Elaborate on the world of mortals

Chapter 10 Strange Things
The sun was fine this day, and by the thatched hut next to the Caogu field at the head of the village, a few people were basking in the sun, holding their rice bowls and squatting there while eating and chatting. The cat said while waving its chopsticks.

"Hey, have you heard? The eldest son of the old Yi family is back!"

A man who was eating porridge and rice raised his head when he heard this, and stared at the person with wide eyes, with a look of incredulity on his face, and at the same time when he spoke, some fine porridge froth spewed out.

"What? Baokang is such an honest person, and he has an older son outside? Then his family's vicious woman must skin him!"

"Hey, it's not what you think! It's Baokang's brother!"

"His brother? He can't be that fool, right?" "Tell me in detail!"

"Come, come, sit on the stool, sit on the stool."

Someone hurriedly offered a stool to the visitor, while he squatted to the side to eat, and the visitor sat down politely and began to talk.

"Don't believe it, it's all spread."

"I saw someone visiting Baokang's family two days ago. Could it be those two people?"

The man who had just arrived grabbed his chopsticks and poked them in vain.

"That's right, that's right, those two people, one is the eldest son of the Yi family, and the other is a quack! Uh, after so many years, I have forgotten the name of the boss of the Yi family, what is it called Yi Shu?"

"Yi Shuyuan?"

Someone reminded him, and the man who spoke slapped his thigh while holding the chopsticks.

"That's right, that's the name, Yi Shuyuan! What did the old man say back then, the Yi family has a 'Shuyuan' and a 'Hanlin', how can I suppress this name, it killed the child, so Uncle Sheng died. That’s why Baokang’s name was changed.”

A man touched the porridge grains at the corner of his mouth with his hand, and then stuffed it into his mouth, saying in surprise.

"You mean, that idiot who ran out, uh, that Yi Shuyuan is not dead yet?"

"Not only didn't he die, but he came back! I heard that even the stupid hysteria is cured!"

The people who got together were talking, and another person trotted over with a bowl in his hand. He was still a dozen steps away, and he started talking excitedly.

"Hey, hey, I have news that the eldest son of the Yi family is back!"

"We're talking about this, what's new news for you?" "Come here and talk about it!"

The newcomer likes to talk with something stuffed in his mouth, he chews a few mouthfuls of rice while picking up rice, and then speaks mysteriously.

"I heard that the man walked back by himself, and he looks younger than Baokang!"

"Don't you look old?"

"Not only does he not look old, Niu San said that the beard and hair are very black, and his face is also tender. Looking left and right, he stares at the sky, saying that he looks like he can't even reach thirty."

Hearing this, several people nearby were startled and stopped delivering food one after another.

"Ah?" "Are you serious?" "Is there such a thing?"

"Did you hear it wrong, or Niu San misread it?"

Hearing that his own news was refuted, the person who spoke with food in his mouth immediately swallowed the food in his mouth to answer the question, moved his neck and nuzzled his mouth to indicate the direction of a village, and there were obviously some people chatting at the other end.

"Hey, well, it's not just Niu San who said that over there, but also a few others who have seen it!"

"Could it be that the son of the boss of the Yi family has returned?"

Some people raised joint doubts, while others immediately refuted them.

"Yes, it is indeed reasonable to calculate the time!"

"Can Baokang admit his mistake?" "Exactly, and which woman is willing to have a child for a fool?"

"What if there is, what if he recovers outside, what if Baokang becomes confused? His family has a hysteria."

"Uh, it's not impossible."

"Go and have a look after eating?" "Well, go and have a look!" "Yes, by the way, let's see what the quack looks like!"

A few people thought about starting to eat their own food quickly. After all, no matter how old a person is, it is impossible for a person in his 50s to be like a young man. At least in a remote village like Xihe Village, this kind of thing is unimaginable.

Of course, compared to Yi Shuyuan, A Fei, a warrior in the rivers and lakes, is also very interesting to the villagers.
-
At the entrance of the main room in Yi’s courtyard, where it can bask in the sun and keep out the wind, Yi Shuyuan is sitting on a small stool, holding a pottery bowl filled with porridge and a small amount of dried radish in his hand. While eating, he extends his gaze from the courtyard Look out of the courtyard.

A woman in a jacket and skirt with her hair in a bun was washing clothes by the well in the courtyard. This was the daughter-in-law of her nephew Yi Yong'an.

