Volume 1 The Human Guest Chapter 72 The Wheat Field Outside the Courtyard

There are few idlers in the countryside in April, and there is no trace of dreams in the spring of May.

At the end of April and the beginning of May, the climate in the south is already hot, and it is still foggy in the morning and dusk when you want to come to the Qingxing Mountain, so you can dress in the morning and evening.

After all, he still didn't go to Xie Luo Mountain, Liu Jingxuan made up his mind, he would return within a year and a half, and if Longqiu Tangxi hadn't come by then, Liu Jingchun would go to Shenluzhou again.

Baijie knew that His Royal Highness could actually come back from a trip and come back to Xibi Lake, and the reason why he spared such a big circle was because His Highness couldn't get over that hurdle in his heart.

Liu Jingxun himself also knows that seeing in the illusion and seeing it in reality should be two different things.

That is, Dou Qiong, who has no eyes, can still ask, "Go straight to the southwest, you Liu Jingxun is not closer to Shu from Liuli County after passing Nanshan, and he still didn't go to Xie Luoshan after saying that, but now he actually goes east again, sparing a big circle, looking for trouble and wasting time." ”

Baijie sighed, and said in his heart that it was only three things, I have endured you more than thirty times, if you are so noisy again, Lao Tzu will really send you to Xudu Luoshan.

It is hard for people who don't know the details to imagine that this guy who wants to send people to Xuduluo Mountain at every turn will be a coward.

Liu Jingxuan didn't pay attention to him, just looked at a golden wheat field in front of him.

The wheat in the south is ripened earlier than in the north, and if you leave the county, the wheat will not be harvested until at least July.

No one paid attention to Dou Qiong, so she sneered and said: "Going around and going to the territory of Xizhou, what do you Liu Jingxuan want to do?" ”

Yo, it's a living map.

Liu Jingxun broke off an ear of wheat, turned his head and asked, "I haven't eaten for half a month, right?" I guess you're running out of pills in your sleeve, so if you can tell me what this place is, I'll buy you new dishes and chopsticks, but no one will wash your dishes and chopsticks. ”

Dou Qiong sneered, "You want to make me succumb to this? Dream! ”

Liu Jingxun waved his hand, "Whatever you want." ”

Baijie's eyes were pity, and he really had nothing to say about this woman who didn't know what to do. She can't see it, is this His Highness's heart softened and gave her a step down?

Baijie followed Liu Jingxun and said: "There is a dilapidated mountain temple in front, the incense is withering, the mountain god is long gone, and now it is a female ghost occupying the temple, but it is not a bad thing, I heard that she seduced the nearby villagers two times in three days, causing disharmony between husband and wife." ”

Liu Jingxun was stunned for a moment and asked, "What is she trying to do?" ”

Baijie scratched his head, laughed but did not speak, everything was silent.

As a result, seeing Liu Jingxun's face wrinkled, he hurriedly straightened his expression and said: "It seems that the female ghost is a kind of acacia technique that is cultivated, and it has to be like this to increase the realm, and besides, the small south peak dozens of miles away, that is, the place where the fairy in the legend knotted the grass, now lives a white-fronted tiger, I am afraid that there is a Jindan realm, it seems that I have been coveting the female ghost's appearance, and wants to occupy the mountain temple, and by the way, occupy the female ghost." Just teasing His Highness, the female ghost is not to seduce the young man to do something reluctant, but to tempt with her posture, so that those lustful people can sacrifice some of their own yang yuan, and a few meals can make up for it. ”

Let's just say it! The Hehuan technique has been written like this by those books over the years, but in fact it is just a practice suitable for practicing at the time of the alternation of yin and yang.

Liu Jingxun nodded, "Hearing this, it's not a good thing, right?" Did they harm the nearby villagers? ”

Baijie shook his head and smiled: "At the source of the Yangtze River, they don't have that much courage. ”

After walking a short distance, I saw a small courtyard, and there was a village not far away, and I knew that the family was not so gregarious.

Liu Jingxun turned his head to look, and there was a dilapidated mountain temple on a low hill about a mile away.

It was almost dusk, and Liu Jingxun said softly: "Miss Dou, I'm afraid she hasn't had the experience of staying overnight, right?" ”

Dou Qiong frowned and said in a deep voice: "I'd rather sleep in the mountains and forests than sleep in other people's beds." ”

Liu Jingxun smiled coldly, turned his head and said: "I don't know how many people have walked on the road you have walked, even if it is a plate that has just been fired, it is made by craftsmen with their hands, even if you Dou Qiong personally took the soil to cast, the place where you took the soil was in the long years, maybe it was once a thatched toilet!" You can't find something that no one has used in the world, and it won't be your turn, why don't you Dou Qiong throw away the money in your pocket? ”

You don't use anything that someone else has used? Then you just die.

After walking a few steps to the outside of the small courtyard, Liu Jingxun shouted, "Is anyone there?" We're passers-by from the north, can we spend the night? ”

After shouting several times, an old woman with a rickety body on crutches stepped out.

The old man apologized repeatedly, saying that he was old, and his ears were back.

Speaking in this local dialect, it is a little obscure, but Liu Jingxun and Baijie are both qi refiners and learn very quickly.

Liu Jingxun said in a broken local dialect: "Whatever the old woman says, I am a passer-by, I can spend the night at your house, begging for a glass of water is already excellent, where dare to blame." ”

The old man's eyes were not good, so he took a closer look, and then said: "Just three people, sleep, my house has two rooms, you two young men sleep in one, and this girl and I can sleep in one." ”

You can see that the old woman is very hospitable, and as she speaks, she opens the door.

