The Taoist looked at a field of wheat.

The wheat in the field had been harvested by the lord's family, and bundles of bellflower were placed among the ridges, and on the only stone brick yard in the village, two old men were beating the scattered bellflower with a rake, trying to get the remaining wheat off it.

"Hehe, Dao Ye, you see that the two children have red faces and fragrant bodies, which is a sign of good fortune." The Taoist pointed to the two children chasing and fighting around the courtyard dam, stroked his beard and smiled: "This is the favorite gluttonous food of the mountain ghosts." ”

He wants to use these two children to seduce mountain ghosts!

Lu Xuan's brows furrowed slightly, and he said skillfully: "Senior, this place is not too far from the county seat, if you let those guys from the True Spirit Sect know, will you get into trouble?" ”

"Hmph, the mountain ghost is cunning and brutal, Dao Master, I exorcise evil spirits and eliminate demons, and I can't do it, so that two innocent young children die, it's not a big crime, right?"

The Taoist sneered, and with a wave of his robe, he walked towards the house in the courtyard.

"Brother Lu, do we still want to follow him?" After Ah Lai saw the Taoist walking away, he pulled Lu Xuan's sleeve and asked in a low voice.

Lu Xuan's face was gloomy, he met this Taoist priest in the mountains and forests, whether it was identity or timing, it was too much of a coincidence.

If he deliberately came to the door like the Heavenly Immortal or Zhang Daoling, he was afraid that he would not be able to leave by himself.

Besides, if you really meet by chance and leave rashly.

Maybe it will make him make more conjectures in his heart, so it's better to catch the mountain ghost and then find a chance to leave.

It's just that Ah Lai and Zhao Zhao staying by their side have always been their weaknesses, and after Lu Xuan's simple thought, he handed over the burden on his body to Ah Lai: "I put the map in the baggage, later, if there is a chance, you will leave first, and afterwards, I will naturally go to you, don't go and return, this person is afraid that it is not so easy to deal with." ”

Lu Zhaozhao still wanted to discuss with Lu Xuan, but he heard the Taoist shouting at the two old men in the courtyard: "Farmer, the poor road passes here, and I want to spend the night with a few friends, I don't know what to do!" ”

Lu Xuan looked at the two old men who stopped beating the wheat and talked to the Taoist priest, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes: "Let's go, follow first." ”

They were not very far away from the courtyard dam, and when they got closer, they heard the two old men chatting with the Taoist priest about trivial matters in the field.

"The Taoist chief doesn't know anything, our wheat cutting is a technical job, those young stunned young people don't have any know-how, and they can't cut the old man, so let's just say that this handle of the sickle is not good, it is not good if it is high, it is not good if it is low... Must ~ just ......"

The Taoist priest laughed: "This wheat cutting is manual work!" Thinking that the poor road had not yet entered the Tao, every time the farm was busy, he would go to the field with the old mother to threak wheat, and he was too lazy to eat for a day, so he fell asleep on the bed. ”

"That's what happens when the harvest is good." It was the two elderly couples who were beating the wheat, and when they saw Lu Xuan and them coming, the old man smiled honestly, and then asked, "These are the friends that the Taoist chief said, right?" ”

"Exactly." The Taoist smiled, and with that black hair, he looked quite a bit like a fairy wind and bones.

"We are a small family in the countryside, and the accommodation at home is a little simple, if the Taoist chief doesn't dislike it, it's not impossible." The old man looked at Lu Xuan and the others, then turned back to his mother-in-law and said, "You go back and clean up the two wings, and they will squeeze the two of us one by one tonight." ”

"Medium." The old woman wiped the sweat stains on her face, put down the rake and walked home with a smile, and did not forget to shout: "You have packed up the wheat, come back early, and tonight I will take out the bacon from previous years and fry some cabbage." ”

"Mother-in-law, I'll go back and help you!"

The two children, who were playing handsome in the fields, were probably bored playing in the fields, and followed their mother-in-law to the house with a jump.

