At this time, Ye Xiao was carefully shuttling on the path out of the mountains and forests. In his hand he was carrying a gray-haired hare that he had brought earlier. He had to trade this rabbit for a piece of clothing so that he could go out and meet people in the open.

In the distance, the sun gradually rises, and the ordinary people scattered nearby also begin to light a fire for the most important lunch stage of the day. Some of them are really hard, and they only have one meal a day, which is not as good as the people in the city.

Ye Xiao looked at the smoke in the sky, found the target and walked forward. The closer you get to the smoke, the fewer trees become. A small courtyard came into view, and smoke rose from the side of the wooden house. In the courtyard there was a bamboo pole, on which hung several black and gray clothes. There is a chicken pot in the corner of the yard, and a few chicks are pecking.

Ye Xiao saw the courtyard and looked at it, but he was making a good argument in his heart, how to borrow clothes. At this moment, the door of the wooden house opened from the inside, and a typical peasant woman came out into the courtyard with a basin, probably in her fifties. Suddenly, she found Ye Xiao standing at the door, but she didn't scream. She walked over, looked at Ye Xiao's grass skirt dress, and asked, "Young man, do you need help? It's lunch, do you want to eat?" Ye Xiao listened to the woman's words and touched her stomach, but she was a little embarrassed.

When Ye Xiao followed the woman into the courtyard, she touched her nose and said to the woman, "It's troublesome." ”

The woman smiled and said, "No trouble, no trouble." Looking at the young man's dress, I think he was hunting, and he just came out of the mountains and forests. ”

Ye Xiao nodded and said, "That's true." "When she was out of the house, and the woman's statement was not wrong, Ye Xiao didn't explain.

Ye Xiao sat at the wooden table, watched the woman help serve the meal, and asked, "Is the eldest lady alone?"

The woman smiled and said, "No, the old man is busy in the fields, and he will bring his lunch later." Seeing Ye Xiao eating with a smile on her face, the woman was also happy.

Ye Xiao ate, raised his head and said, "Auntie, I'm coming, I'm not here to eat, I'm mainly here to change clothes and wear, and go into the lying city," handing the rabbit to the woman with one hand, "This rabbit, in exchange, do you think it?"

The woman pushed the rabbit and said, "How can you ask for a piece of clothing, it's not worth it." ”

"No, no, please take it, otherwise I won't be able to eat well, let alone change clothes. Ye Xiao stopped his chopsticks and looked at the woman's hesitant look, "Take it, you want me to go into the city to sell prey, but I can earn a lot, this rabbit is not worth much." Of course, the premise must be clothed, otherwise the city will not be able to enter. ”

The woman thought for a moment and took the rabbit, "Hey, I just saw that the rabbit is not very fat, why is it so heavy?"

Ye Xiao listened and said, "I want to come here and this rabbit eats a lot and runs a lot." ”

The woman nodded, "Probably as you said." She carefully placed the rabbit in an empty tank. Then he walked to the back room and took his clothes, and carried a pair of brand-new cloth shoes in one hand, and handed them to Ye Xiao: "Here, put them on quickly, the weather is a little cold." After a while, the old man went to the field and gave the old man some food. ”

Ye Xiao took the clothes and shoes, "Auntie, just a pair of shoes, why bother with a new pair of shoes." ”

The woman smiled and said, "Take it, try it to see if it fits, no one will wear these shoes anyway." Ye Xiao noticed that the woman's mood was a little low, "Can you tell me why?"

The woman waved her hand, "Before, the old man had a child about your age, but he went early. ”

Ye Xiao looked at the woman's somewhat moist eyes, "Then why did you go?" ”

The woman recalled: "In the past, we had a deep ditch here, and the children especially liked to run there to play, and it was not angry to say that you were so old that you came out to be the breadwinner. Saying that, he looked at Ye Xiao, "That evening, the child didn't come home on time, and my father and I didn't care, because the children in this place are quite familiar, and they haven't come home on time a few times before." But this time I really won't go home on time. ”

The woman said and covered her mouth with her hand, "In the evening, my father and I felt that something was wrong, so we went out with torches to look for the child, and we went straight to the deep ditch. ”

The woman's face was slightly frightened, "It was not the original deep ditch at all, the whole deep ditch glowed red in the dark night, and I was frightened at that time." Then the child's father was bolder, touched the probe and looked at it, and ran back and accidentally fell to the ground. ”

Suddenly, the child's father stretched out his hand to see, it was the fabric of the child's clothes, there was blood, I looked at the child's father, and I fainted directly. The next day, the child's father told me that there was no need to look for it, and I cried at that time. ”

Ye Xiao heard this, "So the child fell into a deep ditch?"

"Well, I heard the immortals who came from behind say that the deep ditch has become an abyss and is unfathomable. I was afraid that there was a big devil below, so I sealed the abyss. There may still be immortals guarding it now. ”

Ye Xiao understood that the immortals that the woman said were monks. In the eyes of ordinary people, monks are indeed immortals, with spells and the ability to fly. Of course, the monk's goal is to become an immortal and enjoy an immortal life!

Ye Xiao frowned, why had he never heard of it in the city before. The woman added, "My father and I have been asked to keep it a secret, and you have never told anyone before. Ye Xiao understood and was sealed. But it also doesn't make sense, why it hasn't been extinguished. The world of monks is cruel!

The woman wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Little brother, just let it go after eating, and the old man will go to the field first." ”

Ye Xiao hurriedly said: "Thank you! There is another question, can you tell me where the direction is?"

The woman went out, tilted her head, and pointed to a position, "Over there, don't go, you lost your life in vain, please keep it secret." ”

Ye Xiao looked at the woman's back, ate quickly, washed the dishes, changed clothes, and left the courtyard. He looked in the direction the woman was pointing, to the east, southeast of Fengming City.

Ye Xiao exhaled, this is not in a hurry in advance, go back to the city first. He touched the clothes he was wearing, and finally felt less cool.

There was still some distance from Fengming City, and Ye Xiao accelerated forward.
