When everyone returned to the village, it was completely dark, and the villagers didn't know about the water ghost being subdued, so the village was still silent.

There was no light in the house, and it was pitch black, indicating that grandpa was not at home, and Zhou Chu's last hope was dashed, in fact, in the afternoon, Lin Yuwei and Baili Mufeng talked to each other, when he already knew the answer, but he just refused to admit it, but Zhou Chu understood that Uncle Wu Zi and others might not know the details of his grandfather's murder, and asking would only increase each other's sadness, so it was better not to ask, so he decided not to ask about his grandfather from now on.

Uncle Wu Zi lit the oil lamp, everything in the house was the same, but there was no grandfather, although Zhou Chu pretended to be strong, but he was sad when he saw things, and tears almost fell, Uncle Wu Zi sat on the stool he sat on in the afternoon and did not speak.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside.

Sun Yuandao and Ying'er carried a lantern into the house, Sun Yuandao carried two small jars of rice in his hand, Ying'er went to the cabinet to take out the dishes and chopsticks, and after a while, the meal was placed: one meat, one vegetarian and two steamed buns, although not hearty, but also Zhou Chu's usual favorite food, it seems that Ying'er should be specially prepared for Zhou Chu, Zhou Chu wanted to say thank you and felt redundant and did not speak.

"At the beginning of the week, hurry up and eat, it's still hot. Ying'er pushed the dishes and chopsticks in front of Zhou Chu, her voice revealed the tenderness of care, Zhou Chuchu thought that although he had a bad fate, it was his luck to be able to get the sincere care of these people.

The effect of the Baicao Chendan that he ate in the afternoon of the beginning of Zhou had not been completely eliminated, and he was worried and sad at this time, and he had no appetite at all, but seeing Ying'er's pitiful appearance, he couldn't bear to worry her, so he took the chopsticks and reluctantly ate it.

Everyone else watched Zhou Chu eat, they didn't know what to say, the room was silent for a while, only the sound of Zhou Chu chewing steamed buns quietly, the dim kerosene lamp dangling, and the silence in the room was a little depressing.

Zhou Chu barely finished chewing a steamed bun, and he didn't want the house to be so dull, so he forced a smile and said: "I'm very lucky today, Brother Baili Mufeng gave me an elixir called Baicao Chendan in the afternoon, saying that it is an elixir that nourishes and nourishes qi, and now I still feel panicked in my stomach, so I can't eat the food, it's definitely not that the food made by Uncle Zhou is not palatable, it's better to put these meals here and wait for me to eat them when I'm hungry in the middle of the night." ”

The three of them thought that Zhou Chu would be sad and sad, and they were all thinking about how to comfort him, but they didn't expect to be so self-relieved, and they didn't ask a word about their grandfather, but they didn't know what to do.

In the afternoon, rumors spread in the village that the village chief had died.

Some people said that the fat Taoist priest ran away with the money, and the village chief didn't know how to explain to everyone, so he went to Baishui Lake alone to ask the water god for an explanation, and ended up with his life......

It is also said that the village chief and the Taoist chief were killed by the water ghost when they cast a spell to subdue demons in the white water......

Some people also say that the Taoist priest was a water ghost in Baishui Lake, and killed his grandfather to warn the villagers......

......

In short, in any case, the village chief, like those who were killed by the water ghosts, did not see anyone dead or corpse, so they all believed that the village chief had been killed by the water ghosts......

Uncle Wu Zi has been thinking about how to tell Zhou Chu about this, but now that Zhou Chu seems to have understood and accepted his grandfather's matter, he can't help but feel that Zhou Chu is so mature......

The day he had just experienced was too long for Zhou Chu, and two big things happened to him at the same time: he lost his grandfather, who had loved him the most since he was a child, and at the same time, he also lost the immortal fruit in his body, but he never had the opportunity to cultivate immortals again......

These two major events made Zhou Chu mature all of a sudden.

Ying'er finally couldn't help but turn her face away and sobbed quietly, and Ying'er's sobbing made the atmosphere a little sad.

