Chapter 119: A Quiet Village
The next day, Pei Zonghao and Mu Xueye set off for Beijing. Along the way, the two chatted and told each other about their experiences in the past few years. Presumably, Mu Xueye's ordinary experience over the years, Pei Zonghao's experience is naturally much more colorful.
Along the way, Pei Zonghao told Mu Xue Ye everything about his experience.
From the beginning of the chaos in Longquan City that year, Hongchen rescued himself from the hands of the Purple Gold Shaking Heavenly King, and later hid behind Great Qin with a snake and assassinated the senior generals of the Qin army.
During the whole process, the plot can be described as ups and downs, and Mu Xueye's little hands clenched from time to time, and she was very nervous.
In the middle, when the two of them move smoothly, they can succeed with one move. When things didn't go well, both of them almost lost their lives, and their lives hung by a thread.
In the middle, Pei Zonghao also told the duel between himself and Zhao Chi in a real way, including the two ulterior secrets of the reincarnation talisman and the reincarnation phantom pupil, Pei Zonghao said that Yu Muxue listened to it at night, without the slightest hiding.
Pei Zonghao said, Mu Xue Ye listened, until Pei Zonghao talked about the disappearance of Hongchen, Mu Xue Ye couldn't help but speak, "Then according to your analysis, Hongchen was taken away by the Soul Burial Water?"
"I'm ninety percent sure that Hongchen must have been taken away by the Soul Burial Water. Because except for his father and mother, no one else in this world can have such strength and can quietly take away Hongchen in Yujing City. ”
After listening to Pei Zonghao's stories over the years, Mu Xueye did not have a sense of rejection of Hongchen in her heart, but also gave birth to a trace of gratitude. She wanted to thank Hongchen and thank her for her meticulous care and companionship of Pei Zonghao over the years.
Mu Xueye learned from Pei Zonghao's mouth that over the years, in the day and night between Hongchen and Pei Zonghao, the tolerant and humble side was always Hongchen.
Therefore, Mu Xueye, who is emotionally simple, was indeed moved by Hongchen, the "snake spirit".
Maybe this is love, I can't be with my beloved, I can't give him warm care, and I can't give him the company when he is lost and depressed, so I can only pray in my heart, praying that the one who lives in my heart can be happy.
"He" is happy, and everything in the world is naturally beautiful.
"Without me, fortunately there is still red dust. ”
This is Mu Xueye's thoughts at this moment.
"Husband, what do you think we should do in the future?
When Pei Zonghao said all the speculations in his heart, Mu Xueye frowned and asked Pei Zonghao warmly.
"Well, let's talk about it later. ”
Pei Zonghao's answer at this time was very gloomy, and from his tone, Mu Xueye could hear that this sentence contained a lot of helplessness and bitterness.
Although Mu Xueye knew that Pei Zonghao was helpless at this time, she didn't speak again. Because she also knew that the man in front of her, on his body, was still carrying too many things.
In the sky, the two of them flew with Edgeworth, and before they knew it, they had already rushed for a day's journey.
At this time, the two of them were still a morning's walk away from Yujing Dragon City, but the sky was gradually getting dark. After a long flight of Edgeworth, Pei Zonghao thought that it was time to stop and rest.
"On a snowy night, let's go to the village ahead to find a place to rest for the night, and then continue on our way tomorrow morning. Pei Zonghao pointed to a few sporadic fires in the distance and said to Mu Xueye.
Mu Xueye looked up in the direction Pei Zonghao was pointing, saw the lights, nodded lightly and replied, "Okay." ”
Where there are lights, there must be villages, and where there are villages, there are naturally places for food and accommodation.
Since Hongchen left, Pei Zonghao is no longer willing to camp in the wilderness, because camping in the wilderness will evoke too many memories.
Before the two of them came to this small village, the two did not choose to appear directly in front of the villagers as immortals descending from the sky, because doing so would cause a lot of commotion.
There is no way, the charm of cultivating immortals is too powerful, and everything in the mortal world seems so boring compared to it.
Cultivating immortals exists in legends, and in the eyes of ordinary mortals, those immortals who can step on flying swords should be immortals that everyone worships.
The two walked into the village and found that although the village of rubble in front of them seemed so poor, everything seemed so peaceful.
"Uncle, is there an inn in your village?"
As soon as they walked into the village, Pei Zonghao and Mu Xueye met an old man who was carrying dry firewood and holding a firewood knife.
The old man was sweating profusely at this time, probably because the firewood on his back was too heavy, and the old man's waist was almost straight.
The old man raised his head with difficulty and glanced at Pei Zonghao and Mu Xueye, "We don't have an inn here, our Fengyu Village, the geographical location is remote, and few people come." ”
"If you don't dislike it, let's go to Xiao Lao'er's house first, and when you get to Xiao Lao'er's house, if you two think it's clean and can deign to live in Xiao Lao'er's house for a night, it will be even better, Xiao Rong'er will definitely be very happy." ”
At the mention of Xiao Rong'er, the old man's wrinkled face showed a happy smile.
