Chapter Seventy-Three: A Village in the Mountains

With green tiles and white walls, living near the water, this is a typical small village in the south of the Yangtze River. The fields on the side of the road are full of fruits and vegetables, with a little dew on them, which is very attractive to look at.

The village is quiet, except for the occasional duck call and the cheers of small children in the creek next to it.

In the war-torn era, such tranquility is particularly precious.

At the beginning of May, the weather has already started to get hotter. Little children are barefoot and playing in the creek. They're catching small fish, and crabs.

The children of poor families are in charge of the house, and although they are playing, they are also looking for food rations for the family. Don't look at the many fruits and vegetables grown outside their village, but they are not for them to eat. That's what they have to sell for money, and it's their main source of income.

"Dog, dog, I caught a crucian carp, it's so big." At the edge of a pool in the creek, a teenager shouted excitedly while holding a small crucian carp about three or two in his hand.

The friends heard the shouting and immediately ran over.

"Wow, that's big."

"Sanwa, you are so amazing, I have never caught such a big fish."

"There are such big fish in this creek."

The children are all yellow and thin, and they don't know how many patches they have on their clothes. But they look happy, happy from the heart. The little ones are really simple and cute tight, so easy to satisfy.

"Haha, I'm amazing, I'll ask my mother to stew fish soup for me when I go back. The milky and milky fish soup is fragrant and delicious. As he spoke, the child named Sanwa swallowed his saliva.

The children here don't eat a few bites of meat all year round. When they heard the fish soup, several children almost drooled.

"I'm also going to grab a big one, and let my mother stew fish soup for me." A child called.

"I'll go too."

"Wait for me."

The friends are in full swing, and the fish soup is worth their desperation. It's a pity that the reality is destined to be cruel, the fish in the water, and the small crucian carp, how can it be so easy to catch. It's already luck in luck that Sanwa can catch one.

However, although I didn't catch crucian carp, some small fish did catch a lot, and there were some crabs, snails and so on, and the children's harvest was still good.

"You can add vegetables at noon, I'm really lucky today, I didn't want to talk about small fish before, even crabs can't be found." A child said with a grin.

"If only it were like this every day."

A group of children were about to go home with their harvest, and they happened to meet the girls who had returned from picking wild vegetables. Most of these girls were the sisters and sisters of this group of little boys, so the little boys ran over one by one as if they were offering treasures.

The fastest runner was Sanwa, "Sister, you see I caught a big crucian carp, we can drink fish soup at noon." As he spoke, Sanwa held up the fish basket to his sister, with a very proud expression.

Sanwa's sister looked at the fish basket, which contained a lot of small fish, shrimp and crabs, and the most conspicuous was the largest crucian carp.

"So much, Sanwa is awesome."

When Sanwa heard her sister's compliment, she was a little embarrassed, and scratched the back of her head, "Sister, what kind of vegetables did you pick today?" ”

Sanwa's eyes glanced at her sister's small broken bamboo basket, which was covered with a tattered floral cloth, and she couldn't see what was inside.

Sanwa's sister said with a smile: "Today's harvest is big, not only wild vegetables, but we also found several bushes of mushrooms, and we have mushroom soup to drink today." ”

"Mushroom soup." Sanwa licked her lips, and the fresh mushroom soup was the most delicious.

"Look at your greed." Sanwa's sister said dotingly, "Okay, it's almost noon, let's go back early, my sister will stew mushroom soup for you." ”

"Uh-huh." Sanwa nodded vigorously.

The friends over there also shared today's harvest with their sisters and sisters, and they were all happy, and they could add food at noon. This is very rare for them, they have to help the family on weekdays, and rarely have time to go out and get something to eat. Not only did I get it today, but I gained more than I imagined, so how could I not be happy.

There are several ways back to the village, and the three children are on a small road on the left. The children were jumping around, and some sang some mountain tunes, so happy.

"Sister, look at that person." Sanwa's eyes lit up, and she saw a person coming towards their village from a distance. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, he was definitely not from their village.

