Start from Liaozhai to brush the gods and demons alone

Chapter 31
White rice porridge, steamed buns, scrambled eggs with shallots and a plate of pickles.

The other is a pork knuckle in sauce, which took more than half an hour to prepare the sauce.

Granny Zhang prepared breakfast and went to the backyard to ask Zhang Yuner to eat. She knew that the girl who bought the elbow was still there, so she prepared an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks.

As a result, when I went to the backyard, the two of them sat on the bench under the tree, chatting very intimately.

"Mother, Sister Qingqing is one year older than me. She lives in Xixi Village and is brother Ranran's neighbor."

Zhang Yun'er pulled Gu Qingqing up and introduced it to the old lady Zhang. Gu Qingqing saluted and said: "Hi Auntie, I have a very good chat with Sister Yun'er. I hope Auntie will agree with me if I want to get closer in the future."

"Then come often, come often," Mrs. Zhang replied bluntly, but she was a little conflicted in her heart. "The meal is ready, let's eat first."

My daughter has such a virtuous and dignified girl as a friend, she can always absorb her wildness to a certain extent, and follow others' example to be a daughter's family.

But decades of social experience made Mrs. Zhang faintly feel that something was wrong.

She is Xu Ran's neighbor. When did Xu Ran have a neighbor with such appearance and cultivation?

Moreover, she has never visited the door to buy meat, why did Xu Ran visit the door early in the morning just after living at home for a few days?
Could it be that the pork...

Mrs. Zhang sighed in her heart, her daughter is too careless, don't get fattened and run away...

Gu Qingqing wasn't a pushy person, so he was not polite, and sat down with Zhang Yun'er hand in hand, and had breakfast together.

Granny Zhang wanted to test Gu Qingqing's intentions, so she casually said: "You guys had a lively chat just now, what are you talking about?"

"Mother, Sister Qingqing said that she has a Taoist book. Seeing that I am strong, she wants me to try to practice." Zhang Yuner said first: "I was thinking, if I can practice Taoism, I can go to Taohualing to kill Monster, avenge my brother..."

Hearing that Zhang Meng was avenged, Mrs. Zhang's eyes dimmed immediately, she lost all thoughts, and even the porridge in the bowl was bitter.

"Let's talk, I'm full."

She put down the dishes, got up and went back to the house.

Zhang Yun'er looked at her mother's slightly bent back, and said bitterly: "Mother, she is too pitiful, I must learn my skills and avenge my brother! Sister Qingqing, remember to go back and find a Taoist book."

Gu Qingqing put down the bowls and chopsticks, and comforted: "Sister Yun'er, don't worry, my sister has something to do during the day, and I will bring it to you in the evening."

……

The carriage galloped for a full day, and when the sun was about to set, it finally passed through Taoyuan County and entered Wanxi Town.

Xu Ran planned to report safety to Zhang Yun'er's mother and daughter first, settle down the residence of Lao Wang and the two, and take Lao Wang to the county government office to meet Zhong Xianwei early tomorrow morning.

Judging from the distance, Li Zhixian, who set off at the same time to ask the Dangmosi to come forward, may not be able to come back at this time.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the Zhang family's compound, and after paying the driver's fare, Xu Ran asked Lao Wang and Xiao Chunhong to get off the carriage, and tapped the door knocker.

"Who is it?"

Zhang Yun'er went over to open the courtyard door, and saw Xu Ran standing at the door, his clothes were lightly stained with dust, but his complexion was surprisingly good, for some reason, he looked even more attractive, "Of course they are back, hey, these two yes?"

"Sister Yun'er, this is the master I invited..." Xu Ran suddenly saw behind Zhang Yun'er, a candle was lit on the square table at the door of the house, and Gu Qingqing was sitting by the green lantern, looking at Zhang Yuner with a half-smile. To myself, "Why is she here, when did you meet?"

He really couldn't figure out how Zhang Yun'er and Gu Qingqing met in just a few days.

Since crossing, she has encountered all kinds of monsters continuously, which made Xu Ran feel extremely sensitive and caring about her, although she is not afraid or hostile to her who is a monster.

"Yun'er kills pigs and I buy meat, that's how we know each other."

Gu Qingqing smiled lightly and got up and walked over, "You miss your sister Yun'er so much, you didn't tell me before, so I can take care of you."

