Chapter 12: Comfort
Surrounded by mountains, there is a secluded and ancient village.
Because there are often birds next to the village that make the sound of "coo, coo", so the village is called Coo Coo Village.
The surrounding green hills are verdant, and the trees are verdant.
The environment in the village is quiet and beautiful.
Smoke was rising from the chimney on the roof of the village, and it was noon.
There is a shadow in the village, it is Li Mengli.
She was helping her mother cook, and the smell of the food wafted through the air, making it salivating when she smelled it.
Then a man came out of the house, wiped down the stone table outside the house, and laid the bowls.
This man's name is Li Mengchun, he is Li Mengli's elder brother, he is thirteen years old this year, but his cultivation talent is better than Li Mengli's.
"Brother Meng Chun!" Suddenly, an energetic voice came from outside the courtyard.
Li Mengchun followed the sound and found a handsome and delicate boy, about eight or nine years old, beckoning to him, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
Why did Li Mengchun make such a small move? This can be traced back to a small incident two years ago.
The first time Yun Yuan met Li Mengchun and Li Mengli brother and sister was when Yun Yuan was collecting medicine in the mountains two years ago, because they had similar words, so they became good friends.
And at that time, eleven-year-old Li Mengchun was already the ninth level of the Xuanmai Realm.
But after getting along with Yun Yuan for a while, he found that this young man who was about the same age as his sister was not only handsome, but also stronger than himself.
Since then, Li Mengchun's arrogance, which has been called the hope of the future of the village since childhood, is like a piece of ice that meets the sun's exposure and slowly disappears, and even the surprise has not eased for several days.
So he hid at home every day and practiced frantically, and sometimes he would go to the nearby mountains to pick herbs, hoping to find a few first-grade or second-grade spiritual grasses.
Yun Yuan quickly ran in from the main entrance, and said with an embarrassed face, "Brother Meng Chun, have you had lunch?"
"Not yet. Li Mengchun adjusted his expression and smiled at Yun Yuan.
Although Li Mengchun was hit hard by Yun Yuan, he was gentle and friendly by nature, so he was not the kind of person who would be jealous and treat others differently.
Li Mengli, who heard Yun Yuan's voice, hurriedly walked out of the kitchen, and a voice like a silver bell sounded: "Brother Yun Yuan, you are here." โ
After Yun Yuan saw Li Mengli, he suddenly remembered what Yan Ge said in the morning, his little face turned red, and he didn't dare to look at Li Mengli's face, so he glanced to both sides and said, "Uh... Well. โ
Li Mengli looked puzzled, and thought to himself: "Brother Yunyuan is so strange today. โ
Then, she walked up to Yun Yuan's side, and her two smart eyes looked at Yun Yuan's face.
"Ah, are you sick? Is it because you were injured yesterday?" Li Mengli said in surprise.
Yun Yuan looked embarrassed, laughed dryly, pulled Li Meng aside and whispered, "I troubled you last night, such as... If you don't mind, I'll make a promise. โ
Yun Yuan is nine years old this year, so he naturally understands some things about men and women.
After hearing this, Li Mengli's big eyes blinked, then his face turned red, and he shouted at Yun Yuan: "Brother Yun Yuan, what are you talking about, ignore you, hum." Then he ran back into the house.
Yun Yuan looked puzzled and froze in place.
Li Mengchun, who was on the side, saw this scene, and he was also puzzled, walked to Yun Yuan's side and said, "What happened?"
Yun Yuan said innocently, "I don't know." โ
At this time, Li Mengli's mother walked out and said kindly: "It's Xiao Yuan who is here, I'll just say why is Meng Li's girl so excited." โ
Yun Yuan laughed embarrassedly twice and said, "Hello aunt!"
Immediately after that, Li Mengli's mother asked again, "Have you eaten?" Do you want to stay and eat together?"
Yun Yuan scratched the back of his head, and when he didn't know how to answer, his stomach made a loud noise, and Li Mengchun laughed.
So Yun Yuan said embarrassedly: "Hehe, our old man didn't cook today, so I'll stay and eat." โ
Li Mengli's mother also laughed.
At this time, Li Mengli, who was hiding behind the door, listened to Yun Yuan's answer, and also pursed his lips and smiled.
