While speaking, the originally quiet village was woken up. Many villagers looked out and saw a few monks. people.
The girl looked at Ji Youxin's eyes sparkling, Ji Youxin pulled his sleeves stiffly, hid behind Zhichunqiu, and then heaved a sigh of relief.
Chunniang was furious: "Why is there no place, just ask the baby's father to go to Lei Zi's house for a squeeze!"
The girl raised her head: "It's late at night, why don't you ask your third father to go out and squeeze out, he still has a sister, how do you live here?"
"I said you kid..."
A few people stood by and couldn't get in the way. It was embarrassing to hear them arguing under the sea breeze. Fortunately, the village chief came out of the next room and stopped the two of them: "What are you arguing about!"
The girl finally became more honest: "Father..."
The village head glared at her, and scrutinized several people: "A few immortal elders want to borrow?"
Xie Chunqiu had been watching the theater all the time, and his colleagues were also observing the village. He only saluted after hearing the words: "We have been away for a long time, and we bothered everyone by passing here. I wonder if it would be convenient for us to stay here for one night?"
The village head nodded: "Follow me."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and went out with the lamp in hand. The girl was anxious: "Father, we can't let them live at home!"
The village chief frowned: "Stop messing around, the elders are honorable, so naturally they have to live in the residence."
As soon as Chunniang saw the village chief come out, she knew it was over, so she hurriedly pulled Duo Ling to please her: "If the girl leaves late tomorrow, you can come to my house for dinner."
The so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling face, Duo Ling nodded softly: "Then thank you sister first."
All the dolls in Chunniang's house ran around, and when she was called sister by this juicy and beautiful girl, she burst into laughter, but she didn't know that she was not as old as Duo Ling, but was the one who was taken advantage of.
A few people followed the village head, and the villagers who secretly opened the windows to look around finally turned off the lights again. Xiaolong tugged on Tie Duoling's sleeve and asked, "Why do you call her sister? Your age next year..."
"Shut up!"
Duo Ling covered his mouth, looked at him warningly, and said via voice transmission: Little friend, did no one tell you that women's age is taboo
Xiaolong was strangled by her, and felt her eyes were terrified, shaking her head in horror, Duo Ling saw that Ji Youxin turned her head back, and took advantage of the situation to straighten the child's hair gently: "Then senior sister will tell you, in the future, I will definitely Just remember."
Ji Youxin didn't understand what they said, so he turned his head and concentrated on walking, Xiao Zai Zai touched his heart with lingering fear, and said obediently: "I see."
Duo Ling just walked forward, and Xiaolong walked at the back, but suddenly noticed something, and turned his head suddenly.
But behind him is only the dark village and the sea breeze. Occasionally, you can see a few houses with the lights still on, but the rest are nothing.
Xiaolong frowned, always feeling that someone was watching them just now.
Probably... a villager
A few people followed the village chief to the workshop, which was a place of cultivation. Compared with the village, it was like two worlds.
Seeing their different expressions, the village head explained: "Although our Gehai Village looks dilapidated, it is actually quite affluent. It's just that the customs are different. There are often storms by the sea, so we never build our residences too well. Everyone is used to it. Yes, but the establishment is for foreigners to live in, and it is far away from the sea, so it is very safe.”
Xie Chunqiu said with a smile: "This house is very interesting, it is rare to see a round house."
This business is like a huge egg, which is indeed strange. The village chief smiled and opened three rooms: "It's all old customs. It's a bit late today. Everyone, take a good rest. If you don't rush to leave, stay longer." It doesn't matter for a few days, my surname is Luo, and I am the village head of Gehai Village, if you have anything to do, you can come to me now."
After the two of them were polite, Village Chief Luo left with the lamp in hand. They divided the room and rested first.
The three rooms are next to each other, Duo Ling naturally occupies one room to himself, Xie Chunqiu is an elder, so naturally he also has a room alone, so Xiao Zai Zai excitedly ran to live with Ji Youxin, but just as he was about to close the door, the previously trapped The feeling of staring rises again.
Seeing Xiaolong standing still at the door, Ji You felt strange, and stepped forward to close the door: "What's wrong?"
Xiaolong shook his head, turned to look at Ji Youxin: "Do you find it strange?"
Ji You pondered: "You mean Gehai Village?"
Xiaolong nodded: "Yeah, some of them seem to reject us, but some of them especially welcome us, obviously it's a village..."
Ji You lowered his eyes: "That's true. It stands to reason that ordinary people welcome monks. When I traveled in the past, although there were people who hated monks, but... well, it's actually not too strange."
Xiaolong thought about it too, so he didn't think any more, packed up and rolled to bed.
Ji Youxin didn't care about living with others, and soon the two of them closed their eyes, and the sea breeze blew all night, like playing music, urging people to sleep.
Early the next morning, Village Chief Luo's daughter ran over happily to deliver food to them.
She washed and dressed up, but she was still not half as beautiful as Duo Ling. She couldn't take a good look last night, but if she looked carefully today, her eyes would fall on Duo Ling.
Duo Ling glanced at her with a smile: "Miss Luo, have you eaten?"