"Alright then, then disturb the old man. ”
"But don't worry, old man, we won't live in vain, and we will pay for your accommodation. "77 e-books
When the old man heard Pei Zonghao say this, he hurriedly replied with a straight face: "Eh, no, no, no, we are in this poor and remote country, and it is a great joy to welcome two distinguished guests to settle down at home, and there is nothing to talk about." ”
"Let's go, let's go quickly, after a while, it will be a little darker, and you won't be able to see the road under your feet." ”
After the old man finished speaking, he lifted the firewood on his back vigorously upward, and walked forward with difficult steps.
"Old man, I'll help you carry firewood. ”
After Pei Zonghao finished speaking, he sped up two steps, caught up with the old man, and took the bundle of firewood on the old man's back and put it on his shoulder.
The old man suddenly felt that the weight on his body had disappeared, and turned his head to look at Pei Zonghao with firewood on his shoulders at this time, and his cloudy eyes seemed to recall something, "The young man's physical fitness is really good, back then, my family style could carry such a big bundle of firewood so easily." ”
Saying this, the old man's cloudy eyes were filled with tears. As soon as the old man stretched out his hand, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the sleeves of his coat, which were almost worn out, he stopped talking, turned and walked forward.
Looking at the old man's bleak back at this time, Pei Zonghao couldn't help but ask, "Old man, is there anyone else in your family?"
"It's just the little old man, me and my little granddaughter. ”
"Oh, what about your son and daughter-in-law?"
Hearing Pei Zonghao's question, the old man did not answer directly, and was silent for a long time before the old man said with a little choked up: "Little Lao'er's daughter-in-law left me ten years ago. My son joined the army three years ago and has not been heard from until a year ago, when news came from the army that he had died in the great battle of the young man. ”
Hearing the old man's answer, Pei Zonghao and Mu Xueye were silent after looking at each other.
However, after the old man finished talking about his son, he continued to speak, "When I heard the news of my son's death, my daughter-in-law remarried, and now only Xiao Lao'er and Xiao Rong'er are left in the family. ”
A group of three people, while walking, said, and soon came to the door of the old man's small courtyard.
The walls of the courtyard were in tatters, but there was a wooden fence in the dilapidated foundation, which was probably inserted by the old man with chopped firewood branches, because there were still a few chickens in the yard.
"Squeak!" The old man stretched out his hand and pushed open the small courtyard door, and after the old man opened the courtyard door made of a few broken branches, he took the first step in, threw the firewood knife in his hand, and then pointed to the courtyard gate and said to Pei Zonghao: "Young man, the firewood is placed here, let's go first to drink a bowl of hot water to warm up." ”
"Grandpa, Grandpa, you're back!"
At this time, a little girl ran out of the house, and the little girl looked sweet, purely the kind of cute little Lori that people could like at a glance.
"Grandpa, are you hungry? The rice porridge is cold, I'll go and warm it up for you." ”
When the little girl ran to the old man and took the old man's hand, she found Pei Zonghao and Mu Xueye standing next to the old man.
"Grandpa, who are they?"
The little girl fluttered with a pair of big eyes at this time, looked at Pei Zonghao and Mu Xueye, and asked the old man.
"Xiao Rong'er, come on, don't heat the rice porridge, go kill an old hen and stew it, and let the guests drink two bowls of fragrant chicken soup. ”
Hearing the old man's words, Xiao Rong'er didn't say any more, helped the old man up, walked towards the house, and turned to Pei Zonghao and Mu Xueye by the way and said, "Brother and sister, you go into the house and sit down for a while, and I will stew chicken soup for you immediately." ”
Walking into the dilapidated stone house, Pei Zonghao glanced at the furnishings in the stone house and found that everything was cleaned up and neat.
There was little furniture in the stone house, except for a square wooden table made of wood and four benches in the living room.
After Xiao Rong'er helped the old man to sit down, she said to Pei Zonghao and Mu Xueye: "Brother and sister, you can sit down for a while, just for a while." ”
"Okay. Pei Zonghao nodded lightly and replied to Xiao Rong'er with a smile on his face.
After Xiao Rong'er finished speaking, she ran out of the stone house, and after a while, she heard the old hen's cry in the small courtyard "cluck!", it seemed that Xiao Rong'er had already succeeded.
"Old man, how old is Xiao Rong'er this year?"
Pei Zonghao can judge from the rhythmic voices coming from the courtyard that most of this family seems to be run by Xiao Rong'er.
"I'm going to be six years old soon. ”
Hearing the old man's answer, Pei Zonghao couldn't help but think of his childhood, when he was six years old, he was noisy not to study, and was beaten by Pei Chengfang for this.
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but bring up a lot of memories. Back then, Pei Zonghao didn't practice hard, and his whole body turned purple with the ring ruler given by his father by the second sister, and he ran to his mother's arms to complain......
Thinking about it, Pei Zonghao began to enter a depressed state again.
Seeing Pei Zonghao's state at this time, Mu Xueye gently took Pei Zonghao's hand, "Husband, what's wrong with you?"
Woken up by Mu Xueye's voice, Pei Zonghao forced a smile on his face, "It's nothing, I just remembered a lot of things when I was a child." ”
