Chapter 42 Divide the house

After a few words of conversation, Bai Wei left the alchemy room with Claw Li and went to Elder Jiaolie's residence. The rest of Zhong Wuji faced these five disciples who blinked and looked at his disciples pitifully, like homeless children.

"Alas, five people...... I don't have that many places for you to live in my alchemy room. Zhong Wuji muttered to himself, then looked at everyone and asked, "Do you want to live in a house or a cave?"

"House!" said everyone except Red Eyebrow in unison.

Red Eyebrows were startled, and then said in a trembling voice, "Then, then I will live in a house too." ”

Zhong Wuzhi was a little surprised, He Ding and Long Li wanted to live in the house, he was not surprised, what about the other people?

"Can you three tell us why you want to live in a house?" Zhong Wuji asked, and everyone understood that he was referring to Red Eyebrow, Mantu, and Luo Meimei.

"I used to live in a human home, and I was used to life in a house. Luo Meimei said.

"Oh......" Zhong Wuji nodded with some sudden realization, it turned out that Luo Meimei lived with humans as a domestic cat when she was not a demon, and he seemed to understand why she chose herself.

"Mantu used to be there, in the tribe, and lived in wooden houses. Mantu replied.

"Your name is Mantu?" Zhong Wuzhi asked.

"Yes. ”

"Are you from the southern barbarian tribe?" Zhong Wuqi suddenly remembered something.

"Well, it seems like yes, my mom and dad often say that we are a barbarian clan. Mantu said.

"Then it's not surprising, it's a very powerful tribe, and our Niuqi Mountain Lord is from that tribe. It is said that your patriarch is also about to enter the period of tribulation, I don't know if it's true or not. Zhong Wuji said Ah Dao.

He Ding was stunned, he heard him say when he met Mantu before, Niuqi Mountain has his clansmen, Zhong Wuzhi said this, the clansman in Mantu's mouth turned out to be the lord of Niuqi Mountain?

"Grandpa the patriarch is very powerful, and Mantu likes to play with his beard very much. However, whether the patriarch is in the tribulation period, Mantu doesn't know, Mantu hasn't seen him for a long time. Mantu replied honestly.

"Oh, that's probably in retreat, in a few decades, there will be one more Tribulation Period powerhouse in this world. Zhong Wuji sighed.

"The great bull god blesses, the patriarch grandfather will definitely become a strong man in the tribulation period!" Mantu's big eyes were full of confidence.

Zhong Wuzhi nodded, it was a little unexpected for Mantu to have such a big background. I saw him look at Red Eyebrows and say, "What's your name?"

"Red, red eyebrows. The red eyebrows lowered his head, and he didn't dare to look at Zhong Wuji.

"You don't have to be nervous, since you have entered Niuqi Mountain, you are a family. Red eyebrows, can you tell me why you want to live in a house?" Zhong Wuji's tone was very gentle.

"I, I've been living underground or in a cave before, and I thought, I want to try a different environment. Red eyebrows said, in fact, he saw that everyone else had chosen the house, and if he chose the cave alone, he was a little lonely, so he also chose the house.

"I see. Zhong Wuji nodded and said.

"I don't have so many rooms in my alchemy room for you to live in for the time being, and if there are too many people, it won't be a good thing for me to make alchemy. There are a few thatched huts left over from the past on the hill near here, but now there are no people living in them, so let me take you there. Zhong Wuji said.

Several people nodded.

He Ding and the others followed Zhong Wuji, walked about half a mile in the mountains, and came to a relatively remote hillside, where they could see three thatched huts on the hill in the distance, the roofs were full of fallen leaves, and the plane trees were blooming all around.

When I walked in, I found that the thatched hut was already surrounded by waist-high weeds, swaying in the wind, and it looked like no one had taken care of the place for years.

"When I first joined Niuqishan, I lived here for a while, and then the alchemy house was built, so I moved there, and there was no one to take care of it, but I didn't expect it to be abandoned like this. Zhong Wuji said with emotion.

He Ding walked to the door of one of the rooms and looked inside. There weren't many weeds in the house, but a thick layer of dust had accumulated on the tables and chairs, and a few corners of the room were covered with cobwebs, and there was a dead silence.

