Candle Dragon to the left

Chapter 419 46. Ordinary is Joy ([-])
The man handed the rice bowl in his hand to the wife next to him, "I'm full, and there's still some left, you can eat it, no one can starve the child if you are hungry. We are equivalent to three people, and I have eaten enough .You and the child will each get two."

The wife stared at the rough and broad hand of the man, with thick joints and thick calluses on the palm. It was just like this hand that tightly held a little bit of the man's leftover food.

She can only eat half of the remaining food in the temple, let alone her man who practices martial arts?Sometimes when she wakes up hungry in the middle of the night, and glances behind her, she will see the man hugging her, using himself as a bed, his eyes are bloodshot, the man's belly can't lie to anyone, and the sound is like thunder.

In ordinary times, hunting in the deep mountains with a man's ability is nothing more than an ordinary thing. With the prey in the mountains, a man can't go hungry at all.But now the sky is clouded with blood, the sun cannot be seen for dozens of days, and hunting is out of the question. The husband and wife can only make a living on the little surplus food in the temple.This is still based on the premise that the presiding in the temple is profound and does not eat grains.

The woman wanted to push the job back to the man, but she couldn't push the man's wrist with this strength.The man's hand and the bowl he was holding lay in front of her like a rock.

At this time, there was a noise from the backyard of the temple, and Li Xi'an walked in carrying a large fan of pork.

The man's eyes stared straight at once, his eyes glowed green, and when he saw Li Xi'an approaching, he quickly went up to him, "Master, this is..."

"It was given by the pilgrims who stayed in the temple before, but the people in charge didn't pay attention to it, so they kept it in the corner. I only discovered it today." Li Xi'an weighed a large piece of pork in his hand, "It's quite heavy, It is the best rib meat, I don’t need to keep it, it just happened to be stewed for you husband and wife.”

"This..." A sudden gift made the man turn pale with shock.

"That's it. Your wife is very good at cooking, so I'll give you this piece of pork. It's just right. At the dawn of tomorrow, the blood rain will stop. After three days of rest, aren't you going to Lujin Town in the south of the mountain?" ? Three days is more than enough time, the blood rain has been falling for such a long time, it is very difficult for you to find other food on the road, and it is also very useful to prepare for the road if you can't finish it."

The man's complexion was uncertain, and finally, he folded his fists to Li Xi'an and knelt down. Under the firelight, the man's voice was deep and firm. Li Xi'an sat in front of him, and the bonfire flickered, exaggerating their two figures into silhouettes on the scene.

"Senior, Mrs. Sun can teach martial arts at home. Senior may not look down on such vulgar learning, but if I don't do anything, I am ashamed of my original intention of practicing martial arts! Senior has helped my husband and wife so much, and there is nothing in return. I can only teach you my whole life of martial arts!"

The man's head was swollen, and he couldn't feel the hunger at this time, he only felt ashamed of such kindness.

Because he doesn't have anything, a sword for his life, a martial arts accomplishment that others despise, and the only thing that the other party can accept is his wife's ancestral bracelet, how can he feel at ease?
"Okay." The man lowered his head, and Li Xi'an's response came from above.

The man was overjoyed immediately.

Supporting him up with one hand, Li Xi'an threw the fan of pork to the man, "Eat your fill first, and we'll discuss the rest later."

The fire was swaying, the smell of meat was overflowing, the man ate his mouth full of greasy food, and he was enjoying himself. He subconsciously raised his hand to ask someone to bring a jar of good wine, but suddenly thought that all of this had disappeared.

But there was still a jug of wine on his open palm.

He stared blankly at the host who was sitting across from the bonfire, and the feel of the jug in his hand was a bit unreal.

Before he opened the jug, Li Xi'an drank it before him, the aroma of the wine was alluring, and the scent of the wine just took a sip, and the man knew that this was the best wine he had never tasted before!
"Master, this..." The man felt that the jug in his palm was a little hot.

"You warriors talk so much? You should eat meat or not, and should you drink alcohol. You are coy, not like a man who is robbing with a knife." Li Xi'an didn't even lift his head.

