The next day, before the sky was white, Fang Cheng went out with a bamboo basket on his back.

Fang Cheng didn't sleep well all night last night, and as soon as his eyes were closed, he couldn't wait to explore the newly emerged qi mansion in his body, just like a landlord who found gold and silver treasures at home, couldn't put it down, and looked at it at every turn.

The boy came to the river, unloaded the bamboo basket, took out the candle and put it on the bluestone to light the wick as before, took two steps back and began to kneel.

Since his neighbor Sun Ce showed his magic here yesterday, the young man has become even more convinced that there is a river fairy water god in this world.

When he was done, the boy looked up at the candle, which was not extinguished, and got up and went to the place where the net was laid yesterday and pulled out the bamboo pole to prepare to collect the net.

As soon as he put his hand into the water, Fang Cheng was about to pull the fishing net to land, and suddenly, Fang Cheng felt that the back of his left hand was cold, as if something was floating on the back of his hand, and he suddenly withdrew his hand to see that there was a long black worm in the shape of a palm on the back of his hand.

"Why are there geckos in the river?" Fang Cheng was a little surprised, and he didn't think much about it, and with a flick of his wrist, the gecko was thrown into the river.

The boy was ready to pull the fishing nets in the water ashore at one time, but he didn't expect that as soon as the boy was full of strength, his other hand in the water was pasted by the gecko again.

Fang Cheng withdrew his hand and looked at the gecko on the back of his hand helplessly, I had heard Aunt Dai say that leeches would be adsorbed on people in the river, but I had never heard that geckos also loved to do this kind of thing.

Fang Cheng shook his hand again, this time the gecko seemed to be very tight, and it didn't move.

"Forget it, geckos are also beneficial insects, so it's good to take them home and eat mosquitoes," the boy compromised, grabbed the gecko on the back of his hand, and put it on his shoulder.

The gecko who was caught and moved the nest did not move and resist at all, and honestly lay on the young man's shoulder, closing his eyes slightly, as if he was taking a nap.

"It's really in charge..."Fang Cheng pursed his lips, no longer paying attention to the gecko on his shoulder, grabbed the fishing net with both hands, and dragged it up.

The boy put the fish in the net into a basket, covered the basket, looked around the river to find an empty meadow, and sat down cross-legged.

According to the cultivation method of Qingfeng Jue in his mind, Fang Cheng put his hands apart, put the back of his hand against his knees, and began to swallow and breathe.

Gradually, the boy found that speckled starlight appeared in front of him, and as he took in it for a long time, the speckled starlight slowly accumulated together, turning into a glowing bright spot, and then flew towards himself, and when all the starlight entered his body, the boy's whole body trembled, as if he had been empowered.

Fang Cheng hurriedly closed his eyes to feel the changes in the Qi Mansion, on the four walls of the Qi Mansion, which was originally empty, several water curtains appeared, and the water flowed down the wall and flowed to the depression in the middle of the Qi Mansion.

Fang Cheng, who saw the change of qi for the first time, had a smile on his face.

According to the Qingfeng Jue in his mind, as long as he can inhale the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body, it means that he is the material for cultivating immortals! What's more, the gurgling water curtain that appeared in the qi mansion was not exactly the sign of becoming an immortal master!

Suppressing the joy in his heart, the young man began to swallow the essence of the sun and the moon, compared to the cautious exhalation just now, this time he was obviously unscrupulous.

On the young man's shoulder, the long insect gecko opened its eyes, glanced at the faint light floating beside the young man, opened its mouth slightly as if yawning, and closed its eyes in a coy manner.

After a long time, the sun rose in the east, and the day dawned.

Fang Cheng put away the exercises, immersed in the joy of exploring the Qi Mansion, in the Qi Mansion, the water curtains on the four walls have stopped flowing with the stop of the exercises, this morning's cultivation has come here, there is already a small half of the pond in the pool, according to this progress, absorb the aura of heaven and earth three times, the water curtain fills the pool, and he can impact the second pulse of Ren Du and become an immortal master!

Standing up, the boy walked to the bamboo basket and picked up the fish, and glanced over his shoulder out of the corner of his eye, the gecko didn't know where to run.

The young man didn't care, and with satisfaction, he picked up the bamboo basket and walked towards the village.

——

Stepping into the mouth of the East Alley, Fang Cheng kicked the mud on the shoes as usual, since he wore the cloth shoes given by his neighbor today, he didn't feel the accelerated blood circulation, but in the past, he had to stop and rest when he walked to the entrance of the village with a bamboo basket full of fish, but today he didn't feel weak at all.

