Thanks for the invitation: In ancient times, people shared children

Chapter 123

There are more than a dozen young people in the village.

The startled birds on the roof flew towards the distant mountains and forests.

It has been a long time since so many people came to Wuxiangshen Village.

These young men claimed to be descendants of immortals and distributed medicinal herbs to prevent and treat epidemics to them, so they were treated as guests of honor.

On a sunny day after a rain, the villagers entertained these guests from afar in the open space in front of the shrine.

Each family brought food, and the children also brought food.

They didn't eat or drink much, and looked very luxurious. They didn't seem like the same kind of people as Meng Yunhe at all.

But they weren't as annoying as Cui Ang and the others. They asked and answered questions, and the atmosphere was quite lively, so the children didn't have a bad impression of this group of people.

Especially that young master Jiexing, he was very handsome and spoke very nicely. Although his expression was a little cold, he gave candy to the children, and his chin did not raise up, but stayed where it should be, which did not make people want to cut his throat.

The child liked him somewhat, but he was a bit like Cui Ang, so this liking was complicated.

Anyway, he was not willing to give up the room, so the result of the accommodation issue was that Meng Yunhe went to sleep with Old Man Li.

Chang Xiaoyu and Cao Ping shared a room.

Hu Shanniang and Zhuier originally lived together, only the child and Waiya each occupied a room.

Even with more than a dozen people living there, it was still a bit crowded, so only three people stayed. Cui Jiexing had a room to himself, and the other two disciples shared one. The others went to stay with the villagers.

There didn't feel any difference with the three more people, except that they rejected Meng Yunhe's plan, which made them a little uneasy.

These people never leave their swords when they go out or come in, they don't look like they are here to play.

Everything was peaceful for only three days. On the fourth night, the child suddenly woke up from his sleep.

It was the sound of Cui Jiexing and the others leaving that disturbed her.

She herself was surprised.

Is she such a cautious person?

She thought she didn't care at all about having a few more people in the house, she was just embarrassed to sleep until noon every day.

She got up quietly, opened the door and went out. Just as she was about to call for help, Cui Jiexing, who had already walked to the door, suddenly turned around and looked sharply in the direction of her on the second floor.

At that moment, the child felt as if he was being stared at by something very dangerous, but in that instant, he saw the person clearly, and his eyes softened, or it would be more appropriate to say that they relaxed.

"Why are you up, fellow Daoist?"

"Where are you going?"

The child tore off a talisman from the railing. "If I remember correctly, this is a soundproofing spell, right?"

This is really a question.

However, to those with a guilty conscience, it may sound a bit distorted.

Someone behind him couldn't help but mutter, "How could he be caught red-handed?"

Another person said, "Could she have heard something?"

"How is that possible? That was the talisman drawn by Senior Brother Jiexing."

This is very small, but the child heard it, and Brother Jiexing may have heard it too.

The child's eyes became more suspicious.

"Fellow Daoist, please don't be suspicious..."

Cui Jiexing had just bowed when the child screamed at the top of his lungs, "Help! Help!"

She shouted twice, lowered her head and looked at the talisman in her hand again: "Fire!"

She screamed and ran to check if there were any talismans elsewhere.

They were a bit stingy, and only put them on the railings and stairs on the second floor, and one on the door downstairs.

The child tore them off one by one, rolled them into a ball and threw them on the ground. Then, with his hands on his hips, he asked angrily, "Why are you still awake in the middle of the night? What are you doing? What's so shameful? Why don't you let us hear it? Why are you putting up so many talismans?"

Behind her were seven people who were equally puzzled, but they did not attract any villagers because there were also talismans pasted on the fence and the door.

Meng Yunhe, who was wearing a fire-avoiding talisman and holding a wooden basin, was completely confused but subconsciously defended them, "Fellow Daoist, please don't speak loudly. There must be some misunderstanding here."

"What kind of misunderstanding is this? I've caught the criminal red-handed!"

The child also doesn't like to study, and has a sense of freedom in using words as he pleases.

Waiya folded her arms in support of her: "Just tell me, why did you put up the talismans? Are you planning to steal something and frame us?"

Just like they threw eggshells outside Chang Xiaoyu's house.

Cui Jiexing: ...

"My fellow Taoists, you have misunderstood. We were hoping to lure the Formless True God to appear. The reason we didn't tell you was because... you were asleep, and we didn't want to disturb you."

"Bullshit!" the child said without thinking.

Waiya: "We are asleep, not dead. Are you really saying you won't call anyone?"

Chang Xiaoyu: "Did you come up with this idea on the spur of the moment? Why didn't you tell us earlier or later, but waited until we were asleep? What are you embarrassed to say?"

Hu Zhuier: "Sister, he takes us for fools."

Old Man Li: "Alas... You are so young, why do you love to lie so much?"

Hu Shanniang was quite understanding: "Alright, alright, don't worry, Fellow Daoist Cui must have some compelling reason."

She said this as she walked in front of the crowd, turned around and muttered softly, "You're so stupid to keep scolding me."

What's the point of going there empty-handed? What if they call us?

That makes sense!

Everyone suddenly realized and used local materials.

Those who need to remove the railings do so, and those who need to remove the windows do so.

The child snatched the big basin from Meng Yunhe's hand and stuffed it into Waiya's hand, then hid behind Meng Yunhe.

"Protect me, and forget about the tooth."

Hu Shanniang turned around gracefully, but her speed clearly showed that she didn't want to expose her back to them, and she took out the kitchen knife that was tucked away at her waist.

She is reliable and has hidden a knife early in the morning.

The three people from the Cui family were silent.

Finally, someone said, "Don't blame my senior brother. We were afraid that you would get in the way, so we asked you not to say anything."

"Ah, that's it..."

"Say earlier..."

"How do I fix this window..."

The children didn't take it seriously at all, and at most asked, "What on earth are you doing?"

But Meng Yunhe is not so good.

He seemed to have lost his soul, completely dumbfounded. When his eyes caught sight of Cui Jiexing's evasive expression, he suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, it's in the way! It's in the way!"

He chewed these words with gritted teeth.

The frightened child hiding behind him quickly ran away.

Meng Yunhe's expression was bright and dark, sometimes smiling, sometimes angry, sometimes sad, sometimes angry again, and finally all these emotions disappeared and returned to calm.

"I never want to see you again."

He pointed at Cui Jiexing woodenly and uttered these words, then turned around, jumped into the windowless house, walked quickly inside, pulled down another window, jumped over the backyard fence, and fled into the vast night.

Everything happened smoothly and seamlessly, and just... happened.

Child: “Where is he going?”

Cui Jiexing's expression was also complicated. "A place without me."
