The Legend of Hoe Immortal

Chapter 6 6. Is the fairy not coming to pick me up?
But Yu Niang had a hunch that the old man would say more than that, this was an agreement between them, and he didn't need to be so nervous.

And he came early in the morning with dark circles under his eyes, obviously because he hadn't slept all night.

Could it be that it has something to do with his secret of becoming younger?

Anyway, Yuniang doesn't believe that eating an old man's apple can make her old again.

The old man gave her a lot of apples, and she often ate them, and she didn't look younger.

Then, the old man trembled again, and told how to save the immortal. The immortal asked him to escort him to the immortal world and promised to take him to cultivate immortality. After cultivating immortality, he can live hundreds to thousands of years. I went to cultivate immortals with Huzi, and talked about going to the fairy world, receiving the elixir, and then becoming young.

After finishing speaking, the old man asked again tremblingly:

"Yu Niang, I want to cultivate immortals, are you still willing to marry me?"

There is too much information about what the old man said, and the average person will probably be stunned for half an hour before they can recover.

Yu Niang also found it inconceivable, but after listening to the old man's words, she gave a very clear answer:

"I am willing."

The old man thought he heard it wrong, so he continued to add:

"If you don't want to, I will also leave all the property including the orchard to you, and they will sell apples in my name next year, and they will give me a commission, all of which belong to you."

Yu Niang looked at him with a smile: "Old man, I said, I am willing!"

Yu Niang is so firm, because she believes that the old man is an honest person, sincerely treats her orphans and widows well, and will not lie to her, that's enough!
When the old man heard this, his eyes started to water again, and he said excitedly:
"Really? Then I will marry you in a few days!"

Yu Niang also let out a happy "hmm".

Just when the old man was about to go back, Yuniang stopped the old man again and said seriously:

"Old man, I believe what you said, but the matter of immortals, elixir and cultivating immortals is too big to make people jealous. You must not mention it to anyone, so as not to cause trouble."

Seeing that Yuniang was so concerned, the old man nodded solemnly and said, "I know, I won't mention it to anyone again!"

After speaking, the old man was like a child, and went back happily.

As soon as the old man came home, he divided a large house into two rooms and one living room, and built a kitchen and bathroom in the yard.

The mountain village is vast and sparsely populated. His home was not small. It’s just that when the old man was alone, he liked to turn a big house into a large room. Now it’s not troublesome to build a kitchen and bathroom in another room. The old man is strong. Great, it was done in two days.

Then the old man asked someone to see the auspicious time, and after three days, he took Yuniang and Huzi over, pasted the red letter, worshiped the heaven and the earth, and even married Yuniang.

Some of the neighbors brought chickens and ducks, some fish, some eggs, and some didn’t bring anything. They all went to the old man’s house and drank some tea, congratulating the old man on his wedding. .

She doesn't mind about Yuniang's second marriage, on the contrary, she prefers to be simple and live her life realistically.

Huzi also shyly called "Father" to the old man, so happy that the old man's already rejuvenated orange peel wrinkled together again, and water came out of his eyes again.

At this point, the old man's home of the trio was officially established.

The sweet days passed like this.

While enjoying the warmth of having a wife and children, the old man waited for the arrival of the immortal.

In this way, another month passed.

That is to say, it has been four months since the old man came back from the fairy world, and the fairy has not come.

The old man thought to himself that it would be better if the immortal came later, so that he could enjoy more family happiness in the mortal world.

After Yuniang passed through the door, the old man was truly able to live as a husband and wife, and he and Yuniang became husband and wife, which made the old man fondly remembered.

Most of the old man’s orchards grow apples, because compared to other fruits, apples stay on the tree for a long time, and they are also stored for a long time after picking, so they are less likely to be wasted. His idea is solid.

Now, the season of apples has passed, and the farm work has become much less. In addition to hugging Yuniang, the old man likes to take Huzi into the mountains to hunt and go down the river to fish in his spare time. Huzi also likes it. , so it can be regarded as a harmonious relationship between the father and son.

In fact, Huzi has never seen his biological father since he was a child. The long-term lack of paternal love made him very envious of his peers, and he longed for his father's company and protection.

Huzi knew that the old man was going to cultivate immortality, because if a fairy came to pick up the old man, Huzi would eventually know.

So Yuniang and the old man still chose to tell Huzi earlier, and solemnly reminded Huzi not to say anything. Huzi knows the seriousness and naturally keeps the secret.

But Huzi also knew that the old man had been waiting for the immortal, so while he was enjoying the warmth of the father and son, he was also worried that the father would leave sooner or later, and he couldn't help but feel a bit of sadness in his heart.

The fifth month has passed, and while the old man is enjoying the gluey and honey-like married life, he still hasn't waited for the arrival of the fairy, and the old man's inner anxiety has increased a little.

But he still told himself that it is better for the immortal to come later, so that he can enjoy more family happiness.

Therefore, in the sixth month, the old man is becoming more and more fond of the family happiness, and at the same time, he is anxiously looking forward to the arrival of the immortal.

One day, Huzi suddenly said to Yuniang: "Mother, why don't you and Daddy have a younger brother and sister? If Daddy goes to cultivate immortality, we can have another companion."

