Chapter 536: How Needy Is an Old Wife?
Lanqu Town is an ancient and quaint town. Even though it looks much more dilapidated due to years of disrepair, it is still pleasing to the eye.
Yun Qimu was particularly surprised by the small streams in the ditches that ran through the entire town.
Even the royal capital is short of water. Who wouldn't be surprised that there is such a clear water source in this remote town surrounded by mountains?
Seeing Yun Qimu's surprised expression, Xing Ran, who was walking beside him, puffed out his chest and smiled proudly. "This is all thanks to our Wizard King. Lanqu Town originally had a self-circulating water system, but it dried up a long time ago. Seeing this, our Wizard King ordered water users to release water into the ditch every day. This not only provides clean water for the town, but also allows people to practice their abilities, beautify the environment, and improve the air quality. It's really killing two birds with one stone."
The surprise on Yun Qimu's face turned into admiration, "Well, the Witch King's decision is indeed wise."
Yun Xiaoyu, who was held by Yun Jingzheng behind him, nodded seriously to show her support for what he said.
"It does look much more beautiful." Hua Mingfei also spoke, with a smile on his lips as he followed Yun Qimu, walking lazily with his long legs.
The sunlight shone on him, and the lazy and noble scent emanated from him, causing many girls passing by to look at him a few more times.
But I just looked at it a few more times, no more.
Yun Qimu discovered that the women in this town, whether young or old, all had a heroic spirit.
His dressing style is very similar to that of the Witch King he had just met. He wears a simple top, either a shirt or a round neck, comfortable and flexible overalls, and boots on his feet. It is simple and neat.
The most important thing is the vitality they carry. Each one of them is heroic, full of vigor and fighting spirit. They are completely different from the harsh and tired women in the capital.
She looks more energetic than the men.
The strength of the Witch King's army can be seen from this mental outlook.
Yun Qimu thought of the mechas in the royal capital, and his brows couldn't help but frown. He wondered who would win between the Witch King's army and the King of Han's army, who were so motivated?
She wanted to see the Witch King's army win, but the King of Han had the help of the gods, so it would be difficult for them to win.
She knew better than anyone the power represented by the divine favor. As long as they stood on the side of the King of Han, the rebels would not win the battle for the royal city.
Later, Yun Jingzheng glanced sideways at his brother-in-law and asked in a somewhat awkward voice, "Have you been here?"
Hua Mingfei glanced at him sideways, then raised the corner of his mouth, "Yes, I came to this hilltop with my sister to look for food, and then accidentally entered Lanqu Town."
Yun Jingzheng had a serious face and listened attentively to his wife's childhood stories with his ears perked up. When he heard something interesting, he would smile knowingly.
Yun Qimu, who had come to his senses in front, also kept some of his attention here and was silent for a while.
After walking for nearly half an hour, Xing Ran finally said, "We're here."
"Look, this is Qinghe Courtyard. After our Wu King army arrived, the townspeople of Lanqu Town welcomed us very much and even gave us three particularly good houses. One of them is for the Wu King, and the other two were originally intended for the Hua King and Li King. However, the Hua King was still leading his troops outside and didn't join us, so this Qinghe Courtyard is now vacant."
Xing Ran pushed open the gate of the yard and walked inside while introducing them to them with an envious tone.
Yun Qimu followed behind and took a look at the spacious and clean courtyard. He also felt that the conditions here were N times better than the previous simple porridge shop.
Especially the small lotus pond dug in the middle of the yard, with large patches of emerald green round lotus leaves floating in the middle of the water, and lotus flowers blooming, revealing pink pointed corners, which looks particularly fresh and natural.
None of the cabins in the global village can compare to the beauty and comfort of this house.
Xing Ran followed her gaze and raised his chin proudly. "We also created this lotus pond. We found lotus seeds in this family's house. The water-type psychic filled the pond with water, and the wood-type psychic helped the lotus grow."
"Oh, by the way, lotus flowers can be used as medicine. This was specially ordered by King Li, so King Li will probably come to this yard to pick lotus flowers. Miss Yun, please open the door for me when he comes."
Yun Qimu naturally nodded. Looking at the beautiful lotus flowers in the lotus pond, she thought that she could also plant some lotus flowers on the small river in Earth Town.
Yun Jingzheng was thinking about when to convert the houses in the village into stone houses. It seemed that stone houses looked beautiful and spacious, and much more comfortable than wooden houses.
Just as they were looking around the house, a strong old man with white hair passed by the door.
"Eh—" His pair of energetic eyes suddenly glared, and he took a few steps back. Then he peeked inside the doorway of the house. After confirming that it was indeed his eldest grandson, he immediately opened his mouth and roared, "Xing Ran, you stinky boy, you sneaked in here to look at houses again—"
"I told you it would take another hundred or eighty years for you to be allocated this house."
The old man walked in hurriedly and caught Xing Ran, who was scared to death by his shouting.
Xing Ran tilted his ear, his face wrinkled as he screamed exaggeratedly, "It hurts, it hurts, Grandpa, please give me some face and don't pull my ear. There are guests here."
"And I didn't sneak in this time. I came here openly, with the order of the Witch King."
"Uh..." The old man said embarrassedly after hearing this. He quickly let go and glanced at Yun Qimu and the other three beside him. Then he glared at Xing Ran and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
It made him embarrassed as well.
Xing Ran covered his ears, his face full of grievance, "You are old but still strong, and you moved so quickly, I didn't have time to say anything."
He is extremely innocent.
The old man glanced at her with a guilty look and chuckled, "Well, it's Grandpa's fault."
Then he set his eyes on the little girl standing not far away, smiling politely at him. Suddenly, his energetic old eyes brightened even more. He clapped his hands and said happily, "Wow, Xing Ran, you've made it big. Where did you go out and bring back such a beautiful young wife?"
Yun Qimu's smile froze at this shocking statement, which reminded her of Aunt Meifang in the Global Village.
Are the elders nowadays so worried about the daughters-in-law of their juniors? They must be so desperate for daughters-in-law.
The eyes of Yun Jingzheng and Hua Mingfei became sharp at the same time.
Even Yun Xiaoyu glared at Xing Ran fiercely.
Xing Ran was not in a much better condition. First his face turned red, then his saliva got stuck in his throat and he started coughing violently.
Ah, the title has an extra "old" character, I can't change it
