Without the bus, Xia Qi and Leng Yue could only choose to walk hard, but fortunately, the rest of the journey was still within their acceptable range, and after walking for a night and a morning, Xia Qi and they finally arrived at the terminal of the bus.

At the terminal of the bus, Leng Yue said that it was a village called "Tongbei", and there were many people in the village, about 1,800 families.

When Xia Qi and Leng Yue entered Tongbei Village, it was just in time for the market of Tongbei Village, and there were not only people from Tongbei Village, but also several surrounding villages, which could be described as very lively.

Xia Qi has been living in the city since he was a child, and he has hardly seen a long line of markets, so he feels like he is out and about this time.

"On the 1st and 20th of every month, the surrounding villages would come here for the market, and when Master and I lived together, we would come here every time there was a market to buy something.

You can buy some apples here, but if you don't get enough, you'll be hungry in the next few days. ”

Leng Yue looked at Xia Qi, who was looking around with interest, and couldn't help but stop him, pointing to the fruit stall not far away.

"It's rare to come out with you once, don't you even offer a meal?"

Even if Leng Yue doesn't need to say it, Xia Qi also knows to prepare some food for himself, after all, as early as when he was on the bus, the apples in the luggage bag were almost eaten by him, and he was worried that he didn't know what to do.

The market was full of people, so it was not lively, and Xia Qi went to the fruit stall and found a lot of things he could eat.

What strawberries, red apples, tomatoes, cherries, etc., Xia Qi asked for a lot of each, especially apples, he bought the most, and directly got a big bag.

The originally shriveled duffel bag bulged again, and Xia Qi was carrying two large bags in his hands. The mood is gradually getting better again.

After solving the problem on his side, Xia Qi accompanied Leng Yue to find a food stall and sit down to eat something.

Grabbing a handful of sour cherries and putting them in his mouth, Xia Qi chewed and said to Leng Yue, who was eating noodles:

"It's nice to live in a small village. It is much more atmospheric than living in the city, and when there is a market, it is full of local customs. ”

Xia Qi finished speaking with emotion, and seeing that Leng Yue didn't take care of herself, she asked again:

"What are we going to do? It is to rest in the village and rest before walking. Or do you want to keep going after eating? How long is it from you? ”

"There are no hotels in the village, so we don't stay overnight here, and we will continue on our way after eating, and we should be able to walk for more than half a day."

Leng Yue finally replied to Xia Qi, but this answer made him a little disappointed, because he wanted to rest here before leaving.

After Leng Yue finished eating, the two started their trip again, and walked through Tongbei Village on a path into the mountains.

Although the mountain road was uneven and a little narrow, I don't know how much easier it was than the mountain road they walked when they went to Hulu Village.

There are many trees in the mountains. To Xia Qi's surprise, they didn't see much of a trail of felling along the way.

According to Leng Yue, this is because the people in Tongbei Village know that if you cut down trees excessively, it is likely to cause a mudslide in the event of heavy rain, and Tongbei Village has its back to the bottom of the mountain, and once a mudslide occurs, it is the village that will be most affected, so the village has a clear ban on going up the mountain to cut down trees.

The firewood used by the villagers is straw picked up from the geography in autumn, as well as some tree branches. It is more than enough to use it as a fire for cooking.

"This Tongbei Village looks quite backward, but I didn't expect the concept to be quite advanced, which most people in the city can't do."

After listening to Leng Yue's explanation, Xia Qi couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"The people in the village are very simple. When my master was still there, he also took me and the people in the village around. ”

Leng Yue's eyes were a little reminiscing, obviously thinking of his master again at this moment.

"Is your master harsh on you?"

Xia Qi rarely asked about Master Leng Yue before, for fear that Leng Yue would ignore him, but more because he didn't want Leng Yue to become sad.

But this time they came back to worship together, and it was inevitable that Leng Yue would miss his master. So he doesn't have so many worries.

Leng Yue also gave him face this time, shook his head and said:

"Although Master is not smiling, he is not a very strict person, but when I am learning the technique, he will occasionally supervise a few words by his side."

"No wonder you are so taciturn, it turns out that your master is also this kind of person, and it is really not a family that enters the door."

When Xia Qi said this, he saw that Leng Yue was looking at him with a murderous gaze, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said:

"Your master is a figure at the level of the manager of the underworld, so it stands to reason that he should be very strong in magic, but you have studied with him for so long, why haven't you reached his level yet?"

"What Master taught me were the most basic techniques, because some of them were not mastered by ordinary people, and could only be obtained by those who joined the underworld.

Although Master and I live in a Taoist temple, in fact we are not Taoist priests, because there is no one living in the Taoist temple here, so my Master packed up and moved in after occasionally discovering it.

He is a man who likes quiet and hates the hustle and bustle of the city. ”

"It seems that you are really similar to your master, but it is really good here, and it feels like returning to nature."

Speaking of this, Xia Qi couldn't help but think of something Chu Mengqi had mentioned to him:

"Does your master want you to join Hades?"

Hearing Xia Qi ask about this, Leng Yue's face suddenly showed guilt, but he didn't avoid it, shook his head and said:

"I was by Master's side when he left, and he told me more than once that I must not join Hades, and I must not think about avenging him.

But...... I didn't listen to him, against his will. ”

Leng Yue's mood became depressed after speaking, Xia Qi felt that he had asked another question that he shouldn't have asked, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, but he had to obediently close his mouth, so as not to inadvertently hurt Leng Yue again.

The two of them have not rested for a day and a night, and it can be said that they have been on the road non-stop during this period, so whether it is Leng Yue or Xia Qi, they are a little tired physically.

"Stop and rest before you go."

Xia Qi didn't want to be in such a hurry anymore, and shouted Leng Yue, who was walking in front.

Leng Yue turned around and saw that Xia Qi had already found a big stone to sit on it, he also nodded symbolically, and also leaned against a tree to rest.

It's just that they haven't rested long before they hear a scream coming from the front abruptly. (To be continued.) )
