my man turned into a zombie
Chapter 22 Le Jia
Mr. Xu glanced at the people in the village, and sighed in his heart. After so many years, people have not changed their views on Le Jia, so what else can he say.In addition, Le Jia himself is also an introverted child, and he never takes the initiative to contact the villagers. It is understandable that this situation is difficult to change.
Mr. Xu collected his thoughts, looked at Yin Qi and the others, and nodded, "I'm sorry, I made you laugh, I'll take you to your residence right now, let's go."
Elder Xu walked ahead first, Yin Qi raised an eyebrow at Fang Yi, and walked to Elder Xu, "Old Xu, are you going to take us to that Le Jia's place now?"
Mr. Xu paused for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, it's not far ahead. I'm really sorry, because of what happened before, the people in the village are now relatively xenophobic, only Le Jia is not like this, so you live with Le Jia It's better together." As if thinking of something, Mr. Xu sighed after saying these words.Mr. Xu himself has received higher education. In this closed village, he can be regarded as an intellectual, so he sees some things very openly, but most people in the village believe in the ideology handed down by the older generation. , Their thinking has been deeply ingrained, and there is no way to change it, and the young people in the village have lived under the influence of their parents since they were young, and subtly, they are more or less influenced by their parents' ideas. —Such an unbelievable thing happened, and the villagers believed in some superstitions even more.
"It's nothing, but we want to know, will he mind if you take us to Le Jia's now?" Fang Yi also stepped forward and asked. Jia felt a little curious.
Elder Xu looked at Fang Yi and smiled, "You don't have to worry about that. That child Le Jia is very kind. He has no relatives since he was a child, and he is very happy for others to visit his house."
Yin Qi and Shen Muting looked at each other, and noticed that Mr. Xu used the word "no relatives", not "no parents".
Fang Yi nodded knowingly, "Didn't he live by himself since he was a child?"
Mr. Xu slowed down, "Hey, it's not a secret. Not long after the child of Le Jia was born, his parents and relatives all passed away one by one. I asked someone to tell his fortune, saying that the child was born to kill alone, so later There are no relatives who are willing to adopt him. Seeing that this child is pitiful, we asked outsiders to take him until he can support himself."
Yin Qi curled her lips, "Is it because of this reason that people in the village don't like him?"
Mr. Xu sighed, and said, "People in the village are superstitious. Le Jia was born, and his family suffered such a big change. This caused a great commotion in the village at that time. Le Jia moved out of the village, hey, although Le Jia worked very hard, taught himself the skills handed down from his family, inherited his father's skills, and occasionally helped the villagers, but he didn't like to talk, and every time he sneered With a gloomy look, it's not enough to try to change the impression of the villagers."
Having said that, Mr. Xu raised his head and looked at Fang Yi and the others seriously, "I'm telling you these things in the hope that you won't have a bad impression of Le Jia just because of what the villagers said just now, and don't go out of curiosity. Ask Le Jia about these things."
Shen Muting nodded with a smile, and said gently, "Mr. Xu, you think about Le Jia so much, don't worry, we will remember what you said."
Yin Qi also nodded, indicating that she understood.
"Hmph!" At this moment, a discordant voice came.
Yin Qi and the others looked over, and Qian Youzheng folded his arms and sneered with disdain, "Are you taking us to live with a funeral star?"
Elder Xu frowned and said, "Le Jia is not a dead star, you should be more polite, my child."
"Ha! It's a joke, I spend money to live with you for one night, and you let us live in a house of a mourner, old man, don't you think it's too much?"
Yin Qi and the others felt a little dissatisfied when they heard Qian You's unceremonious words, Shen Muting said, "I didn't know that Qian You was a superstitious person."
When Wang Yue heard Shen Muting's words, her tone was dissatisfied, "What? It's our freedom to think what we think, you should care about it, right?"
Shen Muting raised his hands in a good-tempered gesture of surrender, "ok! ok! I really can't control this. But if you don't want to live here, you can go out. There's still time."
Wang Yue snorted and didn't speak again.
Elder Xu held back his anger and said, "Young man, if you don't want to, you can leave, or you can ask yourself if anyone is willing to take you in."
Qian You glanced at Fang Yi, he still remembered that person's strength.At this time, Fang Yi looked at them indifferently, not knowing what he was thinking, Qian You suddenly felt a little confused, so he didn't say anything, turned around and left with Wang Yue and the boys behind him.
After Qian You left, Mr. Xu said to Fang Yi and the others, "I don't know if the three of you should go..."
Yin Qi shrugged, "I don't care, I don't believe in those things, Mr. Xu, please lead the way."
Seeing Fang Yi and Shen Muting also nodding, Mr. Xu felt a little relieved, and led them to continue walking towards Le Jia's house.
A house appeared in the distance, it was really alone, standing there alone.
Fang Yi moved his ears, and faintly heard the sound of beating.
When they got closer, the appearance of the house appeared in front of the four of them. This is undoubtedly a house with various traces. There are vegetable fields in the yard, but it is not the harvest season now, so there is nothing, but there is nothing outside the yard. There are quite a lot of ironware.
