It took a long time for Ye Guichen to communicate with Qingqing, and he roughly understood some of the situation.

This place is a small village in the lower reaches of the big river, very far away from the Cangyun Ancient Tomb, and there are only a few authentic croppers in the whole village.

And in Qingqing's family, only she and her grandfather are left to rely on each other.

He also learned that Qingqing originally had an elder brother who loved her, but for some reason he died, and her parents became depressed and became ill, and finally committed suicide by throwing themselves into the river.

Night Guichen accidentally touched Qingqing's sadness, but he heard the fate of such a family.

"Qingqing, where is Grandpa Jiao, you take me to thank him!"

He whispered softly for a long time before the little girl calmed down, and hurriedly asked.

"Grandpa is by the river, but Brother Turtle, your injuries are not healed yet, you should lie in bed and rest, you can't come down!"

Qingqing shook her head without hesitation and refused.

Night Guichen is full of black lines, he said that he was heavy enough, but how long has it been since he became the big brother turtle in the mouth of the little girl?

But he really couldn't find a reason to worry about a little girl, so he could only keep telling himself: Tong Yan is unscrupulous!

"I'm almost fine, let alone walking, even if I climb trees and dig birds' nests."

In order to prove to the little girl that he was not lying, Ye Guichen jumped on the spot a few times after getting out of bed, jumping several feet high.

"Huh?"

Qingqing was dumbfounded, only to feel that the eldest brother turtle that his grandfather picked up was a monster, and when he was dying in the morning, he was alive and well in the afternoon.

"Well, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"Hmm!"

"Then you take me to Grandpa Jiao?"

"Okay!"

Out of the room, Ye Guichen saw that Qingqing's house had a small courtyard, and there were three low thatched huts crowded into it, except for the weeds full of life on the ground, it was difficult to see a little life.

Outside the courtyard, there are a few old locust trees swaying slightly in the wind.

The situation of other families in the village is similar, almost all of them are surrounded by walls.

Ye Guichen was still wearing Grandpa Jiao's clothes, which didn't fit, he wanted to take out new clothes from the space ring and put them on, but he was worried that for the little girl, it would be too shocking, so he had to give up.

"Qingqing, are you out?"

"I'm going to see your grandfather again!"

"The young man next to you can't be the one that Lao Jiao saved from the river in the morning, right?"

"He's really not dead, it seems that the young man's life is hard, and he won't even accept Hades!"

“……”

Along the way, uncles and aunts greeted Qingqing from time to time, and Ye Guichen has become a monster in the eyes of everyone, and he will always be judged a few words.

He doesn't go to his heart, and communicates with every villager enthusiastically, those are kind and simple croppers!

Finally, the two met a fat aunt who was about forty years old.

The aunt carried a basket full of greens, apparently busy for dinner.

"Hello Aunt Zhang!"

Qingqing has a sweet mouth, and she is cute, and it seems that the whole village likes her very much.

"Ouch, isn't this a green girl?"

Aunt Zhang smiled: "When I came back, I saw your grandfather sitting by the river from a distance, he is already a lot old, you have to persuade him, the river breeze is very cold in the morning and evening, be careful of the wind cold." ”

"We in the poor countryside, if we really have some kind of disease, there is no other way but to wait for death."

"I remembered Aunt Zhang!" Qingqing nodded sensibly.

"Hey, this kid is...... Did he really wake up? ”

Aunt Zhang seems to have only seen the night return at this moment.

"Yes, Brother Turtle not only woke up, but even the wounds on his body were mysteriously healed, and I also saw him jump three feet high." Qingqing's tone was quite proud, as if she had picked up a favorite toy.

"Huh?"

Aunt Zhang's eyes lit up, and she suddenly said amazingly: "I think I can ask your grandfather to recruit him as his grandson-in-law." ”

"Ahh

The little girl didn't understand the meaning of her grandson's son-in-law's representative, and wondered, "Why?" ”

"Qingqing, listen to me."

Aunt Zhang's next words can be described as gushing: "The young man was swept into the river by a flash flood, and he was injured like that and he didn't die, which shows that he is strong and strong." ”

"If your Jiao family accepts him, not only can you help do some hard work and improve your livelihood, but Qingqing's future life events will also be settled."

"And, from the aunt's point of view, the young man is quite honest and honest, and he should be a reliable person."

"What's more, he can't be a few years older than you, this matter will definitely be done!"

Ye Guichen was dumbfounded, where the hell is this, he just saw the fat aunt for the first time, and the other party actually began to work for him?

Qingqing was a little confused, and her big eyes were full of doubts: "I don't understand what you said, Aunt Zhang, you have to ask my grandfather." ”

The fat aunt was very satisfied, and left happily, not forgetting to instruct before leaving: "It's okay Qingqing, I'll talk to your grandfather in person when I go back!" ”

When there were only two people left, Qingqing suddenly asked, "Brother Turtle, are you willing to be my grandfather's grandson-in-law?" ”

"Ahem......"

Ye Guichen hurriedly said: "Qingqing, don't listen to Aunt Zhang's nonsense, she made a joke when she saw that you were unhappy, don't mention this matter to Grandpa Jiao." ”

"Oh!"

The little girl seemed to understand whether she understood or not.

It is estimated that in her heart, "grandpa's grandson-in-law" is just a title, which may refer to the person who helped his grandfather.

After tea time, the two finally came to the river.

After a torrential rain, the river rose a lot, and it became so muddy that no one wanted to stop and admire it.

But not far from the river, there was an old man with gray hair, who sat directly on the ground, staring at the murky river and not moving.

The old man's face was full of wrinkles, his palms were cracked, he looked weather-beaten, and his robe had more patches than blue.

"Grandpa, I'm bringing Big Brother Turtle here."

It was still far away, and Qingqing shouted.

"Oh!"

The old man turned his head slowly, his face unconsciously had a touch of warmth, and when he saw the night return, a trace of strange color flashed in the depths of the hole, and he returned to calm in an instant.

"The boy returns at night, thank you Grandpa Jiao for saving his life!"

Ye Guichen stepped forward with Qingqing, respectfully saluted the old man, and said solemnly.

"I'm just carrying you back from the shore, and I don't have the money to heal you, it's your own life that you can live, don't thank me."

The old man replied lightly, not taking the matter to heart in the slightest.

"What did Grandpa Jiao say, if it weren't for your help, I might not have survived!"

Ye Guichen was a little surprised, although the old man's eyes were cloudy, he looked like a master who could break through the world, and when he communicated with him, there was no emotional fluctuation.

This time, the old man didn't bother to answer, but just shook his head at him.

The next thing was Qingqing talking about some homely things, the old man nodded sometimes in a daze, and half an hour passed, and what he said didn't answer Ye Guichen's sentence.

After returning to the night to express his gratitude, he left some gold and silver for the Qingqing family to improve their lives, so he said goodbye and left; However, the old man's attitude made him a little confused, and he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth several times.

When he and Qingqing went home, the little girl invited the old man to join him, but the latter shook his head and refused.

It wasn't until it was late that the old man staggered and staggered back.

The dinner for three was very simple, with only half a bowl of gruel and a small plate of greens.

After dinner, Ye Guichen and Qingqing cleaned up the spare grass hut a little, and simply spread some hay, which became his temporary residence.

He didn't practice that night, and he was thinking about what to do next.

In the end, he decided to talk about it in a few days, as long as his injuries healed and his state returned to his peak, it would be the moment when he would storm the ninth order of the Cave Void Realm.
