"Just kidding, I met an older brother in the village when I came here. Let's go over and ask if we can stay at his place for one night, and then we can find a way to go back tomorrow." Li Tian expressed his thoughts.
The two dogs heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, fearing that Li Tianzhen would ask them to hump two people.
It has decided that if Li Tian encounters any danger next time, he will never save him and let him fend for himself.
Everyone turned around the fork in the street and soon came to the eldest brother's simple hut. Li Tian saw the light on the hut and couldn't help but wonder, is he still up so late?
He looked at the crowd, without thinking much, walked straight forward and knocked lightly on the wooden door.
Dong Dong Dong, the wooden door was opened within a few seconds after there was a knock.
The elder brother held the door with one hand and stood behind it.
Apparently the man felt relieved when he saw that Li Tian was safe and sound.
"Little brother, are you okay?" He asked about Li Tian's situation as he spoke. The corner of his eye turned to the people not far behind him, looking a little surprised, and continued, "Bring all your classmates out."
Already?" He was also sincerely happy for Li Tian at this moment.
Li Tian smiled happily and replied to him, "Yes, the matter in Washington is over, and the murderer has been driven away by us. There will be no danger in the village in the future."
The man nodded, "That's great." The thorn hanging in the hearts of the people in their village has been removed. During this period, the massacre of the family in Washington was still causing panic among everyone.
He looked at the people behind Li Tian again and asked, "Are you guys going back? Do you want to come in and have a cup of hot tea? It just started raining and it's quite cool outside." As he said that, he opened the wooden door wide.
, indicating that everyone is welcome to come in and sit.
Li Tian then smiled sheepishly, stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his head, looked at him and said, "Brother, I have an unkind request that I want to discuss with you."
After all, there were so many of them, so he was still a little embarrassed to say that he wanted to stay the night.
As soon as his words came out, the man became confused, so he asked, "What's wrong? If you have anything to say, come in first. It's cold outside. I'll pour you some hot water to warm you up first." He greeted everyone directly and warmly.
, motioning for everyone to come in and sit down first, and talk about anything later.
Li Tian couldn't refuse due to his enthusiasm. He turned around and waved to the people behind him, asking them to follow him in, and then walked into the house first.
When everyone saw this, they looked at each other and followed in. The houses in the countryside were a bit dilapidated. Unlike Li Tian, this was their first time entering such an old house, so they felt a little uncomfortable.
In the corner of the room is a stove that has been slightly blackened by smoke. Hoes, baskets and other items are randomly stacked aside, and a slightly dim small lamp hangs above the head.
At this time, the man walked out of the room, carrying hot water and several cups in his hand, and looked at them still standing there.
"The house is a bit shabby. Don't mind it. Come and sit down." He stepped forward and put the kettle in his hand on the table and hurriedly greeted them.
After hearing this, everyone sat down on the stools with some restraint. Yun Zhi felt that it was okay and did not feel disgusted. He sat directly next to Li Tian. On the contrary, Wan Xiaoqing and the others looked a little restless, obviously unable to do anything for the moment.
Habit.
Seeing everyone sitting down, the man poured hot water for them one by one and sat directly opposite them.

"What did you want to tell me just now?" He looked at Li Tian with a smile and asked the question just now.
Li Tian held the cup of hot water in front of him and felt the slightest warmth coming from it.
"Brother, there are no cars here at night. It's inconvenient for us to go back. I want to stay here for a night, do you think it's okay? Don't worry, we won't stay in vain, we can give you money." Li Tianqi
He took a sip of hot water from the cup and said slowly.
The man suddenly realized that this was what Li Tian wanted to tell him, so he laughed, "I thought it was a big deal. As long as you don't dislike it, you can stay here as long as you like."
Seeing his promise, Li Tian felt happy. As long as he came over tonight, it would be convenient to go back at dawn tomorrow.
"Then I'm sorry, brother." He thanked him quickly.
The man stood up and said, "No trouble, just wait here for a while and I'll get you a bed. I just want you to squeeze in at night." He smiled, his smile full of simplicity.
But at this moment, Wan Xiaoqing, who had been silent, spoke up, "No, let's go back tonight."
One sentence directly broke the originally peaceful atmosphere.
The man who was going to the room to get the bedding stopped when he heard this and turned to look at her in confusion.
Everyone, including everyone, looked at her in confusion. Wasn't this already decided when she came?
Wan Lingdang asked, "What's wrong, Xiaoqing?"
But Wan Xiaoqing looked at everyone with a sly expression, and said sheepishly, "I want to go back to sleep, but I can't sleep outside..."
This made Wan Lingdang's face stiffen. Her sister had been spoiled since she was a child, and she obviously didn't want to suffer like this. This made her speechless for a moment.