The sound of "dong dong dang dang" came from inside the room.
Yin Qi and the others looked over curiously. Through the open window, a boy about 16 years old was wielding a hammer and beating something. He was wearing a white vest on his upper body, which was already soaked in sweat and grew longer than his forehead. His bangs blocked the boy's eyes, only the boy's straight nose and tight mouth could be seen.
Mr. Xu yelled a few times outside, and Le Jia inside noticed that someone was coming.
Hearing the shout, Le Jia raised his head, glanced quickly at the crowd with his dark eyes, then walked to the door and opened it, noticing a new face, Le Jia glanced at Yin Qi and the three of them , there was no extra emotion in his eyes, and then Le Jia set his eyes on Mr. Xu, waiting for Mr. Xu to speak.
Old General Xu talked about the matter, and introduced Yin Qi and the three of them. During this period, Le Jia didn't say anything, but just listened quietly, without interjecting, and waited until Old Xu finished speaking before nodding his head in agreement. up.
"Okay, the three of them will stay here with you. I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first." Mr. Xu patted Le Jia on the shoulder, and said with a smile after seeing Le Jia's agreement.
"Hmm." Le Jia then said.
After sending Mr. Xu away, Le Jia turned his head to look at the three of Yin Qi, scratched his head, and said in a little embarrassment, "Well, please come in."
At this time, Le Jia was standing close to the entrance of the courtyard because he was seeing off Mr. Xu. On the contrary, Yin Qi and the three were closer to the entrance of the house.
"Pfft..." Yin Qi couldn't help finding out, thinking how could this child be as gloomy as Xu Lao said?It's just that she doesn't like to talk, but she still looks cute.Yin Qi took the initiative to step forward and hooked Le Jia's shoulder.
"Come on, little homeowner, take us in."
Le Jia turned around uncomfortably. It was probably the first time someone treated him like this. He looked at Yin Qi for a long time before realizing what Yin Qi said, and his face turned red all of a sudden.
As a result, Fang Yi's face turned completely dark.
Seeing that Le Jia was still blushing and fuzzy but didn't react, Yin Qi really wanted to tease him again.
"Ahem!" Fang Yi coughed heavily twice, signaling to Yin Qi that enough is enough.
Yin Qi curled her lips, let go of the hand on Le Jia's shoulder, and only realized when she was done—damn!Why do I listen to that guy so much? !
Glancing at Fang Yi, Yin Qi patted Le Jia, "Hi? Le Jia?"
"Ah?...Ah! I'm sorry, that...I, I..." It's not so much that Le Jia spoke incoherently, but because he didn't speak often, Le Jia didn't know how to speak in this situation.
Fortunately, Yin Qi waved her hand in a considerate manner, as if it didn't matter, completely forgetting who was the culprit who made Le Jia so embarrassed.
Le Jia looked at the three people in front of him, "Uh, everyone, let's go in." Then he took the lead and walked in.
After Fang Yi and the others went in, they could see clearly what the room looked like. The room was full of iron objects, and they turned out to be swords and the like.
The three of them looked at the room in surprise. Although the swords hanging in the room were not decorated too much, it could be seen from the light reflected from the swords that they were very sharp.
Yin Qi fixed her eyes on the place where she saw Le Jia from the window just now, and she was surprised to find that there were a series of configurations similar to ancient blacksmithing, with half-stretched iron on it. It was obvious that Le Jia was doing this kind of thing just now. .
"You actually used primitive methods to forge iron?" Shen Muting also noticed these things, pointing to Le Jia in surprise.
"Well." Le Jia said shyly, "This is a skill passed down from my ancestors. I don't want it to be lost here, so I tried to learn from my father's handbook."
"Oh." Shen Muting nodded, thought for a while and then said, "Very good, it's the first time I've seen such a good sword made by traditional methods."
Le Jia smiled shyly, "Thank you."
Yin Qi rolled her eyes, exchanged a glance with the silent Fang Yi, and then moved to Le Jia's side, "Hey, little Le Jia, can I discuss something with you?"
Le Jia glanced at Fang Yi sensitively before answering Yin Qi, "What's the matter?" Le Jia was excluded from childhood, so he was very sensitive to some people's emotions, but he also knew that Fang Yi had no malicious intentions. .
"How about I exchange the supplies for your two swords?" Yin Qi pointed to the swords on the wall and said.I was still worried about not having a suitable weapon for Qingliu swordsmanship, but I didn't expect to have such a good opportunity now.
Le Jia glanced at Yin Qi in surprise, and a trace of surprise flashed quickly in his eyes.
Although he concealed it very well, Fang Yi, who was silent at the side, caught it.
"Well, yes." Le Jia put away the thoughts in his heart, nodded and replied.
Mr. Xu collected his thoughts, looked at Yin Qi and the others, and nodded, "I'm sorry, I made you laugh, I'll take you to your residence right now, let's go."
Elder Xu walked ahead first, Yin Qi raised an eyebrow at Fang Yi, and walked to Elder Xu, "Old Xu, are you going to take us to that Le Jia's place now?"
