No one had expected that the lady in white would call Gu Changge that way.
Her expression and tone were even more unexpected. It was not as simple as just knowing each other.
The surrounding villagers were completely stunned by the scene in front of them.
Many of them even began to associate love and hate in their minds when they came to themselves.
"Su Qingge, is that Miss Su's real name …"
Chen Ya was the first to react. She did not know what had happened between Su Qingge and Gu Changge.
But judging from Su Qingge's expression and behavior, something must have happened between them. They might even be very close.
As a lady, she was too familiar with such gaze and tone.
Chen Ya's heart sank. If she were to compare herself with other ladies in the village, she would not hesitate to fight and would not think she was weaker than anyone.
But in front of Su Qingge, she would only feel inferior and extremely dim.
"Su Qingge …"
At this moment, Gu Changge slightly muttered this name.
He just felt that this name was very familiar from the bottom of his heart. He did not simply remember it, but seemed to have known it for a long time.
There was a long history between the two of them.
But he did not force himself to recall it. He just let nature take its course. When he reached a certain level, he would naturally remember everything.
"That's a nice name." Then, Gu Changge smiled.
"It's not the first time you said that." Su Qingge also smiled, her eyes full of gentleness.
Not far away, the old Taoist hesitated for a long time. At this moment, he also walked over and made a fist and palm salute to Gu Changge, "Greetings, Taoist brother."
Although his strength was unfathomable, he knew that he was no different from an ordinary person in front of Gu Changge.
So he was not sure what Gu Changge was going through. He could only brace himself to greet him, so as not to be impolite.
"Greetings, senior."
Seeing this, the middle-aged man also followed behind his ancestor and hurried to greet him as a junior.
Although Gu Changge looked very young, how could he be judged from his appearance when even his ancestor was afraid of him? To guess?
The surrounding villagers all opened their eyes wide.
In their eyes, the old Daoist and the middle-aged man were high and mighty, but in front of Gu Changge, they had such expressions.
This made them feel that it was inconceivable, as if they were dreaming.
Although Wang Xiaoniu's family of three had some expectations and guesses just now and were mentally prepared, they were still shocked.
"Uncle … Uncle Gu is also an extremely powerful cultivator?"
"I'm not dreaming, right?"
Wang Xiaoniu felt a little dizzy. Was he dreaming?
He had always yearned for and pursued the Immortal. He had always been by his side, and he kept calling him Uncle Gu.
Wang Xiaoniu's father, Wang Erniu, also felt like he was in a dream.
During this period of time, Gu Changge was still helping them with farm work, welcoming the sunrise and the sunset, full of the simple atmosphere of life.
He even kept calling him 'Brother Gu', and in his heart, he even wanted to persuade Gu Changge to stay and not wander around.
In the end, he learned that this mysterious Brother Gu might actually be an unbelievably powerful cultivator?
It was just that they were mortals and couldn't see it.
While Wang Erniu smiled bitterly in his heart, he also felt very lucky. Fortunately, his family of three got along well with Gu Changge during this period of time.
Judging from his many actions and actions, Gu Changge didn't look like a cultivator at all.
He had completely integrated into the mortal world, and there was no difference between him and an ordinary person.
"I'm not a cultivator or an Immortal now. You don't have to be so polite."
Gu Changge shook his head. He didn't think that the old Daoist and the middle-aged man were different from the surrounding villagers just because they were cultivators.
The old Daoist let out a bitter laugh. He didn't know what Gu Changge was going through now.
But from his words, he understood that he was no longer a cultivator now.
That didn't mean that he wasn't a cultivator in the past or in the future.
The sudden appearance of such a terrifying existence in this small mountain village made him feel shocked and incredulous. He also felt that the world had changed greatly.
The catastrophe had descended and the world was in turmoil. In this vast world, there were still many mysterious and unsolved things.
Originally, he thought that he was already standing at a certain peak, but now he suddenly realized that wasn't he looking at the sky from the bottom of a well?
Gu Changge's appearance made the old Daoist understand this in a real sense.
