At the foot of the Dagu Snow Mountain, Tulin Village.

In the middle of a lush cassava forest in the corner of the village, the bearded man who returned to Tulin Village found the village chief.

"Big brother, I went out this time and picked up a fat sheep, or we will go to Huangdu City next time to sell it."

The village chief was a strong man a little stronger than him, but his hair was dyed white, and he seemed to be much older than him.

"Oh! It was such a coincidence that a lost fat sheep also happened to enter our village, so let's take it with us next time! ”

"Haha...... big brother, why are they all so stupid when you say that the fat sheep now? Lost and lost to us, they deserve it! ”

"You're lucky, you went out for a casual walk, and you picked up one, and you don't even have to pay much for your tongue."

The village chief continued to speak and asked, "Where is your sheep now?" ”

Dahan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's really a very fat sheep, and it's ugly, and it's sick, it's troublesome enough." I threw it to Topaz's family and let his wife take care of it. ”

The village chief of Tulin Village knew his thoughts and said with a smile: "Where are the good-looking sheep so easy to meet." I've been in it for several years, and I haven't had the good fortune to meet it, and you kid still wants to meet you in the first year. It's already good to meet a mother. ”

Dahan sighed and said, "It's really unlucky, why is that kid so lucky in Yuexinghan, Wocao!" ”

The village chief hurriedly covered his mouth, his eyes tightened, and motioned for him to stop talking.

Dahan was still a little inexplicable at first, but he understood it in an instant and nodded.

Just after a while, the strong village chief himself sighed deeply and agreed: "Who said it wasn't! ”

"Big brother, did you meet a ram or a ewe?"

The village chief hung his head and replied, "Male! ”

"It's boring."

Both of them were bored, shook their heads at each other, and said nothing more.

Shao leaned, and the two left the cassava forest one after another, and went about their own business separately.

In Tulin Village, everyone has to work.

Playing around can only be the prerogative of a child.

In the village, there will be no one who likes to raise a lost but idle stranger for nothing.

The well water in the village is only for everyone to drink.

For other purposes, the water needed needs to be fetched farther away.

Yun Xiaotian was already arranged to carry water at this time, and he needed to carry it from the small river at the foot of the mountain to the village on higher ground, and then come to water the cassava forest here.

This red-rooted cassava tree is a rare species with a slight golden green at the tip of the leaves, and fiery red cassava grows on each branch.

This special cassava is a unique specialty in this area of Dagu Snow Mountain, and it is also a tribute that the village name here needs to pay upwards on a regular basis.

Normally, they don't dare to eat it themselves, and only after paying the tribute of the year can each family get a little bit.

At this time, Yun Xiaotian was watering the cassava tree next to him, and he was a little distracted thinking about what the purpose of this test was in the Xingfu Courtyard.

And then, what should he do.

It seems to be just an ordinary village, with only twenty or thirty families in total.

Yun Xiaotian has been here for several days, and he hasn't gotten much useful information.

In his observations, it seems that only this cassava forest is somewhat special and seems to be very important to the villagers here.

He inquired that every year they needed to send the harvested cassava to Huangdu City, and that several nearby villages, although far apart, were similar.

Yun Xiaotian had already agreed with the village chief that he would go to Huangdu City with them next time, hoping to find useful clues there and figure out what medicine was being sold in the gourd of the Xingfu Courtyard.

And now, he can only stay here, waiting for the next time he will enter the city.

"Hey, new kid!"

"Come here"

A big man with a scruffy beard hooked his hand and shouted loudly to Yun Xiaotian.

"Big brother, what's the matter?"

The big man pointed to a bloated and obese woman and said, "She will leave it to you, and she will do whatever you do." In our village, we don't raise idlers. ”

Yun Xiaotian fixed his eyes, and couldn't help but marvel in his heart, there was such an ugly woman in the world, not to mention her bloated figure, her face was also pitted, and she was covered with a strange black spot of different sizes.

Even Yun Xiaotian usually doesn't care much about other people's looks, and when she sees her, she can't help but say, it's so ugly!

After the big man finished speaking, he left, without any stop, and without any interest in taking care of the two fat sheep.

Fat sheep are for sale, and he doesn't want to have too much to do with them.

If he accidentally shows his horse's feet and they find out, then the matter will be a little troublesome.

Yun Xiaotian looked at the ugly-looking woman, but quickly got used to it.

Anyway, after he leaves here, he shouldn't have much to do with the other party.

Yun Xiaotian looked at the woman who seemed to be a little confused, and said loudly, "I'll go fetch water." You're right here to water. ”

Yun Xiaotian didn't say much nonsense, picked up the empty bucket next to him, and prepared to go back to the river to fetch water.

The woman ignored him and squatted on the ground by herself.

She scooped a scoop of water from a bucket full of water and looked at herself reflected in the water.

She said how it seemed that everyone didn't pay much attention to her, it turned out that now, she has become so ugly, even she herself is about to shed tears, and she almost cried by herself ugly.

Yun Xiaotian walked halfway, but the woman still ignored him, so he had to say helplessly: "You take a rest first, wait for me to come back, and then water the trees here together." ”

The woman still ignored him.

Perhaps, in fact, she didn't have the heart to listen to what he was talking about now, and she was still alone immersed in the reflection of her ugly appearance in the water.

