Immortality is above

Chapter 49 49: Have your cake and eat it too
  (The author also wants to collect and read at the same time...)
  On the Seven-Star Stone Arch Bridge, Chen Liubai held the sword pouch in his hand and gently stroked the exposed surface with his five fingers, feeling extremely happy in his heart.

The sword is in the bag, but it still needs some in-depth refining before it can be truly mastered.

However, "sword refining" is a hard work that requires perseverance and does not happen overnight.

Now, store it in the Hutian bag first, and then find a suitable time and environment in the future to polish it carefully.

The broken sword is still there.

An elder from Shanmen once said: Food, clothing, housing, transportation, and trivial details can all polish your mind.

Looking around, he found that it was a mess, but the sword energy was still scattered.

There was quite a lot of noise when the sword came out of the water earlier, and broken vegetation and leaves flew everywhere.

Fortunately, at this time, no one else was around.

For a time, Chen Liubai could not eliminate many traces, and he could not directly destroy the stone arch bridge.

Besides, there's no need for that.

"what?"

Suddenly, I saw something on the bridge ahead shining brightly in the moonlight. It was a big fish.

I walked over immediately and saw that the big fish, which was two to three feet long, was quite fat and would jump around when frightened.

It must have been accidentally thrown out due to the turbulence of the water just now.

"Haha, tonight's supper is here."

In addition to getting treasures, there are additional gifts, which is really a joy in life.

He immediately broke off a tough grass stem, pierced the big fish's gills, held it in his hand, and strode back to Chenjiaji.

The doors are closed and high walls are erected. For Chen Liubai now, there has long been no obstacle and the flow is unobstructed.

"what!"

Someone screamed.

This is the strong man who returned to the wall to take charge of guarding after order was restored.

It's not just him, there are others.

Someone immediately asked, "A-chan, what's your name?"

Na Acan whispered: "Just a moment ago, I seemed to see a figure coming in from outside, and then disappeared."

"Isn't it?"

"Did you see clearly?"

A-chan hesitated and said, "I'm not sure either."

Tonight's incident has been aroused for a long time, and everyone is still frightened and suspicious.

They looked at each other, not knowing who was the leader. They immediately dispersed like birds and beasts, and hid in the Wubao archery tower as if they were running away.

Chen Liubai returned home, looked up, smiled, and knocked on the door: "Dad, mother, brother, I'm back."

"Is it San'er?"

"Is it the third child?"

With a beeping sound, the wooden door opened.

Chen Liubai raised the big fish in his hand and said with a smile: "I caught a fish and cooked it in fish soup while it was fresh."

Father Chen: "..."

Chen Liushan: "..."

On such a thrilling night, Chen Liubai went out boldly, and when he came back, he spoke in such a calm manner, as if he had only gone fishing by the river for so long.

Mother Chen didn't think too much, as long as her son came home safely, she happily came over to get the fish: "Oh, it's so heavy!"

He almost lost his balance: "I have never seen such a big fish before, and I can't even identify its species."

Chen Liubai smiled and said: "Anyway, it is a good fish with high nutrition, especially for sisters-in-law. Drinking this fish soup is the most nourishing and good for the fetus."

This fish is not ordinary. To grow to such a big size, it must be old. It can almost be classified as fine food grade.

If ordinary people eat refined foods, there will be no problem of deficiency or lack of supplementation, but it will be quite beneficial.

Mrs. Chen Yang believed her brother-in-law's words deeply, and immediately went to the kitchen with Chen's mother to start working.

The three men stayed in the hall waiting to eat. Chen's father and the eldest brother had a tacit understanding not to ask anything. They didn't understand anything and couldn't help. Instead, they seemed nagging and annoying, so it was better not to ask.

……

It was late at night in the mountains, the wind was howling, and it was quite cold.

The bonfire is still burning brightly, and there are people watching the fire, adding firewood, and keeping watch.

Chen Weibin woke up suddenly.

He had a dream, in which he saw a gray-haired old man who claimed to be his great-grandfather. He staggered over and opened his mouth to speak, but could not speak. He just cried "babbling".

In fact, Chen Weibin had never met his great-grandfather. In his grandfather's generation, the family moved to Jiangzhou Prefecture. I have never seen a real person. I have only seen a portrait. The painting was very kind, somewhat similar to the old man in the dream.