Xu Ran hurriedly said: "How dare you trouble Miss Gu."

Zhang Yun'er looked at Xu Ran, then at Gu Qingqing, "So you two knew each other a long time ago?"

"He's my neighbor."

"She's my neighbor."

The two replied almost in unison.

"Xu... Brother Xian... let's go to the inn..."

Lao Wang guarded Xiao Chunhong behind him, stuttering, obviously very afraid of Gu Qingqing.

This woman has a fairy aura, and the fairy aura is mixed with a faint monster aura, which is lighter than that of low-level paper figurines, but it gives him a strong sense of oppression.

Just relying on the instinct of the flesh to feel jealous.

In fact, Gu Qingqing had already noticed Lao Wang, this monk possessed strong Buddhist teachings, standing there gave her a strong sense of crisis.

But after careful inspection of his cultivation, it turned out to be vague and obscure, as if he was an eminent monk at the peak of the upper three realms, but also seemed to be inferior to the middle three realms.

This made her even more elusive about Old Wang, and had to be careful.

Xu Ran noticed the reaction of the two, knew what they were thinking, and quickly smoothed things over, "Let me introduce to you two."

He introduced Old Wang and Xiao Chunhong to Gu Qingqing first, "Miss Qingqing, this is the eminent monk I invited to go up the mountain to exterminate demons, and now he has returned to vulgarity, just call him Master Wang, and the beautiful woman next to him is Master Wang My confidante, Miss Chunhong."

Then he said to the two old Wangs: "This is my neighbor and good friend, Miss Gu Qingqing."

Afraid that Lao Wang would ask random questions, he specially emphasized, "It's Shikougu."

Lao Wang nodded slightly, Xiao Chunhong couldn't see the clue, smiled and said to Gu Qingqing and Zhang Yun'er: "In the future, we sisters can get closer and closer. I am a little older, so I will take advantage of it and pretend to be my sister."

Gu Qingqing said softly: "Sister Chunhong has a good appearance and temperament, no wonder Master Wang wants to return to vulgarity, I really envy my sister."

Old Wang really didn't want Xiao Chunhong to have more contact with the demon girl, so he said to Xu Ran: "My dear brother, how do you arrange the accommodation for tonight?"

At this time, Mrs. Zhang also came out, pulled Xu Ran to ask about the cold and warm, and Xu Ran hurriedly introduced Lao Wang and the two to him.

Hearing that it was a Buddhist master who came to avenge his son, Mrs. Zhang was about to kneel down and thank her, but was grabbed by Lao Wang, "You must not."

Xu Ran said: "My house is on the other side of the river, and the house is temporarily vacant. Although it is not big, it is also a single courtyard. It is better for the two of you to live in the past. It is also quiet."

Old Wang's eyes rolled, wouldn't he have to be neighbors with this terrifying witch?
This is not acceptable, both Lao Tzu and Xiao Chunhong can't sleep well.

Then he raised his nose and smelled it. It was the smell of pork knuckles that he had long cared about. He said to Mrs. Zhang: "Is there knuckles in the old man's pot? Xu Xiandi promised the old monk that I would help him get rid of the demon, and he invited me to drink it." How about my wife and I living in the backyard of your house instead of eating knuckles with shochu?"

Granny Zhang was naturally happy when she heard the words, and hurriedly asked Zhang Yun'er to clear the backyard.

Gu Qingqing glanced at Xu Ran, and said softly: "It seems that you have to go back to live, how about we go for a walk together?"

Mrs. Zhang quickly grabbed her and said, "If you want to leave, you have to eat before leaving. Is there any reason to let the guests leave before the meal?"

Zhang Yun'er did not let Gu Qingqing go, took her by the hand and said, "There are a few places in the cultivation method you taught me that are difficult to understand, and I still need to ask my sister for advice."

Xu Ran was taken aback, then looked at Gu Qingqing, "What did you teach her?"

Gu Qingqing smiled, "The fragments of the secret books handed down from the family are just gifts, not teaching at all.

You often go out and are not around. Sister Yuner is a girl, so it is always good to have an extra means of protecting yourself. "

Xu Ran nodded without answering.

He could vaguely hear what Gu Qingqing was implying.
