Chu Jingyan was half-understood: "The reason why others only mention you and don't mention others is because they have no fixed residence and are difficult to find?" ”

"Hmm."

"Let me tell you this, this Taoist priest, eighty percent of them are charlatans, and they talk about subduing demons and eliminating demons all day long, especially if they dare to leave their names and addresses? As for me, in the eyes of the world, I am the lowest, the kind that can only recite scriptures to ward off disasters, and I can't make a lot of money, but I don't need to hide like them. ”

As he spoke, the old man cracked an egg into the pot, mixed it with chopped leeks and ground peppers, and simply made a scrambled egg with leeks.

Chu Jiayin was stunned when she heard this, but she was shocked by one thing: "It seems that we can't find anyone." ”

"Not necessarily." Chu Jingyan said.

"Second brother, do you have a way?" Chu Jiayin looked at him expectantly.

Chu Jingyan shook his head: "Not for the time being." In fact, we are afraid that we have overlooked one thing when we came today. ”

"What?"

"Although Old Madam Chu's people didn't bother to find this Taoist priest, they used all the simple ways they could go." Chu Jingyan said.

Chu Jiayin didn't quite understand what he meant, and frowned.

"Looking for this old gentleman, maybe I've already looked for it." Chu Jingyan said again.

When the old man heard this, he smiled and said, "Some time ago, someone did look for the old man. I'm also curious, the people who came to me in the past either bought coffins and paper, or asked me to come to the door to recite the scriptures. In the past two days, there have been idlers who have only come to me to ask questions. ”

"You're leaving them here to eat, huh?" Chu Jiayin asked.

From the city to this side, even if you come here early in the morning, it will take you more than half a day. The little servants sent by the Chu Mansion have no ability to ride horses, I am afraid they all came on foot, and their situation is similar to that of Chu Jiayin and them.

Coupled with the time to ask passers-by, it is estimated that it will be dark when I find the old man. Maybe the old man didn't show up on time that day?

Chu Jiayin asked this because she felt that if she couldn't go back here, she could report to the Chu family and let someone pick her up. This place is very difficult to find, and if you don't walk it yourself, I'm afraid you won't remember the way.

"Old man, am I like someone who casually leaves someone down to eat? The money for firewood, rice, oil, and salt for a person's meal, it is estimated that the old man has to go to the city three or four times to earn it back. Some time ago, four or five people came to me and saw that they had a lot of food, and they raised them for two meals, and I had to go hungry for ten days and a half months. ”

"Just blow it, if you don't eat for ten days and a half, you will already become a dead man. When the time comes, those coffins of yours will come in handy. Chu Jiayin smiled at him triumphantly and said, along the way, there was no less because the old man was sulking, and even the second brother was turned outward by the old man's elbows, and she was finally able to laugh at the old man once, so naturally she couldn't let it go.

The old man didn't refute her: "Yes." ”

"Then why did you keep me and my brother down for dinner?" Chu Jiayin is planning to break the casserole and ask to the end.

In fact, this old man is not annoying, at least he can speak freely when chatting, and say whatever he wants, unlike Chu Yun and others, he has to think about it and weigh it.

The old man laid another fish and fried it in oil.

"You gave me ten taels of silver at once, and I don't have to worry about firewood, rice, oil, and salt this year, thank you to my parents, can't you?" The old man said.

"Ten taels of silver can eat for a year?" Chu Jiayin was very curious, she really didn't know how much food she could buy with these ten taels of silver. But she knew that the dress she was wearing now was ten taels of silver shorter, and she couldn't even sew a sleeve.

"Sure enough, it's the eldest lady." The old man smiled and brought the fried dishes to the table by the way.

Chu Jiayin glanced at the dishes on the wooden table, their appearance was not good, the color was insufficient, and the fragrance was light, and they didn't know what it tasted like in their mouths.

The old man brought up another plate of fried wild vegetables.

"Ahh It's grass, right? Chu Jiayin shouted, how can this be reasonable, entertaining guests and letting guests eat grass?

"Wild vegetables, do you understand wild vegetables? If you take a closer look, does this look better than those things like green vegetables? Don't look down on it. The old man argued unconvinced.

Chu Jiayin still refused to give praise to this wild vegetable.

Chu Jingyan moved his chopsticks, took a bite of wild vegetables, and after tasting them, he said with a smile: "It's delicious." ”

"Look." The old man smiled, "Just you stinky girl." If the family declines one day, I'm afraid I won't even be able to eat wild vegetables. This is a wild vegetable with oil, water and salt. ”

These words pierced Chu Jiayin's nerves for no reason and made her lose her mind for a moment. She glanced up at the old man, and always felt that there was some huge secret hidden in his eyes that he could not open.

Taoist priest, subduing demons and eliminating demons?

Demons and demons should need legendary spells, will this old man know what spells to see whether people are humans or ghosts?

This time Chu Jiayin came with him, will he be forced to leave his body and never be able to live forever?

Thinking of this, Chu Jiayin broke out in a little cold sweat on his forehead, and his heart trembled.