"Then you play first, and I'll call you when the meal starts. After Li Mengli's mother finished speaking, she walked towards the kitchen in the house.
Yun Yuan and Li Mengchun replied in unison, and then the two talked about picking silver fire leaves yesterday.
After hearing that Yun Yuan had killed a big wolf beast in the middle of the Origin Realm, Li Mengchun's face was full of shock, and his mouth grew wide.
And the more Yun Yuan spoke, the more excited he became, and his fingers kept gesturing.
Just as the two were squandering and laughing, an old man on crutches appeared at the gate of the courtyard, coughed dryly, and walked in.
Yun Yuan and Li Mengchun turned their heads to look at each other, and said at the same time, "Hello, village chief and grandfather." โ
The gray-haired but kind-looking old man was the head of Gugu Village, but his eyesight was not very good.
The village chief slowly walked up to the two and looked at them.
"Obuchi is here. The village chief said kindly.
Yun Yuan and Li Mengchun brother and sister often came to the village to play after they met, because of Yun Yuan's interesting personality and informal demeanor, almost everyone in the village knew him and was quite kind to him.
"Hehe, it's time to eat. Yun Yuan replied.
The village chief smiled, then turned to Li Mengchun and said earnestly: "This year's city competition is coming, and we in Gugu Village are discussing and preparing to send you alone." โ
City competition, that is, the competition held in the town. Gugu Village belonged to the next level of Ningcheng's village, so it was qualified to send three teenagers under the age of fourteen to participate in the competition, and the top ones would be able to obtain rich cultivation resources.
However, due to the remoteness of the area, the cultivation resources of Gugu Village are scarce, and only Li Mengchun is the one with better talent among the younger generation and has reached the origin realm, so Gugu Village decided to send only Li Mengchun alone this time.
When Li Mengchun heard this, his face gradually became solemn, and he said, "I know." โ
He had followed his father to a town once, where the children of large families had abundant cultivation resources, even if their cultivation talent was not high, and most of them had reached the early stage of the Origin Realm at the age of fourteen.
Although he was also in the early stage of the Origin Realm, when Li Mengchun was not necessarily sure that he would be able to defeat those pampered children in the city.
Yun Yuan, who heard this on the side, asked curiously, "Chengbi, what is that?"
The village chief smiled and told him about Chengbi.
Yun Yuan nodded after hearing this, and said, "Can you let me participate too?"
Hearing this, the village was a little surprised, and asked, "Most of the people who participated in the competition were young heroes who had reached the Origin Realm, what are you going to do?"
Li Mengchun smiled dryly and explained, "Although Yun Yuan's age is only nine years old, his current realm is already much higher than mine. โ
The village chief's eyes suddenly widened, obviously extremely shocked.
Earlier, he heard Li Mengli say that Yunyuan had a master, and the two lived together in the middle of the mountain next to the village.
At that time, he thought that some cultivator who had not entered the stream had brought him to this mountain to cultivate, but he didn't expect Yun Yuan to be so good.
The village chief muttered to himself, "Sin, sin." โ
Then he smiled at Yun Yuan and said, "Since you want to participate, then our village will send one more place, you remember to know your master." โ
After saying that, he walked away slowly on crutches.
In fact, Yun Yuan didn't really want to participate in the city competition, but after leaving Yunding City, he stayed in this deep mountain and old forest every day, and his life was very boring.
Now that he has the opportunity to go to the town to play, Yun Yuan naturally doesn't want to let it go.
After Li Mengchun saw that the village chief agreed, he patted Yun Yuan's shoulder happily and said, "If you go this time, it will definitely make our Gugu Village famous, haha." His tone was affirmative.
Yun Yuan waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "No, Brother Meng Chun, you think too highly of me." โ
"Hehe, Brother Yunyuan, I've never seen you so modest. Li Mengli didn't know when he appeared behind the two of them, and said with a smile.
Yun Yuan laughed dryly.
Then Li Mengli's mother walked out, brought a dish in each hand, and said, "Children, it's time to eat, help serve the food." โ
Yun Yuan and Li Mengchun looked at each other for a moment, then walked to the kitchen together and brought out the food.
A variety of delicacies fill the table, and the fragrance is intense.
Yun Yuan and the others ate with a smile and a smile.