The man looked embarrassed. Even a fool would know why she insisted on leaving.
Yun Zhi remained expressionless and silent, as if he wanted to wait for Li Tian to make a decision. If Li Tian wanted to stay, he would also stay. As for Wan Xiaoqing and the others, they had nothing to do with him and could not live in love.
Li Tian had a headache for a while. He finally found a place to live, but he didn't expect to be ganked by his own people.
That's right, how could the pampered eldest lady, who was always well-dressed and well-fed, be willing to stay in a dilapidated hut for the night? But he couldn't force her, he could only let her do what she wanted.
He sighed helplessly, looked at the man standing in front of him with a slightly embarrassed look, and said, "I'm sorry, brother, since my classmate wants to go back, then we'd better go back."
The man smiled and didn't mind at all. He sat down again and said, "It doesn't matter. By the way, I've always called you little brother. I don't know what your name is yet."
Seeing that the man was not unhappy, Li Tian also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "My name is Li Tian, Li from Dawn, Tian from Sky. Brother, just call me Xiaotian." He pointed to Yun Zhi aside, "This is
My second brother, his name is Ling Yunzhi."
When Yun Zhi saw that he was introduced, he quickly smiled politely at the man.
"That dog's name is Ergou, and these two girls are Miss Xiaoqing and Miss Lingdang." Li Tian introduced everyone.
The man nodded and said with a smile, "My name is Nong Yi."
Then we chatted with them for a while.
"You are all students of Lingtian Academy, right? In fact, I used to fantasize about the world of cultivation. I also went to Lingtian Academy when I was young, but I was not qualified enough. Hahaha, I have been in this trance for more than ten years.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It's over." He laughed and told about his past. In the past, he was also a young man who longed to travel to the end of the world with a sword.
But Li Tian saw a hint of loneliness in his eyes. Yes, no one would settle for mediocrity.
Yun Zhi smiled calmly after hearing this and told Nong Yi his thoughts: "Practice cultivates people, and more importantly, the heart. The road lies at your own feet. Since you have a heart to practice, you should not be bound by the worldly world."
, the world is so big that there is more than just one Lingtian Academy."
Nong Yi was shocked after hearing what Yun Zhi said. Yes, the world is so big, why did he give up so easily back then?
He inadvertently looked at the room to one side, where his wife and children were, and then chuckled. It was too late to say anything now, and his ambition had already been blunted by reality.
He turned his head and looked at the still energetic young people in front of him, as if he had seen what he had been like before. They were doing things that he had never done before, and they were living with their dreams.
This is enough. Now he is just an ordinary farmer with a wife and children, and he no longer thinks about what he has and what is not.
He smiled and said, "If I had this idea before, I would probably have the same idea as you do now. Unfortunately, I am old now and it is too late to practice." As he said, he looked straight at Li Tian, "Little
Brother Tian, please take a look at the prosperity of this world of cultivation for me. This can be regarded as fulfilling my childhood dream."
Li Tian looked at him with a hint of exhaustion in his slightly cloudy eyes.
He was affected by Nong Yi's words. He thought that if he had not got the compass left by his grandfather, he would definitely be like this in the future. Marry a wife and have children, work at sunrise and rest at sundown, living an ordinary life without doing anything.
.
But there is a strange desire deep in Nong Yi's eyes. It is the yearning of ordinary people for spiritual practice, which cannot be erased by reality.
He thought of the people he saw in the Xiangzhan Pavilion today who were obviously talented but were willing to be mediocre. Compared with them, he couldn't help but sigh at the injustice of the world.
But this also made him more determined to walk on the road destined to have no end.
He looked at Nong Yi seriously and replied firmly, "Brother Nong, I will help you go down this road and help you see the prosperity of this world of cultivation."
Nong Yi did not expect that Li Tian would agree to him so solemnly, and laughed, "The relationship is good, then come over and play when you are free later, and tell me what the world of cultivation is like."
Hearing this, Li Tian agreed immediately.
Yun Zhi looked at Li Tian and smiled happily. After tonight, his elder brother will become different.
Wan Xiaoqing was bored and didn't care what they were talking about. She just wanted to leave here quickly. From this point of view, she and Ergou had some similarities.
Wan Lingdang was not impatient at all. He held his sister's hand and smiled as a listener, listening patiently to their conversation.
Sensing Wan Xiaoqing's impatience, Li Tian had no choice but to end the short chat and say goodbye first.
"It's not too early, Brother Nong, let's go back first." He drank the hot water in the cup and stood up from the stool as he spoke.
Seeing everyone standing up, Nong Yi also stood up quickly.
"Okay, then you should pay attention to safety when you go back at night." He nodded in response to Li Tian's farewell.
