_Chapter 140: Niujia Village
Outside the Wild Goose Pass, back to the wind and snow dance, a plain white. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe time has just come to October, and the land has been plagued by wind, snow and frost.
Niujia Village, located at the foot of the Piaoling Mountains, belongs to the ancient wind city of Songgu Kingdom. There are more than a dozen families in the whole village, all of whom have lived here for generations. The villagers make a living by collecting medicine and hunting, and although their lives are hard, they are still passable.
The village is backed by a verdant coniferous forest, and beyond that, there are endless mountains that stretch endlessly.
The mountains are made up of snow-capped peaks, and it is only during the hottest two or three months of the year that the peaks take on the blue-black color of the rocks.
A little more than a month ago, a new family came to the village.
According to everyone's guess, it should be a couple. The only thing that is not beautiful is that the woman is blind and can't see anything. And she rarely comes out, as if she can't stand the cold climate.
But the young man was easy to get along with, and within two days everyone got acquainted. What's more, this man is very skilled, and every time he goes out, he will definitely get a lot of money, and he usually gives away the extra prey to the villagers for free, especially those who are widowed and young who have no ability to survive.
In addition, the villagers strangely found that this man seemed to be able to dispense medicine, and every time he went to his yard, he could see the concocted and dried medicinal herbs, and he could also smell the strong smell of medicine.
It's a good day, and the snow is falling but it's much lighter than usual. The villagers woke up early, and soon green smoke rose from the quiet village.
In an independent courtyard at the east end of the village, Chu Chen got up early, cooked meals, boiled soups, and then walked to Junling's house.
"Junling, are you awake? It's time to take your medicine. Chu Chen knocked on the door.
There was no sound inside, as if the person who had a good dream had not woken up yet.
Chu Chen smiled and continued to knock twice, although the days of getting along were not long, he knew very well that the woman inside definitely did not have the habit of sleeping lazy. Even though she is not as weak as a strong village woman, she still maintains the habit of getting up early.
Finally, in Chu Chen's persistent knocking sound, an irritable voice came from inside, "If you want to enter, fast forward, it's annoying to die." ”
Chu Chen smiled, feeling a sense of accomplishment.
Pushing the door in, the room was simple, but it was filled with a smell of medicine. And the early riser was already standing at the window, wearing a snow-colored fox fur draped over his body, looking at the snowflakes floating outside the window, he was very fascinated, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Come here, it's time to take your medicine!" Chu Chen put down the tray and brought out a bowl of steaming soup. That black appearance must not taste good.
Junling didn't move, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Chu Chen smiled dumbly, stood up and came to the window, and directly pulled up the slightly cool little hand, "Be obedient, take more medicine, and your body will get better quickly." ”
Junling still didn't speak, her little nose was wrinkled, and she hated taking medicine at first glance. It's just that how can she screw Chu Chen now?
No, Chu Chen directly stretched out his hand to wrap around her waist, and smiled as he walked: "Be careful, don't fall." ”
Junling snorted angrily, "Just bully me at this time, do you dare to release it?" ”
Chu Chen smiled and didn't answer at all. Sitting at the table, he cut off the medicine, carefully blew it with a spoon, and finally pursed his lips and tried it, feeling that the temperature was just right, so he sent it to Junling's mouth and said, "Come on, ah......"
Asked about the pungent smell of medicine, Junling's brows wrinkled into the word "Sichuan", he refused to open his mouth, shook his head and said, "Can you not drink it, okay...... It's bitter. ”
"How can you cure a disease without suffering? Come on, drink it obediently, and there will be it outside after drinking. Chu Chen smiled, coaxing a child.
"And ......" Junling was speechless, she also knew that she couldn't screw Chu Chen, so she had to open her mouth sullenly, and as soon as the medicine was in her mouth, the bitterness in her mouth made her brows wrinkle even deeper.
Spoonful after spoonful, the medicine was quickly fed. The two of them had eaten, but Chu Chen never left, sitting there watching Junling in a daze.
"Why don't you leave, why are you staying here?" didn't hear the sound of Chu Chen leaving, Junling was very annoyed. This guy is like kraft candy, not to mention sticky, and many times she wonders if it would be a mistake to rush to save him that time.
"It's okay today, take a look at you." Chu Chen blinked, his face full of pride. The woman in front of her is so good, not only was she born beautiful, but even her temperament gradually eased down after that day, becoming more and more like an ordinary girl next door.
Many times he also thinks that if he doesn't need to look for his sister and parents, it will be a very happy thing to stay quietly in this corner of the world for the rest of his life.
It's just a pity that there is never an if in this world. Moreover, he also knows that in order to truly gain a foothold in this world and protect the people around him, strong strength is indispensable.
Although he didn't have the memory of the demon in his mind, nor the memory of the return of the scarlet moon, his powerlessness when Junling and Zhao Hao were killed that day was deeply engraved in his heart.
Now, for some reason, Bubbles has fallen into a deep sleep, and there is no sign of waking up. And Zhao Hao, his ashes still exist in the Dream Ring.
As for Junling, he is now weak, and if he wants to withstand the cold, he must use this fox fur.
