Chapter 44, Country Life
At half past five in the afternoon, Lin Luxian and the others began to feel hungry again, they did not have lunch, and they had no money to eat lunch, and the city gate was about to be closed at this time.
"What are we going to do?" to stay in the city, or... Sleeping outside the city?" Lin Luxian asked the rest of the partners
"We don't have any money, don't we sleep on the road when we stay in the city?" Lan Bingyun said
"It seems that we can only return to Uncle Cai's house first. "Confused
At seven o'clock in the evening, Lin Luxian and the others returned to Haizhu Village. Seeing Lin Luxian and the others, Aunt Cai hurriedly said, "Yo! You guys are back! You must not have eaten, I'll help you cook." And Uncle Cai had already tidied up his son's two rooms, and was waiting for Lin Luxian and the others to come back.
After eating, Lin Luxian and the others discussed, anyway, now that they don't have any news of Yun Tianhyun and Lan Hai, it is better to stay in this Haizhu Village first, and then slowly inquire about Yun Tianhyun's whereabouts in the future. If they can't find any clues about Yun Tianhyun, and they can't go back to modern times, then they will simply settle down in this beautiful village, and they will be quiet and happy anyway.
Early the next morning, Lin Luxian and the others began to divide labor. Because there were suddenly six more people in Uncle Cai's house, they wanted to reclaim two more vegetable plots outside the yard, and Lin Luxian followed Aunt Cai to hoe the land outside the yard. Dianpu followed Uncle Cai to split bamboo outside the village, preparing to make a bamboo bed, and then transported it to Dongyun City to sell. Xiao Ze went to fish in the river at the entrance of the village with a net on his shoulder. Lan Bingyun watered and fertilized the vegetable field, Zhu Xinyan cleaned up, and Ao Yi was responsible for washing clothes and vegetables. And the weapons of several of them were stored in the cellar of Uncle Cai's house.
At noon, Lin Luxian, Lan Bingyun, and Aunt Cai all finished their work in the field and returned home. Aunt Cai was going to cook in the kitchen, Zhu Xinyan and Ao Yi hurriedly followed her into the kitchen to learn to cook, and she started to cook, and in the future, Aunt Cai would cook herself. Not long after, Dian Pu and Uncle Cai came back with a cart loaded with twenty or thirty freshly cut bamboos. Not long after, Xiao also returned, carrying three small fish on a skewer in his hand.
After a lively lunch and an hour's rest, everyone began to move the bamboo off the cart. Then, under the guidance of Uncle Cai, everyone took tools to chop and chop these bamboos, saw them, cut them, and finally the experienced Uncle Cai slowly made two bamboo beds with bamboo buckets and bamboo strips. Subsequently, everyone moved the two bamboo beds on the board cart and prepared to push them to be sold outside the south gate of Dongyun City.
Lin Luxian and the six of them pushed the cart and went out of the village with Uncle Cai to Dongyun City, leaving Aunt Cai at home to prepare dinner for them. Everyone breathed in the fresh air, walked on the path full of wildflowers on both sides, and listened to the birds and insects along the way, everyone's mood became relaxed and happy, and everyone talked and laughed along the way, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
In the evening, the gate of Dongyun City was closed, Lin Luxian and their bamboo beds were also sold, and there were not many greens left. Several of them pushed the cart with satisfaction, and happily followed Uncle Cai back to Haizhu Village. After earning some money today, Uncle Cai bought a string of sugar gourds for each of them.
In this way, Lin Luxian and the six of them began to slowly integrate into the life of Haizhu Village, during this time, they got up every morning and divided their labor, sometimes they went to the river to fish together, sometimes they followed Uncle Cai to the mountains to pick herbs, and sometimes they followed Uncle Cai and his wife to Dongyun City to purchase daily necessities. In order to hide his identity as an underworld, Xiao can only eat and sleep with his other companions, although he does not need to do these things.
In modern times, in a cave in the uninhabited area of He Erjin, the dark sky is sitting in the cave, as if waiting for someone. To his left, a tall humanoid monster stood. The monster was at least ten meters tall, with gray skin and large corpse spots all over its body. The monster's face was shriveled, its two eye sockets were hollow, there were no eyeballs inside, and it had a pair of curved horns on its head. This monster had appeared in the Desolate Rift Valley, the day the Secret Chaos killed Xuan Xuanhua.
