He kowtowed repeatedly.
The old village chief stood up tremblingly and said: "Our village is located in the mountains, which is the location chosen by our ancestors. However, just a few hundred years ago, we heard from our ancestors that the nearest river to the village was less than a mile away. It was very convenient for washing, washing rice, and getting water. But later, the river changed its course, and it became more and more troublesome for us to get water. There is no well water in the village, and we have to go to a creek five miles away to get water. It is really... Immortal, can you help the folks..."
I couldn't help but laugh: "No need to bother, you can talk to him yourself."
He kowtowed repeatedly: "I was ignorant for a moment, please forgive me!"
I was invited to the table, and I did my duty without giving too much courtesy to the villagers, otherwise it would be too hypocritical.
"okay."
An old lady with almost no teeth smiled.
In addition, some people brought fruits, some brought freshly cooked corn, and others brought smoked bacon, etc. The small yard of the old Orion's house was crowded with people.
Trying the dishes again, this banquet of hundreds of families is indeed extraordinary, full of human fireworks.
"Brother Lu Li!"
The old hunter refused everything. He knew that this was the simplest gratitude from the villagers. Once he refused, it would chill people's hearts. As for me, I don't really remember this aunt. I just nodded and smiled from a distance, and then continued to listen to the elk. The children review the lessons taught by the teacher.
"good."
The aunt was stunned for a moment, then her face was full of joy: "You are really Lu Li's benefactor, great, great, great, I'm going to call everyone, don't let Lu Li leave, I'm going to call everyone."
The family went to make a fire and cook.
"Okay, let's get to work."
I smiled slightly: "Well, he is half an immortal."
The grocery store owner immediately rolled up his sleeves and picked vegetables for the old Orion.
I nodded and smiled, but in fact I had forgotten all about it.
"ah?"
"Will do."
"okay!"
Behind him, the sound of clearing the lamp came. He looked extremely gloomy, holding a sword, sitting on the steps in front of the great church, and said: "Has your important task been completed?"
"knew."
"Subordinate... I don't dare..."
I smiled, I was scared out of my wits, and of course I really wouldn’t dare to do it again in the future.
I squinted my eyes and looked into the distance, and a whole big map appeared in front of me. Not long after, a guy covered in scales climbed ashore from the river ten miles away. He was confused and lost. After looking around, he headed in my direction. Holding a fist: "Subordinate... Mr. Qingye Hehe has seen the Immortal. I don't know what the Immortal can do... What advice can you give me?"
The old hunter laughed and said, "If this bag of rice is all cooked, will your wife be heartbroken?"
The old hunter smiled and nodded: "The pot is in the house, but the firewood hasn't been chopped yet."
I took a brief sip. Different from the mellow aroma of Xiyue Shanjun wine, the wine brewed by farmers has a bit more spicy taste, which can be regarded as a unique flavor.
So, after having a banquet and doing two things for the villagers, any other requests after that would not be allowed. After bidding farewell to the old hunter and Elk, he left in one step, and in the next moment he was gone. Being in Fanshu City, at this moment, it is eight o'clock in real time, which is the prime time for players to go online and hunt for treasures. However, at this time, even the capital city of Fanshu City seems empty and deserted.
"Um!"
"What a great brother Lu Li!"
"It's okay, it's okay. The wood in my house only has a handful of strength left. Leave these little things to him."
I leaned against the wall of the cathedral quietly, with a sore nose: "There is still a chance, but I have to think more..."
"Brother Lu Li is really an immortal..."
In the wilderness, the sun was setting, smoke was curling up from cooking stoves, and people were sitting in a yard. Some families even moved tables and stools directly, crowding the old hunter's small yard. As for the few big pots, they almost never stopped. The hunter took out the hunters he had just shot, including deer, rabbits, wild boar, etc. A large pot of hot wild boar was being cooked. In addition, there was a middle-aged hunter carrying a large fish nearly half a meter long. He sent it over and cooked it himself, giving this huge harvest to this meal without hesitation.
As I said that, I gently raised my hand, and a wisp of luck flowed from my fingertips into the farmer's eyebrows. With the connection of blood, a person appeared in the direction of Julu County, so I flicked my fingers, and under the influence of artistic conception, A scene of reading at night by candlelight appeared above everyone's heads. A young man wearing a Confucian shirt was holding a book in his hand and reading very seriously, with a look of immersion on his face.
"You good-for-nothing."
…
"Thank you, Aunt Liu."
A peasant woman laughed stupidly and said: "I heard that you are an immortal. Is it true? I have never seen an immortal..."
The old hunter walked out of the house, his eyes full of joy, and he called enthusiastically: "Come on, come on, I happened to hunt a roe deer yesterday, so I will cook a pot right away. We must have a good drink today. Last time, you saved our entire village and left without leaving a word, and we didn't even have a chance to thank you!"
Then another aunt appeared with a bamboo basket on her back and said with a smile on her face: "Brother Lu Li is finally back. These are the pods I just harvested at home. They are fresh and tender. The stew is the most delicious. Uncle Zhang , come on, come on, don’t be polite.”
