In a clean and elegant small courtyard with a fence, the wooden couch on the east side for enjoying the shade is polished and covered with soft cushions, and an ebony tea table is placed in the middle.
The afternoon breeze blew lazily, and the whole village was filled with the refreshing aroma of rice.
"Come, try this tea. It's grown by tea farmers in the village. It's very fragrant."
He Qingyang made tea himself, sat cross-legged on the cushions and greeted the two of them.
Ruan Li and Chu Feng were frightened and said quickly: "Thank you Master, I can just do it by myself."
With that said, Ruan Li, as a junior, first poured a glass for He Qingyang, then a glass for Chu Feng, and finally himself.
He Qing raised his eyebrows and looked at Ruan Li with a smile: "This is not a sect, so there is no need to be so formal. I also want to be quiet when I live here, so you can just treat me as an old man in the village."
When Ruan Li heard this, he couldn't help but look at Chu Feng and could only smile slightly.
Because even if He Qingyang said this, the respect in their hearts would not really be abandoned.
He Qingyang looked at King Ming who was still flapping and calling in the courtyard, and said with emotion: "You have raised this spiritual bird very well."
Ruan Li looked at Prince Ming's heartless look and could only feel helpless.
He is a little fatter, but he doesn't look very smart.
It turns out that this spiritual bird was given to Ruan Li by He Qingyang. The reason why he directly called out Ruan Li's name just now was because He Qingyang recognized King Ming.
"Why did you come to Yuhua Village suddenly?"
Looking away, He Qingyang suddenly asked.
Ruan Li truthfully told the reason, and finally said with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet Master. To be honest, Master, I didn't know you lived in this village before."
The head didn't say anything, and neither did the master.
He Qingyang also smiled: "It's not that you don't know that I live in this village, but you haven't even heard of my name, right?"
After saying it clearly, Ruan Li nodded with embarrassment.
"It's okay. I've lived here for hundreds of years, and I haven't been to the mountain for decades. It makes sense that the new disciples of the sect haven't heard of me."
He Qingyang was an open-minded person, so he could live in this village for hundreds of years with a pure heart.
"What do you think of the land next to me?" When the conversation changed, He Qingyang directly gave Ruan Li an idea: "It's quite spacious. It's more than enough to build a small courtyard."
Ruan Li was slightly startled. He raised his eyes and looked to the outside of the courtyard. Sure enough, there was an empty, flat land.
He Qingyang continued: "This used to be a place where spirit birds were kept in captivity. Later, the village found a large land at the foot of the back mountain and moved all the spirit birds there, so the land became empty. Out."
"This place is very good, but I'm afraid that my younger brothers and sisters are young and at the age where they are naughty and mischievous. They might disturb Master Qingxiu on weekdays."
Ruan Li was not polite. His younger brothers and sisters had not been quiet since they were young. When they were in the countryside, they would run around outside all day long.
Unexpectedly, He Qingyang burst out laughing when he heard this: "That's great, I just like children."
As soon as he finished speaking, sparse footsteps could be heard outside the courtyard, accompanied by chaotic chatter and laughter, gradually coming towards their direction.
As soon as a few people raised their eyes, the group of people had already arrived outside the courtyard.
It wasn't anyone else, but Deacon Mobei.
Mo Bei poked his head inside through the fence, saw the person on the wooden couch and said quickly: "Uncle Master, this disciple is here to see you."
After saying that, he saw Ruan Li and Chu Feng were also there, and he couldn't help but be startled: "Girl, why did you come to the village?"
Chu Feng got up and opened the door. A dozen people came in, all coming to build a yard for Ruan Li's house.
The group of people saluted He Qingyang in unison.
"Stop making such a fuss, I've already heard what A Li said about these things." He Qingyang waved his hand, then pointed at the empty tunnel and said: "Just build it here, make it more spacious, fill in a separate courtyard behind it, and then go Two weeping willows were moved from the mountain and planted in front of the door."
Mo Bei stared slightly as he looked at it, thinking to his mind, is it next to the uncle's yard?
What a great place!
Ruan Li also hurriedly saluted and thanked all the senior brothers: "Thank you all for your willingness to help!"
One of them asked excitedly: "Junior sister, my uncle said that after building the yard, there will be elixirs as a thank you gift. Is this true?"
"Can I still lie to you?" Mo Bei glared and said angrily.
Ruan Li nodded with a smile: "Of course it's true. Ten elixirs for each person. I will keep my word. I just ask the brothers to build the house firmly and beautifully."
"Junior sister, don't worry!" At this time, a tall senior brother stood up and said proudly: "My ancestors have been masters of ink painting for several generations. I have learned a little bit about it since I was a child. If junior sister likes it, I will plan a plan for your family. How about a two-story loft?”
Ruan Li was slightly moved, but thinking that the whole village was composed of flat courtyards, it would be too abrupt and ostentatious for their family to move in and build a two-story attic halfway through.
So Ruan Li said: "Don't bother the senior brothers to do such tedious work, just like the flat-top courtyard here. The younger brothers and sisters at home are naughty, and my father's legs are also difficult to move. Although the attic is beautiful, it has hidden dangers."
He did not refuse the senior brother directly, but declined with other concerns.
Ruan Li's words made He Qingyang silently appreciate in his heart.
Everyone nodded, and with Ruan Li's affirmative reply, thinking about the ten elixirs, they were very motivated, and swarmed to the open space to start discussing how to plan and build them.
It was already getting late, and Ruan Li did not stay any longer. He only said that he was coming to visit He Qingyang when he brought his family back.
At night, Senior Brother Ruan Li and Chu Feng settled at the inn in Shaoguan County.
In the guest room, Ruan Li was lying on the round table in the room, staring with bright eyes, watching Chu Feng take out a purple Gu insect from the Miao Jiang Gu.
The Gu insect was fleshy, had no eyes, and only had two small tentacles.
"Brother, this insect must be very powerful, right?" Ruan Li asked curiously: "Otherwise you wouldn't put it in the Miao Jiang cup to feed it."
The Miao Jiang Cup was a magic weapon that Chu Feng had just obtained from the master. It had a small capacity and could only keep one insect as big as this in it.
Chu Feng nodded and explained: "This is a stilbene (qi four sounds) insect. When it reaches adulthood, the stilbene insect is very powerful and can cure all poisons in the world."
"So powerful?" Ruan Li was slightly shocked: "Isn't that more effective than many antidote elixirs?"
"Yes, but the detoxification of stilbene is a bit painful. It needs to enter the human body through the wound, and then travel around the human body to detoxify. It will not leave the human body until all the toxins are removed."
"During this period, people who are poisoned can feel the foreign body sensation in the body. As the stilbene detoxifies in different parts, the pain caused by it is also different. Among them, the pain in the fingers, toes and five internal organs is the strongest."
Hearing this, Ruan Li couldn't help shaking his body, and goosebumps instantly appeared on his arms.
Chu Feng smiled and said: "Junior sister is quite courageous. She doesn't seem to be afraid of my bugs."