Not long after, a short, red-faced man in a black robe walked into the cave, he came to the dark sky, looked at the monster on the left side of the dark sky, and looked surprised. But then he immediately knelt down on his knees, clasped his hands into fists, and said to the secret foolishness, "It's really an honor for a villain to see you Lord Demon King again! Seeing you sitting in front of me unscathed and full of energy, it is really a blessing for a villain, a blessing for the demon clan in the world!
Secretly Chaotian said to the Blood Enma in front of him, "Hmph, I haven't seen you for hundreds of years, I can't imagine that you are still so good at sycophants." Tell me, how many people are still in your demon army?"
The Blood Enma looked at the monster on the left side of the Dark Chaos Heaven, and said hesitantly, "This... This... ”
"It's okay, this giant corpse is working for me now. You can answer my question boldly, there is no one else in this cave but the three of us. Darkly said calmly
The Blood Enma exclaimed, "Ah! Lord Demon is really wise and powerful! This giant sealed corpse has been controlled, which means that the bone prison fortress that the Hades are complaining about has been broken by my Demon Clan? Lord Demon King is really extremely admired by the villain! Oh, by the way, to get down to business, there are not many demon soldiers under my command, only a few thousand people left. This is still under the siege of the coalition forces of various races, nine deaths and one life!Since you slashed Yun Tianxun, the Protoss has surrounded and suppressed my demon clan in all corners of the Liaozhou Continent... But today, Lord Demon King, you are back, and I believe that under your leadership, the time for our demon clan to make a comeback is not far away!
Secretly Chaotian shook his head, "Heh, Protoss, I received news that Protoss had left the Protoss a few years ago and was missing. Nowadays, the Terrans occupy most of the land of the Liaozhou Continent, and their weapons are very powerful, and their strength is even close to that of the Protoss! And the Terrans are also the most populous race and the most advanced weapons on the Liaozhou Heavenly Continent. I think the Protoss themselves know that they no longer have the meaning of existence, so they will leave the God Realm. This time, I'm going to start with the weakest small cities of the Terrans, and even if I can't capture these cities, I'll take all the Terrans in these small cities away, after all, these Terrans are our rations, right?"
"Oh, then the Demon King, you must have already taken action, right?" the Blood Enma asked
Secretly nodded and said, "Well, it won't be someone who has followed me for more than a thousand years, you know my mind best." You have been hiding in Tibet with your men all these years, and you don't know a lot about the Liaozhou Continent, right? I have already approached the Ancient Hades King and reached an agreement with him, as long as I take the Liaozhou Continent, I will give him two-thirds of the territory, and he will also secretly help me. He sent the giant sealed corpse guarding the Bone Fortress to assist me. Also, I've found the Troll, and his soldiers have infiltrated some of the smaller human cities. I believe that in the near future, these cities infiltrated by our demons will fall one after another, and the human races in these cities will be captured by us. Besides, there are also the Blue Shura Clan, who are good at controlling space, and they can transfer all these captured Terrans to this desolate no-man's land!"
"The Demon King is the Demon King, he is really far-sighted, strategizing, and making decisions for thousands of miles! The villain is convinced! However, the Ancient Hades have been hiding underground before, unwilling to participate in the wars of the world, why did they think of assisting you, Lord Demon of the Demon King?" the Blood Enma then asked
"The Hades have always been a very ambitious race, they have been forbearant before, collecting all kinds of information on the Liaozhou Continent, but they do not participate in the war on the Liaozhou Continent, do you know why? It is because they are afraid of the Heavenly Protoss! And now the Terrans on the ground are gradually growing, and the Protoss have left to no longer interfere in the affairs of the ground, so the ambitions of the Hades have also been exposed! The information they have collected over the years may be to be able to successfully take down the Terrans in the future. "Back in the dark
Back to the ancient Haizhu Village, time flies, in a blink of an eye, Lin Luxian and the six have lived in Haizhu Village for more than a month, they have become accustomed to the life of Haizhu Village, and they get along with the villagers very happily. And the search for Yun Tianhyun was gradually forgotten by them, because they couldn't find any clues about Yun Tianhyun.
At noon today, everyone gathered around the round table and waited for dinner, but Xiao was not seen.
"Which of you is going to find Xiao? He went out fishing in the morning, it's noon, and he hasn't come back, even if he doesn't catch a fish, he should come back for lunch, hey, this kid!" Uncle Cai said worriedly
"I know where he is! These days, he has learned badly from Liu Erdonkey in the village, and he always goes to his house to lose money! The last time I passed by Liu Erdonkey's house, I saw him inside, or did I pull him out!" Ao Yi said indignantly
Zhu Xinyan said to Ao Yi, "Oh? Then I'll trouble you this time, my good sister." ”
When Ao Yi came to the door of Liu Erdonkey's house, he found that there was a noisy crowd inside, and there were seven or eight men shouting and sitting inside to throw dice, and Xiao was really among them!
