After meeting, Jiang Muyun asked Xu Zixuan's brother and the situation at home, and then discussed painting with his youth. Hearing that this boy came to paint the peach blossoms here, he had to chat with the boy about the peach blossoms in this village. After chatting, Jiang Muyun told Xu Zixuan about some customs and folklore in this village.

Jiang Muyun and Xu Zixuan continued to talk before, and Xu Zixuan said, "Brother Jiang, you said that the oldest old peach tree in the peach forest has become an immortal, is it true?"

Jiang Muyun said with a smile: "I heard this from Xiaoyu's father yesterday, whether it's true or not, I don't know." However, the old peach tree is two hundred years old, and with the legend of the peach grove circulating in the village, I think this is also possible. ”

Xu Zixuan said: "What legend?"

Jiang Muyun said: "I also heard what others said, I forgot the specific story, probably legend a hundred years ago on a rainy night with thunder and lightning, a white light appeared in the sky, and soon, the thunder stopped. People walked out of the house and saw it in that white light. Later, the woman's image disappeared, and the white light fell into the peach forest. People say that the woman is a manifestation of the heavenly immortals. ”

Xu Zixuan pondered for a while and said, "Brother Jiang, do you believe in this legend? Do you believe that there are really immortals in the world?"

Jiang Muyun said with a smile: "Many old people in this village have said that they have seen the white light, and the woman in the white light, whether it is true or not, I can't tell, hehe." However, when the villagers encountered any difficulties, they all thought that there was an immortal in this village to protect them, and everyone's hearts became calm. Whether it's true or not, I'd rather believe with the people in the village that it's real, and that the immortals descended on the peach forest, and many people believe that it was God's blessing to the village. ”

Xu Zixuan smiled faintly and said, "That's not bad." In fact, it is not necessary to distinguish so much between truth and falsehood in the world, and sometimes, it is not bad to understand it this way. ”

After a while, Cassia, the eldest son of Village Chief Ma, came to the fence of the hut to find Jiang Xiaowei's father, Jiang Muyun.

Zhao Xiaoyu thought in his heart: It won't be because of Xiaowei's brother, there are usually strangers in the village, and Brother Ming has to come to check.

Sure enough, as he expected, after a while, Jiang Muyun's voice calling Xu Zixuan came from outside the house. Everyone walked out of the hut with Xu Zixuan.

Ma Cianming looked up at Xu Zixuan, and a trace of surprise suddenly flashed on his calm face, this young man had a stunning face. He couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart, the children of the nobles are really different from ordinary people. At that time, he thought of the nobles in his heart as noble and refined as Xu Zixuan, and it was not until many years later when he came into contact with the nobles in the city that he really sighed at the unusualness of this young man.

Jiang Muyun knew this convention, so when he saw Ma Cassia, he explained: "This Brother Xu is the third brother of a close friend of mine in Yangzhou before, named Xu Zixuan, I had a good relationship with him when I was in his father's mansion, and then I lived in this place, and he also came to see me with his brother, Brother Ma should have seen him, right?"

Ma Cianming bowed his head and saluted Xu Zixuan, and said, "It turned out to be the San Lang of the Xu Assassin Historian, I haven't seen him for six years, and I don't know each other anymore, forgive me!"

Xu Zixuan smiled slightly and politely returned the salute.

Ma Cianming said to Jiang Muyun: "Brother Jiang, there is actually an important matter for me to come here today, I still hope that you can come to my house and I will talk to you in detail, because I can't understand it." ”

Jiang Muyun pondered for a moment and asked, "What is so serious?"

Ma Cianming approached and said, "Brother Jiang, don't hide it...... It's a bit bizarre and weird. In short, we need your help. ”

Jiang Muyun thought about it and nodded. He looked up and said to his wife Mei Yingying, "Yingying, you take Xiaowei at home first." Brother Xu, I won't accompany you today, I'll go to Brother Ma's house, you can treat this place as your own home, don't be restrained. ”

Ma Cassia said "farewell" to everyone, and then turned around with Jiang Muyun to leave.

Mrs. Jiang looked at the figures of the two leaving, and her eyes showed a trace of worry.

Jiang Xiaowei was very happy when he heard that there were only him, Xiaoyu, Niang, and his brother Zixuan. Mrs. Jiang said to Jiang Xiaowei: "Xiaowei, take Brother Zixuan and Xiaoyu back to the house first, I see it's almost afternoon, I'll go to the kitchen to prepare dinner first." ”

He replied obediently: "Mother, you are busy, with us accompanying Brother Zixuan, Brother Zixuan will not be bored." He looked up at Xu Zixuan and said with a smile, "Right? Brother Zixuan." ”

Xu Zixuan smiled and nodded in response.

At dinner, Jiang Muyun had not returned. Seeing that the lights were on, she sighed, and then said to the kitchen to put the food on the table. The children knew that they were eating, but they still didn't let go of Xu Zixuan, and they were still talking about it with high emotions. Mei Yingying smiled, being young is good, and she never knows what it feels like to be sad.

By this time, it was already twilight outside. For some reason, this time her head went out to talk about things for so long, and she faintly felt some uneasiness in her heart. The evening breeze blew, and the scent of flowers wafted in from outside, and she stepped out of the wooden door and went out into the fence looking into the distance.

