Mysterious country

Chapter 399

Without the bus, Xia Qi and Leng Yue had no choice but to choose to walk. Fortunately, the rest of the journey was still within their acceptable range. After walking for one night and another morning, Xia Qi and the others finally It is the terminal of the bus.

According to Leng Yue, the terminal of the bus is a village called "Tongbei". There are many people in the village, about [-] households.

When Xia Qi and Leng Yue entered Tongbei Village, they happened to catch up with the market in Tongbei Village. There were not only people from Tongbei Village, but also several surrounding villages, and it was extremely lively.

Xia Qi has been living in the city since he was a child, and he has hardly seen a market lined up with long lines, so he feels like going out for fun this time in his heart.

"On the 1st and 20th of every month, the surrounding villages will come here for the market. When Master and I lived together, every time there was a market, we would come here to buy something.

You can buy some apples here, if you don't buy enough, you may be hungry in the next few days. "

Leng Yue looked at Xia Qi who was looking around with interest, and couldn't help but stop him, pointing to the fruit stand not far away and said.

"It's rare to come out with you, don't you even offer a meal?"

Even if Leng Yue didn't need to say it, Xia Qi knew to prepare some food for himself. After all, he had almost eaten all the apples in his luggage when he was on the bus, and he was worried that he didn't know what to do. It is natural to be well prepared when you encounter it now.

People were coming and going in the market, it was so lively, Xia Qi ran to the fruit stand and found a lot of things he could eat.

For strawberries, red apples, tomatoes, cherries, etc., Xia Qi bought a lot of each, especially apples, which he bought the most, and he bought a big bag directly.

The shriveled luggage bag bulged again, Xia Qi was carrying two big bags in his hands, and his mood gradually improved again.

After solving his problems, Xia Qi accompanied Leng Yue to find a food stall and sat down to eat something.

Grabbing a handful of sour cherries and putting them into his mouth, Xia Qi chewed and said to Leng Yue who was eating noodles:
"Living in a small village is also very good. It has more atmosphere than living in a city. When there is a market, it is full of local customs."

After Xia Qi finished speaking with emotion, seeing that Leng Yue ignored him, he asked again:
"What should we do? Should we rest in the village before leaving, or continue on our way after eating? How far is it from you?"

"There is no hotel in the village. We won't spend the night here anymore. We will continue on our way after dinner. It will take about half a day to get there."

Leng Yue finally replied to Xia Qi, but this answer somewhat disappointed him, because he wanted to rest here before leaving.

After waiting for Leng Yue to finish her meal, the two started their journey again, passing through Tongbei Village and embarking on a path into the mountain.

Although the mountain road was uneven and somewhat narrow, it was much easier than the mountain road they walked when they went to Hulu Village.

There are many trees in the mountain, but to Xia Qi's surprise, they didn't see many traces of felling along the way.

According to Leng Yue, this is because the people in Tongbei Village know that if too many trees are cut down, mudslides are likely to be caused in heavy rains, and Tongbei Village faces the mountain with its back. Once a mudslide occurs, the most affected people are The village, so there is a decree in the village that prohibits cutting trees on the mountain.

The firewood that the villagers usually use is the straw picked up from the geography in autumn, as well as some tree branches, which are more than enough for cooking.

"This Tongbei Village seems to be quite backward, but I didn't expect that the concept is quite advanced. This is something that most people in the city can't do."

After listening to Leng Yue's explanation, Xia Qi couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"The folk customs in the village are very simple. When my master was still there, he took me on walks with the people in the village."

There was some remembrance in Leng Yue's eyes, obviously thinking of his master again at this moment.

"Is your master strict with you?"

Xia Qi seldom asked about Master Leng Yue before, because he was afraid that Leng Yue would ignore him on the one hand, and more because he didn't want Leng Yue to become sad.

But this time they come back to worship together, it is inevitable that Leng Yue will miss his master, so he doesn't have so many worries.

Leng Yue also gave him face this time, shook her head and said:
"Although the master is unsmiling, he is not a very strict person. It's just that when I was learning the spells, he occasionally urged me by my side."

"No wonder you are so taciturn. It turns out that your master is also this kind of person. Is it true that the whole family enters a family?"

When Xia Qi said this, seeing that Leng Yue was looking at him with murderous eyes, he hurriedly changed the subject and said:
"Your master is at the manager level of the underworld. It stands to reason that he should be very strong in spells, but you have studied with him for so long, why haven't you reached his level yet?"

"Master taught me the most basic spells, because some spells cannot be mastered by ordinary people, and only those who join the underworld can obtain them.

Although my master and I live in a Taoist temple, we are not Taoist priests in fact. It is because there is no one living in the Taoist temple here, so my master packed up and moved in after he found out by chance.

He is a quiet person who hates the hustle and bustle of the city. "

"It seems that you and your master are really similar, but this place is really good, with a feeling of returning to nature."

Speaking of this, Xia Qi couldn't help thinking of something that Chu Mengqi once mentioned to him:
"Does your master want you to join Hades?"

Hearing Xia Qi asked about this, Leng Yue's face suddenly showed guilt, but she didn't evade it, she shook her head and said:

"When Master left, I was by his side, and he told me more than once that he must not join the Underworld, and must not think about avenging him.

But... I didn't listen to him, against his wishes. "

After Leng Yue finished speaking, his mood became depressed. Xia Qi felt that he had asked another question that should not be asked. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, but he had to close his mouth obediently, so as not to accidentally hurt him again. cold moon.

The two of them hadn't rested for a day and a night, and they had been on their way non-stop, so whether it was Leng Yue or Xia Qi, they were both physically exhausted.

"Stop and rest for a while before leaving."

Xia Qi didn't want to rush on the road anymore, so he called out to Leng Yue who was walking in front.

Leng Yue turned around and saw that Xia Qi had already found a big rock and sat on it, he also nodded symbolically, and leaned against a tree to rest.

It's just that they hadn't rested for a long time when they heard a scream coming from the front.
