Chapter 438: The Village
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, it has been a month since I said goodbye to Dancheng. After leaving gently, Fang Tianyi and Red Silk also immediately set off to the Immortal Mountain Range to find the dream flower.
After a month's long journey, it is now less than 500 miles away from the "Xianzhen Gate", which has not returned for several years.
Gentleness stands in the corner of the endless mountains, very small. is about to return to this place that once changed his fate, and his gentle heart is indescribable.
As a true disciple of the "Xianzhenmen", but he has never been taught the exercises of the "Xianzhenmen", this has always been a knot in the heart of tenderness.
Why did the "Xianzhenmen" accept himself as a true disciple, but refused to teach the exercises?
The gentle heart has always been puzzled.
Just ask you, in the history of the "Xianzhenmen," which true disciple was like her? Not long after becoming a true disciple, she had never been taught the exercises, but she had unexpectedly wandered abroad for several years and never returned.
No matter what, it's time to face it, I don't know if Senior Sister Taoli has returned to Xianmen?
Wen Wen has been thinking about Senior Sister Taoli in her heart, and she has been separated for more than two years, and she doesn't know if the other party is doing well.
The mountains here are continuous, majestic or steep, the mountains are connected, and a few birds fly freely in the mountains, try their paradise here, unrestrained.
She had been walking in these mountains for several days, and although she was gentle enough to return by leap back, she chose this way of ascetic cultivation to train herself. Now it is a matter of time before the distance from the Huadan Mirror to the Heavenly and Human Mirror is broken, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and Gentle wants to use penance to exercise the new limit of his physical fitness.
The long journey is not hard for her nowadays, but she has a taste of seeking a realm in nature.
Gentleness is not the tea fairy of "Fengtian Teahouse", she was born close to nature, so she can only let herself be in this state before she can experience and understand.
"I can't imagine a place so close to the fairy gate. It's such a beautiful view!"
Gently stop the pace of moving forward, and involuntarily look at this natural, after hundreds of years of history to precipitate today's beauty and the vicissitudes of history.
At this time, two middle-aged men dressed as woodcutters, with dark skin, a twisted, slightly coarse strip of cloth tied to their foreheads, and some shabby clothes, carried a bundle of dry wood on their shoulders, and the two of them were talking and laughing and walking towards the only path in the mountains through which they passed.
"Have you heard, the youngest son of the old Li family in our town was actually selected by the immortals and wanted to be brought back to the immortal gate. This is a great joy to glorify his old Li family! Let's hurry back and look at the immortal posture of the immortals, and get some immortal energy or something. It's good that all diseases are not invasive!"
"Lao Li's family is lucky to be shit, you said that even if the youngest son of her Lao Li family is sick, he can actually be selected by the immortals!" said another woodcutter very puzzled.
"Lao Zhou, don't envy the old Li family, who made their eldest son now the aunt of the village elder's family, this is called a person who has attained the Tao and the chicken dog ascends to heaven!
"Yes, we can only blame our iron eggs for their bad lives!"
The conversation between the two of them was not loud though. But the sensitive gentleness of nature has all been submerged into the ears word for word. If a child from an ordinary family wants to be accepted as a disciple by the immortals, it is not a tragedy or anything at all, it is really a matter of having this talent.
Thundered...... Thundered......
Suddenly there were dark clouds in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, lightning and thunder were seen, and a downpour of rain was pouring down. The two woodcutters were instantly wet by the rain, and the wolves were unbearable. Even gentleness is not immune.
"Lao Zhou, let's hurry up! This rain is so fierce, don't leave. We're going to have to be trapped in the mountains!"
The dry firewood that the two had worked so hard to bring back from the mountain was soaked by the rain, but the two did not abandon it.
The woodcutter named Lao Zhou suddenly saw the gentleness who had been wet by the rain but had nowhere to hide from the rain, and immediately said to his companion who was hurrying beside him, "Old Wang. You see a girl wandering in the rain in front of you. ”
Lao Wang followed the path and looked over. "Ahh ”
Lao Wang and Lao Zhou stepped forward quickly with dry firewood and walked to the gentle one.
Because of the heavy rain, neither of them could open their eyes.
Lao Wang and Lao Zhou's every move has always been observed by Gentleness, but because of this, they thought that these two people were so kind, and when they saw that they were drenched in the rain, they actually wanted to come forward to help.
Lao Wang squinted his eyes and asked, "Girl, it's raining so hard, why don't you hurry back to avoid the rain? ”
The rain was so heavy that I couldn't open my eyes, so I could only squint, "I'm passing through here, and there's nowhere to go!"
Lao Wang and Lao Zhou looked at each other, and finally Lao Zhou said: "In this case, if you don't dislike it, girl, go back to our village with us! ”
Lao Wang and Lao Zhou are both simple ordinary people, and when they saw gentleness and difficulty, although they didn't say that they pulled out their swords to help, they still stood up to help.
