At the entrance of the village!
"Jie 'er, come back quickly!"
The woman looked at the vast mountains in the night and muttered to herself helplessly.
Thud!!!
Suddenly.
The sound of steady footsteps could be heard.
The woman hurriedly looked over and saw two men and a woman walking out of the darkness.
The woman was holding a young man in her arms.
It was Qin Feiyang and the other two.
At this moment.
They restrained their cultivation and aura and looked like ordinary people.
"Jie 'er!"
Seeing the young man, the woman trembled and immediately ran over.
But seeing that the young man did not respond, her expression changed and she looked up at Lu Hong and asked, "Miss, what's wrong with my son?"
She thought that something had happened to the young man and was so anxious that she burst into tears.
"Don't worry, he's just tired and fell asleep."
Lu Hong smiled and comforted her.
"Fell asleep?"
The woman was stunned and then sighed in relief. Then, she looked at the three of them and asked suspiciously, "May I know who you are?"
"We're passersby."
"Not long ago, your son encountered a poisonous python and we happened to pass by, so we saved him and sent him back."
Lu Hong smiled and said.
"So you're Jie 'er's saviors."
"Thank you."
The woman immediately knelt on the ground and said gratefully.
"You can't do that, get up quickly."
Seeing that, Lu Hong hurriedly said, then looked at Lu Zheng and said angrily, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and help Auntie up! "
"Okay, okay."
Lu Zheng nodded and walked to the woman and said with a smile, "It's just a small matter, don't mention it."
"To you, it's a small matter, but to me, it's a huge favor!"
"Now, I only have Jie 'er left, if even he is gone, I don't know how to live."
"This old woman is unable to repay your great kindness. I would like to invite the three of you to have a seat at my home."
The woman got up and said with a sincere face.
Qin Feiyang and the other two looked at each other and smiled. This was exactly what they wanted.
Lu Hong smiled and said, "Then we'll be disturbing you."
"No, no."
The woman waved her hand repeatedly and looked at Lu Hong with a smile. "Miss, thank you for your hard work. Give Jie 'er to me!"
Lu Hong said, "It's okay. You're a little weak. I'll carry you inside."
"You're Jie 'er's savior, how can I let you do this kind of manual labor?"
The woman was a little scared.
Lu Hong smiled and said, "It's really fine. Let's go in!"
"This …"
"Alright, thank you, Miss."
The woman said gratefully. Then, she turned around and led Qin Feiyang and the other two into the village. They walked down a small path on the left.
"Miss, how do you know that my body is weak? Are you a doctor? "
As the woman walked, she turned back to look at Lu Hong and asked.
Lu Hong smiled and said, "I'm not a doctor. Jie 'er told me that."
"This child …"
The woman shook her head and smiled.
Lu Hong said, "Your son is very sensible."
A trace of pride appeared on the woman's face. She said, "Although our family's conditions are not as good as the others in the village, when it comes to being sensible, no child can compare to Jie 'er. By the way, what are your names?"
"My name is Lu …"
Lu Hong was about to say her name when Qin Feiyang suddenly coughed and interrupted her.
Lu Hong looked at him suspiciously.
Qin Feiyang said telepathically, "Although this is a little remote, it's still in the capital. It's better to be careful."
Lu Hong nodded and looked at the woman. "My name is Lu Xiaoqin. These two are Jiang Fei and Jiang Zheng."
"Jiang Fei, Jiang Zheng?"
The woman was stunned. Looking at Qin Feiyang and Lu Zheng, she asked, "Are you brothers?"
"Ahem!"
Qin Feiyang coughed and nodded. "Kind of."
Lu Zheng said discontentedly, "What do you mean kind of? We are brothers."
"Shut up and don't talk."
Qin Feiyang glared at him.
"Why? My mouth is on my face. I can say whatever I want. Why do you care? "
Lu Zheng rolled his eyes at Qin Feiyang.
"If you talk nonsense again, don't follow me."
Qin Feiyang said with a dark face.
"Don't be mistaken. I'm not following you. I'm following Hong 'er. I only have eyes for her, understand? So don't flatter yourself. "
Lu Zheng smiled disdainfully.
"I'm flattering myself?"
Qin Feiyang pointed at his nose and looked at Lu Zheng angrily.
"Nonsense. If you're not flattering yourself, am I?"
"Also, the eldest brother is the father, and the eldest sister-in-law is the mother."
"Although I'm not the boss at home, I'm still your brother. Show me some respect."
"In addition, be more polite to your sister-in-law Hong 'er in the future."
Lu Zheng said.
"Sister-in-law Hong 'er?"
Lu Hong froze.
Immediately after, her face was filled with anger. This bastard, the more he spoke, the more ridiculous he became.
Qin Feiyang was also gnashing his teeth.
"Why are you gnashing your teeth?"
"Let me tell you, don't think about bullying your brother. Be careful of being struck by lightning."
Lu Zheng snorted coldly.
"I'll endure it!"
Qin Feiyang took a deep breath and tried to control his mind that was about to explode.
The woman looked at Qin Feiyang and Lu Zheng and said with a smile, "You two brothers are really interesting."
"Really?"
Lu Zheng asked.
"There's a popular saying in our village. Fighting is love, and scolding is love. The more you do this, the more it shows that you care about each other.
"Jie 'er and Jin' er used to be the same. When they were together, they often bickered. When they were not together, they often missed each other."
The woman sighed, looking a little disappointed.
