Chapter 170: Strange
Reedtown, on the edge of the town near the east, is not the center of the town, but there are many houses.
In such a small town, there is actually a gap between the rich and the poor.
Wealthy people live in the center of the town, with bluestone streets and carved fences and jade houses.
However, this kind of area close to the edge of the town is more popular.
The old woman who sold sugar gourds brought back a few outsiders, and also attracted the attention of the neighbors, who came to visit.
However, when I entered the house, I saw that everyone was quiet, and the old woman was also napping, and the neighbors left something and left.
The gifts brought are also very simple, mostly ordinary food, vegetables and fruits, etc., and there are also a lot of meat.
"Hey, asleep?"
The old woman was still woken up by the gentle sound of the door closing, and asked a little confused.
She glanced around with a hazy gaze, and was a little dazed.
After a while, the old woman remembered that there were still these benefactors at home, and quickly stood up, not knowing what to do.
"Mother-in-law, don't be busy, sit for a while, we're leaving."
Wei Xia Zhi opened her mouth to pull her thoughts back.
Seeing that there were a lot of things on the table, the old woman suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "It was sent by a neighbor, right?" ”
After she sat down slowly, she continued, "Our family used to be quite rich, huh...... Do you know the courtyard of Mr. Wei's house over there? It's about the same as over there......"
"Hey, speaking of Mr. Wei, it's a pity, such a good master is not teaching here, it's a pity that my son was born more than ten years early, he hasn't studied, he doesn't know a few words and doesn't understand any reason, and now he can only do some hard work and save his daughter-in-law's capital."
Wei Xia Zhi still nodded and listened.
At this moment, a man in cloth walked in.
He was stunned for a while before he knelt down under the old woman's scolding.
The man kowtowed a few times, "Thank you benefactor, thank you benefactor......"
Although he didn't know what Wei Xia Zhi and his party had done, it was precisely because of their appearance that he was free.
I was really arrested by those people in the court, and I don't know what the consequences are.
Wei Xia Zhi stood up, his face serious, "If that's the case, then we'll leave now." ”
Only then did the man in the cloth stand up.
"Benefactor, my name is Wu Youliang, thank you again for your great kindness."
Wei Xia Zhi nodded and said with a smile: "It's nothing." ”
Wu Youliang walked over, sat next to the old woman, poured a cup of tea for Wei Xia Zhi and Dongfang Huaiyin in turn, and sighed: "Benefactor, these conditions are at home, I am smiling." ”
Wei Xia Zhi didn't care and said, "You are looking for us?" ”
Wu Youliang nodded vigorously, "I searched for more than ten miles to the north, and I came back without catching up." ”
"How do you know we must have saved you?"
Facing Wei Xiazhi's question, Wu Youliang scratched his head and smiled: "After being arrested, I just met you, it's not difficult to guess, and the person who arrested me came back to apologize." ”
Wei Xia Zhi finished drinking the cup of tea and stood up, "Okay, in fact, you really haven't done anything strange, and they won't embarrass you." ”
Wu Youliang also got up, "No, no, I'm just doing some business in Luzhou City." ”
The man in white went to the old locust tree, stretched out his hand and touched it before coming back and sitting down.
The old woman is actually really tired, and it is not difficult to see the sleepiness on her face.
She looked at the man in cloth and said, "Son, go buy some vegetables and come back, you can make dinner." ”
Wei Xia Zhi, who had just sat down, immediately got up and went to lead the horse.
"Mother-in-law, I really don't need to, it will delay our trip."
Seeing that Wei Xia Zhi insisted on leaving, the old woman could only give up, and sent the group to the gate of the courtyard.
Wu Youliang suddenly asked, "Benefactor, I haven't asked for advice yet." ”
"The surname is Wei."
"The surname is Wei ......" Wu Youliang muttered a sentence and asked, "Do you know Mr. Wei's family?" ”
Wei Xia Zhi didn't shake his head or nod, "What's wrong?" ”
Wu Youliang said with a smile: "It's nothing, in fact, I was doing business with that big family in Luzhou City, and I heard that there was a couple surnamed Wei, but I couldn't see their faces, and I couldn't be sure if it was Mr. Wei." ”
Wei Xia Zhi was suddenly silent for a while before he smiled: "No need to send it, farewell." ”
When the group returned to the street, Dongfang Huaiyin asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"It seems that something is wrong, let's go back first."
After Wei Xia Zhi took them to buy some vegetables on the street, he went to a few alleys with few people, went around and around out of Reed Town, and then made a detour back to his home.
He didn't want to show off, and if he was really recognized, it would be a lot of trouble.
It is inevitable that the small courtyard of the Wei Mansion will be surrounded.
When he got home, Wei Xia Zhi was going to cook by himself, but Dongfang Huaiyin over there had already rolled up his sleeves and started chopping vegetables......
This made Wei Xia Zhi a little uncomfortable, they were equivalent to guests when they came back with them, but they needed to do it themselves, which was not in accordance with the rules.
But Wei Xia Zhi cooks very little, and he seems a little clumsy, and he can't even stand the full moon, so he runs over there to ...... Although he can also make a fire, it can be regarded as a help.
Dongfang Huaiyin gave him a thumbs up, "Great help." ”
The moon is full and leaves a little embarrassed smile.
Natsuba's job is very simple, she is responsible for collecting dishes and chopsticks and cleaning them.
