At night, the sky is filled with stars.
The Zhou family courtyard.
Xiaohuan sat cross-legged in the middle of the small courtyard and counted the coins with great interest, his face full of happiness.
She is now rich too!
"One penny, two penny~"
After counting, the girl solemnly put the copper coins into the belt around her waist and hid them. Finally, she patted them and confirmed that they were put in, then she held her head in both hands and looked up at the sky.
The black night sky was like a huge canvas dotted with countless white and pale yellow stars, which shone faintly as if winking at her. There is also an outline of the Milky Way, which stretches across the sky like a cosmic river, flowing with sparkling stardust.
When the breeze blows gently through the treetops, it brings a gentle rustling of leaves. Although he is now a prisoner, Xiaohuan feels that it is good to stay here.
Since they were adopted by their grandfather, they have always lived in the open air. They rarely have a hot and delicious meal, a quilt to cover them at night, and a house to protect them from the wind and rain.
Moreover, she actually had a large bedroom to herself, where she could grow flowers, grass, and place various things and furniture.
The most important thing is that when her grandfather goes out to teach, she is not restricted and can wander around the village. And today, like those villagers, I went to the pig farm to help feed the pigs and got paid.
She can earn a full fifty taels of silver in one day. If there are one hundred days in a month, wouldn't she be able to earn a huge sum of five taels of silver in a month?
This is too good.
And there was one thing that was particularly strange. Logically speaking, in this wilderness, there should be a lot of insects, ants and mosquitoes in the yard, but she had never seen one in the village. No matter where the sanitation problem was solved, it would not be ignored. Bug bites.
Is this the Feng Shui treasure my grandpa mentioned?
"Squeak~"
The courtyard door was pushed open.
Zhou Xian put his hands behind his back and Shi Shiran came in, looking like a master.
Xiaohuan took a closer look and felt a little strange: "Grandpa, why is your face swollen? Did those vixen students hit you? I told you before, don't believe what Baguio said. The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie."
You can be beaten casually, or you can be punished corporally if you don't finish your homework. You are a fairy, will you obey me? Are you okay now? Were you beaten? "
After complaining a few words, Xiaohuan went back to the house to get ointment.
Traveling around the world cheating for food and drink, Yiyi Xian has rich experience in being beaten, and she naturally also has rich experience in healing injuries.
"Oh, yes, be gentle!" Zhou Xian sat on the stone bench and bared his teeth, but still said harshly: "The main reason is that those vixens are too stupid, which made my mouth dry, so I drank too much water today. So there is some edema on the face, it will be fine in a few days.”
Zhou Xiaohuan: .....
Ghost King:......
Little yellow cat: .....
After dressing the wound for a long time, Zhou Yixian frowned and was puzzled.
Although his fortune-telling skills are usually not very reliable, they are not so unreliable. In the past, it seemed that the ghost king must have lost his wife and daughter. Why has it changed now?
The key point is that his life has changed to a point that is beyond his comprehension. His wife is rich and glorious, his daughter is indescribably noble, and the dragon and the phoenix are auspicious.
He can still understand if it is a small change in destiny, and he can do it with his own means, but with such a drastic change, does the law of heaven not care? Isn't this completely interfering with the fate of reincarnation, and even messing with the rules?
Outrageous!
"Xiaohuan, bring out a jug of monkey wine from my grandpa's room that I bought recently in Hujia Village!" Zhou Yixian said sadly.
This world is so big, there are countless strange people and strange things. After all, he is just a mortal now. There are too many things that he doesn't understand and there is no use worrying about them.
Why not have a glass of wine and a plate of peanuts and enjoy this short life?
As long as you have wine, all those sorrows and sorrows will not be able to catch up with you!
"Here, drink less!" Xiaohuan came out and said with a cold face.
Monkey wine in Hujiacun
It tastes unique and has the effect of nourishing the body. Although she knows that drinking alcohol is not good for the body, she can't object to her grandfather. Besides, this old man received a beating at the first sight, so he might as well take a nap to relax.
"Hahaha, at such a young age, why are you so serious? Smile, it will look good!"
Zhou Yixian laughed loudly and pinched his granddaughter's cheek. Then he looked up at the starry sky, stretched out his hands and clasped his hands, and couldn't help but recite: "Visiting the ancient gardens, picking up the fragrance, smiling at the fragrant grass adding new makeup. On the windy road, I invited writers and pen pals to write thousands of poems, play chess, calligraphy and painting, and drank thousands of drinks. Pot, let’s watch the green willows and the evening stars.”
"Good poetry, good wine!"
With that said, Zhou Yixian opened the wine bottle, his originally happy and excited face froze, and then he turned the wine bottle over and poured it down, shaking the wine bottle continuously.
