Early morning, dawn, morning sun, morning dew...... These things all symbolize new life and also symbolize beautiful things.

Xu Ning pushed open the door, took a deep breath of the air in this mountain forest in the southeast of the empire, stretched his waist, and his face was not tired, but a little excited.

The hard work of this night was not in vain, I changed into a purple robe, tidied up my appearance a little, and walked into the courtyard.

When I came yesterday, I was still unconscious, and I didn't carefully observe the surrounding environment.

It seems that Duanmu Thirteen is not lying, this Duanmu family was indeed a very big family here before, and it can be seen from the courtyard. The blue-striped stone floor has been weathered for decades and is covered with moss and rain-washed spills.

The courtyard is very large, the big one is a bit desolate, the main house is two floors up, and the place where Xu Ning practiced for a night is a guest room under the main house, which looks really inconspicuous from the outside. There are only a few ordinary flowers and plants in the courtyard, which seem to have been transplanted directly from the mountains and forests, so it is not elegant and noble, but makes people feel that this place is more like a mountain jungle.

There are a lot of vegetables planted in the open space, of course, they have dried up at this time, leaving some shelves and seedlings, and there are some evergreen vegetables, but they have grown crazy for a winter, and I am afraid that they will not be able to eat for a long time.

It is not so much a dilapidated family courtyard as it has evolved into a typical farmer's courtyard.

"Brother Xu Ning!"

As he was looking left and right, a surprised and sweet voice sounded from behind. As soon as Xu Ning turned around, Yan Bing jumped on top of him and hugged him tightly.

"Brother Xu Ning, are you okay?!"

"It's okay, come down quickly, let the family see how bad it is!" Xu Ning hurriedly let go of his arm and let Yan Bing come down. Yan Bing's face was flushed, and she thought that she felt a little shy about her actions, the girl's psychology was very mysterious and sensitive. Especially in front of your loved ones.

"It's good now. Finally time to have a good chat. Xu Ning said with a sigh, smiling softly at Yan Bing.

After being separated for so long, the two naturally have endless bosom things to say, but. For now, we have to give up. Because Duanmu Thirteen appeared immediately after Yan Bing.

"Brother Xu. You're already awake?! Great, it looks like you're almost in good shape. ”

Xu Ning hurriedly let go of Yan Bingdi's hand and said, "Thank you Duanmu senior for taking care of you." I'm fine. ”

"Haha, that's good, that's good! Prepare a little food and drink, I guess you are hungry, little brother, come with me. Duanmu Thirteen said excitedly.

Xu Ning and Yan Bing are quite helpless, in the village and wilderness, the highest benefit of the most guests is to eat and drink, if this is not taken care of, it will make people gossip.

The three of them came to the small pavilion in front of them one after the other, a rough wooden table was already full of all kinds of dishes, Xu Ning couldn't help but warm his heart, and he could see that these meals were carefully prepared early in the morning.

The dishes and plates are all very ordinary, and the cooking of the dishes is not excessively delicate and exaggerated, and it looks full of natural and pastoral feeling. Xu Ning just liked this kind of unpretentious thing, sat down and looked around, constantly twitching his nose.

"Haha, little brother, are you looking for this thing?" Duanmu Thirteen took out a wine jar from under the table and placed it on the table. Xu Ning smiled and said, "It seems that the old man has been prepared for a long time. ”

Duanmu 13 sighed and said: "I am also a good drinker, but when I was at the post station, I was ashamed that I didn't entertain the little brother because I couldn't help myself. This jar of wine is the five grains that I have hidden for more than 20 years, and today the distinguished guests should also take it out for a good tooth sacrifice. ”

Xu Ning was grateful, stretched out his hand to take it, and after opening the wine jar, a clear and sweet aroma of wine came to his face.

"Good wine! Sweet but not strong, mellow and powerful! ”

The little brother laughed, it's just ordinary grains, if it's special, it's the clear spring water in this mountain, which is more flavorful than other places. If it weren't for this water, there would be no wine. Duanmu Thirteen said, put the two wine bowls on the table, took the wine jar himself, and poured two bowls.

"Oh, listening to Duanmu's predecessors, what is the origin of the water here?"

"I don't know, even though our family has lived here for three generations, we just wander around the nearby mountains, and we haven't set foot further afield."

Xu Ning took a sip and couldn't help but admire, but he was interested in Duanmu Thirteen's words.

