Refining Demon Tutuo

Chapter 26, Sheltering from the Rain

There was no ferry boat at the ferry crossing, and the river was soaring at this time, how could it be passed?
In the torrential rain, the river swirls and rushes away with all kinds of things. The roaring sound makes the earth tremble.He Yuan was still some distance away from the river, but he was still overwhelmed by the torrent, and felt his feet go weak.Standing in front of the wonders of nature, you can understand that human beings are so small, and you can't help but marvel at the mighty power of heaven and earth.

A hoarse cry woke up He Yuan who was absent-minded. "There are houses ahead! Come on everyone, go forward!"

Drenched in the rain and had no time to think about it, the people around followed the shouter, and finally saw in the rain that there were several houses leaning against the woods not far from the intersection, and a group of people rushed over.

After approaching, everyone secretly complained.The buildings here are not houses, they can only be called straw sheds.It is estimated that it is for passers-by to rest their feet while waiting for the ferry.The thatched shed has been in disrepair for a long time, but the sunshade is okay, is it a shelter from the wind and rain, hehe.

A group of people rushed into the straw shed to take shelter from the rain, but fortunately, the place inside was quite spacious.The servants and guards were busy tying the horses. Animals were important supplies.The carriage was fixed around the shed, at least to keep out the wind and rain, and someone else collected thatch and firewood, trying to light a few bonfires.The maids surrounded a place with coir raincoats and straw mats, separated from the family servants, so that it was convenient for Liu Shaopei and the female relatives to warm up and rest.A group of people had a good meal in the hut in the house.With great difficulty, the fire was lit and warmed up, and all the people who had settled down took a breath of breath.

The housekeeper ran to ask Liu Shaopei for his opinion, and Liu Shaopei reluctantly agreed to stay overnight.The butler comforted his subordinates and told them to have a good rest by the fire.

A group of people started drying clothes around the fire.He Yuan, the housekeeper, and several nurses used a bonfire.A group of gentlemen didn't pay much attention, and He Yuan also took off his clothes with others, and used various methods to support and dry them. After a while, some strange smells spread.At this time, you can't be particular about it, because it is easy to get sick if you wear wet clothes on your body.

After filling the firewood twice, it was almost done, and the clothes were almost dry.Someone has already taken out dry food and prepared it.Roast on fire and start eating.

Everyone was comfortable and had something to eat, so they calmed down and talked while eating.He Yuan looked at the thatched hut where he was sheltering, it was already very dilapidated, and many places were still leaking.

A nursing home suddenly exclaimed: "There is a person here." Everyone looked over by the light of the fire, and it turned out to be a beggar sleeping curled up in a corner.Everyone came in a hurry, but they didn't realize until now.Butler Liu stretched out his head to look, and said, "Don't worry about him, he's all here to shelter from the rain."

After eating, everyone brought dry food, dried meat, and pickled vegetables, sitting around the fire.He Yuan breathed a sigh of relief slowly, and took out the gourd, there was still a lot of wine in it.After roasting by the fire for a while, the aroma of wine came out from the mouth of the gourd.The beggar probably smelled the aroma of wine, turned over and sat up, looking here.

He Yuan heard the movement and followed the prestige to look over.This is a beggar in his twenties with a big face.With ragged clothes on his body, seeing his Adam's apple swelled, he was obviously hungry for alcohol.He Yuan smiled, and said to the beggar: "At the same time, Tianya is a destitute person. If brother is willing to drink, I will share some with you."

When the beggar heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Good! Good! Thank you, Master, for your kindness." After saying that, he turned around, and he also took out a gourd from behind.Shaking the gourd, it was empty.The beggar approached carefully, and as soon as he moved, He Yuan found that this man was tall, not as thin as ordinary beggars.

Picking up his own gourd, he poured most of the heated wine into the beggar's gourd.And distributed some to the surrounding housekeepers and guards.

The beggar was not polite, picked up the gourd and drank it "Gudu-gudu--" and said while drinking, "Well, this rice wine needs to be warmed to taste. Although it is not a famous wine, it can be said to be a fine wine .”

Seeing that the beggar had good wine, He Yuan was very interesting: "I'm just kidding, I don't know much about wine. When I go out, there are still those things." The beggar drank the wine and said, "Thank you, Master, for the good wine. " He Yuan didn't take it seriously: "Okay, okay." Someone next to him sneered, but the beggar didn't care, and went back to sleep with the gourd in his hand.

After resting for a while, many people became sleepy.He Yuan heard the sound of feet stepping on the muddy ground outside the thatched shed, and obviously several people came over.

After a while, the three of them walked out of the shed holding their umbrellas.After entering the hut, everyone cast their gazes over. Are they three monks or three nuns?
After entering Penglai, she put away her umbrella, and the leading middle-aged nun saluted everyone present: "All benefactors, please excuse me. The three of us, master and apprentice, have come here to take shelter from the rain."

"Master?!" It was the second young lady who shouted.

The middle-aged nun was taken aback for a moment, looked up, and couldn't help smiling when she saw her apprentice: "So it's you, little girl. It's really a coincidence that we can meet here." Then The second lady came over to say hello affectionately, and led the three of them, master and apprentice, to her father's place.

Liu Shaopei changed from his usual exquisite appearance, and only politely greeted his daughter's master and two senior sisters.He Yuan seemed to see a bit of impatience and displeasure on his face.

At this time, the second lady turned her eyes away.That glance was clear, with a hint of contempt, which probably meant that my backer was here.

Of course He Yuan didn't care about it, and slowly drank the wine in the gourd.

The three masters and apprentices didn't talk much with other people. Instead, the second young lady was lovingly chatting beside her master.

Seeing the middle-aged nun cast her eyes on him, He Yuan knew that he must be talking about himself, and there was probably nothing good to say.

The middle-aged nun saw He Yuan's gaze, and saluted him from the air.Seeing the gesture, He Yuan also returned the gift in the air, and there was no further communication.

After the housekeeper ran to arrange the master and apprentice, he also sat back to rest.He Yuan curiously went to inquire, moved to the side of the housekeeper, and quietly inquired about the origin of the middle-aged nun.

But the housekeeper seemed to have something to hide, looked around and whispered quietly: "The nun is the teacher of the second lady. She was originally a wandering nun, and later she settled down near the central capital and accepted the second lady as her teacher. He is a disciple. I heard that he has high martial arts skills, and he is a person with a lot of history."

"How come I don't seem to like Master Liu very much?"

"I can't like it. Their method of recruiting apprentices is too annoying. Second Miss was forced to go by her master." The butler's voice became softer.

"Hold it? Isn't that robbing?" He Yuan couldn't believe it.