As soon as Dou Qiong heard that she was going to sleep with someone else, someone else's bed she had slept in, her face changed.

Liu Jingxun and Baijie had already entered the door, and Dou Qiong was still standing outside the fence door, refusing to move his feet.

The two had already walked in, the old woman glanced back, rubbed her eyes, and made sure that the two young people had gone away, the old woman staggered out of the door, grabbed the Dou family's wrist, and said in a low voice: "Girl, tell the truth to my wife, seeing that you are so reluctant, are you being coerced by them?" If, later, the old woman wants to stop them, you can hurry up and run by yourself! ”

The woman in red originally resisted, such a rough palm, I don't know how many dirty things she touched, how dare she scratch my wrist?

But after the old woman finished speaking, Dou Qiong immediately froze in place, even if she didn't speak the dialect, she could understand it.

How...... How can there be such a person?

In the small courtyard, Liu Jingxuan said helplessly: "I said that you should not wear black clothes, you see, the old man treats us as bad people!" ”

Baijie's face was strange, he turned his head to look at the sword behind Liu Jingxun, and then pursed his lips and nodded.

Okay! I'm not the one who is behind it, you are Your Highness, you have the final say.

But no matter what, you are a person with a sword and a wine gourd, and I am empty-handed, who is more scary?

Dou Qiong didn't break away from the rough palm for the first time, but even squeezed out a smile, and said softly: "Old woman, you think too much, I am friends with them." ”

The old woman let out a long breath, grinned, and said softly: "That's good, that's good, it's the old woman I think too much, it's best to have nothing to do!" ”

When she finally entered the hospital, the old woman asked the three of them to wait first, and she went to make some food pads.

Liu Jingxun untied the two swords behind his back and threw them to Baijie, the latter only dared to take the one with the scabbard of the green umbrella, and he didn't dare to touch the Shanshui Bridge at all.

The demon clan is going to touch this? Isn't it to find sin?

The young man smiled and said, "You can't eat for nothing, I'll cook, and the old woman can just light the fire." ”

Baijie carefully put down the two swords, and also breathed a long sigh of relief. This was the first time he had touched these two swords.

On the other hand, Dou Qiong actually sat on the old square stool, stunned.

She grew so big, she never thought that there would be a real kind person, but how could this old woman be like this today?

Baijie sighed and said to himself: "Your Highness has good intentions! ”

In the dark kitchen, in fact, there is already an unfinished half bowl of noodles on the table, the weather is hot, and I can smell a bad smell from afar, and I know at a glance that this may be the old man's breakfast tomorrow.

I'm afraid that if I didn't meet Liu Jingxun's group of people who stayed overnight, the old woman really survived like this.

Liu Jingxun rubbed his face, but after all, he couldn't help but ask, "Old woman, what about your family?" ”

In the kitchen, the firewood in the stove flickered, and there was a little light.

The fire shone on the old man's face, his sallow face twitched slightly, and the old woman said with a smile: "My wife is gone, just a daughter, she has been married far away, I haven't heard the news for many years, I don't know if she is dead or alive." ”

Liu Jingxun didn't stop the movements in his hands, but said softly: "The younger generation is talking too much, but I don't know what the old woman's daughter is called?" I won't tell you anything, I have an official body, and the official is not small, so I can help check it. ”

How do you know that the old woman glared at her and said in a deep voice: "You are in this offspring, you just eat my meal and sleep in my bed, where can you deceive me like this?" If you were a big official, would you come to me? ”

The young man was stunned for a moment, laughed, and continued to knead the dough.

It's really not a small official! It's a prince anyway, but he doesn't have a fief.

It didn't take long to put down four bowls of noodles and fried a vegetarian sauce.

Liu Jingxun took out a bowl and said with some embarrassment: "That girl outside has some strange problems, she only uses her own bowl for dinner, don't mind the old woman!" ”

The old man was stunned, and hurriedly waved his hand, "I understand, I understand, big families, you are particular!" ”

said so, but it was difficult to hide the lonely look in his expression.

At the dinner table, Liu Jingxuan put a new bowl in front of Dou Qiong, and said in his heart: "The old man doesn't have much surplus food, you'd better not go too far, the bowl is new, and your chopsticks are also new." ”

The woman in yellow didn't say a word, buried herself in eating noodles, she hadn't eaten for many days, and she was really hungry.

The old woman smiled and said, "I see that you just like to brag, and you cook very well, this girl must be better, right?" ”

Baijie Yin and Yang said angrily: "She is the eldest lady, but she can't cook." ”

was glared at by Liu Jingxun, and Baijie hurriedly lowered his head to eat noodles.

After nightfall, Dou Qiong didn't enter the house for a long time, so she sat under the eaves and became sleepy.

The old woman, who had been sleeping for a long time, suddenly got out of bed and pulled a horse and sat next to Dou Qiong.

The old woman smiled and said: "You are similar to my daughter, I like to wear beautiful clothes, I can't cook, the basin for washing my face and feet must be new, and the dishes and chopsticks used by others can't move, she even dislikes me, every time I sleep in her bed, she would rather sleep on the board before she is willing to sleep." ”

After a pause, the old woman smiled bitterly and said, "Unlike you, she has that disease, but she doesn't have that life!" ”

In the side room, Baijie frowned and said in a deep voice: "What does the female ghost want to do?" ”

Liu Jingxun was half-lying down and took a sip of wine.

"I guess I want to see her mother."

In the wheat field outside the courtyard, a woman dressed in black wiped her tears, and soon her tears rained down and she choked up.
