Xue Ranran didn't expect that the weird-faced man would use her inadvertent compliment to shut her up. When she didn't know how to respond, she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

I only heard Qiao Lian shouting hastily outside the door: "Ran Ran, open the door quickly!"

Ran Ran knew that his parents had returned, and he was relieved, so he ran to open the door. But when he opened the door, Qiao Lian was crying and supporting Xue Liangui, whose face was covered in blood, as he prepared to come in.

Just now she had dragged the head of the village to seek justice, and the head of the village spoke and judged like a human being at first.

But Mr. Ding's wife tried to persuade him, hinting that her second son had some influence in the county academy, and that her eldest son was going to enter the academy this year, so she could help.

After hearing this, the director actually backed off and said that the furniture was broken and that he really shouldn't be paid. Then he used the excuse that his bitch was about to give birth and left in a hurry.

Qiao Lian was so furious that she started quarreling with Mr. Ding's wife.

The Ding family was large, and finally several burly cousins ​​and nephews came over to beat Qiao Lian. Xue Liangui was beaten again for protecting his wife.

Fortunately, Qiao Lian suddenly remembered her daughter's instructions before she left the house, and suddenly she had an idea. She shouted loudly: "Come and see! Mr. Ding's parents are going to beat someone to death! How can such a family raise a good son? How can he pass the provincial examination?"

Her shout finally made the Ding family stop.

After all, the second son of the Ding family was about to take the college entrance examination, and the officials from the township would be sent down to investigate the conduct of these candidates in the next few days. If someone really died, wouldn't it ruin his son's future?

Mr. Ding was startled when Qiao Lian called him like that. He was afraid that his wife would be confused and delay his son's important event, so he angrily threw three strings of money to Qiao Lian.

Although he got his wages back, Xue Liangui was severely beaten.

Qiao Lian felt hatred and regret. She hated the Ding family for being full of beasts, and regretted not listening to her daughter. If she had known the weak points of the Ding family earlier, how could she have let her man get hurt?

She cried all the way back with her husband, but when she opened the door, she found several ferocious monsters standing in her yard. One of them... couldn't even see any eyes or nose!

Qiaolian was so exhausted that she fainted. Ranran only had two hands, and he was not strong enough to support his mother, let alone his father, whose legs were weak from fear.

Fortunately, the woman named Yutong came over, helped Ran Ran to support her mother, and helped her to send the two of them back into the house.

Although Xue Liangui was frightened out of his wits, he saw that the three men did not seem to have any ill intentions, so he managed to calm down and asked his daughter, "Ran Ran, who... are they?"

Ran Ran turned around and saw that the strange-faced man had already put on his veil. He breathed a sigh of relief, but was afraid that his father might say something wrong, so he quickly reminded him, "Dad, they are all immortals who have come to recruit disciples to prolong their lives..."

Hearing his daughter's words, Xue Liangui's face turned even paler - why did these people who were taking their own lives come again? Could it be that they knew that Ran Ran was also born in the Qing Geng Year?

At this time, Qiao Lian was fed with water and woke up with a low hum. Ran Ran was afraid that her mother would faint again, so she quickly explained that these immortals came to drink water and eat.

Yu Tong felt that he was interrupting too much, so he took out a wallet and rummaged through the things inside.

She thought: In the previous meal, all the bacon went into the little girl's mouth. It's just a simple meal, so there's no need to give her more.

After weighing it for a long time, she finally managed to pinch out some small change, put it on the table as meal money, and then planned to leave.

The reincarnation fruit is about to fall to the ground, and it sounds like Wei Yan and his disciples are also here. If the reincarnated Mu Qingge falls into Wei Yan's hands, I'm afraid the master's plan to break the curse will be in vain again.

So in the next few days, she has to take time to guard Jueshan and not let any of the spiritual fruits be lost!

Of course, after the master lifted the curse, Mu Qingge's life or death was no longer important. Yu Tong hoped that she would die immediately and stop harming her master.

But Su Yishui didn't seem to want to leave. Seeing that Xue Liangui seemed to have a broken leg, he reached out to help the carpenter connect the broken bones, and then covered the injured area with his hand.

Xue Liangui was originally in excruciating pain, but who would have thought that after this strange man covered the wound with his hand, he actually felt warm and the pain disappeared in a moment.

Such magical powers are indeed only possessed by immortals!

Surprised, Xue Liangui carefully thanked this strange man. However, Su Yishui just said lightly: "I just numbed your pain temporarily. After three days, you will still feel pain. But the broken bones have been connected. As long as you keep it fixed and recuperate, it will not be a big deal after the broken bones heal."

Yu Chen, who was standing by, was furious after hearing what happened to the carpenter and his wife. He asked, "Do you want me to teach that bully from the Ding family a lesson for you?"

Xue Liangui was already full of regret, and quickly waved his hand and said, "No need, otherwise we will have to move out of here, so it's better not to cause any trouble."

At this moment, Qiao Lian woke up slowly, and after listening to her daughter's whispered explanation, she finally calmed down.

But to Yu Tong's surprise, Su Yishui, who had always been indifferent to worldly affairs, seemed very approachable today, and in a few words he started acting like a fortune teller.

After hearing that they were going back to their hometown in Hening, Su Yishui bluntly said that her daughter was unlucky and might die in a few days. Only by practicing some immortal ways could she live a long life.

Under normal circumstances, the couple would definitely believe these persuasive words from ghosts and gods.

