After the matter of Sifang City was over, Feng Lingyuan led his disciples to travel all the way to the north. After that, they relied on their feet to stop and go all the way, trekking mountains and rivers. .

This road is relatively deserted, and the population is relatively sparse. I just got away from the bustling town and walked on the quiet road.

Flying birds and swimming fish are leisurely and quite wild.

Follow the joyously rushing stream all the way up.

"Wow~ The water is so cold and icy..."

"Junior sister, don't move, watch me catch fish for you, hey~"

"You misread Li Xian, that is the leaves of grass, and here are the fish..."

"Hehehehe, senior brother Li Sheng is so powerful, he caught it with bare hands..."

"No way, I can catch it too, okay? It's brother, you scared all the fish away..."

Unconvinced, the younger brother Lixian rolled up his trousers again, making a gesture to catch success.

After stopping to rest, a few people were playing. Li Hua didn't like to make trouble, but she was also interested in them playing in the water. She was holding a big reed leaf by the stream, and when she caught a fish, she helped her brothers and sisters to hold it. .

Of course the eldest disciple, Li Jing, didn't want to play around with them. He went upstream to fetch a few tubes of clear and sweet stream water.

"Hey, don't get your clothes wet—"

"I know~"

Li Hua had no time to respond to him, the other three were so focused that they didn't dare to speak loudly because they were afraid of startling the fish.

"How's the road ahead?"

Feng Lingyuan asked while meditating under the shade of a tree.

Since Li Jing was also in charge of finding the way, he replied,

"There should be a village ahead. I have seen several families. One of them has a black dog. I just wanted to chase it..."

The black dog just now was so sensitive that it could sense someone passing by from such a distance.

"Well, let's go over and ask later, or do you like to sleep in the wild?"

"Uh...it's not like..."

Master is really, you can joke.

Li Jing didn't feel uncomfortable in the wild, he could get used to it, and he slept almost anywhere, mainly because the young ones could rest better if they could spend the night with someone in the village.

……

"Wang-"

Before he reached the door of the farmer's house, the black dog had already started barking.

Li Jing had no choice but to knock on the door brazenly.

"Is anyone home?..."

A figure could be vaguely seen moving in the courtyard, but there was no sound.

It stands to reason that at least the host will react a little bit.

Li Jing felt a little strange, so he knocked on the door patiently and asked again, waiting.

"Who are you?"

Inside, through the crack of the door, a female voice sounded.

It turned out that there was only one woman at home.

Li Jing could sense that the host was sizing them up, so he gently explained why he asked for a stay.

"My family has an idle thatched cottage, if the elders don't mind it, but...the head of the house will be back later, just wait patiently..."

The woman said so without any vigilance, neither cold nor enthusiastic, and did not open the door for them immediately.

"Hey, I'm really bothering you..."

Li Jing bowed politely to the door, and then informed the master and the others of the result.

"We were also rude."

Feng Lingyuan nodded, expressing his understanding. Seeing that none of the apprentices showed any displeasure, and they all waited calmly, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

The character inspection has not found any problems so far.

……

When the sun was sinking, the host finally returned, and seeing a few strangers surrounded by the road outside his house, he thought something had happened, he was very surprised,

"How many of you are?"

"...My master and my disciples have traveled here, passed by the treasure land, and want to stay overnight..."

Li Jing said it again sincerely.

"It turns out to be an immortal master, please, please come in quickly, my mother, the honored guest is here, come quickly..."

The male owner of this family is named Hegui, with a stout figure, dressed in a coarse cloth jacket, dressed as a mountain villager, with a short-sleeved half-shirt casually folded on his upper body, revealing his muscular arms.

Carrying a load of things on their shoulders, they presumably just came back from the market, and after hearing their history, they warmly welcomed them in.

My mother was the woman behind the front door, and when she knew her husband was back, she also came out to entertain the guests generously.

She is about twenty years old, wearing a dress made of fine indigo blue cotton, with embroidered eyebrows inlaid on the skirt, surrounded by a pleated apron of arse color, and a pair of silver silk moiré bow shoes on her feet.

She didn't wear a smile on purpose, but she had a curvy head and crescent eyebrows, a tall cloud bun, and a graceful figure, which can be said to be romantic.

It doesn't look like a peasant woman's dress, and it seems that she is not on the same level as her rough husband, which is so contrary to harmony.

After holding the tea, the woman went to tidy up the guest room again, and the host and Gui chatted with each other.

The black dog under the eaves was barking happily before, but since the guests entered the door and it was reprimanded by the host, it languished, "wowed" in the corner, lying on the ground, if you observe carefully, it can still found it trembling.

Li Jing gave the master some medicines, talismans to exorcise evil spirits, and spiritual stones, which ordinary people can use, as a reward.

However, they didn't need to eat much, so they politely declined the meal prepared by the couple, saying that there was no need to bother.

Then I learned that this place is on the edge of Qiaoxi Village, He Guiping went up the mountain to cut firewood to make a living, occasionally hunted game, dug some herbs and sold them, but he was still able to live and be self-sufficient.

He loves his wife dearly and doesn't want her to do heavy work, so he leaves her to do the housework and do lighter work at home.

It's no wonder that my mother's fine fabrics, rouge and gouache, and silk flower hairpins on her hair are all missing, and her pair of jade hands are maintained like catkins, and she really hasn't suffered much.
