13Settled in Taoyuan Village
As soon as Li Yanyan and his wife came out of the courtyard, they fixed there like pillars, only to see Bai Lao sitting on the stone bench alone, and when he saw Li Yanyan's family coming out, he picked up the teapot on the stone platform and filled the three teacups, and then motioned to Li Yanyan and them to sit down.
Li Yanyan and his wife stepped forward at the same time and did not sit on the stone bench. Li Yanyan said respectfully: "I Li Yanyan's family can't repay Bai Lao's life-saving grace and care, if he is useful to my Li Yanyan in the future, he will definitely go to the soup to fight the fire! After speaking, Li Yanyan and his wife bowed to Bai Lao to the end, and then turned away.
Bai Lao picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and asked without being salty or light: "Where are you going, can you go there?"
Li Yanyan stopped but didn't turn his head and said, "Good man, the four seas are home." ”
"But your wife is a woman, and if you are a woman, you need a stable home!, and as a man, you have the responsibility to give her a home!" Bai Lao suddenly became serious.
Hearing Bai Lao's words, Li Yanyan's heart twitched, and he looked at Chen Xiuzhu with guilt.
Chen Xiuzhu hugged Tianlin a little tighter, smiled at Li Yanyan, and whispered: "The place where Brother Yan and Lin'er are is my home." ”
Looking at Chen Xiuzhu's smiling face, the guilt in Li Yanyan's eyes did not fade but became more intense, and after being silent for a while, he gritted his teeth and took Chen Xiuzhu and walked out. He didn't want to drag down Bai Lao, let alone break the peace of Taoyuan Village!
"Hmph, you don't even have the confidence to protect your own wife and children, and you dare to call yourself a man?! You can go, leave Tianlin behind, he was born in Taoyuan Village, that is the person of Taoyuan Village, we will do our best to protect the next generation in the village! If you are afraid of death, you can leave on your own, I will not stop you!" said Boss Bai.
Li Yanyan's face showed a look of struggle, turned to Tianlin and said, "Lin'er, do you want to stay here?" In fact, what he wanted to hear most was Chen Xiuzhu's opinion, but he didn't dare to ask directly. But Chen Xiuzhu didn't say anything, just kissed Tianlin's small forehead.
Tianlin pursed his small mouth and said with a serious face: "Well, I want to be with Grandpa Bai, Daddy rest assured that I will protect the village, protect Daddy and Mother, and protect everyone in the village!"
Li Yanyan's eyes were bloodshot in an instant, and he turned to Bai Lao and bowed down, and Chen Xiuzhu hurriedly followed. Bai Lao stood upright and deservedly bowed to Li Yanyan and his wife. After a bow, Li Yanyan choked up and said to Bai Lao: "If you don't dislike Bai Lao, please accept me as a righteous son, so that my wife can accompany you and fulfill the filial piety of your children!"
"Okay, good, get up, get up", said the old white man with red eyes and excitement. Bai Lao originally looked at Li Yanyan in the eyes, and Bai Lao had no children and no daughters, Li Yanyan's statement was right in the middle.
It was already close to the fourth watch, and after this farce, everyone was not sleepy, Bai Lao saw that Li Yanyan had already packed up his clothes and simply let their family move to the empty house next door, although it was a little small, there were still all the things that should be available. And knowing that Tianlin likes to eat elixirs, he took a lot of them from the pharmacy and helped Li Yanyan's family settle down before going back to rest.
Ten days later, in the early morning, the fog had not yet lifted. A knock on the door kicked off the morning. With a squeak, Li Yanyan opened the door and walked out, only to see a chubby child holding five stacked boxes, and his head was almost impossible to see from the front. When the fat boy heard the sound of the door opening, he turned his head sideways and tried to open his eyes that were squeezed together by the flesh, and after a long time, his expression finally relaxed, as if he had spent a lot of effort to see Li Yanyan.
"Good morning, Uncle Li", the fat kid said with a heartfelt smile.
"Well, good morning Xiao Dun", Li Yanyan opened the door of the courtyard and let Xiao Dun in, Xiao Dun he naturally knew, because he was the only son of the village chief Yue Ye.
It is really surprising that the body of the village chief Xiucai on a moonlit night gave birth to a butcher-like son, but this child is indeed only five years old and has the cultivation of the third level of martial arts, although he is not the top among his peers in the village, but he is also one of the best.
Li Yanyan led Xiao Dun to the hall, just as Chen Xiuzhu led Tianlin out. Xiao Dun put the boxes on the table, gasped for a few breaths, and then said to Li Yanyan and his wife: "This is what my father asked me to send to my uncle and aunt, and my father asked my uncle and aunt to go to the ancestral hall of the village immediately after freshening up." ”
Without waiting for Li Yanyan to speak, Xiao Dun trotted out with a body of fat and threw it away. But before he got out of the yard, he came back again, panting and saying to Tianlin: "You~ You are Tianlin's younger brother, remember that you will gather in the back mountain of the village in ten days, Muya issued a assembly order for the children in the village to go, remember that it is ten days later, don't forget, I will go first and inform others." ”
But Tianlin didn't look at him at all, Tianlin's eyes kept looking at the five boxes on the table, and he swallowed saliva from time to time!