But previously, some evildoers were looking for Qing Gengnian's child everywhere, and now this strange-looking man is trying every means to take his daughter as his apprentice. It doesn't seem like a good thing at all.

And fate only lasts for a few days? That's too mysterious, isn't it? It sounds like a curse!

So Qiao Lian refused outright and prepared to chase them out with polite words.

Su Yishui didn't say much, just left a sentence: "If you regret it, you can go to the West Mountain of Yongcheng to find me. My name is Su Yishui."

After saying this, he led his two followers away gracefully - if you don't look at his face, just from the back, he is really a handsome man with a pine-like figure, broad shoulders and narrow waist...

Qiao Lian found herself distracted by the man's back and quickly regained her composure.

What's wrong with her? She keeps staring at that weird-looking guy unconsciously...

When Su Yishui left the Xue family, Yu Tong asked, "Master, do you want me to stay and guard the reincarnation tree to prevent the spiritual fruit from getting lost?"

But Su Yishui said calmly: "No need, we have been traveling for too long, it's time to go back..."

However, when they were about to leave the village, they happened to run into the Ding family's carriage which was also preparing to leave the village.

Mr. Ding had just had a quarrel with the Xue family couple. Although he paid the carpenter's wages because of his reputation in the provincial examination, he was very unhappy in his heart.

Because there was a social dinner in the county town tonight, he hurried to take his son there for a drink and, at the same time, took care of the officials who had already arrived in the county town to examine the candidates' character.

At this moment, he sat in the carriage and scolded his son in a low voice: "A man's future is the most important thing. Why are you messing with the sick girl from the Xue family at this moment? When you become famous in the future, she won't even be worthy of being your maid! You are a family of rubbish. When this is over, I will burn down the Xue family's house in the middle of the night!"

The second son laughed and said, "I was just teasing you casually. How come Dad took it as seriously as my mother did? That kind of girl always flirts with me for no reason. She is just a frivolous girl who is having fun. Dad, don't get angry. You still have to drink with those officials taking the provincial examination later!"

Although Su Yishui was far away from the carriage, as a cultivator of immortality, his hearing was originally different from that of ordinary people. Even though there was a country road between them, he could hear it clearly.

Yu Tong saw it clearly from the side. The master lightly raised his finger, made a quick gesture, drew an empty symbol and shot it towards the carriage.

That is the entry-level mantra for immortal cultivation, called the "Heart and Mouth Be One" mantra.

Those who are under this spell will never say anything against their will within three hours, and they will speak from their heart. That is why it is called "saying what you mean".

The father and son of the Ding family were going to meet the examiner, so they would inevitably say some flattering words. If they were cursed, who knows what kind of deadly jokes they would make...

It was obvious that the father and son of the Ding family made their master very unhappy.

Yu Tong was surprised again. His master, who usually didn't like to meddle in other people's business, was really possessed by evil spirits today!

As for the three members of the Xue family, Qiao Lian planned to spend the winter before leaving, but now that they have offended Mr. Ding's family, it is not advisable to delay and it is better to set off as soon as possible.

Although I only collected three strings of money, if I were more frugal, I could sell some of the wooden barrels and stools I brought with me in the villages along the way, and take on some odd carpentry jobs, which would be enough.

So Qiao Lian prepared some food and dry rations for the journey and packed a few simple bags. The carpenter also loaded his woodworking tools onto the donkey cart, found a thick lock to lock the gate, and then hurriedly set off.

However, when they were near the county town, they met some villagers who had just returned from the county town. They were talking with great interest about the fresh rumors they had heard when they went to the county town's West Market in the morning.

It is said that last night the Ding family father and son asked someone to spend money to attend the county elders' night banquet.

But the father and son had drunk some wine at home, and they started talking nonsense after sitting down at the table.

When Mr. Ding heard his father-in-law praising his future son-in-law's solid knowledge to others, he actually smiled and said that his second son was an unlearned bastard who had hired others to write for him when he took the exams several times and had relied on money to pave his way to the top.

He revealed his son's cheating scandal in such a proud tone that made people look at each other in shock.

The second son of the Ding family was so drunk that he spoke without restraint. He even asked the county lord where he bought his concubine, who had such a voluptuous and graceful figure, and he wished he could sleep with her a few times.

In short, the father and son of the Ding family do not speak human language at all. When the future in-laws meet them, the old man will be so ashamed that he will want to crawl under the table.

In the end, the father and son of the Ding family were beaten out with sticks by the angry and humiliated county magistrate. Having aroused public anger in such a situation, the future and marriage of the second son of the Ding family were in jeopardy.

Carpenter Xue and Qiao Lianxian felt relieved after hearing this. But even if the Ding family's boat was broken, it still had three pounds of nails, so they still had to go out and hide.

The old donkey in the family was very old and could not pull a heavy cart, so for most of the journey, Ranran and his father who had a leg injury were in the carriage, while Qiaolian was at the bottom pulling the donkey forward.

Because of the magical power of the Immortal Su, Carpenter Xue did not feel any pain in the first three days. It was not until the third day that his leg began to hurt like needles.

However, Carpenter Xue could not care about the pain in his legs because his daughter Ranran suddenly fell ill one day after leaving Juefeng Village.

Ran Ran didn't have a fever either. She was wilting like a flower that had been drained of moisture. Her pale yellow face was rapidly becoming thinner.
