In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Meng Xingci gave everyone a holiday, except for the jailers in the prison, there were only two people in the entire county, Meng Xingci and Ling Huan. ΗΤΤΡs://()t/

Although there are only two people, Meng Xingci is also preparing for the New Year.

She personally wrote couplets and pasted them on all the doors of the county office.

Meng Xingci also planned to help Ling Huan cook, but Ling Huan quietly complained in his heart that the adults were just adding to the chaos.

"I know how to cut it into slices and shreds, but how do you get it into dices?" Meng Xingci asked in confusion.

Ling Huan was silent for a moment, "Do you want to sit next to me and help me peel some peanuts?" ”

Meng Xingci nodded: "Okay." ”

finally found something to do for Meng Xingci and not make trouble for her, Ling Huan breathed a sigh of relief.

Ling Huan was busy in the kitchen, and Meng Xingci was talking to her from time to time. The atmosphere was harmonious and warm, but someone was going to disturb them.

Ye Xun and Song Nian searched all over the county office, and only then did they find them in the kitchen, and they saw that the two were playing quite well.

Meng Xingci gently wiped the flour off Ling Huan's face, and Ling Huan smiled at her.

Ye Xun and Song Nian couldn't help grinding their teeth.

"Shizi, it doesn't seem like the time for us to come." Song Nian said with no taste.

Ye Xun's dark eyes flashed: "No, we came at the right time." ”

After Ye Xun finished speaking, he walked in.

Meng Xingci was a little surprised when he saw him: "Why is the prince here?" ”

"I'm here to invite you to the Hou Mansion for the New Year." Ye Xun said: "My father and mother will stay in the army, along with the soldiers, and so will Ah Nian's parents. There are only two of us in the Hou Mansion, which is too lonely, so I thought of inviting you to the Hou Mansion for the New Year, and there are so many people. ”

Meng Xingci glanced at Ling Huan and shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, it's just that Ling Huan and I have also prepared a lot of things, so I won't bother with it." ”

Song Nian couldn't help but say: "The weather is cold, these things can't be broken if you keep them, and you can eat them in the future." Come with us to the Hou Mansion today. ”

Ye Xun thought about it, but said: "There are only two of us in the Hou Mansion, it's strangely lonely, I just don't know if Master Meng minds two more people?" ”

Meng Xing was stunned for a moment, are they going to stay for the New Year? She smiled and nodded, "That's good, welcome." ”

So the kitchen changed from two people to four people, and Ling Huan instructed Song Nian to be ruthless.

Song Nian was working and was complaining.

"Will you do it? How can you chop vegetables like this? ”

"Alright, okay, you go and make a fire."

Song Nian was disgusted, and he was a little aggrieved, and muttered: "Then I am doing it for the first time, and I will definitely do it well in the future." ”

Meng Xingci couldn't help but say, "Linghuan, be kind to Lord Song." ”

Ling Huan answered, and finally stopped picking thorns.

Ye Xun sat next to Meng Xingci to help her peel peanuts together, and he went to get peanuts and accidentally touched Meng Xingci's fingers.

Her fingers were slightly cold, which made him startled.

Ye Xun held her fingertips and frowned, "Why are your hands so cold?" I'll get you a stove. ”

Meng Xingci hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, I'll be like this in winter." Actually, I'm not cold. ”

Ling Huan had already prepared and handed a delicate and small stove to Meng Xingci's hand.

Song Nian finally felt that the little maid was indeed a bit of an eyesore.

Ling Huan made a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the four people sat together, Ye Xun did not say anything about Ling Huan's inappropriate identity as a maid, and had a lively meal together.

No one stopped Meng Xingci from drinking today, she raised her glass: "Although today, we can't reunite with our families for various reasons. But if we can get together for the New Year, we can count it as relatives. Cheers and hope you all the best for the new year! ”

"All the best!"

The four of them clinked glasses together, and Meng Xingci took a sip of wine with cherishment. After getting drunk last time, Ling Huan controlled her strictly and didn't let her drink.

