Chapter 266: Unique Light

The sky cleared up. After Shi Zelan cleaned the thatched roof, she was about to sit down when she sensed people coming up the mountain to collect herbs.

She jumped down and walked to the edge of the mountain to see what was happening below. She saw three people picking herbs on the mountainside.

"Third brother, you were so frightened this time, why don't you stay at home and rest for a few days?"

"Oh, stop talking. You made an appointment with me to come here to pick herbs after the New Year, and I didn't want to go to that mountain to take a look.

My mother and my wife were making a lot of noise at home, so I thought I'd just take a walk nearby so it wouldn't interfere with anything. ”

"My cousin's wife and my third cousin's wife are both straightforward people. If we talk it out, we can get along well in the future."

"On the night I came back, my mother and the wife in my family were very nice.

The next day, the two started arguing.

My mother said that the woman in my family had a bad heart and wanted to harm me. She forced me to go to the mountains to look for medicinal herbs, and I almost lost my life. ”

"Ah, Third Brother, your mother has a strong temper. Can Third Sister-in-law bear it?"

"My wife used to be willing to tolerate my mother, but since my son has become more and more intelligent, my wife no longer tolerates my mother."

Shi Zelan sat down directly at the edge of the mountain. It turned out that when the men started gossiping, there was no room for the women to speak.

After the herbalist left, Shi Xiaoliu sat next to Shi Zelan, looked at her and smiled: "Did you hear any interesting news?"

Shi Zelan told him the news she had heard, and Shi Xiaoliu laughed after hearing it: "You should not listen to too much news about this."

Shi Zelan wrinkled her nose at him: "Xiao Liu, I'm just listening to the fun."

Shi Xiaoliu looked at her and said, "Tomorrow, shall we go down the mountain for a walk?"

Shi Zelan smiled and said, "Okay."

The next day, they came down the mountain and happened to see a market going on in the town at the foot of the mountain. It was crowded and lively.

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan squeezed in the crowd, walking from the beginning to the end of the street. After they squeezed out, they didn't want to squeeze in anymore to watch the fun.

The tea stall on the side of the street was doing a booming business. Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan ordered two bowls of tea and listened to the customers talking about the collapse of half of the mountain.

"I heard that the man was blessed by his ancestors. When he was about to go down the mountain, he heard his ancestors calling him and went to the other side, saving his life."

"My cousin's sister-in-law came home and said that this man has a good temper and can pick herbs, so the family lives a good life."

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan exchanged glances, put down the coins on the table, and left the tea shed.

At this moment, there seemed to be fewer people on the street, so the two of them went back into the street and carefully looked at the things being sold on both sides.

Unfortunately, after looking around, they couldn't find anything they could use, so they ended up buying two bunches of fresh vegetables.

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan walked back, and along the way they met many people riding ox carts and walking.

The two of them mingled in the crowd and heard some strange stories about the area where half of the mountain had collapsed.

Gradually, there were fewer and fewer people traveling the same distance. In order not to attract attention, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan had to walk into a small path beside the main road.

"Hey, that big brother just now is so good-looking. I forgot to ask him if he is engaged?"

"I don't think I've seen these two brothers before. Could they be people living in the mountains?"

The sound of their conversation gradually faded away, and Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan turned out from the path.

Shi Zelan looked at Shi Xiaoliu and laughed: "Brother Xiaoliu, strangers are concerned about your marriage."

Shi Xiaoliu glanced at her and said, "Let's go quickly. They have already passed the foot of the mountain we are going up."

The two of them then quickened their pace and walked forward, their figures were very fast.

The people coming up behind on the ox cart were surprised and said, "It's already this hour, and there aren't many people going back yet."

"There should be someone ahead, uncle, please ask Lao Niu to walk a few steps faster so you can come back and pick up some customers later."

The driver said nothing and continued to move forward slowly.

The passengers in the rickshaw also felt the driver's unhappy mood, and at this time they did not dare to urge him to go faster.

When Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan were walking up the mountain, they already felt that there were people on the mountain.

The two of them looked at each other and decided to turn in another direction and take a walk in the nearby mountains.

They changed direction, and the people picking herbs on the mountainside also changed direction.

After Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan dug two baskets of herbs, they decided not to take more, and they also saw the people collecting herbs walking down the mountain.

"Brother, it's getting late, you should go down the mountain early."

Someone shouted from a distance, and Shi Xiaoliu stood up and waved to the person over there: "Okay."

The people over there went down the mountain, and Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan walked back. On the way, they also dug up some wild vegetables and went to the mountain spring to wash the herbs and wild vegetables.

When they returned to the mountain, it was already dark.

Shi Xiaoliu waved his hand and a row of moon lanterns hung under the eaves.

Shi Zelan smiled and said, "It's beautiful.

Xiaoliu, you seem to be in a better mood now. ”

The brother and sister sat under the eaves, drank vegetable soup, and then shared their experiences of the market.

“There are so many people.

Sister Lan, do you think the market near Shijiazhuang is so lively? ”

"I think it's much more lively than this place. There are many people in Shijiazhuang."

Shi Xiaoliu thought for a moment and asked, "Sister Lan, has Wanyu sent you any news recently?"

Shi Zelan shook her head: "I don't know if they are coming this way?"

"Xia Yu hasn't sent me any news for a long time.

I sent him a message two days ago. ”

"Xiao Liu, should we go to the Governor's Hall to spread the news of our safety?"

Shi Xiaoliu thought about it seriously and said, "Wait until Master and Uncle Master come out of retreat before sending the news to the sect."

After discussing it, the two sat under the eaves for a while and then went into their rooms.

After Shi Xiaoliu entered the room for a while, he left the room again. When he went up to the roof, he also looked at Shi Zelan's door.

Shi Xiaoliu sat on the roof, his heart pounding with emotion for a moment, unable to calm down.

The sky brightened. Shi Xiaoliu shook off the dew on his body and found that he had been in a daze the whole night.

Shi Zelan came out of the room and looked up to see Shi Xiaoliu on the roof.

She smiled and said to Shi Xiaoliu: "The weather is getting hot, shall we take down the leaves that cover the residence of Master and Uncle?"

"OK."

The two of them started to remove the leaves from the residences of Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng. Some of the leaves had already rotted, while others had dried up.

At 3 p.m., they piled up the leaves and burned them directly.

The smoke floated into the sky and quickly merged into the clouds.

People who were picking herbs on the nearby mountains inadvertently looked up and saw it, only to feel that the clouds and fog in the sky were too thick.

After careful observation, they saw that the mist quickly dispersed, so they focused on picking herbs.

The residences of Zhenren Decheng and Zhenren Shanzheng emit a unique glow under the sunlight.