Yun Xiaotian shook his head helplessly, and left the cassava forest with buckets in both hands. He walked through the village, smiling from time to time, greeting the villagers who passed by him.

The village is not big, but it is quite far from the small river that flows down the high mountain, and I don't know why the village was built here.

The small river flows down from the Dagu Snow Mountain, the river water is clear, and it is the common spring of life for all the oases and villages in the vicinity.

When Yun Xiaotian came here, there were already many villagers on both sides of the river fetching water.

Further downstream, there are flocks of sheep and buffalo, with their forelimbs lowered and their heads bowed, drinking from the riverbank.

The wooden bucket in his hand was pressed into the water by Yun Xiaotian, and after a few gurgling sounds, the bucket was filled with clear river water.

When Daoyun Xiaotian returned to the cassava forest in the village, the ugly-looking woman seemed to have recognized the reality and honestly watered the cassava tree with a water scoop.

Yun Xiaotian put down the wooden bucket full of water, lifted the empty bucket next to him, and continued to walk out alone.

And the woman didn't raise her head from beginning to end, and she didn't have any intention of taking care of Yun Xiaotian.

It's just that Yun Xiaotian is actually too lazy to talk about himself.

Until the entire cassava grove was watered, they never said a word to each other.

Yun Xiaotian worked hard all morning, in exchange for two white flour baked cakes in his hand, and ate them with spring water.

In the village, who has so much surplus food, it seems that no one will be kind enough to invite them to eat at home.

These two white-flour baked cakes are even the wages of the people employed in the village, and they are their food for a whole day.

When Yun Xiaotian received these two baked cakes from the village chief's house, he cheekily asked for a little hot sauce.

He rubbed the spicy sauce on the white flour baked cake in his hand, and ate the spring water from the well, and he ate it with relish.

I just feel a little less, carrying water is a physical job, and the consumption at the end of the day is naturally a lot.

Wait until he's done eating.

Yun Xiaotian accidentally saw the white-flour baked cake in the hand of the ugly girl next to him, and subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

"Don't you really want hot sauce? This pancake doesn't have much flavor, and it will be a lot better if you rub it with spicy sauce. ”

Seeing that the woman hadn't moved much, Yun Xiaotian thought that it might be that this baked cake had no taste.

Similarly, she still ignored Yun Xiaotian.

After a while.

The ugly girl suddenly raised her head, looked at Yun Xiaotian, and asked, "Am I ugly?" ”

Yun Xiaotian was a little entangled when he heard this, but he was embarrassed to lie to her, but he felt that if he told the truth, it would hurt a little.

I choked up for a moment and stayed where I was.

"It's alright......! It's not ugly. It's just not pretty. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that the woman's eyes were moist and shining. Yun Xiaotian understood that he was talking too much, why did he have to add the following sentence.

"I'm sorry, I'm wrong, you're actually good-looking."

Yun Xiaotian rarely lied against his will, wanting to comfort the woman.

It's a pity that his tricks to deceive people are really clumsy.

"You're a liar!"

The ugly girl, with a verdict, the tears in her eyes fell in response, but fortunately she didn't cry.

Yun Xiaotian looked bitter, and thought helplessly, you obviously know it, and you still ask me about dry hair?

It's just a few tears, and even in Yun Xiaotian's opinion, she even pretended to squeeze it out, and the ugly girl seemed to have figured out something.

Immediately afterwards, she didn't look at Yun Xiaotian, and took the hot sauce that Yun Xiaotian put on the ground without asking for it, and smeared it on the white flour baked cake that Yun Xiaotian received on her behalf.

With her big lips swollen like sausages, she bit the white flour cake fiercely.

In Yun Xiaotian's opinion, she was as if she wanted to bite the meat on Yun Xiaotian's body one by one, without mercy.

The ugly girl thought to herself at this time, sure enough, ......, men are some ungrateful things, they like the new and hate the old, and they change their minds in minutes. Obviously, she secretly kissed people before, but now she pretends not to know them, and she dares to say that she is not good-looking.

If she says that she is not good-looking, then she will admit it, but in the end, she lied flamboyantly, and she was not honest at all.

Sitting on the small wooden bench, how did Yun Xiaotian know what kind of turbulent waves were stirring up in the heart of the ugly girl in front of him, and the more she looked at him, the more unpleasant it was.

Although he didn't expect the ugly girl next to him to answer him, Yun Xiaotian still introduced himself and said, "My name is Yun Xiaotian, the cloud of white clouds, the smile of the world, the sky of the blue sky." ”

The ugly girl in front of her really didn't look up at him, swallowed a mouthful of baked cakes stained with hot sauce with a big mouth, and said lightly: "Qingxin." ”

Yun Xiaotian didn't know the name of her answer, but he didn't care.

He also knew that even if he asked, the ugly girl with a strange temperament in front of him might not pay attention to him, so he simply didn't ask anything.

"After eating, I prune the branches; You pick up the branches, pile them together, and carry them to the village chief's house later. ”

Although, the ugly girl did not respond to him, Yun Xiaotian also understood that she already knew.

Yun Xiaotian didn't want to be bored, so he didn't pay attention to her anymore.

He broke a branch and hid in the distance.

Alone, he secretly hid on the side alone, and practiced the swordsmanship that the Western Xia Dream gave him in the end.
