Chapter 259 Worldliness is not worldliness after all

"What a day of relaxation... It's been a long time since I've found this most natural taste... Life is wonderful. Standing on the edge of the courtyard dam in front of the tiled house, Xia Yang raised his eyes to look at the unreachable sky filled with a brilliant sunset, and this elegant sigh seemed to relax all his body and mind, with a rare slack and unbridled freedom.

"Oh, don't tell me you're tired of your old life. Li Jiumei stood quietly beside Xia Yang, the glow of the sunset was beautiful on the beautiful red face, and the ripple-like light lines were just like youth. Then he smiled a little teasingly: "Do you think you're doing well these days, then you'll stay here in the future." ”

Then he patted his chest lightly and said with a smile: "My family is not short of food." ”

"I can't ask for it. Xia Yang turned his head and smiled faintly, and shook his head helplessly: "It's just that Ninth Sister, you see that my body is still a cripple with a broken hand, and I am really not qualified to appear in Qianmo Jiangpu..."

"Where, my ninth sister can do anything, and if I want to have something to eat, you are absolutely indispensable. Li Jiumei's words were full of vigor... Suddenly, Qian's face quietly turned red, with embarrassment, and she lowered her head and hurriedly said: "No, no, don't misunderstand what I mean, I mean, yes..."

“... I'll go. Xia Yang looked at Li Jiumei with some reluctance, and said seriously and bitterly: "Because, I still have a lot of things to do... Ninth sister, Xie Lu thank you for saving me, Xia Yang will never forget you for the rest of his life. ”

"Where are you going, are you going home?" Li Jiumei panicked in her heart, and asked again and again in a panic... Trying to bury the blush and loss on the red face, the next words brought an incomparably gloomy soul: "Yes, you have your home... Xia Yang, Ninth Sister only hopes that you are doing well..."

"The same goes for you. Xia Yang sighed softly. I know Li Jiumei's heart very well, but I know what I should do. Needless indecision would break the girl's heart even more, and a little more decisiveness, as cruel as it may seem, may be better for anyone.

Li Jiumei's heart was really hurt by Xia Yang's casual words, and she felt an indescribable pain of loss... The resentful eyes quietly glanced at Xia Yang, and the little mouth that was bitten up by the coquettish was speechless, and he felt more and more sour and wanted to cry...

"Nine sisters, be happy. Xia Yang smiled comfortingly, and his tone was very relaxed: "You guys shouldn't be far from that Yingshui City, take me to go shopping tomorrow?"

“... Hmph, you think it's beautiful, but there are still two hours to go over the mountain behind you. Li Jiumei was a cheerful person, and the sadness in her heart was carried by the longing for tomorrow, and after pointing to the majestic mountain behind the house, she turned to look at the river at the lowest end of the long slope, and then said: "If you take a boat from the Nanxi River below, it will take longer, a full four hours of waterway. ”

"So... Then I'll forget it. Xia Yang frowned slightly.

"Hey, why are you like this! Didn't you say you were going to go? Li Jiumei was anxious again, and exclaimed: "You are playing this girl, aren't you?"

"Where do you dare, I'm definitely just asking for your opinion. ”

"Then it's decided, let's go to Yingshui City tomorrow morning, and this girl has the final say. ”

Looking at the heroic spirit and personality wrapped in simple clothes, Xia Yang really likes Li Jiumei's affection and nature, not to mention such innocence... smiled slightly: "Ninth sister, then it's up to you." ”

"Reckless..."

Li Dasha led the big buffalo and appeared in the far ridge in front of the house, and the figure under the sunset was scattered and dragged on... Unconsciously, just like the buffalo behind him, only a vague shadow remained in the blood-red and more lonely world...

"Is Brother Li your own eldest brother?" Xia Yang didn't want to mention this question in his heart, but he still seemed to ask casually.

"It's not. Li Jiumei shook her head gently, her eyes looked at Li Dasha's figure in the distance and were full of heartache, and seemed to sigh softly: "When I was twelve years old, that is, six years ago, when I first met my eldest brother, he was a beggar in Yingshui City. At that time, he was beaten by some ruffians all day long, and my grandfather really didn't like it, so he took him to get his head cut and brought him home, anyway, my family is not short of food. Alas... It's a pity that the eldest brother, his life is afraid that he will only be like this for one lifetime..."

"Life is always different, look at it. Xia Yang patted Li Jiumei's shoulder slightly: "I believe that your eldest brother is very happy and satisfied with your careful care." ”

"I hope so..."Li Jiumei's eyes were stunned, and she sighed sadly.

"Brother Li seems to be in trouble today?" Xia Yang's eyes suddenly condensed slightly, and his frowning brows were a little incredible.

"Huh, what are you talking about?..." Li Jiumei didn't understand at all.

At this time, a middle-aged farmer in a hurry rushed out of the bamboo forest at the corner, and chased after Li Dasha along the path, still shouting excitedly: "Li Dasha! You fool stand up for me! Hurry up and stop me!"

What's going on?... Xia Yang and Li Jiumei's faces were suddenly full of surprise.

