long.
Mu Sheng walked to the door and thought about it, but still called Ah Hu's name, after all, it is not good to call a woman's name directly, and the two have not yet become familiar to this point. After shouting for a while, I saw someone open the door, but it was a little girl, also thirteen or fourteen years old, looking at herself with a slight frown, and in a trance she looked the same as Ah Lian.
"Why did this brother call my grandfather's name? He's been gone for years. ”
Mu Sheng was stunned when he heard it, and thought about it, how could Ah Hu still be alive in the world after more than a hundred years. "So who is the male master of the family now? Keken came out and saw that I was a friend of your grandfather and a cultivator. Mu Sheng said this to the little girl, but he secretly used the sound transmission technique, and the people in the whole house should be able to hear it.
The little girl showed hesitation on her face when she heard this, and she didn't know how to answer, when she saw someone in the house answering: "I don't know if the fairy chief has arrived, and I have missed the distance." ”
The little girl looked back and saw her grandfather and father coming out of the room in a panic. "The immortal chief doesn't like the humble house, and he also invites one in the house. The old man hurriedly invited Mu Sheng in.
Mu Sheng smiled and did not postpone, and entered the room with the two male masters of the family. The fire pond is still the same fire pond, but the furniture at home has changed a lot, Mu Sheng sat down next to the fire pit, the old woman boiled water and poured tea for Mu Sheng, Mu Sheng then said: "I have been in our mortal village before, and I have some friendship with your ancestors. As he spoke, he brought the names of Ah Hu Ah Lian and his parents one by one, and told the scene of the day.
The old man nodded again and again after hearing this: "The immortal chief is a master of the Tao, unlike ordinary people like me, who will turn into dust after a hundred years. The immortal chief said that Ah Hu is the contemptible father, and Ah Lian is my aunt, and she has been doing it for a long time. "It's embarrassing to say.
Mu Sheng had already thought of such a result, but he didn't think anything of it, and said lightly: "After I left our Beiguo Village, I don't know what happened to your father and your aunt later, I don't know how they are doing? ”
"When the immortal chief asked, he dared not tell the truth. The old man replied solemnly.
Mu Sheng was very helpless, and said a few times to the descendants of the Ah Hu family, everyone intersected equally, and there was no need to be so polite, but it seemed that the respect of mortals for cultivators had penetrated deep into the bone marrow and could not be changed, so Mu Sheng had no choice but to stop.
It turned out that after this Mu Sheng and they left, Ah Lian also went to the golden needle embroidery workshop through the recommendation of Nangong Yuhuan, intending to learn embroidery there in order to change his fate, who knew that after less than two years, Eminem became ill and spent all his family savings.
The first three years of the Golden Needle Embroidery Workshop were apprenticeships, and they couldn't make any money at all, but they had to pay for teaching in the first year, if it weren't for Mu Sheng giving some silver taels, Ah Lian wouldn't even have the opportunity to learn.
And Ah Lian has only been studying art for less than two years, and she has not learned any special embroidery, so she can't earn the cost of treatment, so she has to return to the village to serve Eminem, who is seriously ill and bedridden. But there were unforeseen circumstances, and Eminem died half a year later, because of the purchase of medicine to cure the disease, so the family owed a lot of debt.
Ah Hu is getting older and older, and he is not yet married, and his father sees it in his eyes, so he has to force Ah Lian to marry the Wen family for a change of marriage. Ah Lian had no choice but to marry the Wen family Lang she didn't love, and died of depression within a few years after marrying, leaving no heirs.
