In fact, when the Liu family didn't send anyone over the day before yesterday, people in the village confirmed the news.
In the five months before this, the Liu family would send someone to see Mr. Xu every month.
At that time, old man Xu's situation was not so bad.
People in the whole village came to see old man Xu from time to time, helping him clean up the house and cook, keeping it in order.
When the Liu family didn't come the day before yesterday, people in the village knew that Ye Shaohua definitely hadn't become a fairy teacher.
Those who volunteered to help old man Xu also disappeared.
Auntie is the next door to old man Xu, and used to be favored by old man Xu's family. Her son Daniu was bitten by a snake and almost died. Fortunately, old man Xu cured him with herbs.
So when he knew that Ye Shaohua was not a fairy teacher, he took care of old man Xu diligently.
"Old man Xu, I'm not patient enough." The village head saw that the old man hadn't spoken yet, and his smile turned cold. "If you don't hand it over, I'll do it right away. It's not good to tear your face."
Old man Xu came to Xiaotong Village twenty years ago.
After saving enough copper coins, he settled down in this village, and then rescued Ye Shaohua from the wolf.
Since then, he has opened a medicine field, which is not big, but it is no problem to keep him and Ye Shaohua fed and clothed.
He sold all the medicines in the medicine fields to pharmacies in the deserted city at low prices.
The income is not high.
But this medicine field is very rare in the village. When old man Xu was still healthy, no one dared to think about the medicine field. Later, Ye Shaohua was taken away by the Liu family, and even those who were interested in the village dared not speak out.
But a few days ago, they asked someone to go to the imperial city to inquire about the news.
In the election of Xuanzong sect every five years, five people were selected in the imperial city this time, but Ye Shaohua's name was not among these five people.
When the Liu family didn't send anyone to see old man Xu, the village chief finally confirmed it.
So I brought people to find old man Xu to ask for his title deed.
"Old Xu, just promise the village chief!" Seeing that the village chief is about to get serious, the aunt gritted her teeth and said anxiously, "If something happens to you, Shaohua will be so sad to see it when he comes back!"
Mr. Xu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but after hearing what the aunt said, he finally didn't speak.
After a while, he tremblingly stretched out his finger under the bed.
The aunt took a deep breath, helped him take out a wooden box from under the bed, asked where the key was, opened the wooden box, took out a piece of paper inside and handed it to the village head.
"You are wise." After seeing that the land deed was correct, the village chief turned around and wanted to leave.
"Old Xu! Old Xu! Mother!" At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded outside.
The sound made the aunt and the village chief jump in their hearts, and she hurried out to have a look.
The village head was also a little puzzled. He folded the paper and went out with the aunt.
"Daniu, what's the matter with you?" Seeing Daniu running over with sweat profusely, the aunt wanted to reach out to wipe her sweat.
Daniel didn't hide, but said excitedly: "Sister Ye is back! It was the spirit beast car that brought her back. We saw the characters of the White Mansion on her car, which belonged to the White Mansion. The people of the White Mansion took Ye Sister sent it back!"
The village chief didn't care when he heard the previous sentence.
Hearing the latter sentence, the whole person was shocked.
Before he had time to think about anything, the spirit beast car from Baifu arrived.
The snow-white Tier 1 flame horse was pulling the cart in front, and the whole cart was extremely luxurious.
The people in Xiaotong Village had never seen such a carriage in their life, and they all looked at this luxurious carriage with their mouths wide open.
"Ma'am," Ye Shaohua jumped out of the carriage, "where's grandpa?"
The aunt stammered, "It's...inside."
Ye Shaohua nodded, and went in directly. Master Murong also went in with her.
But Butler Bai didn't go in, but just looked at the people from Xiaotong Village who surrounded him, and said with a smile: "Miss Ye is a distinguished guest of our Bai Mansion. Our master said that from today on, people from your Xiaotong Village can freely enter and leave the imperial city. There is no need to pay taxes in the future, and we will repair the main road from Xiaotong Village to the Imperial City in a short time."
The astonished faces of the people in Xiaotong Village turned into excitement, "Thank you, my lord!"
"No, this is also for the convenience of Ms. Ye," Butler Bai waved his hand, "In the future, our master and young master will come to live here from time to time, so we will disturb you."
The village chief was terrified. He had never spoken to such a person in his life, and his voice trembled.
Butler Bai didn't say much to them, he brought someone to deliver the gift to Ye Shaohua, and even found someone to help Ye Shaohua repair the house.
It took a long time after the Bai family left before the village chief took a breather.
"The village chief... those people were so scary just now, and there are spirit beasts..." The young man who was following the village chief turned pale.
There was cold sweat on the village chief's forehead, and his hand holding the title deed was soaked in sweat: "I... I just brought old man Xu's title deed?"
The others were taken aback when they heard the village chief say that.
Then subconsciously separated some distance from the village head.
After Ye Shaohua returned to the village, she didn't do much. The Bai family wanted to help her build a luxurious house, but she refused.
There was no other way, Master Bai could only ask someone to help her renovate the room and add several guest rooms.
It's still shabby, but it's better than before.
Bai Ziyun packed his bags and came here seven days later, occupying a room.
And Da Furen also has to live here for several days a month, bringing a few servants to help these people improve their food, and she also wanted to leave a few maids to help them take care of them, but Ye Shaohua refused.
Ye Shaohua built a fence around the house and planted a lot of herbs in the yard.
Then he devoted himself to learning alchemy from Master Murong.
Three years later.
**
Not far from Xiaotong Village.
A man in red and a man in white are avoiding the pursuit of a ferocious beast in embarrassment.
"Senior Brother Mu, let's jump down!" The man in white looked at the cliff and pursed his lips.
A year ago, a terrifying alchemist appeared near the imperial city. It was said that he had reached the Xuan rank, and he was still a young girl. The alchemy world was shocked, but almost no one knew the identity of this girl.
But yesterday, there was a strong fluctuation here, which is the fluctuation that only occurs when refining high-grade or even earth-level elixir.
Brother Mu followed the man in white and happened to be here, so he received the task of finding this mysterious girl!