Wei Xia Zhi, who seemed to be very busy like this, suddenly became idle, and stood under the eaves at a loss.
I couldn't see anything, and Ye Wei was taking care of his daily life before, and Wei Xia Zhi had little experience in cooking.
With the influence of his eyes, he will do it for a while, and if he is really busy with his own work, he will not be able to eat until midnight.
Wei Xia Zhi exhaled, it was easier to sit by the river and grill fish with qi alchemy.
Two quarters of an hour later, Wei Xia Zhi sat at the table full of the aroma of vegetables, looking dazed.
He took off his human skin mask and smiled gently, "Let's get started, let's be casual." ”
When I got home, in addition to cleaning the house, it seemed to be the same as before, sitting at the table and waiting quietly, there would be a delicious meal.
Although Ye Wei usually has a worse temper, she is actually very careful, at least she is very attentive to every meal.
After Wei Xia Zhi ate a few bites of food, Dongfang Huaiyin suddenly asked, "How is it?" ”
"The Oriental girl's cooking skills are really good, she deserves this!"
The fairy-like boy gave a thumbs up and smiled.
Dongfang Huaiyin also had a lot of smiles on his face, "Wei Gongzi exaggerated, in fact, I didn't cook much, when I was a child, my family didn't have the conditions, and after cultivating, I didn't have this kind of thought, and I didn't need food to fill my stomach, so every time I encounter such an opportunity, I will be extraordinarily positive, and there is no other meaning......"
Wei Xia Zhi suddenly opened the topic, "Oriental girl, you said that the old locust tree has a spirit, will it have any impact?" ”
Dongfang Huaiyin rolled his eyes and didn't answer.
The moon is full and I am eating, but I don't have any sense of taste, and I sit here to be lively.
Seeing that Wei Xia Zhi was so unenlightened, he slapped his thigh "painfully".
Wei Xia Zhi smiled awkwardly, and then asked, "Where is the home of the Oriental girl?" ”
Dongfang Huaiyin thought for a while, shook his head and said: "The previous home was in the border area between the Bailing Gu Kingdom and the Dawu Dynasty, and there was often turmoil, and it was not a home, but it was actually a home, and it would move every day to avoid disasters, and now it ...... I teach at Luang Lang College. ”
"Oh, by the way, Langlang Academy is in the Dawu Imperial City, which can be regarded as the foot of the Son of Heaven."
"Dawu Imperial City?" Wei Xia Zhi was a little puzzled.
Dongfang Huaiyin explained: "Langlang Academy is actually the most powerful dynasty, and it will move over there, but it is almost an empty shelf, the real Langlang Academy, in the far northwest, where is now the territory of Bai Ling Gu Kingdom, it can be regarded as a peaceful existence." ”
"That's ......" Wei Xia Zhi nodded, and asked again, "Where are the Oriental girls often?" ”
"There are more in the Dawu Mortal World, but I will return to the Dawu Imperial City to teach, and I will also return to the Langlang Academy in the northwest to teach."
Wei Xia Zhi nodded again, which was considered to be understood.
"Although Dawu is domineering, he will also be humane in some places, which is good...... What about you? After going to Xiangjia, what are your plans? The woman in Tsing Yi asked seemingly casually.
Wei Xia Zhi shook his head, "I didn't think about it, I might have been in Luzhou City." ”
"I don't want to go out to see ......" Dongfang Huaiyin suddenly fell silent, and only spoke after a while, "I'm sorry." ”
"It's okay, don't feel guilty for such a trivial matter, after all, I'm used to it myself."
After that, everyone finished their meal in silence and did not speak again.
It was only after Wei Xia Zhi put down the dishes and chopsticks that the deadlock was broken.
"This matter is a bit strange, it may have something to do with my parents, I'm going to go over there and ask Lin Qitian about them tonight."
"Do you need me to go?" Dongfang Huaiyin couldn't figure out what was wrong, but he still asked with concern.
Wei Xia Zhi shook his head, "Wu Youliang said that there is a couple surnamed Wei in the family where he does business, plus Lin Yitian must have smelled something bad when he caught Wu Youliang, I have to confirm it." ”
If there is really any problem, you have to rush over overnight, although it is not far away, a cup of tea.
"That ......"
Wei Xia Zhi planned Dongfang Huaiyin's words, and said with a smile: "I will probably clean up for a while on the second floor, and I can go to rest at night, in this way, it will be good for me to leave with the full moon, and it will be difficult for the idle fourth-order martial artists to threaten my life, and the other fifth-order martial artists will not threaten, even if there is a dragon sword......"
"I'm not an enemy to death, and I also have this unkillable full moon to come back in time to ask for help, right?"
"But ......"
Dongfang Huaiyin really didn't worry about Wei Xia Zhi facing a fourth-order martial artist with a dragon sword alone, she knew Lin Qitian's strength very well.
At close range, I'm afraid that Wei Xia Zhi has no chance to escape.
Even if he really fought, Wei Xia Zhi used all his means, and it was impossible for him to be Lin Qitian's opponent with a dragon sword, not to mention that there were other fifth-order martial artists sweeping the formation.
Wei Xia Zhi will probably not be able to fly, and he will be surrounded and killed in an instant.
"That's it, I'm going to ask, I can't have a conflict."
Dongfang Huaiyin is still worried.
Without her by her side to deter, Wei Xia Zhi, who had drawn a hurdle in Lin Qitian's Dao heart, was very likely to be filled by Lin Qitian with his life.
