Chapter 425 It's Better To Be Calm
Hu You and Ximen Yufeng came out from behind the Buddha statue and saw dead bodies all over the ground, but they were not as bloody as Hu You expected. Nothing happened to break his hands and feet. Most of them were killed with one knife or forced to break their necks.
"You are just dying for us." Hu You bowed to more than 20 corpses. Although these people were not necessarily willing, they were considered life-saving benefactors after all.
Hu You looked outside the door and found that the rain was still falling, but it was a little lighter. It was supposed to be avoiding the rain for a while, but the situation here was really not a place for people to stay. Instead of being with the corpse here, it would be better to go out and get wet in the rain.
"Let's go." Hu You held Ximen Yufeng's hand and walked outside the ruined temple.
"Do you think that Nan Rong will still be nearby?" Ximen Yufeng was a little worried. The force shown by Nan Rong was really terrifying.
Hu You shook his head and said, "I don't know this, but looking at his anxious look, he shouldn't be staying nearby for a long time. An anxious person has a characteristic, which is that he would rather run without a uselessness than sit in the same place and do nothing."
Ximen Yufeng nodded in agreement. She had heard a prisoner's theory before, and it was also said. People who have psychological problems often find it difficult to calm down. They always run around habitually in order to seek peace of mind.
Hu You did not go in other directions, but walked the road he had come before. In all directions, he might meet Nan Rong. Only this road would be unlikely to meet him. Because few people would run and turn back. Nan Rong lost his son-in-law's sword, and he would not be in the mood to play with any reversal thinking. He is probably no longer able to have the normal thinking.
This time we walked smoothly. At 10:00 am, they walked into a small village. The administrative districts of the Mandala Empire were divided into three poles, cities, towns, and villages, urban management towns, and town management villages.
However, this management is very loose because it is managed by the Military Affairs Commission, and there are no local officials and civil servants. Those big men only care about how much tax they earn, and do not do the people under the official position.
The situation in the city and town is relatively better. As for small villages, they basically let them live on their own. Most villages are not even able to see any official shit except for the days when tax collection.
This village doesn't even have a archway, and Hu You don't know what it is called. He won't stay here for long, so Hu You can't even ask for such useless things.
The village is not big and there is no inn, so it is a bit troublesome. They are all people who lead troops to fight. They don’t sleep for a day or two, so there is no problem, but they are mud and sweaty on their bodies. It’s really uncomfortable not to wash and change clothes.
"Let's find a villager to borrow a room, take a shower, and have some rest at the same time." Hu You said to Ximen Yufeng.
Men Yufeng had long been very unhappy with her sticky appearance, but she had never lived like this without an inn, so she didn't know what to do.
Of course, Ximen Yufeng cannot be allowed to come forward when borrowing a house. Hu You looked around and found a very large house and took action in person.
Leaving Ximen Yufeng in place, Hu You walked over and knocked on the door knocker.
"squeak"
The door was divided into two parts, and an old man walked out. The old man looked up and down at Hu You and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Hu You saw that the old man's tone was OK, and thought he should be a good person to talk to, so he said with a smile: "This old man invited me. This is the thing. I went back to my hometown to visit relatives. Last night, I suddenly rained heavily and shocked my horse. I walked all night and was hungry and tired, so I wanted to lend you a good room to have some rest and drink water. I don't know if the old man can do it."
Hu You try to use the most elegant words to express his purpose. There is a point in borrowing. You must not make people think you are a bad person, and you cannot spend money at the beginning. Those who have a house to lend you no shortage of that amount of money. If you can't make them feel good about it, they will not lend you a room. A private house is different from an inn, and you can't live in a money-free place.
The old man looked at Hu You again, and Ximen Yufeng whom Hu You pointed to, and felt that these two men were gentle and beautiful, not very much like bad people. Although the clothes on their bodies were a little dirty, they were not bad in nature. It seems that they encountered difficulties when going out. It is true that no one has any difficulties. I helped someone today, and someone will naturally help you another day.
The old man made a decision and said, "Okay, the little old man happens to have an empty room, so let's lend you a moment."
"Thank you, thank you so much." Hu You bowed his hand repeatedly, then took out a gold coin and put it in the old man's hand, and said, "I have an unspoken thing here, which is considered to disturb the old man's little bit of his heart. Please don't postpone it."
The old man thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, come with me."
The old man took Hu You and the others to the room and went there by themselves. There was a bed and a table in the room, which was quite good. Hu You looked around and suddenly had a little mistake and sat down at the head of the bed.
"Hu You, what's wrong with you?" Ximen Yufeng found something wrong with Hu You and hurried over.
"It's okay, they are fighting inside. No, I can't stand it anymore, I have to sleep first." Hu You lay on the bed after saying that. He hasn't been in the eyes for many days, and has just experienced such a fierce battle. He also has two things that have been protecting each other and fighting in his body. It would be strange if he is not tired.
"Hu You, Hu You..." Ximen Yufeng shouted worriedly, and then she felt at ease.
