Chapter 96 Friend’s Life Experience
After half a cup of tea, Guo Yan brought back some game. He peeled the skin, removed the internal organs, cleaned it briefly, and quickly roasted it. He walked to the big yellow dog, tore off the meat strips and fed them little by little.

When Shen Qingluo heard the noise, he left the vicinity of the tomb and returned to the yard.

Seeing this scene, my originally bad mood improved slightly.

About forty feet away on the east side of the yard, there is another house, surrounded by a fence less than half a foot high. The house is made of earth and covered with thatch on the top.

At this moment, an old man carrying a large bundle of firewood came from a distance, wearing patched coarse linen clothes.

The big yellow dog that was eating barbecue saw the old man and immediately barked, wagging its tail.

The old man heard the sound and turned his head to look over.

He was a little surprised to see two strange girls there. After hesitating for a moment, he placed the firewood at the gate of the fence yard and walked over slowly.

"Very few people come to Cuckoo Village. Are these two girls looking for someone?"

Guo Yan stood up and replied with a smile: "Old man, my friend and I passed by here and came to take a look. I heard from the ancestors of the family that a hunter lived here before, but now it seems that this yard has been abandoned for a long time."

The old man felt a little strange after hearing this. He pointed to the dilapidated courtyard beside him, "Girl, you should be talking about the fourth uncle Yao. Only the fourth uncle Yao makes a living in the village, but these are more than 100 yuan." It happened years ago.”

"That's it. Does the old man know why this yard is abandoned? Is it because the owner moved elsewhere, or because there are no descendants?"

Mentioning this matter, the old man sighed heavily, "Uncle Yao had an only son named Yao Herui. He entered the hall when he was young and was very talented. Later he took part in the imperial examination and passed the college examination, provincial examination, and general examination. After becoming a Jinshi, he also participated in the palace examination. .

However, during the palace examination, He Rui spoke out, angering Tianyan and losing his life. His first wife died young, leaving only the fourth uncle Yao and his five-year-old daughter in the family.

Fourth Uncle Yao was already old. When he learned that He Rui had died, he was greatly shocked. His health and bones became worse and worse, and he left after less than a year.

People in the village helped with the funeral arrangements. Looking at the helpless little girl, who was less than six years old, some people thought of taking her back as a child bride.

The village chief agreed, but no one expected that after the decision was made, He Rui's daughter disappeared. They searched all over the village, but there was no sign of her.

The matter just ended. Due to the mysterious disappearance of He Rui's daughter, the courtyard was regarded as an ominous place by the villagers, and it has been abandoned ever since. "

Hearing this, Shen Qingluo suddenly asked, "What is the specific name of Yao Herui's daughter?"

"I think it's called" the old man scratched his head, "I remember when Fourth Uncle Yao was here, he often called her by her nickname. Oh, by the way, it's Momo, her nickname is Momo! Her nickname. Her nickname seems to be. Mo Lian?"

Hearing this all-too-familiar name, Shen Qingluo felt that sometimes things in the world were too coincidental. She never expected that this was the birthplace of her best friend.

One sentence in the book describes that both his parents died when he was young, but the reason was not explained, and he never imagined that this would be the case.

The friend was later taken in by the hairpin girl, so Mo Lian's disappearance probably wasn't abducted by gangsters. He probably overheard the conversation between the village chief and the others and quietly left the village when no one was paying attention.

Shen Qingluo put himself in his shoes and thought, if it were her, she would do the same thing.

It's a pity that I don't know where the hairpin girl is. She was able to take in my friend when he was young. And when I learned that there are immortal cultivators in the world and that my friend has spiritual roots and can cultivate, I encouraged my friend to go find immortality and live the life he wants.

Such a kind-hearted person should be rewarded with good things.

Shen Qingluo thought that if she knew the whereabouts of this hairpin girl, she would definitely go and visit her. After withdrawing her thoughts, she looked at the old man, nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you for letting me know."

"Girl, you're too polite. You don't need to thank me for talking about it. The sun is going down. You two girls should go back as soon as possible. It's not that safe at night."

"Well, I'll leave in a moment."

"Then old man, I won't disturb you anymore, just go home!"

The old man waved to the big yellow dog not far away, and the big yellow dog quickly followed, wagging its tail.

The sun sets in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the old man and the big yellow dog. For them, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, living an ordinary life, is also a kind of tranquility in the years.

After the old man left, Guo Yan looked at the people beside him, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Does fellow Taoist Luo have something on his mind? Judging from fellow Taoist's previous reaction, could it be that the missing young girl from this family is an old acquaintance of fellow Taoist?"

"She is my good friend and a fellow disciple, but we did not meet her when we were young. We gradually got to know each other and became friends after we joined the sect."

"I see, this is also a blessing. The descendants of those who were kind to their father have embarked on the path of spiritual practice."

Shen Qingluo suddenly remembered something and asked thoughtfully: "Does Fellow Daoist Guo know which dynasty this area belongs to?"

"Father once mentioned that there is a Yan dynasty that belongs to the Yin dynasty and exists on Duanlingyuan. The two countries are constantly fighting each other and fighting for years, making the people's lives miserable."

Shen Qingluo nodded and said nothing more.

At this moment, the system's sound suddenly sounded.

"While practicing, if you can accumulate some merits, it will be much easier to survive the thunder tribulation in the future. The side mission begins: change the mortal dynasty system, realize the wishes of friends, and merge the two dynasties into one, then the people's lives will be improved. , after the task is completed, you will get one hundred thousand points and a certain amount of merit."

Although Shen Qingluo was a little surprised by the emergence of this task, he did not reject it.

After thinking for a while, she sent a message and asked: "System, do you know Mo Lian's current situation? Has he been released from seclusion?"

"Not yet. Building a foundation and establishing a path cannot be accomplished in a short time, but this task cannot be completed in a short time either."

"Well, the point reward is closely related to the difficulty of the task. If it is easy to complete, the reward will not be as high as one hundred thousand. These two mortal dynasties should support some monks, right?"

"That's right, the host has to discover the specific situation slowly."

"I understand." Shen Qingluo temporarily cut off contact with the system and looked at the person beside him.

"Fellow Daoist Guo, I plan to stay in Duanlingyuan for a while. If Friend Daoist intends to go elsewhere, how about we part ways?"

Guo Yan was a little surprised. Duanlingyuan's spiritual energy was thin, so it was not appropriate to wait for a long time unless there was a reason to stay.

Thinking of this, she immediately asked: "Fellow Taoist Luo, is there anything you need my help with? Fellow Taoist has helped me a lot in the past. If I am of any use now, just say, I will do my best!"