Meng Xingci looked at Ye Xun and said with a sigh: "It is not easy for Lord Hou and his wife, and they can't come back for reunion during the Chinese New Year." ”

Ye Xun said lightly: "The more days like this, the more active the Tatars are, and they dare not relax at all." After a pause, he said, "Just now when we were cooking together, at least three groups of people tried to enter Suiyuan County. ”

Meng Xing was taken aback and sighed lightly: "Thanks to the wild goose returning to the army." ”

All the stability and unity are because someone helped them to shelter from the wind and rain.

After eating, Ling Huan discussed making dumplings.

Ling Huan said: "You have to eat dumplings during the vigil, and then go to set off fireworks, this is the New Year." ”

Meng Xingci and the other three did not speak.

Where do these three know how to make dumplings?

Ling Huan was already ready, Meng Xingci thought, he is Tanhualang, it is no exaggeration to say that he represents the most talented group of people in Daqi, what is it to make dumplings?

A quarter of an hour later, Meng Xingci put down the dumpling slices.

Meng Xingci looked at Ye Xun pitifully: "This is too difficult." ”

Ye Xun was also a little embarrassed, he thought about it and handed the dumpling slices to Song Nian.

"You and Linghuan will pack it together, and I will go with Xing Ci to prepare fireworks." After Ye Xun finished speaking, he glanced at Song Nian meaningfully: "Don't say that I won't give you a chance." ”

Before Song Nian could react, Ye Xun pulled Meng Xingci and left.

This was the first time he had called her name, and Ye Xun was still a little nervous. But Meng Xingci didn't seem to react, as if she hadn't heard him call her name.

Ye Xun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and was a little disappointed.

The two of them went to the storeroom together to get fireworks.

Finally no longer have to make dumplings, Meng Xingci is very happy: "These fireworks were brought back from Jiangnan when Rongsheng was delivered, and they are very beautiful." ”

Meng Xingci thought for a while and grabbed Ye Xun's arm, "Let's put a little bit first, shall we?" ”789

The young man's eyes were shining, and Ye Xun nodded involuntarily.

The two of them quietly lit the fireworks, and the fireworks bloomed in the sky, brilliant for a moment, but someone remembered it for a long, long time.

Ye Xun turned his head sideways and looked at the young man beside him, he gently bent the corners of his lips.

"Happy New Year, Xingqi." Ye Xun said softly.

Meng Xing was stunned for a moment, and smiled and bent his eyes, "Happy New Year, Ah Xun." ”

Ye Xun's cold face stretched out, and his eyebrows were dyed with gentleness.

The resumption of work began on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, because Hanbo Academy was about to open on the sixteenth day of the Lunar New Year, and Meng Xingci and others were still busy for a while.

Meng Xingci was a little nervous, because she promised that she would give the first lesson on the first day of school.

To be honest, this is the first time Meng Xingci has been a gentleman, and she is very worried that she will not speak well.

Song Nian looked at Meng Xingci with a tangled expression, and couldn't help but smile and said, "My lord, you are talented, you shouldn't be embarrassed about this study, why are you so nervous?" ”

Meng Xingci sighed lightly: "I'm worried about misleading people's children." ”

Ling Huan encouraged: "My lord, you must be able to do it, in my heart, the adult is the best!" ”

Meng Xingci looked at Ling Huan and couldn't help laughing.

Ling Huan was happy to see Meng Xingci, and she was also happy, and she couldn't see anyone else anymore.

Song Nian's face was blank, he was always okay, right?

In the dim and damp mine tunnel, Lu Ye carried the mine basket on his back and the mine pickaxe in his hand, and walked forward step by step.

The content of the website is incorrect, please download the iReading app to read the correct content. The boy's expression was a little sad, and his eyes were focused on the empty space in front of him, as if he was staring at something.

From an outsider's point of view, there was nothing in front of Lu Ye, but in fact, in the young man's field of vision, a translucent shadow could be seen.

It was like the shadow of a tree, gray and invisible, with luxuriant foliage, branches parting from one-third of the body to the left and right, supporting a semicircular canopy.

