After Hou Sanping left, I reopened my eyes and looked at the bronze statue of the ancestor who seemed to have no luster at all, as if it had grown mold, and fell into deep thought.

He didn't enter a meditative state again, quietly sat in front of the bronze statue of the patriarch, sat until noon, and then got up and walked outside the grass hut.

When he came to the door, before he stepped out, he saw the sharp-beaked monkey gills, like a dwarf, Hou Sanping, quietly floating on the unusually luxuriant, but lifeless bushes on the edge of the outer ridge less than two meters away, two triangular eyes like poisonous snakes, releasing a strange glimmer, and when I first saw me come out, I didn't smile.

Because he was floating on the bushes, his feet were some distance from the ground overgrown with lifeless weeds, so he looked like a dwarf, no, he was a dwarf in the first place, and he looked a little tall at this time, at least I didn't have to look down at him anymore.

And around the thatched house, at this time, there are also different appearances, but they are all the same gloomy, looking at my eyes, most of them are similar to Hou Sanping's ghosts, densely forming an encirclement, surrounding the grass house. Looking at it like this, you don't need to count it at all, you know that as long as it is the wandering ghosts who are attracted by this land of extreme yin, they all appear at this time and join the encirclement of me, whether they have the heart to deal with me or not, or they like to hide during the day.

Although it seems that there are a lot of them, and there are many small bays everywhere, if it is compared to the fact that since Duan Yifa was the first to arrive, it has been increasing almost every day, so that in the future, I can't pay attention to the growth rate at all, how can I not fight it should only be one hundred and seventy-three. It seems that this place is not only in and out, but also in and out, and of course disappears forever.

In the end, what was left was naturally the "quality" was relatively high, and they were willing to join Hou Sanping's camp, or had to join.

"Master, you're going to eat again?" After two seconds of silent staring with me, the old ghost, who seemed to have become the leader of the ghosts, spoke softly, without any expression on his face.

Ignoring the ambitious old ghost, who had already made up his mind to tear my face apart, I withdrew my gaze and stepped out the door, stepping on the lifeless, thriving weeds that showed no vitality, and headed straight for the bottom of the canal.

As I began to walk down, the wandering ghosts that were blocking my way also gave way.

Perhaps these can no longer be simply called wandering ghosts. Nourished by the extremely rich yin qi that is like hell, these yin spirits are no different from the "people" living in the underworld. To put it bluntly, he already has a lot of harmful abilities, and there are not a few people like Hou Lao Ghost who are close to becoming evil, otherwise they would not be determined to get rid of my restrictions.

"Master, you have seen the situation as well. It's not that we can't negotiate fairly with you, but we really keep your feelings in mind, so we still hope that you will think about it carefully. As the old saying goes, yin and yang have different paths, this place should belong to the world of our yin things, you are a yang person, why do you always want to be powerful in this place, so that we all obey you. When he came to the bottom of the canal and walked under Hou Sanping, he had already turned around, looked at me condescendingly and whispered.

I continued to walk outside without pause, as if I hadn't heard him.

"I know, Master, you are a person from the Dao, and we are yin beings, which are originally antagonistic, but how to say it, if you catch us harming others and destroying the balance of yin and yang, and kill us with a killer, even if it is just because you can't see our existence, and you want to do it for no reason, we will not have any complaints, because we all know that it is your mission, and if you die under your hands, we can only blame ourselves for being unlucky. But like you, who deliberately lure us here, but don't deal with us, but keep us in captivity like cattle and sheep, and make us obey your words, we really can't understand it. ”

It seems that some words have been held in my heart for a long time, and it is time to say them, so although I ignore them at this time, Hou Sanping still has to decide to continue, looking at my back as I gradually walk away, and said: "To be honest, I can be regarded as a person who was born in the Tao and walked in the Tao of Yin and Yang for most of my life, and I can be said to be relatively clear about some things in this industry, so according to what I see, Master, your behavior of trying to keep us in captivity and obeying your orders is really difficult to call it a righteous act." Although we are filthy things, we should no longer wander the yang world, but this does not mean that in order to continue to survive in the yang world, we must bow down to people like you, Guru, and become slaves and servants. ”

