Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 26 Funerals
Pulling his thoughts back to his eyes, Pei Ye remembered that he hadn't asked the identity of the person outside the wall.

"This..." Pei Ye hesitated for a moment, and chose the former between "girl" and "senior", "...girl, my name is Pei Ye, how dare I ask your name? I don't know why you came here to serve me , if necessary, I can introduce some adults from the county government for you."

"No need, some private matters." The person outside the wall said, "I'm Ming Qitian, can I ask you some questions?"

Ming Qitian?Who is that?
Pei Ye searched for this strange name in his mind, and the other party said "I am Ming Qitian" instead of "My name is Ming Qitian". This subtle difference seemed to indicate something.

"Please ask."

"Is there any news about a book or a magical martial arts in your place?"

Pei Ye frowned blankly: "I've never heard of it."

"Okay, thank you."

Pei Ye was taken aback for a moment - is this the end?
He couldn't help but remind: "You can tell me more relevant information, maybe I can think of some clues."

The person outside the wall pondered for a while and said, "I don't know more, there is only one, and it can be called 'the method of cultivating immortals in the dantian'."

This unfamiliar term made Pei Ye even more at a loss, so he had no choice but to say again: "I've never heard of it."

"Well, thank you." The man outside the wall said again, "In addition, I accidentally saw your sword style, and I have three things in my hand to make up for it - one is much inferior to your sword style, but it can still be called high-class." A sword of "Yi Shang" cast by the East China Sea Sword Furnace; and a booklet recording my feelings about sword practice when I was young. I don't know which one is more suitable for you?"

Pei Ye was stunned for a while, never thought that hearing about his own sword was such a serious matter - when he was reading miscellaneous books in the public house a few years ago, Shen Changjian occasionally practiced sword in the courtyard, he heard it countless times Woolen cloth.

Maybe it's a rule outside?After all, the skill of housekeeping is really not suitable for people to see.

But then again, listening does not mean seeing, and seeing does not mean learning.The black-robed man last night, even if he showed him ten times in advance, he still didn’t know how to break it. No. 11 times, he could still pierce his throat; and now the man outside the wall can break through his trick since he is separated from the wall. Sword style, no matter how unexpected he is, his move will not be able to achieve the slightest success in front of her.

After thinking over and over again, Pei Ye finally acted according to his own cognition, and said seriously: "Miss Ming, I didn't guard against others when I was practicing swords in the courtyard. You heard it and learned it when you walked on the street. There is no need to give me any compensation. What's more, your words have benefited me a lot."

The man outside the wall pondered for a while, threw a small jade sword into Pei Ye's hand, and said, "This is the best swordsmanship I have seen in the past month. I haven't learned it, but I am also quite inspired. Common sense. Since you don't want to accept the gift now, then take this sword talisman first, and when you think about it, you can inject true energy at any time and use it to contact me."

Just as Pei Ye was about to speak, her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly pushed open the courtyard door, the street was empty.

Somewhat disappointedly, he fiddled with the little sword and walked back, picked up the black cat on the recliner and stroked it, and then lay back on the chair.But at this moment, the cat suddenly turned to look at him.

Those eyes seemed to be lit up, possessing spiritual intelligence, and this charm Pei Ye was quite familiar with, so she couldn't help stopping her hands in embarrassment.

But the black cat didn't care, but turned its eyes to the door, and said to itself: "Tell me, could I be... the wrong person for the contract?"

"?"

"'Youth', 'Sword', 'Clear Mind', 'Perseverance'...all of them fit together."

Pei Ye looked down at it in disbelief. Although he was vigilant in every possible way when the contract was signed, he was equally upset when he heard the other party's dissatisfaction. He couldn't help asking: "I'm also compatible?"

"Of course you are suitable, but just like fluorescent lights can illuminate, so can a bright moon..."

"Well, then you can go find her." Pei Ye twitched the corners of her lips, feeling like she had been abandoned from beginning to end.

"Forget it, marry a chicken as a chicken, and marry a dog as a dog." The black cat looked up at him and said, "I'm leaving."

"Eh wait."

The black cat looked at him.

"What's going on with you? Is the situation still dangerous?" Pei Ye asked.

"It's nothing complicated. Just like you last night, I also have a big enemy to face. Thanks to you, after signing the contract, it has indeed improved a lot. Moreover, it seems that a helper came today." The black cat thought over there. Regarding the matter, he said, "In short, the current situation is not bad. If it gets worse, if there is time before I die, I will take the initiative to ask you to release the contract."

After speaking, the aura in the cat's eyes disappeared again.