Uncle Wu Zi wanted to persuade but didn't know how to persuade him, but Zhou Chu took the initiative to change the topic, and said with a smile: "Those three immortals in the afternoon are from Qingxuan Dao, they will come to our town in three days to pick a disciple of the sect, Brother Yuandao, I think you will definitely choose." ”

Although Sun Yuandao was looking forward to this very much, he was more sad for Zhou Chu at this time, so he was not too excited, he only knew that Zhou Chu had lost his grandfather at this time, but he didn't know that Zhou Chu had also lost the immortal fruit and immortal fate in his body, otherwise he would definitely be even more sad and sad for him.

"I hope so, let's go together when the time comes, and we can take care of it in the future, we can take care of it for ...... in the future" Sun Yuandao hurriedly stopped talking, although Zhou Chu understood what he wanted to say, he just pretended not to care.

"What was the afternoon?" asked Uncle Wu Zi.

At the beginning of the week, he told the three of them in detail how to find his grandfather in the afternoon, how he was almost killed by the charm of the water ghost, and how he was rescued by Lin Yuwei and Baili Mufeng, but he did not say anything about his loss of the fairy fruit.

Hearing what Zhou Chu said about this adventure, the three of them felt surprised and surprised.

"There is such a strange thing, Zhou Chu, you are so lucky, if it weren't for the two immortals you said, we wouldn't have seen you......" Ying'er showed a sweet smile, and Zhou Chu was a little relieved to see her care so much.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have invited any liar Taoist. Sun Yuan said angrily.

Uncle Wu Zi knew that Zhou Chu's words were never exaggerated, and he himself had seen those three Qingxuan Dao cultivators with his own eyes in the afternoon, so he believed what Zhou Chu said.

"It seems that the water ghosts in Whitewater Lake have really been subdued, and I will inform the villagers tomorrow. ”

"Well, everything is back to normal again. Ying'er nodded.

"Okay, it's not early, Zhou Chu should be tired after going through so much, let's talk about it later, I'll spend the night with Zhou Chu here tonight, you go back and rest first." Uncle Wu Zi stopped everyone's conversation.

Sun Yuandao stood up, picked up the lantern and lit the candle, Ying'er also got up, and the two went out of the house together and went home separately.

Zhou Chu saw that Uncle Wu Zi took the initiative to stay with him, and his heart was very warm, this night was destined to be a sad and difficult night for him, and it would definitely be better to have Uncle Wu Zi here, so Zhou Chu was not polite to Uncle Wu Zi.

Uncle Wu Zi went to boil some hot water, and brought a large basin of hot water to Zhou Chu to wash his face and feet, Zhou Chu remembered that Lin Yuwei's handkerchief was still tied to his ankle, he hurriedly took off the handkerchief, and carefully washed it with the hot water in the basin several times.

Looking at Lin Yuwei's handkerchief, Zhou Chu couldn't help but feel sad again, the two of them love themselves so much, but unfortunately they don't have the fate to cultivate immortals with them, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to see each other again.

Sometimes what is more painful than loss is that it is close at hand but fleeting.

The mountain village in the middle of the night is quiet, you can almost hear the sound of needles falling, Uncle Wu Zi is lying on the outside of the bed, Zhou Chu'an is lying quietly against the wall, he has been lying on this bed with his grandfather since he was a child, in the dark, Uncle Wu Zi suddenly whispered to Zhou Chu: "Chu'er, you are also older, you will follow me to learn fishing and hunting in the future......"

"Hmm. Zhou Chu whispered.

Zhou Chu understood what Uncle Wu Zi was talking about, and he also expected that his grandfather had entrusted himself to him, and Zhou Chu suddenly thought of what Elder Jinghai told him in the evening: "It's not a good thing to live a peaceful life." ”

Hey, let's do it in the future, follow Uncle Wu Zi and be an excellent farmer like him.

Uncle Wu didn't say anything more, turned his face and soon fell asleep, snoring.

Although Zhou Chu felt very tired, but his mind was messy and he couldn't sleep at all, he pillowed his hands behind his head, and looked at the bright moon in the night sky through the window, it seemed that he hadn't seen such a bright moon for a long time, the moon was as round as a silver basin, but the full moon people would not be round anymore, thinking of this, tears couldn't help but flow down again.

