Chapter Twenty-Seven: I'm so entangled
He Yi's silence again reminded the woodcutter and the hunchbacked old man of something else. In their opinion, the valley lord is unfathomable, and his words have always been full of deep meaning. This new young man may be going through something difficult to choose.
The hunchbacked old man looked at He Yi with some confusion for a while, and then asked the valley master: "Valley master, where does this person come from? You said that he is an outsider, does he have nothing to do with that girl?"
The valley lord smiled, drank the flower tea, and replied: "The relationship is there, but it's different from what you think." Let's let him be quiet for a few days, the old man is about to go out of the valley, and I will talk about what I will do when I return. ”
With that, he got up and walked to the mouth of the valley, while a young donkey, unled, came out of the corner under the hut and followed him.
When He Yi came back to his senses, the valley master had long since disappeared, and the tea in his hand was cold again.
The hunchbacked old man patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "The valley lord allows you to stay in the valley, you can meditate for a few days, and if there is anything to wait for him to come back, he will talk about it." ”
The woodcutter also said, "If you are free, you can also go to the tree house to see the girl." It can be seen that you have a lot of relationship with her. But I'm a little curious, since you're not her biological father, what is your relationship?"
He Yi was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't react to the meaning of this. By the time he wanted to ask, the woodcutter and the hunchbacked old man had already gone about their business.
Bowing his head and pondering for a while, his thoughts were a little confused, he drank the flower tea in one gulp, and the fragrant smell entered his stomach with the cool tea, bringing a touch of clarity of thought.
Come to think of it, in fact, the so-called chaos is mostly temporary. When the mood is adjusted and you get used to this reunion after a long absence, everything will be fine.
After all, after so many years, he rarely hesitated.
It's just that...... If a reunion after a long absence is placed on two people who have lost their memory, can it still be regarded as a reunion after a long absence?
Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, He Yi walked out of the shade of the old pear tree and walked in the direction of the grove that he didn't know where it was, but it was certainly not a grove.
At this time, looking back, he had forgotten the appearance of the old valley master, except that it was an old man, all he could think of was a pair of wise eyes with a very shallow impression.
The mysterious valley, the mysterious valley owner, everything here is full of unusual flavors, maybe the Great Smoky Mountains outside exist to protect this small valley.
From the perspective of a celestial immortal who could fly over hundreds of thousands of miles in an instant, this Immortal Valley was indeed very small, and the end of the basin-shaped valley was only about the size of a few hundred zhang in a square circle. Hundreds of zhang, that is, three or two miles, excluding small forests, small hills, and small lakes, it is only the size of an ordinary village. There are more houses near the exit, and the rest of the place is scattered.
He Yi walked from the entrance pear tree to the farthest small lake, and saw men, women and children all the way, and appreciated all kinds of different atmospheres. There are about 300 people living here, including children, and they have not used their divine thoughts to probe, so it is not very clear whether they are strong or weak, but it is conservatively estimated that there should be three or two Vientiane monks.
Walking along the path, the faint fragrance of wildflowers wafts from the roadside. He Yi avoided the grove and walked to the small lake at the bottom of the valley before stopping.
This small lake is actually a larger pond, the water is very shallow, less than five feet, and the water is also very clear, and the fish, shrimp and turtles at the bottom of the water can be clearly seen.
The Valley of Eternal Life was not big, and although he deliberately avoided the grove, when he stopped at the lake, it was still very close to the grove, because the two were actually adjacent. There was no one living around the lake, but there was a beautiful young woman on the shore of the lake who was washing her clothes with her sleeves rolled up.
The lake is very quiet, even the sound of birds and birds is very rare, and the sound of washing clothes is extraordinarily prominent, which unconsciously attracts He Yi's attention.
Although I didn't see a straight face, the woman who washed the laundry should be very beautiful, just a silhouette, it gave people the impression of being beautiful and quiet, and there was no feeling of a peasant woman washing clothes by the river. He Yi didn't use his divine thoughts to sense the other party's breath, but he knew from his intuition that the woman was just a mortal, one of the few mortals in this Immortal Valley.
At this time, the woman's clothes had been washed, and she stood up holding the wooden basin for laundry, and only then did she see He Yi. Maybe because she had never seen it before, her gaze stayed on He Yi's face for a moment, and then nodded politely as a greeting, ready to go home.
He Yi saw her face and confirmed his conjecture. It was really a beauty, with two curved willow eyebrows as if painted in ink, a pair of phoenix eyes like delicate carvings, delicate nose, dotted lips, and pointed chin. There are countless beauties in the world, and each one has its own style. This woman not only has good-looking facial features, but also has a gentle temperament between her eyebrows.
He Yi returned her a kind smile, although his gaze stayed on her face, but it only stayed at the level of appreciation, and there was no more meaning.
The woman was about to go back with her washed clothes, but she never thought that there was something under her feet to block her! She kicked on a small rock by the lake carelessly, lost her balance in an instant, and fell forward with a scream!
