The country road was narrow, and the four of them stood and looked at the girl.
The breeze blew, and the girl smiled shyly, her braids swaying to the sky, and the buffalo lowered his head to eat a handful of grass from time to time.
There are farmers wearing bamboo hats in the rice fields in the distance, looking around from time to time.
Lin Bai and others could see clearly that the girl was just an ordinary person and had no cultivation at all. As for the buffalo, it was not a monster with enlightened intelligence.
The gray rabbit in the girl's arms is also an ordinary hare. Its ears stand high and it is gnawing a small radish.
However, no one dares to be careless. After all, this is the former residence of the Taoist master. Although the master of Xuanyin was only in the divine realm at that time, it should not be underestimated.
The four of them briefly transmitted the message. Pei Ning and Sun Yuqing were behind, and Lin Bai and Wang Qiu were in front.
"Where do the guests come from?" The girl approached on a bull, her voice was crisp, and she tilted her head and looked at Lin Bai and others curiously.
"Come from the East." Lin Bai replied.
The girl frowned slightly and glanced at Dongfang, as if she was thinking about what kind of ghost place Dongtu was.
"Little guy, what's your name?" Sun Yuqing smiled and took out a juicy peach and threw it over.
"My name is Yue Qingqing." The girl took the peach and felt the aroma before eating it. She put her arm around the rabbit and gnawed on the peach, "It's so delicious!"
"Little girl Qingqing, let me ask you, where is this place?" Sun Yuqing stepped forward and asked with a smile.
"This is Niujia Village." Yue Qingqing said.
"Niujia Village..." Sun Yuqing was a little confused, thinking, isn't this a small world? She stepped forward, touched the buffalo horn, pinched the girl's face, and boldly lifted the rabbit ears.
"Nothing can be faked. The spirit and soul are all there. There is absolutely no forgery." Sun Yuqing sent a message to Lin Bai and the others.
"What do you do?" The girl Yue Qingqing took a bite of the peach meat, spit it in the palm of her hand, and thoughtfully brought it to the rabbit's mouth.
Sun Yuqing shook his sleeves to indicate that he was a Taoist.
"The guy pulling the cloth? Where's the goods? Why don't you carry the burden?" Yue Qingqing looked curiously into the distance.
Sun Yuqing knew that it was unreasonable to talk to this girl, so he asked: "Who is in charge of Niujia Village?"
"It's the village elder and Lord Rabbit!" Yue Qingqing said.
"..." Lin Bai and Peining looked at each other, each covering their foreheads.
Sun Yuqing was also stunned, but Wang Qiuki was still calm and said kindly: "Who is Mr. Rabbit?"
"It's the old god!" Yue Qingqing lowered her head and fed the rabbit with fruit pulp without looking up.
As soon as he said this, everyone knew that it was time to pay a visit to the rabbit master.
"Can you please lead the way, little friend?" Wang Qiu said together.
"What?" Yue Qingqing didn't understand and looked at Wang Qiuki curiously.
"I want you to take us to see Master Rabbit." Lin Bai said.
Yue Qingqing responded and patted the cow's head. The buffalo immediately turned around and walked forward slowly without driving it away.
The four of them followed, and Sun Yuqing asked casual questions again, but Yue Qingqing was young after all. She knew how many people in the family and how many acres of land there were, but other things were messy.
Along the road, farmers in the fields on both sides looked curiously, and some bold ones even came over to chat.
"Our village has not seen outsiders for hundreds of years. Where do the guests come from?" asked an old man carrying a hoe.
Sun Yuqing saw that the farmers here didn't know they were in a small world, so he just said that they were travelers who entered here by mistake and wanted to visit Lord Rabbit.
After walking for a while, I talked to a few people, and I felt that the people here were unprepared and extremely honest. Seeing Sun Yuqing's liveliness, she actually wanted to play matchmaker for her.
A dozen children even caught up with them, buzzing around the four of them and asking questions. After knowing that Yue Qingqing had obtained the peach, the children also begged for it and even offered loach cicadas caught in the field in exchange for it.
Sun Yuqing was very generous. He divided the peaches among everyone and asked everyone their names.
