There are undercurrents surging everywhere on the mainland, but in Pingsang Village, a place of seclusion, it is still a quiet and peaceful scene.

It's been a few days since Yu Feng and the others returned here, and Yu Feng's cultivation, which accompanies his family all day, has been a little slack. Bai Ya is different, except for chatting with Yu Feng's family every day, she goes out around the village at other times, looking for a small valley with more spiritual power, and takes a period of time every day to practice spiritual law here. Yu Feng originally intended to go out with her, but Bai Ya refused his kindness and asked him to spend more time with his parents at home, and he went out alone every day to make time for their family to be alone.

Yu Feng originally intended to take his parents out to the nearby town, or go directly to Lancheng to go around, but his parents did not agree. First, the distance is too far, and it is inconvenient to walk, and besides, they have lived here all their lives, and they don't feel anything bad. The second is that this trip naturally costs a lot, and their family does not have much savings, and when Yu Feng returns to Lushen Island in a few days, he also needs to leave some coils on his body. So as soon as Yu Feng proposed this idea, it was rejected by everyone, so he also dispelled this idea and stayed at home obediently.

Yu Feng's parents also did not go out to work for several days, and finally ran out of food after a few days.

In the early morning of this day, Yu Feng's family and Bai Ya sat around the small table in the courtyard and ate some breakfast casually. After that, Yu Feng's father went back to the house and took out the axe and bow and arrow that he had used for many years.

As soon as he saw this posture, Yu Feng knew what he was going to do, "Dad, didn't you say that you won't go out to work for the past two days? ”

Yu Feng's mother said while cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks next to her: "It's easy to say, if we don't go out to work, what will we eat in the future!" We haven't been up the mountain for the past few days, and our family has not much food in stock, and there is not much firewood for the fire, and if we don't go out, we will be hungry." ”

Hearing this, Yu Feng got up and stopped his father, who was about to go out, "Dad, then you let me go, you can rest at home, I just haven't been on our mountain for a long time, just go up the mountain again." ”

Father waved his hand, "No, you also said that you haven't been up the mountain for a long time, and you are not familiar with the roads in the mountains, and you don't know where to chop firewood or dig vegetables, so I think you should rest at home." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I've been with you before, and when I go around the mountains, I can naturally remember it. You said that you did all the work when I wasn't at home, and I could still let you do it at home?" said Yu Feng and snatched the tools from his father's hand. "Cut down some firewood, dig up some wild vegetables, anything else?"

Father shook his head, and was about to dissuade him again, but Bai Ya on the side got up and came closer, "Okay uncle, don't say it again, that's it, I'll go out with Yu Feng." We're not as good as we used to be, and we'll be able to get the job done with ease. With that, she pushed Yu Feng towards the gate, widening the distance between Yu Feng and his father, and standing between the two of them.

As soon as his father saw Bai Ya getting involved, he couldn't dissuade him anymore, so he had to agree, "Okay, you guys go." Nothing else, if you can touch a small animal, knock it down. If you come across a wild beast, you can hide, or run away, you know?"

"Okay, got it!" Yu Feng and Bai Ya said in unison, said hello and went out. Two days before they came back, Yu Feng had taken Bai Ya around the village and around the village, and the two had not gone out together since then, and this time it was the first time they had gone up the mountain together.

When the villagers saw the two of them going out, they greeted them politely, and the two of them also responded politely. The village was already small, and after walking for a while, the two of them left the village and came to the mountain.

This is the first time Yu Feng and Bai Ya have really been alone since returning to Pingsang. Before he had gone far, Yu Feng asked, "I've lived for so many days, I don't know if you're still used to it?" This is the way it is, the conditions are relatively poor, if there is anything inconsiderate, please forgive me." ”

Bai Ya was stunned for a moment, "Why did you suddenly become so polite when you spoke, you couldn't speak after staying at home for a few days, or did your parents teach you this." ”

"No, I just think it's really aggrieved to let you live here, and I feel a little sorry not to go, I knew that I wouldn't have come back with you in the first place. ”

"You didn't say that when you were on Lushen Island, didn't you get some stimulation in the past two days? Bai Ya smiled silently, "Actually, I don't care, my home no longer exists, and my father doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and now Bai Ling seems to have a home, and I have no place to be nostalgic." Maybe it's good to go out and walk around like this. And I'm no longer a big lady, and if I get used to this kind of life earlier, I won't be in a hurry in the future. In fact, I think this place is really good, if our family could live here, even if we don't have a lot of money and only live a quiet life, but at least we can stay together, so that we won't be displaced like we are now, and go our separate ways. ”

Bai Ya said such a thing, in fact, to show that she was still thinking about her family who didn't know where she was. Yu Feng heard his thoughts, and didn't know how to answer him, "Do you want to live in this kind of place in that life?"

