Chapter 426: Wutong Village
As the sun sets, the sky is filled with fiery clouds.
When he came, Zimo, Xue Ningchen, and Zicicada were three.
There were two more people when he left, Ji Zhengtian and Bai Qingqian.
The faces of the five people in the group were red from the burning clouds, and they turned around to say goodbye to Jiang Aoyou and the others who came to see them off.
Jiang Youyou and the others knew in their hearts that Zimo would take away his last concern this time, and they would see each other again for some unknown year and month.
Ten years, twenty years, or never see each other again in this life.
"Dongxu, go back, if you successfully enter the spirit infant stage, there will always be a day to meet in the future."
Jiang Aoyou patted Jiang Dongxu's shoulder, then turned around and walked towards the sect, but just after taking two steps, he paused, couldn't help but turn around again, and glanced at the slender and white-haired back of the five.
"The most promising disciple of our Baiyun Sect over the years, he is about to return to the sea and travel to the universe, how fortunate he is to be the sect master!"
Jiang Youyou had a smile on his face, flicked his sleeves and strode away.
"Senior Brother Zimo, see you again, I hope it won't be too long."
The skinny monkey clasped his hands around his chest and his face was full of anticipation.
Then he flicked his sleeves like Sect Master Jiang Youyou, but he looked a little funny and a little bleak.
------
A small mountain village in Fengming County, Yueguo, is called Wutong Village.
There are more than 60 households in this village, and the village is covered with lush plane trees.
Spring is full of greenery, and autumn is full of forests.
This is how the village of Wutong got its name.
Wutong Village is not only small, but most of the villagers are poor and poor, living without food every day.
It is said that the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, and Wutong Village is naturally indispensable to these ruffians, who are lazy to eat and drink every day.
However, a small place has the benefits of a small place, such as what happened to Wu Lao'er's family in the east of the village, and it took less than a cup of tea to reach the ears of Liu Laosan in the west of the village.
In the past few days, a small thing has happened in the only Lang Zhong family in Wutong Village.
Liu Yun's father, a well-known loser in the village, was seriously ill, and Liu Yun had already lost his family, so naturally he had no money to treat his father, so he pushed his father to Xie Jingtian's house in Langzhong with a borrowed straw cart.
When he pushed it over, Liu Yun's father was obviously delirious, and he had more air out than he had air in.
If Liu Yun did this, it was not out of filial piety, but to squeeze out the last bit of value of his father, that is, to blackmail Xie Jingtian.
Everyone knows that Xie Langzhong has had a good life over the years, and he also gave birth to a daughter with his mother, and the original son can be said to be both children and daughters.
In this way, it attracted Liu Yun's eyes, and he often wandered around Xie Jingtian's house when he had nothing to do, taking away a chicken today and a duck tomorrow.
At the beginning, Xie Jingtian had the idea that more things were better than less, so he turned a blind eye and treated it as if he didn't see it.
But when Liu Yun saw that Xie Jingtian was a bully, he began to intensify his efforts, and the chickens and ducks in their house were all gone.
This incident finally annoyed Xie Jingtian, and scolded Liu Yun in public, making him lose face, although he had no face to lose for a long time.
Since then, Liu Yun often said in front of people that Xie Jingtian had an unclean relationship with the girl in someone's family, and he also saw it with his own eyes, which can be described as a serious matter.
It is said that if there are many lies, it will come true, and this sentence naturally has its truth.
At first, those people listened to Liu Yun's words as a joke, but after a long time, some people slowly believed it.
After all, Xie Jingtian, as a langzhong, inevitably came into contact with the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the village, and Xie Jingtian naturally heard these rumors, but his mouth grew on others, and he had no choice, explaining too much made people think that he was weak-hearted, and he could only be silent.
So some people thought that he was acquiescing, and he was not as in awe of the only Lang Zhong in the village as before, and even some people would show disdain when they talked about it behind their backs.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Just the day before yesterday, Liu Yun pushed his father to Xie Jingtian's house, saying that he wanted to see his father.
Xie Jingtian didn't even take the pulse, and he could see at a glance that the old man in the car was immortal and could not be saved.
So let Liu Yun prepare for the future, he couldn't help it.
As soon as he heard this, Liu Yun stopped doing it, and jumped to his feet and scolded Xie Jingtian for wanting to curse his father to death.
Liu Yun, who used to add fists and kicks to his father on weekdays, and verbally insulted him when he was quiet, looked like a rare filial son in the world that day, kneeling on the ground and crying darkly, heartbreaking, and even almost turned his back on his back.
Coincidentally, Liu Yun's father, who was about to return to the West, saw his son with such superb acting skills, and he was so angry that he didn't mention it in one breath and died.
It can be said that he was angry to death by his own son of a loser.
It doesn't matter if he dies, this is bitter for Xie Jingtian's family.
Seeing that his father died, Liu Yun was so happy in his heart, but this time is not the time to drink and celebrate, and the business is not finished yet.
So he pointed at Xie Jingtian and said that he didn't save him when he saw death, saw his father die, and said that he was a black-hearted man or something.