Luo Weiwei was questioned by her, and immediately stopped his back: "I have eaten, these are what Dad asked me to bring to you... Hey, there is another young master?"
When she spoke, Xiaolong yawned and followed the taste. When he saw these delicious food, his eyes brightened immediately, and he looked at Luo Qingqing: "Wow, you brought this to us!"
Luo Weiqing looked at his face clearly, and felt her heart skip a beat. She thought the elder sister in front of her was beautiful enough, but she didn't expect the man in front of her to be even more beautiful, even crossing genders, as if flying from the sky. down fairy.
But he had a pair of horns on his head, and his eyes were agile, so he suddenly reversed the lingering fairy energy, adding a bit of coquettishness.
Luo gently grabbed the skirt tightly, blushing and nodded: "Yes..."
Xiaolong immediately smiled and said thank you, but Xie Chunqiu didn't move much, so he inquired and asked: "Little girl, we are tired of traveling and traveling, and we wanted to stay for a few more days, but yesterday saw that many people in this village seemed to reject us. , I don't know... Is there any inconvenience?"
Luo gently shook his head lightly: "It's okay, it's okay, you just stay here, the people in Gehai Village don't reject monks, it's just that each of our households has their own beliefs, and there are only a few who don't like monks, but as long as It's okay if you don't bother."
Ji Youxin asked in surprise: "Every household has its own belief?"
This is really weird.
If so, how could they live together so harmoniously
Luo Qingqing said: "There's nothing to say about it. After all, it's our own business. We won't impose our own ideas on others, and we will respect other people's ideas. On weekdays... we all live the same way."
Duo Ling also paused. It sounds easy to say, but when people get together, not to mention different beliefs, troubles often happen in general. This Gehai Village...is really strange.
So she asked: "Then you guys are really nice here, but can you take the liberty to ask, how long have you been getting along like this?"
Luo Weiwei's expression changed slightly: "Actually, it's only recently. Everyone is in a hurry to go to the doctor. Dad and I have been looking forward to the monk's arrival for a long time."
Xie Chunqiu asked: "But what happened in the village?"
Luo sighed softly: "It's true that something happened. We Gehai Village have always relied on the sea to eat the sea, but recently, every time we go to sea, there will be troubles. The boat capsized several times. Fortunately, no one was killed, but it's not only that, we On the official road at the entrance of the village, there are always mummified corpses appearing inexplicably, including men, women and children, and they are not lost by our village. It is very scary to see!"
Ji You felt even more strange: "Mummy? Then why don't you report to the officials, or go to the nearby sect for help?"
Luo smiled awkwardly: "This... the official reported it, but we provoked the official because of the tax collection, and now they ignore us, so they just delay later, saying that no one was killed anyway. It's not too late to report to the official when something really happened. The nearby sect sent people, but they were also fooled by the official, saying that we always lied about the report, but the village was quiet during the few days when the monks came, so I really believed it. Go back to the sect after the government said, and leave us alone."
Xiaolong slapped the table angrily: "What's this called, don't care if it doesn't kill someone? Does it matter if something really happens?"
How could this be so!
Duo Ling felt that this matter was not that simple. The water was very deep, so he listened calmly. Seeing that Charle was agitated, Luo Weiwei seemed to look better. He couldn't help but take a few more glances, and persuaded: " Aren't you here?"
She smiled and looked at Xie Chunqiu, who was acting like an elder, and poured a cup of tea to please: "That's why the people in our village are in a hurry, so they enshrine different immortals and gods. Previously, the monks listened to the government and ignored us. People are angry, not disrespectful, don't be angry, Immortal Elder."
Xie Chunqiu didn't touch the cup of tea, and said kindly: "Of course we won't get angry. Since we have encountered this matter, we won't ignore it. You can rest assured."
Luo Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to say something else, but there was a commotion outside. Several people looked at each other, and then went out to have a look, but saw that the beach at the seaside ferry was actually surrounded by a large crowd.
Following Luo gently out of the door, the four realized that it was a man who had just rescued a drowning child. They saw that the child was born exquisitely, and looked seven or eight years old. He didn't look like ordinary people in his clothes, but he didn't know how he fell into it. In the sea, washed up here, lying on the beach, black hair scattered, pale face, looking quite pitiful.
The rescuer took a breath, and Luo asked softly, "Uncle Lei, what's going on?"
Uncle Lei said: "I was just about to go into the sea, and I saw this child inside, and there were some bits and pieces floating nearby. It must have been caught in a storm and the boat was overturned. I am still angry... such a young child , it’s really a blessing to be alive.”
Luo Weiwei's expression changed: "The boat capsized again!"
There was a lot of noise around, someone went to find the village chief, Xiaolong looked at the child on the ground, but felt an indescribable sense of familiarity in his heart, clearly he had never seen this child before, but he couldn't tell why, it was always for no reason feel close.
He felt strange, so he bent down and looked at it carefully, and the next moment, the child slowly opened his eyes.
Xiaolong was caught off guard and was taken aback. The child's slack pupils converged again. When he saw his face, he quickly reached out and grabbed it, and shouted as if frightened: "Brother!"
