Fundamentals of Catching Immortals

Chapter 87
Ah Xu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked again: "Then what's going on? We passed by the entrance of the village just now, didn't the words 'Yunxi Village' be clearly written on it?" As she spoke, she turned her head and looked at the place where she came from just now. : "Besides, didn't that aunt just keep saying that she knew Feng Niang?"

Speaking of this, Axu discovered something again, she clapped her hands, and her voice became slightly louder: "Oh, that's not right, the aunt just said that Feng Niang married into the old Zhou's family, but she didn't say that the boss of the Zhou family went to war .”

She thought for a while, then raised her head and looked at He Shishi hesitantly: "Ahe, do you think there is something wrong with it?"

He Shishi slightly squinted his eyes, but didn't say anything.He shook his sleeves, counted with his fingers, and then looked up at the moon: "Go in that direction."

Axu quickly grabbed He Shiyi's sleeves again, and followed He Shishi in small steps.

It is obvious that the general has walked the path many times, and the surrounding scenery has been seen several times, but for some reason, A Xu followed He Shiyi, but he really found the direction to the west of the village.

After the faint mist dissipated, at the end of the road was a seemingly inconspicuous small courtyard.The yard was lit, and like any other ordinary farmhouse, the smoke rose from the chimney, and the aroma of rice wafted out.

Axu couldn't help moving his nose, feeling a little more relaxed.She tugged on He Shiyi's sleeve: "Ahe, is this the old Zhou's house?"

Crane nodded at eleven.

Axu licked his lower lip, and walked over in small steps.

There are three bluestone huts, and there are two large water tanks in the yard.A plump hen proudly leads a string of fluffy chicks around the water tank in a figure-eight pattern.On another open space in the yard, a small piece of land was reclaimed. In the field, there was a shelf made of bamboo poles. The loofah vines on the shelf were tightly wrapped around, and a few young loofahs shyly hid among the leaves.

A room in the middle is lit with a dim yellow oil lamp, although it is not too bright, it makes people feel warm when looking at it.

At this moment, a woman came out from the room on the west. She was dressed in crimson cloth, brand new, with a wooden hairpin on her head, holding a plate of hot fried bean sprouts in her hand, and was facing her face. Go into the main room facing south.

"Sister?" A Xu tentatively opened his mouth.

Sure enough, the woman stopped in her tracks and turned to look at A Xu.

Under the bright moonlight, the woman's gentle face was revealed.Her eyes are not big, but she seems to be gentler than others. She has a small warm red mouth, and when she smiles, there is a dimple on the corner of her lips.

"Are you looking for...?" The woman said, her voice was like water, with a soft local accent.

Axu laughed, and the fear in his heart was swept away.She imitated ordinary people and bowed to the woman: "We are foreigners. We happened to see a village here when it was dark. We didn't want to sleep in the wilderness, so we came here to ask with the cheek."

Seeing that Ah Xu's words are sincere, the woman is no longer wary.She was holding the freshly cooked dish in her hand, which seemed a little hot.

She smiled apologetically at A Xu and said, "Miss, I'm sorry, I'll come out to talk to you after I put down the vegetables in my hand." After she finished speaking, she hurried into the room, and after a while, she saw her squeezing her hands together. Patting his earlobe to cool down, he walked over and opened the gate of the fence: "Come in and talk, both of you."

Axu tugged on Lahe Shiyi's sleeve, and the two entered the yard smoothly.

"Our place is called Yunxi Village, and the stream at the entrance of the village is Yunxi. There are no official roads around here. Where are you two going? Why did you pass by our village?"