He felt strange, so he stepped forward to ask what happened.

But the old man only reached down and pointed, and then disappeared.

The next moment, Chen Weibin was awakened.

This rarely happens.

The occurrence of nightmares is not normal in itself and is mostly caused by external factors.

As a warrior figure who has opened two to three hundred acupuncture points, his body is full of energy and blood, and his vitality is strong, so he will not be easily affected.

As the saying goes: There is something to think about every day and something to dream about at night.

But Chen Weibin knew very well that he had never thought about his great-grandfather at all.

How can we think of people we have never met before, even if they are relatives?

Soon, he thought: this might be an ancestral apparition.

Combined with this rare ritual ceremony for the clan, it can be seen that maybe something happened to the village?

Under the great-grandfather's finger, does this mean he is asking him to go down the mountain and go home?
  It must be...

Chen Weibin stood up suddenly.

The commotion was so big that it disturbed Hou Huanian next to him, who muttered: "Junior Brother Chen, what are you doing in such a startled manner?"

"I want to go down the mountain."

"Now?"

Hou Huanian looked at the sky, it was almost dawn, it was the darkest time: "Are you crazy?"

Chen Weibin said in a deep voice: "Swordsmen like us are still afraid of walking at night?"

Hou Huanian spread his hands: "I'm really scared, but my junior sister is here, and she hates being woken up when she's asleep."

After spending the night here, Zhao Geer and his soldiers set up a tent to sleep on one side of the mountain col; the two of them were on the other side, some distance apart.

This represents a gap in status and is also due to the differences between men and women.

Your Royal Highness, Princess, is reserved.

Hearing this, Chen Weibin felt inexplicably agitated and regretted that he should not have invited Zhao Geer and Hou Huanian to return home together.

The original starting point was to use the identity of the other party to build momentum and take the opportunity to deepen the friendship between them.

But now it seems that I feel constrained everywhere and look useless.

I can't help but think of a word: overshadowing the guest!
  It's not that Zhao Ge'er deliberately steals the limelight, but because of her identity, as long as she appears, the limelight will naturally pass away.

And in various matters, you have to listen to her opinion before making decisions.

Otherwise, it will be disrespectful and damage the relationship.

It feels really bad.

As the proud son of the younger generation of the Chen family, returning to his hometown to participate in the sacrifice should have been a high-spirited moment for Chen Weibin.

But now?

I can only accompany the other person up the mountain to hunt without consent, and I can't just go down the mountain at will, which is quite depressing.

But the matter has come to this, and I can only endure it.

After finally waiting until dawn, the sun rose. Zhao Geer got up, started washing and dressing up, and then preparing breakfast.

More than an hour passed before we finally set off and headed back down the mountain.

They all came here on horseback. Before going up the mountain, they left the horses at the foot of the mountain and had someone to watch and feed them. Now when they got down there, they just rode away.

There was no words all the way. When he returned to the Seven-Star Stone Arch Bridge, Chen Weibin felt something, reined in his horse and stopped.

Hou Huanian asked: "What's wrong with you?"

Chen Weibin looked around: "I seem to feel the sword energy?"

Hou Huanian sneered: "Where does the sword energy come from in this wretched place? There are several piles of cow dung. It stinks so much. Let's leave quickly."

There was a lot of commotion on the farm last night, which made people panic, but on the second day, we still have to work and go to the fields. Otherwise, what will we eat and drink?
  For farmers, as long as they can still move, they have to work.

It happened that while Her Royal Highness the Princess was away, the cattle were taken out for farming early. When passing by, it was inevitable that the cattle would be left behind and look dirty.

After Chen Weibin felt it, he didn't find the exact sword energy, so he followed it away.

As soon as I returned to the upper half of the village, I heard the relevant announcement:
  Sure enough, something happened...

　Originally, my goal this week was to enter the 20-30 range of the new book list. At first glance, it was ranked 13th. It was so impressive that I even thought about hitting the top ten this weekend. I felt like I was dreaming of returning to the top. A sense of trance.

　　Thank you to book friends "8103", "9027" and "Appreciating White Flowers in Spring and Viewing Snow in Winter" for their generous rewards, as well as all the book friends and grandfathers for their support through votes. Thank you very much!