"There is a saying that a soldier can be killed but not humiliated, although we are not scholars, we are just living in the yang world, and we are afraid of the yin things, but we also need dignity and backbone. So if you want to suppress us, we have no complaints, but if you want to enslave us and make us ants and tools for you to achieve some ulterior mole, then please forgive us for not being able to obey our fate and fight to the death, so why do you have to persecute us so much, Master? We are just a leaf of duckweed between heaven and earth, and we would rather suffer from the scorching fire of the sun than give up our freedom and fall into the underworld. ”

Reasonable, polite and courteous, and a loud accusation, I couldn't help but stop when I heard it, and then turned to look at this old ghost, with an awe-inspiring face at this time, looking at death as if he were at home.

After a moment of silence, I smiled softly at him, then turned around and continued on my path, ignoring it again.

And seeing that I said so much, I just responded with a faint smile, and I didn't mean to talk to myself at all, and the strange light in the two triangular eyes of the old ghost Hou became a little more gloomy, and he watched me leave, and didn't say anything anymore.

Due to the heavy yin qi, the entire mountain bay and the surrounding rice fields have all been abandoned this year, so from the mountain bay, the whole world is still like the middle of winter, the wild grass that has never really been moistened by the sun, although it is stronger, but it is also as lifeless as the grass around the grass house. It wasn't until I got out of the mountain bay that I gradually felt the existence of vitality, and the crazy vegetation all over the ground gradually recovered, and I really experienced the normal luster of wind and sun.

After stepping on the weeds and thorns that were so thick that there was no longer any soil in sight, and even the canal had been completely blocked, after continuing to walk out for a hundred meters, it seemed that he had gradually come to a completely different world.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, the earth is already slightly yellow, the surrounding rice fields are no longer shelved, let the aquatic plants grow wildly, but gradually replaced by the first golden yellow, full of grains of rice, the weeds on the edge of the canal, no longer completely uncared for, by the diligent farmers neatly cut to feed the cattle and sheep, the canals and roads are also revealed, the crystal clear water is slowly retained.

As soon as I arrived in this world, which was full of life and harvest, I saw a pine snake with the thickness of an arm, swimming out of the canal a few meters in front of me, crossing the narrow road, and slowly going down the mountain.

Sixty or seventy meters ahead, on the side of the mountain road, the old mother in summer clothes, and Huanhuan, who had basically set the shape, were already looking forward to it by the canal, and the grandfather who was wearing short-sleeved sandals and had just trimmed his gray hair was very energetic.

In comparison, my fluffy cotton coat looks a little out of place, but after more than half a year, all the people who have seen me have long been commonplace, so the people who happened to be busy working nearby just looked at me from a distance and smiled, and soon lowered their heads again and started to work on their own, and did not say anything.

Wait patiently for the pine snake in front of me to completely pass through the canal and burrow into the grass below, making sure that it will not be disturbed by me again, and then reopen its legs and continue to walk outside. At the same time, the color of the coat was about to merge with the golden yellow of the rice, and Huanhuan, who could no longer call it "Little Yellow Dog", saw that I began to walk this way again, and stood up from my mother's feet, stuck out his tongue and rushed towards me, and there was still three or four meters away from me, so he jumped up high, and when he landed, he just came to me, and his two front paws were just on my shoulders.

Rao is completely accustomed to the way Huanhuan meets me every day, he stopped early, and secretly stood firm and prepared, but he was still shaken by it, and his right foot was cushioned back before he stood firmly. At first, this guy probably didn't realize that he had fully grown up, and when he rushed over at full speed, I was knocked down several times before he began to make it remember it for a long time and know how to be a little more restrained.