"It's the Zhou family by the cave. Li Jiumei's eyes were full of anxiety, and she said: "It was also six years ago that Zhou Sheng, the eldest son of the Zhou family, became a cultivator, and I heard that he also entered a famous sect in Yingshui City. This person is Zhou Sheng's father Zhou Shixiong, if anyone is provoked, he will not only suffer a lot, but also suffer humiliation. ”

"You, don't chase me, chase me!" Li Dasha seemed to be frightened by this sudden whistling, and hurriedly turned his head, his fat face changed in a panic, and he raised his arm and shouted: "You, you stand up first!"

"Shall I stand first?" Zhou Xiong, who was chasing after him in a hurry, was a little stunned, stood on the ridge more than ten zhang away, pointed to the tip of his nose and sneered: "You stupid boy run for me, you drove cattle and actually ruined a piece of my family's cornfield!"

Li Dasha was so anxious that he could barely spit out his words, but his face was still straightforward, and he said loudly: "The jade and the corn field are, it is you, your own three or three sheep are bad, and I have seen it with my own eyes! You, don't slander me!"

"What! My own three sheep are ruined?" Zhou Xiong's rough face twitched fiercely, and he lowered his head and spitted vigorously: "Phew! You fool is blind! Don't try to deny it and lose money!"

"No, no, it's not me!" Li Dasha was even more anxious, and his roaring face looked fierce!

"It's too much!" Li Jiumei couldn't bear to grit her silver teeth and whispered, her face full of hatred: "Although my eldest brother has a bad mind, he has never done anything out of the ordinary over the years, and this Zhou Xiong is clearly slandering a good person!" After speaking, he directly prepared to raise his feet to save the scene.

"Don't mix it up yet, I believe that the evidence can't hide the truth, so let's take a look first. Xia Yang raised his hand slightly and reminded Li Jiumei.

"It's not you, my Zhou Xiong is not blind!" Zhou Xiong suddenly roared violently, and then he crossed his hands on his hips and said in a righteous voice: "Anyway, today your Li family must compensate my Zhou family with one hundred gold coins!"

"You, you fart!" Li Dasha was in a hurry, and his anxious face changed color and roared loudly!

"A hundred gold coins... Ah!" Li Jiumei let out an exclamation from her heart, her intuition turned black, and she almost fell to the ground.

"You stupid boy is such a!" Zhou Xiong was furious, picked up a big stone from between the ridges and rushed towards Li Dasha!

"Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou!" At this time, another old man hurriedly ran from the corner of the path, carrying a hoe on his shoulder, it was Li Laohan'er. He shouted worriedly: "Brother Zhou can't help it, you can't help it! Dasha this kid is just a fool, you can't do it!"

"Wow, you old and young ones turned out to be complicit!" Zhou Xiong simply threw the stone in his hand, and waited for Li Laohan'er to come without hurry, and his mouth was still ridiculing: "The wind is blowing here, and it is raining here!"

"Brother Zhou, this matter is easy to say, easy to say. Old Man Li hurried over, and even smiled bitterly at Zhou Xiong in a low voice. He walked up to Li Dasha again and asked sternly, "Dasha, did you do it!"

"Grandpa, really, really not. Li Dasha looked at Li Laohan'er aggrievedly, and almost cried.

"Do you have a grudge between your Li family and his Zhou family?" Xia Yang said softly on the edge of the Wawu courtyard dam a hundred zhang away.

“... No, no, I said how do you know Lu Dao?!" Li Jiumei'er looked at Xia Yang's gaze full of confusion.

Xia Yang smiled faintly and said nothing. But he found that he had once again stepped into the cultivation realm, much to his great disappointment...

"Hmm. Old Man Li frowned and lightly nodded his old sixtieth armor, and then walked in front of the arrogant Zhou Xiong, and said with a straight face: "Brother Zhou, old man, I know Dasha very well, that is, he never tells half a lie." He actually said that this matter was not his doing, so I believe that this matter must have been misunderstood by Brother Zhou. ”

"Misunderstanding? Misunderstanding?" Zhou Xiong's face was full of exaggeration, and his hands gestured in a panic: "Old man Li, I misunderstood your Li family? I, Zhou Xiong, am blind? This fool is not right? Then I chopped off his head with a knife, and I said that I didn't chop it?... It's bullshit!

Old Man Li's old face twitched fiercely, and he looked at Li Dasha with an unconventional gaze... They all said not to go to his Zhou family's house, no, if you don't take the basket, you will be forced to take the pot... The old man's voice trembled, and he said in a low voice: "Zhou Xiong, since you are so unreasonable, then okay, you can give a word to accompany me, and my Li family will take the pot to sell iron! But don't forget that God has eyes!"

"Hmph, don't be very aggrieved, no one has wronged your Li family. Zhou Xiong looked disdainful, twitched the corner of his mouth even more arrogantly, and stretched out a finger: "I just said, a hundred gold coins." ”

100 gold coins... Li Laohan almost fainted on the spot!

Although gold coins are generally circulated among cultivators in the Shenmen Continent, in the world of cloth-clothed people, gold coins are piled up every year! There are three kinds of currency in circulation among mortals, copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins that are difficult to accumulate at the bottom! Ten copper coins can be exchanged for one silver coin, and ten silver coins can be converted into one gold coin... For a mortal family with rich fields, it can earn less than three or five copper coins by selling vegetables and grain once, and the income in a month is only ten silver coins, and it is only a fraction of ten gold coins a year...... A hundred gold coins, you can imagine...
