Chapter 11: The Village
The family sat together warmly, Ah Yue went to the kitchen to bring food, and when she saw that there was a roast chicken, she didn't wash her hands first and pulled down a chicken wing, and she was happy.
Ah Yue looked at it and quipped: "Son, you are really greedy, greedy children can't marry a beautiful daughter-in-law when they grow up." ”
"Then I won't marry a daughter-in-law, just live with Daddy and Ah Yue's mother. As he spoke, he jumped off his stool before going to the kitchen to wash his hands.
As soon as these words came out, Old Man Ye and Ah Yue were amused.
Ah Yue noticed the book and wooden sword that Yiye put on the table, so she asked the old man Ye the reason, and after learning the situation, he was secretly surprised in his heart, and said: "If it is really a fairy fate, it is also a blessing for our family, if not, there is no need to force it, the family lives happily together, and it is very good to be plain and bland, isn't it."
Old man Ye didn't expect Ah Yue to be so indifferent, ordinary people must be excited when they learn about such an opportunity, whether it is true or not, they will definitely carefully examine and study what they have obtained.
Old man Ye laughed and said: "That's right, Yiye is talented and intelligent, you teach him to learn to read and write, he learned so quickly at such a young age, and his mental arithmetic ability is even more amazing, he will definitely become a great character when he grows up, why bother thinking about the ethereal fairy fate, our family's peaceful and ordinary life is the most real." ”
As soon as Ah Yue was about to answer, Yiye immediately came to the dining table from the kitchen and said to Ah Yue: "Ah Yue's mother, what are you and Daddy talking about me?"
Ah Yue smiled: "We, we are saying that our family knows how to make girls happy at a young age, you see, the big white rabbit in the cage, I heard that you are going to give it to Xiaoqing tomorrow." ”
Yiye blushed suddenly, counted his two little hands on his chest, and said, "It's not, it's ???? It's that I didn't go to play with her today, this is to make amends for her, Mother Ayue, didn't you educate me to understand etiquette. ”
"Hahahaha. The laughter of the family echoed in the bamboo forest, and the joy and lights in the bamboo house were even more warm in the already dark night.
"Oh, Mother Ah Yue, you lied to me, and said that the chicken I ate yesterday was the last chicken in our family, so what is this. Kazuha muttered.
"Stupid, I'm talking about the last hen, and there's a rooster, well, that's it. Ah Yue replied with a smile, touching Yiye's little head lovingly.
The family finished the meal happily, and fell asleep plainly but happily, looking forward to the arrival of tomorrow. This kind of life, even immortals should be envious.
This night Yiye slept very sweetly.
The sun came to this bamboo forest from the top of the mountain as promised, and the gentle brilliance sprinkled a little light on the ground like a waterfall through the gap between the bamboo leaves, and the busy day will start again from this moment.
Ah Yue has always had a good habit of getting up early, for her, it is a great happiness to see their two fathers and sons get up late every day to eat the breakfast they made for them.
"Yiye, get up soon, finish eating, Daddy will take you into the city today. Ah Yue shouted into the house.
"Mother Ah Yue, don't make any noise with me, I'll sleep for a while????????? Wait, what??!!"Wow, Ichiha jumped up from the bed, sleepless, as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.
Ah Yue heard the movement in the house, knew what was going on, didn't pay attention, brought out the breakfast, and called the old man Ye who was tying the wind and thunder beast outside the house, and the family finished breakfast beautifully.
After Ah Yue's request to come back early, the two fathers and sons set off to go down the mountain, and Yiye did not forget to take the big white rabbit with him, but left the book and wooden sword in the house.
The mountain road is actually a few miles away, otherwise Old Man Ye would not have worked hard to dig the stone steps for Ah Yue, but now the two of them have got the opportunity, Ah Yue drank more than Old Man Ye The bowl of magical water, and his age is almost as old as Old Man Ye, and it is not difficult for Ah Yue to go down the mountain, so the excavation of the mountain road stopped six years ago, after all, it is not so necessary for the time being.