Yuniang didn't expect that Huzi would say that, and she, who was always calm, blushed and didn't speak, continuing to do her housework.

You said why is this tiger baby so ignorant? Her mother is 35 years old. Older mothers are at risk. But Yu Niang seems to have listened. With her personality, if she disagrees, she will immediately refute.

At night, Yuniang asked the old man if we want to have a baby, Hu Zi wants a younger brother and sister, the old man was moved for a while.

But I don't know where he got the wisdom to say: "When I go to the fairy world, I will bring you some elixir. After you eat the elixir, we will be reborn, trust me!"

The old man actually thought that his whole family would become immortals, and his baby would be born immortal. Maybe it was the elixir that opened up his wisdom.

Another day, the villagers discovered that the old man was no longer getting younger, and he was still in his 30s. The fact that he hadn't changed became the biggest topic, and the villagers talked about it with gusto.

The old man replied embarrassingly: "Because the apple season is over."

In this way, the sixth month passed again, and the seventh month came, but the immortal still did not come, and the old man couldn't hold back anymore.

Said to Yuniang in a trembling voice: "Is the immortal not coming to pick me up?"

But Yu Niang was more confident than him, and replied firmly: "The immortal will come to pick you up!"

In the eighth month, the immortal still did not come, so the old man asked Yuniang again: "Is the immortal not coming to pick me up?"

Yu Niang still replied: "The fairy will come to pick you up!"

In the ninth month, the immortal still did not come, so the old man asked Yuniang again: "Is the immortal not coming to pick me up?"

Yu Niang still replied: "The fairy will come to pick you up!"

The old man began to waver!

But his daughter-in-law still firmly believes that the immortal will come.

In the tenth month, one night, in the yard outside the old man's house, there was a knock on the door.

The old man and Huzi were sleeping soundly, when Yu Niang woke up, she boldly went to open the door, there was a sixteen or seventeen year old girl standing in front of the door, it was Su Xiaoyi who came.

Su Xiaoyi: "Are you Widow Chen?"

Yu Niang: "Are you a senior immortal?"

I don't know if it's a woman's intuition, but they all recognized each other at a glance.

The two women nodded, and Yu Niang invited Xiao Yi into the hall, poured tea, and went to the bedroom to call the old man: "Old man, the immortal is here to pick you up."

The old man thought it was a dream. In the dream, Yuniang told him that the fairy came to pick him up, so he was still smirking with his eyes closed, nagging that the fairy came to pick me up.

Yu Niang was very speechless, so she had to pinch him hard. With a sound of "ah", the old man woke up.

Hearing the old man's cry, the tiger next door also woke up.

Yu Niang led the old man and Hu Zi to the hall together.

The old man's eyes were still sleepy, but when he saw Su Xiaoyi, his eyes lit up with gold, and he slapped himself fiercely, and the other three were startled by his action.

After feeling the pain, the old man tremblingly said: "Su Fairy, are you here to pick me up?"

Seeing how excited he was, Su Xiaoyi stood up and quickly replied: "Yes, I'm here to pick you up."

Hearing Su Xiaoyi's answer, the old man became excited again, and hurried to shake Yuniang's hand:

"Yu Niang, the immortal is here to pick me up!"

Then he went to shake Huzi's hand again:
"Huzi, the immortal is here to pick me up!"

When the old man finally calmed down a little, Yuniang said:

"Let the immortal stand and talk, please sit down and talk, immortal, please sit down."

Everyone sat down and talked.

The old man first introduced Yuniang and Huzi to Su Xiaoyi, and Su Xiaoyi playfully praised the old man for being young and capable, and actually married Yuniang.

Then she apologized to Yuniang, saying that she called her Widow Chen because she didn't know the exact name when they first met. I hope she doesn't mind.

Yuniang is used to being called, naturally she doesn't mind, and she also thinks that Su Xiaoyi has a bright personality and is easy to get along with, so she can't help but admire her beauty. She looks like a teenager at a hundred years old, which makes people envious. I hope the gods don't mind her vulgar peasant woman .

Su Xiaoyi was very pleasing to the ear, and said, Yuniang, don't worry, I brought an elixir, which can help you become beautiful.

Yu Niang was shocked, she was really happy that there is a magic pill that can make her beautiful.

Su Xiaoyi went on to talk about the old man who could have taken the old man to the fairyland last time, but the old man attached great importance to Yuniang's mother and son, and hoped that he would enter the fairyland after explaining to the mother and son. Yuniang and Huzi were very moved by the old man.

Xiaoyi also told Yuniang that the old man would have a chance to take them there after he cultivated immortality, so that Yuniang didn't have to worry, and she also fought with her grandfather so that the old man could come back twice a year to visit relatives, so that Yuniang didn't have to worry too much.

Then, Xiaoyi conjured up a bag of silver out of thin air, and said that the 1000 taels of silver would be given to Yuniang to ensure that their mother and child would have a worry-free life after the old man left.

Yu Niang refused to accept it, but Xiao Yi said that the money in the mortal world was useless in the fairy world, so Yu Niang accepted it.