"Hahahaha! Good!" the man laughed loudly, "host! I respect you! Compared with everyone in the audience that day, your senior is more worthy of my glass of wine! From now on, if my family is lucky enough to survive, I will definitely give You put on the honorable position, no matter what others think, we will enshrine you, and my descendants will worship you!"

The toasts were staggered, the wine was clear, and the man was hearty.

"This wine..." The man shook and raised the half-drunk jug, "I've never had such a good wine! Get drunk!"

The warm orange-yellow flames disperse the long night, let the heavy rain pour down outside the temple, and the monsters are chilling. This small place is peaceful and quiet. The woman curls up in the arms of the man with a smile on her mouth. For the first time in these dozens of days, his hands relaxed, and he embraced his wife.

Someone got up, refilled the wine jug that was mostly drunk, and put a jade bracelet on the woman.

The lights went out.

The figure drew the sword from the fire.

…………

At dawn, the long-lost sunlight came in through the doors and windows of the ruined temple, causing the man to open his eyes in a daze.

With a shock, he turned over and held the knife.

What's up with him?What happened yesterday?He can't remember anything now, the last memory turned out to be a picture he had never seen before, he was drinking with a young man.It wasn't the old host, but a young man in a red dress, with gold in his eyes, flashing and shining brighter than the sun, he still remembers it now.

Then, he caught a glimpse of the fire in the temple going out, and sunlight pouring in from the window.

The dust in the temple danced along the path of sunlight, illuminating the vermilion lacquer surface on the column he had been leaning against in the temple. The man took a deep breath, as if he had been reborn.

He bathed in the sun and recalled everything that happened before, as if in a dream.

The presiding officer in the temple, the bonfire that has never been extinguished, and the scarce but inexhaustible surplus food.

"Haha...hahahaha!" The man laughed suddenly, with tears in his laughter. With a broad knife on his back, he slowly walked forward and bowed solemnly in the direction of the rising sun beyond the mountain.

He hissed as hard as he could: "Sun Yi, Jiujin Town, Heishi Mountain, in this life, future lives, and generations to come, I will never forget Your Excellency's great kindness!"

With a muffled sound, the man smashed his head through the gate of the temple.

A pair of delicate and white hands covered the back of the man's hands, and his wife also knelt down and solemnly kowtowed three times.

"This is?" The man saw something extra on his wife's wrist, and it was that jade bracelet!
The woman smiled wryly, "It's like this when I wake up, I can't take it off."

She raised her wrist, motioning the man to look at the golden light floating in the wave-like lines deep in the jade bracelet.

The man let out a long breath, stood up, and the woman carried the burden on her back. The two looked at each other and gently closed the gate of the temple.

Strange to say, it was raining continuously, but there was no mud in the mountain, it was as clean as if the sky had been clear and clear for dozens of days instead of heavy rain.Soon, the figures of the two walked into the deep mountain towards the direction of the sun.

No one knows what the fate of the two will be.

In this land of goodness, the disputes over the law caused tens of thousands of deaths and injuries to all the people in an instant, and they were not even a single drop in the waves of history.

But so what, they are still moving forward, just like thousands of ordinary people in the good world, looking for their own destination in the troubled times.

"By the way, ma'am, I've thought about the name of the child!"

"Oh, tell me?"

"It's named... Jin Tong!" The man was arrogant.

"What kind of weird name is that?" the woman blamed.

"I feel pretty good!"

Along the way, they gradually drifted away, gradually drifting away, until the figures of the two could no longer be seen.

Li Xi'an stood on the temple, held the faint sword, and watched them leave.

"Ordinary is joy. Ordinary is joy. Sometimes I think ordinary people are good. You don't have to think about it all day long. It's enough to live a good life. I think back then, the happiest time was when I was in the village. A pheasant is enough for me to brag about for a long time, and I can run around the village even if I catch a big fish. The universe is so big, but I don’t necessarily have to take a look.” In the jade pendant, Li Chengqi crossed his legs and sighed.

"How about you, Master, how do you feel?"

"That kid's naming really isn't up to par." Li Xi'an replied.

　This is a palliative episode, occasionally writing from the perspective of ordinary people, it may be better to keep the camera on the ancestors and saints.

　　ps: As Li Xi'an said, it will not be peaceful after that.