The people in Niujia Village were either named Yue or Rabbit, but not a single one was named Niu. "Grandpa said that everyone named Niu is dead." An older child explained.
The four of them entered the village and found that it was unusually tight.
There were probably more than two hundred households gathered, and about a thousand people. There is no mysterious place, there are people of all ages, they are all ordinary fireworks.
Sun Yuqing specially looked for an old farmer with white beards to ask about the story, but he couldn't tell the story clearly, so he only asked the village elder.
After a while, a middle-aged man came looking for him.
This man's attire is different from the others, much more respectable, not a peasant's attire.
"Four distinguished guests." The middle-aged man bowed his hands and saluted, "I am a rabbit, and the village elder asked me to treat you to distinguished guests."
Seeing that they finally had someone to talk to, Lin Bai and others were not in a hurry to see Lord Rabbit, so they followed the middle-aged man to see the village elder.
Perhaps it was something new in the village. Not only did a group of children follow, but adults also followed. Some old men simply followed with small stools, as if they were going to a market.
Walking deeper into the village, I saw an osmanthus tree in the middle, which was held in the arms of five or six people. It was probably a hundred feet high. The crown of the tree was broad, and there were no houses or tiles beneath it.
The branches of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree are full of sweet-scented osmanthus flowers, which have fallen all over the ground. The fragrance is strong and refreshing.
Lin Bai and the other four stopped and looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree from a distance.
"Just now we were looking from a distance on the top of the mountain, but we didn't see such a tall tree!" Sun Yuqing said in a message.
The four of them had seen the first mysterious thing since they came here, but they didn't know why. Even Sun Yuqing and Wang Qiuke, who had experienced a lot, couldn't figure it out.
Sun Yuqing did not dare to go forward, so Lin Bai stopped the rabbit and asked about the origin of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.
"When my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather was alive, there were osmanthus trees." Tu Fuxing spread his hands, "I don't know when the tree grew. I heard it was planted by immortals."
Having no choice but to see clearly, Lin Bai and Wang Qiu went forward together, with Sun and Pei behind.
When I came under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, I felt that the tree was even taller. Looking up, the yellow flowers hang densely among the green leaves, like endless stars in the starry sky. If you stare for a long time, you will feel dizzy.
Seeing naughty children climbing up the tree, Lin Bai and Wang Qiu also reached out to touch the trunk.
For a moment, I didn't feel anything strange, just ordinary trees.
Although the spiritual energy in the village is thin, the sweet-scented osmanthus tree has probably been growing for thousands of years. It should be able to condense some spiritual energy and even give birth to spiritual wisdom, but it is no different.
A group of villagers followed, and one woman broke off the sweet-scented osmanthus and threw it to Lin Bai. Seeing this, the others also took some sweet-scented osmanthus flowers and gave them to Lin Bai and Wang Qiujie.
There were also men who sent Sun and Pei as gifts.
"What does this mean?" Lin Bai asked Su.
Tu Muxing smiled and said: "It is custom in the village that osmanthus is a token of love. If someone gives osmanthus and another person accepts it, we will be a family from now on, and no one else can disturb us anymore."
Wang Qiuchi quickly threw away the sweet-scented osmanthus he was wearing.
Sun Yuqing shook off the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers from her body. She laughed loudly and grabbed Wang Qiuke with one hand and said, "Senior brother, you are not allowed to refuse people's kindness!" With the other hand, she grabbed Lin Bai's sleeve and said with a smile, "Brother Zhuanlun, hurry up and choose a few!"
Pei Ning smiled and waved the osmanthus flowers off her body, but Lin Bai picked the osmanthus flowers himself and gave them to Pei Ning.
Pei Ning glared at Lin Bai, then took it and put it in the sachet at his waist.
The children also clapped their hands and laughed, and the adults were also very happy, as if they had never seen such a rare thing.
Sun Yuqing chuckled while stroking his hands, smiled at Tu Fuxing and said: "I'd like to trouble you to arrange a place for me to fall down!"
"It's easy to talk about." Tu Fuxing agreed with a smile.
"If you want to buy sweet-scented osmanthus wine, it would be great if you have sweet-scented osmanthus wine." Lin Bai said with a smile.
"Of course there are." Tu Fuxing agreed. (End of chapter)
