Chapter 40: It's Getting Late, It's Time for Us to Rest!
Life passed like this. At least for Xu Baiyu, life is the same, and it is also delicious.
But Ji Qianhua's life is really turned upside down and he enjoys it.
Not only is she keen on cooking every day, but she also likes to chat with the little daughters-in-law and sisters-in-law in the village, and in just a short time, she mingles with them and is completely integrated into them.
At least Xu Baiyu met a few old ladies in the village and told him when they saw him, your daughter-in-law is really good! Bai Yu, you have married a good daughter-in-law, don't treat others badly.
This made Xu Baiyu feel inexplicable and funny.
This has even deviated from his original intention. He wanted Ji Qianhua to experience life, but he didn't get to the point where he was so completely integrated like now, and he even forgot about his practice, right?
Today's Ji Qian painting has completely adapted to the empress's light, and she has stored it in her body, making her look no different except for her handsome appearance.
Similarly, Ji Ruyan also mingled with the villagers, and her originally handsome and fair face also tanned a lot, but her body became stronger.
Even one night, Xu Baiyu actually saw Ji Ruyan humming with a sore back because of fatigue.
"Do you regret being here?" asked Xu Baiyu. "Actually, you don't have to get too involved in the farm work. ”
Ji Ruyan shook her head. "Actually, it's good to live here. I'm tired, but I'm satisfied. ”
"But, after all, these are menial farm work, and as long as you practice, it's easy to get a better life. ”
"If that's the case, why should I stay here? Staying in the Ji family is not the best choice? There are some things, you may not believe it when you say it, I have grown so big, only here can I really feel my worth. When we got more food, the happy smiling faces of the villagers made me feel a special sense of accomplishment. And these are things that can never be felt in the Ji family. In the Ji family, you may be rewarded for completing tasks, but that feeling doesn't give people a sense of accomplishment. Because if you don't do it, someone else can do it. I was able to get the job done because I worked hard to get there. No one will appreciate you, and no one will feel that you are indispensable. They don't even feel happy, and many even wish you could die in the mission so they could succeed in the position. But here it is different. I really felt needed, and the smiles on their faces were the most genuine. ”
"Uh......" Xu Baiyu can understand that feeling. But that doesn't seem to be the result he wants, does it?
When did hunting, farming, and chopping wood become a kind of happiness?
Isn't this a bit off?
"Uncle, have you ever thought about what people are pursuing all their lives? Cultivating to immortality? But if you just sit there every day and meditate and think about it without moving, then what is the meaning of this kind of immortality? At this stage, I think more clearly. Life doesn't care about the length, but the process of living. Even if you only have a few decades of time, but in these decades, you can always be needed, this village needs you, the people here need you, this land needs you, and even I can have a family here, a woman needs you, and a child will need you in the future, is it worth it in this life?"
"It's good if you're happy!" Xu Baiyu was a little speechless, how did he feel that this thing was like those hypocritical old monks who saw through the mortal dust and wanted to have an epiphany?
"I think it's worth it. And, uncle, you can't think of it, at this stage I even forgot about cultivation, forgetting that I would still practice. But miraculously, I found that my cultivation had actually increased...... And I don't have the Ji family bloodline anymore!"
"My cultivation has also increased!" At this time, Ji Qianhua, who was studying the recipe in the room, walked out and said a word.
Xu Baiyu glanced at the plainly dressed Ji Qian painting, and stopped talking. You have the inheritance of the empress, and the cultivation is imperceptible, of course it is different. But he couldn't say this, it was too demoralizing.
"Master, my cultivation has also increased!" Hai Dongqing flew down from the tree, after so many days, its punishment time had come, so his legs had also recovered.
Xu Baiyu was even more speechless. You are all doing this, and your cultivation has grown? Is Lao Tzu's eighth generation of cultivation all wrong?
However, Xu Baiyu felt that he had to say a few words at this time.
"If you're happy!"
"Master, say two more words! If you say two more words, I feel that I will be able to become holy!" Hai Dongqing said, Xu Baiyu's words last time made Hai Dongqing seem to have caught a ray of sunshine in the abyss. However, this sunlight is not enough.
"Everyone's path is different, so I can't interfere with your cultivation too much. But the path is the same. So, if you think that what kind of life is what you want, then just do it. But we must remember that when we practice, it's like staying in a mire and looking up at the sky. It's up to you how you jump out!"
"Looking up at the starry sky in the mire?" Hai Dongqing's body shook again. There seems to be some truth to this! Damn, isn't I just trapped in the mire of the Half-Step Heavenly Emperor and can't get out now?
But I still look up to the day of sanctification, star-studded.
"Thank you, master!" Hai Dongqing flapped his wings twice and said, "If you want to talk about the life you want, the pheasant I just hooked up with in the back mountain recently is a little different." Not to mention, that pheasant really made my mood ripple, and the originally imprisoned saint barrier was somewhat loosened because of this! Is this the power of love?"
"Got it! I got it! Master, thank you for the reminder, I'm going to find my little flower!"
Xu Baiyu shook his head, what does this have to do with it? It has a relationship with pheasants? It has a relationship with love?
"I'm tired of a day, I'm going to sleep!" Ji Ruyan stretched her waist. After a day's work, he was tired and wanted to lie in bed when he came back. So saying, he went back to his room.
Because of the extra Ji Ruyan, Xu Baiyu had to build two more grass houses at the gate of the courtyard. One room for the two of them.
Yes, he has one.
He couldn't forget how weird Ji Ruyan's expression was when he walked from the new house to the door and slept in the grass room on the first night.
"Qianhua wants to practice, and I sleep and snore, so sleeping here doesn't affect her. Xu Baiyu still remembers that he said a reason that he thought was quite reasonable.
There were only two people left in the courtyard, Xu Baiyu and Ji Qian.
"The moonlight tonight is very good!" Xu Baiyu had nothing to say. With a little girl, a big man always has to talk first, doesn't he?
"Yes. However, the second sister-in-law said that although the moon is bright, the moon halo is not good. There was rain. ”
"Okay. You know a lot. Xu Baiyu shook his head.
"Hehe, in fact, those sisters-in-law taught me, and they know a lot. Ji Qian said.
"Oh, it's good if you're happy!" Xu Baiyu said this for the third time tonight.
"The third sister-in-law also said ......"
"What did you say?" asked Xu Baiyu.
Ji Qianhua lowered his head, and kept rubbing the corners of his clothes with his hands, and said like a mosquito.
"Xianggong, it's getting late, it's time for us to rest!"
