"Damn, why did you recover so quickly? Obviously with such a serious injury, it stands to reason that you won't be able to get out of bed within a month. Uncle Purple looked at Hodge in surprise.

"Hehe, Uncle Zi, don't forget that I'm a cultivator, my ring has a cultivator's healing pill in it, and it's normal to be able to recover my cultivation quickly. Hodge smiled and moved out of the door, and Zi Yan hurriedly stepped forward to support Hodge.

"Okay, then we'll have a barbecue in the yard tonight, and Uncle Zi will tell you the story of our village tonight. Uncle Zi smiled and nodded, and then went to the kitchen to help Aunt Zi.

As the sun set, Hodge was supported by Zi Yan and walked into the yard, at this time the evening breeze blew, Hodge walked forward slowly, and the evening breeze blew Zi Yan's hair fragrance down Hodge's side, which made Hodge couldn't help but want to smell more, Zi Yan's hair fragrance carried the fragrance of small flowers in the forest, very fragrant.

At this time, Hodge felt a burst of beauty, such a life without fighting with the world, he also wanted, although the life span of cultivators was much higher than that of ordinary people, but cultivators had to work hard to cultivate all their lives, work hard to achieve that supreme realm, focus on one thing all their lives, lose themselves in the effort, forget their original intentions and what they wanted.

Don't worry about anything, just live your own life, spend your life happily every day, this is the life that Hodge wants, if there is a choice, he is not willing to carry so much, but unfortunately now everything is irreversible, he is like a puppet that has been controlled, as long as he is not dead, then he must work hard for cultivation, only death can be liberated, but death is not an easy thing, before dying, you have to think about your own concern after death.

It's tiring enough to live, and you can't live in peace after death, as long as you don't achieve your goal for a day, you won't be happy for a day, how much Hodge hopes that this moment is truly eternal, only now, he has become his true self again, even when he was in the Huo family, he can't compare with this.

"Hodge, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Hodge was a little distracted, Zi Yan tilted her head and asked.

"I didn't ...... It's okay!" Hodge stammered a little, he didn't explain, Zi Yan wouldn't understand all this, and Hodge didn't want her to understand, I hope she would always be as carefree as an angel, lively and cute!

The sunset is infinitely good, at that moment, in an instant!

Zi Yan helped Hodge to the yard, told Hodge to stand up, and then quickly ran to a small stool not far away and asked Hodge to do it, and then went to help Uncle Zi and them.

"Hodge, you can smell the smell of barbecue in a while, wait!" Uncle Zi smiled, holding a kitchen knife to chop wild boar.

Aunt Zi took the meat that Uncle Zi had hidden and cleaned it, put the washed meat in a basin, Zi Yan brought a pile of firewood from the corner of the yard, and took out the grill from the kitchen.

Hodge sat on the side and watched them work, he couldn't go up to help now, he could only wait to eat, Zi Yan glanced at Hodge from time to time while working, and touched Hodge's gaze several times, the two smiled and then Zi Yan continued to do the work in her hands.

It didn't take long for everything to be ready, Uncle Zi forked the chopped wild boar meat on the grill, lit a blazing bonfire, Uncle Zi's strong hands grabbed the grill and turned it over, and Aunt Zi was boiling rice porridge in the kitchen.

Hodge and Zi Yan sat on the side, waiting for the meal to start, at this time Hodge's stomach growled, he was a little embarrassed, the broth did not fill his stomach that night after waking up after ten days of eating.

"Haha, don't worry, boy, just wait a while!" Uncle Zi laughed and said, "You shouldn't have experienced the feeling of being hungry for many years." ”

Hodge nodded and said, "Yes, since the cultivation has rarely eaten, cultivators can be full by exhaling the spiritual power between heaven and earth, even if they eat, it is for enjoyment, but I didn't expect to become an ordinary person this time." ”

Uncle Zi flipped through the barbecue, looked at Hodge and said: "Boy, don't be discouraged, you still have a long way to go, sooner or later you will be able to recover your cultivation, even if you don't recover in the end, don't worry, I will marry my girl to you, you will settle down in our village from now on, eat more and grow stronger, and work together in the future, you see that you are as thin as a little girl now, how can you have the strength to work?"

"Dad!" Hearing this, Zi Yan muttered angrily, * up.

Hodge smiled wryly, a little embarrassed, after these few days of contact, Hodge still has a good impression of Zi Yan, if he marries a wife in the future, Zi Yan is indeed a good choice.

But he didn't have the heart to think about these now, he still wanted to hope that he would rebuild the Huo family, and if it was possible in the future, he would come back and take Zi Yan away.

"Look at you, you smile like a little girl, with flowers and shy moons, no wonder my Nizi likes you, it is indeed different from other young men in the village. Uncle Zi joked with a smile and smeared a layer of oil on the barbecue.

