She's going to be a sect boss

Chapter 70 Village
Seeing this was an opportunity, He Miao hurriedly stepped forward, approached old man Xu and asked, "Old man, how did you see that there is yin in this place?"

Old man Xu glanced at He Miao with a half-smile, but he didn't hide it, he just explained:

"It's the 27th of the twelfth lunar month. It's almost the time of the Chinese New Year. There are only a few wisps of smoke in the whole village. Although the sky is sunny, there is no festive feeling in the air."

There has never been a New Year's Eve in the world of cultivating immortals. When He Miao came out of the secret realm, he didn't know what year and month it was, but he didn't know it. It was almost the New Year's Eve.

The old man Xu said so much, He Miao could understand what he said.

"Go, go beg for some water."

Old man Xu said.

He Miao followed, and the two entered the village step by step.This place is indeed as old man Xu said, a huge village, the streets are deserted, and no one can be seen.

It's the New Year's Eve, but the doors of every house are closed.

This weird scene made He Miao very strange.

"Go, knock on the door."

Old man Xu ordered He Miao to order him as it should.

Seeing this, He Miao went up to the wooden door of a family and knocked lightly on the door. On the quiet street, there was only the sound of He Miao knocking on the door.

"Knock louder."

Seeing that no one opened the door, old man Xu reminded.

Seeing this, He Miao beat the door vigorously a few more times, but no matter how much she beat, no one opened the door.

"Change to another one."

Old man Xu didn't seem to be surprised when he saw this, he just opened his mouth and said.

As a last resort, He Miao changed another one, and several consecutive ones were like this.

"Call out and ask if anyone is there?"

He Miao had no choice but to ask, "Is there anyone there?"

After a long time, I heard the sound of chaotic footsteps.A dark-faced and honest man slightly opened the door, followed by a plainly dressed woman, with two spots of sorghum red on her face, it was his wife at first glance.

"What's up?"

The man looked at He Miao warily through the crack of the door.

Of course, He Miao didn't miss the heavy hatchet in his hand, the sharp blade was scary to look at.

"Young man, I am traveling with my granddaughter. I am tired and want to beg for a drink." Old man Xu immediately approached the door and said with a smile on his face.

It was probably the weak combination of the old and the young, which made it difficult for people to feel fear. The man let down his vigilance and opened the door.

As soon as the man opened the door, old man Xu squeezed in immediately, cheerfully making friends with him, and what he said made He Miao even more ashamed:
"Young man, it's almost noon soon. It would be even better if you can prepare some food. You don't need big fish and meat. My old man has bad teeth and can't bite. We can use home-cooked food in the countryside. But it's the Chinese New Year, and a chicken is fine." good."

What old man Xu said was not polite.

He Miao showed disdain. He had seen Lun eat and drink, but he had never seen Lun eat with a la carte.

What old man Xu said next made He Miao even more speechless.

"Don't worry, I won't let you suffer. My granddaughter will give you money."

Well, that's it for He Miao, he has a grandpa, and he has to pay for it.

The man's wife looked friendly at first glance, and immediately waved her hands: "No, no, I'm a guest from afar."

But the man didn't speak, so He Miao knew that the man was in charge of the house.

She was really embarrassed to eat and drink for free, but it was impossible for old man Xu to eat chicken.He Miao deliberately picked and fumbled, and then reluctantly took out a few copper coins from his bosom, pretending to be pitiful and saying:

"Brother and sister-in-law, happy new year, my grandparents and grandchildren only have a few copper coins left, take a look..."

The man saw that the two men were dressed in shabby clothes, and they seemed to have no money, so he took He Miao's copper coin and smiled a little, saying:

"Country people don't have much to eat, so let's eat together."

Only then did he signal his wife to light the fire and cook.

It's not that He Miao is really poor, after all, she hasn't spent much of the 500 taels of silver she stole from the little emperor.

It's just that she is stingy by nature and loves to save money; secondly, she knows the principle of not revealing her wealth.

When you go out, who knows what kind of people you will meet, the more low-key and poorer you are, the safer you will be.

Old man Xu was not too polite, he sat on the stool as soon as he entered the room, looked around, and then asked:

"What's the matter with you? Such a big village, it's big for Chinese New Year, it's not lively at all."

Seeing the ugly face of the man, he seemed unwilling to elaborate.

Old man Xu smiled again and took out the used tortoise shell from his pocket, put it on the table, and sighed pretendingly:
"Old man, I don't have any other skills. I just learned some strange skills from my master. It's a pity that I haven't used them for a long time."

Seeing this, the man finally couldn't hold back anymore and started chatting.

It turned out that it was a strange thing that happened last night. It was said that a cloud of black mist came from nowhere at night and suddenly began to attack the people in the village. The people who had been taken care of by the black mist were frightened and fell ill.

When it was Chinese New Year, everyone in the village was afraid, so they closed the door and dared not go out.

He Miao knew as soon as he heard it, it seemed to be the black mist he encountered last night.

The baby tower has been built here for a long time. It seems that the black mist attacked others for the first time last night. Could it be that she was fighting with Zhang, who accidentally disturbed something?
"Do you know what's weird around here before?" Old man Xu asked knowingly.

The man hesitated again and again, but still told about the baby tower, only hiding that all baby girls and those who were alive would be thrown into it.

It was only when the evil spirits were causing trouble before, and an expert helped to draw the Taoist talisman, it was suppressed.

As he spoke, he asked old man Xu to help draw the Dao talisman again.

Because of what he heard before, He Miao couldn't feel any sympathy for these villagers at all.

The sky is perpetual, what kind of cause is planted, what kind of fruit will be born.She made up her mind that she would never help these villagers.

Old man Xu agreed without hesitation, but he also said that this matter is more troublesome, and he still needs to invite the village chief and elders who are in charge of the village to come over and discuss it together.

When the man heard this, he immediately became respectful to old man Xu.As he said that, he was going to invite the elders in the village.

As soon as the man left, He Miao immediately asked, "Old man, do you really want to take care of it?"

Old man Xu glanced at He Miao, put away the tortoise shell, and said solemnly:
"People of my generation naturally want to exorcise evil and help the people. Besides, even if someone does evil, we can't let everyone suffer the consequences. Some people will be innocent in the end."

He Miao heard old man Xu's words, although he felt aggrieved in his heart, he couldn't find a good reason to refute.

At the moment, he just said sullenly: "Anyway, if you have to take care of it, I will never help."

While talking, the woman just brought up two bowls of water.

"Drink quickly, girls, I'll help you cook."

He Miao was coming to see his aunt, so he thought about it and said, "Sister-in-law, let me go with you."

The woman pushed back again and again, but He Miao insisted.The woman had no choice but to let He Miao follow.

"Sister-in-law, I have come to Kuishui this month, can you help me?"

As soon as he entered the back room, He Miao immediately explained his intention.

Seeing this, the woman immediately rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, found a clean piece of cloth, took out plant ashes from the kitchen stove to fill it in, and then said to He Miao, "Go and use it."

He Miao knew that it was not easy for women in ancient times, and now is not the time to be hypocritical, so she responded immediately.

When she came back, she saw the woman making a bowl of brown sugar water for her, and told her: "Drink it quickly, warm your stomach, and sit in the back room, so you don't catch a cold."

He Miao remembered the old man Xu's words just now, and faced the woman's kindness, he fell silent for a while.

　Thanks for the recommendation~
