Yan Rui's expression was a little complicated, he thought about it, and said, "Thank you Ye Gongzi for teaching that Tong Guan a lesson in the big competition today." ”

Ye Lei looked at the woman in front of him and said, "You and I have different positions, so you don't have to thank me." ”

He said it straight, so he was sincere.

Yan Rui's thin eyebrows moved slightly, as if she understood a little, but her voice said firmly: "Indeed, Ye Gongzi, you and I have different positions. ”

This is very interesting, it actually returned Ye Lei's words, and the implication is that you have your position, and I have mine.

Ye Lei was a little surprised, and carefully looked at the woman in front of him with soft eyebrows and eyes, but actually a strong heart.

Yan Rui picked up the cloth bag that had been holding in her hand with both hands, put it in front of Ye Lei, and said, "This is a dried fruit that is a specialty of my hometown, and it can't be bought in Dream City." ”

Hearing that it was food, Ye Lei's eyes were slightly bright, and he thanked him and took it in his hand.

Seeing Ye Lei accept it so happily, Yan Rui secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yan Rui was born in a remote village far outside Dream City, most of the villages are poor farmers, she is the eldest in the family, with a younger brother and a younger sister, and her parents all rely on the family's acres of fertile land to make a living.

She has been very sensible since she was a child, always helping her parents work in the fields, and every time she works in the fields, the eldest son of the landlord at the entrance of the village always stares at her secretly.

All this is in Yan Rui's eyes, sensible she knows that maybe in a few years, the landlord's family will let the princess take some money to the family to propose, and she will probably become the daughter-in-law of the landlord's family naturally, and then live a life that is envied by many people in the village, although she doesn't like the landlord's son who is full of acne, but she really needs that money, so that the family can survive those bad harvest years, and the younger brothers and sisters may have the opportunity to change their lives.

As for himself, he will probably give birth to a few children for the landlord's son, and then slowly become those women who like to chew their tongues at the entrance of the village.

This kind of life seems to have been established for a long time, until one day, it was rewritten by an old Taoist priest from the city, she remembered that the Taoist priest was very powerful, the most fierce big black dog in the village, just by the Taoist priest looked at it, then squatted in the corner, shivering.

The advent of Lao Dao alarmed the villagers of the whole village, and even many county officials came, which was probably the biggest pomp she had ever seen in her life.

Those officials are equipped with shining swords, they ride tall horses, stronger than the strongest old cows in the village, the village officials who are usually arrogant and domineering, when they see those county officials, they are all bowed and smiling, just like the most honest farmers in the village, and those officials are full of disdain, but after seeing the old Tao, the smiles on the faces of the officials are more exaggerated than those village officials, and their bodies are directly bowed to the ground, and everyone kneels in front of the old Tao and shouts loudly.

It's just that Yan Rui felt that the old man had been looking at herself, under the gaze of the whole village, the old man walked to her side and gently touched her head, the young she subconsciously wanted to dodge, but found that the smile on her parents' faces was even brighter than the silver horn she picked up in the town a year ago, and then she found that everyone was looking at herself, those officials who rode high-headed horses, looked at her with kind eyes like Uncle Zhang at the head of the village.

Lao Dao said that she had Huigen, and then left her a book, telling her that the day she understood all the contents of the book, let her go to a place called Dream City, where there were several academies.

After that day, Yan Rui felt that everything had changed, the eldest son of the landlord's family no longer dared to look at her secretly, the eyes of the people in the village who looked at her were not only envious, but more awe, the usual coarse tea and light rice were no longer gone, and the younger brothers and sisters did not have to wait until the New Year to have new clothes to wear, and the officials and men in the county would ride a high-headed horse every once in a while, and bring a cart of gifts behind them, far more than the dowry of the landlord's family that Yan Rui had imagined.

Slowly she understood that all this was due to that old Taoist, and she also knew that in addition to mortals, there were also cultivators in the world, and most people called them immortals, and it turned out that she was also an immortal.

She knew that her fate had finally changed, and as the years passed, she learned all the contents of the book according to Lao Dao's words, even if she didn't go to the city in Lao Dao's mouth, it didn't matter, because she had become a god in the village, but she still came.

Once that sensible little girl in the village, she naively thought that the distance from the village to the county was this world, and the county official was the world of this world, and since her fate had changed, she wanted to see what the world was really like.

So she went to Dream City and came to Mochizuki Academy, and she found that there were so many cultivators in this world, and compared to them, she was still an ordinary girl in the mountain village who had never seen the world, but after all, it was still a little different.

Until the big competition she met Tong Guan, although she was very calm at the time, but she was really scared, she couldn't understand, obviously a child younger than herself, but as terrible as a demon, Tong Guan's threat made her understand, it turned out that she was still the powerless girl in the village, this time there will be an old way from the sky?

Then Ye Lei appeared and defeated the demon in the eyes of thousands of people, and that figure seemed to remind her of the old way that changed her fate.

Maybe it's a trivial matter for Lao Dao or Ye Lei, but for her, it has a different meaning.

......

......

She hasn't said these words to anyone, and of course she won't say them to Ye Lei, maybe no one will ever know, not because she is embarrassed to show her past, but because those are really not important anymore.

The thoughts passed in a flash, and at this moment Yan Rui's heart gradually calmed down, and she gently saluted Ye Lei, and said seriously: "My name is Yan Rui, and I am very happy to meet you." ”

Ye Lei looked at the calm and serious woman in front of him, and thought that after he arrived in this world, he really met a lot of interesting people, and it was really a great thing to be alive.

He lifted the heavy dried fruit in his hand, looked at the gentle woman in front of him, returned the salute seriously, and said, "My name is Ye Lei, and I am very happy to meet you." ”

After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled, neither of them knew what they were laughing at, but they suddenly felt happy at the moment and happy for themselves, so they laughed.

......

......

At night, Ye Lei sat in his small courtyard, although he did not have the delicacy and gorgeousness of Tang Yinuo's courtyard, but he was also very comfortable, listening to the rhythmic cicada chirping from nowhere, with a plate of all kinds of dried fruits in his hand, he took one and put it in his mouth, the faint sweetness and sourness instantly made his mouth water, Ye Lei nodded lightly, showing a satisfied look, sweet but not greasy, it was really good.

There was the book that Fang Xiujie sent when he was admitted to the hospital.

But Ye Lei never opened it once, because in the past sixteen years, the master let him read many books, and some of those books were obscure as if they did not belong to the world, but the master could answer them in the simplest way.

If you want to see farther than others, that's because standing on the shoulders of giants, how can the shoulders of the master be compared to those of giants.

Maybe it's because of nostalgia, confusion, and boredom, Ye Lei doesn't know why.

He picked up the ordinary book and turned the first page by the moonlight.
