It feels amazing.
Time slipped away slowly, and after noon, the young man still did not come back, Wang Banxian gradually showed a smug look on his face, Xingyun was not in a hurry, only occasionally glanced at the butcher's shop not far away, and listened carefully to the selling price of meat. Not going down.
An hour later, the man was still in the future, Wang Banxian smiled and said, "Boy! You should admit defeat, give me the broiler."
"Why give it to you?" Xingyun said indifferently, "Isn't he on his way here?"
Wang Banxian looked at the other side of the road: "Boy talking nonsense! Where did he come from!" As soon as he finished speaking, a father and son appeared at the corner of the road. It was the young man and his young son. As soon as he walked to Xingyun, he immediately bowed and thanked: "Thank you, brother! If you hadn't persuaded me to go back, my child would have been burned to death in the woodshed. Huzi, don't thank this uncle! "
The child bit his finger and said vaguely, "Thank you, uncle." The young man smiled and said, "I have nothing to thank you here. My wife asked me to take the bacon made two years ago from the beam of the house. You Look… "
Shen Li's eyes lit up, Xing Yun's eyes lit up with him, he nodded decisively and accepted: "I'm welcome."
Watching the young man and the child walk away, Xingyun turned his head and looked at Wang Banxian in a relaxed manner: "Ten pennies."
Wang Banxian was stunned, patted his forehead and said, "Hey, it's really evil, it can be counted." He took out ten coins from his bag and put it in Xingyun's palm, and before leaving, he said, "Why don't you? Give me another guess."
Xingyun smiled unpredictably: "Today, you have a bloody disaster."
Wang Banxian was so frightened that she quickly grabbed her banner and hurriedly ran home.
A few days later, Shen Li heard that after Wang Banxian returned home that day, her daughter-in-law slapped her face with a shoehorn for the reason of "not earning a penny". As for why Shen Li heard about such trivial matters, that was because, from that day on, there was a true and half-immortal remark in the capital that had spread all over the streets.
"You really know how to tell fortunes." Shen Li expressed surprise.
"know a little."
Shen Li was silent for a long while: "The way to break through the heavens will be punished by heaven."
"I know, so, I'm not taking medicine every day." Xingyun replied calmly, but seeing Shen Li staring at him, he smiled, "There must be gains and losses, nature is natural, everything is always It's balanced."
How could Shen Li not know this truth, she just suddenly understood that his short life came to be like this, and she was surprised that a mortal person could spy on heaven's secrets and spy so carefully, one could imagine that his body was attacked by backlash. His power must also be great, and he actually competed with the Tao of Heaven and lived to this day.
Xingyun's identity is becoming more and more elusive.
The rumors from the outside world are getting more and more exaggerated, but it doesn't seem to affect Xingyun's life. He still guards the small courtyard, raises fish every day, and basks in the sun.
After being bored for a day, Shen Li looked at Xingyun lying by the pond and asked, "You are so talented, so if you have this ability, why don't you rely on fortune-telling to make a living?" A "half immortal" like him with real ability You can take the high-end route and tell fortunes for high-ranking officials and wealthy people. Even if you count it once a year, it can make his life ten times better than it is now, but Xingyun is too indifferent. Apart from earning back the two pieces of bacon and ten copper coins, he hardly ever used this ability.
"This is not a good skill." Xingyun only said lightly, "It's not good for others, I don't rely on it, I still live well."
Shen Li raised her eyebrows, she didn't expect this mortal person to have such a realization. Since he saw it so thoroughly, Shen Li didn't continue to discuss this issue, but instead asked: "Xingyun, in the food you make every day, um, is there anything to replenish your vitality, let's take it Come and study with me."
Xingyun smiled and turned to look at her: "Do you think I can afford that kind of thing?"
Shen Li was silent, yes... He is a guy who doesn't even know how to buy meat, so why would he be willing to add some tonic to the steamed buns? But she did recover her physical strength much faster than usual in this room. These days, her internal breath has gradually stabilized, and her recovery may be a matter of these few days...
"Tuk Tuk Tuk!" The two of them were chatting in the backyard when they heard a hurried knock on the door. Xingyun responded and slowly swayed to the front yard to open the door.
This is strange. Shen Li has been here for so many days, except for the girl who came in over the courtyard wall, she has never seen anyone else come to find Xingyun. She was curious in her heart, and followed up. When Xingyun opened the door, Shen Li suddenly noticed an inexplicable aura. She looked solemn, but saw a withered hand stretched in from outside the door and tightly grasped Xingyun's arm.
The man seemed to be extremely powerful, and pushed Xingyun back two steps, almost stepping on Shen Li behind his feet.
The door opened, and Shen Li saw that it was an old woman who was holding Xingyun. She described her excitement and looked a little dazed: "Immortal, fairy..." She called out hoarsely, "You are what they said. Counting the past, can you account for the immortals of the future?"