The children also looked at it in unison, very curious. Their village is relatively remote, and there are not many people who come all year round. Outsiders are undoubtedly strange in the eyes of these children.

When they got closer, they realized that it was a woman. It's beautiful to wear, and it's even more beautiful. The white skin is like the snow they play in winter, like a hard-boiled egg with a broken shell, and people can't take their eyes off it.

They had never seen such a good-looking person, and they had heard from the adults that fairies were different from humans, they were very beautiful, and their skin was as white as the finest flour. Could it be that they have seen a fairy?

"It's so beautiful." Sanwa said.

"What a beautiful sister."

When the visitors saw Sanwa and a group of children, a smile appeared on the corner of their mouths, and the amazing beauty bloomed outside this small mountain village.

"Hello kids, can you tell me where this is?" The woman asked with a smile, the beauty of the country and the city.

"This is Qingshan Village." Sanwa's sister replied.

"It turns out that this is Qingshan Village, and the scenery is very beautiful." The woman said.

"Sister, are you here to find someone?" Sanwa's sister asked.

The woman replied, "I'm not here to find someone, I'm here to find a place." ”

"Sister, where are you looking for, I know everything nearby." Sanwa's sister said enthusiastically.

The woman said, "No, I think I've found it." But thank you very much. “

The woman took out a cloth bag from behind her like a trick and handed it to Sanwa's sister, "This is for you." “

"No, no, no, we can't ask for it." Sister Sanwa immediately shook her head. They didn't help much, so how could they ask for other people's things.

"Take it, one for each person." The woman stuffed the bag into the hand of Sanwa's sister, said goodbye and left.

By the time Sanwa's sister and the others reacted, the woman was gone.

"We're not going to see the fairies for real." One of the children shouted out"

"No, it won't."

"Let's see what's in the bag."

Sister Sanwa opened the bag, and inside were red fruits, which were peaches.

"It's a peach."

"It's so beautiful, it can't be a fairy peach."

Although the children are young, they have heard a lot of stories, and their imagination is also very rich, and they have discussed it with gossip.

And the woman in the topic of discussion is none other than our protagonist Xiyue. After leaving Shanghai, Xiyue came directly here to find something or a secret that was important to her.

As for Furong and them, Xiyue didn't kill them. Xiyue's immortal light purified everything, not only purifying the evil in their human nature, but also purifying their memories.

Xiyue implanted new memories and tasks for them, and the memories were very simple to be the memories of the cultivators they had tampered with, and the task was to protect the land of China. Of course, Xiyue will not let them directly go to the devil army, immortal cultivators are immortal cultivators after all, and they can't participate too much in the world. Otherwise, breaking this rule will attract the strength of the monastic circles of various countries, and it will be the people who will suffer.

Of course, Xiyue is not so great, and will do anything for the country. Defending Huaxia is one purpose, and at the same time, Xiyue is also to maintain the balance of the monk world. Furong and their are all the top monks in the monk world, and as far as Xiyue knows, there are not many in the entire Huaxia during the foundation building period. Killing five at once, Xiyue is nothing, but the Huaxia monk world will lose its balance.

It was already a war year, and if there was a loss of balance, the cause and effect would be great. For the country, the people, and oneself, it is better not to kill.

It's not that Xiyue is too kind, but that they are not much different from living and dead, or worse than death. They no longer have any memories of their predecessors, and in the future, they will only carry out the tasks implanted by Xiyue forever, which is equivalent to puppets. Or Xiyue, this is waste reuse.

As for Gu Liang, Xi Yue only erased some of his memories and made him loyal to the people. Xi Yue thought about killing him, but after all, she spent so much immortal energy to save him, and killing him was too much of a waste of her own effort.

Anyway, a mortal is just an ant-like existence, what difference does it make to kill or not.

Keeping him to resist Japan can be regarded as doing a good deed on the day of Xiyue and sharing worries for the country.