Wen Rou thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Then thank you two big brothers!"
……
Lao Wang and Lao Zhou's family lives in a small village at the foot of a certain mountain in this continuous mountain.
It's amazing, when Wen Wen and Lao Wang and Lao Zhou arrived in the village, Wen Rou was surprised to find that there was not a drop of rain in the village.
These two places are not far apart, but they are two different weather, which is very amazing.
Wen Rou was surprised, "Hey! not a drop of rain has fallen here!" Wen Rou stood in the courtyard of the two families, not too big, and sighed.
Lao Wang and Lao Zhou are neighbors, that is, the homes are next to each other, and the yards are shared, so the relationship between the two families is also very good.
Lao Wang and Lao Zhou each returned to their respective homes, put down the dry firewood, and then Zhang Luo his daughter-in-law and hurriedly went out to greet gentleness.
After a while, from the inside of the room of the two families. Two ordinary, dark-skinned middle-aged women walked out of the room with smiles on their faces.
Both of them trotted to Gentle's side affectionately and hurriedly greeted them.
A middle-aged woman with two patches on her shirt hurriedly pulled her gentle arm and said enthusiastically: "Listen to what the head of my family said, you have trouble meeting a girl on the road, so I brought you back, and it is indeed a distinguished guest! ”
Another middle-aged woman with no patches on her clothes also hurriedly grabbed Gentle's arm, and the enthusiasm made Gentleness unbearable.
"I am the daughter-in-law of the old Zhou family. Look, girl, you're soaking wet, if you don't dislike it, follow me into the house to change clothes and put on them. Otherwise, you'll get sick in a while. Old Sister-in-law Zhou said with a smile.
The old sister-in-law Wang hurriedly smiled enthusiastically and echoed: "That's it! This sick person will cost a lot of silver, and ordinary people can afford it! Girl, you should hurry up, and you will go to Lao Li's house for a while to eat well, and now his youngest son was chosen by the immortals." You're blessed!"
The gentleness was a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the old sister-in-law Wang and the old sister-in-law, and these two were inevitably a little too enthusiastic.
smiled gently and embarrassedly, and was dragged back to Sister-in-law Zhou's house by Sister-in-law Wang and Sister-in-law Zhou.
After a while, Wen Rou had changed into the ordinary clothes of the old sister-in-law Zhou, and there was still a patch on each of her arms. Gentleness looked at his own body. I suddenly remembered the hard life I had with my sister before entering the Wen family, when the clothes worn by the two sisters were hundreds of times more shabby than this, but at that time, there were no good people like the Lao Zhou family and the Lao Wang family who were willing to help the two lonely little girls.
There was a sour feeling in my nose. Gentle heart, five flavors of grains.
A crystal teardrop swirled in his eyes, but he never fell.
Seeing that Wen Wen had not left the door for a long time, the old sister-in-law Zhou knocked on the door and stepped in. Seeing the crystal tears in the gentle eyes, I was a little anxious. Hurriedly stepped forward to hold the gentle shoulder, and asked with concern: "Girl, what's wrong with you? Who bullied the girl, or what's wrong?" If you don't dislike it, sue me!"
Wen Rou felt that she was a little out of shape, took a deep breath, and immediately smiled at the old sister-in-law Zhou, and said, "No need! Thank you sister-in-law Zhou! You are also called me by some girl, just call me Xiaorou!"
"Listen, Xiao Rou Xiao Rou, it's much better than the name of the lotus girl in my house. Old Sister-in-law Zhou smiled, and then said: "Ah, look at my memory, Xiaorou, let's hurry up and go to Lao Li's house, otherwise we will be late." Hehe, I'm late, but I don't have anything to eat!"
……
Walking out of Lao Zhou's house, Lao Wang's sister-in-law immediately came up with her two children. Her two children are the eldest daughter, Xiaocao, who is now eight years old, and the youngest son, Shi, who is now five and a half years old. The grass and stones are very cute, but their faces may be muddy because they are naughty.
The old sister-in-law pulled the grass and stones, and said with a smile: "Girl, you are so good-looking, more beautiful than all the girls in our village, and you look good in everything." After speaking, he immediately said to Xiaocao and Shishi, "Xiaocao and Shishi, hurry up and call sister, I was stunned." ”
Xiaocao and Shi Shi, the two siblings, immediately bowed in a proper manner, greeted them in their immature voices, and said, "Hello sister." ”
Wen Rou nodded hurriedly, supported the two sisters and brothers, and said, "It's good! The grass and stones are also good!" Wen Rou immediately looked up at the old sister-in-law Wang and said, "Sister-in-law Wang, don't be so polite, call me Xiaorou!"
"Okay, Xiaorou's name is good!"
