Yuan Ding was so frightened by this sudden sound that he almost threw the book away. After seeing that it was an old man dressed as a ploughman wearing a coarse cloth shirt and carrying a hoe, he said with palpitations: "Old man, why don't you make a sound when you walk, people are scared to death." ”

The old man said: "Why is there no sound, it's because you little baby is too engrossed in reading." ”

Seeing that Yuan Ding was slightly embarrassed, the old man said again: "How did you come in?" ”

Yuan Ding wondered, "Me? I came here on foot, isn't this official, what's so strange? ”

The old man said: "The little baby is lost, which is the official road here, and this is the mountain road of our village." ”

After hearing what the old man said, Yuan Ding immediately sighed incredulously, and said in his heart that this fog of the dog day was really lost. But he said: "It's okay, old man, when the fog clears, I will be able to find the official road." ”

The old man smiled, and did not answer, but said: "I see that the things made by your baby are delicious, can you give me some evenness for the old man?" ”

Yuan Ding was naturally very happy when he saw the old man praising his cooking skills, and happily poured the boiled pot of rice noodles into a bowl-like magic vessel for the old man, and he boiled a pot again.

The old man broke two branches at will to make chopsticks, and he didn't care about the heat, so he ate two bites and praised: "The little baby is a good craft." ”

Yuan Ding said: "The old man has won the prize, you eat slowly, it is hot when it is just cooked." ”

The old man didn't seem to hear it, so he just sucked and swallowed it, and suddenly he sweated like rain. It wasn't until I picked out the rice noodles, Ganoderma lucidum, and wild mountain mushrooms in the pot that I took two mouthfuls of soup in succession that I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Ironing, ironing!" ”

Then he lay down on the wild grass and recalled, "I haven't eaten such an ironed meal for many years." Then I thought of the food my mother-in-law cooked, and I really didn't want to say it.

Where did Yuan Ding see such a high evaluation of his cooking skills, and said excitedly: "Old man, you still can't eat, how about I put more rice noodles in this pot and give you a bowl?" ”

The old man said, "Little doll, you want to kill my old man." No, no, it's delicious, it's better not to eat too much at once. ”

Yuan Ding thought so: "You can't eat it all the time, otherwise no matter how delicious it is, it will taste like that." ”

The old man said: "You baby has an appetite for my old man." After a while, when you're done, come with me to my house for a sip of coarse tea. My old woman will be crazy with joy to see you. ”

Yuan Ding said: "Old man, don't you have to go to the ground?" ”

The old man said: "I don't care about going to the ground. ”

After Yuan Ding finished eating, the old man led him over a small hill and saw a small village with only a few dozen households.

Outside the small village, a small river half a zhang wide zigzag through the fertile fields, enclosing the small village.

At this time, it is the morning, and every household in the small village is cooking on a fire, and the smoke slowly rises from the chimney, weaving a picture of the peaceful and leisurely fireworks in the world.

Just as Yuan Ding was about to sigh, a voice interrupted his thoughts: "Old man Yin, why did you bring outsiders into the village?" ”

Yuan Ding looked at the visitor in surprise, and then at the old man, thinking: What? Is it all so sudden that everyone in your village appeared?

The man was a stout middle-aged man, with a casual and sloppy bun, no beard, bronzed skin, and wore a coarse cloth shirt as usual, but with a wide chest, and an axe stuck behind a coarse cloth belt.

When the old man saw him, he exclaimed angrily: "Chopping wood, what do you think of the door?" How did you let this baby enter the village in a daze? ”

The woodcutter said, "You didn't bring it in?" ”

The old man said, "Do you think my old man seems to be full of food?" After saying that, he burped, and suddenly a unique smell of rice noodles rushed out.

Yuan Ding's face was black, and he regretted being with him a little.

The woodcutter said, "I was absent for a while, but you are obviously well fed." ”

The old man said: "That's your responsibility." Without waiting for the rebuttal of chopping wood, the old man continued: "But this little baby can be regarded as having a fate with us if he can come in in a daze, so don't be embarrassed for him." I took him to my house for some tea and rest. ”

The chopping wood said: "Old man Yin, you don't conform to the convention." ”

The old man said: "What is the convention or not, I will guarantee it, okay, this little baby's character is not bad." ”

The woodcutter saw that the old man was all guaranteed, and he didn't talk nonsense with him, so he walked over the mountain.

Yuan Ding followed the old man through the fertile fields, and saw that they were all ordinary grains, so he didn't pay much attention to them. Soon after, we crossed a small, mottled stone bridge that was a little older, and finally arrived in the village.

The old man's home is not far from the entrance of the village, a simple three-room mud thatched house, the yard is quite large, but the courtyard wall is low, you can see the leisurely chickens in the yard occasionally waving their wings and walking, and some of them even flew on the courtyard wall and stretched their necks to look at Yuan Ding, a stranger.

