Meiqin agreed and went to tidy up the house.

Ye Qiuhuang said: "Old lady, don't be idle, go buy some food, and make a delicious meal in the evening. Spring, please treat Mr. Qi well, and I will go to the town government to find the mayor Zhao."

Ye Qiuhuang and his wife Ah Zhen both went out.

Ye Chunlai accompanied Qi Wufei to chat some gossip, mainly introducing the scenery around the Huoyan Mountain.However, Ye Chunlai's eloquence was limited, and his words were dry and unattractive.

Seeing that Xiaoqing didn't seem to be very interested in what his father said, Ye Wen took the initiative to walk over and said, "I have toys upstairs, do you want to play with them?"

Although Widow Wang bought a lot of things to go up the mountain after Xiaoqing transformed into a form, she didn’t treat Xiaoqing as a child in general, so most of them were for clothes. Only there are no toys for children.

When Xiaoqing heard that there was a toy to play with, her childlike innocence was moved, and she said happily, "Really? What's so interesting about it?"

Ye Wen said: "There are building blocks, puzzles, skateboards, dolls... There are so many. My aunt even bought me a drone last year."

Xiaoqing looked at Qi Wufei, and seeing Qi Wufei nodding, happily followed Ye Wen upstairs to play.

Kun Nu always sat quietly beside Qi Dufei.

After a while, Ye Chunlai's wife, Meiqin, came over and told them that the room was ready, and asked them to check it out.So he took Qi Fufei and Kun Nu to the room on the second floor.

"This is a guest room, specially for guests. Mr. Qi, you can stay here. The room next to it belongs to the second sister Hongshuang. She won't come back anyway, so let your two junior sisters live in it. I don't know the room. After tidying up, the sheets and mattresses are all newly changed, Mr. Qi, please let me know if there is anything else you need."

Qi Wufei took a look. The rooms were clean and tidy, and they all faced south. They were dry and airy, and would not have a stale smell due to no one living there all year round.

He nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's ok, thank you sister-in-law."

Meiqin said, "Thank you, they are all from us!"

When he was about to go downstairs, the sound of the toy Kaka turning and Xiaoqing's laughter came from the opposite room.

Qi Wufei shook his head and went downstairs.

Ye Wen has already taken out all the toys that he has treasured for several years, and they are spread all over the floor like a street stall.

Xiaoqing thinks that every toy is fun, but she is impatient and extremely destructive, and the toys are quickly broken in her hands.

Looking at the rubbish all over the floor, Ye Wen felt a little distressed.

He usually regards these things as treasures, and will carefully preserve them after each time he plays.But it took less than an hour, and it was all useless.

But he didn't show any dissatisfaction, and continued to take out new toys, introducing them to Xiaoqing one by one, and then continued to watch Xiaoqing play with them.

For a while, Xiaoqing was immersed in a pile of complicated building blocks.From this, she thought of Qimen Dunjia, as if she had caught a glimmer of inspiration.

Ye Wen thought he could finally stop the destruction and keep the last few toys left.

But after several failed attempts, Xiaoqing lost patience again.She discovered that Qimen Dunjia was far more complicated than this pile of blocks.

"Oh, these building blocks are so rigid that they don't change at all!"

After one complaint, the building blocks were completely scrapped.

Ye Wen said helplessly, "Shall we fly drones?"

"Are drones fun?"

"Of course it's fun, it can fly very high."

"How tall is it?"

Xiaoqing didn't have much hope for flying high, and it was impossible to fly to Nantianmen.

"It can fly as high as hundreds of floors." Ye Wen said in an exaggerated tone.

Xiaoqing was not very interested.

"Aside from flying high, what else can he do?"

"You can still take pictures! Shooting from a very high place, the angle of the video is different from what we usually see."

Xiaoqing was somewhat interested in taking pictures, so the two hit it off, took the drone and ran to the hillside behind the house, where there was no one there, and they could fly casually.

Qi Wufei and Ye Chunlai chatted casually about the past history and folk customs of Huoyan Mountain and Fenglai Town.

Only then did he know that Fenglai Town was not called Fenglai Town, but Hongshi Village.

People lived here as early as 1000 years ago.Because of the Huoyan Mountain, the nearby stones were all red at that time, so the houses built were also red.Every ten years, the people here will gather together with people from other places around the Flame Mountain to pray to the sky and ask the gods for rain.

