Immortal sword edge

"Wow--"

The sudden cry woke up the sleeping spirit beast, and the snow-white fox jumped up, its chubby body slightly arched, its erect ears quivered slightly, and its cunning and dark eyes gurgled.

"Wow----"

The cries that were close at hand made its scalp numb, and the big fluffy tail suddenly rose into the air.It shrunk its head, turned around and jumped off the bed in an instant, a dazzling white light flashed, and the snow-white fox disappeared, replaced by a fairy-like figure.

Ling Xiao quickly picked up Xiao Jianshen, and checked it up and down skillfully. The wet diaper was taken off, and with a twist of his wrist, a brand new diaper appeared in his hand out of thin air.

After cleaning up the little Sword God, he walked to the corner, kicked the lying white wolf, and put an empty porcelain bowl in front of it.

The white wolf blinked a pair of faint green eyes, and did not dare to complain at all. He automatically stretched his limbs and lay on his back, allowing the other party to squeeze the milky white milk into the bowl.

After spending a lot of effort, the little guy was finally served. The little sword god burped a little after eating and drinking, and looked at him innocently and innocently with his big black eyes. Du's little mouth was babbling, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

Ling Xiao lightly touched the pink and tender little face that had been opened, and his heart was slightly soft. If he was just regarded as a goal task at the beginning, and wanted to play a cultivation game out of responsibility, now But he really wanted to see him as an apprentice, after all, he had taken care of the child for so many days, and gradually he would develop some feelings.Even a fairy is not exempt from vulgarity.

Holding the child in his arms, he walked to the window, stretched out his hand and opened the closed window, and the fresh and cool air rushed in, which refreshed people's spirits.

It was broad daylight, and the sleepy town gradually woke up. Pedestrians began to appear in the empty and quiet streets, and smoke rose into the sky.

Ling Xiao propped his chin, and said thoughtfully: "The folk customs are simple and the scenery is beautiful, shall we settle down here?" He lowered his head, pinched the child's small nose, "If you don't speak, I'll take it as your promise ?”

He was answered by a series of bubbles.

It was almost noon when Ling Xiao went downstairs, and the few tables were full of guests, with a pot of wine and a few side dishes, and gossip and gossip while pushing glasses.

Widow Liu's eyes were sharp, and she immediately caught sight of the figure walking down the stairs. She quickly put down her work and went up to her, shouting: "The guest officer has finally come down. I was still hesitant to go up and call you, but I was afraid It's time for you to rest. It's getting late, and you must be hungry too, come down quickly, and I'll prepare lunch for you." Before he could answer, his fat body quickly went to the kitchen.

Following Widow Liu's shout, everyone in the tavern looked at Ling Xiao who came downstairs, although most of them knew the existence of such a handsome guest with wolves from the proprietress in the morning , but I didn't expect this guest to have such a good temperament.

An old man with a gray beard and hair smoking a cigarette stood up and said, "Young master, there are no empty tables in the room. If you don't mind, let's share a table with this old man."

Ling Xiao saw at a glance that besides the old man, there was only a dark-faced farmer at that table, so he didn't shirk it, and walked there while smiling and said: "Thank you, old man."

The dishes on the wooden table are very simple, a plate of peanuts, a plate of dried radish, and a pot of choking knives.The old man filled the wine glass, handed it to Ling Xiao, and said with a bold smile: "Please, sir!"

Ling Xiao said with a embarrassed expression: "Thank you, old man, for your kindness, but I never drink alcohol." He didn't lie, except that he needed to taste and try the taste when he brewed wine, he never drank alcohol. A person from long ago, a person who is hard to think about.

The old man sighed regretfully: "That's such a pity, wine is a good thing, especially in this winter, when you drink a glass of wine, you have a small heater." After finishing speaking, he raised his head and took a sip of the wine in the glass. And do.

Ling Xiao laughed silently, with a gentle and amiable smile.

The old man is always a talkative person, after drinking a glass of wine, he said again: "It's the time of the new year, why is the young master going out? He has a child with him."