Therefore, after this inexplicable survival, he never gave up his cultivation, although he traveled all the way, the effect of cultivation was not obvious.
Despite this, his current cultivation is already the ninth level of the Vortex Realm, and his sword path has been improved from the subtlety to the realm of returning to the truth.
It may seem hard to imagine, but it's true. And the price he paid for all this was just a sleep and an incomparably long dream.
In addition to cultivating martial arts in the dream, the memories of alchemy refining tools and formations in his mind have also been almost digested.
It's a magical dream, and I don't know how many hundred years have passed in the dream. This familiar encounter reminded him of the lost Scarlet Moon, and he vaguely felt that the bubble coma had something to do with the dream.
In any case, he had gained enough from this catastrophe. Not only did he make great progress, but he also became full-time all of a sudden, and he was proficient in almost everything.
However, it is not easy to make these professions effective. At least, he didn't even have the alchemy pill in his hand now, and he didn't have the right medicinal materials.
Even the medicines used to nourish Junling's body are ordinary herbs found at the back of the village, and the method of boiling them is also very old-fashioned.
Although it was not the first time to hear Chu Chen's rogue answer, Junling still felt a little hot at this moment, and said angrily: "What's so good, it's just a blind man." You get out, hurry out, do what you have to do! ”
Chu Chen smiled, didn't insist any longer, and said with a smile before leaving: "I heard that there are more than a thousand years of yacon fruit in the depths of the Piaoling Mountain Range, if it can be refined into a pill, it can be a dead wood to survive." ”
"Yacon? Dead wood for life? Chu Chen had already left, but Junling didn't get up for a long time. After a long time, she shook her head and chuckled: "How easy is it?" Actually, this kind of tranquility is very good, I like it very much. ”
Chu Chen came to the courtyard and began to practice his sword as usual. Soon, snow flew in the courtyard, and the sword aura was permeated.
Suddenly, there was a cheering voice at the door, but it was a few men from the village standing at the door.
"Village chief, Second Uncle Niu, why are you here?" Chu Chen put away his sword and greeted them one by one.
"Today's snow is small, and the brothers pondered for a while, thinking about whether to go farther into the mountains and forests, if they can hunt a big guy, then they don't have to starve this winter." Second Uncle Niu, who was dressed in animal skin and shirtless, said.
"It's very good, if the harvest is better, it would be better if I could exchange some silver taels to make winter clothes for the children." Whitebeard Village stroked his beard and smiled.
Several other simple strong men also expressed their opinions, and to put it mildly, they were basically the same, just to take advantage of the snow to hunt more things and come back.
Chu Chen didn't plan to go out, but he was quite moved at the moment. He also wants to gain a little more, and it is very good to buy even an inferior Danding for himself, or exchange some uncommon drugs for Junling.
After thinking about it, Chu Chen nodded and said, "Wait a minute, big brother, the younger brother will inform the insider first, and he will come in a moment." ”
"Haha, Brother Lin and his wife are deeply affectionate, and the whole village knows it. In this way, we will not bother and wait for you at the entrance of the Drifting Snow Forest. The old village chief smiled, and the group of people quickly left.
Chu Chen complained in his heart, Brother Lin, this generation is also drunk!
But then again, he is not called Chu Chen now, but takes "Chu" on the head, surnamed Lin, and he is now called Lin Chen. As for the reason, of course, it is still hidden and hidden.
Who knows if someone will happen to pass by here and leak his whereabouts? Walking the rivers and lakes, it is always right to be careful.
In the room, where is Junling in a daze again.
Chu Chen stepped forward and said with a smile: "Junling, I will go out for some time, three or two days soon, and I will be back in seven days at most." Don't go out these days and take care of yourself. ”
"Why are you going out all of a sudden?" Junling was slightly stunned and turned around.
"The snow will get heavier and heavier, I want to get more things to come back, buy a Danding, and buy you some medicinal herbs that can't be picked here." Chu Chen smiled, and was about to leave after speaking.
Junling gritted his teeth, but finally stopped him, and said with a complicated expression: "Don't force yourself, whether you can restore the star vein or not doesn't matter to me at all." ”
Chu Chen stopped and turned around, and said with a smile: "Is this concerned about me?" ”
"What do you like, anyway...... Anyway, you have to come back well, I can't see anything now......" Junling tried his best to deny it, but his little face became redder and redder.
Chu Chen didn't let her continue, suddenly stepped forward and hugged her, and said softly: "Don't worry, I'll be fine, and you will be okay." Seriously, I'm a little grateful to Lei Ao now, if he hadn't betrayed you in the first place, how could I have approached you? ”
"Bastard, don't mention that person, and don't touch me, I'm just following you temporarily, and when I'm well, I'll leave immediately." The original trace of emotion was completely vanished when he heard that name, and Junling was a little angry.
Chu Chen smiled, didn't speak, took the iron sword and left.
There are some things, there is no need to delve into them, he knows that Junling has no love for him, and when she tells her about the past with Lei Ao, he knows that she still can't let go.
Just, so what? This does not prevent him from admiring this woman and falling in love with this woman.
