There are always people who covet the immortal body

The next day, the sky was just bright, and the birds gathered in the forest outside the window, which was very lively.

A solitary early morning sky light cast on Qi An's sleeping face, his long eyelashes seemed to have a few grains of dust stuck in the sky light, flickering and flickering slightly.

All of a sudden, a warm hand patted his shoulder with neither light nor heavy force, just enough to wake him up.

Qi An opened his eyes, and saw a figure standing in front of the bed in a daze.The village head shouted, "Why are you sleeping here?"

Seeing that it was his father who came back, he rubbed his eyes hastily, propped himself up and got out of bed.He glanced at the village chief, turned in the direction, and signaled that there was a special situation.Although they can't speak, there is still a tacit understanding between the two of them for so many years.

Qi An strode towards his room, shaking Liu Jueming who was sleeping soundly while hugging the blanket.

Liu Jueming was sleeping soundly, and waved his hand impatiently: "What are you doing?" Then he changed his sleeping position and hugged the quilt even tighter.

Seeing that he didn't understand what he meant, Qi An had no choice but to say 'ahhh' twice.At this time, the village chief came in and saw a strange man lying on the bed with a seven-foot stature, he turned his head and asked Qi An while holding the bed post, "Who is he?"

At this moment, Liu Jueming heard the slightly hoarse and serious voice of the village head, opened his eyes quickly, and sat up suddenly.

The village chief turned his face and asked him, "Who are you? Why did you come to my house?"

Liu Jueming wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, smiled awkwardly but politely and said, "Well, I have to ask your son. You are his father, right?"

The village chief turned his head and glanced at Qi An who was standing silently beside him. After all, he couldn't explain clearly, so he had no choice but to give up.

Qi An has suffered a lot because of not being able to speak these years.

Seeing the situation, Liu Jueming moved to the side of the bed, with his legs hanging down, and while putting on his shoes, he said: "I am the concubine of Liu Baihu in Huai City, my family was in trouble, and I had no choice but to escape. There was a big fire, and the mountain passed out. If your son hadn't saved me, I'm afraid I would have been in trouble."

He stood up and stared into the eyes of the village chief, and patted Qi An on the shoulder: "This kid is a kind person, and he will become a great weapon in the future!"

After saying that, he smiled coldly, turned his head and went out the door.

The village head was dubious, and asked Qi An with a pair of surprised eyes: "Is he telling the truth?"

Qi An also only knew one thing, not knowing whether it was true or not, but avoiding the embarrassing situation, he had no choice but to nod.

But even so, the village chief turned around and went to catch up with Liu Jueming.

Liu Jueming was stretching at the door, and when he saw him approaching, he turned his head and pretended to be friendly and said, "Uncle, good morning!"

Unexpectedly, the village chief pointed at him, and said righteously: "Since you are fine, please go back where you came from. We are in a remote village, and I am afraid that we can't afford you."

The words of the village chief are still polite. These years, the world has been dangerous, the bandits have rioted, and the people are in dire straits.A while ago, Wang Po's family rescued a person out of good intentions and came back to give him food and drink. It turned out that the person was a troubled thug with a sinister nature and a fox-like cunning.After taking care of her body, she didn't know that Tu En didn't say anything, and raped the granddaughter of Huang Hua's family.After turning his house upside down, he took all the silverware and ran away.

People with noble status these days have to keep a back door and be careful not to cause those troubles, let alone the helpless mountain village residents.

Presumably the village chief also thought of this, and his attitude was so firm.

Liu Jueming's face darkened: "Oh, no, you are driving me away. How can you drive me away with hospitality?"

The village head was firm, thinking that this person had red lips, white teeth, and a rudimentary face, and he didn't look like a good person, not to mention that he was glib, and didn't look very serious.He pushed Liu Jueming and said briefly, "You go!"

Liu Jueming staggered and almost tripped over the threshold, when the donkey in the front yard suddenly yelled, as if mocking.

Qi An came out from the house, stood beside his father, and stared at Liu Jueming with a pair of calm eyes that didn't know what to do.

