burn sky fire

Chapter 24: The Village
Cooking smoke curled up continuously, and cocks crowed and dogs barked from time to time, which was an idyllic scene.

The peaceful rural life was broken by a few children yelling, "Someone is coming! A outsider is coming!"

Cang Renshou and the two followed the children, feeling a little helpless as more and more people looked at them.

"Mom! I'm back." One of the children stopped in front of an unremarkable hut and shouted at the occupants.

"Oh." An ordinary woman walked out of the small courtyard, dressed in red, with a vicissitudes of face, looked at the two of them, her expression was painful for a moment, but she recovered quickly, "Dear guest, please come in."

She speaks a common language that is not standard, but it is already rare for rural people.

For rural people, unless there is a sect to recruit disciples, they rarely have the opportunity to go out, and the furthest place most people have been to is the nearby city.

One of the children ran up to hold the woman's hand. It was a boy, also dressed in red.

The other kids followed them in, curious about outsiders.

But they were quickly greeted by their parents, so don't disturb outsiders.

The woman patted the boy on the shoulder, "Go."

Seeing that everyone had left, the woman smiled. There was a table in the hall. She asked the two to sit down, but she didn't sit down. She asked, "Do you want something to eat?"

"Ahem." Jia Chengfeng and Cang Renshou looked at each other, and he was a little embarrassed to ask, "Have you had lunch yet?"

"Rural people eat early, we have already eaten." The woman suggested, "I can cook two bowls of noodles for you, what do you think?"

Although the woman was strange, her attitude towards the two was kind.

"It's troublesome." Jia Chengfeng was actually a little embarrassed, and he added: "We will pay for it."

The woman walked through the hall and came back after a while, holding two bowls of noodles with vegetables and eggs on top, and she put the chopsticks in her hands on the table.

The two thanked each other before eating, the noodles were still hot, Jia Chengfeng was hungry and tired, he didn't care about anything, he blew a few breaths, and put a ball of noodles into his mouth.

Cang Renshou stirred it a few times, and each time it was steaming, she put the chopsticks on the bowl and began to chat with the woman.

This is the Lin Family Village. The woman is named Lin Tianxin. She is a native of the countryside. Her husband is the village head. She lives fairly well and has a son.

"You want to go to Mingguang City?" Envy flashed in Lin Tian's eyes, but she seemed to think of something, and she became worried, "There are bandits near Mingguang City, even our place has been robbed several times, let alone bandits gathering landed."

Jia Chengfeng drank the last sip of soup, and when he heard this, he said to the woman indifferently: "They can't beat us."

"The noodles are almost cold, don't eat yet."

Cang Renshou glanced at Jia Chengfeng, said to Lin Tianxin: "Don't worry.", and then started to eat noodles.

"Actually, this is our first time going to Mingguang City." Jia Chengfeng leaned closer, "Auntie, what do you know?"

Lin Tianxin looked like he was remembering, "I heard some people say that the city lord there is very good, and the tax collection is lower than other places."

They went to Mingguang City once, and it took a month just to go back and forth. Except for a few people, few people would take the time. Lin Tianxin had never been to Mingguang City.

Their village was closer to the city where the two started, so there was no reason to go there.

Lin Tianxin said that she only had the opportunity to go to Pucheng when she was a child, so how did she learn to speak standard Mandarin?
Her speech and behavior are also obviously different from others.

Cang Renshou was very interested in this contradictory woman, but they were in a hurry and left after dinner.

Perhaps, there is time to come again.

It's another half day's journey, and a stepless stable formation can be done with just one thought, so you don't have to worry about bumps and sudden brakes.

This night, the moon and the stars were thin, and Jia Chengfeng, who had been driving for a day, leaned against the tree like a boneless one. The road was not smooth, he was bumping back and forth, and he didn't rest a few times. No wonder he had such a reaction.

The distance between the cities is not too far, but across the mountains, it will take several days to go up and down the mountains.

The two were on their way up the mountain at this time.

Because it is far away from the city, the land is gradually barren and there is no human habitation, so it may be a long time before I want to be treated to a bowl of hot noodles.

After a fire was lit, the two of them gathered around the fire, the night was getting darker, and the chill hit people. Cang Renshou was fine, but Jia Chengfeng, who didn't practice and didn't bring enough clothes, suffered.

He hugged himself and shivered. This was an emergency, and neither of them had expected it before.

Seeing how pitiful Jia Chengfeng was curled up into a ball, Cang Renshou couldn't help but smile, she held his wrist and used her demon power to keep him warm.

"Hiss-ho." Jia Chengfeng couldn't help but uttered a few words with unclear meaning, and then sneezed a few times, rubbing his hands, "Finally came back to life."

Another problem is that both of them haven't eaten yet. Cang Renshou has already reached the third level, and only one meal is enough, while Jia Chengfeng is just a mortal.

There were still some snacks on the carriage, and Cang Renshou asked him to deal with it first. She set up a few formations and got up to hunt.

Although Cang Renshou was naturally ruthless in her strikes, she had never killed an animal, let alone a human.

