There are always people who covet the immortal body

The sky is getting darker and the stars are getting brighter.

The mountains are quiet, with occasional barking of dogs and crowing of chickens.A dimly lit oil lamp was set up in each home, and the dim light shone through the windows.

The fuel oil is squeezed and filtered from the fruit of the 'tung tree'.This kind of vegetable oil is not easy to solidify, pour it into a small dish, put two or three wicks in it, and it can burn all night.

Qi An finished the meal and went to the room to see if the man was awake.But the man was still lying with his eyes closed, snorting steadily.He was surprised to find that the other person turned over at some point. He was lying on his back in the afternoon, but now he was lying on his side.

He knelt down and poked the other person's face with his fingers.

The man didn't move at all.

Qi An found that he looked extremely good-looking even in deep sleep, not like ordinary people in the market.He couldn't help but look from the man's face to the neck, and then to the arm exposed outside the quilt.

Suddenly, the man moved his finger.

Qi An's heart trembled, and then he saw the other's eyelids move, and then slowly opened them.

He stood up and stood aside in embarrassment, not knowing what to do.

Men are not like patients who have been in a coma for a long time. After waking up, they will be full of weakness.The first thing he did after opening his eyes was to stretch his limbs, and then he yawned, as if he had had a good night's sleep.

He sat up, looked at Qi An who was stunned aside, and asked, "Are you a mortal?" Then he realized something was wrong, so he changed the way of asking: "What place is this?"

Qi An couldn't speak, and he didn't falter or cry out.It wasn't until the other party asked him what his name was that he opened his mouth to show that he was dumb.

The man moved his neck unhurriedly: "It's a dumb." He suddenly lifted the quilt and got out of bed, stood up and felt a chill, and then realized that he was completely naked, very white and clean.

Surprised, he grabbed a corner of the quilt to cover his 'unsightly' place.Qi An came to his senses, hurried to find some clean clothes and handed them to him.

So it was convenient for him to put on his clothes shamelessly in front of him.Knowing his presumptuousness, Qi An turned around and walked to the door frame.

After the man put on his clothes, he lowered his eyes and looked around.The sleeves were short, the two buttons on the chest could not be fastened, and the trousers were also short. He said: "The clothes are a little small, but they are still clean." He walked up to Qi An: "Is it yours?"

Qi An nodded, and was surprised to see that the other party didn't have the slightest intention of admitting his life.

The man asked again: "You just haven't told me what your name is."

Qi An frowned, and read his own name in his mind, but he was even more surprised. The other party clearly knew that he was dumb, so why did he still ask? !

At this moment, the man stroked his messy hair and said, "Qi An? That's pretty sweet, my name is Liu Jueming."

Qi An stood there in shock, thinking that he could speak again, so he opened his mouth to hesitate, but found that it was not the case.He looked at the man with startled eyes, and it was unbelievable that the other party could know what he was saying in his heart.

That man was originally the god in charge of time in the sky, he was called Nanxing Xianjun, and Liu Jueming was his alias when he was a mortal.He accidentally let go of the "spirit dove monster" because he was drunk, and was demoted to the mortal world by the emperor of heaven, and went through immortal calamity.

Liu Jueming gave him an indescribable look, and then put on the appearance of a big shopkeeper shaking his hands: "Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry!"

As soon as the words fell, Qi An opened his mouth as if waking up from a dream, and wanted to express something, pointed one finger in the direction of the kitchen, and said in his heart: "The meal is ready in the kitchen, I'll bring it to you."

Liu Jueming nodded: "Go ahead, I'm sorry." His eyes were still beaming with pride.He casually took a thin bamboo hairpin from the window sill, turned around and pulled up his long hair. After shaping his head, he looked like a handsome young man and a prodigal son.

Qi An waved at him with a smirk, telling him not to be polite, then turned and went to the kitchen.

After Qi An brought out the food and put it on the table, Liu Mingjue stretched out his hand to brush over the flame of the oil lamp, and when he withdrew his hand again, the flame suddenly became brighter.

Qi An saw this scene in his eyes, and his eyes widened in shock.He has been staying in Fulu Village since he was born, and the farthest place he has been to is the 'City Town'. He still wonders, is it possible that those jugglers that people say are so magical? !

Liu Mingjue ignored his curious gaze, glanced at the radish and vegetables on the table, and exclaimed in disgust, "Just eat this?"

When he was in the sky, he usually ate whenever he wanted, and he would not be hungry if he didn't eat for a few days.After being laid down in the mortal world, he became a mortal body, and without his fairy bones, he only had some trivial skills.Ordinary people are very hungry, three meals a day is the safest and most embarrassing eating arrangement.

Qi An knew what it meant, after all, the other party didn't look like an ordinary person, how could he eat such clear soup with little water.He hurriedly turned around and went to the kitchen again. This time, he brought out a plate of scrambled eggs, full of fragrance and very tempting.

Liu Jueming looked at the plate of scrambled eggs in front of him, his eyes lit up, he raised his finger and said, "That's the real deal, I'm a guest when I come to your house, right? The way of hospitality, what's wrong with you?" There is a talk about eating green vegetables and radishes."

Qi An hesitated, could it be that the other party didn't realize that he saved him?

After tasting the scrambled eggs, Liu Jueming asked again: "Is there any wine? I heard that you are very good at brewing wine among the people. I haven't tasted it for many years."

Qi An shook his head.The wine brewed last year was taken out and sold, and all the money from the sale allowed me to buy more pens, ink, paper and inkstones.Now is the season of autumn brewing, and the hoarded wine will have to be cellared for several months before it can be drunk.

