The demon emperor doesn't want to be a white lotus

Chapter 24

Youjiu escaped from the ancestral mausoleum, and You Miao found Tonghua Village all the way according to the purple tung flower she left behind.

Tonghua Village is located in a remote place, beyond the boundary of Kelian Mountain City, and belongs to another city of the human race, Shugeng City.

Because there are mountains nearby, it is inconvenient to get in and out, and few outsiders come to the village on weekdays. Suddenly seeing two strange young people coming in and out, it is inevitable to take a second look.

What's more, both of them are handsome and talented, and they don't dress like ordinary people, which arouses the curiosity of the villagers.

You Miao's heart was in a mess. He looked at the villagers not far away who were secretly watching them, and then looked at the surrounding environment, and found that the sense of familiarity before entering the village had disappeared.

What exactly is this place?Why did You Jiu come here?

Just when the two of them were extremely puzzled, someone walked up to them on their own initiative.

The person who came was a middle-aged man. His face was sunburned and red due to years of hard work, but he had a simple and honest temperament, and he looked honest and upright.

Facing You Miao, he was a little cautious, "Young Master You? My house is vacant, and it's very clean. I'll take you to see it."

According to the tone, someone rented a house in the village, and informed the two of them in advance when they would come, so the owner of the house came out to greet them.

You Miao glanced at Xing Ji, and said to the middle-aged man, "You know I'm coming?"

"Yes, a girl has already given you the money for staying overnight, saying that the two of you will come to the village today, and let me pick you up."

You Miao guessed that this should be You Jiu's handwriting, straightened her expression, and asked, "What else did she say?"

Middle-aged man: "It is said that the two sons can live in peace of mind. When it is time to leave, she will appear."

You Miao was still thinking about it, and Xing Ji secretly sent him a voice transmission: "You Jiu must have a reason for doing this, why don't we follow her arrangement and see what kind of medicine she sells in her gourd."

"...Well." You Miao also wanted to know Youjiu's intentions, so he said to the middle-aged man, "Please lead the way."

"Go this way."

The middle-aged man introduced himself and said his surname was Dong, "It's good for the two gentlemen to call me Old Dong."

Old Dong rubbed his hands involuntarily when he spoke, and he could see that he was a little nervous, "Our house is an old house, a bit dilapidated, but it's clean and tidy, the two of you will take a look at it first, and if you have any dissatisfaction , let's discuss it again."

You Miao didn't care much about these, "It's fine if you can live."

His gentle attitude and soft-spoken voice made Old Dong flattered.

To be honest, the Dong family is not considered wealthy in Tonghua Village. The seven members of the family live in a few small houses, relying on him and his two sons to farm the land, and they can barely support the family.

At the beginning, someone said that they wanted to rent his house, but he was still not happy about it. Their family had too many people and few houses, so they couldn’t live in it at all. How could it be possible to free up an empty house for others to live in?

But the price offered by that woman is really too swaying, enough to ensure that their family will have a worry-free life for the next few years.

So they sat down together and discussed it before agreeing.

After the decision was made, the woman directly gave them a large sum of money, which was several times higher than the previously agreed price, which frightened them a lot.

At the beginning, they didn't dare to accept the money, but the woman left the money and left, and they couldn't return the extra part even if they wanted to.

Thinking of this, Old Dong looked at You Miao and Xing Ji hesitantly, "I wonder if the two young masters can do me a favor?"

You Miao: "Tell me."

Old Dong took out a cloth bag from his arms, looked around, and handed it to You Miao with shaking hands: "Please help transfer the money to that girl, she gave too much, we can't accept it."

The originally agreed price was already considered high, but some people in the village got the news from unknown sources, and they all said that their family had great luck and that the God of Wealth came, and they were envious for a while.

You Miao looked at Lao Dong looking at herself with a helpless face, and somewhat understood his thoughts.

It is estimated that I feel that there is too much money, and I don't want to take such a big advantage.

But give the money back to Youjiu...

He pushed back Old Dong's hand: "Since she gave it to you, you can keep it."

He felt that You Jiu was not the kind of person who would be short of money.

"This, this..." Old Dong's expression was tangled, a little embarrassed, he stretched out his hand for a long time and saw that the two of them really didn't intend to pick it up, and then slowly took back the money bag, "Then I'll take it first."

In fact, he secretly decided to give the money to the eldest son after returning home, and let him go to the city to buy some good food and come back, so that the two distinguished guests could live as comfortably as possible.

……

The situation of Dong's family is really not that good. Compared with other families in Tonghua Village, the place they live in is crude.

When You Miao and Xing Ji stepped into the small courtyard of Dong's house, they saw other people already waiting in the courtyard.

Two young people in their 20s came up to them, eager to help with packing their luggage, but when they saw that their hands were empty and their bodies were clean and tidy, they didn't bring any extra things, so they froze in place for a while.

Among them, the older looking man glanced at Old Dong first, then turned around and asked, "Two, don't you two have any luggage?"

Xing Ji and You Miao looked at each other, and replied with a smile: "We won't be staying for long, we will be leaving soon."

At this time, a boy ran in from outside the yard, and without seeing anyone in front of him, he bumped into You Miao's arms.

