Chapter Twenty-Four: Granny Qian
The three of them followed Zhou Yan all the way to a residential courtyard in the alley next to the main street.
This courtyard is still spacious, not cramped, the main house is flanked by wings, a total of three rooms, and the other place is a vacant stove room. In the center of the courtyard are wooden tables and chairs, which happen to be placed under the grape trellises set up in the courtyard. The layout of the whole courtyard is decent, and the layout is also simple and generous, although it is not luxurious, it is very practical.
Su Run, Xiao Luo and Xue Yun stood by the wooden table in the courtyard, a little at a loss.
And Zhou Yan, who brought them back, was being pushed out of the stove room by an old woman with white hair.
As Zhou Yan said before, she only rented three rooms in a house in Suzhen for temporary residence, so this courtyard naturally has an owner.
They had seen the old woman who had greeted and spoken a few words before, and was the owner of the courtyard.
Granny Qian is not a cultivator, she is an ordinary person who does not have the talent of spiritual roots, she is already in her prime, and she has gone through most of her life without cultivating to prolong her life. Now there are a few people standing in her courtyard, but they are all monks, and they still look young and young. Granny Qian knew that there was a big gap between the appearance of the monk and the ordinary people, and she had a good attitude when facing them, and after confirming that these "children" were indeed many years younger than her, she simply took the right to treat them as children when the difference between them was the difference in appearance.
After seeing Zhou Yan bring the stranger back, Granny Qian was startled and quickly after Zhou Yan's introduction, she washed her hands with a smile and ran to the stove room to chatter, saying that she wanted to cook some good dishes for them to use as a catch.
The first time I saw Granny Qian, she was so enthusiastic, the three of them, especially Su Run and Xue Yuan, were a little unaccustomed to it.
When they saw that Zhou Yan, who had followed into the stove room, was quickly pushed out, the three of them told her whether it was not appropriate to let Granny Qian and an old man do these things for them at this time.
Zhou Yan said with a smile: "It's okay, Granny Qian likes to be lively, since Su Zhen was closed by the epidemic, it is much quieter than in the past, and many of the neighbors no longer move around at all, she has long been a little panicked." Now that she saw so many of us here, there were a lot more people in this courtyard anyway, and she was happy. Granny Qian's cooking skills are very good, and she is willing to ponder these things about frying and frying, I am the only one on weekdays, and sometimes she does too much and doesn't even have a taste of it, which is also a loss. Coincidentally, earlier today, Uncle Wei brought in some fresh vegetables, and Granny Qian told me in the morning that it would be a pity not to hurry up and make those fresh vegetables. “
"Uncle Wei?"
"Oh, it's Granny Qian's husband, I haven't seen it, but I heard Granny Qian say that he is also an ordinary person who can't practice. The two of them live in a village not far from Su Town, and the house in the town was bought by their son, and some time ago their son went to other places to do business, and invited their old couple to live in the town, saying that they would help to see the house. Originally, it was also a filial piety, who knows...... caught up with this epidemic that I don't know what happened, but instead trapped Granny Qian alone in Su Town. “
"Alone?" Xue Yun heard this, and then there was a group of people: "Didn't you say that the old couple came to the town together to help their son look after the house?"
"Well, it would have been. It's just that Uncle Wei and Granny Qian are both idle and worry about their family's land, so although they live in the town, Uncle Wei will often go home. At the time of the outbreak of the epidemic, Uncle Wei happened to go home to cook the vegetable field, and he was not in the town, so he was not sealed together, and when he found it later, he originally wanted to come in to accompany Granny Qian, but it was Granny Qian who heard the news and ran to the gate of the town to persuade him to go back first. Uncle Wei listened to Granny Qian's words and went back, but he just sent some fresh vegetables, wild fruits and game every day, and asked the people guarding the town gate to help give them to Granny Qian. “
Xiao Luo listened to Zhou Yan's words, his brows moved slightly, but he didn't show more strangeness at this moment, but smiled and said: "It sounds like this, the relationship between the two of them is really good." “
"Not really. Zhou Yan said with a smile: "When you eat for a while, Granny Qian can't help but praise you about how fresh and good this dish is, and then the topic will turn to her wife Uncle Wei." Anyway, listening to Granny Qian praising Uncle Wei, we should just make a few peaces, so that Granny Qian will be happy. “
Xue Yun glanced at the smiling Zhou Yan deeply, with some emotion and some doubts in his heart.
Su Run had been standing silently with his arms folded to the side, and after hearing that their topic was over for the time being, he raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice, "What are you running around the street for?"
Zhou Yan's body stiffened, and the smile on his face tended to crack a little. It's like ...... I didn't expect that some things still failed to fool the past, and I looked disappointed and frustrated.
Su Run frowned slightly, looked at Zhou Yan, who had stiffened, and asked again: "Look in the direction you were at the time...... You're going to run south?"
"Uh......" Zhou Yan couldn't help but twist and twist his hands behind his back: "That...... Would you believe me if I said I was just going out for a walk?"