Later, a plantain fairy came from the south, and with a plantain fan, he fanned the cool wind, and this place became an oasis.So Hongshi Village was renamed Fenglaizhou, and later renamed Fenglai Town.

There is another legend that Tang Xuanzang, a famous monk from Nanfangbuzhou, once passed here. In order to cross the Flame Mountain, he went to the Plantain Immortal to ask for a plantain fan.He used a plantain fan to extinguish the flames of the Flame Mountain at the entrance of Hongshi Village. Since then, Hongshi Village has been renamed Fenglai Town.

From Ye Chunlai's mouth, Qi Wufei discovered that the people here are not very clear about the story of Journey to the West. Although there are some legends, they are completely different from the world in his previous life where almost everyone knew the story of Journey to the West and Monkey King.

There is also a third kind of legend that has been widely circulated—it is said that Fenglai Town was originally called neither Fenglai Town nor Hongshi Village, but Fenglai Valley.

Because Huoyan Mountain was also called Phoenix Mountain in the past, and it was the home of Phoenix.Fenglai Valley is just to the east of Flaming Mountain. Whenever the Phoenix flies out or comes back from the outside, it will stay here, so it is called Fenglai Valley.

Later, because the environment of the Huoyan Mountain continued to deteriorate, the phoenixes all migrated away.The name of Fenglai Valley was gradually rumored as Fenglai Valley, and finally became Fenglai Town.

As for the cause of the flaming mountain, there are various theories.

One said that demons once appeared here, and they were punished by heaven, and divine fire fell from the sky, turning the whole mountain into a mountain of flames.

It is said that there is a monster named Flame Beast living on the mountain. It has no entity and is covered in flames. Wherever it passes, it will turn into scorched earth and no grass will grow.

People in Fenglai Town generally believe in the second type, because many of their ancestors have seen this kind of monster, and the most recent one was just a few decades ago.It is said that although this kind of monster is terrifying, it is very timid. It runs away when it sees people and hides in the depths of the Flame Mountain.

Of course, today's young people believe in science more.

According to scientific research, Huoyan Mountain is very old, but the time it takes to form the current landform is not long, only about 3000 years.Scientists believe that about 2000 years ago, a meteorite landed here, which caused the surrounding area to become scorched earth.

But scientists can't explain why the Flame Mountain is still so hot after the meteorite landed for so many years, and the central area is still a mysterious place that humans cannot enter.

Chapter 510 IX, The Kid Kneeling

In the evening, Ye Qiuhuang came back.

He looked a little tired, but seemed in a good mood.

As soon as he came back, Ah Zhen ran out of the kitchen and asked him, "What's the matter, what did Mayor Zhao say?"

Ye Qiuhuang said: "Don't worry, the mayor has agreed to help us be a middleman and go make peace with Ruan Tianming."

"Will it work?"

"Of course it works. He is the mayor after all! No matter how domineering Ruan Tianming is, he can't openly fight against his superiors. Besides, Ruan Shaoxiong made the mistake first this time, and the mayor is in the middle to mediate. It shouldn't be a big problem. The worst thing is to compensate him. Apologize to him for medical expenses, after all, he was injured."

Ah Zhen was still a little worried: "Then, what if Ruan Tianming asks our family Hongni to marry him if he puts forward conditions?"

Ye Qiuhuang said: "I've thought about this too, but now it's not the old days. What's the matter with the parents and the matchmaker? The children's affairs are decided by the children themselves. In fact, it's good to talk about it." , to save Ruan Shaoxiong from always pestering him in the future."

"But, can Ruan Tianming let us go? Wouldn't he say one thing in front of the mayor and do another behind his back?"

"Don't worry, Lao Zhao is a decent person. Since he has made a promise in front of me, he will definitely be able to do it. We have to trust Lao Zhao and the government. In the past few years, the police force and the security team have been in Lao Zhao's hands. If Ruan Tianming really dares to make trouble, he will take this opportunity to rectify the atmosphere in the town."

After Ye Qiuhuang said this, the family members felt at ease and happily prepared dinner.

But Qi Wufei knew that this matter was not that easy.If Ruan Tianming was so easy to deal with, how could Ruan Shaoxiong dare to bury people alive?