Zhou Chu hurriedly stopped his tears, he told himself in his heart: I can't shed tears casually in the future, I will live alone from tomorrow, I can't be willful, I can't lose my temper casually, I have to be a brave and upright person like my grandfather and Uncle Wuzi, because my grandfather is watching me from the sky, and Lin Yuwei and Baili Mufeng, two good people, must not let them down......

I don't know when I fell asleep, I thought I would have nightmares after falling asleep, but to my surprise, there was no nightmare this night, and I didn't even wake up in the middle, and I slept steadily for six or seven hours, until the hot sun shone on him at noon and woke him up.

At the beginning of the week, I got up and washed the water in the tank first, washed and washed cleanly, and then went to the wardrobe to find a clean white dress to wear.

As soon as he finished cleaning up, Sun Yuandao walked into the courtyard with Xiaoshi and others, and Sun Yuandao knew when he saw him dressed like this.

"At the beginning of the week, let's hurry up to the lake to see the excitement, Uncle Wu Zi led the villagers to prepare to go fishing, it has not been so lively for a long time. Sun Yuandao said with a smile.

Zhou Chu nodded and followed them towards Whitewater Lake.

At this time, the villagers all gathered at the ferry full of fishing boats on the shore of Baishui Lake, and the crowd was very lively.

Uncle Wu Zi and Da Niu are standing on a fishing boat and are announcing to the villagers that the water ghost has been subdued, the villagers are still hard to believe for a while, even if they believe it, most of them are half-believed, Uncle Wu Zi knows that it takes a process to let the villagers go to the lake to fish with complete peace of mind, so he doesn't explain too much, shouting, Da Niu uses the oar to make a little harder, and the fishing boat floats towards the center of the lake......

Some young villagers were bolder, and when they saw that Uncle Wu Zi had caught so many fish, they were envious and itchy, so they couldn't care too much, and shouted and got on the fishing boat to fish, and for a while the Baishui Lake was lively again, and Uncle Wu Zi had a smile on his face, he knew that it would not be long before the village would return to normal.

Zhou Chu thought that grandpa would be very happy if he saw this scene.

Sun Yuandao gently patted Zhou Chu's shoulder and motioned him to go with him, the two walked through the crowd and found Ying'er, the three of them walked along the lake shore and walked to a quiet place, Sun Yuandao said rightly:

"In the morning, I discussed with Ying'er, we will go to the town tomorrow morning, and live in Ying'er's crude medicine shop first, you can simply pack up and go with us tonight. ”

Zhou Chu didn't know how to answer and was silent and didn't respond.

"Well, my grandfather also agreed with me to give it a try, but I don't know if my father and mother will stop it, but grandpa said that it is the glory of the family to be included in the door by Qingxuandao, so I don't think they should stop it......"

"I saw those three immortals yesterday and I realized how stupid we are......"

......

The more Sun Yuandao and Ying'er talked, the happier they became, and they threw Zhou Chu aside, and the more Zhou Chu listened, the more irritated he became, and couldn't help but interrupt them and said, "I'm not going, you can go." ”

At the beginning of the week, although the business was small, it was very resolute.

Sun Yuandao and Ying'er thought that now that they had no grandfather's bonds, Zhou Chu would be very willing to go, but they didn't expect him to be so decisive.

"Are you afraid that you won't be elected, it's okay, if you can't choose, you should join in the fun. Ying'er said with relief.

Although Zhou Chu pretended to be strong, he was now full of depression and couldn't confide in them, and seeing that both of them were leaving the village, it might be difficult to see each other again in the future, and he could only stay here to be a village man......

In fact, if Zhou Chu hadn't met Lin Yuwei and the other immortal cultivators yesterday, maybe he wouldn't have felt anything bad about spending his life in the village, but seeing them live such a chic and wonderful life, how could he not be envious in his heart, and he also knew that he could have cultivated immortals but was buried by the water ghost......

For a while, Zhou Chu's indignation and sadness gathered, and all thoughts were lost, and finally he couldn't help but roar angrily: "If you don't go, you don't go, you just go!"

After Zhou Chu finished speaking, he shook his hand and left, Sun Yuandao and Ying'er thought that Zhou Chu was sad about his grandfather's affairs and wanted to persuade him later.
