The girl's voice was very gentle and quiet, which made Jiang Xiaofan confused. After so many years, among all the girls he knew, only this girl was very similar to Ye Qiuyu. They were almost the same kind of people, both with that kind of otherworldly temperament.
"Jiang Xiaofan?"
There was no response from inside the house, and a slightly puzzled voice came from outside the door.
Jiang Xiaofan came back to his senses and said, "Okay, I'll get up right away."
…
In a small house next to him, there were a few dishes on the wooden table. They were very ordinary and nothing special.
"Kid, you're here?"
Old man Ye said with a smile.
Jiang Xiaofan walked over and said with a smile, "Sorry to disturb you, old man."
"You're a guest, there's no need to disturb.
Have a seat, "Old man Ye said.
The old man's face was flushed and he seemed very easy-going.
"Thank you."
Jiang Xiaofan sat down.
Ye Qingrou sat at the side, and Huanghuang jumped down from her shoulder and grabbed a small plate. There were many fragrant and delicious dishes on it, and it began to eat as if there was no one else around. From time to time, it would squeak and seem very satisfied.
Looking at this scene, Jiang Xiaofan couldn't help but feel a little more cheerful.
Old man Ye took out a jar of wine and two small bowls. The wine was very strong, but it was very mellow.
"Home-brewed, how does it taste?"
Old man Ye asked.
Jiang Xiaofan nodded. "It's very good."
"By the way, young man, where are you from?"
Old man Ye asked after three rounds of wine.
Jiang Xiaofan was slightly stunned and fell silent.
"Is it inconvenient?"
Old man Ye was puzzled.
Jiang Xiaofan shook his head and said, "No, I'm from a very far place, very far away."
As if thinking of something, he asked the old man where this place was.
"A paradise."
Old man Ye said.
Jiang Xiaofan fell silent again. He had never heard of a paradise.
There used to be nine universes in this world, which were respectively opened by the nine Great Heavenly Daos. He was very familiar with these nine worlds. However, this world clearly had no connection with the nine universes. There was no aura similar to the nine universes in this world.
Where exactly did this paradise belong to?
"Very appropriate."
Jiang Xiaofan said.
Gradually, Old Man Ye seemed to be a little drunk and started to talk nonsense.
"Boy, how's my granddaughter's cooking?"
The old man narrowed his eyes and said.
Jiang Xiaofan was astonished and looked at Ye Qingrou: "You did this?"
Ye Qingrou nodded: "It's not good, don't mind it."
Jiang Xiaofan shook his head. "No, it's really well done."
He was not lying. When he was on the Fairy Planet, Abbess Qingchen had also cooked with ordinary ingredients. Although the taste was bland, it had the miraculous effect of calming one's heart. However, the dishes cooked by this girl were several times better than Qingchen's. He had originally thought that the dishes were cooked by Old Man Ye.
"Don't say that. I'll be proud."
Ye Qingrou smiled.
She wore a pure white robe and had an ethereal temperament. Jiang Xiaofan stared at her, a dazed look in his eyes. It was like he was looking at an old friend from the North Star Constellation. His chest couldn't help but feel heavy.
"Boy, where are you staring at?"
Old Man Ye coughed.
Only then did Jiang Xiaofan realize that his actions seemed a little impolite.
"I'm sorry."
He said to the girl.
Ye Qingrou shook her head. "It's okay."
She looked at Jiang Xiaofan's eyes. They were very clean and deep. In the deepest part of his eyes, she saw a trace of loneliness.
"You …"
She moved her lips, wanting to ask something, but in the end, she didn't say anything.
The night became darker and darker. Jiang Xiaofan helped to clean up the dishes and returned to the room. Lying in the unfamiliar room, he tossed and turned. He closed his eyes and couldn't fall asleep.
He sat up from the bed and walked out of the house.
The people in the small village were already resting. He quietly walked out of the village. Not far from the village, there was a lake. The lake water was very soft and shone with a faint silver light under the moonlight.
He walked to the lakeside and sat down.
"Where is this place?"
He muttered to himself.
He had used the forbidden reincarnation technique. Logically speaking, he should have died. He was very clear about this. However, he didn't die now. He just lost his strength. Nothing else changed. As for this world that didn't belong to the Nine-Sided Universe, he had some doubts. Could it be that the greater world gave birth to a greater world?
"Can't sleep?"
A voice came from behind.
Jiang Xiaofan turned his head. Under the moonlight, a girl walked over. It was Ye Qingrou.
"Yiya!"
Huang Huang jumped down from the girl's shoulder and jumped on top of Jiang Xiaofan's head.
Jiang Xiaofan reached out and patted the little guy.
He looked at the girl and said, "A little. What about you? Can't sleep too? "
"I know you can't sleep, so you came here."
Ye Qingrou said.
Jiang Xiaofan was slightly startled. Then, he smiled bitterly. He was also touched.
This was a smart girl. She was also a considerate girl.
"Thank you."
He said.
"You're welcome."
Ye Qingrou said.
The girl was very generous. She walked to Jiang Xiaofan's side. She tidied up her dress and sat down. The girl's eyes were very pure. She looked up at the moon in the sky and blinked from time to time.
"You have something on your mind, and it's very heavy."
Ye Qingrou said.
She didn't avoid it. When she said these words, she was still looking at the moon in the sky.
"A little."
Jiang Xiaofan nodded.