Chen Xiuzhu opened the box and saw that there was a baby's fist-sized crystalline vermilion fruit lying quietly in the five boxes, Chen Xiuzhu gasped, this fruit is called Lingwan, it has no special effect, but this fruit is like a compressed product of heaven and earth energy, the whole fruit is pure energy, without any impurities.
Seeing that Tianlin's saliva was about to drip down, Chen Xiuzhu hurriedly hid these five spirit pills, it was not that Chen Xiuzhu was reluctant to let Tianlin eat them, it was really that the energy content of this thing was too amazing, and Li Yanyan only ate two of them when he hit the eighth-level martial artist.
But Tianlin is still young, and besides, he ate the elixir sent by Bai Lao last night, and he couldn't even stop it. In this case, even if Chen Xiuzhu's nerves are in the big strip, he will not give Tianlin these five spirit pills to eat.
Looking at Tianlin's flat mouth, Chen Xiuzhu couldn't help but smile and took Tianlin's hand and said to Li Yanyan, "Brother Yan, let's go." ”
Li Yanyan nodded, took Tianlin's other hand, and walked towards the ancestral hall in the village. There are a lot of people who are familiar with Li Yanyan in the past month, so many people come forward to say hello, but everyone who greeted them had to touch Tianlin's face before they were willing to leave, which made the little guy roll his eyes all the way.
Finally, I arrived at the ancestral hall Tianlin to breathe a sigh of relief, this ancestral hall is not magnificent but slightly simple, but everywhere reveals a majestic atmosphere!
Walking into the ancestral hall, there are not many tablets imaginary, but there are only more than 20, the most prominent is the stone statue on the spiritual platform, this stone statue looks plain, but the eyes have a kind of look down on the common people, even if they know that this is a stone statue, people dare not look directly.
At this time, the village chief Yueye, Bai Lao and the three old men had already arrived here.
Seeing the arrival of Li Yanyan's family, Bai Lao greeted him and said to Li Yanyan: "Yanyan, we are going to hold a simple ceremony for you to enter the village, and I will first introduce you to the three elders of the village, Wang, Sun, and Shi. As he spoke, he pulled Li Yanyan over and introduced him.
Li Yanyan also respectfully bowed to the three of them, but the three of them nodded with a serious face, as the senior leaders who protect the village, they have to be serious all the time, so as to bring a sense of security to the villagers, Li Yanyan, who was born in a famous family, knows this very well, so he didn't care about anything, but also raised a strong respect.
The ceremony of entering the village is just a formality, but it is just to worship the ancestors and make an oath. In the end, Bai Lao took Li Yanyan and his wife into the inner hall to talk about the history of Taoyuan Village, taboos and other important things. Tianlin was sent out to play.
Tianlin's eyes lit up as soon as he heard that he could go, he had been thinking about the five spirit pills, Xiao Tianlin looked at Chen Xiuzhu with an inquiring gaze.
Chen Xiuzhu lovingly touched Tianlin's little head and said, "Go, remember to go home and get something to eat when you're hungry, do you know?"
Chen Xiuzhu has thoroughly seen what it means to be a big stomach king after last night, last night Tianlin ate Bai Lao's sack of medicinal herbs in three times, that is the medicinal herbs have much more energy than ordinary food! But Chen Xiuzhu saw that he had nothing to do but let him eat.
This sentence was like a 100-meter athlete hearing the sprint command to Tianlin, and he rushed out like the wind before the words fell, until he couldn't see the figure before a "I know" floated from afar.
Tianlin ran all the way to home, because he felt that the spirit pill was not taken by Chen Xiuzhu, but hidden in the kitchen. Yes, he could really feel where the elixir was, and the aroma of the elixir was the best sign for him.
Just as he was about to get home, Tianlin, who was running wildly, suddenly stopped, and looked at the southwest of the village, his eyes lit up, and he felt that there was something more attractive to him.
Then he didn't hesitate anymore, immediately changed his direction and ran towards the southeast, accelerating all the way, and soon reached an incredible speed, and ordinary people almost saw a shadow floating by.
The location of this direction is also a small branch of the Yuyao Mountain Range, which belongs entirely to Taoyuan Village, so it is called Taoyuan Mountain Range.
In a blink of an eye, Tianlin arrived at the gate of the village wall, the gate is generally closed on weekdays, so a small gate was opened next to it for the hunting team and people who went out to run errands, but this gate was guarded by the masters of the village at all times, and there was a strict police boundary line on the periphery of the village, and it was impossible for anyone to enter and exit without the permission of the village chief!
Of course, the best are the exceptions. But today, Lin ran out in a smoke, and the guards seemed to be invisible, which was really amazing.
Tianlin entered the forest, jumping left and right like a spirit monkey, and although it was not far from the interior of the Aliga Mountains, there were not many magical beasts around the village because the hunting team in the village often hunted around, so Tianlin did not encounter any trouble all the way.
After running for half an hour, Tianlin finally saw four figures, and these four people seemed to be arguing about something. Tianlin silently jumped onto a canopy.
At a glance, the four opposites below are close to Tianlin, a man and a woman are only eight or nine years old, they are all dressed in white, a few purple patterns to dispel the monotonous color, and there is a budding peach blossom embroidered on the left shoulder.
