The bearded man burped loudly and sighed to Wang Chen: "To be honest, Master Immortal, this is the best meal I have eaten this year!"
He touched his swollen belly with unsatisfied feelings.
When they first met, the big man with the curly beard was 70% cautious and 30% vigilant.
Now that the two of them were eating a pot of rice together, he and Wang Chen became familiar with each other, and they stopped holding back.
"Call me Wang Chen."
Wang Chen smiled and said: "Brother Wei, can you tell me about the outside world?"
He cooked this meal for the big man with the beard.
In addition to repaying the other party's hard work, he also wanted to use this innate warrior to inquire about the situation in the outside world.
The original owner knew very little about the outside world.
"My name is Wei Xiong."
The big man with beard clasped his fists: "Master Wang Xian, just ask, I will tell you everything I know!"
Wang Chen was not in a hurry to ask questions and went to make a pot of tea first.
Chatting with Wei Xiong while drinking.
The area outside the Yunyang Sect's mountain gate is collectively called the Outer Territory.
For the disciples in the sect, the outside world is very dangerous. Demons and demons are rampant and evil spirits are everywhere, making it a barbaric and bad land.
But there are also a large number of casual cultivators living in the outer lands.
Due to the harsh environment and difficulty in surviving, most casual cultivators formed villages to protect themselves.
Wei Xiong comes from a scattered cultivator settlement called "Heiyan Village", which is nearly a hundred miles away from here.
Loose cultivators living in Heiyan Village, and warriors like Wei Xiong.
There were about four to five hundred people.
And similar villages abound in the outer regions.
Wei Xiong knew of a large city with thousands of casual cultivators, and the leader of the village was practicing Qi Dzogchen.
Casual cultivators usually make a living by hunting monsters and mining spiritual medicines, spiritual minerals and other spiritual materials.
There are also many like Wei Xiong.
He came to the outer gate of Yunyang to do odd jobs.
In fact, with Wei Xiong's strength, he can definitely find a stable job in Yunyang City.
But the prerequisite is that he must sign a deed prohibiting him from being used as a horse or a bull for others.
Wei Xiong didn't want to be a slave to others, so he took his sister to survive in Black Rock Village.
All this hardship is just to enter the path of immortality!
Wang Chen thought for a while and asked: "Brother Wei, do you know about the Huiyan bandit attack some time ago?"
"I know very little."
Wei Xiong replied: "At that time, the village was sealed and the defensive array was activated, because I was afraid that Gray Eye would steal it."
However, the gray-eyed thieves did not attack the scattered cultivator villages.
Their disappearance was as sudden as their appearance, and until now there has been no sound.
Wang Chen asked many other questions.
Let him have a basic understanding of the situation in the outside world.
This way, if Wang Chen wants to run away one day, he won't have a black eye when he gets out!
Until the bell sounded at the end of the hour.
Wei Xiongcai was shocked: "Ah, it's getting late, I have to go to plow the fields!"
It just so happened that Wang Chen had almost finished asking.
Before the sun set, Wei Xiong plowed all ten acres of Wang Chen's family's spiritual field.
Then he left in a hurry regardless of Wang Chen's attempts to stay.
After the innate master left, Wang Chen saw that it was not dark yet, so he took rice seeds and spread them.
The job was very simple and easy, and it didn't take him long to complete it.
Finally, a magic spell is used to create clouds and rain, providing abundant water vapor for the newly planted rice seeds.
If it goes well.
These rice seeds will germinate at night and grow rapidly.
Before the first snow falls in winter, provide Wang Chen with the second season of rice this year.
After it rained, it became dark.
Wang Chen walked towards home on the muddy road between the fields.
Suddenly I felt like I was being spied on!
He subconsciously turned his head and looked.
I saw a half-year-old child standing at the door of my neighbor Lao Suntou's house not far away.
Look this way.
Probably sensing that Wang Chen had discovered him, he immediately turned around and ran into the yard.
who is this?
Wang Chen turned a corner with doubts and came to Lao Suntou's house.
As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.
He has a good relationship with Lao Suntou. Now that he sees a stranger coming and going, he naturally wants to check it out.
"Uncle Sun!"
Wang Chen raised his hand and patted the half-open courtyard door: "Are you at home?"
As a result, the wooden door was opened directly.
As soon as he saw it, he saw a table in the small courtyard. On the table was a steaming small hot pot with a copper stove.
Lao Sun was half leaning on the chair beside the table, holding a piece of tofu in his right hand and cutting it with the knife in his left hand.
He was still humming a little tune.
"Oh!"
Wang Chen's sudden appearance startled the old man, and the knife almost cut into his palm.
The next moment, a woman in a sarong came out of the main room carrying a plate.
Everyone was stunned!
"Dogzi?"
Lao Suntou was the first to react, stood up, put the tofu into the pot, and asked with a smile: "Why are you here?"
Wang Chen was speechless.
Because he had already recognized the woman in the sarong.
The other party was Old Man Lu's wife. Wang Chen had previously gone to her husband's cemetery to clear out rhinos.
The woman looked old and haggard at the time.
And now she looks much younger, and her clothes look neat.
It shows a bit of charming and charming temperament.
Wang Chen almost didn't recognize it at first glance.
But he remembered clearly that Old Man Lu was dead.
Died while watching the excitement.
Not long!
Lao Suntou smiled awkwardly, stepped forward and pulled Wang Chen out to whisper.
It turned out that this woman, Mrs. Li, was the second wife of old man Lu. After old man Lu died, she and her younger son were kicked out of the house by the eldest son of her original wife.
Lao Suntou felt pity for Mrs. Li's loneliness and helplessness, so he took mother and son into his home.
Just the past two days.
"Brother Lu and I have known each other for many years."
Lao Suntou explained: "I really can't bear to see his wife and children suffer, so giving him food to eat is considered a good deed."
"I was just looking for a chance to tell you!"
Doing good deeds and accumulating virtue?
Wang Chen couldn't help but want to complain: What's the difference between you and Cao Cao?
But the other party will definitely not understand.
But then again.
Without the care and support of Lao Suntou, Li and her children would not have been able to survive.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is doing good deeds and accumulating virtue.
In fact, situations like Li's are not uncommon.
She is very lucky.
But the old man who was originally a widower now has a wife and a child, so he will never throw the spirit stone into Qunfang Pavilion again.
It’s also a good thing!
Wang Chen smiled and said: "Congratulations, sir, when will you have a banquet?"
Uncle Sun's old face was hot: "We are just making do with each other to live together, what kind of banquet are we going to have? You are overthinking it!"
Although he said this, there was unconcealable joy in his eyes.
Obviously, life is very comfortable now that I have a wife.
After the conversation started, Lao Suntou was no longer embarrassed and invited Wang Chen into the house to have dinner together.
Wang Chen politely declined.
He is a single dog and there is no need to disturb other people's family enjoying themselves.
Just that night.
Wang Chen dreamed about his family in his previous life again.