Ye Qingrou smiled and said, "More than a little, right?"
Jiang Xiaofan was somewhat helpless. Was his performance so obvious?
He couldn't help but sigh. He lowered his head and looked at the lake.
The girl didn't speak again. That night, she sat beside Jiang Xiaofan. Until morning, when the first rays of the morning sun streaked across the sky and fell to the ground, Jiang Xiaofan realized that a night had passed.
He looked at the girl beside him and was a little embarrassed. "Sorry, I made you stay outside for a night."
"I was looking at the moon."
Ye Qingrou smiled faintly.
She patted her dress and stood up. "Let's go back to the village."
"Okay."
Jiang Xiaofan stood up.
He walked side by side with the girl. When they passed by the village entrance, they were coincidentally seen by a few old men. The old men woke up very early. When they saw this scene, they couldn't help but tease them.
"Tsk tsk tsk, a man and a woman alone outside for a night. Old Man Ye, you still say that he's not your grandson-in-law."
An old man said.
Jiang Xiaofan wasn't far from the old men. Naturally, he heard the old man's words.
"Old man, you like to joke."
Ye Qingrou smiled.
She didn't feel embarrassed at all. She was natural and unrestrained.
"That's true."
Jiang Xiaofan nodded.
Ye Qingrou went into the house to prepare breakfast. Jiang Xiaofan was called over by the old men.
"Young man, how is it? How's the Ye family's girl?"
Someone asked.
There were four old men sitting here. One of them was Old Man Ye. As for the other three, Jiang Xiaofan didn't know their specific names. He only knew that their surnames were Cang, Bo, and Lin.
The one who asked was surnamed Cang.
"Very good."
Jiang Xiaofan smiled.
Old Man Cang slapped his thigh. "As expected, they're lovers. Not bad!"
Jiang Xiaofan suddenly felt very speechless. "…"
Love and concubine? Did he say anything else?
"Young man, when are you going to marry the Ye family's girl?"
Old Man Bo said.
The old man narrowed his eyes. There was a twinkle in his eyes.
Jiang Xiaofan was speechless again.
Old Man Lin looked at Old Man Cang, then at Old Man Bo, and finally at Jiang Xiaofan. "They've asked what I wanted to ask."
Jiang Xiaofan blushed with shame. These old men were really living treasures.
He looked at Old Man Ye. "What do you think?"
"Young man, you make your own decisions."
Old Man Ye was very strange today.
Not long after, Ye Qingrou finished preparing breakfast. It was very simple millet porridge. She brought it out in a wooden bowl.
"Why is there only one bowl?"
The four old men were surprised.
Ye Qingrou handed the wooden bowl to Jiang Xiaofan and said softly, "While it's hot."
Then, she turned and walked away.
The four old men at the side suddenly widened their eyes.
Only one bowl?
Only for Jiang Xiaofan?
It wasn't like this before!
Old Man Cang looked at Old Man Ye and sighed. "A grown girl can't be kept at home."
"Yes."
Old Man Lin felt the same.
Jiang Xiaofan couldn't help but smile. He didn't expect that the elegant and otherworldly Ye Qingrou would have such a cute side. Obviously, she heard the old men making fun of her and deliberately prepared only his portion.
"How about I give it to you?"
Jiang Xiaofan asked.
The old men tilted their heads and looked at the sky. They didn't seem to appreciate it.
In the sky, the sun became a little hot. Jiang Xiaofan and the four old men sat together and talked about something. There were more than a dozen families in the small village, but only the four old men and Ye Qingrou were there.
"Where are the others?"
Jiang Xiaofan asked.
"They all went out."
Old Man Ye said.
Jiang Xiaofan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Not long after noon, Ye Qingrou walked out of the small house with a medicine basket on her back and walked out of the village.
"Qingrou, going to pick herbs again?"
Old Man Cang said.
Ye Qingrou nodded. On her shoulder, Huanghuang squeaked.
Old Man Lin pulled Jiang Xiaofan and said with an unfathomable look, "Young man, hurry up and follow her. This old man has studied the Eight Trigrams for many years. Believe me, you and the Ye family's girl have a great destiny."
Jiang Xiaofan: "…"
Study the Eight Trigrams?
He was the Dao of Heaven. How could he study the Dao of Heaven?
"Kid, go and help the Ye girl pick herbs."
Old Man Cang said.
Jiang Xiaofan didn't hesitate this time. He stood up and walked out of the village.
He actually wanted to go out for a walk and think about what to do next.
Ye Qingrou walked very slowly. Jiang Xiaofan quickly caught up with her.
"Let me."
He took the medicine basket from the girl's shoulder.
Ye Qingrou didn't act pretentious. She just thanked him and led the way.
"Squeak!"
Huanghuang jumped on Jiang Xiaofan's head. It looked down at Jiang Xiaofan with its big watery eyes.
Looking at the little guy, Jiang Xiaofan felt that it was very cute.
"Oh right, thank you."
He said with a smile.
Ye Qingrou told him that the little guy brought her to find him and then brought him back.
"Squeak!"
Huanghuang shook its head and patted its chest with its paw, indicating that it was nothing.
Jiang Xiaofan couldn't help but smile. The little guy was too understanding.
There was a mountain not far from the village. Looking from afar, the mountain was hazy with fog, as if there were immortals living there.
"We're only looking for herbs outside. Don't go in."
Ye Qingrou said to Jiang Xiaofan.