Yiye ran around excitedly on the mountain road and asked, "Daddy, why do people in the village call you Old Man Ye, you are not old." ”
"Silly boy, their name is Daddy Ye Old Man, doesn't it seem that your Ah Yue's mother is younger than Daddy? Old man Ye skillfully avoided the actual reason, obviously for Yiye's question, it is estimated that he had prepared the answer a long time ago.
"Then Daddy, why don't you dig this road, the people in the village say that you have become lazy and don't love Ah Yue's mother anymore. "A leaf innocent way.
Old man Ye said angrily: "Nonsense, that's because Daddy and your Ah Yue's mother got the opportunity of immortals, so they have become younger, and they are not in a hurry to dig for the time being, just like you got the book and the wooden sword." ”
"In this way, I also think that they are all nonsense, and I will not listen to them chewing their tongues in the future. Yiye said angrily.
The two chatted and talked, and soon came to the creek village at the bottom of the mountain.
The old man of the village said that this tree symbolizes the luck of Xiaoxi Village, the big tree is full of vitality, and Xiaoxi Village is more peaceful and peaceful.
Yiye jumped up and grabbed a handful of leaves, and said with a smile: "Daddy, look." ”
"This child". Old man Ye shook his head and smiled.
As soon as the two fathers and sons entered the village, they immediately attracted everyone's attention, the wind and thunder beast led by Old Man Ye with iron chains was too conspicuous, and a few big men immediately greeted him, looking very burly, with a lot of calluses on his hands, and he seemed to be a hunter. Old man Ye also greeted him proudly, and his hand couldn't stop patting the back of the wind and thunder beast.
"Wind Thunder Beast, it's actually a Wind Thunder Beast, Old Man Ye, you have made a fortune, those girls in the village said that you and your daughter-in-law met the fairy fate six years ago and became younger, I still don't believe it, I thought you were just lucky to pick up the elixir and eat it, today this Wind Thunder Beast will not also be obtained by hitting the fairy fate." A big man came up and said, his eyes were hot but simple and immaculate, obviously just envy but not greedy.
Old man Ye also laughed to himself: "Third Brother Wang, you are also a veteran of hunting, it is all luck that I can catch this beast, I am about to go to the city to sell it for some money, no, I just arrived in the village, I want to ask you what do you want me to bring to the city by the way?"
"Good luck, good luck, I'm afraid it's worth two hundred taels of silver. A big man said that it was the little fat man Wang Hao's father.
"If I can have one hundred and fifty taels, I will sell it, Second Brother Wang, the three brothers of your Wang family have probably made a lot of money hunting in the past few years, how can I compare to you." As Old Man Ye spoke, more and more people gathered around, and they couldn't stop admiring. Let Old Man Ye be quite useful.
Yiye was looking around in the crowd, and suddenly he was overjoyed, and saw Xiaoqing and her mother standing on the side, looking at the snow-white wind and thunder beast with a smile, and a few trots came to Xiaoqing, and sent the rabbit to her arms: "For you." ”
Xiaoqing suddenly saw Yiye, and wanted to accuse him of missing the appointment with her and Wang Hao yesterday, but Yiye stuffed a big white rabbit in his arms, and couldn't help blushing, bowing his head in shame.
When Xiaoqing's mother saw it, her delicate smile opened: "Oh, Xiao Yiye, you won't fall in love with my Xiaoqing, are you here to give a dowry?" ”
When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter, making Yiye anxious and ashamed. kept stomping his feet and hurriedly said: "No, I didn't come down the mountain yesterday to play with Wang Hao's little fat man, I apologize to her." ”
Wang Hao was also in the crowd, heard Yiye's voice, squeezed over, and said to Yiye: "You're fat, I'm fat, isn't my face a little fatter, and ah, you give Xiaoqing Rabbit, then what do you take to apologize to me." ”
When Second Brother Wang saw that his child was talking in a cute manner, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his face was so wonderful and exciting.
"You, I don't have it now, or the next time you go up the mountain, I'll roast the chicken and leave the chicken butt for you." Yiye pretended to be helpless.
The villagers laughed again.
"Alright, everyone, if you want to buy something, tell me quickly, it's time to go. Old man Ye said.
Only then did everyone step forward to inform them, and Old Man Ye couldn't stop nodding and writing them down one by one. The father and son hit the road at this time.
