Chapter Seventy-Three: Strange Things
Xiaochen knew that Han didn't want to mention more, so he had to suppress the doubts in his heart and stop dwelling, and followed Huang Cheng and the two back to the bonfire that had not been completely extinguished, waiting for dawn. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
There was no need to observe, and several people simply crossed their knees and closed their eyes to meditate. Using every moment you can use to improve your cultivation is the most basic prerequisite for becoming a strong person, and improving your cultivation is the most important thing for you all the time.
When cultivating, time seemed to pass quickly, and when a few people opened their eyes, the sun had already climbed high.
Xiaochen stood up, symbolically moved his body, and said, "Let's enter the village." ”
Huang Cheng and Wuchen didn't say anything, but they didn't pay attention to Xiaochen, they just quietly walked to the village with Xiaochen.
I could have left it anyway and left yesterday, but Xiaochen just wanted to take care of it, Wuchen couldn't figure it out, what made Xiaochen have to do this, and he could only force himself not to leave, only Huang Cheng could probably guess some, the reason why Xiaochen did this, I'm afraid it was just because he wanted to do it, and the reason why he could stay might be to do it with Xiaochen.
At the speed of the three of them, they came to the entrance of the village after a while, and they found that the village was originally empty and silent, and there were occasional villagers passing by on the road, and from time to time they could hear bursts of hearty laughter and scolding.
"As soon as we go in, we will say that we are martial arts people, and we came here after coming out to look for medicinal materials, and don't mention the affairs of the village." How to speak, Huang Cheng didn't know, Wuchen never disdained to be with mortals, but Xiaochen was familiar with the road, and after explaining, he took the lead in the village.
The first person Xiaochen met was the half-naked girl he saw last night, Huang Cheng and Wuchen were behind him, Xiaochen had to step forward and ask: "Girl, excuse me, in Xia Aliu, can you tell me if there is a century-old ginseng in this forest." After speaking, Xiaochen sincerely looked at the girl who was watering vegetables in her own home.
"Dogs know that ginseng grows on the mountain." Although Reverse Cangtian is in a tattooed state, it does not affect his conversation with Xiaochen, and when he heard that Xiaochen asked if there was ginseng in the forest, Reverse Cangtian almost didn't laugh.
Hearing this, the girl raised her head, looked at a young man, looked at herself with a bright bald head, lowered her head with a blushing face, put down the scoop in her hand, and whispered: "I don't know, you wait, I'll ask my father." ”
"What the I don't know." If the sky is not a tattoo at this moment, the expression must be with a wide mouth and eyes staring.
Xiaochen dared to let her really ask his father, and hurriedly said: "Then don't bother, the three of us have been wandering in the forest for several days, and we haven't had a good meal, can you help us get some delicious food, Nuo, give you money." As he spoke, Xiaochen took out a large ingot of silver ingots.
"Money? Is it the kind of stone that can be exchanged outside? The girl seemed to be unsure of what the money was, and her face was puzzled, and then she continued. I can't be the master of this, I'd better ask my father. "With that, he will go into the house.
"Take this to your father." Xiaochen smiled and threw the silver ingot in his hand into the girl's hand.
It didn't take long for the girl to come out of the house with a middle-aged man, the man was holding the silver ingots sent by Xiaochen, and when he came to Xiaochen, he stretched out his hand and handed the silver to Xiaochen, and said: "This young man, the silver is not needed, just have a meal, just help me turn over this small piece of land behind the house." But the desire in his eyes, Xiaochen saw it all.
Hehe smiled, Xiaochen held the silver in the man's hand, and said, "Uncle, don't worry, accept the silver, and I will help you finish it." ”
The middle-aged man looked at Xiaochen with a look of surprise, did not speak, but the girl on the side said happily: "That's really good, I'll pick mushrooms for you later." ”
The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly, touched his daughter's head, and asked Xiaochen and his party to return home, but Xiaochen followed in the direction where the girl left with a smile, Huang Cheng didn't react much, just followed the man to the house, except for Wuchen, looking at the back of Xiaochen leaving with a ghostly look, he felt a little bad in his heart at the moment, such a monk, he had never seen it, he could bend his knees and call a mortal uncle, obviously to help others, and seriously requested, not to say goodbye, he hadn't even heard of it before.