"Bang bang bang"
There was a sound of knocking on the door. Ximen Yufeng opened the door. It was the old man who borrowed the house. He was holding some food in his hand, and it seemed that he was here to deliver food.
The old man said, "I guess you two are hungry after walking all night. There are some food here, so you can use it casually."
Ximen Yufeng took the plate and thanked him: "Thank you, my uncle."
The old man smiled and shook his head and said, "No thanks, by the way, what about Ling Hu."
"He has already fallen asleep. Is there anything wrong with the old man?" Ximen Yufeng's face was slightly red, but her heart was sweet.
The old man said, "Oh, nothing is wrong. I just want to tell him that there are two bamboo tubes in the bathroom in the room, and there are hot water and cold water on them, which you can use as you like. But it is the same to tell you."
Ximen Yufeng nodded and said, "I understand, old man, I'm really troubled you."
"No trouble, you can rest."
After seeing the old man leave, Ximen Yufeng returned to the room. She smiled at Hu You who was already asleep and put the plate on the table. She is not very hungry now and decided to take a shower first, and wait for Hu You to wake up before eating with him."
Hu You was too tired and took a nap. After only about twenty minutes, he got up. He heard the sound of water faintly and knew that Ximen Yufeng was taking a shower, so he didn't bother her.
After drinking a sip of tea, Hu You sat on the bed, trying to use his inner vision to see the condition of his body.
In the dantian, the Blood Axe and the Prince Consort's Sword were spinning, but they still refused to give in to each other, but the Blood Axe was a little bigger than the Prince Consort's Sword. It seemed that it had already gained the upper hand. After trying the force, it had recovered a little, but not much, and it was not enough to fight with Nan Rong again.
Hu You thought to himself: I don’t know if it’s because it doesn’t belong to this world. This body strength often has a problem, and it seems that it’s a bit unacceptable to the local environment.
Hu You didn't know at this time that neither the history of Tianfeng Continent nor the records of Forgotten Continent had come out of a person's body, and two magical artifacts could exist at the same time. If his body had not been transformed by the Red Snake in the Snow and the Light and Shadow Fruit, he would have died suddenly at this time.
"You're awake." Ximen Yufeng walked out of the bathroom with the water droplets on her hair. She took a shower happily, and it was really good.
"Well" Hu You looked at Ximen Yufeng with a daze. Although it was not the first time he had seen him, every time he saw Ximen Yufeng look after she came out of the bath, Hu You always found it difficult to remove his eyes.
"Idiot, what are you looking at?" Ximen Yufeng spat at Hu You, reached out and pulled the clothes on her body better.
"So beautiful." Hu You sighed intoxicatedly.
"I just know how to make people happy." Ximen Yufeng gave Hu You a pretty look and asked, "How do you feel? Have your body recovered?"
Hu You sat down at the table: "I have recovered a little, but it may take a few days to fully recover."
Seeing Hu You trying it around in the meal with a silver needle, Ximen Yufeng couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"
Hu You poked the silver needle into the flesh, pulled it out, looked at the end of the needle and said, "You should not have the intention to harm others, you should not be careful when you are away.
Ximen Yufeng nodded and said, "You are right, but I think the old man is pretty good."
"Well, it's hard to get bad people in the small mountain village. Let's eat, we've been hungry for a day."
"Um."
After using the meal, Ximen Yufeng took a shower and returned to the bed. Both of them were very tired and did nothing. They hugged each other and fell asleep. This nameless village gave them a very safe feeling, allowing them to sleep with peace of mind.
As soon as I woke up, it was dusk. A red sun was setting in the sky. Hu You and Ximen Yufeng opened their eyes almost at the same time. Hu You felt a little embarrassed to see it, and Ximen Yufeng closed her eyes again.
Hu You smiled, kissed Ximen Yufeng's little face, and asked gently: "Did you sleep well?"
"Well," Ximen Yufeng squeezed into Hu You's arms and said, "It's great, I haven't had such a good sleep for a long time. It's so quiet and comfortable. I've been here, and I've almost forgotten everything. No foreign race or coalition forces have any meaning. Can we stay here for a few more days and not leave so quickly."
This is the first time Ximen Yufeng has made a request. Although there are still many things to do, Hu You still agreed to her. She has been running around in the past few years, so let him take a break.
"Oh, you have already gotten up, are you leaving?" The old man who was fiddling with flowers and plants, saw Hu You and Ximen Yufeng coming out, his eyes lit up again. He had thought Hu You and Ximen Yufeng were like golden boys, and now he has not changed into clean clothes, which is even better than before.
Hu You came to the old man and bowed respectfully: "Old man, discuss something with you. My uncle and I think that your place is very good. If you want to stay for a few more days, I don't know if it's okay."
The old man said generously: "Then what's wrong? If you couple like it, just live there. Anyway, I am the only old man in this room."
Hu Youqi said: "Ling Gong'er, aren't his daughters at home?"
The old man shook his head and said, "They all went out to explore the world. What do they say they wanted to do a career and come back."
Hu You said: "It is good for young people to do a career. Now it is a chaotic world and it is time for heroes to emerge. Maybe in a few years, they can return to their hometown."