Exercising the Thousand Spiritual Steps, Cang Renshou stepped on one tree and went to another tree. In just a few seconds, he had already run about ten meters by borrowing strength from left to right.

With excellent eyesight, Cang Life can see clearly even at night.

With her eyes fixed, she rushed down suddenly, and at the same time, threw out a few darts bought at the market earlier.

Although there are small voices, the surrounding area is still too quiet. Jia Chengfeng is not a timid person, but there are too many possibilities in this world, and he is full of anxiety about this world.

This uneasiness stems from his lack of knowledge of the world, and he usually hides it very well, but once his source of peace of mind has gone two at a time, he will panic now.

"Chacha——" Someone walked over on the grass, Jia Chengfeng tensed up, staring at the direction of the sound without blinking,
The visitor came into view, with shoulder-to-shoulder braids, a pair of slightly round red phoenix eyes, a delicate face with a little red between the brows, it was not Cang Renshou.

Seeing her, Jia Chengfeng was relieved all of a sudden, and his eyes shifted to what she was holding.

As he approached, Cang Renshou grabbed two rabbit ears and shook them in front of him.

One big, one small, two, blood still dripping, Jia Chengfeng took it, "Wow, how did you do that."

Cang Renshou took out a few wiped darts from his cuffs like magic, and put them back quickly.

"I can't handle rabbits, how about you?"

Jia Chengfeng scratched his head, "I only raised rabbits when I was a child, and I raised them to death."

The two looked at each other and understood that they were both people who only cared about eating.

Jia Chengfeng felt that at this time, he still had to pick up the responsibility of an adult. He recalled the appearance of roasting rabbits in the TV series, and began to operate while disgusted.

Cang Renshou looked at him working hard, thoughtfully, "By the way, did we bring seasoning?"

In the end, the taste of the roasted rabbit was really not good, so Jia Chengfeng barely managed to fill his stomach.

After solving the problem of eating, it was still early, and bored, Jia Chengfeng took the initiative to chat with Cang Life.

"If I practice the basic skills Yi Wen gave me every day, will I be able to reach the first level?"

Cang Life Insurance replied without thinking: "Yes."

I still remember the video I watched with Dongfang Fengjun Sikongfeng many years ago. There is a story on it:
An ordinary student was criticized as a class without talent, and Jianmen sent him down the mountain to return to his hometown. He was unwilling to be ordinary, and practiced martial arts every day, day and night, regardless of the cynicism of the people around him.

I woke up before dawn and went to bed late at night, and 11 years passed like this.

On this day, You Zi did not believe that he was full of energy and his eyes were piercing.

No one knew his real name, so he changed his name to Wandering Zibuxin to encourage himself.

He took the wooden sword and went out to practice sword again.

One, two, three... nine hundred and ninety... three thousand 25...

His goal is to swing the sword ten thousand times.

His body gradually felt painful and tired, and a voice quietly appeared in his heart, "Why don't you give up?"

He was sweating profusely, "It has been 11 years, and this day is not bad."

"If you could go back 11 years, what would you do?"

The wanderer sneered in disbelief, "Why bother spending 11 years of hard work on me."

"I, you don't believe it, even if you are a wanderer, you don't believe it. When I change my name, I should do it."

"I don't believe it. Those people's evaluations may not be wrong, but I just don't believe it."

After finishing speaking, he laughed loudly, as if mocking his whims, "Today, let's chop [-] pieces."

And just when he struck the [-]th stroke, a strange light shone from his wooden sword, and he cut down the entire mountain peak with one strike.

The wanderer stands proudly in disbelief, holding a wooden sword in his hand, and his unruly image is widely circulated in the mouths of the people.

"This is the story of the wanderer's unbelief. The voice he heard should be the question every monk has to experience."

"Ask the heart?" Jia Chengfeng turned his head, "He broke through the third level in one fell swoop?"

Cang Renshou nodded, "At least level three."

"It's amazing." Jia Chengfeng sighed.

"No." He changed the subject, "Do you want me to imitate the sword he has practiced for 11 years? The kind that has been incessant?"

"Not necessarily." Cang Renshou added, "If there is an inheritance left by a high-ranking monk from a long time ago..."

"Ah!" Jia Chengfeng lay down on the ground, "I've always had bad luck, this is the end."

Cang Renshou looked at him calmly, "Everyone has his own aspirations, each has his own talent, each has his own time, and each has his own use."

Hearing this, Jia Chengfeng was silent, he understood Cang Renshou's comfort to him, so he felt better.

He smiled and turned his head, "I know all about it."

Looking at his more stable eyes than when he first met, Cang Renshou felt very satisfied, but also felt a little regretful.

"Last time." She took the initiative to change the subject, "You were drunk..."

"I remember, you and Yi Wen sent me back." A few days later, Jia Chengfeng remembered clearly, "What's wrong?"

"You were about to say something, but Yi Wen interrupted." Cang Renshou reminded.

Jia Chengfeng scratched his head and recalled carefully, "What was I going to say? Let me think..."

He sat up with a pensive look, "That is, you want to express your praise for my country in the world?"

　It's Friday, and there will be a little more, at least I won't write temporarily...