After coming to the middle-aged man's house, the middle-aged man said that his surname was Zhang, and his name was Dashu, and then beckoned Xiaochen to sit down, took out a basket, and said that he would let his daughter go to the forest to pick some mushrooms, Xiaochen ignored Huang Cheng's glare, and volunteered to accompany the girl, the girl blushed and bowed her head silently, Xiaochen naturally unceremoniously thought that the other party acquiesced, so he put on his back and went into the forest with the girl.
"Is he really okay like this?" After Xiaochen and the girl left, Zhang Dashu also left, leaving Huang Cheng and Wuchen sitting in the house, at this time, Wuchen asked.
"What do you mean?" Huang Cheng asked rhetorically.
"So close to mortals." Wuchen Road.
"What does it matter, I think it's good." Huang Cheng said with an indifferent face.
"If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that he will forget the iron rules of the cultivation realm, and I'm afraid it won't be good at that time." Wuchen's words seem to be for Xiaochen's sake, but in fact he is also tempting, testing Xiaochen's status in Xuanqing Mountain, if his status is extremely high, even if something happens, there must be elders who will come forward to protect him.
"I'm afraid he never took it to heart." Huang Cheng didn't know the mystery of Wuchen's words, but she could be said to be the person who knew Xiaochen the most besides the brothers and sisters who were against the sky and the sick old man, so it was also in line with what Xiaochen thought, it was naturally the truth, and it also made Wuchen unable to find any information that could be used.
"Your name is Aliu, and you're ...... You ......" Xiaochen walked beside the girl, and the girl opened her mouth to ask something, but she seemed to think it was inappropriate, and she didn't ask.
"Ask me where my hair went?" Xiaochen smiled, seeing that the girl looked at her bald head but didn't speak, she naturally guessed what the other party wanted to ask.
"Hmm." The girl bowed her head and whispered.
"Burned." What Xiaochen said is not half fictional.
"Bragging." The girl raised her head and looked at Xiaochen, the anger in her eyes was undoubtedly revealed, obviously thinking that Xiaochen had lied to her.
"I'm a man, can I lie to you?" Xiaochen is helpless, everyone believes this lie, and when he tells the truth, no one believes it.
"Then why don't you have a scar on your face? How old are you? "Compared to the girl just now, she is much less shy, and there are more problems.
"Because only my hair is on fire, brother, I'm eighteen years old." Xiaochen spread his hands outwards and said with a grin.
"Well, that's only two years older than me." The girl smiled lightly.
Xiaochen found that the plainly dressed girl in front of her was not very beautiful, and she didn't know how much worse than Huang Cheng, but she had a temperament, a pure and flawless temperament.
"When you arrive, it's this forest, there are a lot of mushrooms here, remember not to pick colorful ones, they are poisonous and can't be eaten." From not saying a word at the beginning, to talking and laughing all the way later, the girl reminded Xiaochen that she had arrived at her destination.
"Start stepping on mushrooms!" Xiaochen shouted, put down the basket and walked in one direction, and in the next time, Xiaochen trampled all the brightly colored mushrooms with his feet.
"Okay, little sister, pick it from here, and make sure there is not a single poisonous mushroom." Xiaochen returned to the young man's side, patted his chest and said.
"Don't call me little sister, my name is Zhang Xiaomei." The girl was bending down to pick mushrooms, when she suddenly heard Xiaochen speak, straightened up and said.
"Xiaomei, hehehe......" Xiaochen watched Zhang Xiaomei walk in the direction he pointed, standing in place and smiling.
"By the way, what do you have to do this night?" Xiaochen is not greedy for "Xiaomei", so he followed Zhang Xiaomei out to pick mushrooms, play and play, he never forgot to get down to business, and only asked when he saw that he was familiar with Zhang Xiaomei.
"At night? I don't know, the people in our village don't come out at night, and they all go to sleep as soon as it's dark. Zhang Xiaomei bent over, but turned her head and said to Xiaochen.
"Oh, we're in town, and we're out for fireworks at night." Xiaochen leaned against a big tree and said.
"What are fireworks?" Zhang Xiaomei obviously heard about it for the first time.
"It's a very strange thing, it flies into the sky at night, like a flower in the sky, by the way, have you seen or encountered anything strange in the village?" Xiaochen pick-up routine.