It's been more than a year since he came to this world called Kyushu, and Lu Ye still hasn't figured out what this thing is, he only knows that when his attention is focused enough, this shadow tree has a chance to appear in the field of vision, and others won't notice it at all.

It's a tragic life. The boy sighed.

A year ago, he woke up abruptly in this strange world, and before he could get acquainted with the environment, his forces were overrun by a gang of thieves, many of whom were killed, and he and some other young men and women became prisoners of the gang of thieves, and then sent into this vein to become a lowly miner.

Afterwards, he learned from the scattered conversations of others that the force he was in was affiliated with the Haotian League, a sect called Xuantian Sect.

The name of this sect sounds cool and tyrannical, but in fact it is just a small sect that is not in the stream.

The one who captured the Xuantian Sect was the Evil Moon Valley under the command of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains.

The Haotian Alliance, the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, is the two major camp organizations in this world, both of which are formed by the union of countless large and small forces, fighting each other with the intention of completely destroying each other, and it is said that it has lasted for hundreds of years.

In Lu Ye's view, such a battle is simply a confrontation between the orderly camp and the evil camp, and he was just accidentally caught up in such a tide of confrontation.

Over the years, wars have raged on the Kyushu Continent, and every year small forces like Xuantian Sect have been uprooted, but soon more forces have sprung up, occupying various territories, making the situation even more chaotic.

Mine slave is mine slave Lu Ye comforted himself, compared to those who were killed, he was still alive.

It is not that he has any special skills to survive, but that Evil Moon Valley needs some miscellaneous servants to do things, and a person like Lu Ye, who has no cultivation and is still young, is undoubtedly the best choice.

In fact, the mine slaves in this vein are not only the people of the Xuantian Sect, but also the disciples of some other small families and small sects.

The strength of the Evil Moon Valley is not weak, and it has captured a lot of territory over the years, and the original forces on these territories have naturally been destroyed, and some of the available manpower has been sent to various places by the Evil Moon Valley to be enslaved.

These people, without exception, have one characteristic, they have not yet opened their minds, and they have not cultivated in their bodies, so they are very easy to control.

There is a saying in the Kyushu continent that it is difficult for a demon to transform without opening his mind, and it is difficult for a person to practice without opening his mind.

If you want to practice, you need to open the spiritual aperture, and only when you open the spiritual aperture can you have the qualification to practice.

Opening the spiritual aperture is not a simple matter, ordinary people can open the spiritual aperture after systematic training, but about one hundred, if they are from a cultivation family or sect, with the guidance of elders, this proportion may be higher.

Lu Ye failed to open his spiritual aperture, so he could only mine in this dim mine to make a living.

However, the mine slave is not without a way out, if he can successfully open his mind and find the person in charge to report to him, he will have the opportunity to participate in an assessment, and if the assessment is successful, he can become a disciple of Evil Moon Valley.

However, there are very few mine slaves who can open their minds, and how can they still open their minds when they work all day long in this dim environment and can't even eat enough.

Therefore, basically ninety percent of the mine slaves have accepted their fate and work hard every day just for a full meal.

Lu Ye didn't have any sense of belonging to the Xuantian Sect, after all, as soon as he came to this world, the Xuantian Sect was destroyed, and he didn't know who those people in the sect were.

He also didn't want to be a disciple of Evil Moon Valley, this was not a serious force, just hearing the name gave people a sense of evil, and sooner or later it would be cold.

But you can't stay here as a mining slave for the rest of your life, what kind of system is it, but he is also an elite in the new era, if you don't have a dream, what is the difference between being a man and a salted fish.

So he has been trying to enlighten himself for the past year, originally he thought that only the shadow tree he could see could provide him with some wonderful help, but until now, this shadow tree is still just a shadow, no matter what help, sometimes it will affect his eyesight.

Lu Ye seriously doubted that there was something wrong with his eyes.

After turning a corner, a faint light appeared in the distance, which was one of the exits of the mine.

