C3 An Ping Village
Anping Village was located at the foot of the outer mountain of Qixuan Mountain. As the mountain was relatively peaceful here, most of the hunters from the surrounding villages would pass by here. The Anping Village was usually very lively. Due to the frequent visits of the hunters, this place had become a small market. The people around here would carry out some basic trades. Due to the unique terrain of Qixuan Mountain, the weather in the mountain was harsh. Outside the mountain, however, it was like two different worlds. The climate was relatively mild. This made the surrounding villages have a better life.
The sky was especially dark during the twelfth lunar month. The sun had already started to set at the foot of the mountain. The gentle afterglow sprinkled over the peaceful Anping Village. Currently, smoke was rising from the chimneys of every household in the Anping Village. The fragrance of the house drifted out. It was already dinnertime.
The five people who entered the mountain and the young man in the mountain were already walking on the main road of Anping Village. Around the five-meter wide main road, many busy figures were packing up their stalls. There were about thirty to forty stalls here. Most of them were wild animals and fur. There were also some fabric and five different types of food. There were quite a lot of them.
The young man who had come out of the mountain for the first time was extremely excited when he saw a variety of items and all kinds of humans. The meat of this house was poked, and the skin of that house was flipped. He even used his dirty hands to touch the exquisite cloth, causing the boss to curse and make Wang Hongyuan apologize repeatedly.
After walking forward for a while, Wang Hongyuan stopped in front of a stall. The owner of the stall was lowering his head and packing up the items, preparing to pack up the stall and go home. "Old Zhang, the same old." Wang Hongyuan shouted.
The boss heard him and said without looking up, "It's in front of your left foot."
Wang Hongyuan heard him and lifted the bag in front of him with his right hand. "Okay, I just hit a black boar today. I'll give you two pounds of meat in two days."
"Black boar? It's a big harvest today." Old Zhang said.
Don't say it. In order to get this beast, Little Lee and I almost lost our lives. I have to go home and recuperate first." Wang Hongyuan smiled bitterly and said goodbye to Old Zhang. He gave the bag to the young man beside him and then pulled him forward.
After passing through the booth area, a house appeared in front of them. Most of the houses were made of wood and wood. A few stone houses indicated the living standard of the family. "Ah Fei, take Little Lee to Immortal Master Chen first. I'll be there in a moment." Wang Hongyuan said to Ah Fei.
"Alright, Brother Wang. After Ah Fei said that, he carried Little Lee and walked to the side. The others also said goodbye. They all returned home. As for the black boar, it was too heavy and had long been thrown to the youth to pull it. The several hundred jin black boar youth pulled it like he was playing with it. When they passed the booth area, they still had time to put it down and touch things before coming back. They didn't fall at all and throw everyone away.
After everyone had parted ways, Wang Hongyuan said to the young man, "Let's go. I'll take you to my house to take a look." The young man nodded when he heard that. After spending a few hours together, the young man seemed to have understood something. He could already understand most of the words. It was just that he did not know how to say them yet.
Wang Hongyuan led the young man to a wooden house and stopped. He said to the young man beside him, "Leave the wild boar here for now. Let my wife handle it. It has been tough on you all the way here." The young man shook his head. He pointed at Wang Hongyuan's arm, indicating that he was not tired. Wang Hongyuan smiled and said, "That's true. If you can even hold it and play with it, you definitely won't be tired pulling it." After saying that, he turned around and shouted into the house, "Wife. I'm back."
At this moment, a delicate and pretty woman walked out of the house, "You're back. Quickly come in and rest. You've been running around in the mountains for a day. You must be exhausted." After saying that, she turned to look at the youth and asked: "This little brother is?"
"Yun Er, in order to fight this black boar, Little Lee was forced to vomit blood. My left hand was broken by it. It was all thanks to this little immortal. Otherwise, we would have lost our lives." Wang Hongyuan scratched his head with an apologetic look on his face.
"Ah, you fool. Isn't it good to fight wild chickens and wild rabbits? If you insist on competing with a wild boar, and this little immortal isn't here," Wang Hongyuan said. " What do you want me to do with Huaer and her mother? " The woman's delicate face was full of heartache, as if the one who was injured wasn't Wang Hongyuan. It was as if she was the one who was injured. After that, she bowed deeply to the young man and said, "Thank you for saving my life, Little Immortal."
The young man was at a loss. He tilted his head and bowed to her. The woman looked at Wang Hongyuan with a strange expression.
"I don't know why, but I don't seem to remember what happened. I don't even know how to speak." Wang Hongyuan said.