Liu Yun, who doesn't know a few big characters, is talking endlessly at this moment, compared to the exit chapter of the teacher at the head of the village, which makes people look sideways.
In the end, Xie Jingtian didn't want to make a big deal about it, and in desperation, he asked Liu Yun how he could leave, and Liu Yun's eyes rolled and the lion opened his mouth to ask for a hundred taels of silver.
In Wutong Village, a family's annual expenses are only ten taels of silver, and one hundred taels is enough for a family's expenses for ten years.
Liu Yun bit one hundred taels of silver to death, and Xie Jingtian gave him a maximum of ten taels of incense from the same village.
The two sides were at a stalemate, and Liu Yun's father's body was placed in Xie Jingtian's house for three days.
In this hot season, it only takes three days for a corpse to give off a disgusting smell, let alone three days.
Liu Yun also had a kind of this time, kneeling not far from his father's corpse with his nose plugged, and he would not leave Xie Jingtian's house, which was related to his own good life in the future, and he was also determined to be on the bar with Xie Langzhong.
Xie Jingtian's family wanted to cry without tears, why did they get involved in such a situation.
In the past few days, Xie Jingtian's door can be described as very lively, and there are people watching the play at the door every day, commenting and pointing fingers, and it is not too smelly.
Today, Liu Yun finally couldn't stand it anymore.
I don't know if I can't stand the smell of my father's corpse, or if I haven't eaten enough for a few days and I'm hungry and crazy, and I began to insult Xie Jingtian's family, and I used all kinds of vicious words, and the neighbors who watched the excitement around me couldn't listen to it.
Anyway, Xie Jingtian has more or less relieved the pain of illness for each of them over the years, watching the excitement is lively, if Xie Jingtian is gone, who can they go to see when they get sick in the future?
In the end, everyone began to dissuade Liu Yun, and asked him to take the money to let his father enter the ground first, ten taels of silver is almost enough, there is no need to make trouble like this, who can guarantee that he will be free of illness and disaster in the future, sooner or later, he will ask Xie Langzhong one day.

But it was said that Zimo and his party of five people were coming to the entrance of Wutong Village at this moment.
Following the memories of his childhood, he once walked for two months, and this time, it only took an hour to return to the original place.
It's just that today's Wutong Village should be richer than it was back then, and the smell of meat that could only be smelled occasionally during the Chinese New Year has been wafted out of the pots in the two courtyards after just such a while.
Zimo took a deep breath of the taste of memory, with a look of remembrance on his face.
In some of the dilapidated streets, there are no begging people called Hanako, and some are just chasing frolicking children.
Looking at the children on the street who were looking at them curiously, their eyes were full of the way they and their sister begged for food.
Those little flowers who begged for food and stole sweet potatoes together, climbed trees and picked mountain dates, and I don't know if they survived that cold winter.
Sighing, Zimo walked towards the house of Lang Zhong, who had saved his sister.
Not long after, the five of them appeared in Xie Langzhong through several small alleys
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
of the doorstep.
What made Zimo frown slightly was that there were actually more than a dozen villagers standing at the door, and it seemed that something had happened.
When the villagers heard movement behind them, they turned around and saw two men, three women, and a group of five.
Seeing the clothes and looks of the five people, the villagers knew that these people were not ordinary people, even if they had never seen the world.
Especially the man at the head, with long and narrow sword eyebrows, eyes as bright as cold stars, and snow-white hair like snow, not only did not destroy his overall temperament, but added a bit of elegance.
The three women were as beautiful as fairies, and they didn't dare to dream of such a woman even in their dreams.
The last one is the old man, with a childish face, strong spirits, and a fairy wind and bones.
The people automatically gave way for five people to pass, and they didn't understand how their small Wutong Village could have such a fairy figure coming.
Zimo walked in the front, and he saw a middle-aged man in the courtyard with slightly white sideburns, arguing with a somewhat sloppy and obscene man, and there was a straw mat beside the sloppy man, and the straw mat wrapped a corpse, emitting a foul smell.
Frowning, Zimo closed the sweat pores of his body and came not far in front of the two.
The middle-aged man with slightly white sideburns was Xie Jingtian, he seemed to be aware of it, and turned around and happened to see the five Zimo.
After all, Xie Jingtian is a Langzhong in the village and has read a lot of books, so he said respectfully: "What is the matter with a few distinguished guests coming to the cold house?" ”
Zimo just looked at Xie Jingtian quietly, with a complicated expression.
He has been worried that after so many years, the Lang Zhong who saved his sister back then will no longer be there.
At the moment when he saw the middle-aged man in front of him, Zimo finally put his mind at ease.
Although he is much older, he is thankfully still there.
Zimo didn't speak, and the four people behind him didn't talk much.
Zician took a few steps forward sensibly and stood with Zimo.
In the incredible gaze of everyone behind him, Zimo and Zi Chan, who only knelt down with their master's parents in this life, knelt on their knees and kowtowed heavily to the mortal man in front of them.
This is a thank you for saving your life.