Liu Jueming sighed, "Hey, it's boring without wine."

After all, there will be no more moths, and I will eat his meal with my head down.Now it is a mortal body, it is really impossible not to eat it.

Qi An looked at him carefully from the side. It was obvious that the starving ghost would have survived, and others would have devoured it long ago regardless of the appearance of the food, but he was still able to eat it so freely and with great relish.

Fascinated by watching, Liu Jueming felt the gazes on him, looked up while chewing the food in his mouth, and asked: "You eat too, don't just stare at me, can I still fill my stomach?! "

Qi An glanced at the bowl embarrassingly, staring at the bowl in his hand, causing the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables one after another, making him seem a little cautious.

There is a large temperature difference between day and night in the mountains, the sun is still hot in the daytime, and it is filled with cool fog at night.The yellow-walled tile-roofed houses are not resistant to moisture, making people feel that the surroundings are wet.Liu Jueming brushed his untied but drooping temple hair, and wiped off the last piece of scrambled eggs.

"I didn't expect you to look small, but your cooking skills are not bad."

He ate and drank enough and began to rub his belly and chatter.

Qi An came over in a daze, and realized that what he meant by "looks small" meant that his face was young and immature.Poor children in the mountains help their families with work and prop up a piece of land since they were young. It is natural for them to mature early, not to mention that they are already adults at the age of 17.Qi An had long forgotten that he was still a child.

And the village head is a very strict father, even for a well-behaved and sensible child like him, he was often beaten when he was a child.why?Most of the time it was because the work was not done well, such as spilling beans or forgetting to feed the chickens. If this is the case, a beating is absolutely inevitable.

What's more, Qi An was overwhelmed at that time, because he was born without the careful teaching of his mother, so he often did heart-warming things.A few years ago, he became dumb, and only then did his personality change drastically.

But being strict is strict, the village chief still thinks about Qi An, knowing that he is born with the ability to read and write, and a few years ago he thought of a way to let him go to the town's school to study for a year.Later, the school tuition fee increased, so I returned home to help the farmers, but the expenses such as pen, ink, paper and inkstone have never stopped.

Qi An raised his eyes to look at Liu Jueming, showing a tiger-toothed smile.

At this time, someone knocked on the door outside the house and shouted "Little Brother An".

Without thinking, that is Xu Dunzi at the entrance of the village.

Qi An got up to open the door. Xu Dunzi stood at the door with a bowl of dumplings: "My grandma's birthday is today, and my sister made dumplings. She heard that someone is coming to your house, so she asked me to send a bowl."

As Xu Dunzi said, he glanced sideways at Liu Jueming who was leaning against the table meditating, and said happily, "He's awake?!"

Qi An nodded and led him in.

Xu Dunzi handed the dumplings to Qi An, his eyes fixed on that handsome man.Most of them were surprised that people who were still looking dead in the afternoon did not expect to be able to eat and drink in the blink of an eye.

He said hello: "Why are you wearing brother An's clothes, the size is too small."

Liu Jueming has never put children in his eyes, which is also related to his many years of immortality.I thought that the people I dealt with were all gentlemen, and I haven't seen a young boy for many years.What's more, if his age is based on mortal theory, he would already be thousands of years old.

He beckoned to lure Xu Dunzi to his side, and patted his soft face: "Little friend, what delicious food did you bring? Let me see."

After hearing this, Qi An brought the dumplings that were going to be taken to the kitchen to him.Liu Jueming glanced at it, frowned and asked, "What is this?"

Xu Dunzi said, "You don't even know dumplings? Have you ever eaten them?"

Facing the ridicule from the people in the mountains, Liu Jueming sneered disapprovingly: "I'll try it!" After saying that, he raised his hand to pinch it, put it in his mouth and chewed it twice, and his brows frowned even deeper: "Why are they vegetables again? Doesn't this place even have meat?"

Qi An stared at a pair of aggrieved eyes and slowly shook his head.

Xu Dunzi said: "It's good to have green vegetables to eat. In a few days, there will be a pest attack, and there will be no green vegetables."

The poultry and livestock in the village are also taxed, not to mention that sometimes people can't eat enough to eat, so how can they care about the big appetite of those livestock.Throughout the year in the village, it would be nice to be able to open meat a few times.In addition, there will be droughts and locust plagues every year, so the survival rate of crops is not high, and there are infectious diseases such as plague. It is a good thing that almost every family can manage their food and clothing.

What's more, Fulu Village is located in a desolate place, and it is not considered a good mountain or river.

Liu Jueming swallowed the dumplings, waved his hand to signal Qi An to stay away.

Seeing his extremely disgusted expression, Xu Dunzi curled his lower lip: "When I walked in, I saw that you were full. Why do you want to eat more? Aunt Wang's pigs are not as much as you."

Qi An secretly laughed after hearing this.Liu Jueming raised his eyes and said, "You kid, you speak so freely, how can you compare me to a pig."

"Why not, eat and sleep, eat and sleep, almost, I guess you will have to go to bed and lie down in a while."

Liu Jueming made the little slippery man laugh angrily, after all he had let the other party see through his mind, he was really going to lie down on the bed for a while.So he pretended to be helpless and said, "Go back to me."

Seeing that he was so blocked that he could not speak, Xu Dunzi stuck out his tongue triumphantly and went out.

After Qi An closed the door again, Liu Jueming stood up and straightened his back: "I'll go to sleep for a while, call me if you have something to do."

As soon as the words fell, Qi An grinned his little tiger teeth again.