"The prodigal son, the world is his home." Ling Xiao responded casually.

"It turns out that the young master is from the rivers and lakes!" The guests at the next table exclaimed.Ping'an Town is a small closed town, and the people in the town are also simple farmers. The so-called rivers and lakes are all stories in Chinese novels for them. The wonder of the face is magical.

Fortunately, Ling Xiao's face is thick enough. Under so many curious and admiring eyes, he has no sense of being a counterfeit and shoddy product at all, and he is still calm and calm.

"What's so good about people from the rivers and lakes?" Widow Liu came over with a tray, and put a plate of beef, green vegetables, fried shredded pork with green peppers, and a pot of good daughter's red, neatly placed on the table , but said in his mouth: "The people in the rivers and lakes have no fixed place to live, and they fight and kill. Poor such a young child, he will suffer a lot."

Ling Xiao lowered his eyes, with a trace of sadness on his face just right, "I also know that this is not good for the child, so I plan to choose a safe place to settle down."

"That's good!" Widow Liu patted her thigh and said, "The guest officer is indeed a good teacher, and it couldn't be better for the children."

Ling Xiao took the opportunity to say: "I think Ping'an Town is a very good place. Although it is a bit remote, the scenery is beautiful, the folk customs are simple, and the proprietress is even more hospitable."

"Hahaha!" Widow Liu laughed heartily, "The guest officer has a good eye! Our Ping'an Town may not be called a big town, and the people in the town are living in a bit of poverty, but there are absolutely no villains in our town. , if there is anything in the town, the whole family will definitely help. The guest officer can just settle here with peace of mind, and if there is any difficulty, just say hello, and we will definitely help if we can, don’t you think so?”

The customers in the store responded one after another, with very enthusiastic expressions on their faces.

"Thank you, everyone!" Ling Xiao got up and cupped his hands, and then asked: "When I first came here, there are many people who don't know much. If I want to settle here, what preparations do I need to make?"

"No, no, no," Widow Liu said quickly, "Just tell the mayor about it, there's nothing particularly difficult."

Ling Xiao nodded, "So that's the case, I don't know where the mayor lives, so I can go and pay a visit."

Hearing this, the people in the store looked at each other, and then laughed.

Ling Xiao was a little puzzled, and asked, "What's the matter, did you say the wrong thing?"

At this moment, the old man stood up and said with a smile, "This old man's surname is Qiao, and he is the mayor of Ping'an Town."

"It turned out to be Mayor Qiao!" Ling Xiao suddenly clapped his hands and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"My lord, you're welcome." Mayor Qiao hurriedly returned the gift, and then said: "My lord chooses to settle in Ping'an Town, and this old man welcomes you infinitely. Well, there is an open space on the side of the lotus pond in the east of the town, which is perfect for building a house. "

Without waiting for Ling Xiao to thank him, he said to the farmer at the table: "Now that the New Year's Eve is just over, everyone is free. You only need to say hello, and you will be able to cover it for you for a month at most."

Everyone in the hall nodded in agreement.Widow Liu suddenly interrupted and said, "Perhaps there is no need to rebuild the house. Isn't the house of Xu San's family in the town just about to be sold? If the young master buys it, it will not only save time and effort, but also help Mrs. Xu a lot."

Mayor Qiao pondered for a moment, then asked tentatively, "What do you think, Young Master?"

Ling Xiao smiled and said: "I don't care, as long as there is a place to live, everything is up to the mayor's arrangement."

"Okay!" Mayor Qiao patted the table and said, "Master, eat first, and the old man will take you there later."

Ling Xiao is a god, he doesn't need to eat, and there is no possibility of being hungry, but he lives among a group of mortals now, and will continue to live in the next few decades, and it is impossible not to adapt to some things.Fortunately, he has always been more concerned about eating, even after becoming a fairy, otherwise his weight would not be so excessive.

However, the jug of wine was given to Mayor Qiao, which was considered a return of his favor. He felt that he was becoming more and more successful as a mortal.