The old man began to shout across the courtyard: "Damn, the guest is here, you can come to Xu Dajiao's house to make a pot, and I will have two drinks with the little baby at noon." ”

Yuan Ding hurriedly said: "Old man, you don't need to fight the wine, I have it in my pocket." ”

Before Yuan Ding finished speaking, an old woman wearing an apron came out of the kitchen. What does this old woman say? She doesn't look like a rough village woman who does farm work all year round, but like a dignified lady, even if she is old, she has the temperament of a lady from a big family.

Yuan Ding slandered in his heart, this old grandmother should not be abducted by the old man when he was young.

The old grandmother glared at the old man, and smiled at Yuan Ding: "Rare guest, rare guest, please come in, there are very few outsiders in our village, if there is any neglect, please Haihan." ”

Yuan Ding thought to himself, isn't it rare for outsiders to come in, who can get in if they are guarding the door at the entrance of the village?

He said: "Mother-in-law is polite, the people here are simple, but they are much better than outside." ”

The old woman let Yuan Ding into the main house and said, "What do you call your guests?" ”

Yuan Ding said: "Contemptible Yuan Ding." ”

The old woman said, "My name is Wang Chan." He pointed to the old man with a hoe outside, and said, "I didn't want to introduce myself to you when I was in charge, his name is Yin Zhifei." ”

Old man Yin Zhifei shouted outside: "I've already eaten with the little baby, and the little baby invited me to eat." ”

Yuan Ding saw the salute and said, "Granny Wang is good." ”

Wang Chan stared at him and smiled kindly, and said, "Okay! Good! , you sit down first, and I'll make you a pot of tea. Don't look rough with our tea here, but it relieves greasy and fatigue, and the taste is quite good. ”

Yin Zhifei also entered the house, sat down casually and said, "The tea leaves are stronger, and the taste is not good." ”

Wang Chan scolded with a smile: "The tea is brewed strong, can Yuan Ding drink it?" You must be someone else in the village. ”

Yin Zhifei sneered and said, "Whatever you want, whatever you want." Women are such a nuisance. ”

Wang Chan had a cold face and glanced at Yin Zhifei, and Yuan Ding answered in his heart: "So will love disappear?" ”

Wang Chan said: "The surname is Yin, I have a little behind my ears, I didn't hear it too clearly, you say it again." ”

Yin Zhifei looked at Yuan Ding and knew that this forced pretending was a bit big, and his wife didn't give himself face at all even in front of outsiders, so he immediately said: "I said, you women, you are really careful, we are incomparable." ”

Yuan Ding was a little embarrassed and wanted to laugh, but it was obviously impolite, so he forced himself to look up at the roof.

The roof was unremarkable, except for a six-foot-long box hanging from the beams. I don't know what it's for.

Because of the presence of guests, Wang Chan did not continue to entangle with Yin Zhifei, but said to him: "I will catch a chicken later, and stew chicken at noon." ”

There is meat to eat, and he is naturally happy to nod his head.

He naturally remembered the chickens raised by the old woman for a long time, and now he is like having the emperor's order, and he can't wait to go outside to catch chickens now.

Although Yuan Ding, a person from this village, had only seen a few people, all of them were ordinary people, and there was no trace of cultivation on their bodies.

You must know that where the Great Xuan Dynasty was founded, Emperor Taizu was looking forward to everyone being like a dragon, so he promulgated the royal foundation of the immortal cultivation method to the world.

Now under the rule of the Great Xuan Dynasty, although everyone has their own advantages and disadvantages, almost all of them can enter the Qi refining period with this basic cultivation method. The so-called root bone determines how far the growth path can go in the future, so whether it is Dan Xiu, Martial Cultivator, or Qi Refiner, they all rely on the basic techniques of the royal family to cultivate first, and there are even many foreign races who refer to them.

How could Yuan Ding not have doubts? But neither his special sense nor his acquired fiery eyes gave him any feedback.

Strange, so weird. But what is certain is that they have no ill will towards Yuan Ding, and Yuan Ding does not want to live up to their kindness.

Time passed quickly, and it was almost noon in the small talk between Yuan Ding and Yin Zhifei, and the sun squirmed out of the clouds an hour ago.

At this time, the old woman Wang Chan's dishes were almost ready, in addition to the hen and shiitake mushrooms, there were also seasonal vegetables in her own vegetable garden, bacon smoked by unknown animals and ordinary white rice.

After Yuan Ding saw that Wang Chan was also coming, he hurriedly got up to greet him, Wang Chan suddenly smiled from ear to ear, and nodded at Yin Zhifei, which made Yuan Ding very inexplicable.

After everyone sat down, Yuan Ding hurriedly opened the wine gourd placed in his hand and filled the three of them with wine.

After the three of them were polite to each other, they touched a glass of wine, and Wang Chan asked Yuan Ding not to be polite and hurry up to eat.

Yuan Ding tasted every dish, not to mention that the taste was really good, and he was full of praise for Wang Chan.

So the guests and hosts were happy, and they were lively and pushed the cups to change the lamps. Don't look at Wang Chan is an old woman, but the amount of wine is really good, and the three of them can only stop drinking the wine in a wine gourd.

At this time, Yuan Ding didn't believe that this pair of old enemies were ordinary people. Don't look at the wine gourd, it's not big, but there are three or five tons of wine inside.
