Su Yi lived on the halfway point of an unnamed wild mountain not far from the mountain.

The house is in a bamboo forest, with a valley in front and a fairy mountain in the back, which is a good place for feng shui.

Different from the summer heat in Junnan County, it is very cool here, and the hot summer is blown by the breeze with the fragrance of bamboo leaves, and I can't wait to go anywhere, so I live in seclusion here.

Chen Daoren saw the envious look on Yu Xia's face, and snorted lightly, "The big mansion of Xijian Villa begged you to live, but it didn't make you happy, but you coveted this broken bamboo house?" ”

"Sword Washing Villa?" Ye Kui said curiously, "Is it the Zhuangzi of the Shangsun family, the richest family in Junnan County?" ”

"The richest man?" Yu Xia found this title a little interesting.

Ye Kui nodded, "Yes, the Shangsun family is the head snake of Junnan County, controlling the iron ore business in Junnan County, and he is also keen to make friends with people in the rivers and lakes, and we ordinary people dare not provoke it easily." ”

Speaking of this, Ye Kui glanced at Yu Xia and the others in amazement, "You can actually go to the villa?" The master is worthy of being a master, and even the Sun family has to sweep the couch to greet him. ”

Ye Kui's words made Yu Xia happy, and the local people who dared to love Junnan didn't know what was going on with the Shangsun family.

Controlling the iron ore business?

Make friends with people in the rivers and lakes?

Well...... There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that.

No wonder he yelled when he saw that he knew some spells.

Among the Xuanmen, especially the family, they all invariably hide their Xuanmen background from the common people, and many things are only known to the people of the Xuanmen.

This is also for the sake of social stability.

After all, the Xuanshi who is responsible for cultivation is only a small number of people.

The grains that people need to eat, the clothes they want to wear, the houses they want to live in, and the carriages and horses they want to sit on are all inseparable from the hard work of ordinary people.

If everyone is a Xuanshi, then who else will go down to the field to farm?

However, many people's qualifications are naturally destined for him not to be able to practice, when they see the ability of the Xuan Master, how can they only be ordinary people and be content with the status quo in their hearts?

Yu Xia's mind was confused, and the door of the bamboo house opened shortly after Ye Kui's gentle knock.

A very beautiful woman walked in from inside.

"Mr. Ye?"

The woman obviously recognized Ye Kui, and when she saw that it was him, she immediately smiled.

Ye Kui waved at the woman, "Hello sister-in-law, is Brother Su at home?" ”

The woman nodded, "Your brother Su is still painting in the study, and it will take a while to come out." If he knew you were coming, he would be overjoyed. ”

"Who are these?"

The woman noticed the three Yu Xia who were born.

Ye Kui smiled and introduced to the woman: "These are my three friends, I happened to meet them on the way here, so I called them together." ”

"I'm sorry for your trouble." Ye Kui was a little embarrassed and looked at the woman apologetically.

"How so." The woman smiled gently, "I live in the mountains with Ah Yi all the year round, and it is quiet and quiet, but it is inevitable to be lonely." It's too late for you to bring your friends over to be happy, but the humble house is shabby, and I'm afraid I'm going to wronged a few distinguished guests. ”

Yu Xia walked up to the woman, looked up and smiled sweetly: "Big sister, you are really good-looking and good-hearted, then we can bother!" ”

The woman was happy to see the well-behaved Yu Xia, and touched her head affectionately, "Call the big sister to see the outside, just call me Arou." ”

"Sister Arou, this is my grandfather, this is my brother."

Yu Xia was very enthusiastic to introduce Arou.

Ye Kui listened to Yu Xia's words, and his heart was sour.

Why is he an uncle?

This generation is in chaos!

Arou beckoned a few people into the house, which was a small courtyard surrounded by bamboo, with clothes drying in the yard, some grain sprinkled on the ground, and many sparrows pecking rice to eat.

Yu Xia knew it was going to be bad when she saw those sparrows.

I only heard the sound of "fluttering ridges", and a gray fluttering round figure flapped its wings and flew into the bamboo courtyard and fell to the ground.

Mixed in with a flock of rice-pecking sparrows.

"Where did the pigeons come from?"

Arou said in amazement.

Yu Xia also exclaimed excitedly, "Really, this pigeon is so cute!" ”

Ye Kui didn't know the truth, and he also looked at it seriously.

"This pigeon has a pure coat, soft and shiny, and it is indeed outstanding, but it is a little fatter."

Chen Daoren glanced at Yu Xia with disgust.

Even if there is a fat crow in the palm of his hand, even the good carrier pigeon of Daoyuantang has become this stupid appearance.

This is not to blame Yu Xia.

In the past six months of walking with the master and apprentice, the pigeons only occasionally sent some letters to Daoyuan Hall, and the rest of the time they flew and played freely outside, and when they were hungry, they found food to eat. The pigeon was about to be very happy, so it was so big that it swelled up.

The pigeon was not afraid under the gaze of several people, and its mouth was fast, and "Dododo" ate all the grain in front of him, and then gathered into the sparrow pile to grab them, and the sparrows were not happy, and chirped for a long time.

So the pigeon flapped its wings and flew away without hesitation.

"This pigeon is quite spiritual." Arou covered her mouth and smiled.

Yu Xia laughed dryly and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

It didn't take long for Su Yi, who had finished painting, to come out.

Su Yi looked like he was in his twenties, looking slightly older than Ye Kui, and when he saw someone coming, he didn't show a particularly surprised look, he only nodded very gently to a few people, and then walked to the corner of the courtyard to wash his hands.

Yu Xia noticed that in the corner of the courtyard there was a groove leading to the outside of the courtyard, and above the groove was a hollow bamboo with bubbling spring water outward.

The groove was supposed to be used to prevent the water from flowing and draining the water.

It's a clever thought.

Yu Xia couldn't help but praise.

This saves you the hassle of going to the mountains to fetch water.

This husband and wife, a weak scholar and a weak woman, if they really had to carry a wooden bucket back and forth to carry water, then their lives would not be as comfortable as they are now.

Dinner was served in the courtyard.

Arou fried a few simple mountain delicacies, roast chicken and wine were brought by Ye Kui, and several people sat around the bamboo table, eating lively.

With the afterglow of the setting sun, Yu Xia took a good look at Su Yi.

Su Yi's vitality around his body was a little weak, which was a symptom of many frail people, and it was not abnormal.

"Brother Su, I'm going to take the test soon, do you plan to participate this year?" Ye Kui drank some wine, and the conversation became more.

"Smack"

The wine glass in Su Yi's hand was crushed to pieces.

Ye Kui was so frightened that he was a little dizzy, and most of the wine on his head immediately woke up.

"Brother Su, what's wrong with you? Did you hurt your hand? ”

"It's fine."

Su Yi shook his head and picked up the broken porcelain piece casually.

"I'll go get another cup, and you can eat again."

Saying that, Su Yi didn't wait for everyone to react, so he got up and went to the kitchen.

Yu Xia noticed that his steps were a little heavy, and he pushed open the kitchen door with some force, and he was like two people when he started to see him.

It's the same as what Ye Kui told them before.
