About a moment or so, Ning Chen and the two finally came to the small pavilion where they were resting when they set off, looking at their village from afar, the two of them really relaxed, Ning Hui, who was already exhausted, sat on the stone slab with no image, and took out the wine gourd that was placed here when he took it, first drank it in a big gulp, and then handed it to Ning Chen, Ning Chen also had a dry throat and smoked at this time, and after taking it, he also drank it in a big gulp, and the hot wine poured down his throat into his stomach, making him look straight.

Looking at Ning Chen, who was drinking like drinking at this time, Ning Hui's eyes kept scanning the surroundings. Then he asked in a casual tone, "Brother Ning, are you going to see the village chief with me now, or will you go together tomorrow." ”

Ning Chen, who was drinking, was stunned for a moment, and then replied indifferently: "If you want to go, I won't see that big black face." Then he solemnly handed the wooden box in his right hand to Ning Hui and said, "Ah Hui, remember to give this thing to him with your own hands." ”

"Got it, got it. Ning Hui replied a little impatiently, his eyes were a little wandering, as if he was thinking about something.

Ning Chen looked at his brother's appearance, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Separated the prey he was carrying and handed Ning Hui an extra one, he always felt a little guilty about hiding the fairy water from his brother.

Ning Hui didn't take it, but shouted a little funny: "Okay, you Ning Chen, didn't you just start making a joke on you, I want to marry you, if you don't want to, forget it, and now you still want to exhaust me to death?" The village chief's house can be at the entrance of the village, I still have to take one more box, so that the master is not stupid." Anyway, he didn't care about Ning Chen, and picked up the less part by himself. "These prey will be recorded in your house first, and when my boy has finished eating, he will go to your house. Then he left with a smile.

Ning Chen looked at Ning Hui, who was walking away quickly and not letting him chase after him, and his heart was moved. Without saying much, he carried his prey and walked home.

When I got home, I found that my wife was waiting in front of the hall, hurriedly dropped the prey, stepped forward to help Zhang Yao, and said: "Didn't you let you rest in bed, it's so cold, just gave birth to a good boy for our Ning family, if you are sick, I don't want my boy to complain about him in the future." ”

"Poof" Zhang Yao smiled and said: "You, just be poor, I didn't make snow, but I waited for you at home for a while, begging for peace of mind, and it won't melt away, the meal is ready." ”

"Hehe, my wife is good, that kid didn't make trouble. Ning Chen asked with a hippie smile.

"Don't worry, she's very well-behaved. It's not like you're secretly going up the mountain again, let's go eat first," Zhang Yao said helplessly when she saw her husband, who had been smiling with a shy face since he entered the door.

Ning Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his wife who was calm at the moment, and then said, "I'd better go and worship first." After speaking, he walked to the ancestral hall, saying that it was an ancestral hall, but in fact, it was just a secluded small room, which enshrined the tablets of Ning Chen's ancestors, which was the only request that Ning Chen made when he was driven out. Although the Ning clan lives here, ordinary people in the clan should be invited to the ancestral hall when they die, but for some reason, the Ning Chen family is only worshipping at home. After Ning Chen cleaned his hands, he respectfully put on 3 pillars of fragrance.

"Father, Chen'er is doing very well now, your ancestors are above, Chen'er is also a person who wants to be a father, and I don't embarrass my ancestors. Thinking of the little doll that his wife gave birth to some time ago, a smile appeared on his face, "This child thinks of her mother, who is better looking than me, and will definitely be able to find a good family in the future." At this time, Ning Chen didn't see him behind him, and his wife, who was hiding behind the door, breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person was happy.

There were several tablets on a small offering table, and somehow, one of them was empty, and in the center was a jade-like talisman that looked like a jade, not a jade. This talisman is covered with azure, written in a kind of golden text that Ning Chen has never seen, it is said that earlier, there was a faint brilliance, but now it has become like a mortal thing, and I don't know if the years have worn out all its spirituality, because it has been enshrined for 600 years, during which it has also protected the Ning family and expelled the ghost fox. Ning Chen, as usual, first offered incense to the tablet, and then buckled his head, but found that the enshrined jade talisman actually emitted a very faint fluorescence, and the cold blue light was not brighter than the dim flame next to him, but it made Ning Chen's heart also cold. According to ancestral legend, this jade talisman will only react when demons and evil things are approaching, but today it is lit up.

