"The Young Pavilion Master is right!" Zhou Su nodded, he heard that Qing Ling's tone seemed to be similar to his own, so he began to comfort Xiang Ling, "This place is very weird, this old woman is even more weird, and the few doubts that the young pavilion master said have not been confirmed, so I think we should not be too reckless." ”

"However, although there are many doubts about things that have not been confirmed, we must also answer them, and we can't doubt everything just because there is one thing." Xiang Ling didn't know why, he obviously felt that what Zhou Su said made sense, and the old woman was indeed a little strange, but he didn't seem to want to agree with them.

"The current situation, we still need to be careful in everything, outside the Aris Imperial Capital, for us, it is a completely strange world, we don't know who there will be here, what things, let's go directly to Wulongtan." Qing Ling made a decision.

"However, my stomach is ----" Xiang Ling saw that several people were still opposed, her face was slightly pale, and her eyes never left the bowl of white porridge in her hand.

The heat of the white porridge was almost gone, and an uneasy mood gradually sprouted in Xiang Ling's heart.

"Or else!" Yi saw Xiang Ling's dedication to the bowl of white porridge, and stepped forward and said, "The young pavilion master and the Zhou hall master are right, this village is very strange, and the old woman is also very strange, but Ling'er is also right, we can't doubt the kindness of others just because there are questions that have not been answered." Besides, I think Ling'er is really hungry, if she doesn't fill her stomach properly, it may also slow down our process, so we might as well divide the soldiers into two ways, one to the old woman's house, all the way to the foot of the mountain to set up camp, we limit a time, if no abnormality is found after an hour, then the group of people who went to the old woman's house to help bring some food to the foot of the mountain, if an hour has passed, the people who went to the old woman's house have not returned, then the rest of us can also go to check the situation in time. After all, this is not the capital of the Aris Emperor, and there should be a few people whose cultivation ability can be higher than those of us, even if there is danger, we should have a way to save us in time. ”

"This is a good idea!" Du Kang heard Yi's words and nodded frequently. Compared with the possible danger and Xiang Ling's yearning for food, Du Kang is more willing to fulfill Xiang Ling's wish. "Let's do this, Ling'er, you're hungry, you go to the old woman's house, young pavilion master, why don't you go with Ling'er?" Du Kang's gaze was directed at Qingling.

Relatively speaking, Qing Ling's cultivation ability is relatively high, and with him by his side, Xiang Ling's danger should be a little smaller.

"I'll go with you, too." Yi had been standing by and listening to them quietly, and at this moment, seeing that Du Kang had begun to arrange candidates, he immediately stepped forward and volunteered.

"Why are you going? Didn't you say there was something wrong with that old woman! Xiang Ling pouted and refused to escape.

Yi smiled, not angry, "I'm just right to go, don't I suspect the old woman?" Then the old woman will be a good woman, and you will be able to prove me wrong! ”

Yi's words made everyone slightly stunned.

Yi has always spoken coldly and briefly, but now there is a hint of ridicule hidden in his words, which can't help but make everyone a little stunned.

"You, you can tell jokes?" Xiang Ling also heard the different meaning in Yi's words.

"I'm not telling jokes, I'm telling the truth." Yi's tone was still faint, and his gaze looked at Xiang Ling quietly, without a trace of dodging.

"Okay, then you can go with us!" Xiang Ling saw Yiyi's sincere look and was quite complacent.

Yi's joining seemed to be different from Zhou Su's original idea, he originally planned to let Du Kang go with Xiang Ling, but at this moment, seeing Yi suddenly stood up, he couldn't object, so he acquiesced in such an arrangement.

Of course, Du Kang did not like this arrangement very much. Because he wanted to stay by Xiang Ling's side, in case something happened, he could protect her as soon as possible. It's just that now Yi's initiative to propose, Xiang Ling agreed so readily, and Zhou Su also acquiesced, although Du Kang was unhappy in his heart, but he could only give up.

A few people divided the work, so they went their own way, and went to two different roads, and when they parted, Zhou Su stuffed a bag of things into Qingling's hand.

Xiang Ling, Qing Ling and Yi followed the old woman's way back, and soon came to the old woman's house.

The old woman was standing at the door on crutches waiting for them, with a warm smile on her face.

It's just that her gaze, after seeing that there were only three people coming, dimmed slightly, "How many people are there?" The old woman's voice sounded very old.

"Oh, they're scouting." Qing Ling said the rhetoric that he had already thought of.

Several people were together, but there were two people missing from the old woman's house, and the old woman would inevitably want to ask, so Qing Ling had already thought of an excuse.

