Chapter Fifty-Six: Under the Tree

"They didn't leave until you came, and almost everyone in the surrounding villages and towns knew the word Lin Feng. In short, before this villain is caught, it is better to use a pseudonym first, so as not to get into trouble. Also, the sword that came with you is still at the entrance to the town, so if it's a little better, go get it back."

The old man sat on a wooden chair beside him, and the little boy walked in with a bowl of hot porridge and handed it directly to Lin Feng, making some noises in his mouth, and gesturing in his hand for him to eat some. Then he turned a small cloth bag behind his back, took out the kitten and put it beside Lin Feng, and then made some gestures.

Follow-up comparisons of these actions, Lin Feng naturally couldn't understand it, so he could only ask the old man with his eyes. Li Zhongyan saw the former's confusion, and said, "Childe doesn't need to be surprised, this child went to play in the mountains when he was young and lost his soul, and he has been unable to speak since then, he should have been wiped out by the demon fairy in the mountain. It's also strange and pitiful, so I asked him to help with chores in this medicine hall, which can be regarded as a way to survive."

Lin Feng nodded, it seems that this child is frightened to be like this, because it cannot be cured, it is often used in villages and towns to lose his soul, which is also caused by Taoism. The kitten is still asleep, and its small body is now so skinny that it is about to lose its life.

The old man sighed lightly, "This civet cat has not been able to wake up since it came with you, thinking that it was on the mountain to block the demon for you, so you saved your life, but it can't survive, and it must not be able to survive tonight." Childe, let's rest first, our town is peaceful, as long as you don't go to the mountains."

"Old man, what are you talking about?"

"Hey, it's strange to say, there have been rumors in the town about the evil in the mountains, but very little is known. It is rumored that there is a beautiful girl on the mountain, with a white body, and when she meets someone passing by, she will lead her to the mountain, and after some play, she will ignore it, and many outsiders get lost in the mountains and come to the town."

The old man paused for a moment when he spoke, and seemed a little embarrassed, "But when the people of the town went to the mountains to catch demons, they encountered not a girl wearing feathers as rumored by outsiders, but an adult woman with a charming and attractive appearance. More than ten years ago, three disciples came to Luoyinxuan, and they went to the mountain with dozens of people in the town, and when they came back, these dozens of people were all naked and hugged each other, which can be described as extremely embarrassing."

Lin Feng frowned, under such a description, this monster was very similar to the sky fox and the deceitful bird he saw in his dream, and immediately asked, "Old man, dare to ask if the naked person who came back has been charmed?" Also, does the girl have a black feather like long hair draped behind her back and up to her waist?"

"Oh, Childe has seen a monster in the mountains, are you also deceived into falling from a high place?"

"Not really, I've seen two monsters in my dream, which are very similar to your description."

The old man was very surprised, his gaze fell on Lin Feng for a large number of moments before retracting it, and nodded lightly, "What the son said is very similar to the rumors."

Lin Feng was silent, and after thinking for a moment, he asked, "Old man, did Luo Yinxuan and the three of them return to the mountain gate after returning to the town?"

"Hey, don't mention it. The three girls are only eighteen years old, although they have been tricked into the art of charm and made rude acts, but it is related to how to face the innocence of their lives. When they woke up, the three women left letters and cut themselves. Then Luo Yinxuan came to inquire again, and the old man had to send the letter back, and since then, no disciples from any sect in our town have come. The demons in this mountain are even more uncared for, and the town has set a rule that no man or woman can go up the mountain together."

Chastity is more important than life, it is a woman's virtue, and even in the dusty place, there is an Oiran who only serves one person in his life, not to mention others. Needless to say, although there are no female disciples in the Shenyin Temple, the rules and precepts are stricter than those of other sects.

If you talk about women's morality, it should be Luoyinxuan's best, she has not dared to surpass it since she was a child, and it is not incomprehensible that she committed suicide due to a sudden change. However, this kind of thing did not spread, and it was thought that Luo Yinxuan did not say anything to the outside world, so it was kept as a secret.

"Why did the chief of ceremonies tell me about such a big event?" Lin Feng was puzzled, Luo Yinxuan was interested in blocking the news, and some of the old man's words were too refreshing, which made people very surprised.

The old man chuckled and nodded, "Hehe, the son is really like a mirror, so the old man can rest assured, you can know about this matter, don't talk about it to the outside world." As for why I told this matter, it was because the old man and granddaughter are now fifteen years old, and they have not been able to find a happy person, but they have a fate with their son. If the son is not married, you and I can change the marriage into a marriage, so how about it?"

Suddenly dumbfounded, I don't understand what the situation is at all, where is there a first time we meet, I have to entrust my granddaughter, such a pie in the sky thing will be scared no matter who comes.