On the table in front of me were the best venison, fish, rabbit, etc., exuding a refreshing fragrance. Two jars of old wine were opened, and the old hunter poured a full bowl for me with a kind face. With a smile, he said: "Come on, have a taste."
Qing Deng burst into tears: "Can we still go back? I miss my second and third sisters so much..."
"Brother Lu Li!"
"how's it going?"
Soon after, the old hunter set up a pot in the yard and began to cook roe deer meat. He chose good meat, such as leg meat, heart slices, etc. As for some not so good meat, they were all useless. Milu'er held me aside and talked about what a wandering teacher in the village taught him, which was to learn the Thousand-Character Classic in elementary school. The little girl learned it methodically, while I kept nodding and smiling at the side.
"I don't dare... I don't dare anymore..."
In front of the door, people began to visit. An old hunter uncle appeared with a hare in his hand. He looked grateful, but did not dare to come forward. He nodded at me from a distance, and then secretly rubbed his head. He told the old hunter: "Old man Zhang, this is the rabbit I just shot. It's still warm. Give me a knife and a basin of water. I'll pack it up and stew it for Brother Lu Li to drink. If not, My brother took action out of righteousness, but our entire village is probably a graveyard now, so we must repay the kindness we received!"
"finished."
"It's not a big problem."
I came to sit next to him and pointed to the open space in front of me, with tears in my eyes: "It turns out... A Fei and Nanmu should have set up a stall here, if they are still there... "
I was still sitting next to Elk, smiling and watching the fireworks in this world, and my heart became more and more peaceful.
As he said that, the old hunter shouted to the aunt who was walking by not far away holding a bunch of garlic: "Auntie Zhang family, look who this is? Brother Lu Li is back?"
…
"He's really my boy..."
The old Orion raised his head and said with a smile: "Old Dingtou, just put it down and don't leave. I'll have a drink with Brother Lu Li later and help out by the way."
The woman who looked like a peasant woman stepped forward and kicked her husband on the butt. She held a few wild lettuces in her hand and said with a smile, "If Brother Lu Li hadn't taken action that day, most of our village would have been eaten by that painted ghost." Our whole family is gone, and we still can’t bear to part with this small bag of fine rice? Come on, come on, Uncle Zhang, your cooking pot is at home, right? I’ll cook it for you?”
A few minutes later, a middle-aged man who looked like a farmer walked into the yard with his wife and two children. He was a little shy, holding a bag in his arms, which was bulging, and he was secretly rubbing it. He walked to the big pot and said, "Old man Zhang, my family hasn't had much harvest recently. We only have this bag of fine rice. How about... you make a pot of rice for Brother Lu Li?"
A few minutes later, a middle-aged man wearing a long shirt arrived. Compared with the entire Orion village, which was all in short blouses, he looked a little more formal. He held two jars of wine in his arms and said with a smile: "I am a salesman from the west end of the village. The grocery store owner’s surname is Ding. I am the second eldest child in the family, so everyone in the village calls me Ding Laoer. Brother Lu Li, I was there when you fought against those evil spirits from the strange demon army. Do you still remember me?”
The farmer scratched his head in an honest manner: "How about boiling half the bag?"
…
"Ah, this?"
I smiled slightly. We were having a banquet with hundreds of families, but my mind and voice were blooming ten miles away: "People don't dare to call themselves kings of rivers with a length of hundreds of miles. How dare you call yourself king of a small river in the mountains and fields that is only seventy or eighty miles long?" Let me ask you, hundreds of years ago, did you mean that the river changed its course and did not pass through the village because... the villagers offered too little incense? "
A farmer scratched his head and said, "Brother Lu Li, my boy left the mountains to study in the county three years ago, and there has been no news about it until now. I am an immortal, can you help me give my boy a message?" Words?"
The farmer and his wife hugged each other and cried.
I raised my hand gently, and suddenly a ray of golden sword light fell from the sky. With a "chi" sound, it cut off the Qingshui River and diverted it directly to the outside of the small village, only a few hundred meters away. He said: "There is no one to seal the wilderness in the wild mountains. Since you are successful in cultivating Taoism and have become the river god of the Qingye River, you should do your best to benefit the people here. If you do it again, I will make you disappear into ashes!"
The sun completely disappeared, and when night fell, torches were erected around the small courtyard, illuminating the surrounding area.
The old hunter smiled and nodded: "Then... stew it first, and then fry a rabbit with chili pepper? Don't leave, just help fan the fire here. I can't do it alone."
"ah?"
"okay!"
He hurriedly smiled and said: "Our village is located in a wilderness and is almost isolated from the outside world. Freight caravans only come and go once every three months, so there is nothing in my small shop except these two jars of wine brewed from apricot flowers. , and I hope you don’t dislike it..."
"Remember to remember."
"It's okay, Lu Li is having dinner at my house tonight!"
