Chapter 303: The Old Man and the Green Ox

It was getting dark, and all the villagers rushed home to prepare dinner, leaving only a few children and some old people to talk to Xing Yu, but Xing Yu was already a little absent-minded, and his eyes swept the sky outside the village from time to time.

In his sight, he did not see the sun set, the moon rising, the blue sky and white clouds during the day, and a few stars twinkling in the sky in the evening.

Just as Xing Yu was casually looking at the sky, some farmers in the field had already rushed back one after another, and they were also very surprised when they saw Xing Yu talking to the old people.

And at this moment, behind the crowd, an old man with a hat rode back from the field slowly, only when he saw Xing Yu, his eyes were still flat, and he was not as surprised as others.

Xing Yu naturally also felt the old man's gaze, and his gaze swept over the green ox under him to reveal a different color.

The old man looked at Xing Yu and nodded, the green ox under his crotch made a heavy sound, and milky white gas erupted from his nose, and he looked very strong.

After the old man greeted Xing Yu, he took the green ox to the well, fetched a bucket of water, and then took off his shoes and began to wash. The young man came to the well alone and lay lazily on the ground, bowing his head and gnawing on the grass, his tail shaking boredly to drive away mosquitoes.

Xing Yu and the old man beside him said a few perfunctory words, and then walked to the well, casually found a piece of bluestone and sat down, looking at the old man who was taking a shower and washing, and had nothing to say.

"The younger generation used to pass by a place called Woniu Town, and it is rumored that there was a green cow in that place before, and it was also cultivated to the essence. ”

When saying this, Xing Yu deliberately paused, and his eyes swept over the green cow that was grazing not far away, but found that the green cow had raised his head at some point, pricked up his ears, and even forgot to chew the grass in his mouth, and his tail stood in the air like a stick.

Seeing Xing Yu glance at him, the young man continued to chew, his tail shook from side to side, returning to his lazy appearance just now, but his ears never fell.

Xing Yu retracted his gaze and continued: "The people in the town said that the green cow was very powerful, and after a big battle with the demons in the town, he left with an old man, and then he didn't know what happened. ”

As he said this, the green ox not far away let out a moult and wagged its tail even more.

"Yes, that green cow may have been eaten by the old way. After the old man finished rinsing, he poured the cold water in the wooden barrel on the green cow on the side, and then put down the wooden barrel and perfunctory Xing Yu absentmindedly.

The green cow that was grazing was drenched with a soup chicken, its green hair was wet, its ears were hanging down, its tail was not shaking, it was lying on the ground with its head down, and it didn't even eat grass.

"The younger generation just thinks it's ......"

"Come and eat, young man. ”

Xing Yu wanted to say something, but at this time, a village woman happened to be cooking, holding an iron spoon in one hand, and pushing open the door with the other hand and shouting to Xing Yu.

"Let's go, let's eat, I want to smell the beef broth." ”

The old man wiped his arms with a sackcloth, stood up and glared at the green ox, turned and walked towards the stone table in the courtyard.

"Mu ......"

The corners of Xing Yu's mouth raised slightly, and he followed behind.

The stone table is very large, after the people who came back from the field washed up, almost everyone opened the door, took out the home-cooked vegetables from the kitchen, the children who were tired of playing chattered around, the old man put down the cigarette pouch, several middle-aged strong men were responsible for serving the meal, and the whole village was eating together, talking and laughing was very lively.

Xing Yu quickly blended in, mingling with this group of simple villagers, and even children frolicked with him after getting acquainted, although there was no delicious food, but they also ate happily and happily.

After the meal, the women cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, the young people prepared hoes for tomorrow's field, the old people were too old to stay up late, and several children were still frolicking around Xing Yu, and the old man glanced at Xing Yu.

"The old man is old, so he won't chat with your little friend at night, you can do it yourself. ”

After that, the old man returned to the wooden house, and the window reflected the figure of the old man lying down, and after a short time there was a snoring sound, perhaps tired after a day, a little tired.

Xing Yu stood up and looked up at the night sky, as darkness fell, there were more stars in the night sky, flickering with a faint light, because there was no moon, it was very dark in the village, and there was not even a light.

When Xing Yu lowered his head, the children around him had disappeared, and only him and the sleeping green cow by the well were left in the entire courtyard.

Xing Yu didn't feel sleepy, turned around and walked to the village, there was no one alive anymore, and the houses were very silent, it seemed that there was no one inside, the whole village was terrible, even chickens, ducks, geese and dogs had no sound, only the old man's snoring could be faintly heard.

Xing Yu felt strange, so he flew to the sky above the village, and when he looked down, he found that the village was not without a little light, and there were three candles flickering. The middle one was the room where the old man was.

The other two, one on the left and one on the right, were also in the house, but no one else was in sight.

And through the reflection of these three lights, Xing Yu vaguely saw the whole picture of the village, a few acres of fields, a few farmhouses, a well, a small river, a few mulberry trees, distributed in different locations, it looks very incongruous, but it touches and feels very reasonable.

In particular, the three candles in the night are like the finishing touch, making this quiet little village look very comfortable and harmonious, and it looks very comfortable.

Xing Yu's figure stood in the night sky, looking down at the whole village, this look, it was a night, when the three clusters of candles were already in the west, the sky was glowing with misty light, the village was revitalized, and people came out of the hut one after another.

The old people who got up early started their morning exercises after washing, the children who were lying in bed shouted that they didn't want to pan, the women were busy preparing breakfast, and the middle-aged people took tools to the fields after a simple breakfast.

Xing Yu returned to the village, heard the crowing of chickens and the barking of dogs in his ears, and took a deep breath.

At this moment, the old man walked out of the house, glanced at Xing Yu lightly, and asked, "Did Xiaoyou sleep well last night?"

Xing Yu nodded and smiled, "Great." ”

"I was so tired yesterday that I fell asleep when I lay down, do you remember if I turned off the lights?" the old man had already reached the young man's side when he spoke, and kicked the green cow's ass that was still sleeping.

"The seniors didn't turn off the lights, not only did you forget, but there were also two people who forgot. Xing Yu replied respectfully.

"Look at my memory, hey, I'm old, I don't use it. The old man patted his head, said a little embarrassed, and then suddenly looked at Xing Yu and asked, "Didn't anything happen last night?"

"Nope. Xing Yu shook his head: "The seniors have been watching the candle last night, and nothing happened. ”

"That's good, that's good. The old man led the young man out of the village and continued his day's work.

The young man was reluctantly led by the old man, looked up at Xing Yu when he passed by, and then continued to bow his head and hurry, his tail flicked high and 'accidentally' on Lu Fan's buttocks, and then mooed, and left very proudly.

Xing Yu rubbed his buttocks, looked at the departing old man and Qingniu, shook his head with a wry smile, and his body gradually dissipated.

In the dilapidated Taoist temple, Xing Yu woke up from his sitting cross-legged, the heavy rain outside had stopped for some time, the cicadas began to chirp, the sound of falling water came from the eaves, the air was filled with the smell of freshness, and the bronze statue in front of him was still rusty.

Xing Yu moved his body, then looked at the bronze statue with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said to himself: "Living in his own world, he doesn't want to come out, he obviously created the world in his mind, but he gave up the sun and the moon, is this to alert himself?"

"What a quirky guy. Xing Yu shook his head, and when he turned around, his aura skyrocketed, and he reached the late ninth level overnight.

After cultivating for a breakthrough, Xing Yu was not too excited, and took a step to open his mouth and take a prominent breath.

One gasification and three clearing!
