"Little Brother Ye, this is my house!" Under the guidance of Ninth Uncle, Ye Xuan and him came to a courtyard in the village. He opened the door and led Ye Xuan into a wing-room. He opened the door and said, "This is the guest room of my house. Please don't mind the shabbiness of my house!"
"Ninth Uncle, you are too polite. Thank you for your hospitality!" Ye Xuan smiled and cupped his fists.
"You are welcome. Take a rest first. It is getting late. I will ask Qiang to call you tomorrow morning." Ninth Uncle looked at the sky. It was almost the hour of the ox, so he said to Ye Xuan.
"Thank you very much, Ninth Uncle!" Ye Xuan thanked him.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Ye Xuan, Ninth Uncle watched Ye Xuan turn around and enter the house. Then he turned around and left for the public house in the village. Ye Xuan could go and rest, but he couldn't. After all, in the battle against the horse bandits tonight, although they had won, there were still many villagers who were injured. He still needed to go and treat the villagers.
Ye Xuan entered the wing-room that Ninth Uncle prepared for him. He bolted the door and lit the candle. Then he looked at the furnishings in the room.
The furniture in the room was very ordinary. It was the wooden furniture of ordinary people in this era. These furniture were arranged neatly, including bedding and pillows. But with Ye Xuan's eyesight, he still saw some dust on the furniture. Obviously, this guest room was specially used by Ninth Uncle to entertain guests, and it had been vacant for a long time.
Although the battle with the Horse Gang seemed to be very fierce, Ye Xuan was not very tired. After all, the Horse Gang was a little strange in front of ordinary people, but for him, they were not strong enough. If there were not many villagers of Fugui Village watching at that time, they might also say that he used evil methods. With Ye Xuan's current ability, he could even take those Horse Gang in front of him one by one and kill them with one hand. Of course, doing this would consume a lot of his spiritual force, which he was not willing to do.
However … Although he wasn't too tired, Ye Xuan didn't intend to go out again. When he was fighting with the mounted gangsters, he used his special ability a few times. Although it wasn't much, it still consumed nearly 10 points of his mental power. So he sat cross-legged on the bed and began to recover his mental power.
…
"Dong dong dong! — — "
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Xuan suddenly heard a knock on the door. The "Elementary Meditation Technique" that Ye Xuan cultivated was not like the inner force in wuxia novels. If he was disturbed, he might go berserk. Instead, it was very smooth, and he could even retain a bit of energy to pay attention to the outside world. Moreover, he could stop whenever he wanted without any worries.
When he opened his eyes, Ye Xuan found that it was already bright outside. He got off the bed and opened the door. He found Ah Qiang standing in front of the door with a basin of water and a towel.
"You're sleeping so soundly. Here, take it! "Ah Qiang muttered a few words. When he saw Ye Xuan open the door, he stuffed the water and the towel in his hand to him.
"Thank you!" Ye Xuan said as he took the towel.
"Yeah. It's okay, my master asked me to bring this to you, not me! "Ah Qiang waved his hand at Ye Xuan and turned around to leave. Suddenly, he stopped and said, "Oh right, my master asked you to go to the front hall for breakfast after you're done bathing. You have to be quick. If you're slow, don't blame me for collecting your breakfast quickly and not letting you eat it. "
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Looking at Ah Qiang who left after throwing a tantrum like a child, Ye Xuan shook his head. If he didn't have a good master, Ye Xuan really wanted to give him a few slaps.
Suddenly having this idea, Ye Xuan couldn't help but chuckle a few times. Then, he brought the things into the house. Looking at the wooden basin filled with clean water, a white towel, a willow branch, and a small box of fine salt on the table, Ye Xuan couldn't help but pat his forehead, thinking that he was muddle-headed.
I already have a storage space, an essential artifact for home travel. How could I forget to put some daily necessities, food, and belongings in it? Just like yesterday, I came penniless. If it weren't for my special ability, I would still be wearing coarse clothes.
After reminding himself of what he had to do, Ye Xuan hastily washed up, walked out of the door, and walked toward the living room in front of him.
"Ninth Uncle, good morning!" As soon as he arrived in the living room, Ye Xuan saw Ninth Uncle sitting at the head of the table. There were a few side dishes and a pot of steaming porridge in front of him, but Ninth Uncle and the others didn't eat. Obviously, they were waiting for Ye Xuan to get up and eat.
"Good morning, little brother, how did you rest last night?" Ninth Uncle replied with a smile.
Before Ye Xuan could answer, Qiang, who was next to him, muttered, "Of course he's fine. We've been working our asses off. He sleeps early and sleeps soundly. I knocked on his door for quite a while just now."
"En?" Hearing Ah Qiang's muttering, Ninth Uncle raised his eyebrows and stared at Ah Qiang calmly.
"Ah, no, no. Master, your house is so comfortable. How could you not sleep well?" Seeing that Ninth Uncle was unhappy, Ah Qiang quickly smiled.
Although he didn't know why Ah Qiang was hostile to him, for the sake of Ninth Uncle, as long as it was not a big deal, Ye Xuan didn't take it to heart. He smiled slightly and said, "It's okay. I had a good rest last night. Thank you, Ninth Uncle, for your concern!"
"It's good that you had a good rest. Come, sit down, let's have breakfast together!" Ninth Uncle smiled slightly and pointed to the seat next to him.
"En!" Ye Xuan nodded and didn't stand on ceremony. He sat down and began to eat a bowl of porridge.
Ninth Uncle seemed to be very particular about eating. It seemed that he had a rule of "don't talk while eating". During the meal, even Ah Qiang didn't say a word.
After breakfast, Ninth Uncle asked Ah Qiang to clean up. He took Ye Xuan to the side to make a cup of tea and chatted for a while. Then, he suddenly said, "Little Brother Ye, there is something I think I still need to tell you."
"What is it? Ninth Uncle, you are welcome. Please say it!" Hearing Ninth Uncle's sudden serious words, Ye Xuan was also a little curious. He didn't know what he wanted to say.
"Last night, we thought we had eliminated the gang of horse thieves, but we were wrong. When we left, I ordered people to bury the horse thieves. But until this morning, the people we left behind hadn't come back, so I asked people to have a look. I didn't expect that they were killed, and the bodies of the horse thieves were gone. "Ninth Uncle said with a serious face.
Hearing Ninth Uncle's words, Ye Xuan frowned. He looked at Ninth Uncle and said hesitantly, "Then Ninth Uncle, you mean …"
"I think that after we left, someone must have come and taken away the bodies of the Horse Bandits. Or, the Horse Bandits faked their deaths and waited for us to leave before killing the village corpses of our village and taking away the bodies." Uncle Jiu analyzed in a deep voice.
"Taking away the bodies?" Ye Xuan said suspiciously, "The people are dead. What's the use of taking away the bodies?"
"This group of horse thieves are not ordinary people. I'm afraid that they will use evil magic to refine corpses or fierce ghosts to attack the village again." Ninth Uncle said worriedly.