"You are talking nonsense, my family will not fall!" Chu Jiayin shifted his thoughts and replied.

In addition to being afraid that his rebirth would be discovered, Chu Jiayin was also afraid that the Chu family would fall like in his previous life. That kind of thing, she didn't want to experience it a second time! In this life, as long as those who potentially endanger the Chu family are driven away, and then the second brother is the backer, it will definitely be different.

"No, no." The old man always spoke with a cheerful tone, and it was okay to say other things, but when it came to this kind of sentimental topic, he always felt that he was a little hateful.

Chu Jiayin also took a bite of wild vegetables to eat, and unexpectedly, his face changed from looking at death to brightening his eyes. Compared with fried cabbage and other tired vegetarian dishes, this wild vegetable has a different taste.

"Are you alright?" The old man asked.

"Also...... Okay. Chu Jiayin didn't want this old man to be proud.

At this time, the old man brought the fish in the pot again and beckoned, "You can eat it." It's good to eat for a while, eat the vegetables first, and then drink a little wine. ”

"Hey, do we seem to be able to drink?" Chu Jiayin asked.

"Of course you can't drink it, what about your brother? At first glance, it's fifteen, sixteen, or seven, isn't it a bit of a humm-hmm-uh that can't drink. ”

Chu Jiayin: "What kind of mess?" ”

The old man pushed the fish in front of Chu Jiayin and said, "It's always good for you to eat more food, eat more." ”

"Okay, I'll eat you poor!"

"Then you have to hold the rice bowl and the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar to gnaw it, this fish and vegetables are all wild and don't cost money."

Chu Jiayin couldn't fight him, and he was quiet.

As long as she doesn't speak, no one can talk to her!

The old man chatted with Chu Jingyan for a long time, and when Chu Jiayin went to sleep, the two outside were still chatting. Chu Jiayin almost suspected that after this trip, the second brother would not go with her.

Forget it, I'm too sleepy, let's go to bed first.

Outside.

"I have seen these moves you have learned in Qianguo. Back then, there was a junior who had some conflicts with me, and he used your moves. If you say that the person who taught you kung fu is a middle-aged man, he is quite like him. The old man said.

"Qianguo?" Chu Jingyan only because his biological parents were outside the Guan, but he didn't know which country they were in outside the Guan, and today was the first time he heard the word Qianguo and had something to do with his life experience.

"Senior, where did the person who competed with you come from?" Chu Jiayin was eager to know the truth, although he knew that one day the man in black or his accomplices would come and tell him.

The old man was silent for a moment, and replied: "The status should not be low, I still have a rich person in my clothes, and there are guards around me...... Maybe it's from the minister's family of the Qianguo, and it's very likely to be the son of the Wuchen family. ”

The son of the Wuchen family? If the man in black is the son of Wuchen, then what is the origin of Chu Jingyan, who is his master's biological mother?

Perhaps, Chu Jingyan guessed wrong, how could it be so coincidental, that person is the man in black? And the person who told him the news was still a poor and destitute recluse Taoist.

"Do you have a relationship with that person?" The old man asked.

Two people who don't have the slightest connection will never ask about the other. If it is said that a young man is curious, Chu Jingyan is obviously not the kind of teenager who can't hold his breath and wants to know everything.

"I don't know, just speculation. The things I want to know are so complicated that I don't think I can even find a splash for a while. "Wait, wait a little longer, maybe it will be clear.

But he had no way to believe a man in black who appeared in the sky, and who knew if what the man in black told him in the end would be another bigger lie. Maybe he should ask the uncle of the Chu family, that is, his adoptive father, but now more than ten years have passed, and the Chu family has not looked forward to the return of the head of the big house.

"Young people don't think too much, if something is not clear, then don't think about it. Secrets are always secrets, and not necessarily a good thing. "The old man seems to be a fool.

"Well, thank you seniors for waking up." Chu Jiayin felt that what this old gentleman said was extremely true.

If it really can't be broken, it's better to put it down and be Chu Jingyan cleanly, so what's the matter if you have no father or mother? Isn't it a good thing to have no family and friends, and when others want to threaten him, he can't even find a hostage.

"Senior, do you have medicine here, I'm afraid my sister has a lot of injuries today."

"Yes."

The old man entered a room, which seemed to be his bedroom, and the room where Chu Jiayin lived was in the innermost.

Soon, the old man came out with a few bottles of wound medicine.

"Thank you."

Chu Jingyan took the medicine and went to find Chu Jiayin.

Chu Jiayin is young, and the two get along on weekdays without too many scruples. If you don't knock on the door or anything, it has already become a contradiction that can quarrel.

Chu Jiayin, who was asleep, had nightmares again.

This is the feeling of not being afraid of ghosts knocking on the door if she doesn't do bad things, she hides bad things, and she is afraid.

The rebirth was not something she wanted, it wasn't something she wanted, it wasn't something she wanted, and it wasn't something she did to steal it. But before this subconscious consciousness of thinking that he was half-human and half-ghost dissipated, Chu Jiayin would be restless as long as he encountered something related to ghosts.

She always felt that being born again was against the sky.