Today's harvest is good, hand over the ore in the basket, you should be able to get three points of contribution, counting the accumulation of the previous days, there are about twelve points, two points are used to exchange for two steamed buns, and the remaining ten points are just enough to exchange for a Qi and Blood Pill.

Qi and Blood Pill is a very low-level pill, not a thing to assist in opening the body, but if you want to open the body, you must be full of qi and blood, although the Qi and Blood Pill is low-level, it is suitable for people like Lu Ye who have not opened the body.

The reason why Evil Moon Valley is willing to take out the Qi and Blood Pill is not because of their good intentions, but because they are well versed in the way of people's hearts, and this cheapest and low-grade pill can make people with hope work harder and harder.

For example, Lu Ye is very diligent every day.

There were still thirty zhang away from the exit of the mine, and Lu Ye's gaze casually glanced at a corner in front of the left, where there was a boulder lying horizontally.

He continued to walk forward until he was about ten feet, and then he put down the mining basket he was carrying behind him, tightened the mining pickaxe in his hand, and took out a moderately sized stone from the mining basket, and weighed it slightly.

The next moment, he ran towards the boulder, approached the boulder, slid sideways, stepped on the rock wall of the mine road, and the whole person swooped down behind the boulder with the help of the rebounding force, like a vigorous cheetah.

The two figures were half-crouching behind the boulder, using the boulder to hide their figures, but they didn't expect that anyone would find their traces.

Hearing the movement, it was too late to see Lu Ye wanting to get up.

Under the frightened gaze of the two, Lu Ye raised his hand and threw out the ore in his hand, hitting the bridge of the nose of one of them, and the person immediately screamed miserably, and fell to the ground on his back, blood flowing from his face.

Lu Ye's other mine pickaxe shot again, but he didn't hit the second person, and the person reacted well and dodged with his head.

However, Lu Ye had already rushed in front of him, kicked down, and hit the other party's lower abdomen, the man was suddenly full of pain, fell out, fell to the ground, and spit out a mouthful of sour water.

Lu Ye stepped forward, grabbed the other party's hair with one hand, saw the other party's face clearly, and sneered: Who am I, it turned out to be you two brothers!

He knew these two people, they were disciples of the Liu family, and after the territory where the Liu family was located was captured by the Evil Moon Valley, some young disciples of the Liu family were sent here to serve as mine slaves.

Strictly speaking, the two brothers Lu Ye and Liu are also connected by the same fate.

The content of the website is updated slowly, please download the iReading app to read the latest chapters. Did I say don't let me see you again, or I'll kill you! As Lu Ye spoke, he casually picked up a stone from the ground and smashed it down.

This time the smash was not light, and the second child of the Liu family only snorted, and was directly knocked out.

Lu Ye walked towards Boss Liu, who had been injured by him before.

Boss Liu's forehead was broken, his eyes were blurred with blood, and he vaguely saw Lu Ye walking towards him, and he was so frightened that he crawled: Spare your life, my brothers didn't know that you were coming, and they thought it was someone else who spared their lives!

The two Liu brothers were sneakily ambushed in front of the exit of the mine, naturally they didn't have any good intentions.

Before these two people were arrested, they were both pampered, even if they became mining slaves, they didn't want to endure hardship, but the status of mining slaves was low, and the people of Evil Moon Valley didn't treat mining slaves as human beings at all, and if they didn't have ore exchange contributions, they couldn't exchange food at all.

Therefore, the two brothers often squatted in front of a certain exit of the mine road, robbing the lone miners, and many of them were unlucky, not only were the ore they worked hard to mine every day robbed, but they were also beaten half to death.

Last time, they just wanted to rob Lu Ye, but they were not opponents and were taught a lesson.

Unexpectedly, it was only a few days before I met these two brothers again.

The same rice raises hundreds of people, and there are people like the Liu brothers who are lazy and lazy like the Liu brothers, and there are also people with dreams like Lu Ye.

In the past year, Lu Ye's contributions through the ore exchange, in addition to ensuring daily food and clothing, have all been exchanged for Qi and Blood Pills.