Fang Cheng lowered his head and stared at the cloth shoes left and right, childish in his heart, he wanted to find out the formation that his sister-in-law said.

But looking at it, it was still a pair of cloth shoes, and the young man flicked his legs in some confusion.

"Fang Cheng, what's wrong with you?" came a beautiful voice.

Fang Cheng raised his head, and in front of him was a girl of the same age as himself.

The youngest daughter of Master Hou's family, Hou Baojun.

Mr. Hou has a son and two daughters, the eldest son Hou Ping, who learned the way of business in Qingyun County in the early years, and since Mr. Hou returned to his hometown, he took over the Hou family's business there in Qingyun County.

The second daughter, Hou Min, is the person that Fang Cheng has always envied, not that the young man covets her beauty, what really makes the young man envious is Hou Min's chance, I heard the people in the village say that Hou Min, who went out for spring a few years ago, was favored by the Xiuxian sect on the mountain and accepted as a disciple of the sect.

Until now, Fang Cheng, who had already touched the threshold of the immortal master, would still think about whether it was possible for him to go out fishing and deliver fish every morning like Hou Min, who happened to bump into an immortal master.

As for the fact that his neighbor is an immortal master, the young man doesn't think it's a coincidence.

It's more like a scare...

The last little daughter, that is, the person in front of her, Hou Baojun.

Hou Baojun was old and had a daughter, and the most distressing thing was Hou Baojun, who was afraid of melting in his mouth, and was afraid of breaking it in his hand.

Hou Baojun looked at Fang Cheng, who was stunned, and said, "Fang Cheng, talk to you!"

Fang Cheng stood still, hurriedly waved his hand, and said, "No, it's okay, I just feel like I've stepped on something, stretch out my legs and look at ......"

"Step on it! Step on shit!" Hou Baojun laughed as if he had found some fun.

The young man scratched his head and smirked at Hou Baojun.

Because there is no school in the village and town, Hou Baojun has been sent to the school in Qingyun County by Mr. Hou since he was six years old.

I haven't seen him for many years, Hou Baojun has a little red lips on his face, his slender eyebrows are down, and his eyes are as bright as stars. The previous sheep's horn braids have also been replaced by a waterfall of long hair hanging down behind the waist, although Hou Baojun is only in his early tens, but he has a slim posture.

"Why are you back?" Fang Cheng was a little puzzled.

Hou Baojun crossed his waist with one hand, lifted the fashionable hair in front of his forehead with the other hand, and said angrily: "What about me, I came back today to see my father and mother, and quietly told you that I am going to go to the Qingyun Sect where my sister is located to learn the spell of the immortal master!"

Fang Cheng nodded, not knowing what to say.

The matter of learning the Immortal Master's spell is indeed quite shocking, but compared to the former, it is much bleaker.

Hou Baojun, who waited for a long time and didn't wait for praise, feigned anger and said, "Little brother, what's the matter with you?!"

Fang Cheng came back to his senses and stretched out his thumb, "Awesome!"

Hou Baojun glanced at the young man who looked like a fool, and said with a smile: "What are you doing in Dongxiang?"

Fang Cheng pouted at the bamboo basket Nunu that he was carrying behind him, and said, "I came to deliver the fish, and I happened to meet you." ”

"Eh, didn't Uncle Fang come over to deliver fish in the past? Hou Baojun was a little puzzled.

Fang Cheng lowered his head, was silent for a moment, and whispered: "My father and my mother were no longer there the year before last. ”

Hou Baojun was like a frightened deer, and said at a loss: "Fang Cheng, don't be sad, I didn't mean to ask this, I don't know about your father and mother..."

"It's okay, you haven't been in the village all the year round, it's reasonable to not know these things, I can't blame you" The young man raised his head and interrupted Hou Baojun's words.

Fang Cheng adjusted his mood and quipped Hou Baojun: "According to what my father taught me before, I don't know what to call it, that's what it means." ”

Seeing that Fang Cheng was not depressed and angry, the innocent girl picked up the eldest lady's shelf and said, "Read more books in the future, it's not strange for those who don't know." ”

Fang Cheng smiled and said, "Yes, yes, that's it." ”

"Oops!" the boy patted his head.

Lifting the bamboo basket on his body, the young man hurriedly said, "I'm talking to you, I'm going to deliver fish!"

With that, the boy turned sideways and was about to leave.

The girl stopped Fang Cheng, "Let's go back together." ”

The boy who sent the fish scratched his head and said, "It just so happens that the first one is your house." ”

Hou Baojun nodded with a smile, and walked in front of the young man first, "Hurry up, remember to watch the road, don't step on things that shouldn't be stepped on again." ”

Fang Cheng, who was carrying the bamboo basket on his back, just blinked, did not speak, and followed behind the girl.

