Chapter 24: Immortals, Monsters, and Ugly Trees

Yue Jin deliberately pulled his sister to take a detour to the less crowded route home, changing from the usual straight line to an arc, so that it would be convenient to discuss the collusion on the road.

I walked briskly through the cool shade of the trees, and I really didn't meet a few villagers.

Yue Jin glanced around, and whispered without stopping:

"I'll go back and ask Sister Meng Qing about the victory and negative compensation, to see how much the convention can be, we can't make a too exaggerated compensation claim, otherwise, the other party will be in trouble if the debt is repaid. ”

Yue Xi replied calmly: "They won't!"

The sister's words reminded Yue Jin Mo Ming of her calm saying yesterday, 'It doesn't dare', as if the words contained a similar taste, making him tremble in the sun.

There is a cool feeling in the cracks of the bones.

Yue Jin took his sister to walk under the shady big tree and on the grassy path, looked up at the white and bright sunny sky, hesitated, and dragged his sister to the sun.

"If you have been basking in the starlight for too long at night, you should also bask in the sun more to make up for it!"

Yue Xi doesn't have any opinion on the logic of starlight and sunshine, anyway, whether it is starlight or sunshine, sprinkled on her body, it makes her feel a comfortable feeling, a bit like the feeling of eating.

Just eat a little less.

Dim sum is not as good.

This always makes her feel extremely regretful.

Cuckoo!

Yue Jin was croaking with hunger.

"I heard that the immortals only bask in the stars and the moon, oh, and the sun, the wind and the dew, you can not eat, drink or be hungry, if we also have a fairy fate or a special physique, it would be good to be a fairy!"

On the way home at a trot.

Glancing at his sister, who is usually hungry faster and eating more, Yue Jin squinted at the scorching sun in the sky and sighed.

"Where are the immortals?"

Yue Xi's steps were not slow, and he turned his head seriously and asked.

"Hey, my sister also wants to be a fairy! I used to think like this when I was a child, of course, after reading the book, I knew that this was not true, so I ......" Yue Jin looked at his sister's questioning and determined gaze, and his playful expression paused.

Holding my sister in the sun and trotting for a while.

After thinking about it carefully, he said:

"I heard many years ago, it's a long, long time ago......"

Yue Jin seemed to be telling a story, and he was very involved in putting his voice as ethereal as possible.

“...... There will always be some immortals who like to come to the village on a heavenly boat, and the children in the town who have fairy fate go to the fairyland... I heard that those who go there can live forever... There is a legend that when a villager was old, he saw his childhood companion still come back like a teenager......"

"But!"

Yue Jin's expression suddenly became solemn, and he said in a low and hard manner:

"There are also some ill-intentioned Mao Shenshan goblins pretending to be fairies and tricking children everywhere to eat, so you can't go out alone at night, don't go with people you don't know, don't go too far from the village, and you have to be careful with Dabai......"

Yue Jin seemed to think of something, and glanced at Yue Xi a little weakly.

Added:

"Ahem, of course, monsters are generally able to talk, eat children and strange-looking things, monsters won't give you food, they will only want to eat you, and Dabai is just a little more spiritual......"

Yue Xi nodded and asked seriously, "Can that monster eat it?"

Yue Jin froze, and thought sadly: Sure enough, he can't expect his sister to care about things other than eating, and even the stories of the fairies and monsters he liked to hear most in the past can't attract her.

"Monsters, weird-looking, who knows if it's poisonous!"

Yue Jin made it up casually, looking around all the way to get this matter over.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"The taste that can be eaten is definitely not good, just like that strange-looking ironwood, you see, is it very ugly, and it is not mature, I heard that it has existed in the village for hundreds of years, but it is not long, and it is full of pimples, and when the firewood is burned, it is too hard to cut, and it is too crooked and strange to use it to make guns and arrows......"

Yue Xi followed the hand of 'brother' Yue Jin and looked into the distance.

There was indeed a strange-looking tree with black bark, a tree that should have stood upright like the tip of a spear, but it seemed to have a strange disease growing all the way, and it was covered with lumps from the part that was obscured by the grass.

It's still twisting and turning.

Even if Yue Xi has no memories of the past, he feels that it is the first time in his life that he has seen such an ugly tree, all kinds of dissonance and unnaturalness, and his eyes are swollen.

However, the tree is not ugly and has nothing to do with her.

This is far away from the courtyard of the house in the village, basically the corner of the village, from here a little past is the small river, along the side of the small river, is where the small courtyard of the Yue family is.

Yue Xi just wants to go home for dinner quickly.

"The people in the village say that if this tree is raised again, it may become a sperm, you see, do you want to eat it? Can you eat it? The ugly ones are spirits! The ones who are not old are not necessarily immortals!"

Yue Jin concluded.

Yue Xi's footsteps did not stop, her expression was still calm, and she asked again: "Where are the immortals?"

"Well, I don't know where there are immortals......"

Yue Jin took his sister and slowly walked around the ugly tree, scratched his scalp, looked at his sister and explained with difficulty: "Actually, I only heard Mr. Ye say that immortals are actually two concepts, but he didn't say much at the time, but he didn't say ......much at the time," so he said two words casually.

He struggled to recall.

"Mr. Ye only said that if you have a special physique, you may have a chance. ”

"What chance?"

Yue Xi didn't ask about what special physique Yue Xi asked, and she didn't necessarily know if she asked, she felt that she should be very special, if nothing else, there must be a special physique.

"I don't know, Mr. Ye only smiled and told me not to give up studying, saying that as long as I become a scholar, I will know. ”

Vincent?

Yue Xi blinked with big eyes, groaned for a moment and asked:

"Is it okay for Wusheng?"

"I don't know, but Uncle Meng may know, after we go to school in the afternoon, let's go and ask him!"

Yue Xi nodded: "Okay!"

This is the end of the discussion between the two brothers and sisters about the immortals, and it won't work if it doesn't end, it's home, especially, Yue Niang, whose expression can't see her joy and anger, is standing at the gate of the courtyard and looking at them.

The thin branches that could be used as brooms were visibly clinging to the wall inside the courtyard gate.

The two didn't know why, and they didn't dare to say anything for a while.

Yue Xi only felt that it was not appropriate to speak at this moment.

'It's over, I forgot to confess. ’

Yue Jin beat the drum in his heart, the thought flashed quickly, and the past experience of the organization was combined, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Mother! I was wrong!"

Admitting a mistake is actually quite simple.

Especially...... After speaking, Yue Jin's brain became more and more flexible, and he heard Yue Niang's flat voice asking: "What's wrong?" The reaction was basically the same as he guessed.

Yue Jin lowered his head and pulled his sister to tell her not to move.

Although I don't know if it's really so tacit, my sister Yue Xi did not speak, and Yue Jin was relieved.

After organizing the language, he closed his eyes and said with a heavy face:

"I shouldn't have dragged my sister to participate in my fight with my friends in the village because she was strong, although those people often laughed at me and laughed at my sister, but I should not worry about them when I went to school!"