There were stars in the sky, under the starry sky, Hodge had a slightly embarrassed look into Zi Yan's eyes, Zi Yan covered her mouth and smiled, and suddenly remembered what was going on, her face turned red again, and she turned her head to stop looking at Hodge.

Outside the gate, Zi Feng looked at Hodge from the crack in the door with envy and jealousy, his mother asked him to send farm tools to Uncle Zi's family, but he accidentally saw this scene, which made his heart as complicated as five flavors of vinegar, Zi Feng clenched his fists and looked at Hodge fiercely.

"It's just an outsider, she looks like a little girl, that is, Yan'er has never seen such a boy, so it produces some freshness, and after a long time, I get bored, girls still like a strong and powerful man like me!" Zi Feng comforted himself in his heart, he took a deep breath and turned to leave, disappearing into the night.

In the courtyard, Uncle Purple tells Hodge about his youth.

"Hodge, do you know, when Uncle Purple was young, he was one of the best strong guys in the village, when he was hunting in the misty forest, and everyone couldn't do anything about a bear, Uncle Purple stepped forward and subdued the bear, maybe you think it's nothing, but for people like us who don't have cultivation to subdue a bear, it's a great thing. Uncle Purple said to Hodge.

"It's amazing!" Hodge admired, he now that he had no cultivation to experience the feeling of ordinary people, and now he could imagine the feeling of subduing a bear by one person.

"Dad, don't brag, my mother told me, at that time, you wanted to be in the limelight and rushed up stupidly, who would have thought that the big bear was not so easy to subdue, but put himself in a desperate situation, which stimulated your potential At that time, you were lucky that others shouted loudly in the distance to divert the attention of the big bear, and there was an arrow next to you, in order to save your life, you picked up the arrow and inserted it into the ear of the big bear, which killed the big bear. Zi Yan was demolishing Uncle Zi on the side, and she was also helpless about her father who loved to brag.

"You girl, hum, don't give face to your dad at all!" Uncle Zi blew his beard and glared, just stretched out his hand and was glared at by Zi Yan and put it down, and finally looked at Zi Yan dotingly, and didn't say anything more.

"That's what happened, no wonder. Hodge thought to himself, but he asked, "Uncle Zi, why don't the people in your village cultivate? Isn't it easier to hunt after cultivation?"

Hodge has always been unable to figure this out, even if the qualifications of the people in this village are poor, they can cultivate to the point of refining six or seven stars when they are old, and if a middle-aged person has the cultivation of four or five stars of refining the body, he can easily subdue the beasts in the forest, which can always reduce some casualties.

If it is said that there are no cultivation methods and conditions in the village, Hodge does not believe this, the area of the Black Mist Forest is very large, and from time to time some lost cultivators will break in, and for so many years, there must be more than one cultivator like him who has been brought to the village, and it can't be that no one has been willing to tell the people in the village about the cultivation method for so many years, after all, this is not a secret outside at all, and it can be said to be the most worthless way to repay it.

"It's not that we don't want to cultivate, there's a reason for that. Uncle Zi hesitated for a moment and said, and then Uncle Zi muttered the specific situation: "According to the old people in the village, many years ago, the people in the village were also cultivators, and then there was a big disaster in the village, and the cultivators all disappeared for some reason, leaving only those children who did not cultivate, and then those children grew up to be our ancestors, and the ancestors left a last word to warn future generations not to cultivate." ”

"For generations, we have carefully followed the last words of our ancestors, and the area of the Black Mist Forest is so large, the more you go inside, the more you will be entangled in the black mist, our village is in the deepest mountain of the Black Mist Forest, so almost no one can walk into our village, we can go out but others can't enter. ”

"Even if there are some individuals who want to cultivate, but after some people who have been rescued to the village leave, everyone will search the house where the cultivator lived, once they find the items of cultivation or who dares to cultivate in the future, they will inevitably be jointly punished by the people in the village, no matter what, the last words of the ancestors must not be violated, otherwise the village will be in a catastrophe. ”

"I see!" Hodge nodded, although he had some curiosity in his heart, but at this time, he had no cultivation, and he couldn't investigate this matter at all, and he was in someone's village, and they kindly saved him, if he investigated this matter from them, it might cause disgust among the villagers.

Aunt Zi brought the boiled rice porridge and served a bowl to everyone, and then the barbecue was also roasted, Uncle Zi tore off a piece of barbecue and handed it to Hodge, and began to eat.

"Hodge, are you drinking?" Uncle Purple took out a pot of old wine and looked at Hodge.

"Yes!" Hodge hesitated and nodded.

"Old Zi, don't let Hodge drink it, his injury is not healed yet. Aunt Purple persuaded on the side.