Seeing him coming out, Liu Jueming tried to trick him into saying: "Little dumb, it's not very good for your father to do this. Besides, I won't stay for long, two days, two days, right?"

"No, not even for a day!" The village head looked stern, looking extremely unfriendly.

"Hey little mute, you are showing it, otherwise how would your father know that you want to keep me?"

Qi Anqing glanced at the village chief, not begging, but 'whatever you say'.It's not that he doesn't want to keep Liu Jueming, but speaking of it, with his looks, Liu Jueming is not popular, it's just that he is defeated by his incomprehensible personality.What's more, the majesty of the village chief is so strong, what can Qi An dominate?After all, he is his father.

And these two people stood together, their solemn expressions were very similar, there was no woman in the family, and the father and son lived together and no one was close to anyone, so their personalities naturally became withdrawn and weird.

"Okay, let me, Liu, miss you, and leave!"

Seeing that they were both standing on the same line, Liu Jueming was willing to bow down, so he had no choice but to stop brazenly begging for her.He turned around and walked away, Qi An suddenly waved and shouted, motioning him to wait.

Liu Jueming turned his head: What, you don't want me to go?late! "

Qi An didn't mean that, he turned around and went back to the house to give Liu Jueming an old umbrella, his lips were furious, he looked cold and warm at the same time.

Indifference is Qi An's natural hostility, which expresses his attitude towards this not-so-good world.Warmth is the kindness revealed in his bones, and the two coincide with each other.

Liu Jueming raised his head and looked at the sky, the sky was turning blue, with dark clouds approaching, it might rain soon.He reached out and patted Qi An's shoulder: "You have a heart."

After finishing speaking, he gave the village head a cold look, and walked away.

Watching his back walk out of the path in front of the house, Qi An turned around and opened the gate of the chicken coop, and together with the village head, he untied the sack from the donkey and started a busy day.

After two days, the autumn leaves on the back mountain turned yellow, and there was a rustling sound after the wind blew up.

After eating at noon, Qi An took a hook and a bamboo basket and walked along the gravel road in the back mountain to the chestnut forest.

It is said to be the back mountain of Fulu Village, but in fact there are several forests at the foot of the mountain.The branches and forests are dense, and people who are not familiar with the route can easily get trapped in it and cannot get out.

The rain this year is not bad, the crops are good, and naturally the chestnuts are growing solid.Qi An found the chestnut tree, under the tree was full of prickly shells and dead branches and leaves.This forest was left by the ancestors of the village, and the whole village can use it for resources. At this moment, it seems that the chestnuts have almost been picked.

Qi An held the hook to bloom the fallen leaves, bent down to look for chestnuts.Some are attached to the shell, which is inconvenient to pick up, so you have to not be afraid of being pricked, and use straw sandals to step on the two petals, and the chestnuts will naturally pop out.Qi An liked to pick up chestnuts and eat chestnuts most since he was a child, but in recent years the woods have died, and there are only a few big trees left that bear fruit.What's more, everyone in the village is coveting these fruits, and there are very few who can get them.

Fortunately, I was lucky this time and picked up half a basket.

He picked up the basket, raised his head and wiped his sweat with his sleeve.There is a stream at the foot of the back mountain. The water is not strong. It flows from the distant "Huxin River". It can be drunk directly.

Qi An walked towards the stream, and there was a pool with a big atmosphere, the sun was shining everywhere, and it was crystal clear.When he was a child, he used to hide there whenever he got into trouble with his father, and he also liked to hide there when he didn't do farm work because of laziness.

He can sit by the pool and put his feet into the cool water, and the small patterned fish will swim around his feet, scratching him until it itch.You can also lie on the stone bank and sleep listening to the sound of the stream and birdsong; you can also take off your clothes and soak in the water, just like a fish swimming.

The place was his, it was all his.

But now that I’ve grown up, I don’t have the willful thoughts I had when I was a child, because I realized that many things cannot be hidden. Even if you hide for a long time, when you return, you still have to face those things that make you want to escape. Reality.