"Then let's hurry up! The head of the house is still waiting for us at Lao Li's house. ”
"Hey, where is your iron egg?" Why is it gone?" Before leaving, the old sister-in-law suddenly replied.
"Hey, we have already gone to Lao Li's house with iron eggs, and I have always liked to follow the pear blossom butt of Lao Li's family, which makes me angry!"
"Don't say it, your iron egg is really in love with the pear blossoms of the old Li family, since childhood sweethearts, maybe they can become in-laws in the future. With the relationship between the old Li family, maybe in the future, your iron egg will be able to get a good job. The old sister-in-law Wang pulled the grass in her left hand and the stone in her right hand, and said hehe.
Because the old sister-in-law Wang and the old sister-in-law Zhou are both ordinary peasant women, they are not as good as the noble ladies of those families on weekdays, so they have dark skin, although they are not too old, they are about thirty or forty years old, but when they laugh. The folds on the face are already very deep, and even some can trap flies all the time.
"Lao Wang's family, don't talk nonsense, the pear blossom of the old Li family, my old Zhou family has never been delusional. ”
……
Lao Li's family can be said to be a big family in the village. The eldest son of the Lao Li family is the son-in-law of the village lord, so the status of the Lao Li family in the entire village is second only to the village lord's family. Today is a great joy for the old Li family to be selected by the immortals for his youngest son, and the banquet specially prepared by the old Li family specially let these people in the village drink in front of them, and it is lively.
Within this small village. To be able to have someone selected by the immortals is a very, very celebratory thing, a full long face.
The huge red fabric of the old Li family hung in front of the door. It's very eye-catching. Lao Li's house is quite large, which can be compared to the size of two Lao Wang's houses and one Lao Zhou, and the yard can be said to be twice as large. The sound of firecrackers is non-stop, lively and lively, and laughter and laughter are also coming and going.
Gentleness is still some distance away from the old Li family. But I was already able to feel the excitement and festivities in person.
"Oh, it's really lively! I'm so lucky to be able to catch up with this kind of thing!"
Smiling gently, he walked all the way with the old sister-in-law Wang and the old sister-in-law, and sighed involuntarily.
Thinking about it, it makes sense that it would be so lively. In ordinary people's homes, being able to have a son who is looked at by the immortals is a glorious thing. Even when Wen Xiao entered the "Xianzhen Gate", the entire Wen family was also lively.
……
Seating. Gently sat at the same table with the two families of Sister-in-law Wang and Sister-in-law Zhou, and felt a little relaxed in her heart.
Lao Zhou saw Wen Wen's tattered dress, and said with a smile: "The girl is still used to us here, right?"
Nodding gently, "It's very good here! Lao Zhou, don't call me a girl, just call me Xiaorou." ”
Lao Zhou and Lao Wang's family are very simple. I never asked where Gentle was and why she stayed here. It's treated so defenselessly and wholeheartedly.,Let the gentleness be very moved.。
"Okay, good, Xiaorou! Hehe, Xiaorou's name is so good!"
Gently smiled embarrassedly, in less than an hour, she had already been praised, Xiaorou's name has sounded good N times, should I be happy? or should I be happy?
Suddenly, Lao Zhou remembered, "By the way, where is our iron egg?"
Sister-in-law Zhou glanced at Lao Zhou helplessly, and said helplessly, "You don't know that son of yours, there must be a person who is going around behind the pear blossom of Lao Li's house!"
Sure enough, as soon as Lao Zhou's sister-in-law's words fell, she heard that in the courtyard of Lao Li's house, a little girl wearing a red coat and about twelve years old suddenly appeared, and her appearance attracted the attention of many people. I have to say that the little girl looks very beautiful, although it is not a sinking fish and a goose, and a shy flower in the closed moon, but there is also a taste of small jasper, but the fly in the ointment is that the skin of the little girl is slightly dark.
"Isn't that the pear blossom of the old Li family? It really looks better the longer it grows. ”
That's right, the little girl she saw in front of her was the pear blossom that bloomed in Lao Li's house in the mouth of Lao Zhou's sister-in-law, her son Tie Dan, who always liked to follow other girls.
Li Lihua was a little lively, and as soon as she appeared in the courtyard, she began to look left and right, and soon, from the other side, a little boy who was about thirteen or fourteen years old, swarthy, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, appeared behind Li Lihua.
"Pear blossom, don't you run! I promise you to take you to the mountains next time to pick delicious red fruits to eat, so don't be angry. The little boy stood beside Li Lihua and said.
When the old sister-in-law saw this scene, she immediately said to the old sister-in-law Zhou: "Sister-in-law Zhou, sister-in-law Zhou, isn't that your iron egg!"
In this way, Gentle Fang understood that the little boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes standing next to Li Lihua was the iron egg of the old sister-in-law's family. I have to say that this iron egg and Li Lihua stand together, but it is a feeling of matching. Peasant children are no longer considered children at their age, and some can get married at the age of twelve or thirteen.
