The two walked out of the city gate and walked all the way to the mountain for more than twenty miles, and finally came to a small village at the foot of the mountain.

"Is this your hometown?" Zhou Ping asked with a smile, pointing to the village not far away where the smoke was rising.

Cheng Ying smiled and nodded, she didn't talk much along the way, which made Zhou Ping a little surprised in his heart, but thinking about it, if he was about to meet Chu Li and Chen Bi'an, he would probably become a good child......

As soon as they entered the village, Cheng Ying and Zhou Ping's outfits attracted the attention of many residents in the village, after all, there had never been a soldier in a small border village like them!

The more an aunt carrying a vegetable basket looked at Cheng Ying, the more familiar she felt, she scolded the man next to her, and asked, "Old man, look at that girl in military uniform, is it a bit like the girl in the old Cheng family!"

Before the man next to her could take a closer look, Cheng Ying walked over with a smile, took the eldest aunt's hand cordially, and said with a smile, "Aunt Li, I'm not mistaken, I'm Cheng Yatou!"

Aunt Li was stunned for a moment, then immediately reached out and touched Cheng Ying's face, and immediately shouted excitedly, "It's really Cheng girl!

Seeing that more and more people gathered at the entrance of the village, Zhou Ping glanced at Cheng Ying in surprise, and quietly asked behind her, "Cheng Ying, why are you so popular in the village?"

Cheng Ying took Aunt Li'er's hand, turned her head to Zhou Ping and said with a smile, "My parents left early, and I didn't starve to death because of the help of the people in the village, and I grew up eating hundreds of family meals." ”

Speaking of this, Cheng Ying glanced back at Aunt Li and said softly, "The uncles and aunts in the village are all my parents." ”

"This general is ......" Aunt Li'er's eyes wandered back and forth between Zhou Ping and Cheng Ying, and it seemed to have some special meaning.

"Aunt Li, this is my comrade-in-arms, who knew that I was going home, and specially accompanied me. Cheng Ying explained to Aunt Li with a smile.

This introduction made Zhou Ping a little surprised, originally he thought that according to Cheng Ying's character, he would definitely take this opportunity to say that Zhou Ping and her were lovers, but surprisingly this time she did not embarrass Zhou Ping, but chose to tell the truth.

"Okay, good!" Aunt Li smiled and took Zhou Ping's hand, "Since you are Cheng Yatou's comrade-in-arms, you are a guest in our village, you must stay for dinner at night, Aunt Li will make you a good meal!"

Everyone soon came to Aunt Li'er's house, and at this time, almost the entire village gathered at the door of Aunt Li'er's house, Cheng Ying no longer had the usual domineering at this time, but greeted the seniors in the village respectfully like everyone else.

Zhou Ping had never seen such a Cheng Ying.

Seeing Cheng Ying happily chatting and laughing happily with the seniors in the village who had raised her, Zhou Ping couldn't help but have such a picture in his mind.

A teenage girl, who came to Chang'an City thousands of miles away from her hometown, thought that she could become an immortal cultivator in Chang'an Immortal Yuan with her soul seed, but her talent was too poor, and she was ruthlessly rejected by the Immortal Academy.

But this little girl did not give up, she chose another path, she joined the Chang'an City Guard! As a woman, if she wants to persevere in the Chang'an City Guard, she is destined to work countless times harder than others, because of her own daughter, she has been harassed, ridiculed, and even abused by the men of the City Guard countless times!

In order to survive, in order to become stronger, she must wrap herself in a thick shell! If you men run ten laps of physical training at a time, then I will run twenty laps! If you drive a stake for two hours, then I will beat it for four hours! If you smoke cigarettes and drink spirits, then I will smoke harder than you! I will drink more than you!

No girl is born to be a girl, and no girl is born to drift and struggle in the world, Cheng Ying has never resented this world, she only knows that from the day she stepped out of the house, she had no choice but to succeed......

Thinking of this, Zhou Ping couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Cheng Ying, her character was shaped by the environment she was in, if she didn't choose to go out, but stayed in this small mountain village, maybe she wouldn't have learned how to swear in her life......

"Brother Zhou Ping, this is the best mountain date in our village, you can taste it!"

