Shen Zui looked at the palm of his hand. Yi Ren had just written the three words "Zui Chang'an" with her fingers without leaving any trace.
He had a slight smile on his lips and his eyes were filled with mist.
It seemed that since he met the woman in front of him, he was intoxicated. It turned out that the genius monk of the Immortality Sect seemed to have completely changed.
Become cheerful, become humane, become worldly.
This worldliness is not a derogatory meaning, but a life in which one can truly start to enjoy this worldly life.
He never understood love until he met her for the first time, and then got to know, know, and fall in love with her.
In just two months, compared to the previous more than 20 years, it is not boring at all. On the contrary, if Shen Zui had the choice, he would rather spend another twenty years in exchange for two months with Mu Wan'er.
In the past, if someone from the sect asked him, what did he want most?
Shen Zui definitely blurted out without thinking, "The immortal path reaches the top!"
But now, he doesn't care much about immortality or martial arts. As long as he can stay with the woman next to him for a long time, he will be happy despite all the difficulties and dangers.
Suddenly, there was a slight pain in the drunken head.
"What are you thinking about? Are you so absorbed?"
Wan'er came close to him and said, "Go to bed early tonight. If you can, help Granny Chen with some work tomorrow, and then go to Carpenter Li's place. I will go to find a suitable house nearby."
Shenzui agreed and then wrote a few words in Wan'er's hand.
"Like a spring breeze."
Mu Wan'er lowered her head and smiled, her eyebrows curved.
The next morning, Mu Wan'er got up early, first prepared lunch for Granny Chen and Shen Zui, and then left the house.
She silently told herself that she must find a suitable house today and tomorrow.
She had lived with Shen Zui in this small village called "Candlelight Village" for dozens of days. She had spoken to almost everyone in the village, and she had a general understanding of each family's situation.
So she would definitely not speak to people from poor families. Maybe the whole family is crowded into a small room, and there is no extra room for you.
So she went directly to Li Er's house and Zhou's house in the village.
Li Er is a dark-skinned man, young, probably in his twenties, with thin arms and legs. He is not good at anything and spends all day doing nothing.
If it weren't for the fact that there was still some property at home and my parents were in charge of it, I would have been at the end of my rope and begging on the streets.
But such people are very interested in carpentry.
As long as there was a carpenter in the village to do the work, he could squat nearby and watch all afternoon without eating or drinking.
As I grew up, it became more and more intense. He also knew that the most famous carpenter in the area was the Li family carpenter, so he followed him everywhere like a man possessed.
Even Carpenter Li was invited hundreds of miles away to make furniture for local officials.
Li Er didn't say anything. He simply packed up his baggage and left as soon as he asked. He followed him all the way, just to see Carpenter Li's skills in cutting down trees, making holes, slotting, and making mortise and tenon joints.
People say that with his tenacity, if he focused on making money, coupled with his family's original foundation, he might be able to buy the entire village at this time.
But he usually doesn't care what others say, he just wants to see carpentry.
So this time Mu Wan'er and Shen Zui were going to build a new house, so he naturally returned to the village and stayed in the woods every day.
Many times when Mu Wan'er went to deliver food, he also praised the delicious food many times. This is one of the few times the two of them meet.
Li Er's house is a quite large manor, surrounded by a large circle of mud and bamboo. There is also a courtyard with two entrances. I think there are at least seven or eight rooms in the house.
Mu Wan'er knew that there were only three people in his family, his father, mother and Li Er, so it would be a good idea if he could borrow a quiet house here.
So she took two deep breaths, lifted up her skirt, stepped forward quickly, and pulled up the copper ring on the wooden door.
The two sounds of "dangdang" seemed quite out of place with the surroundings.
Not long after, the door opened. It was an old man in his fifties, wearing a felt hat and a fox fur vest with dark blue satin underneath.
"Girl, who are you looking for?", the old man asked first.
Mu Wan'er took two steps back, first gave a blessing, and then stood up and replied: "Old man, I take the liberty of disturbing you. I am Mu Wan'er who is temporarily staying with Granny Chen in this village. Recently, because my companion needs to rest for a while, I The house has not been built yet, so I would like to borrow your spare room first.
Don't worry, we are all well-behaved people. We will pay back the rent according to the example, and it will take up to three days. You can see it? "
The old man Hu Qiu looked at the girl in front of him, lowered his head and thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "You are the little girl from Grandma Chen's family. Is it you who came with you...?"
"It's my companion."
In fact, Mu Wan'er really wanted to talk about her boyfriend, but this was not the case in this era.
This world pays attention to the bullshit principles of women's three obediences and four virtues, so she can't say what the relationship between the two is like. Therefore, he could only use his companion's ambiguous answer to excuse him.
Old Man Huqiu didn't ask any more questions, "My boy told me about you, saying that a pretty girl came to the village recently. This is the first time that he mentioned a girl from outside to me and his mother. ."
Mu Wan'er looked a little embarrassed, but for the sake of intoxication, she would not give up even if there was a little hope, not to mention that others did not explicitly refuse.
The old man pushed open the two doors and turned sideways, "Miss Mu, come in and have a cup of tea. It's just me and Li Er's mother at home."
"No, Uncle Li, I won't go in and disturb you. I wonder if you can agree to what just happened?"
"Well, old man, I have to ask my family. Don't look at the "Li family" hanging on the door, but they all thrived on the dowry brought by Li Er's mother, so... "
"Okay, then you can discuss it with aunt first, and I'll come back tomorrow."
After Mu Wan'er finished speaking, she was ready to leave.
"There's no rush, and there's nothing to say, so why bother running back and forth? Old man, I'm going to ask, it's cold outside, is it true that Miss Mu doesn't want to come in and sit down?"
Mu Wan'er smiled and shook her head, declining Mr. Li's invitation.
The old man didn't say much, just left the door open, turned around and walked down the steps, walked past the not-so-fine earthen screen wall, and went to the back.
Probably not long after, Mu Wan'er, who was standing outside the threshold and looking around at the scenery, heard a quarrel behind her, including the sound of broken porcelain.
Originally, Mu Wan'er didn't want to eavesdrop, but the noise became louder and louder, and she couldn't even listen if she didn't want to.
"Go and tell that shameless fox Meizi that you slept in the same room with that man at Grandma Chen's house all day long, and you didn't even know what shameful things you did.
He also carried food boxes all day long, wandering around the fields and in front of the folks in the countryside. Damn, you are a shameless woman, and I don’t know what my Erlang likes about her. "
The woman who spoke sounded like she was quite old. She must be the real person in charge of the "Li family". Li Er's mother was married.
"Please keep your voice down. I think this girl is quite nice. She has a decent appearance, a good temper, and good manners. She is not as bad as you said."
This was the voice of the old man in fur just now, Li Er's father.
"I'm telling you, you are a bad old man, you dare to point fingers. Tell you, as long as I am here, our son will never have any contact with her.
You go and drive that shameless person away now, I can’t afford to embarrass this person! "
Mu Wan'er's eyes were filled with tears, and she heard faint footsteps in her ears.