"Xiao Zheng!" The man was very nervous when he saw this, he quickly pulled the boy out of You Miao, and kept apologizing to the two of them: "I'm really sorry, the kid is playful and bumped into the honored guest."

"It's okay." You Miao still maintained the movement of hugging the boy, he withdrew his arm, and exchanged a look with Xing Ji, feeling very shocked in his heart.

The little boy is just an ordinary human, seven or eight years old, before he came in, You Miao had no sense at all, so that he didn't even have time to do a simple dodge.

Lowering her head, meeting the boy's curious gaze, You Miao blinked and smiled back.

"Stop standing outside." A woman with a kind face pushed Old Dong and reminded, "Don't you want to show the guests to the house?"

Seemingly noticing the look in You Miao's eyes, she smiled, "Chicken is stewed in the kitchen, if you don't mind, let's have dinner together later."

As the woman spoke, her smile became more and more kind. She didn't know what was going on, but she fell in love with You Miao when she saw him.

This kind of good feeling came out of nowhere, but it was not repulsive. Originally, it was just a business, but when they really met, she began to want to treat them well from the bottom of her heart.

It's like a mother seeing her child, always worried about whether he will eat or sleep well, and wants to take care of every aspect.

"Yes, yes, look at my memory!" Old Dong was reminded by his wife, patted his head, and motioned for the two to follow him, "Let's go and see the room."

There were no more than three or four small houses in the yard, and Xing Ji watched Old Dong stop in front of the biggest house, and asked him the question that had been lingering in his mind all the way, "Yes, isn't it?" Only one room?"

Old Dong turned around and didn't understand why Xing Ji asked, "The girl said that only one room is enough."

Xing Ji: "Is it because she thought there was only one person here?"

Old Dong shook his head: "No, no, the girl said that there are two people, and specially arranged for us to prepare a room to come out."

This room was originally vacated by the old Dong and his wife for the wedding room of the elder son. In the past two years, the elder son and his daughter-in-law have lived in it. This time, they unanimously decided to vacate it because they wanted to make the guests as comfortable as possible. .

Xing Ji: "..."

What should he say now?Thank you future mother-in-law?

You Miao held back her smile, patted Xing Ji on the back, pushed him in when Old Dong opened the door, and teased him: "It's just a room, what are you afraid of?"

Xing Ji immediately straightened his back, and smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, "I'm not afraid, you read it wrong."

Old Dong didn't notice the undercurrent between the two behind him, he handed the key to Xing Ji who was closest to him, and then went out, "You guys are staying, if there is anything, just call out the door."

The rooms are very close to each other, and a little louder sound is enough to wake up the people next door.

After he left, only You Miao and Xing Ji were left in the room. The two looked around. Although the room was simple, it was not unacceptable. At least everything was clean and tidy.

Sitting on the side of the bed at the same time, Xing Ji patted the only bed they had, and looked at You Miao who was beside him, "I'm looking forward to what my aunt will do now."

You Miao was startled by his address, turned her head, "Auntie?"

Xing Ji coughed: "That's right, I should be called Aunt."

"..." You Miao opened her mouth, showing a dumbfounding expression, she didn't know what to say for a long time, she simply covered her head with both hands, and lay down on the bed, "No matter what she wants to do, she should be grateful, Now I am in a pretty good mood, and I have the patience to play such a game with her."

"I see."

Xing Ji also lay down, tilted his head, and looked at You Miao without blinking. From his angle, he could see You Miao's towering nose bridge and eye feathers as long as butterfly wings... all Everything contained some kind of indescribable magical power, which firmly fixed his eyes on the person in front of him.

Just watching quietly like this, his heart melted into a ball of spring water.

You Miao turned her head when she heard the words: "What do you see?"

Xing Ji: "You're in a good mood."

It's been like this since he stepped into Tonghua Village. Although he didn't show it on his face, he can still tell it from some small habit details after years of getting along.

You Miao smiled, without denying it, obviously he himself didn't understand why.

He turned his head back, lay on his back on the bed, closed his eyes, and the room fell silent for a while.

Xing Ji looked at it, and in a strange way, he stretched out his hand, and lightly tapped You Miao's forehead, the skin under his hand was warm and cool, like fine porcelain, delicate and smooth.

You Miao was stunned by Xing Ji's sudden action, he opened his eyes and blinked twice quickly, and then stopped making any movements.

He didn't speak, and he didn't avoid it, he just looked at the roof with his eyes open, and his whole body seemed to be empty.

But Xing Ji knew that he was not distracted, on the contrary, his attention was now on the finger on his forehead.

There is no reason, he just knows.

This realization made his heart pound, he pursed his lips nervously and expectantly, slowly moved his fingers, slid from You Miao's smooth forehead to the bridge of his nose, and finally stopped on his lips.

Pressing lightly, the touch under his hand was unfamiliar, but it was as gentle and soft as a cluster of torches lit in the dark night, spreading to his entire heart.

The sound of the heartbeat seemed to overwhelm all the sounds in the world, Xing Ji moved his finger away, propped up his upper body slightly to cover You Miao, and kissed him tenderly.

The moment the two touched, You Miao's eyes widened instantly, he felt the warmth on his lips, he was stunned, closed his eyes again, and wrapped his arms around Xing Ji.

After getting the response he wanted, Xing Ji became excited and kissed more affectionately.