A seven or eight-year-old little boy walked towards Zhou Ping with a handful of mountain dates, but the little guy didn't pay attention to his feet, stumbled over a heel, and saw that the little boy's head was about to hit the steps, Zhou Ping immediately made a move, and a mysterious qi slowly lifted the little boy's body, and even the mountain dates that flew out of the little boy's arms were suspended in the air by Zhou Ping.

The little boy was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhou Ping with wide eyes, "Wow! Brother Zhou Ping, you are so amazing, are you an immortal?"

Everyone's eyes gathered with the child's shouting, this is just a small mountain village with only a hundred or so households, where has anyone seen such a magical spell, everyone looked at Zhou Ping in amazement, and their faces were full of shock.

Cheng Ying smiled when she saw this, touched the little boy's head, and said, "Zhuzi, my brother is not an immortal, this is just his cultivation technique......

"It's amazing, I want to learn too, brother, can you teach me?" Zhu Zi looked at Zhou Ping with a look of hope, his eyes full of longing.

Cheng Ying briefly probed the body of the pillar, and then shook his head slightly at Zhou Ping, Zhou Ping immediately understood, but he did not break the matter, but looked at the pillar with a serious face and said.

"Zhuzi, this technique is very difficult for me to learn, if you want to learn it, you can't go out to play for a hundred days, you can't eat dates for a hundred days, you can't see your father and mother for a hundred days, do you still want to learn?"

"Huh?" After all, the pillar is still a child's heart, he scratched his head, and immediately got into Aunt Li'er's arms, "I can't see my father and mother for a hundred days, so I still won't learn!"

Although Zhou Ping is in contact with all kinds of geniuses on weekdays, and almost everyone around him has a soul seed, but in fact, how can there be so many geniuses in this world, let alone a genius, isn't this huge village only a person with a soul seed like Cheng Ying for so many years?

There are more people in this world, in fact, ordinary people like Zhu Zi and Aunt Li, they are ordinary and great, although they have no soul seed, but they still live well in the ordinary.

Everyone in the world is ordinary, why bother to seek immortals......

The time soon came to night, Zhou Ping saw that Cheng Ying had no intention of going back, but he didn't urge her, anyway, he would leave tomorrow morning, and it would be too late to get up early tomorrow morning.

After dinner, Aunt Li arranged a place for Zhou Ping, although it was a little simpler, but it also had a different kind of warmth.

"Zhou Ping, you have also seen the situation in our Zaoshan Village, and it is indeed a little wronged to you living in this kind of place......

Aunt Li laughed. Zhou Ping said with a smile, "This is already very good, I am also a child from a poor family, and my hometown is not as good as here!"

Zhou Ping didn't say nonsense, the small border town in his hometown has now become a ruin, and even if it has not become a ruin, his residence is at most a broken shack outside the city......

At night, Cheng Ying finally sent all the villagers away, and Aunt Li took her to Zhou Ping's residence, Cheng Ying asked puzzledly, "Aunt Li, what are you bringing me here for?"

"Okay!" Aunt Li scolded Cheng Ying, glanced at Zhou Ping's residence, and said in a low voice, "You girl grew up under my nose, I can see that you are interesting to this young man at a glance!

"Your Aunt Li is very accurate in seeing people, this young man is affectionate at first glance, he is a good offspring, and now the difference is a kick in the door!"

Cheng Ying immediately understood what Aunt Li meant, but she knew more about the strength of Zhou Ping's spiritual sense, this guy rarely slept at night, and was usually used for cultivation, at this time, Aunt Li'er's words should have been heard by him clearly......

Thinking of this, Cheng Ying smiled bitterly and said, "I do have intentions for him, but he is not the kind of person you imagined......"

Hearing Cheng Ying say this, Aunt Li glanced at Zhou Ping's residence again, and then threw the futon in her hand into Cheng Ying's hand.

"Then Aunt Li can't help it, there are no empty houses in the village, if you don't go in, you can lay the floor outside by yourself......"

With that, Aunt Li turned around and left, leaving Cheng Ying alone in the wind.

At this moment, Zhou Ping's door opened, and he glanced at Aunt Li, who was secretly watching in the dark, and actually reached out to take Cheng Ying's futon and pulled her into the house.

Taking the futon in Cheng Ying's hand, Zhou Ping raised his eyebrows at Cheng Ying, "You live on the bed, I live on the ground, understand?"

Cheng Ying nodded a little blankly, watching Zhou Ping clean up the ground with Zhenyuan and spread the bedding on the ground, with loss written on his face.
