Half a day passed.
Ye Xuan got to know the villagers of Little Rock Village one by one. The two of them had their own jobs. Although Zhuoma was young, she was very nimble and helped out at Aunt Wang's house.
The old man, surnamed Zhuo, was rather old. He usually helped out at the blacksmith's or the carpenter's to maintain the daily necessities of the two of them. Although their lives were a little hard, they enjoyed the peace and quiet.
As the days passed, the villagers gradually became familiar with Ye Xuan. Whenever some of the villagers had free time, they would help Ye Xuan build a new house.
In fact, with Ye Xuan's cultivation, he could build a house in the blink of an eye with his spells and abilities. He also had several Celestial Emperor palaces in his Sumeru Space.
However, Ye Xuan could not do this because it would be too shocking. The villagers would definitely treat him as an immortal or a monster. This would go against Ye Xuan's original intention of staying here.
Fortunately, the villagers of Little Rock Village were very friendly. With the help of many villagers, a simple house was built. Although it looked slightly dilapidated, it had no problem blocking out the wind and rain. This also allowed Ye Xuan to finally settle down in Little Rock Village and officially become a part of it.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone down on the village.
The fiery clouds on the horizon were endless, illuminating Little Rock Village with a fiery glow. It gave off a sense of tranquility and peace.
Smoke curled up from the kitchen chimneys. The children who were cooking and playing by the stream all returned home. When they passed by the village entrance, they all warmly greeted Ye Xuan. This made Ye Xuan nod and smile in response.
In front of the village entrance, there was an endless line of haystacks.
Ye Xuan leaned against the haystack and looked around. Just like when he was a child, his heart was filled with peace and tranquility. It was as if all the grudges of the outside world had disappeared from his memories.
In Ye Xuan's memories, the most peaceful time of his childhood was lying on a haystack with his younger siblings, watching the sunset every day, enjoying this rare moment of peace.
More than twenty thousand years had passed, and his younger siblings were no longer around. He was the only one left in this world, and this difference made Ye Xuan's thoughts slightly absent-minded.
"Big Brother Ye, let's go home for dinner."
Suddenly, a child's voice rang out from under the haystack, and it brought Ye Xuan back to reality. Little Zhuoma was calling out to him with a smile under the haystack.
"Okay, let's go home for dinner."
Ye Xuan supported himself on the haystack with both arms and directly jumped down. He then intimately rubbed Little Zhuo Ma's hair bun, held her small hand, and returned to the village, just like how he held Ye Ling'er's hand when he was young.
However, time passed quickly, and the mountains and rivers were destroyed. His friends and family of the past were no longer around. He traveled alone through the ages. Ye Xuan could no longer return to that innocent and naive era.
In the grandfather's home.
Two plates of vegetables and three steamed buns. This was the dinner for the grandfather, grandson, and Ye Xuan.
They did not speak while eating. The grandfather, grandson, and Ye Xuan quietly ate dinner. However, Uncle Zhuo seemed to have something on his mind today. As he ate, he would occasionally glance at Ye Xuan. Every time he opened his mouth, he would not say anything in the end.
"Uncle Zhuo, there's no harm in speaking your mind."
Although Ye Xuan seemed young, he had lived for twenty thousand years. How could he not tell that the old man had something to say? This made him put down his bowl and chopsticks and speak softly.
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Uncle Zhuo smiled awkwardly, but there was nothing to hide.
"Little Ye, you've been in the village for three months now. In these three months, you've occasionally helped everyone with work and even helped me and Elder Sun with the money. However, you're not young anymore. Look, all the young men in the village your age are already married. I think that Li Dazhuang's daughter is not bad. Why don't you …?" Uncle Zhuo wanted to say something, but he stopped. Although he did not finish his sentence, his meaning was clear. He was concerned about Ye Xuan's life.
"That's right, Brother Ye. Elder Sister Li is really not bad. Look, she personally cooks for you every day. She even sews clothes for Brother Ye. Why don't you marry Elder Sister Li? That way, Zhuo Ma will also have a sister-in-law," little Zhuo Ma said mischievously.