Not a drop of wine left!
The old man was dumbfounded.
"Who stole my wine! Ah! Is it easy for me to earn some money to buy wine when I'm old? That's too much, woo woo!"
Zhou Yixian was so angry at this meeting that he cried for his father and mother. Who actually stole the wine that he had to work hard for half a month as a teacher to buy a bottle of wine? He is already over a hundred years old!
This is too immoral!
"Meow~" The little yellow cat jumped on Xiaohuan's shoulder and grinned.
Well now, grief has caught up with him!
Xiaohuan quickly held her breath. Although she knew there was something wrong with this, she still wanted to laugh.
.....
winter solstice.
The wind is freezing, but there is still a constant flow of traffic outside Hujia Village.
Pigs are okay, but rabbits reproduce very quickly and eat a lot. If they are not brought in early, most people will not be able to raise them. Moreover, heavy snow will soon close the mountains. If the villagers bring their things early and buy some grain and salt to store, they can have a good New Year.

Xiao Yicai stood outside the village, looking at the village. He was dressed in commoner clothes, with a simple and honest face, and he was holding a huge wild boar.
After standing for a while and asking for news from passing villagers, Xiao Yicai felt much better.
These villagers were completely different from other places. They were busy and could not stop for a step. They were even in the mood to talk to him about interesting things in the village. For example, the most interesting thing is undoubtedly the bully in the village: the little yellow cat. He often fights in the streets and alleys with the granddaughter of the new accountant in the village. His clothes and hair fly everywhere, which is very fierce.
Both sides even called for reinforcements, one called a group of foxes and the other called a group of dogs.
So harmonious, it seems that the practitioner who appears here is not a demon as the intelligence said.
That's good!
He is the proud disciple of Daoxuan Zhenren, the head of the Qingyun Sect, and a disciple of the Tongtian Peak of the Qingyun Sect. Because of his superb immortal magic and Taoism, he is far ahead of his fellow disciples. He also won the championship in the 19th Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition, known as The first disciple of Qingyun Sect.
As the leader of the righteous path in the world, Qingyun Sect has many great businessmen under its name, many of whom are relatives of great practitioners on the mountain. They do not know how to practice, and they have many inconveniences when eating in the mountains and drinking dew. Most of them enjoy happiness in the world.
As the eldest disciple, he has gradually begun to take care of the affairs of the sect, the most important of which is intelligence. As a righteous person, of course the most important thing is the information about the devil.
According to the news, there are currently many places where demons appear, and two of them are the most arrogant. One is the Hujia Village, where there are ghost guards from the Demon King Sect, as well as demons who are suspected of being vixens.
The second one is Nakhon Sang Mountain. Recently, a large number of vampire bats have appeared, sucking the blood of human beings and animals, which is extremely cruel. Moreover, it was the place where demons from the Demon Cult gathered eight hundred years ago, and it was a very dangerous place.
The key is that there are many caves in it, and there are all kinds of secret passages. Even if the righteous path knows that there are monsters there, it is difficult to destroy them.
The right path is also difficult!
Shaking his head, Xiao Yicai slowly approached Hujiacun with the wild boar.
Different from what the businessman said about pressing forward step by step and step by step, there is a tranquility and peace here that has never been seen in other places. Many people even weigh money in their hands without fear of others finding out.
The rule of not exposing one’s wealth is gone?
Unreasonable! Even if people don't dare to touch you in Hujia Village, why don't they dare to follow you and do something outside the village?
Can't figure it out.
Following the flow of people, he came to a fixed queue outside the village. On the way, his pig was touched several times by many people, and he squealed wildly.
"Hey, I haven't received a big pig for a long time. Yours looks like it weighs a hundred pounds. I'll give you four thirty-jin pigs for four taels of silver. Can you sell them?" the Ghost King said with a smile.
I don’t know what’s going on, but these days my wife is suddenly as crazy as a tiger, and she doesn’t want to rest day and night. He is gradually getting tired of it, and now he suddenly finds that being a cashier and collecting pigs is quite good.
At least you won’t have back pain!
Xiao Yicai's expression tightened, and he immediately knew that there was something wrong with his search for information this time, but at this time, it was even more difficult to expose the truth.
"Hehe, okay, thank you Accountant Hu."
The Ghost King nodded, not caring at all about this person's special origin or reason. He took out a piece of silver from the basket on the side, and then took out a pair of small scissors, slowly cut off the silver and weighed it.
This way you can work slower and get off work slower.
Xiao Yicai was a little confused. The intelligence clearly stated that Hujia Village was very wealthy and gave money freely, so before he came, he caught a pig and prepared a good meal tonight. Why did he pick at Soso when he came here today?