Shen Li looked up at her, only to feel that there was an inexplicable aura surrounding this person, but she didn't have enough mana now, so she couldn't see the reason.
"Well... I'm probably the person you're looking for." Xingyun said, "It's just..."
Xingyun didn't finish his words, and only heard a few shouts from the other side of the alley: "Brother and sister!" Just in time, a middle-aged man walked behind him. He grabbed the woman and said, "Brother and sister! Stop making trouble! Come on! I'll go back!"
The man looked no more than forty years old, but this woman was like a fifty-year-old old woman, with her back hunched and her face full of vicissitudes. It seemed that she was tortured by life. She ignored the man, only looked at Xingyun and said, "Immortal, please help me! Please help me calculate, where is my husband who has been in the army for fifteen years now?"
"Oh brother and sister! Haven't you been deceived enough by those warlocks? Don't ask, it's been so many years..." These words seemed to touch the woman's pain, and she yelled loudly: "No matter how long it takes, you have to ask! Leave! No matter how many years it is, he will be my husband! One day I can't find him, and I'll find another day! There will always be a day when I find him!"
It turned out to be a military woman, Shen Li's head bowed slightly, she knew very well that once a person on the battlefield died, he might not even be able to find his bones. Searching.
Xingyun gently pulled the woman's hand away, smiled and said, "This lady, I can't calculate this, you go back."
The old woman looked stunned: "Aren't you an immortal? Why don't you help me calculate, I just want to know where he is... If you don't help me calculate where he is, then at least tell me his life and death, let me I have an idea!"
Xingyun rushed to the middle-aged man with a smile: "Excuse me." He made a gesture of seeing off guests, "It's time for me to cook."
The middle-aged man was stunned, nodded apologetically, and took the woman away half-pulling, half-persuading, closed the door indifferently, and went into the kitchen to cook as usual. Shen Li walked at his feet: "Did you see what happened? Why didn't you tell that woman? Is her husband dead?"
"No." Xingyun said lightly, "I didn't see anything."
Shen Li was stunned: "But... but..." She talked for a long time and didn't know what to say. Xingyun's practice of not interfering with nature by herself is not wrong. She even appreciated it before, but in this situation Next, she still couldn't help wanting to do a favor. If the soldier she brought before died on the battlefield, she would not let his family wait hopelessly without knowing anything.
Shen Li looked up at Xingyun and walked silently to the backyard. This Xingyun, who could save a child for the sake of two or two meat, could also watch the old woman cry and be indifferent.
He really didn't live a normal life, or rather... shy.
At night, the surroundings were silent and Xingyun did not have the habit of locking the door, so Shen Li was able to sneak out the crack of the door. With a little mana recovered, he searched for the scent of the woman today and went to the end of the alley. "Shuhuhuhuu" ran away.
In the courtyard door that was not closed, there was a faint sigh: "This chicken is too busy."
Shen Li searched for the breath all the way to the door of a small courtyard. Just when she didn't know how to enter the door, the courtyard door suddenly creaked and was pushed open. Shen Li hurriedly hid behind the door and hid in the dark.
A man wearing a night patrol uniform and carrying a lantern walked out the door. He was the middle-aged man who was looking for him during the day: "It's almost my shift time, so I'll go first, look at my younger brother and sister a little, in the middle of the night. Yes, don't let her run out to find some demigods again."
The woman inside responded, "Be careful."
The man answered, turned away, the courtyard door was closed again, Shen Li was so anxious that she didn't know how to get in, the door opened again, and the woman inside chased after her with a cloak: "Darang, your cloak, Ye Leng, Don't catch a cold."
Shen Li glanced, the courtyard door was open, and the two were far apart. She jumped into the courtyard and saw the woman's house at a glance, because the lamp was still on, and she was sitting in the courtyard. Clothes are sewn in front of the window, the silhouette is cast on the paper window, and the loneliness is indescribable. When the door of her room was not closed, Shen Li quietly put her head into the crack of the door, and at a glance, she suddenly understood why she felt an inexplicable aura on this woman today.
Behind the woman, a young man in a tattered light armor was looking at the clothes sewn in her hands. His expression was soft and his eyes were gentle. foot. During the day, he could not see his body, but at night it finally appeared.
Did it actually turn into a spirit body... Shen Li couldn't help sighing. The woman can no longer find her husband, and there is no need to find her husband, because the man has never left her.
Shen Li didn't want her sigh to make the light-armored man turn his head suddenly, a pair of black eyes suddenly turned red when he saw Shen Li, he opened his mouth, and a yin qi overflowed from his mouth, which was not given to Shen Li. Li rushed towards her with a ghastly face in a moment of reaction time. Shen Li's two wings fluttered in a panic: "Stop! Wait..." Before the two rooster croaks could be heard, the spirit body swept past her body, full of yin energy that made her stagger and roll away. After several laps, it didn't stop until it hit a clay pot in the corner.