The old man naturally saw Lin Feng's worries, and continued, "Don't panic, son, the old man is sincere, and there is no half-truth. Of course, such a big event also needs to be carefully considered. This wound will also take many days to heal, and the son here will think about it a lot, and if he wants to, he can get married."

Lin Feng was a little worried, got up and left the bed, but the old man did not stop him, but handed over a pair of crutches. I thanked him and left the house, no matter what, I got the god back first.

The old man followed behind him and pointed the way for himself, and in a short time he came to the entrance of the town, and the howling god was still on the ground. It's just that along the way, all the women I met were women, and every time they passed by, their eyes would fall on themselves, and there were many laughs and scolding, but the voices of the women were very small, and it was difficult to hear what they were saying, which made Lin Feng very curious.

Then he returned to the residence, and the old man did follow closely inch by inch, Lin Feng was already sweating on the edge of the bed, and after the wound was cleaned, the pain was even better than before, and he took a moment before he spoke, "Old man, why are there so many women in this town but no men?"

The old man knew that he couldn't hide it, and he didn't have too many concerns, "Hehe, this is Shuxia Town, there are many women in the town, and there are few men." There are only two hundred men in the town nowadays, so it's hard to meet."

Lin Feng was suddenly surprised. Shuxia Town is also very famous, the Central Plains know that there are very few men in this town, so the women in the town mostly marry far away, and it is also the norm for men in the town to have multiple wives. There are not many people in such a place, and the nearest village is also a hundred miles away from Shuxia Town, so there are many matchmakers to introduce them, but they can't change the scarcity of men in the town.

It's no wonder that when he first saw Lin Feng, he intended to marry his granddaughter. The Central Plains is dominated by women, so polygamas are not uncommon, and the town under the tree is so far away, there are not many women who can get married, and there are often people who have been lonely all their lives. Luoyin Xuan has many disciples, all of whom are from this town.

Today, there are only five or six thousand people in the town, but it is rumored that there were as many as fifty or sixty thousand people here in ancient times. The surrounding farmland is rich, but it is only because of the difficulty of the road that it has become this look. As a ceremonial chief, the old man naturally couldn't watch the town fall, so whenever someone passed by, he would try his best to promise him a family affair, but it wasn't just Lin Feng.

"Childe has heard of our ancient town, so don't worry, what the old man said is true. Although my granddaughter is still a little young, she has been proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and Tanaka can also bear it at home, so it is not an exaggeration to be the eldest wife. Of course, the old man is already old, and if the son is not bad at learning, when the eldest son in the family is old, the position of the eldest son will also be passed on to the son."

The chief of the ceremony is also forced to do so, Shuxia Town has not seen outsiders arrive for three years, and the surrounding villages and towns all know that there are demons in the mountains who dare not come here, and even fewer people from afar can arrive. Lin Feng seemed to have become a must-choose, otherwise it would be difficult to arrange his precious granddaughter's affairs. Of course, his granddaughter will not marry anywhere else, and can only look for a son-in-law.

Lin Feng shook his head lightly, "The chief of the ceremony has good intentions, but I have a marriage contract, and I will get married when I go home, I can't break my promise to make her sad, I hope the old man can understand"

"It's okay, that's fine. However, if the son is interested, he can return to the town after marrying, and my granddaughter can be a concubine. It's just that I hope that Childe will be able to live in the town permanently and bring a little vitality to the town. That's the case today, Childe rest, if you need to say hello, someone outside the door will watch and don't worry."

The old man turned and left, and what he said should be considered a threat. Lin Feng lay on the bed and was not worried, he was not a nearby person, and it was only a matter of time before he left. It's just that he can't resist the sword, so it's a little troublesome how to get back to Lingyun.

Not to mention that this Shuxia Town is thousands of miles away from the Valley of Hundred Flowers, and it takes about a month to hike back to the mountain from the Valley of Hundred Flowers. The wound has not healed yet, and it is really difficult to leave recently, it is not bad to recuperate the injury first, but how to repay this kindness, you can't really marry the granddaughter of the old man and fall here all your life.

"Meow~~" The kitten made a sound like a mosquito flying, which might not be heard if it weren't for the silence around it. Turning his head, the kitten did not wake up, but the words of a dream, and sighed lightly, but this young life could not survive tonight.

In fact, he also appeared to die in a dream, if he didn't notice it in time, he might be the one who lost his life at this time, and put the civet cat on the futon to make it a little more comfortable, "Hey, you are also a bitter life, and it doesn't seem to be too long since you were born." But it's also a good thing, I didn't suffer the pain of the world, and it's not bad to die in a dream."

At this moment, the little boy walked in with a bowl of decoction, handed it to Lin Feng and gestured for him to drink it. The so-called good medicine is bitter, this medicine must be very good, after drinking it, the mouth is bitter and deep, and the little boy grinned and squeaked when he returned to the soup bowl, but he looked very excited, and from time to time he would point to the door, but it was never the meaning of letting himself go.