"Bang, bang, bang" At this time, there were several knocks on the door from outside, and the clear sound seemed to be able to enter people's hearts.

"Brother Chen, is there anyone knocking on the door outside? From the back room, Zhang Yao's gentle inquiring voice and voice and baby's crying sound. Ning Chen hurriedly walked into the hall and said to his wife in the back room, "Ah Yao, you have heard me, this cold and snowy place, how can there be anyone outside, let me say ......" "Bang, bang" At this time, there was a more urgent knock on the door.

"Brother Chen, there are indeed people outside, knock on the door, you see, a few days ago, the third uncle said that he was going to come to give Niuniu a genealogy, maybe the third uncle is coming, let's open the door first and let him in." Seeing that Zhang Yao, who was coaxing her child at this time, seemed to want to get up and open the courtyard door outside, Ning Chen hurriedly urged: "Little ancestor, don't move, take the child with peace of mind, I'll take a look." Hearing a knock on the door that continued, "Don't knock, wait, come." Ning Chen hurriedly walked out of the hall and came to the small courtyard, only to find that the snow had already stopped, and when he saw this small courtyard full of snow, he muttered to himself who would come to his house at this time. After taking a deep breath, he opened the courtyard door.

At this time, I saw a very imposing strange young man standing outside the door, this person had sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a three-point evil aura on his face, a brocade robe, dragon and tiger patterns entwined, and a cloth bag in his left arm, with a trace of fishy fragrance on his body. Ning Chen glanced outside, and saw only dim lights in the distance, and calm snow as far as the eye could see, quiet and almost oppressive. Accompanied by caution, he said: "This, little brother, look at the eyes, is he lost in the mountains?"

The man didn't rush to answer, his right hand was lightly clenched into a fist, pressed against his lips, and coughed, and then introduced himself: "In Xia Yang Yuntian, the people of Sichuan and Shu, because of their travel here, they have exhausted their entanglements, and they hope to stay overnight when they ask here." ”

Ning Chen replied with a cautious smile: "The small courtyard is simple, not to mention that the inner child has just been produced, it is not suitable to meet guests, the status of the guest is noble, it is better to go to the village head's house to rest." ”

"Your Excellency, are you going to let Yang get started?" At this time, the person's brows furrowed, as if he had a sense of displeasure, his eyes stared at Ning Chen, but Ning Chen at this time felt great pressure, this feeling reminded him of the first time he went up the mountain to hunt with the third uncle in the village when he was a teenager, and he was alone in the face of the old white-eyed big worm. Just when Ning Chen's expression changed slightly, thinking in his heart, and preparing to excuse himself, the cloth bag in the young man's arms turned slightly, and a slight cry came. interrupted the confrontation between the two, and it turned out that the cloth bag turned out to be a baby's swaddling clothes. At this time, Yang Yuntian's momentum also relaxed with the sound of crying, and said to Ning Chen in a slightly difficult voice: "Yang has only begged for someone once in his life, this is the second time he has spoken, this child has not eaten a few mouthfuls of milk since he was born, I think he is extremely hungry, since Mrs. Zun has just given birth, can she feed this child a few mouthfuls of milk and water first." If you are not sure, you can wait here. Ahem"

Ning Chen looked at the young man named Yang Yuntian carefully, as if he wanted to see him through, and at this time, the young man opposite also looked at him without dodging, and Ning Chen saw a trace of helplessness in his eyes at this time. When I saw the child with curly and soft hair and closed eyes, I couldn't help but think of the daughter in my wife's arms. At this moment, a fresh breeze was blowing, and the snow on the small branches in the yard was indeed blown down and rustled. Ning Chen finally sighed lightly, chose to back down, and said sideways: "Come in, the wind and snow are not small today, don't freeze the child." "Eventually I got out of the way. Ning Chen didn't know whether it was right or wrong to do this, but he felt a lot more relaxed suddenly, although the man in front of him was very strange and uneasy, but when he saw the tightly wrapped little thing, he still felt pity for a while for no reason, maybe this is what the older generation said.