"Oh," the old man sighed and said, "So what if you return to your hometown? The true meaning of life is still plain. It is better to be calm than to be vigorous and vigorous."
Hu You thought the old man was quite philosophical, so he sat down and chatted with the old man. During the chat, Hu You knew that the good man was also surnamed Hu, and he was still the same family. So he changed his words to the old man Hu Bo.
There are many unique opinions in Hu Bo's words, and he has his own ideas about things and people. It can be seen that he has also seen the world. Hu You even guessed that when he was young, he might have been an official.
Before we knew it, the sun had completely set, the birds returned to the forest, and the smoke from every family was rising.
"Look, this is how people get older. As soon as the topic is opened, I will talk about it. It's dark this day, and you two are hungry, let's go and cook for you."
Ximen Yufeng said: "Let me give me a meal."
Hu You said in surprise: "You can cook?" Hu You knew Ximen Yufeng for so long, but Hu You never heard that Ximen Yufeng could cook. What would it be like to hold a gun and a spatula? Hu You was really looking forward to it.
Ximen Yufeng looked disbelief and hummed, "Don't look down on others, do you think your only Fuchen can cook? Today I will let you see how my craftsmanship is."
"You are also aware of how to cook?" Hu You looked at the big iron pot that was knocked straight towards by Ximen Yufeng with a little heartache. The hand holding the gun really stopped the spatula, which was a unique charm. But the iron pot was not so good. I hope she wouldn't break it.
"Oh, let it go." Ximen Yufeng hurriedly threw the vegetables into the pot. The sound of the spatula hitting the pot head sounded: "If you don't help, you will make things difficult for others."
Hu You looked at the terrible tomatoes and asked indefinitely: "Are you scrambled eggs with tomatoes?"
"You can see it, how about it? Is it good to sell it?" Ximen Yufeng was a little proud.
"Yeah, it's pretty good." Hu You really couldn't bear to tell Ximen Yufeng the truth. With this level, it would take at least two years before he dared to claim himself.
Ximen Yufeng snorted: "What kind of expression do you have? Why don't you try it?"
Hu You shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, no. I'm making it even more messy."
Ximen Yufeng giggled and said, "How is it? Are you scared? Go clean the table quickly, you will have something to eat soon."
There are a lot of dishes tonight, but they can be called good, basically none. They are often either salty or light, or there is no anti-salt as compared to the original. Some dishes can no longer remember the reason.
Uncle Hu was not picking, and he swept all the food. He also praised Ximen Yufeng's good craftsmanship from time to time, which made Ximen Yufeng full of confidence and kept yelling that he would make it tomorrow.
Hu You really doubted whether Mr. Hu had no taste. Some dishes could be said to be delicious. I was so sorry for his stomach. It was not until when Ximen Yufeng was not paying attention that Mr. Hu secretly smiled bitterly to Mr. Hu You realized that Mr. Hu turned out to have a taste. It seemed that Mr. Hu didn't have many good people in the Hu family. Everyone had their own tricks to deceive others.
After dinner, Hu You accompanied Ximen Yufeng on the path in the fields. The breeze gently stroked the rice fields, bringing waves of golden rice. It seems that this year will be a good harvest.
"Hu You, thank you." Ximen Yufeng held Hu You's hand and suddenly said affectionately.
Hu You was a little confused and said strangely: "What do you thank me?"
Ximen Yufeng opened her hands and took a deep breath of the air full of rice fragrance and said, "Thank you for bringing me here. Do you know, today is the happiest day for me in so many years. The tranquility here makes me not need to think about strategies, tactics, formations, and intrigues. This is really good.
This is the life I have always dreamed of living, and today I finally made me live. I am very happy. Thank you, really."
Hu You really wanted to tell Ximen Yufeng that if there were no strategies and tactics, arrangements and intrigues, the tranquility here might be destroyed by foreigners in a few days. But thinking about it, Hu You still didn't say it, just let her dream do for a while.
Hu You smiled and said, "As long as you like it, we can live such a life forever."
"Really?" Ximen Yufeng's eyes lit up, like a little girl, looking forward to such a life. Then, she giggled again: "But you won't like this kind of life."
"Huh?" Hu You looked at Ximen Yufeng. He thought Ximen Yufeng would say that he was an ambitious person and could only die in a prosperous and vigorous manner, not willing to be calm.
The answer given by Ximen Yufeng was not this. She smiled proudly and said, "Because the tomatoes are pasted, the fried rapeseed is salty, the Bazhen Soup is forgotten to put the fried tofu in others, and the fried tofu is broken... Hahaha, there is nothing, you are happy to eat. How can you live such a life?"
Hu You suddenly realized and asked Ximen Yufeng to play with her. It turned out that she knew better than anyone else what the things she made looked like.
Ximen Yufeng's smile turned into a touching touch again: "Although this is the case, you still finished eating everything. I am really happy. Thank you for letting me truly experience the life of an ordinary woman. I will always remember today's. Hu You, kiss me."