"There's a lot of weeds here, so find a time to take care of it. Zhong Wuji said.

"But there are only three rooms here, and there are five of us, how should we divide them?" Luo Meimei was very concerned about this matter.

"Actually, I wanted you to assign it yourself, but since you asked so, then I'll assign it to you. Zhong Wuji thought for a while and said, "These big men should live separately from you, Luo Meimei, you live alone, do you have any opinions?"

This answer was just what Luo Meimei liked, she smiled slightly, and said, "No." ”

"Then it's simple, He Ding Longli, the two of you live in one room. Mantu Red Eyebrows, the two of you live in one room. Zhong Wuji announced.

For this distribution, everyone naturally felt that it was more reasonable, and they didn't say much. Only Red Eyebrow was a little unhappy in his heart, he opened his mouth, thought about it and closed it.

"Well, the accommodation has been arranged. The rest of the daily necessities, bedding, bed sheets and so on, I will ask Bai Wei to send them to you later. During this time, I suggest you can get rid of weeds, clean up dust or something. Zhong Wuji clapped his hands and turned to leave.

Leaving five people in place, somewhat overwhelmed.

Is our life about to begin here?

The first to do it was the more obedient Mantu, who saw that as soon as he grabbed and pulled out his two hooves, two waist-high weeds were uprooted, and the broken soil was splashed, almost without much effort.

Seeing this, He Ding patted Long Li and said, "Don't just stand, let's go and help." ”

Moments later, Red Mei and Luo Meimei also joined the weeding team. Unlike the other three, both of them have sharp claws, coupled with good cultivation in the wisdom period, they can easily harvest a large field of weeds with one claw. With the two of them joining, the progress of weeding has sped up a lot.

After more than half an hour of hard work, the weeds on this hill were finally cleared, and He Ding watched the tall weeds piled up next to the house and wiped some sweat from his forehead. Long Li found a few rags out of nowhere, distributed them to everyone, and began to clean up the dust and cobwebs in the house.

The sun finally sank into the horizon, and the sky gradually darkened. The area around the thatched huts is relatively remote, and there are no lights to illuminate, making it quiet and cold.

He Ding, who had completed the clean-up work, saw a white figure at the foot of the hillside from a distance, and knew that it was Bai Wei who was coming, and said to himself, "It's finally here." ”

By the time Bai Wei walked up the mountain, the five of them were already standing in front of the door waiting for him.

"I've been waiting for a long time, there aren't many of these things in Niuqi Mountain, and it took me some time to find them for you for a long time. Basically, it's the leftover that someone else used before, so you can use it. Bai Wei opened his mouth and apologized, and then took out a bag and handed it to He Ding.

"It's okay, we've just cleaned up the room. He Ding waved his hand and said.

Bai Wei explained some trivial matters and left in a hurry. He Ding took out the contents of the bag, distributed the bedding and other household utensils into each room, and then lit the oil lamp, and this busy day was over.

He Ding and Long Li sat on the edge of the bed, although the bed was a little small, it was not a problem to sleep with their figures. He Ding suddenly thought that with such a big figure as Mantu, Red Eyebrows estimated that there would be no place to sleep, so he couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Long Li was puzzled.

"No, nothing. He Ding said.

"Cut. Long Li glanced at He Ding, took off his shoes and got into the futon, "Master Long, I'm going to sleep, just laugh, don't wake me up." ”

He Ding was silent, feeling that he was tired this day, so he also got into the quilt.

"You're not smiling?" asked Long Li.

"Stop laughing. ”

The room fell silent all of a sudden, and He Ding seemed to have forgotten something, got out of bed, walked to the table, blew out the oil lamp, and then got into the quilt.

Although it is summer, it is also very cool on Niuqi Mountain at this time, and it is a little chilly at night.

"The path of cultivating immortals, is this about to begin?" He Ding thought as he looked at the ceiling, and the emotions in his heart gradually became complicated, he recalled that night more than a year ago, accompanied by the snoring of Long Li, and then closed his eyes in a deep light.