Has his identity been discovered?
Xiao Yicai's heart tightened. What an intelligence officer fears most is having his identity discovered, because at that time, in order to find out the situation, he would probably go deep into the devil's cave, surrounded by enemies.
There is no place to run, so how can we play?
For a long time, the top disciple of Qingyun Sect has been worried, even preparing to use the last resort to leave a last message to the teachers: Don't send the big wild boar!
The silver was finally cut.
The Ghost King was somewhat proud, and put his hand into the hand of the honest young man in front of him: "It's not bad at all! You can go back and weigh it yourself. If it's even slightly off, I'll pay you ten times the compensation."
Xiao Yicai:? ? ?
What's the point of being proud of just cutting a piece of silver? I almost finished writing my suicide note! And, to be honest, my grandma can cut hair faster than him!
After a moment of silence, Xiao Yicai resisted the urge to hit someone. But don't let the small lose the big. The most important thing at the moment is to find out the purpose of raising pigs in Hujia Village, as well as the origin of the rice and salt.
A small leak will sink a great ship!
…
At night, a man in black quietly walked out of the inn and slowly explored the village.
Sometimes the fox walked by him casually without even noticing. Obviously, the clothes Xiao Yicai was wearing were robes specially used for spying. They had the miraculous effect of concealing his aura and body shape.
This is the foundation of the largest sect of righteousness.
Moreover, he also has the talisman of the Five Elements Escape Technique on his body. No matter what situation he encounters, as long as he reacts quickly, he can instantly escape dozens of miles away.
In such a situation, what else does he have to fear?
Passing by a small courtyard, it was brightly lit, and a cute little girl was looking expectantly at the food on the table: a fresh grilled fish.
Baguio, the usually dignified and reserved young lady of the Hu family, swallowed and touched her heart.
"Suck! No, I can't eat anymore. Stinky Lele said that he has gained a lot of weight now. The last time he took a shower, he almost vomited out his dinner. If he keeps going like this, he will turn into a fat pig sooner or later.
I won’t have to be laughed to death by Lele from now on!
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
However, if the fish is already cooked, wouldn’t it be a waste if we don’t eat it? As the old saying goes, every grain of fish is hard work. This fish was caught by the tribesmen in the river with great effort. Several foxes were almost dragged into the water by the beaver that appeared out of nowhere.
And I worked so hard to bake this fish!
Well, let God decide! "
After thinking about it, Baguio took out the brocade belt around his waist, took out a copper coin, and expected to throw it into the sky.
"If the coin breaks, I won't eat this fish tonight!"
"Pa~"
The copper coin fell to pieces and even shattered into powder. The breeze blew by, and the powder flew everywhere, blowing dust all over the girl's face.
Baguio:? ? ?
Xiao Yicai quickly pursed his lips, almost unable to hold back his laughter, and then continued to grope along the corner.
The biggest advantage of Hujia Village may be that the roads are relatively good and the planning is neat and clean. He will not suddenly encounter any obstacles or cause any disturbance just because he is not familiar with the road.
The journey was extremely smooth. Apart from some foxes and normal guards, he didn't even find any traces of magic circles, curses or ghosts.
When he arrived at the entrance of the pig farm, Xiao Yicai breathed a sigh of relief. This arrangement obviously shows one thing, there are indeed practitioners in Hujia Village, otherwise they would not be able to keep so much rice and money, but it also shows that they are open-minded and not afraid of the righteous way to investigate.
Even standing here, he felt that there was no need to go in.
But a person who travels a hundred miles is only half a mile, as the saying goes, even if he comes here, if he doesn’t take a look or record some videos, he won’t be able to explain it to the teacher when he goes back.
In addition, it is also possible that the Hujia Village has set up an empty city plan, and there may be some unimaginable and terrifying arrangement in it.
As soon as his figure moved, Xiao Yicai suddenly stopped.
"Meow~"
Under the starlight, a little yellow cat was shining golden, and its blue eyes were looking at him curiously.
Xiao Yicai felt relieved.
He had heard on the way here today that this cat could only get along with a six- or seven-year-old girl. And who is he? The chief disciple of the Qingyun Sect, the largest sect in the upright way, and a master with the highest cultivation level among the younger generation.
With his current means, there are countless ways to deal with this kitten, but the kitten is helpless and cannot even make any resistance.
This is strength!
No big deal!
Making a secret with his left hand and mobilizing his magic power with his right hand, Xiao Yicai was ready to use both methods to use all his strength.
This is also the key to his successful survival until now: stability!
Little kitten, you can catch me at your wits' end!
"Shua~"
"ah!"
…