Looking at the grandfather and grandson's expectant faces, Ye Xuan was slightly stunned. Then, he slowly shook his head. A trace of helplessness flashed through his eyes.
"Ai!"
Uncle Zhuo let out a long sigh. He knew that Ye Xuan did not agree to the marriage. In fact, the only reason he could speak up today was because Li Dazhuang had secretly asked for his opinion. He wanted to sound out Ye Xuan's thoughts.
After all, in Little Rock Village, there were only a few rural villagers. People with some talent like Ye Xuan were few and far between. Li Dazhuang was extremely fond of Ye Xuan and wanted to marry his daughter to Ye Xuan.
Of course, Elder Sister Li treated Ye Xuan extremely well. Although she was not a lady from a wealthy family, she was still virtuous. Otherwise, why would she cook and sew clothes for Ye Xuan every day? Clearly, she was extremely fond of Ye Xuan.
"Alright, alright. Let's not talk about this for now. Tomorrow is the annual Great Day of Buddha Worship. This is the most important day in our Little Rock Village. The Buddhist emissary will personally come to our Little Rock Village to spread the Light of Buddha. Little Ye, you have just settled down in the village. You must not be negligent when you see the Buddhist emissary."
The old man skimmed over Ye Xuan's marriage and constantly reminded Ye Xuan of the things he needed to pay attention to tomorrow. Dinner only continued when Ye Xuan nodded in agreement.
Great Day of Buddha Worship!
It was a festival in the Aparagodaniya Continent. After all, everyone in the Aparagodaniya Continent was devoted to Buddha. More than eighty percent of the mortals were Buddhist believers. This festival was naturally extremely important. Buddhist emissaries would come to every village to preside over this festival.
Knock — Knock — Knock!
Suddenly, there was a light knock on the door, and a weak female voice came from outside.
"Is Grandpa Zhuo home?"
"Hehe!"
Little Zhuo Ma giggled and rushed to open the door. She even turned around and made a funny face at Ye Xuan. She giggled and said, "Brother Ye, Elder Sister Li is here to see you."
Creak!
The door was pushed open by the little girl. A young girl in patched clothes was standing uneasily outside the door.
The girl's skin was bronze, and her black hair was tied together with a wooden fork. Although she was not a beauty, she gave people a feeling of sunshine. She did not wear any makeup, but there was a kind of simple beauty to her.
"Elder Sister Li, are you here to see Brother Ye?" Little Zhuo Ma giggled and asked.
"No … no … I … I'm here to see Grandpa Zhuo." Li Xiu Er's cheeks blushed. She stole a glance at Ye Xuan, and shyness flashed through her eyes.
"Haha."
Uncle Zhuo laughed and said, "Xiu Er, come in and talk."
"Grandpa Zhuo, these are the sweet potatoes my father asked me to bring you. Try them while they're hot."
As Li Xiu Er spoke, she carried the bamboo basket to the table. She placed a plate of hot sweet potatoes on the table. Then, she was so nervous that she did not know where to put her hands. This also made Uncle Zhuo chuckle and say, "Your father is too polite."
"Brother … Brother Ye … Tomorrow is the Great Day of Buddha Worship … I spent the whole night sewing this shirt. See if it fits."
As Li Xiu Er spoke, she stuffed a brand new linen shirt into Ye Xuan's hands. Then, she did not dare to look at Ye Xuan. She hurriedly turned and walked out of the room, blushing even more.
"Grandpa Zhuo, I'm going home first."
Li Xiu Er had already left, but her slightly shy voice was heard. This also made Uncle Zhuo sigh helplessly. He even stole a glance at Ye Xuan with hope in his eyes.
"Brother Ye, Elder Sister Li has deep feelings for you. Just marry her."
Little Zhuo Ma came in front of Ye Xuan and shook Ye Xuan's arm. A pair of mischievous eyes looked at Ye Xuan expectantly.