Yi Shuyuan's eyes skipped over the woman and then looked at other places. There are several low houses, earthen walls and thatched-roofed gates. There is residual snow on the roofs of the houses and in the courtyard, and the sight extends outwards. , the surrounding houses are similar in style either far or near.

Looking up through the courtyard gate, the plains are covered with snow, and the nearby mountains are covered with plains, but you can't see any tall buildings, and it's hard to see any accessible avenues, let alone any telegraph poles.

Of course, those villagers who either pretended to be passing by, or lay down on the door to see it, could not be ignored.

Ah Fei, who had something on his mind, was standing next to Yi Shuyuan with a pottery bowl in his hand, unconsciously following Yi Shuyuan's line of sight from time to time.

However, Yi Shuyuan's sight also narrowed as the courtyard door closed.

At this moment, Yi Baokang has closed the gate of the courtyard, otherwise the house will be like being watched as a monkey, with people coming all the time.

There were murmurs and discussions from the villagers outside, and some bold people even realized that Ah Fei was easy to talk and yelled into the yard.

"Hey quack, can you show us some punching and kicking?" "Yes, let's see and see!"

"I heard that if you are good at martial arts, you can jump so high!" "Hahaha"

Yi Shuyuan and A Fei both pretended not to hear this.

"These idler brothers, Mr. Mai, don't be surprised. After a while, everyone will not be so free when the farming is busy."

Yi Baokang came over to apologize, and Ah Fei said hastily with a shy face.

"Don't, Uncle Yi, don't call me that!"

But even though he said that, Ah Fei still felt a little flustered in his heart. Someone called him a hero, thinking so, but he still glanced carefully at Yi Shuyuan.

Yi Shuyuan smiled, Ah Fei's actions are all in his eyes, I don't know how little you are thinking?But Yi Shuyuan didn't expose it either.

Yi Baokang patted the dust off his body, and went to the kitchen to serve porridge. Over there, his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhao, was talking with her son. There seemed to be a slight quarrel, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

The walls of Yi's courtyard are a little higher, and as soon as the door is closed, there will be fewer people coming, at least not much noise.

A Fei finished his porridge, stood there for a while, and spoke hesitantly after some mental struggle.

"Senior, I want to go home."

Yi Shuyuan turned to look at him with a slightly surprised expression. For a while, he had gotten used to A Fei being by his side, but soon he understood A Fei's words very well, and his face showed relief.

"It's time for you to go back. Remember to reconcile with your father. It can be heard from your words that he still cares about you."

"Um"

"when are we leaving?"

A Fei lowered his head slightly.

"today."

Yi Shuyuan nodded, he couldn't say anything, he just ate all the porridge in the bowl, there is always a banquet in the world, not to mention that he and A Fei are people from two worlds.

"senior!"

A Fei's voice became louder, and Yi Shuyuan looked at him, only to see A Fei put down his bowl and chopsticks and came to the courtyard, knelt down to Yi Shuyuan with his hands clasped together.

"Senior saved my life and passed on my thoughts. I, Mai Lingfei, are the reborn parents. I, Mai Lingfei, will never forget this great kindness. I will try my best to repay it in the future! If this life is not enough, then it will be in the next life. For the rest of my life, senior, please accept my respect from Mai Lingfei!"

After saying this excitedly, Ah Fei bowed down and kowtowed three times on the ground.

This time, Yi Shuyuan just stood up, but he didn't go to help A Fei. He just received the big gift from the other party, which made A Fei feel better.

Mrs. Li, who was doing laundry in the courtyard, stopped, and several people from the kitchen also poked their heads out.

A Fei raised his head and walked towards the gate of the courtyard. After opening the door, he glanced back at Yi Shuyuan in the courtyard, and then stepped out with one step, raising his inner energy and speaking to the village.

"Folks of Xihe Village, if you want to see martial arts, then I will show you—"

This is not only to satisfy the curiosity of others, but also to temporarily indulge oneself, and it is to show one's own achievements to the seniors.

The next moment, A Fei leaped up lightly, and a figure like a butterfly or a bird, through the haystacks of the house, used his fists to fly away in the air with ease.

"Flying body - stepping on swallows - chasing the moon -"

The roar of fists is like thunder, and the vigor is like a strong wind. It lifts up the snow on the roofs of many houses, and the places it passes are like flying swallows carrying fine snow, and it falls continuously.

I also saw that the villagers in Xihe Village opened their eyes wide and opened their mouths wide!

Ah Fei's voice echoed, and the person had already gone away.
Yi Shuyuan looked into the distance, feeling relieved in a complicated heart, what Ah Fei had grown up was not only martial arts!