Su Run didn't speak, just looked at Zhou Yan quietly.
Xiao Luo pulled Xue Yun and quietly took two steps back, a little farther away from the two of them, then turned his head close to Xue Yuan's ear, lowered his voice and said: "This guy, he is really angry, this is a rare sight, let's take a good look at it on the side." “
Although after these days, Xue Yun had already learned a little about the way Xiao Luo and Su Run, two best friends, got along, but at this time, he saw that Xiao Luo blatantly wanted to watch Su Run's play, and he still said these words instead of using a voice transmission when he knew that the cultivator's ears and eyes would definitely hear it clearly......
But it seems that what Xiao Luo said is right, Su Run is really angry, and he didn't even see any reaction when he heard Xiao Luo's words.
Xiao Luo understands Su Run, and Zhou Yan, who is being stared at by Su Run, also understands.
Knowing that he couldn't be fooled, Zhou Yan, who had to tell the truth at this time, suddenly had a bitter face, lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look at Su Run: "That...... You know, I'm not good at spells, I can't use edgeworth, and I don't have any magic weapons to take advantage of, just a little bit above the use of poison drugs. Although...... Plagues are not poisonous, but I thought...... Maybe there's always something in common, so ......"
Su Run pursed his lips tightly, did not make a sound, and did not move.
"I ...... I also want to be able to help solve the matter of Su Zhen's ban as soon as possible......"
Su Run still didn't speak.
"That...... Su Run......"
"The dish is ready!"
In the end, it was the voice of Granny Qian, who poked her head out of the stove room with a ruddy face and a smile, which relieved Zhou Yan.
Although it was estimated that it was only temporary, Zhou Yan still breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, okay! Eat this and eat it! Granny Qian, I'll help serve the food!"
Seeing Zhou Yan running into the stove room, Su Run's breath seemed to be cold for two points.
At this time, Xiao Luo walked over, stretched out his hand and patted Su Run's shoulder: "Don't keep a straight face, do you remember what Zhou Yan said just now?" Anyway, we are all uninvited tenants, be polite to the landlord, and when that Granny Qian comes out, remember to smile!"
Su Run: "......"
Xue Yun stood aside and silently covered his snickering mouth.
During the meal, the enthusiastic Granny Qian really talked about the raw materials for cooking when she introduced the dishes:
"Taste it, how does this mushroom soup taste? They are all freshly picked mushrooms, they are very fragrant, and they are the most suitable for stewing soup! These wild mushrooms are not easy to obtain, cultivators like you can't look down on them, ordinary people like us, if they don't have a little experience and eyesight, they really can't be found by anyone!"
Zhou Yan buried his head in hard work to avoid Su Run's gaze from time to time, Su Run had something in his heart, and he had never been good at such occasions. Although Xue Yuan has grown a lot these days, he has not yet reached the level of free play.
Xiao Luo put down the empty soup bowl in his hand, and smiled sincerely: "Granny Qian said so, then I have to drink two more bowls." The taste is delicious, the aftertaste is long, this fungus is fresh, Granny Qian, your craftsmanship is also a must, it is worthy of such a good fungus. “
Granny Qian listened to Xiao Luo's words, and the smile lines on her face really deepened a few points: "It's good if you like it, it's good if you like it! It's also my stupid old man, how many times have I told him that an old woman can't eat much, and she doesn't need to send so many so diligently, but he just didn't listen, relying on me now that I can't go out of town to teach him face-to-face, and I keep sending food here every day, not to mention that I can't eat and waste, this is a troublesome doorkeeper, or a cultivator who cultivates, and he is embarrassed to trouble people every day. Wait for Mr. Qi to lead someone to solve this plague, and see how I clean him up when I get home!"
Although Granny Qian seemed to be complaining dissatisfiedly about her old wife, Uncle Wei, she was smiling brightly on her face, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes still revealed an unconcealable sense of happiness and satisfaction.
Her words looked like she was complaining, but in fact, she was showing off.
"Yes, when Mr. Qi solves the epidemic and lifts the ban on Su Zhen, Uncle Wei will be able to eat the meals you made again. Thinking about these days, I must have thought badly, and I spoiled him. “
Granny Qian listened to this, a little happy and at the same time showed some longing, but after a while, she laughed again, full of confidence and expectation: "Since Mr. Qi has taken care of it, it will definitely not be long before this matter will be resolved, maybe...... Tomorrow that old fellow will come here to me!"
Xiao Luo hooked his lips and smiled, and turned his head to meet the eyes of Xue Yun beside him.
In the past, there were two Qi refining cultivators guarding the gate of the town, and later there were people in the town who were still quiet and obedient even if the town was closed, and now she was just an ordinary person with great confidence.
The people in Su Town really trust and worship that Mr. Qi.
He wanted to meet this Mr. Qi more and more.
In this way, Mr. Qi of Su Zhenmin can construct such a subtle closed formation enchantment.