You can only know the sky from beyond the sky, and you can only know people from beyond the people.
Everything that happened in Qingshan Village spread to the nearby areas at a very fast speed.
Many villagers were shocked and in disbelief when they heard the news.
If someone didn't see it with their own eyes, who would dare to believe that an Immortal was actually by their side?
During this period of time, those who had come into contact with Gu Changge were all shocked and felt like they were dreaming.
Some people even thought that they had bought the melons that he sold. At that time, they even joked that if they looked like him, why would they sell melons? Who knew how many young ladies were waiting for him to marry.
Now that they thought about it, they were shocked and bitterly smiled.
For a time, Qingshan Village was covered with a layer of mystery.
With so many mysterious people appearing one after another, it made people wonder if this was because the scenery was good, or if there was some secret hidden here.
Some of the nearby cultivation sects had also tried to inquire about the Kongtong Immortal Sect, but the results shocked them.
This was actually a super giant force that spanned across the Immortal Realms and the Upper Realms. Even if it had only appeared in recent years, it was impossible to measure how long it had been in existence.
This was no longer a level that they could imagine and come into contact with.
In the following period of time, Qingshan Village gradually returned to its former tranquility after the initial shock and bustle.
Although many villagers knew that Gu Changge's identity was extraordinary, they found that he was no different from before.
He did what he had to do.
His daily life was very regular. He worked at sunrise and rested at sunset.
However, the people who delivered water and food to him changed from many of the young ladies in the village to Miss Su.
After learning of Gu Changge's identity, basically all the young ladies gave up on him, including Miss Chen Ya who sold tofu at the entrance of the village.
In their eyes, the huge gap in identity was almost an insurmountable gap.
However, there were still some people who would secretly peek. Young people did not worry, but who did not yearn for love?
Time passed quickly, and Wang Xiaoniu was finally taken away by the old Taoist.
Although his parents were reluctant, they also understood that from now on, their child would become a real cultivator, which was much more honorable than being the top scorer in the exam.
Therefore, they did not let Wang Xiaoniu feel too much of a burden. With smiles and expectations, they watched him go away.
Before leaving, the old Taoist left a lot of good things for the couple. Not to say that it would make them immortal, but it would be easy to extend their lives by decades or centuries.
Whether it was for Gu Changge's sake or for Wang Xiaoniu's sake, he had to do so.
As soon as Wang Xiaoniu left, Wang Erniu and his wife were more or less reluctant to part with him, because they did not know how many years Wang Xiaoniu would cultivate after this departure, and when would be the next time they saw him.
Of course, in addition to Wang Erniu and his wife, there was another person who was very reluctant to part with Wang Xiaoniu.
The youngest daughter of the Chen family, Chen Erya, was just her nickname. Her real name was Chen Xiaoya.
Before leaving, Wang Xiaoniu secretly came to see her and gave her the jade pendant with sword patterns that the old Taoist gave him. He said that he would come back to see her after his cultivation was successful, and he would bring her delicious food and fun things to play with.
The two of them were not old. Although they were not at the age where they first fell in love, they already had a vague good impression of each other.
Moreover, Chen Xiaoya did not accept his jade pendant. She just wiped her tears and asked him to cultivate well. In the end, the two children directly hugged each other and cried.
Gu Changge knew about this matter because Chen Xiaoya took the initiative to tell him.
Because she thought that Gu Changge was also a cultivator, and he was respected by the old Taoist, she wanted to know if she had the fate to become an immortal.
Gu Changge did not answer this question. But Su Qingge told Chen Xiaoya that she and Wang Xiaoniu would definitely meet again in the future. The thing called fate was actually predestined.
For Su Qingge, everything that happened today was her fate.
She did not know why Gu Changge experienced such things, but it was the best gift that God allowed her to meet him again here.
Before Wang Xiaoniu left with the old Taoist, Gu Changge moved out of the Wang family and lived with Su Qingge.
Of course, it was Su Qingge who took the initiative to mention this.
For Gu Changge, this was very natural. It seemed that this was how it should be.
