Chapter 256: Bai Yi (I)
After a while, Su Wen finally saw something unusual.
It stands to reason that with such a powerful qi and blood, even if he has never practiced martial arts, he should be deaf and sharp-eyed and intuitive, but he didn't have it at all, and he stared unabashedly for a long time without noticing.
It didn't take long for the village to become lively, with the cries of children, the reprimands of adults, the cutting of wood and the fire, the feeding of chickens and cooking, and the naughty children who drove chickens and dogs to jump...... It is a harmonious and leisurely rural beauty.
The figure in the courtyard was finally busy, and the qi and blood that burned like firewood also converged and returned to the ordinary.
"Senior Brother Kong?" Yang Xin woke up and saw Su Wen standing motionless in front of the window, so he couldn't help but walk over curiously, but found that he didn't see anything.
The translucent white window paper was wet with the morning mist, making it difficult to see outside, but it smelled an astringent smell of paper.
After last night's exchange, the three of them have already determined their identities and titles.
Su Wen's identity is Maoshan Taoist Kong Xuan, Yin Ju's name is "Yin Hao", Yang Xin is "Yang Bei", and the identities of the two are Su Wen's junior brother and sister, and they went down the mountain together this time.
"Senior Brother Kong, morning. At this time, Yin Ju also woke up and got up to greet him.
The safety of the future depends on others, of course, we must be respectful.
"We'll be gone in a moment. Su Wen said softly, "I sensed a strong aura last night. ”
Yin Ju and Yang Xin were at the same time, and nodded in unison.
Didn't ask much.
"Act on the opportunia. After Su Wen and the two of them exchanged good words, they walked out first.
Outside, a woman in her 50s is cooking on the fire, which should be the mother of the middle-aged man.
At this age, in this era similar to the Republic of China, it is enough to call an "old lady".
The skeleton is wide, the face is square, slightly black, very similar to a middle-aged man, the sideburns are slightly white, the eyes are bright, the crow's feet at the corners of the eyes are obvious, the fingers are rough, the blue clothes have been washed white, the action is very sharp, while burning the fire while peeling the sweet potato, the knife is like flying, and a sweet potato is peeled with a few brushes, but the peeled skin is a little thick......
"The three Taoist leaders are awake, wait a while, the porridge will be fine soon!" Seeing the three of them, the old lady was not surprised, obviously the middle-aged man had already told her the identities of the three of them, and after greeting her warmly, he shouted loudly: "San'er, hurry up and come here, the three Taoist leaders are awake!"
"I'm causing trouble for my aunt. Su Wen bowed slightly, and said without humility or arrogance.
He is an orthodox Maoshan Taoist priest, and he has walked the rivers and lakes for three years, and he is from a rural area.
"It's our honor to have the Taoist here!" said the old lady hurriedly.
It can be seen that he is truly in awe of the profession of Taoist priest.
Su Wen also discovered from the details of cloth clothes, short hair, fields and other details that this is a secret realm similar to the Republic of China period, so he decided to use his identity as a Taoist priest of the Maoshan School.
I didn't expect it to be so easy to use.
At this time, the middle-aged man walked in from outside, saw the three of them again, and said with a little restraint: "The three Taoist elders are early, please come with me, the washing place is in the courtyard, this, the conditions are not good, please ask the Taoist general to go down." "I don't know how long I practiced before I said that.
"We are grateful for the hospitality of the laymen, but how dare we pick and choose. Su Wen bowed slightly, greeted the old lady, and then stepped forward to follow.
A cool breath came to my face.
Because it rained last night, it was a little cold this morning, but the air was exceptionally fresh, Yin Ju and Yang Xin couldn't help but take a deep breath, and slowly spit it out after a while.
There is a feeling of rejuvenation.
Su Wen looked around, and found that although there were only two mothers and sons in this family, life was not as embarrassing as imagined.
On the right side of the yard against the wall, an area is enclosed by a fence, in which more than a dozen chickens are raised, and a vegetable garden is reclaimed next to it, planted with tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, eggplants, etc., and the growth is gratifying.
Well-planned.
Such a family cannot be too poor.
There is a well in the courtyard, and the water has been prepared, and there are clean towels and soap powder.
"Thank you. After Su Wen thanked him, he asked, "You haven't asked for the name of the layman yet?"
"Chen San'er, it's good for the Taoist to call me San'er. The middle-aged man hurriedly replied.
"Chen Jushi. Su Wen chatted with Yin Ju and Yang Xin about family life while they were washing.
From his mouth, he learned that this village is called Baijiagou, and there are only 100 households, most of which are self-sufficient in daily food, and someone will go to the town every once in a while to purchase some daily necessities.
It's too far from the town here, and it takes half a day to drive a carriage, and it's very inconvenient to go out in the morning and come back in the evening.
However, it is better to be quiet and peaceful, and even the government seems to have forgotten about their village, and no one disturbs them.
Almost all the people in the village were related to each other, so Chen San'er didn't suspect that the melons were stolen by the villagers, but only thought that they were some small beasts.
There are no large beasts such as tigers and bears in the nearby mountains.
At least Chen San'er has not seen it for more than 30 years.
Su Wen was thinking that maybe he was beaten by that big demon.
"That's right, Chen Jushi. Su Wen suddenly showed an embarrassed expression and said, "Last night, we suddenly received a summons from the division that a senior brother was accidentally injured while catching ghosts, so let's go to the rescue quickly, I'm afraid we can't help you." ”
No way, the one he peeked at was too powerful, and he didn't want to die in vain.
"This ......" Chen San'er looked flustered.
If he leaves, what will happen to the village?
"That monster will only confuse people, don't dare to enter the village, I'll help you draw a demon talisman, if you encounter it, just stick the talisman on that monster. Su Wen said, "After we rescue our senior brother, we will come back again." "I learned from Chen San'er that the village has been safe for decades, and the big demon is either bound in the mountains and unable to leave, or is secretly planning something, or has something to do with this village.
In a word, it's as if the three of them haven't been here.
It's just a secret place!
I can only comfort myself like this.
"Okay. Chen San'er opened his mouth and saw that his eyes were firm, so he nodded helplessly.
Breakfast is sweet potato porridge, pickles, scrambled eggs with cucumbers, and fried eggs, which is already quite hearty.
The atmosphere was a bit depressing, though.
After eating, Chen San'er went to borrow paper and pens.
Not long after, I brought an old man with a childish face and crane hair and long flowing hair.
The old man was cleanly dressed and shoeed, holding a rattan cane in his hand, full of bearded hair, white as silver, and two white eyebrows hung down about an inch from the corners of his eyes on both sides, looking at his age, he was afraid that he was over 90 years old! However, his face was ruddy, his eyes were clear, although he was on crutches, his body was very tough, and as soon as he entered the door, he looked at Su Wen and the others.
"Dao Chief, this is the village chief of our Baijiagou. Chen San'er introduced the two sides, "Village chief, these are the three road chiefs. ”
"Hello, old man, poor Dao Kong Xuan, this is my junior brother Yin Hao and junior sister Yang Bei. Su Wen stepped forward, made a salute, and introduced the three of them as juniors.
"The three Taoist elders are polite, old and white. The old man opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of neat and white teeth, like a braided shell, which was enough to envy countless young people.