Seeing this, He Yi's body moved, so he directly crossed a few zhang space to support her, and at the same time, he grabbed all the clothes and put them back in the wooden basin.
casually did a small favor, and he didn't take the opportunity to take advantage of others, and after the woman stood up, he let go of her, and said casually: "Are you okay?"
The woman palpitated when she almost fell, she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief before replying: "Thank you Mr. for saving me, the concubine is fine." ”
He Yi nodded, handed the wooden basin back to her, and was about to have a casual conversation, but unexpectedly, a breath quickly approached from the direction of the woods, alarming him!
Subconsciously swept away, a small figure in the grove was rushing to this side, and after a while, it was near the lakeside!
He was taken aback, it was a little girl of eleven or twelve years old, wearing a slightly larger sword shirt, and carrying a sword on her back that matched her figure! It was none other than the little girl with a cloud of soul that he didn't know how to face and wanted to avoid for the time being!
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" the little girl was very agile, and she came to the shore of the lake in three or two steps, grabbed the woman's arm, and looked her up and down. After finding that it was okay, he noticed He Yi next to him, then frowned, put his little hand on the hilt of the sword, and said angrily at him: "Demon! dare to bully my mother, look at the sword!"
Obviously, it was the scream of the woman who was about to fall that attracted her, and He Yi, who was holding the woman, was close at the moment, and it was natural that she was misunderstood by her immature heart.
With a choking sound, only a two-foot-long sword was immediately unsheathed! It was not a wooden sword for children to play with, but a high-grade flying sword with fine light and shining silver!
"No!" the gentle woman exclaimed in surprise and wanted to stop her daughter's Hu Lai, but with her mortal reaction speed, the flying sword had already touched He Yi's body when she shouted.
He Yi is the cultivation of the Qingming realm, and the little girl who was reincarnated by Yun Xuan has just built a foundation, and it is impossible to touch a corner of his clothes if he really does it. But He Yi didn't even dodge at the moment, and directly let the tip of the sword stab him in the shoulder. In order not to let his body subconsciously resist and hurt the other party, he even deliberately collected his strength.
He didn't need to dodge, because an attack of this magnitude wouldn't hurt him at all. But in fact, he didn't hide because he didn't need to hide, but he didn't want to hide, or he forgot to hide.
The feeling in his heart at this time is beyond words. After searching for hundreds of years, from the mountain and sea realm to the Hunkun realm, and then all over the Tianyun Continent, at this time finally let him get his wish, which is worth rejoicing. But when he was faced with a little girl who was only eleven or twelve years old, he felt that he was a little ...... Depressed feelings.
It's not confusion, it's not hesitation, he doesn't have time to think about those questions about the future at this time. His frustration was due to the fact that he felt as if he had come a little earlier. In the face of such a young child, even if he has a thousand words, he can't say it! This feeling is really panicking.
The tip of the sword was in He Yi's shoulder socket, but it didn't stab down. He Yi saw the little girl glaring at him with cross-eyebrows, and couldn't help but panic a little in his heart, for fear that she would be angry and ignore herself in the future.
Fortunately, the gentle woman quickly relieved him.
"Stop, you girl, why do you start without asking?" The woman first stopped the little girl, hurriedly grabbed her hand holding the sword and pressed it down, and said: "Fang Cainiang stumbled, if it weren't for this uncle's action, maybe she would have fallen and injured herself." You're no big or small, you're really getting more and more ignorant! Put away your sword and apologize to your uncle!"
These words were both an explanation and a reprimand, which directly deflated the little girl who wanted to be a swordsman to save her mother. She lowered her face and withdrew her sword, her mouth pursed, a look of displeasure and grievance.
Without waiting for the little girl to speak, He Yi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's a small thing, it's just a small thing, if you don't get in the way, you don't need to apologize." ”
This move is really helpless, he doesn't want to be apologized on the first day of meeting, and he doesn't want to be called "uncle" before they officially meet!
But he was too worried, because people didn't plan to apologize to him, even after listening to his mother's explanation, he just snorted and turned his head, refusing to say a word.
He Yi was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say. Seeing her daughter's stubborn appearance, the woman reprimanded her slightly, and then apologized to him: "The little girl is young and not very sensible, and I hope that Mr. will add more Haihan." ”
He Yi waved his hand again to indicate that it was okay, and the feeling in his heart became more and more strange.
A few words with the valley master just now made him think of the messy things, and his mood became a little depressed. But in fact, at such times, he is still happier anyway.
How much burden he will have to carry in the future, and what will be the result of them, he just thinks about it, and it is obviously impossible for him to leave here without doing anything. It's just that now he meets a little girl after all, and he can't open his mouth about that kind of thing between men and women no matter what. Not to mention anything else, the mother-in-law in front of me in her subjective will looks younger than him!
But there is no way, I have come here, and I can't hide until a few years later. He held back the strange feeling in his heart, pretended to be calm, and said, "The Immortal Valley is really extraordinary, even such a young child has already built the foundation of the Immortal Dao. Oh yes, in Xia He Yi, a casual cultivation, just arrived in the valley today. I don't know what Madame is called......? What's your name?"