The Taoist looked at their departing figures, the folds on their old faces huddled together, and they looked like they were smiling.

Only Lu Xuan understood the tyranny and cruelty.

After the old woman walked back, the old man began to clean up the wheat in the yard.

Lu Xuan and the others wanted to help, but they were rejected by the other party, and just said: "There is a Li'er who asks the guests to help, and a few Taoist elders will wait for a while, and when the Hun family cleans up the house, they will go back." ”

Seeing that the old man's body was still quite strong, Lu Xuan didn't force it, and sat on the stone pier of the courtyard dam with the Taoist, wanting to say something, but after thinking for a while, he swallowed the original words back into his stomach.

Langyuan Wonderland probably has some friendship with this Taoist priest.

But he didn't think that the other party would let go of the farmer's family for the sake of the so-called friendship.

Before the Taoist priest shows his skills, he will not put himself in danger for others.

For Lu Xuan, people can be saved, provided that their own safety can be guaranteed.

After sitting on the stone pier for about an hour, the old man, dressed in coarse linen, gathered the wheat and put it into the pocket he carried, which was about half a bag.

Lifting the heavy grain, the old man's face was indescribably joyful, and with a strong arm, he struggled to put this half bag of grain on his shoulder, and he didn't care about the big man with his head, so he beckoned: "Dao Chief, let's go back, let's go back to eat." ”

"Uncle, let me help you."

Ah Lai saw that he was full of silver hair and was still doing such physical work, so he couldn't bear it, so he stepped forward a few steps and helped the old man take over the two rakes in his hand.

After walking around the village for a while, everyone came to the old man's house.

The yard is surrounded by a fence, the bamboo has been black and rotten, there are many years, the house is even more simple, there is nothing but the chair and bench, into the lobby, there are even a few holes in the roof, and there are wooden basins below, which I think are used to receive water on rainy days.

"Ouch." The old man put the food he brought back in the lobby, wiped the sweat with his cuffs, and said with a dry smile: "The house is simple, don't dislike it." ”

"Eh, that's there." The Taoist priest waved his hand, looking unconcerned.

"Hun family, are you ready to eat?" The old man shouted as he walked out of the lobby.

"It's coming, it's coming, don't rush."

Watching the old man leave the lobby and walk into the stove house, the Taoist priest moved his eyes to the two children who had just vacated the side room, holding a Taoist flag in his left hand, and walked towards them with a smile, the bell on his body swayed, making an extremely crisp sound:

"Hehe, thank you two for your hard work."

After cleaning up the house, the two children were covered with dust, a little afraid of life, hiding behind the door and poking their heads out, timidly looking at the wrinkled Taoist priest in front of them, but with black hair, there was indescribable curiosity in their eyes.

The Taoist priest didn't care, took out two powdered candies wrapped in candy paper from his arms, and said with a smile: "This is the sugar pill in the city, give it to you." ”

Looking at the crystal clear white sugar pills, the two children pursed their lips and swallowed their saliva, but they still didn't dare to ask for it, but just shook their heads vigorously.

Lu Xuan watched all this beside him and sighed slightly.

I'm afraid this sugar pill is not a good thing.

"There's no such thing in the village, and if you don't eat it now, you won't have a chance."

The Taoist priest's voice was hoarse and low, his body did not move, but the bell hanging from his waist sounded louder and louder.

At this moment, the old man walked out of the stove house with the dishes and chopsticks, saw it, and couldn't help but greet: "Eh, Dao Chief, this sugar is precious." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm a good friend, I like sweets the most, but it's just two pieces of candy, and there's still a lot of it on my body."

Hearing what the Taoist said, the old man no longer dissuaded, and looked at his grandchildren with a smile: "Take what the Taoist chief gives." ”

"Thank you, Chief."

The two children timidly took the candy, perhaps having never seen anything like it, and the little girl put the candy pill in her pocket.

Lu Xuan, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but quietly breathe a sigh of relief, but when he saw the little boy split his sugar pill in two and gave it to his sister, his heartbeat couldn't help but skip half a beat.