"Pathfinding? What is the way to go? The old woman hesitated.

"Oh, we're on our way, and we're leaving here tomorrow, so while it's still early, they'll go ahead and explore the way." Qingling continued to explain.

"Well, it's okay if they don't come." The old woman's voice was still a little hoarse, and the speed of her speech was very slow, "When the time comes, you can bring them something to eat." ”

Xiang Ling didn't care about the conversation between Qingling and the old woman at all, she saw that the old woman had been standing at the door, and she didn't mean to let them in, she was a little anxious, so she took the white porridge in her hand and walked straight to the old woman. "Old woman, can we go in?"

The old woman looked at Xiang Ling's anxious appearance and couldn't help but smile, "It's okay, of course it's okay, please come in!" ”

With the permission of the master, Xiang Ling couldn't wait to take the bowl of white porridge in his hand and hurriedly walked into the house.

The old woman's home, similar to the rest of the houses in the village, was made of mud. The furnishings in the room were also very simple, with a few ordinary chairs and a dilapidated table, and a bed leaning against the corner.

In the corner facing the bed, there is a large stove, and at this moment, the large stove is rising with white smoke.

Xiang Ling casually put the bowl of porridge in his hand on the table, then sat on the chair and looked around. "Old woman, do you live alone?"

"Yes, this house is my wife living alone." The old woman trembled to the big stove, lifted the lid of the cauldron on the stove, and the smoke rose into the sky.

Xiang Ling sniffed his nose and smelled the refreshing fragrance, "What about your child?" What about the wife? ”

"My wife died early, leaving a few children, and they died early because they didn't have anything to eat." The old woman's hand holding the lid of the pot stopped, sighed deeply, and then immediately stirred the contents of the pot with a spatula.

"I'm sorry!" When Xiang Ling heard the old woman's life experience, he felt a little pitiful.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm used to it." The old woman didn't look up, just lowered her head and focused on the spatula in her hand.

"What are you doing, old woman? Why is it so fragrant? Xiang Ling smelled the fragrance, and couldn't help getting up and walked to the stove, standing beside the old woman, looking into the cauldron.

In the big pot in the stove, there was still white porridge.

"There is nothing to eat at home, only some rice is left, which is all grown by myself, so I burned some white porridge to entertain foreign guests." The old woman explained.

"Only white porridge is fine." Xiang Ling wiped the saliva that was about to run down from the corner of his mouth.

This action of hers was seen by the old woman, and the old woman smiled slightly, "It'll be fine soon, wait a minute." ”

"Okay, don't rush, old woman, take your time." Xiang Ling walked back to the table and sat down.

After Yi and Qingling entered the door, they never stopped, and the two of them wandered around the corner of the narrow room, carefully inspecting the dilapidated room.

Xiang Ling looked at the cautious and cautious appearance of the two people, and was a little disapproving, "You two sit down and drink porridge." ”

The old woman saw Qing Ling and Yi walking around her house out of the corner of her eye, and she didn't mind, she still cared for the porridge in her pot.

Soon, the old woman stopped moving, she took a few bowls from the stove, took out three bowls of porridge, and put them on the table, "Come and eat, my house can be seen at a glance, and there is nothing to hide people and things." ”

Qingling and Yi smiled awkwardly when they heard the old woman's meaningful words, and they all consciously sat around the table.

The old woman pushed the steaming white porridge in front of them, and smiled with great tenderness, revealing a pair of yellow teeth that could barely see the gaps between the teeth.

Xiang Ling was already hungry, but now when he saw the white porridge in front of him, he didn't say a word, buried his head and ate it in a big gulp.

Qing Ling and Yi originally planned to stop her, but Xiang Ling's movements were too fast, and the two of them watched in amazement as Xiang Ling swallowed the bowl of white porridge in front of them into their stomachs in less than a few seconds.

The old woman smiled and watched Xiang Ling finish out a large bowl of white porridge, then turned her eyes to Qingling and Yi, and grinned her yellow teeth again, "Why don't you eat it?" ”

"We're not hungry!" Qing Ling smiled and pushed the bowl in front of him forward.

The old woman looked at Qing Ling with a cautious look on her face, and the smile on her face began to fade slowly.

"You are very cautious, but can you keep your mouth shut and keep your nose shut and not smell the taste?"

"What do you mean by that?" Qing Ling's heart chuckled, and his gaze subconsciously looked at the still smoky stove.

"What do you mean, you'll soon understand." The old woman still had an interesting smile on her face, but what she said sounded full of threat.

"You, sure enough, there's a problem!"

Yi Teng stood up and pulled Xiang Ling behind him.