Although the two of them were not married, they had a tacit understanding as if they had been husband and wife for many years.
Su Qingge knew his habits and preferences. Even the temperature of the tea was clear to her.
Gu Changge was also used to the simple and comfortable life with her around.
Outside the courtyard, he opened up a few pieces of land. It was not big, but some bean sprouts, fruits and vegetables were planted there.
He worked hard every day, weeding and watering. When it was time to harvest, he sent them to the market with the help of the Wang family's cart.
Because the nearby villagers all knew his identity, these fruits and vegetables were very popular.
Su Qingge also seemed to have abandoned her identity as a cultivator. She changed into coarse linen clothes, put on a headscarf, and tied up her hair. Every day, she cooked and washed for Gu Changge.
She would also bring him sweet spring water when the weather was hot. She would use her sleeve to gently wipe away the sweat on his forehead. She would also carefully smooth out his collar, tidy up his cuffs, and sew his clothes.
When it was cold, she would heat the stove and embroider cotton-padded shoes for him.
When autumn came, it was bleak. The nearby trees began to fall and swirl in the autumn wind.
And the harvested rice was exposed to the sun in the courtyard. Each grain was golden. When the sun set, there would be a few wisps of twilight. Su Qingge looked at it and felt that all this was very gentle.
Gu Changge was busy with it, but he also enjoyed it.
At night, it was snowing. The weather was getting colder and colder. It was winter.
The nearby villagers were used to Gu Changge's identity, so they were not overcautious because of his origin and identity as a cultivator.
In addition, Su Qingge had a good reputation in the village. In this season, the villagers also sent cured meat, home-brewed liquor, and other things.
And at this time, Su Qingge was happy to show the cooking skills she learned. Although the dishes were not perfect in color, smell, and taste, in Gu Changge's eyes, they were good in appearance and taste.
It was getting colder and colder. Even the lake was covered with a layer of ice. Soon, the courtyard was covered with a thin layer of snow.
The whole world was silvery white and silent.
Inside the room, the fire in the stove was burning fiercely. The dry wood crackled and splashed some sparks from time to time.
The two huddled together on the bed, which was not very big, and slept in each other's arms.
Gu Changge listened to the falling snow outside. Some snowflakes drifted in through the gaps.
He tightened the quilt around the two of them, hugged Su Qingge tighter, and smoothed the hair around her ears.
And Su Qingge leaned on his chest, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat of 5.4, with a smile on her face.
At this moment, it seemed that only the two of them were left in the whole world.
Winter came and went, and the sun and moon flew. Time passed quickly.
Gu Changge's perception of the world became clearer and clearer. He felt that all of this had something to do with mortals.
So what if they were cultivators? Some pursued natural Taoist methods and longevity, while some pursued returning to nature and being plain and natural …
Everyone had a different view on mortals.
The so-called mortals were actually not mortals in the real sense, but a kind of ordinary state of mind and ideology.
Cultivators pursued longevity and immortality. They were dissatisfied with the current situation and fought for it.
And mortals pursued glory, splendor, wealth, and power. Wasn't this also a fight?
Both of them did not want to live an ordinary life.
Wang Xiaoniu's family of three and all the villagers in Qingshan Village were mortals, but they were still fighting for it.
The poor wanted to live a rich life, and those with chronic diseases wanted to live a healthy life, while the rich wanted to have a complete family with plenty of children and grandchildren …
Wang Erniu worked hard on the farm tomorrow. He worked at sunrise and rested at sunset.
In this world of mortals, the sound of insects only lasted for one autumn, and the flowers of the Epiphyllum only lasted for one night. Who was not fighting for it?
In Gu Changge's view, the words "immortal and mortal" had long been out of their original meaning.
What was immortal? What was mortal? What was heaven? What was human?
Immortals fought, robbed, and deceived each other? Or immortal, lofty and ethereal, not competing with the world, and quietly watching the world of mortals?
But these were all immortals.
Mortals experienced birth, aging, illness, and death, saw all kinds of things in the world of mortals, transcended the world, and lived in seclusion. But they were still mortals.