In total, he took no less than thirty Qi and Blood Pills.

This has created Lu Ye's physique stronger than most mine slaves, although his body is not strong, but the strength contained in his body is already better than that of ordinary people.

Dealing with two lazy mining slaves is naturally not a problem.

Boss Liu was still begging for mercy, but Lu Ye didn't hear it, grabbed his hair, raised the stone in his other hand, and smashed it down.

After more than a year of life as a mining slave, Lu Ye has seen too many tragedies, and he has long understood a truth, in this world of cannibalism, any pity and sympathy are useless.

The miners are not all in harmony, and the miners from different forces are destined to be unable to unite, and for the sake of a good ore, the miners will often break their heads and bleed.

There were daily deaths in the mines, and every distance one could see a dry skeleton scattered on the ground.

There are not a few mining slaves who starved to death because they were robbed.

Boss Liu fell in response.

Lu Ye picked up his mining pickaxe, put the mining basket on his back again, and walked towards the exit, he didn't kill the Liu brothers, not because he was soft-hearted, but the injured mine slaves generally don't live long here.

After only a few steps, a person suddenly rushed in in a panic at the exit.

Download the latest full content for iReading

I don't care about you! The man snorted and swept towards Lu Ye with a slap.

At this moment, Lu Ye's body was cold, just because he saw a light blue light flowing in the palm of the other party's palm.

It was the light of spiritual power, in other words, it was a monk who shot at him!

Only by opening the spiritual aperture can one be qualified to practice and be qualified to be called a monk.

The monk's spiritual power is an extremely magical power, Lu Ye has seen a monk in the Evil Moon Valley make a move, although he is not too powerful, but that person just slapped a piece of ore with a light palm, it was only after seeing that magical scene that Lu Ye made up his mind that he must open his spiritual aperture and become a monk.

He had also secretly assessed that even if the cultivator of Evil Moon Valley was the lowest, he could easily beat ten of himself.

So when he realized that it was a monk who attacked him, Lu Ye knew that he was about to be in trouble.

At the moment of life and death, he stopped his pace and jumped backwards suddenly.

His chest was numb, the sound of a fracture sounded, and Lu Ye flew upside down and fell to the ground.

The sharp pain cleared his mind a lot, and he immediately got up after realizing that he was still alive.

Hey! The monk who made the shot was a little surprised, although he didn't use all his strength to slap the palm just now, but it shouldn't be something that the mine slave could bear.

Seeing the face of the mine slave clearly through the glimmer, he blurted out: Lu Ye?

Lu Ye had already put on a posture of turning around and running away at this moment, and he was also stunned after hearing the voice: Steward Yang?

This monk surnamed Yang was a small steward in the mine, and Lu Ye often dealt with him, because the Qi and Blood Pill was exchanged from him, so they were also familiar with each other.

Steward Yang is very optimistic about Lu Ye, after all, it is rare to see a hard-working mine slave like him.

However, if you are optimistic and optimistic, there is no special preferential treatment, and there is no enlightenment for a day, and there is an insurmountable gap between mortals like Lu Ye and monks.

After recognizing Lu Ye, Steward Yang was relieved that he couldn't slap the other party to death with one palm, Lu Ye had exchanged a lot of Qi and Blood Pills from him this year, and his physical fitness was already stronger than that of ordinary mining slaves, plus he just hit casually, and he didn't want to deliberately kill people, so it was not surprising that the other party could survive.

Opposite Steward Yang, Lu Ye beat a drum in his heart.

The monks of Evil Moon Valley generally don't care about the life or death of the miners, and they also know that the miners will often get into fights and brawls in the veins, so they basically don't pay attention to them unless they meet them.

Lu Ye just beat the Liu brothers on the head and bleed, fainted to the ground, turned his head and slapped Steward Yang, in Lu Ye's opinion, this is clearly Steward Yang is teaching himself.

Just when he was thinking nonsense, Steward Yang had already shown a look of surprise, as if it was a good thing to meet Lu Ye here, he stepped forward and grabbed Lu Ye's shoulder: Follow me! “