"Really?"
Lu Zheng was stunned. He glanced at Qin Feiyang and said playfully, "I didn't know that you cared about me so much."
"I …"
Qin Feiyang's mood was simply about to go crazy.
"Stop it, okay?"
Lu Hong glared at Lu Zheng angrily. Didn't he see that the woman was about to cry?
Lu Zheng smiled embarrassedly and shut his mouth.
Lu Hong turned to look at the woman and said with a smile, "Heaven helps the worthy. Your daughter will be fine."
"Thank you."
The woman smiled gratefully and pointed to the front. "That's my home."
The three of them raised their heads and looked over. Immediately, their hearts felt as if a bottle of mixed feelings had been knocked over. It was extremely uncomfortable.
The home the woman pointed to was just a shabby wooden house.
Soon.
The three of them followed the woman and came to the front of the wooden house.
A damp, rotten smell immediately came to their faces.
The wooden house only covered an area of dozens of meters and was surrounded by a simple fence. A lot of firewood was piled up in a corner.
The woman apologized, "I've been waiting for Jie 'er at the entrance of the village these days. I didn't take care of the yard. It's a little messy. Please don't mind."
"It's okay."
Lu Hong said with a smile.
The woman smiled, walked to the door, and pushed it open.
The moment the door was pushed open, the three of them really saw what it meant to have four bare walls.
There was nothing in the hall of the house except a table and four stools. Even the table and stools were very shabby.
But there were many paintings on the old walls.
There were landscape paintings, figure paintings, bird paintings, and beast paintings. They were very lifelike and full of charm.
And there were four rooms inside.
Three bedrooms and a kitchen.
There was only one bed in each bedroom. The kitchen was not big, just enough for one person to go in and out.
However.
Although the house was relatively simple, it was very neat and clean.
Lu Hong asked, "Which room is Jie 'er's?"
"Here."
The woman lit the candle and led Lu Hong into one of the bedrooms.
Qin Feiyang and Lu Zheng stood in the hall, looking at the paintings on the wall.
There were more than a dozen paintings on the wall of the hall, but Qin Feiyang noticed that the painting in the center was not a family picture, but an old man riding a crane.
The old man was dressed in a snow-white robe, riding a white crane in the sky, holding a horsetail whisk in his hand, and his white hair was fluttering. He had quite a sage-like charm.
Lu Hong walked to Qin Feiyang, looked at the old man riding a crane in the painting, and whispered, "He is the Immortal Crane that Jie 'er mentioned."
"What is his background?"
Qin Feiyang asked secretly.
"I asked Jie 'er."
"He told me that this Immortal Crane came and went without a trace. No one in the village knew where he lived, and no one knew his name. They only knew that he came from a mysterious immortal sect."
Lu Hong said.
"Immortal sect?"
Lu Zheng was stunned and said angrily, "How can there be immortals in this world? It's obvious that he is a swindler. "
Qin Feiyang also felt the same. He looked at Lu Hong and asked, "What does he do in this village every two years?"
Lu Hong said, "It is said that he is recruiting disciples."
Qin Feiyang and Lu Zheng looked at each other.
Immortal sect?
Recruiting disciples?
Wasn't this a little too exaggerated?
Lu Hong said, "Jie 'er said that any child who is chosen by Immortal Crane will be taken away immediately, and the people in the village are eager to be taken away by him, because once they are chosen by Immortal Crane, they have the qualifications to become immortals."
"Nonsense!"
"I can't stand this kind of swindler who pretends to be mysterious. I must find out about this so-called immortal sect and expose their true colors."
Lu Zheng snorted coldly.
Immortals were just legends. They did not exist at all.
This Immortal Crane was clearly bewitching the villagers here.
Qin Feiyang glanced at him, then raised his head again and looked at the portrait of Immortal Crane.
This village was isolated from the world, and the people in the village still maintained primitive thinking. It was reasonable to believe that there were immortals in this world.
Just like when he was a child, he also believed that there were immortals in this world.
But when he went out and began to understand this world a little bit, he realized that these so-called immortals were just some people who were more powerful than ordinary people.
Immortals did not exist in this world at all.
At this time.
The woman came out, holding a pot of tea, and said with a smile, "Three benefactors, the house is a little simple and crude. Please don't mind and sit down."
"It's okay."
Lu Hong waved her hand and said with a smile.
The woman put the teapot on the table, turned to look at the portrait of Immortal Crane, and said, "I heard you were talking about Immortal Crane just now?"
Lu Hong nodded.
The woman's face became serious, and she said, "You can talk about it at home. Don't talk nonsense outside."
"Why?"
Lu Hong was puzzled.
The woman said, "Because the people in the village all respect Immortal Crane very much. If they hear you talking about him, they will make trouble for you."
Her words were full of respect for Immortal Crane.
Qin Feiyang and the other two looked at each other.
It seemed that the people in this village had been completely educated by Immortal Crane. They believed that there were immortals in this world.
Lu Hong asked, "Do you know about this Immortal Crane?"
The woman said in awe, "He is an immortal, and I am just an ordinary woman. What qualifications do I have to know about him?"
Lu Hong said, "In these years, besides this Immortal Crane, are there any other immortals who came to this village?"
The woman shook her head and said, "Let's not talk about it. You probably haven't had dinner yet. I will prepare some food. You can talk."
"Thank you."
Lu Hong said with a smile.
"It's my pleasure."