"Why don't you explore more territory if you live here? There are no restrictions in the Dongzhou Empire! Xu Ning remembered the Qilin Mountains behind his house, although it would only be calmer in winter throughout the year, but he had already explored it clearly.

"I'm ashamed to say this. Although the idea of this town has been constant, the population is too small, and there are even fewer people like Xiao Ge who have advanced ability and cultivation. If you go too far, you are also worried about the danger of what will happen. Duanmu Thirteen said.

I see, but it makes sense.

Most of the mountains in the Dongzhou Empire are covered by dense deep forests, if you encounter a human-type demon beast, there may be no danger, if you encounter a beast-type demon beast, I am afraid that it will become a big dung before you say a word.

"In that case, what do the people in the town live on?" Xu Ning couldn't help asking.

"Oh, it's easy. Although this place is desolate, at that time, three hundred miles away from here, there was a large city, called Sanbian City, which was the junction of the Dongzhou Empire, the Central Continent Empire and the Nanzhou Empire, and a large sales activity would be carried out there every month. On weekdays, the people here will collect some spiritual grass, mountain goods, etc., and send them to three hundred miles away for trading. Although there is nothing particularly expensive here, everything is of good quality, so it can feed everyone. ”

Xu Ning nodded, although the spirit grasses that Duanmu Thirteen prepared yesterday were all extremely ordinary, but judging from their fineness and quality, they were all excellent.

Just like this, while eating and chatting, an hour has passed unconsciously, a jar of wine has already bottomed out, Duanmu Thirteen took out two jars of other wine, although the quality and years have declined a little, but the taste is still very pure, which makes Xu Ning feel very shocked.

"If you say that the materials for brewing, it is just ordinary food, but this taste is very special, after drinking, I feel that a stream of aura directly enters my meridians, not only not drunk, but more and more sober."

Xu Ning secretly speculated in his heart, and couldn't help but have some questions.

The three of them were eating and drinking, when suddenly there was a noise outside.

Duanmu Thirteen frowned and shouted unhappily: "Second brother, are you back?" ”

"Duanmu senior, is it Ling Lang?"

"The one who came back at this time must be my second son Duanmu Fei, he went up to the mountains early in the morning to hunt, this kid, knowing that there are guests at home is really presumptuous!"

Duanmu Thirteen stood up very unhappily, but at this time, the person who appeared outside the door stumbled over.

"Duanmu Daddy, hurry, hurry, something happened!"

The person who came was a hairy child about ten years old, with a childish face, sweat on his face, and his eyes full of horror.

"Puppy? Why are you here, something good has happened! Duanmu Thirteen was shocked and said, "Is it that your little brother Fei is causing trouble and fighting again?" ”

"No, no!"

The little dog wiped his sweat, stretched his neck and swallowed a mouthful of earth, and said angrily: "No! Xiao Fei Ge didn't fight, it was someone else who beat Xiao Fei Ge! Quick, let's go, right in the mountain pass, Little Feige's leg is broken! ”

"What?!" Duanmu Thirteen was stunned, and the wine bowl in his hand fell to the ground with a "pop" and shattered!

"When did it happen? And with whom?! ”

"In less than half an hour, it was the Zhong family who did it!"

Duanmu Thirteen's face became ugly, his hands and feet trembled, and he didn't care much, so he hugged his fists at Xu Ning and rushed out.

Xu Ning and Yan Bing felt very strange, this was really unexpected, in such a small town, could there still be bullies?

Grabbing the puppy who was about to run, Xu Ning asked, "Little brother, what's going on with the Zhong family?" ”

The little dog seemed to be hungry, grabbed a large cake on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, and said while chewing: "The Zhong family is a big family in our town, and the family is all bad guys, especially the boss Zhong Cheng, who always bullies people on weekdays!" Today, Brother Fei went up the mountain to hunt and got a good thing, they had to say that Brother Xiao Fei was hunted on the top of their mountain, and they wanted to take it away, but Brother Xiao Fei was naturally unwilling, so they started fighting......"

Although the little dog said vaguely, the general meaning was already very clear.

Xu Ning glanced at Yan Bing, smiled helplessly, and said, "It seems that there are bad people everywhere, such a small nameless town can't let people have a good breakfast." ”

"Brother Xu Ning, what are you going to do?"

"After eating other people's things, I naturally want to help! Puppy, lead the way! ”

Xu Ning picked up the wine bowl and drank it all! (To be continued......)
