Chapter 246 Strange Villagers
At night, Huo Xingchen's body temperature began to rise again, but it was not high enough to take antipyretics.
Gu Qingyin barely slept all night and kept cooling him physically. It wasn't until dawn and Huo Xingchen's body temperature stabilized that she lay next to Huo Xingchen, with her head against his small shoulder, and fell asleep in a daze. On fire.
Huo Yunjing, who was leaning against the wall, got up at this time. He got out of bed lightly, walked to Gu Qingyin and covered her with a quilt. He stood there and looked at the mother and son for a while before turning and leaving.
The door closed and a sigh sounded in the room.
When Gu Qingyin opened her eyes again, it was already bright outside, and she was the only one left on the bunk. She was startled and quickly got out of bed and went out. When she saw Huo Xingchen squatting in the courtyard talking to Dongfang Lingjun, she suddenly felt relieved.
After standing there for two seconds, she walked over and asked, "What are we talking about?"
Huo Xingchen raised his head and met Gu Qingyin's reaching hand, "You don't have a fever anymore? Have you taken your medicine this morning?"
Huo Xingchen responded obediently, "I've eaten and it's ready." He looked at the thing in Dongfang Lingjun's hand again, "Grandpa is teaching me how to identify plants."
Dongfang Lingjun smiled, "The Huo family master brought them back this morning. There are many kinds, some of which are edible." He pointed to the half-person-high water tank in the courtyard, "The water has also been brought back, go and wash up." < br>
Gu Qingyin responded and touched Huo Xingchen's head again, "Learn slowly."
After washing up, Gu Qingyin drank a carton of milk for breakfast.
Upon seeing this, Huo Xingchen ran into the kitchen and came back with a bowl of vegetable porridge.
Gu Qingyin was surprised, "Where did the rice come from?"
Huo Xingchen shook his head, "I don't know."
Dongfang Lingjun next to him said: "The one I picked up at the door in the morning is just a small handful, just enough to make porridge."
Gu Qingyin understood. It was probably sent by those children yesterday.
"This small handful looks like it was made from scratch. There is a lot of sand and soil mixed in it. Even us, no one else can wash it clean." Dongfang Lingjun shook his head, "It is really difficult for ordinary people to live without water. .”
Just this rice, if they have water to cook it, they won't give it to others so easily.
Gu Qingyin finished her porridge, washed the dishes with a talisman, and sat in the yard making paper figurines.
Not long after, Gu Ziqian and Huo Yunjing came back. Gu Qingyin glanced at it and asked, "Where is Qiu Yan? You didn't come back together?"
The two men looked at each other and said, "She is not with us."
Gu Qingyin paused, and Dongfang Lingjun's expression also changed.
Gu Ziqian calculated it and sat on the small stool next to him with a slightly relaxed expression, "Don't worry, nothing happened."
Dongfang Lingjun breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression was still very serious, "Why is this child running around? He must be educated when he comes back later."
Gu Ziqian smiled, "She is in her twenties and a powerful formation master. Are you still afraid that she will be bullied by a group of ordinary people who don't have enough to eat?"
Dongfang Lingjun shook his head and sighed, "Dayan is soft-hearted. I'm afraid she will be deceived."
"I'll go take a look." Huo Yunjing turned around and left again.
Dongfang Lingjun quickly thanked you, "Sorry to trouble you."
Huo Yunjing waved his hand and went out again.
Huo Xingchen rolled his eyes, stood up and chased after him, "I'll go too!"
Huo Yunjing paused and turned to look at Gu Qingyin questioningly. Huo Xingchen hasn't gone out since he came here, and Gu Qingyin can't restrain him, so she can only nod helplessly, "Please take care of me."
Huo Yunjing shook his head, took Huo Xingchen's hand and went out.
Gu Qingyin felt relieved, lowered her head and continued to make paper figurines.
Dongfang Lingjun looked at the door from time to time, and later he simply went to the door to wait, like an old father looking forward to his children coming home early.
Gu Ziqian watched Gu Qingyin's movements with great interest, and after a while he suddenly asked: "Who did you learn this skill from?"
Gu Qingyin kept her hands on her hands, "When I was a child, my master would always tie up small animals with paper to coax me to play with them. The more I saw them, the more I wanted to do them. The more I did them, the more I wanted to innovate. I learned it without knowing it."
< br>
Gu Ziqian praised, "Very talented."
Gu Qingyin smiled noncommittally. The most important thing she lacked in metaphysics was her talent. She really knew everything, but there were some things she just couldn't find the interest to do.
"I really envy your master for finding such a suitable disciple." Gu Ziqian sighed in a half-hearted way.
Gu Qingyin came up with an idea without hesitation, "When you get back, you will spread the news about recruiting disciples, and ensure that talented people in the entire occult world will come to sign up. If there are too many people, you can also hold a competition, which is just right." There are so many people who can examine the character and qualifications of future apprentices, and you will definitely be able to find one that suits your needs.”
Gu Ziqian choked. Was there something he couldn't think of and why he had to find an apprentice to make him angry? There was no need for him to mention this topic, he had nothing to do.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The courtyard finally became quiet, with only the sound of Gu Qingyin concentrating on making paper knots.
After a while, Gu Ziqian narrowed his eyes and looked at Gu Qingyin suspiciously. Did she say that on purpose? Did he bother her?
On the other side, Huo Yunjing and Huo Xingchen found Zhang Qiuyan in front of the ancient tree in the center of the village. At that time, she was helping the children mend the holes in their clothes.
Looking at the brand-new needles and colorful thread spools, they are obviously not things found in this village.
Huo Xingchen was shocked that someone actually brought needle and thread with them when they went out! What kind of strange requirement is this? In today's society, there are probably fewer people who have needlework at home.
Is this why she hasn't returned to the yard even after being out all day? It's a bit too abstract.
At this time, Zhang Qiuyan, who was addicted to sewing, had just finished the work at hand. When she looked up, she saw a large and small child not far away. She was slightly startled, handed the clothes in her hand to the children waiting next to her, got up and walked quickly passed.
"What happened?" Zhang Qiuyan was a little confused, but she couldn't help but be happy that Huo Yunjing came to her.
Huo Yunjing shook his head and said truthfully: "Senior Dongfang is very worried about you, so he took Huo Xingchen out for a walk."
Zhang Qiuyan was not disappointed. Instead, she yelled and said with a smile: "Then you continue shopping, I will pack up and go back."
Huo Yun nodded but said nothing.
Huo Xingchen looked up at him, "Aren't we leaving?"
Huo Yunjing whispered: "She is being targeted. Send her back to the yard first."
A trace of surprise flashed in Huo Xingchen's eyes. He quietly observed the surroundings and discovered that there were indeed a few men who had been looking at Zhang Qiuyan intentionally or unintentionally. If this was not the center of the village and there were a group of children around, they would have been there long ago. Just take action.
This group of villagers is really strange. They are so cruel that they can eat human flesh to satisfy their hunger, but they also strangely care about other people's opinions and feelings?
Zhang Qiuyan quickly packed up and said goodbye to the children with a smile, saying that she would come again tomorrow.
When he turned around and saw that they were still there, Zhang Qiuyan was surprised for a moment, but soon he laughed happily and walked quickly to them, "Go back."