Ao Yi stood at the door of Liu Erdonkey's house, and when she saw Xiao Zheng playing, she didn't find her, so she was angry. Ao Yi angrily walked behind Xiao and slapped him the back of the head! When Xiao turned his head, he saw Ao Yi standing behind him staring at him with eyes that could kill people! He was so frightened that he almost urinated! He quickly stood up and said to the other men, "You guys will keep an account for me first! I will give it next time, I will go back first!" Then he picked up the fishing net next to him and ran out of Liu Erdonkey's house in a puff of smoke!
Ao Yi chased after Xiao, "Xiao, stop me! What about the fish you caught! You won't not go to the river at all!"
When he ran back to Uncle Cai's house, he hurriedly hid behind Uncle Cai, and Ao Yi also chased in breathlessly.
"He, he didn't go fishing at all, all morning, he was at Liu Erdonkey's house!" Ao Yi pointed to Xiao and said
"Blind, nonsense, I haven't caught a fish for half a day, so I played at Liu Erdonkey's house for a while... Xiao explained weakly
"Grandpa! You shouldn't have given him pocket money, he lost all his money! I also owe Liu Erdonkey and them dozens of copper coins! I just saw it in Liu Erdonkey's account book!" Ao Yi said unrelentingly
"This tigress has a pretty wide tube, a small chest, and a big temper... Xiao muttered quietly, but was still heard by Ao Yi
"Who do you say is a tigress! Who is small-breasted!" Ao Yi began to chase Xiao in the yard again
Lin Luxian sat at the table and watched the play, and said, "Okay, Xiao you run faster, don't let her catch it!"
Lan Bingyun persuaded Ao Yi on the side, "Sister Ao Yi, don't chase after you, pay attention to your ladylike image!"
"Okay, okay, you two stop! stop making trouble, eat first!" Uncle Cai shouted to stop the two
"Wait for a few of you to finish eating, rest for a while, and then move the boxes of vegetables at the door to the cart and push them to sell outside the south gate of Winter Cloud City. I look at this day, I'm afraid it will rain at night, so no matter whether the vegetables are sold or not, you have to come back early, you know? And you, Xiao, don't have any dealings with Liu Erdonkey who doesn't learn and don't know how to do it in the future, and don't go to his house to lose money, you know?" Uncle Cai instructed
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Xiao nodded and replied
After everyone finished lunch and rested for a while, Lin Luxian and the six of them loaded a few boxes of vegetables onto the cart and then pushed them in the direction of Winter Cloud City. When they arrived outside the south gate of Dongyun City, they took down all the vegetables on the cart and shouted skillfully, "Eh, come and see, take a look! Fresh Chinese cabbage, chives, soybeans, daylily, leeks, and radishes are all freshly picked from the ground! The water is bright, and it has the fragrance of earth!"
In the evening, the vegetables were almost sold, and the city gate was about to close, and Lin Luxian and the others were ready to return.
On the way back, the sky became darker and darker, and it seemed that Uncle Cai was right, it would really rain at night! Lin Luxian and the others accelerated and pushed the cart.
Zhu Xinyan said, "I don't know what dishes Aunt Cai will prepare for us in the evening, I like to eat the bacon she makes." ”
Lan Bingyun also said, "And her fried bean sprouts and radishes are also delicious." ”
Dian Waterfall also said, "As long as it is the food made by Aunt Cai, I like to eat it! Since I arrived in Haizhu Village, I have gained a few pounds!"
As soon as the six of them were halfway there, it began to rain moderately in the sky, and when they returned to the entrance of Haizhu Village, their clothes were almost soaked.
"Hurry up and go back and change your clothes!" Dian Pu shouted happily as he pushed the cart
But tonight's Haizhu Village is exceptionally quiet! And there is a smell of blood in the air. The rain on the ground was also mixed with a reddish tinge. Lin Luxian and the others suddenly had an ominous premonition! A few of them put down the cart and hurriedly ran to Uncle Cai's house! But after running a few steps, they saw a few village names lying in a pool of blood, and these villagers were still greeting them warmly during the day, but now, they were already cold corpses!