But since Ye Qiuhuang was confident, he didn't say much, so as not to ruin his family's happiness.

Anyway, I'm here these days, there is really something that can help them get ahead.But to solve the fundamental problem, they still have to rely on themselves.Just like what Ye Qiuhuang said, he could save them for a while, but not forever.

At this time, Ye Wen suddenly rushed in from the outside, sweating profusely and looking excited, and knelt down in front of Qi Wufei with a plop.

"Master, meet Master!"

Everyone in the room, including Qi Wufei, was stunned.

"Xiaowen, what are you doing? Get up quickly, don't be naughty." Meiqin scolded.

Ye Wen said: "No, I want to be a teacher! I want to learn skills! I want to become a fairy!"

Qi Wufei looked at Ye Wen who was kneeling on the ground, and at the sly smile on Xiaoqing's face who walked in leisurely from behind, and guessed something.

Xiaoqing noticed Qi Wufei was looking at her, knowing that she couldn't hide it from her senior, so she came over and whispered in Qi Wufei's ear: "Senior brother, I helped you take in an apprentice."

"Nonsense!" Qi Wufei reprimanded.

It's not that he doesn't want to accept Ye Wen as an apprentice, but it's not that simple to accept an apprentice.

Qi Wufei has high hopes for the future of Pansi Ridge, but the current situation is very complicated, and every step must be taken carefully, and no mistakes can be tolerated.

You must be cautious when accepting apprentices, especially the first disciple.

Although Ye Wen's performance satisfied him, it was the first day they met after all.

Human nature is complicated. The so-called horsepower is known from a distance, and people's hearts can be seen through time.Even a god can't see through a person all at once.Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many gods who took in the wrong apprentices. Even saints like Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu had traitors?

What's more, if you want to accept Ye Wen as an apprentice, you have to ask the master of the Ye family.Neither Ye Qiuhuang nor Ye Chunlai said anything, so it was impossible for Qi Wufei to agree just because Ye Wen knelt down.

No one in the room spoke, Ye Wen was a little flustered.

"Grandpa!" Ye Wen looked at Ye Qiuhuang as if asking for help.

Ye Qiuhuang said with a sullen face, "Kids, don't mess around. Mr. Qi came to Fenglai Town on the first day and saved your life. You are still hungry now! Well, it's time for dinner. Get up and go to store Take out the altar of old wine I hid from the cupboard, and Mr. Qi and I will have a good drink."

Ye Wen didn't dare to disobey, and stood up to get the wine.He saw Xiaoqing wink at him, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

Although Ye Chunlai felt that it was good for his son to learn from Qi Wufei, just like her second sister, even if he seldom went home in the future, at least he was considered promising, and it was better than staying here in Fenglai Town and being bullied.

But Ye Qiuhuang didn't agree, so Ye Chunlai naturally didn't dare to speak.What's more, Qi Wufei didn't seem to have any intention of accepting apprentices.

Ye Hongni also supported Ye Wen's apprenticeship.After being slapped twice by Ruan Shaoxiong, she deeply felt helpless and powerless.If conditions permit, she even hopes that she can also be taught martial arts by a strange person, just like her sister.

Ye Wen's grandma Zhen and mother Meiqin are full of contradictions.On the one hand, they hoped that Ip Man would be successful, but on the other hand, they were reluctant to let their children leave their side.

Especially Ah Zhen, the longer her daughter Hongshuang was away from home, the more she missed her.

The Ye family members have their own thoughts.

During dinner, Ye Qiuhuang opened the jar of wine brought by Ye Wen, and said: "This jar of wine was preserved when my father was young, and it is the real local old wine in Fenglai Town. Ah, no one knows it now, and now the young people in the town don’t have the patience to learn crafts. It’s a pity that I only wanted to read sage books, thinking that I could change the world by reading, and I didn’t like this craft. But I can’t drink the same taste as before.”

When he mentioned this taste, the wrinkles on his face suddenly opened, revealing a childlike smile, as if recalling the distant past.

The aroma of the wine in the jar wafted out and filled the whole room.

"Come on, Xiaowen, come and pour wine for Mr. Qi."

Ye Wen obediently took the wine jar and poured Qi Wufei a glass.Then he poured Ye Qiuhuang a cup.

When he was about to pour wine for Ye Chunlai, Ye Qiuhuang stopped him.