Then there was a burst of affection with a strange scream, and the hot air went straight to my face, until I was so overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the big creature that I pushed it outward, and finally stopped, and walked back in circles around me on the narrow road.

Taking advantage of the fact that the rice is not yet fully ripe and the farm work is relatively leisurely, my father and his construction team have recently contracted the work of a three-story self-built house on the side of Chashantang, and they go out before dawn and come back after dark, so most of the time they have brought me food, my grandfather will sometimes come with him, and sometimes he will bring Huanhuan himself. As for the old man, although he has always stayed at home, and when he is busy with farm work, he will also do what he can with his grandfather, but since he drove me to the mountain, he has not seen me again.

At this time, no one knew that there was a turmoil brewing in the cold world behind him that no one dared to approach, and I didn't plan to tell them about the situation inside, and I didn't mention a word from beginning to end, so my mother and grandfather didn't notice anything wrong.

But between jokes, I still vaguely felt that my mother had something on her mind, but she was worried that it would affect me, so she didn't say it.

Since there is something, I must talk about it, so after eating, I smiled and asked her, is there something at home? If so, just say it, don't worry about anything, even if it has something to do with me.

Mom looked at me and hesitated for a while, then smiled and said It's actually nothing, isn't it already August now, Xiaowei discussed with us last night, saying that she wanted to come to the house for the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mom wanted to discuss it with you, but I was afraid that it would affect you.

The little daughter-in-law wants to come to the house for the Mid-Autumn Festival? I couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Speaking of which, time is really fast, at first I still feel difficult, but in a flash, I haven't seen my little daughter-in-law for more than half a year, because I am more and more immersed in this state now, and the number of times I contact her is getting less and less, and even if it weren't for my mother's frequent reminders, I still can't remember the day when I should contact her. So when I met such a person who hadn't entered the door, I often talked about caring about my daughter-in-law at home, and I have to say that it was also shit luck. If I were a different person, I would be like a wild man, and I would not see a living person for more than half a year when I ran to the mountains, and I am afraid that I would have already changed my mind.

In that case, we really can't go on like this, and it's almost time to meet. Now that the harvest season has begun to come, how can I let the little daughter-in-law who has been waiting for more than half a year continue to wait.

So after thinking about it for a while, I said it's okay, I can come if I want, and when the Mid-Autumn Festival comes, even if I can't finish it yet, it's okay to go home for a few days, and I'll pick them up when the time comes.

"Niannian, you listen to your mother, things are not as simple as you think." I thought that when I said this, my mother should always rest assured that she could smile happily, but she didn't expect that a faint sadness suddenly climbed up her brow.

"Ah, what the hell is going on then?" I was surprised to see my mother's reaction like this.

It turned out that the reason why Zhang Xiaowei discussed with her parents was not only because she and Sister Yun wanted to come, but because her parents in Guangdong planned to come.

That's the most important thing.

As early as the Chinese New Year, the two families had made initial contact, so that Zhang Xiaowei's parents knew about my existence, and the problem was precisely at this point, because the purpose of the contact at that time was to preliminarily settle our affairs as soon as possible, so although I stayed at home later, Zhang Xiaowei also did her parents' "ideological work" little by little according to the original discussion, so that they could fully understand and accept me.

But no one expected that I would stay at home for more than half a year.

In this way, the problem also appeared: Zhang Xiaowei's parents slowly accepted me and were mentally prepared to welcome my family to visit, but there was no follow-up on my side.

At first, we rushed to discuss our lifelong events, but in the end there was no sound, and after waiting for a long time, I didn't see any news from my side, Zhang Xiaowei's parents were naturally not very happy, so they began to ask her what the situation was, whether there was any problem with me, or whether she had fallen for me at all.

There was no way, Zhang Xiaowei had no choice but to tell them about the fact that I had been in my hometown for most of the year. Unexpectedly, such a statement made them even more uneasy, and after coming and going, Zhang Xiaowei's mother moved, and since there was no news from my family, they took the initiative to come and take a look at the specific situation.