"In the future, I'm very willing, but I must at least find out my father's whereabouts first, at least settle Bai Ling's life first, at least for now... Not yet!" Bai Ya spoke softly, as if there was something in her words.

Yu Feng turned his head and looked around, as if he was looking for a way. After being silent for a while, he changed the subject, "By the way, you have been going out alone these days, where are you going? This mountain is still a little dangerous, you don't want to run around here." ”

"In the southeast of the village, there is a valley with abundant spiritual power, which is suitable for those who practice the Fa, and it is there that I practiced some of the qin methods taught by the master when I came. We have been on the road for a month, but we haven't practiced much, and we have fallen behind a lot. Bai Ya observed the surrounding trees as she walked, the plants on this Sara Mountain were many different from those in their Xilu, "Speaking of which, you shouldn't have practiced much, since you came out of Lushen Island until now. ”

Yu Feng nodded, "Indeed, as soon as I arrived at home, I forgot about these things, and I still want to accompany my parents more, as for the practice of those exercises explained by the master, let's talk about it later!"

In this way, your concern has become your fetters. In fact, between you and Xing Xuan, I think Xing Xuan did the right thing. He joined the wind spirit as soon as possible, so that he could settle down in the heavenly spirit, and once he had his own place to live, he could take his parents from Pingsang Village. And like you, who continue to stay in Lushen, but still miss home, isn't it as stagnant as it is now?"

"I understand what you said, it's just that Xing Xuan is Xing Xuan, I am me, he has his ability, I have my differences, he can take the path of the wind spirit, but I'm afraid I can't get through. What's the use of going your own way and envying the lives of others?" Yu Feng turned into a forest from the top of the mountain road and began to look for suitable trees.

"Although concern has become a fetter, it is also the happiness of my life, and it is also the burden I am most willing to carry in this life. Yu Feng swayed back and forth in the woodland, and began to choose trees from them, and Bai Ya also stopped, and sat directly on the ground covered with dead branches and fallen leaves, and sand and gravel.

After a while, the sound of "dong dong" came from the forest, and Yu Feng picked up the heavy axe that his father had used for almost his whole life and began the logging work.

The thick trunk was cut down by the wind, and a gap appeared, and gradually, the gap grew bigger and bigger. A moment of effort passed, and the gap in the trunk was almost a quarter of the trunk of the tree, but at this time, Yu Feng was also tired and panting. The sweat on his head continued to seep out, moistening his face and soaking his eyes, and he stopped what he was doing, sat down on the ground as well, and wiped the sweat from his head with his sleeve.

"This job is really not easy to do, this has just been cut in half, and I am so tired, and I will have to put it down and split it into scattered branches in a while?" Yu Feng took a few breaths, took out a kettle from his Dharma bag, and drank half a pot of water in a big gulp.

Bai Ya sat on the side and looked at him, he didn't speak for a long time, watching Yu Feng sit down and rest, and suddenly asked him: "From the time we realized it to the present, from the time we set foot on Yeluan Island together and returned to Pingsang Village together, have you ever regarded me as your burden?"

Bai Ya's sudden sentence had nothing to do with the logging thing he said just now, and he was confused all of a sudden, he looked at Bai Ya, and there seemed to be a faint smile in her slightly serious expression on her face. She was now staring straight at herself, causing herself to look away from the half-cut tree beside her after one glance at her.

Yu Feng paused, and could see that Bai Ya was still staring at him from the corner of his eye, so he quickly put away the kettle, got up with an axe, moved his body slightly, turned his back to Bai Ya and began to continue cutting the big tree, and asked at the same time: "Why did you suddenly ask about this, what does this mean?"

He turned his back to Bai Ya, and he didn't see Bai Ya's expression now, only heard the voice behind him, "You can't forget about the tree before you finish cutting it, didn't you just say that you would rather carry a backpack, and throw your burden aside so quickly?"

Yu Feng only felt that his face was hot, but fortunately he had his back to others, otherwise he would be laughed at by others again. Bai Ya really didn't know how to answer this, if she said yes, then she was too self-inflicted;

I thought to myself, but the strength in my hand increased unintentionally, and I didn't wait for either of the two to speak again, only to hear a "click", the trunk suddenly broke from the gap, the big tree fell to one side, and the ground seemed to be shaken.

The big tree fell, and Yu Feng also found the topic, "It's finally falling, hurry up and clean it up, let's go down the mountain early." So saying, he took a few steps forward to the branches, and cut them down one by one, and cut them into pieces of about the same size.

He was doing it vigorously, and suddenly the figure behind him flickered, Bai Ya didn't know when he got up and came to him, she approached Yu Feng face to face, and stared straight at him again, at this time, the distance between the two was only a punch.

Yu Feng's face turned red all of a sudden, and he dropped the axe in his hand and almost hit the surface of his feet.

"Come with me. After the two looked at each other for a while, when Yu Feng was about to escape, Bai Ya suddenly pulled him up, turned around and left here......