Coming to the door of Hou's house, Hou Baojun walked up the steps, and Fang Cheng stood on the stone road.

Hou Baojun knocked on the head of the shop, and the shouts of the porter came from inside.

"Who!"

"Me!!"

The door opened, and the porter stepped out of the threshold.

Seeing that it was Hou Baojun, the porter immediately flattered: "It turns out that the third lady is back!

After that, the porter didn't even look at the young man who sent the fish under the steps, stepped into the threshold, and ran to the inner courtyard.

Not long after, a middle-aged man with a big waist and a woman appeared in the inner courtyard and walked briskly towards the gate.

Hou Baojun, who was standing outside the door, was smiling behind his hands.

Mr. and Mrs. Hou walked outside the door, Mrs. Hou, who had not seen her daughter for many years, was tender like water, squatted down, hurriedly took Hou Baojun beside her, and carefully looked at her daughter's whole body, for fear of missing a trace of discomfort.

"You ran back alone, your eldest brother didn't find someone to protect you, eh, Fang Cheng is also there..."Master Hou looked down the steps, and Fang Cheng was the only one.

Fang Cheng bowed to Master Hou, who nodded.

Hou Baojun was beside his mother and said obediently: "I'm looking for it, I'll let them go back to Qingyun County by themselves when they get to the entrance of the village." ”

Master Hou straightened his loose cuffs with satisfaction, "That's good, you don't know that the mountain bandits have been making trouble recently, so you still have to be careful in everything." ”

Hou Baojun pursed his lips, and the right should be in the left ear and out in the right ear.

Mrs. Hou saw Fang Cheng who was putting down the bamboo basket, turned her head to the concierge and said, "Don't go and help!"

The porter, who had been waiting for the order, hurriedly ran out of the door, walked down the steps to take the fish that the boy had taken out of the basket, and turned around and handed the boy eight copper coins.

Fang Cheng put away the copper coins that had a lot of money this time, picked up the bamboo basket, and was about to go to the next one.

On the steps, Hou Baojun looked at Fang Cheng who was leaving, and said eagerly: "Don't you come up and sit?"

At the bottom of the steps, the boy who delivered the fish smirked and shook his head.

——

Aunt Dai rarely found Sun Ce's house today, according to Aunt Dai's own dislike of Sun Ce, if there was nothing particularly important to find Sun Ce, she would treat it as the only one in the West Alley.

Aunt Dai stood at the door of Sun Ce's house, hesitated for a long time, and finally knocked on the door.

The door opened, and it was a woman.

Aunt Dai saw that it was Zhao Zhi, and her face was a little happy.

Aunt Dai is very satisfied with Sun Ce's impression of this daughter-in-law, gentle and virtuous, and she is not bad-looking. Sometimes the neighbors in the street need to help with work or something, Zhao Zhi will go over to help one or two, and he doesn't want other people's remuneration after he is done, and the people in the village say that Sun Ce's virtue can marry someone like Zhao Zhi as a daughter-in-law, that is the last life to burn high incense, it is also strange to say, Sun Ce talks about other things, he is open his mouth to the east, and he closes his mouth to the west, but as long as he mentions the matter of his daughter-in-law Zhao Zhi, he immediately seems to have changed as a person, and he is not ambiguous at all.

Zhao Zhi stood inside the door and took the lead in speaking, "Aunt Dai, why are you free today?"

Aunt Dai took Zhao Zhi's slender hand across the threshold, patted it on the palm, and said, "I don't miss you anymore, I thought of you at home, so I came over." ”

Zhao Zhile smiled, helped Aunt Dai cross the threshold, and the two walked into the courtyard together.

The small courtyard of the farmhouse is not as good as the courtyard of the mansion, compared to the emptiness in the courtyard of Fangcheng, a table and a chair can already show the strength of the owner.

Aunt Dai sat on the bench next to the recliner, and Zhao Zhi found a teacup, poured it full of water and handed it over.

Aunt Dai happily took the teacup and put it on the wooden table in front of her, looked at Zhao Zhi, who was smiling and saying little in front of her, and secretly praised herself.

is such a virtuous daughter-in-law, how did Sun Ce get back then, and I don't know how much benefit the matchmaker of this matchmaker received in private.

When Zhao Zhi sat down on the bench, Aunt Dai, who had never spoken, finally opened her mouth.

"I came here today, mainly for Fang Cheng's dead father. ”