After finishing his lunch, he whistled, and a huge white wolf flashed towards him like a wind, and went away amidst the panicked expressions of everyone who had been mentally prepared for it.

Xu Sanjia's house is in the westernmost part of the town, a bit remote, and they are three large tile-roofed houses newly built last year.

Ling Xiao was a little puzzled, "It's a newly built house, why do you want to sell it?"

"Oh, the Xu family is pitiful!" Mayor Qiao sighed: "Old lady Xu married in from outside, but unfortunately she was a widow at a young age, and raised her son alone, needless to say, the hardships involved. His son Xu San is a dutiful person, and his hands and feet are diligent. Gradually, life began to get better. Last year, he built a new house and got married. The matchmaker was the one I said! I gave birth to a baby boy in [-], during those days the Xu family was full of happy events, Mrs. Xu was smiling every day, and we folks in the village were also happy for her."

"Unfortunately, the world is unpredictable. What the ancients said is true. Who knew that such a thing would happen? After Xu's wife gave birth to her son, she accidentally blew a cold wind, and her body was not very refreshed. After taking a few doses of medicine Still not getting better, Xu San felt sorry for his daughter-in-law, so he took her to a bigger town to see, who knew that he would never come back after such a trip."

"What happened?" Ling Xiao asked in a deep voice.

Mayor Qiao took a puff of dry smoke and sighed: "Ping'an Town is located in a remote place, and it takes two days to go back and forth from the nearest big city. It's not a big deal at first, but in recent years there have been a group of bandits on this road, who specialize in robbing passing people. Merchants, gradually fewer and fewer merchants came to Ping An Town. People in Ping An Town would go in groups of three or five if they wanted to enter the city. Bad is nothing more than losing some money, people are safe at last. However, at the end of last year, Xu San was anxious about his daughter-in-law's illness, and before he had time to invite someone to accompany him, he took his daughter-in-law on the road alone, and never came back after this trip. The old woman hugged her grandson and waited at the door every day, but what she was waiting for was bad news. Xu San's body was found in the woods next to the official road, and the Xu family's wife was even more disheveled. She wanted to cut off her tongue and kill herself. Yes, I think those gangsters who killed thousands of knives robbed money, and even coveted the Xu family's wife's appearance, so they committed such a heinous crime."

Ling Xiao nodded cooperatively, and said: "It's an unforgivable crime! Is there no one to care about?"

Mayor Qiao spread his hands, and said helplessly: "What should I do? Ping'an Town is just a small town, which old man would pay attention to it? After the incident with Xu's family happened, the old man went to the county on purpose, and he didn't have any money. Send less, but so far there has been no news. In today's world, the officials will not care about the life and death of our boss, let it be fate, only the old lady Xu suffered. After the news came, the tears did not stop. I heard the doctor said Well, her eyes are completely broken, and she can only see some light vaguely. Such a half-blind woman brings a child who is only a few months old, and she doesn't know how to live in the future. ,well!"

"It's tragic!" Ling Xiao nodded in agreement, but there was no ripple in his heart. He is a god, compassionate and indifferent. Even if he heard about things tens of thousands of times more tragic than this, he would only sigh sadly, but his mood was not the same. Will waver.

Along the way, the snow-white giant wolf received a [-]% return rate. Countless people pointed at it and talked about it.Fortunately, Widow Liu's big mouth paved the way, otherwise such a big beast would definitely cause great panic.

The low wall made of soil cuts off the outside view, and when you look up, you can see a corner of the black eaves, and the smoke rises slowly.

Mayor Qiao knocked hard on the wooden door and shouted loudly, "Is anyone there? Is Mrs. Xu there?"

"Come on!" There was a reply from inside, and then a voice leaning on crutches slowly moved towards the door.

"Squeak!" The wooden door was opened, and the person who opened the door was an old woman with silver-white hair, wrinkled face, and deeply bent back. She leaned on a cane, leaned closer and looked at the visitor carefully. After a while, she suddenly said: " It turned out to be the mayor, hurry up, please come in." He said and led the two into the yard.