Qi An put down the basket, squatted on the bank, took some water to wash his face.Looking at the sparkling pool, he wanted to stay for a while, but remembered that he had to bring back the grazing cattle before the sun set, so he stood up again and left with a bamboo basket.

But as soon as he entered the forest, he smelled a faint smell of smoke, as if someone was burning something not far from here.Qi An remembered the fire on the hill in front of the village a few days ago, so as not to repeat the same mistakes, he sniffed the smoke to find the source.

So after walking for a while, beside a big camphor tree, I saw thick smoke rising.The thick smoke came from the front of an abandoned thatched hut.At the same time, Qi An also smelled the fragrance.

He slowed down, stared at the thatched cottage, and walked forward quietly.Seeing a person sitting cross-legged on the ground with his body on his back, a fire was built in front of him, and he seemed to be holding some kind of food roasting in the fire, that's where the aroma came from.

Qi An picked up a stick casually, thinking that if that person was doing something wrong, he would go straight up and kill him with a stick.

But when he got closer, he felt that the back and the clothes looked familiar, especially the clothes. Although the clothes were covered with dust, the small round patch in the middle of the back was extremely conspicuous.

Isn't this your own clothes?

At this time, the man probably heard the movement, and turned to take a look.

"Little dumb?"

Qi An sighed softly, and threw the stick away.That person was the man who was picked up by him a few days ago - Liu Jueming.

Maybe it was because I didn't know the way and walked into the forest, and couldn't get out.And he was holding it in his hand, wearing it on a bamboo pole, and it was a wild pheasant that was being roasted by the fire.

Liu Jueming said: "We are destined for each other, we always meet."

Qi Qian pretended not to hear it, and walked over to look around the thatched cottage, probably built by the previous night hunter.He walked to Liu Jueming's side and asked in his heart, "You sleep here at night?"

"That's right, otherwise, I said that this poor place of yours doesn't even have a clear road, and it's all secret roads. I can't get out after going around for a long time, so I can only live here first."

Thinking of this, Liu Jueming became angry. He was kicked out first, and then got wet all over. The broken umbrella fell apart when the wind blew, and it was useless at all.Originally thought that Lord Yunhua would come to look for him, but for a few days, there was no sign of that guy.

Qi An saw that he had the smell of a wild man in the mountains all over his body, and only the handsome outline of his face was so dirty.He felt a little sympathetic, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only look at Liu Jueming quietly.

Afterwards, Liu Jueming brought the roasted yellow pheasant to the tip of his nose and sniffed, "It's almost there!" He turned to Qi An and said, "Do you want some? I just caught it after chasing it all morning. , The pair of broken shoes you gave me are lost." He said shaking his bare feet that were scratched by stones.

Qi An shook his head.

"Forget it if you don't eat, I will eat it alone."

Liu Jueming stretched out his hand to unscrew the pheasant's drumstick, and sniffed it vigorously with the tip of his nose: "It's really delicious." It seemed to be showing off the good chicken he roasted.

Qi An: "Why don't you stay at my house for a while, it's not too late to leave after you think about where to go."

Liu Jueming refused while chewing chicken legs: "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't want to live under the same roof as your old-fashioned father. What's more, I can't even eat meat in your house, and I can eat game here." The only thing missing is wine." He sighed: "Hey, before, there was always wine to drink, but now I can't even eat enough."

Qi An: "There are so many wolves, tigers and leopards in the back mountains, aren't you afraid?"

"There's nothing to be afraid of. Jackals, tigers, and leopards are no match for me."

Qi An sneered: "I really want to help you. Seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, how can you sleep soundly in this mountain?"

Liu Jueming was indeed panicked by the cold fog at night for the past few days, and he didn't get a good night's sleep.Thinking of this, he didn't want to be stubborn anymore, so he had to compromise: "You go back first and get your father's consent before persuading me. I don't want to be kicked out a second time."

Immediately, Qi An glanced at him again, then turned and went back.