In the night, there seemed to be a figure streaked across the night sky, fast like an illusion. When Mrs. Jiang looked carefully, she only saw two figures walking towards her house in the vast twilight, and her expression was slightly wary. However, she soon found out that it was her head of the house and Xiaoyu's father, Brother Zhao, and she exhaled softly. However, there was a faint sense of foreboding approaching in her heart, though not very clear.

Seeing that the two were getting closer and closer, Jiang Muyun glanced at her gently and smiled slightly. Zhao Yu asked, "Brother and sister, is my little fish still playing at your house?"

Mrs. Jiang smiled and said, "Yes, Brother Zhao, why don't you come in and sit down?"

Zhao Yu sighed, "This kid, it's so late to play, and he's still eating at someone's house, it's really unetiquette." ”

Jiang Muyun said: "Brother, what are you talking about? Doesn't our family Xiaowei also come to your house to trouble you? Hehe, go in, I have something to discuss with you in a while." ”

Zhao Yu said: "What you are talking about is that tomorrow your guests will come to my peach forest to see the peach blossoms? I will know about this at noon today." ”

Jiang Muyun said, "I knew that this kid Xiaowei went to tell you about this matter today, this kid's mouth is really fast, hehe! Since you already know, then you can accompany me into the house to drink two cups, you have been busy lately, and I don't have time to see you, you come today, let's sit in the house first." ”

Zhao Yu excused himself and said: "No, I don't feel at ease when I'm alone at home, and she has also prepared a meal for me and Xiaoyu to go back to eat, I think it's better to eat another day, Brother Jiang." ”

Jiang Muyun thought for a while and said, "It's really not good for my sister-in-law to be at home alone, it's better to be like this, Xiaoyu will finish eating at our house today, and I'll send him back in a while, what do you think, Brother Zhao?"

Mrs. Jiang also said: "Yes, I see that Xiaoyu and our family Xiaowei are chatting quite happily now, so let's let them talk more." ”

Zhao Yu thought for a while and said, "Okay, brother, I'm still waiting for me at home, I'll go back first." You help me tell Xiaoyu that he will come back early after eating in a while, ah?!"

Jiang Muyun looked at the sky and didn't leave Zhao Yu behind, "Okay, Brother Zhao, we'll tell Xiaoyu, it's better to go back early." ”

Zhao Yu nodded, then turned around and walked towards the small bridge.

After Zhao Yu walked away, Mrs. Jiang found that her husband's face was a little serious.

Mrs. Jiang looked into the room and saw that the children were still chatting and discussing the issue of Black Hawk. Mrs. Jiang asked quietly, "Mu Yun, you went to Brother Ma's house today, what did he tell you?" She didn't want to disturb the children.

Jiang Muyun said: "The situation is really a little bad, let's eat in the first house, it is estimated that our life will not be as peaceful as it is now." I'll tell you slowly when I enter the house, Yingying. ”

Mrs. Jiang covered her chest lightly and said, "It's just that we have been living quietly in Majiazhuang for six years, what else will happen to this small village?"

Jiang Muyun comforted: "Don't worry too much...... Although the problem is a little complicated, it is not impossible to solve, don't worry, it will be fine," he looked up at the sky in the distance, which was extending in the direction of the peach forest, "Moreover, don't we have the blessing of immortals? Brother Zhao's old peach tree, don't we visit it every year? Since she has become an immortal, she will definitely bless us." ”

Mrs. Jiang looked up at Jiang Muyun gently and nodded. In fact, it doesn't matter if the legend is true or not, the important thing is that she understands what he means.

Jiang Muyun said affectionately: "We agreed to stay here for a lifetime, Yingying, do you remember?"

Mrs. Jiang nodded. The white flowers under the eaves swayed gently around them, exuding a faint and gentle fragrance.

The reason why Jiang Muyun suddenly said these words was because some strange things had indeed happened in Majia Village recently. Ma Cianming told him that first of all, the door gods on the doors of some villagers' houses were destroyed, and then some people saw the charms posted near the village and did not know who tore them up, and some villagers reported that there were inexplicably large puddles in their paddy fields, and there were some fragments of clothes around the puddles. This morning, a villager went up the mountain to collect medicine, and he came back in the afternoon, but he came back at noon, and as soon as he came back, he fell asleep and didn't say anything, just like an evil spirit. This series of things happened in the last two days, and they are all incredible.

The scenery of Majia Village is pleasant, and occasionally some dignitaries will come here to enjoy it, but it has always been peaceful and quiet, and few strange things happen. However, after six years of seclusion, strange things began to happen. Jiang Muyun seemed to have a premonition that all this was done by his enemies, because, when he was in Chang'an, the enemies he made were not only Jianghu guests, but also some warlocks. Jiang Muyun didn't know what news found them. The purpose of these mysterious and strange things may be to get the people of Majia Village to expel the couple from the village, or maybe everything is more than that...... In any case, it seems that these things are coming for them.

It's just that although Jiang Muyun thought very precisely, he only guessed half of the whole thing correctly, because, in fact, the facts here are far more complicated than he imagined.
