Chapter 1 Yejia Village
Yejia Village is a small village with a somewhat remote location. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info said that it is remote because it is the only village in this area of nearly 100 miles, and it is inconvenient and inaccessible to the outside world; It is said to be small because there are only about 20 households in the whole village, and there are about 1,200 people in total.
Because of the lack of contact with the outside world, the whole village is basically self-sufficient. For convenience, a clearing in the middle of the village has formed a simple bazaar, where those who have surplus can exchange them for what they need. The life of the whole village is basically quite affluent.
In the evening, the sound of eager footsteps suddenly sounded at the end of the village, which had been quiet, as if to indicate the eagerness of its owner.
Here, there is only one thatched hut where a pair of grandparents who moved from the village a few years ago live.
Outside the thatched house, a busy old man heard the sound and stopped chopping wood. Looking in the direction from which the voice came, I saw a little boy with a tiger's head and a tiger head quickly approaching. The old man recognized him as the grandson of his eldest brother, Huzi, and often played with his granddaughter.
It may be that he ran too fast before, even if he stopped, Huzi was still a little out of breath, and when he saw the old man looking at him, he hurriedly said, "Three...... Three grandfathers".
"It's Huzi, why are you here, you're here to play with Ning'er." The old man, who is the third grandfather in Huzi's mouth, didn't seem to be surprised by Huzi's arrival, he thought that Huzi was here to find his granddaughter as usual, and smiled kindly.
Then without waiting for Huzi to say anything, he said apologetically: "But Ning'er has already gone out to play, and she is not here now, if you want to find her, you can go to the village to have a look, don't you usually go there to play?" The third grandfather remembered that Ning'er said that he was going there before. ”
"No... No, I..."Knowing that the third grandfather had misunderstood, Huzi waved his hand again and again, wanting to show that he was not here to find Ning'er, but unfortunately he ran too fast just now and did not turn around.
At this time, a bowl of water appeared in front of him, and when he looked up, he heard the third grandfather say kindly: "Drink saliva first." ”
After a few quick sips of water, he finally felt comfortable, and Huzi hurriedly explained: "Third grandfather, you just misunderstood, I didn't come to Xiao Ning to play, I came to you, no, it was my grandfather who was looking for you, not me." ”
Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but be a little surprised, I don't know what the eldest brother can do with him at this time? Then asked Huzi, "Did your grandfather say what happened?" ”
"I don't know, my grandfather just asked me to call the third grandfather to come over, and the rest of me don't know." Huzi seemed to think of something, and continued: "However, two strangers came to my family today, and then several grandfathers and uncles went to my house, and they are still in my house." ”
"Really?" Thinking of a possibility, the old man's expression changed, which is really not a good thing.
"Third grandfather, third grandfather, what's wrong with you?" Seeing the old man's suddenly ugly face, Huzi was a little worried, and didn't understand what was wrong with the third grandfather, so he hurriedly grabbed the old man's arm and shook it.
When the old man came back to his senses, he saw Huzi with a panicked face, and hurriedly comforted: "Huzi, don't panic, Huzi, the third grandfather is fine, the third grandfather is fine." After comforting for a while, he comforted Huzi.
"Third grandfather, I'm going to play." Huzi was about to leave, but he was stopped by the third grandfather, and looked at him for some reason, "Third grandfather? ”
"It's okay, the third grandfather just doesn't know when he will come back, I'm worried that I'll come back late, Ning'er is scared at home alone, if you see Ning'er later, tell her, let her go to Niuniu's house to play with Niuniu first, and then pick her up when the third grandfather comes back."
"Well, I'll tell Xiao Ning."
The old man was relieved, and as soon as Huzi left, he simply cleaned up and went to his eldest brother.
The old man has two older brothers and one sister, but only his eldest brother and him are still alive.
His eldest brother is the head of Yejia Village and lives in the center of the village. Originally, his family also lived in this neighborhood, but something bad happened a few years ago, the old man was a stubborn temper, and in a fit of anger, he took his infant granddaughter to move to the thatched house at the end of the village, and his eldest brother persuaded him, but there was nothing at all.
In this way, the old man and his granddaughter lived at the end of the village until today. And because of the knot, he has rarely walked around the village in recent years, and even the eldest brother's house, which was closer to him in the past, rarely came.
This is the first time he has come to his eldest brother's house this year.
When he arrived, the house was full of old people from the village he knew, and he didn't see any strangers.
Probably seeing his doubts, his eldest brother said, "My lord has worked hard all the way and has already rested." ”
"Third brother, I won't say much about the rest, I think you also know the meaning of calling you tonight, after all, this is not the first time, even when we were young, we experienced it, what do you think?" His eldest brother said directly, obviously not ready to go around the bend with him.
"I don't agree with my family Ning'er leaving, and I don't agree with her going her parents' old way." The old man flatly refused, apparently remembering the sad things of the past.
"I'm just such a son, if I don't see it, I'm gone, how good the person who took him away said it was, and said that Xiuxian was simply omnipotent, but as a result, I don't know if it's dead or alive, how many years have it been."
The more he talked, the more excited the old man became, "When Ning Er's mother was pregnant and came to say that he was missing, do you know how I felt at the time?" I only have one son. ”
"Okay, third child, this is not a bad thing, didn't you just say that it was missing, maybe we will come back one day, even if we don't go to cultivate immortals, we should know that a few years is not a matter for those of them at all." The old man's uncle said loudly.
"Yes, those immortals have outlived us, and they may come back one day." Others chimed in.
"No, I don't agree, how old is Ning'er, I don't worry about her leaving." The old man still insisted, "I said when Ning'er and her mother left, I hope she will live her life in peace, where do you say there can be safety here?" ”
Everyone was silent, thinking that he was right, this place was not only remote, but also inhabited, and if they didn't know that there was such a place, it would not be easy to find it.
As for Ning Er and her mother, she did say this when she left with those people, and most of them were there at the time, so naturally they heard it.
It's just that how those people found this place at that time, they still don't know, they can only say that the methods of immortal cultivators are not something they can peep into.
"Okay, the matter hasn't been seen yet, and I don't know if the children have the ability to be favored by others, what's the use of saying more now, everything will be known tomorrow for the adult to see, if there is really a child who has that ability, can you still prevent him (she) from leaving with that adult."
At this point, the oldest old man here broke the silence and concluded.