"Me too—that's not what I meant." Before he could catch up with this sentence, Pei Ye looked at the kitten who was as quiet as an idiot, packed up his things and went back to the house.

Go to bed early, tomorrow is the day when Uncle Lin and Lin Jue are buried.

……

……

The next day, at the Lin House in the west of the city.

The sun is in the east, and the courtyard is full of white.

Lin Lin has no relatives, but there are many students who have been taught by him and subordinates who have been taken care of by him. People in the courtyard spontaneously come to express their condolences. There are groups of men of different ages and costumes. Babbling and singing.

And Lin Jue has only a handful of friends - a girl of about the same age on the west side of the city, who has been her close friend since childhood; the daughter of Master Huang's family who practices martial arts, every time Lin Jue goes to the martial arts gym, she always says no to her. The words are over; Meng Jiao, the son of a neighboring farmer, had been arguing about marrying Lin Jue, but in the first half of the year, he finally got married with the daughter of a carpenter's family in the north of the city.

The two young girls were sitting with their female relatives. Meng Jiao was alone by the pavilion with his eyes open, wondering what he was thinking.

"Brother Meng." Pei Ye walked over and said, "I seem to be very busy recently, what are you doing?"

"Little Ye." Meng Jiao turned his head. After getting married, he looked more mature and calm, and responded with a smile, "I collected some skins and herbs from the surrounding villages. I only rely on those few acres of land, eat it in a year, and the rest It won't sell for much."

"Isn't that good enough? You can still sell some of the food in other houses."

Meng Jiao shook his head, looked up at the sky with his tanned cheeks, then lowered his head: "Your sister-in-law is pregnant, I think... I want... Let this child study or practice martial arts in the future."

"Hmm..." Pei Ye opened his mouth, "That will cost a lot."

"Yes, my mother and father-in-law are scolding me." Meng Jiao rubbed his feet on the ground and smiled, "But, I won't change my mind."

He looked at the empty space again, subconsciously landed on Lin Jue's boudoir, and said to himself: "I must study and practice martial arts..."

"You run like this every day, don't be too tired."

"It's okay, I borrowed Uncle Lu's one or two donkey carts, and I will use them when he doesn't pull wine, and pay him some money every time-after saving for half a year, I can buy a donkey myself."

"Yo, that seems to be quite profitable?" Pei Ye smiled.

"I've been keeping an eye on it a long time ago. No one will grab this job. Just work harder—hey, what's the point of talking about me all the time? I almost forgot that the young hero that everyone wants to meet is standing in front of me."

Pei Ye smiled and shook his head.

"I heard that even a few adults couldn't deal with that villain, but you cut his neck neatly." Meng Jiao sighed, "It's really amazing, I really admire it from the bottom of my heart."

"Speaking like this...it's just luck."

Meng Jiao shook his head and held Pei Ye's wrist: "I'm telling the truth, Xiao Ye, I really admire you. I saw the head on the coffin lid, so happy, Xiao Ye. Yesterday I heard that Xiao Jue and Master Lin was murdered, and I was angry, scared, panicked... and aggrieved. Do you remember, when I was a child, Xiaojue liked to watch you practice martial arts, and I was always angry with you. Now I understand that people are incapable and cannot hold their heads high. , Xiaoye, you are truly capable."

Pei Ye was speechless, Meng Jiao looked at the sky and said, "Okay, let's not talk anymore. I remember that Xiao Jue made a few very proud gadgets, and joked at the time that he would bring them to the tomb when he died. If you have nothing to do, you might as well go to her room and look for it."

"Yes, there is such a thing." Pei Ye recalled, "But I don't remember which ones—let's go find them together."

"A bamboo birdcage, a small pottery teapot with a black and white puppy painted on it, a thumb-sized topaz seal, and a set of palm-thick story paintings... Just count as many as you can find. It's a sentence. Just kidding." Meng Jiao raised the sack in hand, "I won't go in, it's not suitable, there's still work in the afternoon, so I have to go first."

"So busy?"

"Old Mo from the east village owes me two pieces of leather. He originally said he would bring them to me when he went to the city the day before yesterday, but there has been no news so far. I'll go and see what's going on."

"Oh, okay. Some parts of the mountain road are still not dry, so you must be careful."

"Don't worry, it's the way you're used to." Meng Jiao waved his hands and walked out of the courtyard with a heavy sack on his back.

Pei Ye watched him disappear from sight, sighed silently, turned and walked to Lin Jue's room.

Meng Jiao is indeed sincere and sincere to Lin Jue, but if the two really get married, not only Lin Jue, who is married to a peasant family, will not be able to adapt, but for the Meng family, a daughter-in-law who is disabled and unable to work is not a blessing.
