Chapter 40: A Strange Village

At dusk, the two arrived in front of a village, and Ju Yiran said: "This village is not allowed to pass through at night, we will spend the night here tonight, and I can take you to Tengyun tomorrow morning when I recover." ”

Han Qingge nodded obediently, and the two entered the village side by side.

The people in the stockade were dressed in dark blue homespun shorts, with heavy cloth hats of the same color on their heads, and holding hoes, baskets and other things in their hands, as if they had just returned from work, and they were not at all surprised by the strangers who appeared in the stockade.

There is a spring in the center of the village, and all the houses are built around this spring, where people are fetching water, children are playing by the water, and there are several places where smoke curls up, making people feel very peaceful.

Ju Yiran took her around most of the village, came to a small poor brick house, and said, "This is a place for outsiders to live in this village. ”

Entering the house, although the furnishings are simple, they are all available, tables, chairs, stoves, dishes, etc., but this bed is only one.

Ju Yiran said: "Are you hungry or not, there are fish in the spring." ”

Han Qingge shook his head and said, "No, just rest for the night." ”

Ju Yiran touched his stomach and said, "I want to eat something, can you eat something with me?"

Where did he use the food, he just wanted to find more words to talk to Han Qingge, and when he saw that she didn't object, he went straight out to fish.

After a while, he came back with two fish, and before he reached the door, he said, "It's good luck today, it's the first time I've caught such a big fish." ”

His smile fell on Han Qingge's eyes, which made her a little dazed, and there was a faint warmth in her heart, and she couldn't help but smile along with it.

He got up and took the fish from his hand and said, "I'll do it." ”

Ju Yiran didn't shirk and said, "Okay." ”

He sat back at the table, a pot of tea had been made on the table, poured out a cup, took a sip, took another sip, and praised: "This tea has been drunk countless times, but I didn't expect it to taste like this." ”

Han Qingge turned his back to him and cooked the fish, and when he heard it, he said, "I used to do these when I was in the Haoran Sect, and I will be cooked." ”

As soon as the words fell, Ju Yiran had already gone to her side and took the work in her hand, dried her hands and pressed her to the table, and said softly: "You rest for a while." ”

"I do. Han Qingge just stood up and was pressed down by him again.

Ju Yiran circled her behind her, put his chin on the top of his head and said: "Today's thing is that I am not good, I apologize to you, and when you get angry in the future, come to me, don't cry." ”

Han Qingge didn't come back to her senses for a long time, there was a certain emotion sprouting in her heart, she felt that she had fallen into a huge quagmire, bigger and deeper than the one she was born in, but she didn't want to come out at all.

Until Ju Yiran had already brought the fish to the table, she still looked distracted.

Ju Yiran put a piece of fish meat to her mouth and said, "Open your mouth." ”

Han Qingge obediently opened her mouth, and she woke up when the fish entered her mouth, and swallowed the fish without chewing, choking herself and coughing.

Ju Yiran handed the tea to her and said, "Fortunately, this fish has no bones, otherwise it would have been stuck." ”

Han Qingge poured a cup of tea, Ju Yiran reached out for the cup, she put it on the table in a panic, Ju Yiran looked at it in her eyes, there was a wry smile on the corner of her mouth, and said, "Unappetizing?"

"No, no, it's delicious. ”

Ju Yiran put down his chopsticks, paused, and said, "Qingge, whatever you want to ask, just ask and say anything, and I will tell you." ”

Han Qingge waved his hand and said, "No, no, a magpie just flew in, saying that he would let you go tomorrow, and said that he would come to pick you up." ”

Ju Yiran's expression froze on his face, and he said, "It's a magpie?"

"Hmm. ”

"What did you say?"

"I said I'd pass the word. ”

"I'm not going. ”

A hint of joy flashed in Han Qingge's eyes, Ju Yiran didn't miss her expression, this magpie never had anything good in her mouth, she must have said something embarrassing to her.

After dinner, it was also dark, Ju Yiran closed the curtains, and the room suddenly went dark. Han Qingge had checked it before, and there was nothing here except that there were no kerosene candles.

"Why is this so weird?"

"The people of the whole village are punished for breaking taboos, I heard that they have sinned too much, even if they enter the immortal reform institute, they can't atone for their sins, they can still live like normal people during the day, but at night they have to atone for their sins collectively. What kind of redemption is this, but it can't be known to outsiders. ”

Han Qingge thought for a while and said, "All around here are the scope of this village?"

"Yes, it should be said that it is their place of captivity. As far as I know, this is the only one who is immortal and cannot leave this place, and cannot go to other places in the Immortal Transformation Courtyard. ”

"Where's the girl you asked to meet?"

Ju Yiran coughed and said unnaturally: "She, she doesn't live here." ”

"But she knows you're here. Han Qingge said sullenly.

Ju Yiran hugged her into his arms and said, "Jealous?"

Han Qingge was silent, and Ju Yiyi said, "Her cultivation is not below me, and she can drive birds and birds, and it is normal to know my whereabouts." ”

"What's her name?"

"Qin You, with half phoenix blood. ”

"Phoenix, she's beautiful, isn't she?"

Ju Yiran smiled and said: "I don't know if she's beautiful or not, but I guess I'm definitely not as beautiful as Yi Xiao in your heart." ”

Han Qingge knew that he was laughing again, she only remembered Yi Xiao's words, and she was ashamed and ashamed for a while, and she didn't know what to say.

As the two spoke, there was a dull sound of footsteps outside, and with each step, the room shook as if there was a giant walking outside.

Ju Yiran sighed, and the footsteps soon arrived in front of the hut, the two quietly hugged each other and waited silently, each could hear each other's heartbeat, and Ju Yiran paid attention to the movement outside.

After a while, the footsteps sounded again, and they walked slowly into the distance.

Ju Yiran patted her and said, "Okay, let's sleep for a while." ”

Han Qingge didn't respond, and looked down to see that she was already asleep leaning on him.

Ju Yiran carefully laid her flat on the bed, but Han Qingge kept holding his arm, Ju Yiran tried to pull her arm back, but she immediately hugged her tighter as if she was afraid that someone would rob her.

"You dragged me to me, tomorrow is dawn, you can't say that I bullied you. Ju Yiran muttered to himself, kissed her lips, and lay down beside her.