"Let's go in first. Don't let me stay outside. I'll go make some tea." Lee Yun quickly called the two into the house. Wang Hongyuan stopped them.
"No, no, no. My left hand was broken by this beast. I have to find Immortal Master Chen to treat my wound first, and let him check on the condition of this little Immortal. Tell Ah Fei and his mother to take care of this beast first." Wang Hongyuan endured the injury of his ribs and did not dare to say anything. He was afraid that Lee Yun would scold him even worse.
"Okay, okay, okay. Fortunately, there is the little immortal and Immortal Master Chen. Otherwise, ten lives wouldn't be enough for you guys." Lee Yun scolded Wang Hongyuan.
"Hehe, I only dared to take the risk because of Immortal Master Chen, who has a wonderful hand." Wang Hongyuan quickly pulled the young man to the center of the residential area.
In the center of the residential area, there was an open space about twenty to thirty square meters wide. There was a shed, and under the shed were a dozen tables and chairs. In front of the shed, there was an exquisite wooden house. At this time, Wang Hongyuan was leading the young man inside the shed.
"This is where Immortal Master Chen lives. This shed is where Immortal Master Chen usually teaches the children. Immortal Master Chen's medical skills are excellent. The villagers around him often come to him for treatment." Wang Hongyuan said to the young man. The young man just nodded and followed Wang Hongyuan into the house.
The furnishings in the house were very simple. There was a desk, a chair, and behind the chair was a screen. Behind the screen was a bed. Apart from some daily necessities, there was nothing else. At this moment, a man in a white robe was sitting in front of the desk, looking at the two people who had entered the room with a gentle smile.
"Hongyuan, you're here. Ah Fei has already told me about the matter. Come, let me take a look at your injuries first." The man's tone was slow and steady, revealing a sense of steadiness. After he finished speaking, he pulled out a chair from behind the screen and gestured for the young man to take a seat. Then he brought Wang Hongyuan to the back of the screen and looked at his injuries.
"Due to the dislocation of the radial and ulnar bones, three of the left ribs are broken. Your injury is not light, Hongyuan." Immortal Master Chen was fiddling with Wang Hongyuan's hand as he spoke to him. It made Wang Hongyuan cry out in pain.
When the young man saw this scene, he covered his eyes. Although he did not know what it was like to have a broken bone, he was still frightened by the scream.
After a while, Wang Hongyuan and Immortal Master Chen walked out from behind the screen with their left hands and upper bodies wrapped in bandages. Immortal Master Chen still had a gentle smile on his face, but Wang Hongyuan still had tears in the corner of his eyes. It must be painful.
Immortal Master Chen came out and bowed to the young man. "I am Chen Yang," he said. "Greetings, my friend." The young man saw another person doing this to him. He was puzzled. "Why does everyone like to raise their hands and bend their backs? It's so troublesome." Even though he thought so, the youth still learned this move. He quietly looked at Chen Yang. Very unusual.
Chen Yang's hair was jet black. He tied a ponytail behind him and hung it down to his neck. His brown eyes revealed wisdom. His handsome face seemed to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old. In addition, he wore a long white robe. He looked exactly like a young female assassin. However, the young man could not see anything. He just felt that this person was stronger than him!
Chen Yang saw that the young man did not speak, so he asked again, "Fellow Daoist, where is your master? Can you tell me?" The young man only tilted his head and looked at Chen Yang.
"It's fine if you don't want to tell me. May I ask if you need anything in Anping Village? I am quite familiar with this place, so I can help you." Chen Yang asked again. The young man still looked at Chen Yang with a puzzled expression. It made Chen Yang feel awkward.
At this time, Wang Hongyuan smiled and said, Immortal Master Chen, he just understood some human language. I'm sure he doesn't understand your way of asking. Let me do it."
"Huh? Is there something wrong with my way of asking?" Chen Yang asked in confusion.
"Master, look at me."
"Little brother, where did you come from?" Wang Hongyuan asked.
The young man shook his head.
"Little brother, why did you come to Anping Village?" Wang Hongyuan asked again.
"Home." The young man pointed at Wang Hongyuan and spat out a word.
Wang Hongyuan turned to look at Chen Yang. Chen Yang smiled and said, "Alright, I understand."
"Immortal Master Chen, I got a bag of thirteen incense from Old Zhang. Let's have some wild pork tonight." Wang Hongyuan asked.
"If that's the case, I'll shamelessly go to your house and have a meal." Chen Yang said with a smile.
After saying that, the three of them walked out of the house and headed towards Wang Hongyuan's house.