According to what the old sister-in-law said, Sister-in-law Zhou cast her eyes over. Sure enough, when I saw her family's iron egg, the old sister-in-law Zhou hugged her with a hatred of iron and steel, you said that you are a good boy, you don't do any housework all day long, and you only know how to revolve around other girls all day long.
"Iron Egg! Iron Egg! Don't come here yet!"
Tie Dan was comforting his pear blossom girl, but at this time he heard his mother's shout, but he may still have some scruples about his mother in his heart. So after hesitating again and again, I had to put aside Miss Li Lihua for the time being and trotted over.
Tie Dan was quite unhappy in his heart, pouted, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Mother, what are you calling the child for?"
Old Zhou's sister-in-law was angry when she saw Tie Dan, and immediately stretched out her hand to pull Tie Dan's ear, twisted it hard, and said: "You rabbit cub, what do you say you will do?!! you only know how to revolve around the pear blossoms of Lao Li's family all day long." What else are you going to order besides this, look at your useless look!"
Gentle seeing the old sister-in-law Zhou's ears twisting the iron egg like this, she was about to persuade and persuade, who knows at this time. Li Lihua didn't know when she was already pouting angrily, ran to the front of the old sister-in-law, put her hands on her waist angrily, and said, "Tie Dan Niang, how can you bully Tie Dan like this! Why don't you like Tie Dan to play with me so much?"
Li Lihua was obviously angry and pouted. Angry.
Sister-in-law Zhou looked stupid, where did she think that this pear blossom of the old Li family would come to question herself, her mind was blank for a while, and she couldn't say why.
Lao Zhou's sister-in-law was stunned in place, but Lao Zhou's angry hand waved directly on Tiedan's buttocks, and the strength of the hand was relatively large. There was a "bang" sound.
Tie Dan was very backbone, he stood in place and didn't cry, and endured a cone pain in his buttocks.
"You can't make a baby. Hurry up and sit down, it's about to be dinner. Lao Zhou waited for a stubborn iron egg and shouted.
Tie Dantian is not afraid of the ground, but he is afraid that his father Lao Zhou will be angry, and then he will sit beside Lao Zhou unwillingly. Li Lihua has not left. At this time, he was looking at Tie Dan with an angry face, "Tie Dan, why are you afraid of your father." Let's go play, my dad is here, your dad doesn't dare to you!"
Where did Tie Dan have such bold courage, he reluctantly sat in place, shaking his head.
Li Lihua suddenly got angry and was furious, "Hmph! Zhou Tiedan, I won't play with you anymore." ”
After Li Lihua was furious, her face suddenly turned red with anger, and she ran away.
Zhou Tiedan could only silently look at Li Lihua's angry figure when she left.
After Li Lihua left, the old sister-in-law Zhou looked at her son's appearance, and could only sigh helplessly.
The gentle man sitting on the side looked at the family and was extremely helpless.
It has only been a short time, and the liveliness of the entire Lao Li family is even better. I saw a middle-aged man from inside the gate of Lao Li's house, with slightly gray hair and a slightly long beard, slightly hunched back from inside the gate with a bright smile, and stepped out with his hands in his hands.
When the middle-aged man went out, he immediately attracted the attention of all the villagers, and they all looked at each other in unison.
"My old Li family is fortunate to be appreciated by the immortals, let the pillars of my old Li family enter the fairy gate, hehe, this kind of beautiful thing should be happy with all the fellow villagers!"
This person is Lao Li in the mouths of Lao Zhou and others, and the in-laws of the village elder.
Gentle is also quite curious, what kind of talent is this pillar of the old Li family, and it will be favored by the Xianmen.
As soon as Lao Li's voice fell, a boy about fourteen years old in the main room, dressed quite brightly, with dark skin and a bright smile, stepped out. Behind him, Li Lihua also followed closely.
All the villagers are full of envy, to be able to have a son who was taken back by the immortals, but the matter of the glorious lintel, there is light on the ancestors, but it is a pity that his son does not have this ability and luck.
The pillar didn't speak, but just stood beside Lao Li with Li Lihua.
Zhuzi, the child of the stars and moons in the village, just showed his face to the beater, and did not say a word again.
……
Lao Li's family today is the most lively day ever, a little more lively than when his eldest son became the son-in-law of the village.
The villagers also began to eat and drink and laugh happily.
Gentleness didn't find anything particularly attractive about the pillar, except that it was able to cultivate, and it didn't say that it had extraordinary talent.
Suddenly, a glow swept over Lao Li's house, and immediately saw six cranes flying in the air. The villagers, who were gathering to eat, immediately stopped their movements and watched the strange scene in the sky.
"Is this an immortal?"