The small yard is not very big, most of the place is the same as most of the people in the town, with a vegetable garden surrounded by fences. When the weather is warm, a few fruits and vegetables can be planted, and they can barely support themselves.

An osmanthus tree was planted on the other side of the yard. It was the cold winter, and the branches were bare, with some remaining crystal snow, sticking out the wall with its teeth and claws.There are a few wooden tables and chairs under the osmanthus tree. It can be imagined that in the season when the osmanthus is fragrant, the fragrance is overflowing. How warm it is for a happy family to sit and chat quietly in the evening!It's a pity that such a situation may be difficult to come by.

The brick tile house is indeed newly built, spacious and bright. There are three rooms inside and outside. The two shorter rooms next to it seem to be old houses that have not been demolished. One room is full of smoke and used as a kitchen. A door was locked, and from the worn window paper, it seemed to be full of sundries.

As soon as Mayor Qiao entered the house, he didn't talk nonsense, and said bluntly: "This time I came here for the matter you entrusted me to do years ago. I also know the situation of your family. Easy. No, bring someone here as soon as there is news."

"Thank you mayor." Mrs. Xu wiped her face, squinted her eyes towards Ling Xiao, and said, "Is this the one who wants to buy a house?"

"This son is a foreigner and wants to settle down in our town." Mayor Qiao briefly introduced Ling Xiao's situation, and finally said: "He also has a child with him, and he is about the same age as your child."

Hearing him talk about his grandson, Mrs. Xu smiled slightly, and then said in Ling Xiao's direction: "Young master, can I discuss something with you?"

"Mother-in-law, please tell me." Ling Xiao's voice was gentle.

"It's like this. Although the old lady is in a hurry to sell the house, the two old houses on the east side are not for sale. I know that it is not good for two families to live in the same yard, and it is not convenient for you, but my grandparents and grandchildren There is really no other place to stay, and I would like to ask the young master for convenience, the old lady will be very grateful." Mrs. Xu said earnestly.

Hearing this, Ling Xiao frowned in thought. Although Mayor Qiao sympathized with the Xu family, he also knew that such an approach was unreasonable, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

After a while, Ling Xiao said: "Well, mother-in-law doesn't have to move to the old house, no matter where she lived before or where she still lives now, I won't lose a single bit of money to buy the house."

"This, how to do this." Mrs. Xu said hastily.

Mayor Qiao on the side also said: "Isn't this a disadvantage for you, no, no, absolutely no!"

Ling Xiao said: "Listen to me first, this house is not for nothing, I can't stay at home all the time and don't go out, sometimes I have to go out to make a living, it's impossible to keep the child with me all the time, right? At that time, I will ask my mother-in-law to take care of me more."

Mrs. Xu nodded repeatedly, "This is what it should be, even if you don't live in a big house, the old lady will help you take good care of your children."

Ling Xiao smiled, and then said: "I'm a big man, and I'm really not good at some household chores. In this regard, I have to ask my mother-in-law. I will also give you some money every month. How about you?"

"This, this..." Mrs. Xu was tongue-tied, she really didn't expect such a good thing, she waved her hands again and again, and said: "You, you can give my grandparents and grandchildren a place to stay. Don't worry, my lord, although the old lady is old and her eyesight is not very good, but some housework is not difficult for me, and I will definitely take care of it properly for you."

"I believe in my mother-in-law, but I still need money. Even if my mother-in-law doesn't think about herself, she should also think about her grandson."

Hearing this, Mrs. Xu looked hesitant and hesitated slightly.

But Mayor Qiao said: "I don't think you should delay, the young master is kind, so you can agree to come down."

With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Xu thanked her repeatedly.

Ling Xiao didn't care much about where he lived, and the room used to be the new house of Xu San and his wife. All the furniture and supplies were complete, not much different from the new ones, so he didn't change anything, and moved in that afternoon. up.

In the middle of the bed, a fat white-haired fox curled up with a small baby, sleeping soundly.
